Do budgies need a perch?
A good wide-sized perch can go a long way in providing the budgie a comfortable spot to rest in comparison to traditional setups. Unfortunately, too many budgies get hurt with broken legs because they are not safe inside the cage. This is the last thing you are going to want as a bird owner.
Why is my Budgie’s temperature dropping?
A budgie’s temperature is going to start dropping because the body is going to be focused on healing the broken leg. This means you are going to have to keep the temperature inside the birdcage as stable as possible. Anything short of this is going to put a tremendous amount of stress on the budgie’s body causing it to fall ill.
