Adopt a Budgie in Toronto
Small bird, huge personality — the perfect first parrot.
A budgie is the easiest parrot to welcome into a Toronto home — small, quiet enough for apartments and condos, and famously forgiving for first-time owners. Bird Sitting Toronto is headquartered here, so Toronto adopters get the deepest bench of birds, the fastest meet-and-greets, and local boarding and sitting after adoption.
Whether there's a budgie listed in Toronto 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 Toronto, so the right budgie doesn't have to be listed in your exact city to become yours.

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.

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.

Where can I adopt a budgie in Toronto?
Right here on the BST Bird Rehoming Portal. We list budgies rehomed from real homes across Toronto and the GTA. If none are available in Toronto today, join the waitlist with "Budgie" as your preference and we'll email you the moment a local match comes up — most GTA birds are only a short drive away.
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.
