The Perfect Pet? Why, A Budgie Of Course!
The reason for me writing this article should be obvious: the Budgie has been too often overlooked as a pet. While dogs and cats have enjoyed being the subjects of films, books and cartoons, the budgie has only ever made an appearance in a cartoon when it was to be eaten shortly after, and rarely has it featured in films or books. So there you have it; everyone should know how great budgie’s are.
But be warned, there are things that budgie’s will never be good at. One of them is flying in an enclosed space, and the other is being friendly. It doesn’t matter how you treat them, me and my friend Doug Hyde have both had budgie’s and both of us agree: it’s hard to find one that doesn’t want to kill you when you pick it up.
That said, there’s no reason why you should want to pick the budgie up. If you like you can stroke it while it sits menacingly on its perch – always use gloves – and if you need muck-out the cage then you can always encourage him or her out into another smaller cage while you do the job. I realise I have given minimal reasons to love budgie’s in this post, but really with this spectacle of pets it’s just best to go with your instinct. So go out and buy a budgie today and save that one you see every morning on the way to work from a life lived behind glass. He or she will thank you for it. Once he or she has stopped trying to kill you…
