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.

Living with a budgie
Budgies need daily out-of-cage time, a varied diet beyond plain seed, and either a buddy or plenty of human company to thrive.

Where can I adopt a budgie in Toronto?
Right here on the BST 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.
