Like their larger cousins, these little guys need fruits and vegetables in their diets, too. Many people recommend a staple diet of manufactured pellets supplemented with seeds and fresh produce. Budgies are notoriously reluctant to try new foods, so it may take time and diligence to widen their interests to include these other items, especially if they were weaned to eat seeds. Budgie cages should be cleaned regularly to prevent bacteria from growing on their wastes in the cage. Most budgie cages can be scrubbed in the bathtub weekly and the lining paper changed daily.
Budgies occasionally succumb to health problems which require veterinary care.
Try to find a vet who is experienced in avian medicine since treating birds is quite different from treating mammals. Budgies are tiny and inexpensive pets, so it's easy to think that they are going to be less trouble than some other pets. This is not necessarily so. Budgies have tiny voices, but when they are happy they chatter almost constantly. Some people find this pleasing while others are annoyed by it.
