_In Australia there would be very few people who do not know what a Budgie is, yet apparently the reverse is true in the USA and some other countries so let me explain that "Budgie" is a common use colloquial term for "Budgerigar" in Australia whereas in USA the common colloquial term for a Budgerigar is "Parakeet".
So to every American who discovers this website, I apologize if you've been confused! I do understand! (In Australia, the word "parakeet" usually has a different meaning than "Budgerigar"!). So "Budgie Health" in Australia probably means the same as "Parakeet Health" in USA and "Diseases of Budgies" in Australia probably means the same as "Diseases of Parakeets" in USA!

This website, BudgieHealth.com will help you access important, very valuable and very helpful information about choosing and buying budgies, caring for budgies, recognising and treating diseases in budgies and much more. It is designed to be used in conjunction with other works of Dr Ross Perry such as his book "Caring for Birds with Love and Gratitude", various e-books and many teaching videos.

For the record: Your holistic vet and registered Bird Specialist Vet Dr Ross Perry started building this re-furbished website on Budgie Health on 6th Dec 2011 after moving from Sydney to Elanora on the Gold Coast so please understand it may be a few weeks before it is fully functional and update. On 7th Dec 2011 more (>7) pages and details were added.
As at 27th Dec 2011 most of the website is working well  Today I am adding metatags to help you find the information you need and want.
Www.budgiehealth.com became function early in January 2012.

    My currently preferred phone numbers are (612)66795770 and 0419693279 and my bird interest facebook page is www.facebook.com/DrRossPerryBirdVet. Access more on budgie health care and management here
