Hi I'm Rafa from México. Yesterday I found a scared lonely budgie being chased by a cat. I don't know how but after several tries I could grab it. It really bit hard LOL but I knew that leaving it on the streets would be a death sentence. We let if fly inside our home while we went to PETCO to get a cage and proper food.
My daughter named her Lily (I think she´s a young female from what I read) and we´re looking forward to train her and love her...
May I ask how large the cage is that you purchased for her? Length/Width/Height.
It is best to give her a cage that is a minimum of 30" x 18" x 18".
