Budgerigar

Rainbow feathers, clever beaks and voices that can whistle, chatter or copy sounds! Come and meet Budgerigar — a treasured resident of our tropical sanctuary in Epping. Stand quietly, watch closely, and you might spot a blink, a stretch, or a cheeky scramble that makes you fall in love in five seconds flat. Behind every smile is a story. Animals like Budgerigar often arrive because a home changed, a rescue needed space, or someone realised wild beauty deserves expert care. We promise warmth, the right food, enrichment and keepers who know each personality. When a child presses their nose to the glass and whispers ‘hello’, that second chance becomes a lifelong memory — for them and for Budgerigar. The budgerigar, also known as the common parakeet, shell parakeet or budgie, is a small, long-tailed, seed-eating parrot native to Australia. Naturally, the species is green and yellow with black, scalloped markings on the nape, back, and wings. Budgies are bred in captivity with colouring of blues, whites, yellows, greys, and even with small crests. Adults often remember: Small, long-tailed, seed-eating parakeet. At Get To Know Animals we turn those wild facts into daily care — the right heat, humidity, UV where needed, climbing or digging space, and food that matches what Budgerigars evolved to eat. It costs over £35,000 every month to feed, heat and care for 300+ animals. Parrots need lifelong fruit, pellets, foraging toys and specialist avian vets — a single macaw’s annual care can rival a family pet’s entire budget. Adopting Budgerigar, sponsoring a meal, funding the wish list or joining Patreon isn’t ‘extra’ — it’s how Budgerigar eats next Tuesday when the weather is quiet and the till is slow. You can help today: adopt Budgerigar, buy a treat, play Get To Feed Animals, or become a monthly patron. Every pound is love you can measure in full bowls, warm lamps and wagging (or flicking) tails.
