Budgie? I don't really know. What are some quieter birds?
Sorry I am very late in posting on this thread.
But just incase you haven’t got a bird yet..or for anyone else looking here..
There is no such thing as a quiet(er) bird.
Budgies CONSTANTLY chatter away. And most other birds have a high screech.
I have birds, they are not easy pets. They require a lot of care and attention. And many types are a life long commitment. Or at least 20-30 years.
Do not get a bird if you want an easy quiet pet, and do not get a bird just because you have seen cute videos of friendly and talking birds.
Birds are HIGHLY social, and should never live alone. Even if you think you are going to spend lots of time with it. They need same species companionship.
They also need huge cages. And to be able to bet let out of their cages to safely fly around the home.
I personally do not have inside birds at the moment as I do not have the time, and to be completely honest..I actually struggled with the noise at times (and I’m a huge animal lover with lots of patience)..
I absolutely love birds, I much prefer to see them flying wild and free. But Alas captive birds have been dealt a hard and unfair life and cannot have that luxury. Therefore it is up to us to give those birds the absolute best life possible. And always try your best to rescue. The bird trade is pretty awful.
My birds, Cockatiels and Budgies live in a large aviary outside with fresh branches and room to stretch. But I still feel sad for them..
