What age can budgies leave mum?

Budgies can typically leave their mother around 6 to 8 weeks of age. At this stage, they are usually weaned and able to eat solid food independently. However, it's important for them to stay with their parents or siblings a little longer for socialization and learning important behaviors. Ideally, allowing them to remain with their family until about 10 weeks can help ensure they are well-adjusted.
