I just snap my fingers and they calm down quickly
Skills
I have 7 budgies, I ALWAYS make sure I have 1 extra food bowl to the number of budgies. They don’t fight over water so they share 1 double sided bowl. I put 3/4 Millet sprigs in between 7 budgies, but I make sure that the long sprigs can be reached from multiple levels. They still have minor disagreements on occasion, sometimes over who gets to preen who 🙄 😂 and if anything gets too loud I do shoo them off, but because I take a lot of measures there is never serious fights. All of them are very well bonded too, they are very much flock, although some are closer than others, I have 2 in particular that are best friends and will play and preen each other all day. It’s amazing to watch them interact with their own kind
I have 3 budgies in a huge cage but they still like to have a little argument with each other when I get close to them they start fighting to get on my finger to eat :/ Lol 😂
How did you train you budgies, I've watch all type of videos yet my budgies are still scared of me and its almost been a year since I have them
Okxy Yeluz It’s slow process and it’s very hard to get a budgies trust knowing that they’re smart. I say start little by little and make sure you don’t lose their trust because it’ll probably be awhile till’ you’ll have it back.
@@okxyyeluz8347 how ur budgies doing now?
@@denitzaayala5182 dead :(
@@denitzaayala5182 I had them at such a young age with no research I feel so bad
u have helped me a lot i thank u again
I am very happy to hear that. Thanks again for the request!
my budgies (2 females) are in a massive cage. yet my older one is constantly making angry noises (dolphin chattering) at the other one. they will sometimes bite each other but have never done any damage to each other.
my female budgie bambi will sometimes chase Thumper my male around the cage and if he lands somewhere, she will fly to where he is and bite him. but there are times when they will be talking to each other and they will feed and groom each other. do they like each other or not.
they live in a cage thats 6ft tall, 3ft wide and 2ft deep.
That look just like my parakeets! The yellow one is a deal, named Peep, and the white one has green spots on his back is male, and is named Oops.
Sometimes a budgie will attack another that it recognizes as being unwell. A seriously homicidal attack, and a real trauma for me.
Really good
what other ways can we do beside separating cages
1:09 My white budgie tends to do that nearly-poking gesture at the other budgie to get her to move over, even when there's plenty of space or other strategies.
thank you very much i will try to do this way
You're welcome. Best of luck!
it's helpful thank you
Great! Thank you for watching and leaving a comment!
hi i just got two budgies two months in one cage male and female they seem to fight and pick at each others feet and feathers what should i do should they not be in the same cage but if so i was hoping they would breed when they are ready?
One of my budgies pinned my other budgie down to the floor and would not let her go thanks this helped
Oh wow, that's some budgie drama! Glad the video was helpful to you. Thanks so much for watching!
So I have two male parakeet no other birds and lots of space but I wanted to know if it’s common if they bite feet but not aggressively just very slow and the bird does not care is that normal
My male budgie is molting and I think he's just a bit aggitated
What is molting
Alex B when they renew their feathers
I have 3 budgies .2 of them are like best friends but when my oldest comes in he starts to chase down and follow , hurting my yellow one ... bit sometimes he is nice is it cs he's just Naturaly an aggressive bird,???
Same things happening with me and I don’t know what to do my oldest keeps attacking the new ones
my budgies get aggressive over toys. so i got them both the same toys so they dont get jealous. My oldest attacks my youngest. i think if i just let the baby get older she’ll teach the oldest whos boss! Its like siblings. Theyll end up getting along in the end
U might have two girls or two boys which is y
Can i get help? My old budgie is picking on the new budgie i got who is younger. Today the older one bit the claw on younger one till blood got drawn out!
I really don't know if my budgies are fighting or not. I have 2 male. The cage is very big but they're always together and kiss each other? I know they're not kissing but I forgot the word lmao. Basically they get along very well. but once in a while they kinda push each other with their heads? Not hard tho. Does that mean they play with each other or do they fight?
