BUT I heard that when you get more than one bird it reduces the chances of them talking, and may effect their relationship towards you. I have one big worry about getting budgie. I go away for weekends and occasionally a week or two and don't know anyone who would want to look after my budgies and have no relatives nearby. Have planned up to three holidays in Summer which may be up to one week each, and don't know an aviary where they can be looked after and I don't want them to suffer, do you have any suggestions for a trusted aviary where they can stay happily and get the attention they need. Thank you for your time :) I have one more question, I would like to get two budgies ,and as I am away from eight in the morning until around four o’clock in the afternoon every week day, I want my budgies to have some company and not get bored.

They are often sad and lonely when they leave the brood. I don't want to sound mean but I am against keeping a single budgie unless you are at home full time and play the partner roll. Budgies are highly social and can get depressed if they are alone all day. TV or Radio helps aleviate the boredom but it isn't the answer. That's why they are the perfect pet for tweenies, stay at home (moms/dads) and retired people who have time to mollycoddle them. Otherwise they should be kept in pairs. :) But hopefully he has started eating...were there any signs of illness? Sorry about the late reply… :(

They play with it, use it to keep their beaks sharp and probably even eat a little but they definitely have fun with it. As for the other foods...animals aren't stupid...I hate tomatoes so I don't eat them...use common sense and if they don't eat it simply remove it from the cage. Have you tried peanuts or oatmeal....these are great too. But don't expect all the birds to have the same tastes...us people don't either. :) I give them bread that has gone hard and dry and I think it has a few functions.

They are highly territorial and will bite each other till one is gone. The boys are like a gay couple and will feed and clean each other. Be sure to get them from the same brood (two brothers) if possible as even though they aren't really aggressively territorial they like to see who can sing the loudest to show who is more macho...somewhat like blokes leaving the pub on Saturday night. lol 2 boys YES…2 girls a BIG FAT NO! :)
