The budgerigar is a bird of the parrot family Psittacidae, also known as the Jiao Feng, and is a small climbing bird species whose lifespan is affected by environmental and food factors, among other things. Usually the average life expectancy of budgies between 7-10 years, the wild general life expectancy of 7-8 years, and captive budgies due to scientific feeding as well as care in place, so the body shape will be larger than the wild, life expectancy is also longer, the general life expectancy of captive up to 12 years, and even more can live more than 20 years.

Precautions for keeping budgies

When keeping budgies, be careful to use a special waterer to feed them, if you use a bowl to feed them, they will use it directly as a bucket, which will lead to contamination of the drinking water. To feed budgies should pay attention to the use of millet with shells, so that they can take in more comprehensive nutrition. Budgies like to climb, so be careful to prepare swings in the cage for their entertainment.

The best way to keep budgies is to use an iron cage, because their beaks are very hard and they will chew on their cage if they are not doing anything, if the cage is made of other materials, it will be easy for them to chew through it and fly away. The bottom of the cage can be covered with a layer of newspaper, so that it is easy to clean up the budgies' feces to ensure that their living environment is clean and hygienic.