They sometimes do fight when I have food in my hand because they don't wanna share but it's not that serious.
Um I have a question what does it mean if one budgie steps on the other is that fighting? Because the male keeps doing that to the female and I'm guessing the female that I have is a baby she's very small but if anyone answers this thank for the help!
What can I do I don’t even have money for another cage I have three parakeets and one of them loves to pick in the other ones all the time and she won’t let the others on the top perch or come eat with each other is there any alternative thing I can do
i have three budgies, two females Georgia and Ocean who i've had for years and are literally inseparable, i just got a new male budgie i've had for about 2 months yet whenever Georgia goes near ocean my male bird(snow) attacks georgia, i've tried moving Georgia but then ocean becomes distressed. we just sold the second cage so they're all together again. Do i move snow? i'm looking to continue taming him as well but he won't leave ocean alone even when she tries to fly away
I have 4 birds and the same cage as you and they have lots of toys, perches, food, water, treats but one time Gidget and Tweet were fighting and Tweet had his foot on Gidget chest and biting his face and Gidget was biting back, then, 10 seconds later they were preening each other. Why did they do that?
i have 2 parakeets , 4 boxes for food, 1 box for water and female is always beating up male and he is just running away from her and dodging her but when i take out 1 bird out cage the other one is always wooried about other one so the communicate with loud noises until i get them one near the other. I think they are just playing.
My parakeets have been fighting to the point where on of them was bleeding and had to be separated and medically cared for. The cage is huge and has the capacity to own several birds. But it was just these four birds in there. One of the birds began to pick on the little bird to the point that I separated it. I put it back in the cage after a while, but the same thing happened. I don’t know what to do!
They cannot live together. You must keep them in seperate cages if it escalates that badly.
What is he feeding sir and other one
Hi! i am planning on getting 2-4 budgies and i was just wondering what genders would work well in pairs or what genders to get that would work well in groups of three, and so on. just to make sure there isnt fighting or mating. thanks!
Good question! Per my Barron's PARAKEETS book (I have never been asked that so had to research it), males may go together better than females in multi-bird situations. I do know male and female pairs can bond and possibly treat another budgie as the "third wheel", so that is a consideration if you're getting three. All in all, though, budgies do have distinct personalities, so there is never a guarantee of how things will work until you put them together. I would say it might help if they are all housed together and you can watch them interact before buying them.
I have one pair of budgie ...after female laying eggs..they are fighting with each other in a deadly way..so how do I separate them??
i got a female baby parakeet 5 days ago and i got two adult male ones yesterday they are all in the same cage but on of the male ones always fights with my female one before she used to sit on my finger now she hates me any advice on what i should do? thx
I issue is I have a big cage but but when ever we try to shift them the mama and daddy bugdie mate with each other and give eggs
I have a big enough cage , plenty of toys, two water dishes and food bowls and they still fight here and there. Sometimes they get along but it depends on where the budgies want to sit and who wants to eat
I just got three budgies today. One of them, Sunny will follow the other two who are minding their own business, and mess with them until they get off the perch they are on. Should I be worried about this? Like you said, they work things out, but sometimes she can get fishy.
Omg I got three budgies and one of them is named Sunny just like yours! My other ones are named Maverick and Saber!!
Beki bekteshi What the heck! I have two birds and one of them is names Sunny, and the other is Thunder. So what can I do if Thunder always goes down to the food bowl but when Sunny is hungry she goes down but Thunder goes to her and scares her away from the food and goes down to eat it for himself.
my every female bugie fight and i have 35 of them how can i manage so many seperate cages. is there any other solution?
My birds dont hurt each other they like to push each other off the perch is that normal?
My budgies just finished molting and they’ve gotten into smol little arguments since that.
I have three budgies, 2 female 1 male. My female budgie just about killed the second female budgie. She took her eye out. They used to get along great for months but now it seems like the youngest is determined to kill the oldest. What could have sparked such aggression. I have a huge cage and they each have their own food trays and toys. Other than keeping them apart what can I do to help them get along? PLEASE HELP!!
