How many birds do you own? ( if applicable ): None at the moment
How long have you had them?: N/a
What brings you to the bird chat?: Just for future reference, and i've also previously owned birds.
A bird shop has opened up several years ago, and my family is considering getting a budgie. My question is, at the shop they sell budges for roughly 30-40 AU dollars, however there is a small cage full of runt budgies that go for 10 dollars. I'd love to rescue a runt bird, but will it just have health problems later on? Is it better to get a normal bird? The runts do seem to be in good condition.
What do you mean by bird shop? Is it like a commercial pet store or is it owned by a reputable breeder?
