Small bird, huge personality — the perfect first parrot.
A budgie is the easiest parrot to welcome into a Mississauga home — small, quiet enough for apartments and condos, and famously forgiving for first-time owners. Mississauga is one of our most active rehoming communities, so birds come from — and find homes in — Sauga constantly, with quick local meet-and-greets.
Whether there's a budgie listed in Mississauga today or you join the waitlist for the next one, adopting through Bird Sitting Toronto works the same way everywhere: apply online, chat with our AI screening assistant, and the BST team reviews every application personally. Birds across the GTA are usually only a short drive from Mississauga, so the right budgie doesn't have to be listed in your exact city to become yours.

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.
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.

Lulu is a sweet, gentle, and calm girl who enjoys a quiet pace, affection, and being spoken to softly. Pepper is her playful, energetic, and curious counterpart, always looking for his next adventure and bringing joy to the home. They are extremely attached, spend nearly all their time together, and rely on each other for comfort. They must be adopted as a pair. The ideal home would be with adopters who can provide plenty of attention, patience, and daily interaction. Previous bird experience is preferred, but dedicated newcomers willing to learn are encouraged to apply. This pair comes with a complete setup, including two cages, food, a travel carrier, a large bird bath, and many enrichment items to get you started.