I need help...
I have 2 Budgie's they have 2 baby Budgie's but today the female started to fight with the male and now the male is scared to eat ...etc can you please help me
My budgies are fighting really badly o.o. Today my bird ( Ricoh) bit Rocky’s tail and yanked him down to the floor, and earlier on today Ricoh bit his head with his beak and dragged him across the cage- idk what to do!!
This has been very helpful thank u ,but my parakeets fight aggressively and I'm afraid sth might happen to the female as she's pregnant however she starts the fight and makes the male shout out as if he's crying from pain .
Plz tell me what to do..
Same with my pair
thanks i was wondering if my budgies were fighting or not but from this vid i think that they are okay but if they do end up fighting like plucking feathers what should i do?
Ammar Iqbal If it gets to the point where they are getting injured, it is best to put them in separate cages.
***** thanks for the advice i think they were just getting used to their new home because i bought them a few days ago and they have stopped with the fighting now
Ammar Iqbal Oh good! I am happy to hear that.
I just got a new budgie and she is just a baby. I also have a older budgie that I have had for almost a year. I have only had the baby her one day and my older budgie will NOT leave her alone. She preens her and tries to give her kisses but the baby budgie doesn’t like that at all. When the baby tries to move the older budgie follows wherever she goes. Keep in mind this is a pretty big cage. The largest in the store to be exact.
I have the same cage with four budgies and they have lots of food and water and I have multiple treats but they fight a lot. I also give them attention. Once Tweety put his foot on Gidget's chest and they were pecking eacothers faces. The next minute they were preening each other. Why is that?
Rain The Budgie mine do that too. And we have one we named Gidget too!
Our blue one fights with Gidget all the time. It lasts about 1-2 minutes. He tries to groom her, but then she squawks at him while running away. This goes on for another minute or so after the fight before they settle down and s me to be all lovey dovey with each other.
My male n femal budgie partners are fighting often as their babies are growing.... The female doesn't let the male partner feed the babies anymore .... And few days ago the female bit the males wing ... N today the female bit off the males beak ... What should i do ??? Please help
my sister budgie bit's her and my budgie bit's her budgie then they get in a fight and my sister budgie jumps on my budgie then he falls
I have 2 parakeets they fight and act like they like each other then fight again plus they are always talking. I have a cage a little bigger then yours and they are almost always together. And if there aren't any rooms where the parakeets can't hide or can't get hurt is the bathroom an option?
Hmmm, keeping a Budgie in the bathroom is an interesting question. I would be cautious about it, simply because Budgies are very sensitive to fumes, so if there are chemicals being used in there (such as hairspray, cleaners, air fresheners, etc.), it could cause problems. Also, I am not sure if continual humidity would be good for them, since their ancestors are from a pretty dry environment. Finally, teflon fumes (produced at high heat) can be fatal to birds, so if anyone uses teflon coated hair appliances in the bathroom, it could be problematic.
My female budgie keeps biting my male budgie on the head, so I pretty much should just separate them in different cages? She bites him on the head and he starts to scream, Not sure how I should stop her. I usually just skoot her to one side and lightly tap her beak to stop it from reoccurring, but nothing seems to work so far.
Mike Ike - [NS]HR•Officer• make sure your cage is big enough also if this happens commonly on females there pretty bossy and territorial my older female Kira sometimes gets aggressive with the flock I have six budgies so you could pretty much imagine that they should have plenty of space to avoid each other.
