About

Hi, I’m Arthur.

The budgie keeper behind All About Budgies, sharing everything I have learned about these little Australian parakeets.

Budgies since I was 10

I have kept budgies, also known as parakeets, ever since I was 10 years old, and years later I still love these beautiful birds. One of the coolest things about my flock is that some of my budgies are descendants of my very first pair.

Budgies are not my only birds. I also keep cockatiels, lovebirds and zebra finches, plus a few betta fish.

I was born and raised in sunny California, where my flock and I still live today.

Why this blog exists

All About Budgies started as a YouTube channel in 2008. Between work and school I do not always have time to film and edit videos, so this blog lets me share what I have learned from wherever I am: care, diet, taming, breeding and everything in between.

Everything here comes from years of hands-on experience with my own flock. My goal is simple: to help you raise happy, healthy budgies.
