Should I clip my budgies wings?

Alot of people disagree to clipping their budgies wings. Then alot of other people want their budgies wings to be clipped. Then the people who disagree think that their budgie will crash into the floor without their wings.

They don't really crash into the floor! They glide down on the floor. We clipped our budgies wings because I have a dog and a 2 yr old lil sister. If Ryan (my lil sister) was bigger we wouldn't clip Tiger and Buddy's wings. We would let them fly as much as they wanted to. My dog is fine to take care of when we have Buddy and Tiger out. You can see my dog (Bailey) in the part "About Me",and you can see that she is not that big.

Whatever you choose, If you want to clip their wings or not. But if you have a 2 year lil sister or a lil brother your vet or you may have to clip their wings for safety reasons. Or whatever you choose!

The difference between English Budgies and Parakeets

In this picture it shows how different English Budgies and Parakeet are. The taller
and more bigger one is a
English Budgie. The smaller
one is a Parakeet.
English Budgies can live 5-10
years.Parakeets can live up to 20 years! Alot of people say
that their English Budgie lived longer than 5 to 10 years. That would be amazing if my English Budgies lived that long!
American Parakeets chirp alot every day and they are very active! English Budgies are mellow and calm,they chip occasionally every day. Male English Budgies can learn to talk very easily than Parakeets. I think that budgies or parakeets are great beginning birds If you are going to be a first time owner of a bird. If you are wondering,how can you tell between a Male or Female Budgie? A female has a brown cere (the cere is above the beak) And a male has a blue cere. So the English Budgie in the picture is a male.
