Adopt a Budgie in Toronto & the GTA
Small bird, huge personality — the perfect first parrot.
Budgies (budgerigars) are the most popular companion birds in the world for good reason: they're affectionate, surprisingly talkative, and happy in apartments. Many of the budgies rehomed through Bird Sitting Toronto come from loving GTA homes whose circumstances changed — which means they often arrive hand-tamed and socialized. A budgie does best with daily out-of-cage time, a varied diet beyond seed, and ideally a buddy or plenty of human interaction.

Limi
Budgie
Toronto, ON
Limi is a lovely budgie, approximately 1 year and 7 months old. We were told he is male when we purchased him from the pet store. He grew up alongside our family cat, and they have a very special relationship. They are comfortable around each other, and Limi even gently preens her fur with his beak! He is generally a quiet bird, although he sometimes enjoys singing more loudly for short periods. We are looking for a new loving home for Limi because we are moving to a smaller place and unfortunately won't have enough space to give him the comfortable environment he deserves. This is a difficult decision for us, and we hope to find someone who will care for him and give him a happy home.

Bingo and Ivy
Budgie
Richmond, BC
Ivy and bingo are bonded, Ivy is female and bingo is Male. Ivy is very curious and more brave, but she’s a biter. Bingo is more easily frightened but loves talking and music, they both love music and being sprayed with a warm spray bottle. Ivy likes bathing in a clean water dishes. Ivy is the boss in the cage, makes sure you have two food dishes at different ends of the cage, and the food is full because she’ll hog it if she can. Please reach out if you have any more questions. Everything is included, extra large cage, all toys and accessories and food / water dishes etc. I also gave more updated picture I can’t figure out how to add them.
Tipsy
Budgie
Mississauga, ON
Meet Tipsy, a sweet 6-year-old blue female budgie looking for her forever home! Tipsy is a gentle, sociable girl who is a little timid at first but quickly warms up, especially if you offer treats from your hand. Once she's comfortable, she is tame, never bites, and will happily step up. For her age, Tipsy is very active and loves her daily out-of-cage time, where she'll fly to your shoulder and chatter sweetly. Her cage is her safe place, and she comes with her complete setup, including the cage on a rolling stand with perches and toys. She would suit a calm, patient home that will give her time to settle in and enjoy her surroundings. Every interested adopter must submit an application before being considered. A rehoming fee applies.

Budgie adoption FAQs
Are budgies good for first-time bird owners?
Yes — budgies are widely considered the best first parrot. They're small, gentle, inexpensive to care for, and forgiving while you learn. They still need daily interaction, out-of-cage time, and a proper diet.
Can budgies learn to talk?
Absolutely — male budgies in particular can build vocabularies of dozens or even hundreds of words, though their voices are soft and fast. Talking is never guaranteed with any parrot.
Should I adopt one budgie or a pair?
If you're out of the house most of the day, a bonded pair keeps each other happy. If you want the strongest human bond and can give lots of daily attention, a single budgie will treat you as its flock.
