New member — 4 budgies, 1 apartment, infinite joy

Hello BST community! I found this forum through the Bird Sitting Toronto website and I'm so glad I did.

I have four budgies: Pickle, Mustard, Relish, and Ketchup (yes, condiment themed — don't judge me). They share a large flight cage in my Annex apartment and the noise is... a lot. But I wouldn't trade it.

I've had budgies my whole life but only recently converted them fully to pellets and fresh food. Happy to share what worked for me if anyone's going through the transition!

Welcome! Pickle, Mustard, Relish, and Ketchup — honestly iconic naming. The condiment theme is perfect for a flock that probably adds flavour to your entire day.

A four-budgie flight cage in a Toronto apartment is ambitious and clearly a labour of love. The noise is real, but so is the joy of watching a healthy flock interact.

Please do share your pellet transition experience in the Diet & Nutrition section! That's one of the questions we get most often and real first-hand success stories are incredibly valuable for people who are struggling with seed-addicted birds. Welcome to the community!
