How many people reject budgies each year?

The exact number of people who reject budgies each year is difficult to quantify, as it varies greatly by region and individual circumstances. Many budgies are surrendered to shelters due to factors like changes in living situations, inability to care for them, or lack of time. Estimates suggest that thousands of budgies may be abandoned or given up annually, but reliable statistics are scarce. Efforts by rescue organizations aim to reduce these numbers through education and adoption initiatives.
