frequently asked Questions

Will my budgie answer its name?

Possible. If you are patient and mention the name frequently, the budgie may respond to the name.

Can I change my budgie's name?

In general, you can always change the name. Too frequent changes or name changes in older birds are not advisable.

Can my budgie say his own name?

In principle, budgerigars are among the birds with the gift of language. However, you will only find out over time whether your copy speaks. To start, try doing speech exercises with the bird every morning and evening. If he wants to speak, the first successes will appear after a few months.
