[@fivestars4957]

My dream. I have a cocktail bird!💛

[@jamesdigriz5449]

I've had both and like both, BUT: (1) cockatiels produce A LOT of dander and some people are allergic to it. Budgies don't have dander. (2) cockatiels require A LOT of time. They are not as independent as budgies and need the owner to spend a lot of time with them. Whenever you go outside the room, your cockatiel would scream to have you come back. (3) cockatiels are 3 times larger than budgies, which means 3 times more poop, 3 times more mess, 3 times more food. I would clean my budgie's cage 1-2 times a week, but I have to clean my cockatiel's cage EVERY SINGLE DAY. Also, because of cockatiel's dander, I have to vacuum clean around the cage 2 times a day. I would recommend budgie to anyone, but cockatiel only to those who understand cockatiel challenges well.

[@rahulsardar1560]

Your points are right, I agree with you.

[@PinkCampfire]

Budgies definitely produce dander and they poop enough to have to clean their cage and perches daily, not twice a week.

I used to own budgies back when I was a boy, and found them both very difficult to tame. One was a green female budgie which had a very aggressive behaviour and would attack you if you tried to put food out. Where as my blue male budgie had a quiet personality, and was very shy of people

[@dexmeetsdexter]

If you want a budgie get only one, it will be easier for taming and companionship. But you need to have time for them otherwise they will get lonely. If you get two budgies it will be harder to tame and they won’t bond with you they will bond with each other since it’s their own kind. I suggest training the first budgie and then getting the second budgie so it’s more easier to tame.
