Budgies, or Parakeets as they are know are a fantastic breed of parrot from the country of Australia. While they are no longer imported they are easily bred in captivity producing stunning colors. Parakeets like all birds require toys. Budgie bird toys are much smaller and easier to destroy. However their small beaks can pack quite a pinch and occasionally draw blood. Many small bird owners place one toy in the cage thinking that it is sufficient. The fact is, Budgies are very energetic and rarely sit still unless napping or preening. If you keep a parakeet or parakeets as pets, make sure to provide a wide variety of small toys suitable for small birds. Budgies can easily go through toys, especially those made of soft fibers and natural materials. I have witnessed parakeets destroy an entire cuttlebone in just one hour! What they lack in size they more than make up for it in spunk and attitude.
