    Budgies are not sold in pet stores in my country, nor any other birds. They do sell the supplies tho. This meant I had to find my budgies at a breeder and they're usually very supportive and nice. The good news about that, is that the budgies are sold at a low price everywhere, but the bad news is, that the lower the birds are sold for, the easier it feels for someone, like parents, to get rid of them, if they bought it for their child, that now have no interest in them. I see too many post about 2-3 year old budgies trying to be sold because of the owners getting bored of them. God I hate when people consider pets as materials.

    I worked for a little pet store up until recently. We ordered 50 budgies at a time, separated them between our three stores, and kept them for sale until they all sold. Some were there so long that they went into breeding condition but they found a home still. We got sick budgies in every now and again and tried really hard to nurse them back to health.

      If it means anything, I did bring home a baby budgie that had a broken leg that the manager was going to put in a plastic bag and tie it shut, then put it in the freezer to kill her. She's what got me back into budgies and I made a tiny splint for her with a qtip and medical tape, then she healed up 2 weeks later. I was not about to let him kill her for something that could be fixed, especially in such an inhumane way. Her name is Kiwi and I would do anything for that bird. I got two friends for her a month later.

    They do not care at all. I used to work in a petshop and the owner of the petshop didn't wanted even to clean the cages properly or feed them any fruits or veggies because they are "expensive and make a lot of mess". At the petshop I used to work they didn't even send the sick budgies back to breeder or any vet. They just took those budgies in the deposit in very small cages and let them die there without any water changed daily. After those poor souls die, they throw them in the trash. I couldn't work there more than a month, but I tried at least to give those poor animals a better life. I taught the new employees to change their water 2 times a day at least.

      Wow, That's sad. At least where I live, the pet stores actually care and take care of the birds. They have fruits and veggies in their cage at least twice a week, they have a calcium block in the cage along with toys, the sick birds are put into a separate cage in the back (that has food water and toys) and the cages where the birds are normally kept are massive.

      Same. The pet store I used to work at didn't care at all either. We cleaned the cages once a week, And got them fresh water and food, but the cages weren't very big. And they held about 10 birds each. There where no toys, and just one stick that all the Birds just sat on, all day, every day, for months until they either got sold or died.. A really sad existence tbh. I felt so bad for them.

    I currently work at a small local pet store! We keep all of our budgies until they’re sold, and if one gets injured or sick, our back room serves as our animal hospital where we have spare cages for any kind of animal, and it’s not uncommon for one of us to take home an injured animal as well since we can’t sell them. We strive for proper pet care!

    I actually bought two budgies less than a week ago.. the owner advised me against one of them, when I asked him if she has any health problems he went on to say that he didn't like her head patterns and she had too many dark spots that make her ugly.. I was infuriated because I fell in love with her the moment I saw her, i felt so protective over her and became even more adamant on taking her home after that because I knew she won't be sold,and I didn't know what would her destiny be.. now I'm just hoping to become a good parent to them, I'm totally new to this

      Ok I do agree with you about giving the budgies a better life but if you do buy them all then that's basically telling the company to keep breeding more birds so that they could get sold. I guess the only way to actually stop these cruel animal business is to start boycotting them untill something happens. It's sad that pet stores don't have a more humane way to sell animals.

    When I brought my 2 cockatiels over 30 years ago, I went into the pet shop and there were only 2 there, a scabby(that is an English saying for ugly looking) , manky bald female, and male. But the shop owner said I could not just buy one I must buy them as a pair. Well I got them, named them Bonnie an Clyde, but all the 20 years I had Bonnie, she never got rid of her baldness, and always looked a funny bleeder. Clyde only lived 12 years, but when he died, I got Bonnie a new companion, only a few months old, Mitch, he will be 22 this year.

    Tip: Budgies love night lights. I keep my 14 budgies in my spare bedroom with many natural branches set up around the room. I never keep them totally in a dark room as they get night fright. After Xmas, strings of small tree lights are greatly reduced in price. Set up around your budgie room (low down) serves the purpose of soft low light for budgies as well as work as a great night light through the open screened budgie room door.

