Budgies are simple to take care of but read these hints and instructions very carefully:
1. Give your budgie a safe and large enough cage.
2. Give your budgie plenty of fun toys. Replace the toys regularly so your budgie doesn't get bored. Leave your budgie's favorite toy inside.
3. Give your budgie check-ups at the vet at least once a month.
4. Feel your budgie's breastbone (or wishbone) everyday to make sure your budgie isn't fat. You cannot feel the breastbone if your budgie is fat.
5. Give your budgie high-quality food.
6. Replace your budgie's water EVERYDAY!
7. Clean your budgie's cage every week.
8. Have your budgie stay outside the cage WITH YOUR SUPERVISION!
9. Feel your budgie's food (or look) for seeds that have not been eaten or it will starve.
10. Enjoy the budgie!

Is it normal for budgies and cockatiels to share the same nest box and be in there at the same time?
It is not a good idea. If you provide a larger nesting box for the cockatiel and a small one for the budgie, there should be no problem. If the budgie has already claimed the larger nesting box as her own, you will never train her to leave, and will need to buy another large box for the cockatiel.
