Moss budgerigar
1. Living in a dark and humid environment for a long time, budgerigars are prone to get moss, which is difficult to cure after treatment. Even if cured, the recurrence rate will be extremely high. Generally, the dark places are mostly on the back of the breeder's house, and the back is mostly windless and sunny, especially in areas with long rainy season and frequent cloudy days. Suitable for breeders to raise some shade-loving plants, but not suitable for people or budgies and other pet birds.

2. In the past, it was advocated that qualified breeders regularly let budgerigars go out for activities, because budgerigars can be exposed to sunlight when they are active, which helps to inhibit the growth of mites and bacteria on their body surfaces, and also helps them to effectively absorb calcium and vitamins in food, which is helpful to their growth and physique. Most budgerigars raised in this way will not be sub-healthy unless they are congenitally deficient.

3. budgerigars that have been waiting for a long time in the dark have poor aesthetics and most of their feathers are incomplete. Birds' feathers are extremely precious to them. However, budgerigars that don't bask in the sun for a long time will greatly reduce the efficiency of their feathers to absorb nutrients, so their feathers often fall off quickly and grow slowly, which completes the phenomenon that some budgerigars sold in the market will have incomplete feathers, so many breeders don't have to worry too much about budgerigars whose feathers are just getting started.
