Can I return my budgies to Petco if I can't care for them anymore?

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

I love my two budgies to death, but I can’t take care of them as much as I wanted to. Is the option of taking them back to petco available? Where should I go? What should I do?

Most pet stores will not take pets back unless they were purchased very recently. Looking to see if you can rehome them though a local ad, or contacting a local animal shelter may be your best option. A local shelter may be able to get you into contact with a bird rescue that can take them and adopt them out to a new home for you.
