Do the males or females talk more or at all?
Thank you,
Lynn
Lynn, generally speaking, hand-raised males are more apt to talk more. You can read more about the gender differences on our FAQ page: http://puppiesareprozac.com/budgie-parakeet/as-pets-faq/
Which is better a boy or girl?
Hello,
I am going to be getting a budgie from you, and I was wondering if a boy or a girl would be better personality, training, cuddling, etc. wise.
Could you also tell me everything you teach your budgies before they are sold? Thank you!
I’m so proud of our birds. I love the birds that we raised together. And I love you mom.