    I got my 2 budgies from a man who kept birds as a hobby of some sorts and he’d sometimes let them breed. A lot of the budgies there were birds that didn’t get sold. It was nice to see that he kept those too and all of the budgies were very tame. Sadly, bird stores don’t know how to handle birds at all. I went out to buy bird toys once and some lady chased a budgie down with a net.. It was clear that it wasn’t used to hand contact at all and it looked frightened! Pet stores should stop selling animals and inadequate cages, as it just leads to people being misinformed and pets being unhappy.

    Whenever I buy a budgie, I always try to pick the one that's sitting by himself. I don't like separating two budgies that clearly like each other, and I feel that the lonely budgie will at least get a new friend with the other budgie I have back home.
    Both of my budgies died last year, but they died several months apart. Since I hate the idea of having one budgie sitting by himself, all lonesome, I got two new budgies. Both of whom were sitting by themselves in the pet store, and both of whom seem to really like each other now. They just can't leave one another alone.

    When I went to travelling in other countries, I like to visit pets stores, especially to see budgies. In many shops, they placed food and water dishes right below the sticks birds standing. It can be seen clearly birds drops are in the water dishes. Every time, I went to talk to shop assistants, show her or him the problem that birds would get sick or die if they eat or drink dirty food or water, I advised them to place these dishes in different places so birds drops would not directly drop into dishes. I hope more people can do this when see this kind of problem.

    We mostly bought our budgies from the pet store, except for two. One we actually adopted because he was listed on a pet adoption site back in early 2007 and ended up outliving many of his store-bought buddies. The partner he had before passing away was bought back in 2013; after mid-to-late 2019 when the adopted one passed away, we ended up finding another budgie listed from an adoption site who is now my current store-bought budgie's partner. I personally plan to adopt if getting any more in the future.

I wanted another bit never had a job. But when I got my first job I went to a local petshop to buy one budgie. However, when I got there, there were only two and I didn't just want to leave one behind so I took them both. Now they are thriving.

    true story. my first budgie, Asher, was gotten from Petco. His wings were clipped from an extremely young age, and they never grew back as he got older. unfortunately, he passed away from illness. My next budgie, Odin, has extreme anxiety. Whenever I adopted him, the woman warned me that he was from a very bad household and to be patient with him. I have had him for at least 4 months. He doesnt bite as much as he used to, but he is still terrified of people. Goes to show you how much budgies can remember. especially with trauma

    The employees in the pet shop i saw were really good at taking care of them, the budgies have fruits and veggies in their cage, they're fully tamed and they even bonded with the employees. Even though they're tamed, they still sell it at the same price like the other stores. They said when they have free time they always approach to the budgies just to play/talk to them. But when a budgie is at age of 6 months, they breed it to find a mate and live a normal life in a aviary for budgies.

I chose the oldest and his name is Dove(he's gray and I was young and unoriginal) he is super skittish and I've never been able to hand tame him even tho I spend every day next to his cage holding millet? He eats the millet but won't step onto my hand. I think he may be too old to get over his fear of people from the pet store? If anyone else knows about this behavior in their birds drop me a comment?

    Thanks for bringing up this topic. It’s sounds like an awful fate for the unwanted budgies. Also, that pet store you show, should have wide ladder like structures on a slant across from each other. With the odd ladder rung being of a different texture. That way the budgies have many choices where to sit. Up or down, also they can fly/hop across from one ladder to the other. If you know the owner well, perhaps you can make, something like that for the owner to try. That would show the owner cares for the birds enrichment.

    Yes this is very true I know this Chinese men who have budgies cockatiels ringnecks and love birds and they are in terrible conditions very dirty cages their feathers are terribly messed up in their beaks are filled with nasty things on them and I remember three years ago I brought three budgies and when I got three of them they were happy and healthy with me I give them fresh food water toys everything they could have imagined and most Saturdays I will go to the same place to see how the birds are doing and they are the same condition ever since I got the three budgies. And I'm pretty sure they're all the birds they have there is completely sick cuz of how they are and when I went to get one of the three of the birds which is a blue one I saw in the in the cage are dead budgie in the man knew about that dead budgie and he says that he just going to leave it there and it was just painful to see that dead budgie like very painful I wish that all of this will change of how people have these budgies in cages but this is very terrible.
