 * BUYING YOUR BUDGIE![[image:bird_cages.jpg width="365" height="417"]]**

Buying your budgie is the first step in becoming a really good budgie carer. Go to your local pet shop and look closley at the budgies. Ask the pet shop owner about the most behaved birds and the prices of them. You want to pick a budgie that you think suits you. DO NOT get budgies known to be nosy or ones that bite or misbehave. Pick a nice color of the budgie so when they fly around the room its easy to spot them. My budgies, Bluey and Slimjim, have distinctive colours like Turqoise, yellow, purple, black and many different greens. The second step of Kepping your bid happy and healthy is picking the right cage.


 * PICKING THE RIGHT CAGE!**

Pick a cage that you know your budgie will go to after flying around. he needs to get used to his cage so dont swap it often. They need to get used to it because they need to know where they cage is and need to be trained in getting in their cage buy themselves. Pick a cage that is attractive to your bird and suits the budgie. You dont want a cage that is too big because if the cage is too spacious they find it more difficult to find its way back in the cage again.


 * BIGGEST LOSER BUDGIE?!?**

You dont want your budgie to be overweight. You need to find the right types of food such as seeds, to maintain a healthy diet.
