What kind of bird is this?

This is budgerigar. The breeding environment of budgerigar is very important, which affects the development, constitution and reproduction of budgerigar. Generally speaking, the culture environment is divided into cage culture and free-range culture.

Caging is to keep budgerigar in a cage, but there are many requirements for the size and specifications of the cage. Some cages are small, some are oversized, and some are assembled by themselves with iron nets, with different shapes and sizes. According to their seven years' breeding experience, I suggest you use 50*35*35 or 40*25*25 cages. If some friends don't want to breed, but just want to watch, then it is recommended to use beautiful and generous cages.

Free-range breeding means releasing budgies in a room or an oversized cage. Many farmers adopt the method of free-range breeding, which is beneficial to the flying of parrots and strengthening their physique, but it will bring inconvenience to bird management and make it impossible to observe some characteristics of parrots directly, such as some symptoms before getting sick. Therefore, it is recommended not to use too much space for free-range farming. The cage with the specification of 180* 120*200 can be used as a flying cage. When parrots are not breeding, they can fly in flying cages to enhance their physique.
