Budgerigars, known affectionately as budgies or parakeets, are among the most popular pet birds in the world. Intelligent, active, and highly social, they require far more than basic cage care to truly thrive. In Best Life for Pet Budgerigars, veterinary surgeon Dr Lance Jepson applies the principles of modern Animal Welfare Science to budgerigar husbandry, offering practical, evidence-based guidance on how to provide the highest standard of care. Covering housing, nutrition, health, behaviour, enrichment, and the welfare implications of common husbandry practices, this book helps owners move beyond minimum standards and towards giving their budgie its best life lived. Whether you are a first-time owner or an experienced keeper, this guide provides the knowledge needed to support the long-term health and wellbeing of your budgerigar.
