A. Let's think about this.....
Budgies (aka parakeets) are BIRDS, and not mammals. The feathers and lack of fur are a dead giveaway.
Mammals nurse their babies providing milk. Birds, not being mammals, don't.
Where and why would a bird of any type have access to milk in the wild? Seen any birds sucking on cows teats lately? (apologies to anyone who I just made spew coffee all over their monitor). Why is your friend giving her bird cows milk again?
Unless, your avian vet specifically tells you to feed your budgie milk, it's really a pretty dumb idea. It's far better to fed it a diet specifically formulated for it which resembles its wild one.
Besides water? That would be more fresh clean water. What else would they drink? Soda? Hard to open those damn aluminum cans with those little feet :).
