I am a new user (apologies if I do something wrong) as well as a new bird caretaker. I recently decided to take care of my sibling's budgie as I felt quite bad for it (small cage, alone, hardly any interaction, etc.) and I feel that I am atleast slightly more responsible and caring in terms of animal care (I am older and am in general a pet person). However I am a fishkeeper and know more about fish than anything with wings. Any care tips, things to avoid etc.? More information: the budgie lives by itself in a pathetically small cage with some toys (it has recently been chewing on its perches as it doesn't have a cuttlebone, looking to get one). Additionally, is letting it fly freely in a room dangerous? I just don't want it kept in such a small cage.
Sorry if this is very long, but I appreciate any help! I been researching proper care.
