Q: I’d like to know what are the rules in keeping a budgie. Do we have to go through strata for permission?

A: The process of keeping pets in strata may vary from strata property to strata property. The first step is to review your by-laws and see if pets are allowed and if there is an approval process in place.

Also be aware of possible issues such as noise, which may disturb the peace of other neighbours who may lodge a complaint.
