Budgerigars are very amusing pets. At the correct education they not only please the owners with ridiculous remarks, monologues and even songs, but also become full and favourite family members.
If you decided to buy a parrot, then do not forget to think previously of how to choose a budgerigar it is correct. Simple advice will help you to make a right choice.
- It is desirable to buy a young parrot. First, he with ease adapts in a situation, new to it. Secondly – will be more cheerful and active. Much more simply and quicker to train a young parrot, and here the birdie "aged" can not give in at all on all your attempts to teach her to talk. To be sure that you buy a young bird, pay attention to eyes of a parrot. At young parrots of an eye absolutely black, and at adult birds the pupil surrounds a white ring. At a young birdie which is not yet two months old the tail will be much shorter, than at adult individuals. On a head and a back at a young parrot the accurate wavy drawing appears, and at an adult birdie it differs very poorly. The parrot is more senior, the his plumage is painted more brightly, and the is lighter than it klyuvik.
- To choose a budgerigar it is correct, you have to know accurately who is necessary to you – the boy or the girl? Males possess the highest rates to training therefore if you want your parrot quickly to learn to speak, then it is better to choose the boy. The sex of parrots is defined on a color of a nadklyuvny voskovitsa and legs of a bird. At males these places are painted in blue and blue shades, and at the self-check – in white, cream or brown colors. Though color scale of plumage also does not affect directly speech abilities of a birdie, is interesting the fact that green budgerigars are the most talkative.
- Special attention needs to be paid on mood of a birdie. If the parrot active and vigorous, at him good mood is a right indicator that he is healthy. If the birdie sluggish, sits having ruffled up, does not react to people and other parrots is a symptom of a disease. You should not buy such parrot even if he very much was pleasant to you externally. Before purchase it is necessary to examine a parrot completely: his eyes, klyuvik and nostrils have to be clean, the pad free of defects, in plumage should not be bald spots. Some parrots for whom cared insufficiently well get an addiction – pull out the plumelets. If you see on a birdie of a bald spot, so it not young and contained in bad conditions. It will be very difficult to save a parrot from this habit.
- Choosing a birdie, do not forget also about a right choice of a cage for a parrot. An optimal variant – a spacious cage square or a rectangular shape as parrots love spaces with corners. Do not forget about a drinking bowl, a feeding trough, a special bathing bath, and, of course, about toys. It can be small mirrors, suspended rings, trapezes and short flights of stairs. Parrots very much love bright toys and with pleasure are engaged in them.