This is common, females can be bullies to the boys, you’ll usually (hopefully) find that they’re not actually injuring each other, more asserting dominance. If anything gets too loud definitely shoo off the aggressor and reassure the boy. Make sure you have a big enough cage horizontally, not up and down, as budgies need more side room than vertical. Also if you have 2 budgies, put out 3 food bowls and spread them out around the cage. Hopefully this helps :) minor disagreements will always be had, kinda like us with our family, I love watching their little dramas and then making up 😂
The_Derpy Chinchilla definitely agree, my oldest female Diabla is the most dominant, she has bent a tail feather or 20 in her time👀 😂 she’s never injured any of her flock, she will only assert herself if they come for her “patch”. I’ve got 7 and only 1 of them is male so as you can imagine everyday there is a drama 🙄 😂 the cage size is so important, god forbid my cage was too small. I’m actually upgrading the size again just to make sure they’re getting enough exercise
hey can someone give me advice on what to do? i'm a bit late so an immediate reply is not expected c:
i've had two male lovebirds for a week. one is peach faced and the other is white and blue (i think the peach faced bird might be older, but they are both young). the peach faced bird has started pecking at the other bird and it's gotten to the point where their fighting includes flying around the cage. i've got only one big cage so i wouldn't be sure how to separate them. i haven't let them out of the cage yet and they are still scared of me. what should i do? should i give away one bird? they were both bought from a market and they were in the same cage. these are my first birds so i'm pretty inexperienced.
venus you should get another cage to separate asap. Sounds like they need females. You should either get 2 females, or swap one of your males for one. This won’t stop because of the species and lack of females. Also try and let them out the cage, that way they’ll have more room to really sort out who’s boss without being able to properly corner and hurt the other. Maybe by the end of that they’ll have made a mutual agreement 😂 also make sure you have 3 water dishes and 3 food dishes that are well spaced out, just to minimise resource guarding
Soma and Siri are such pretty names. ;w;
i have 4 budgies 1 is male and 3 are girls there always fighting and chirping loud like u can hear them early in the morning screaming it's really funny
Our cage is big enough, there are multiple water and food spots in there aswell.
But our male follows the female and attacks her. If she eats in spot 1 and he in spot 2, he stops eating, goes to spot 1, disturbs/attacks her and eats from spot 1. If she goes to spot 3, he follows again.
No idea what to do since they cuddle and groom each other
Yesterday he made the female bleed on her head. We dont want to give one away. Solutions?
I have two three months old budgies and the girl is very controlling, yesterday I putted a plate with lettuce and she doesn't let her brother to go near the plate even that there were enough lettuce, this never happened with the parents that I bought three years ago and get along really good. This situation is stressing me out. Their cage is big they have plenty of food and water.
So I have 2 budgies and there's this another one ( male) trying to make one of the 2 budgies their partner but the other who who was already it's partner is also not letting him. The female who the male is chasing is also willing to eat the food from male and be around him which makes the other one lonely. So they both fought yesterday (very seriously) and also today causing one of them to bleed 😭 pls I don't know how to stop them 😭
Mine always get along? And the always want to eat at the same time and sleep together
One of my budgies always gets picked on and the others rarely let him go near the feeders. I think it's time for me to bring him a new friend and a new cage.
So i got a pair yesterday, the female wants to be friends with the male but the male doesnt want to.
I shoud try these hacks
What do I do if my budgie literally starts bleeding from getting abused by my other two budgies and she started to pluck her tail feathers?
What sexes are your budgies? Females can get really agressive against each other
same situation
I have already done this all but my girl budgie is very badly fighting with male sometimes they will be very friendly but sometimes my male budgie got many scratches in eye nose legs Wt to do plz reply
Nandana Ram it is quite the same for me our female budgie constantly picks on the male budgie I wish if the male can stand up for himself
@@Danny-cu9ke but my male budgie my baby died
And in the video it says fighting is not ok when: bodily harm etc, that's the stuff my older one does to the younger on
Yes, it's definitely something you want to put an end to if a bird is getting continually harassed or harmed.
My female budgie just laid 8 more eggs! I know 4 are fertile so far. But my problem is mom picks on well fights with her own chick! The chick is about 2 mos old and is a female. What should i do and why is she doing this?
I'm seriously stressing about my budgies. they get on fine outside of their cage but when i put them together for the first time, my older budgie constantly has a go at the younger one and bites the back of her neck. so I took her out but as soon as I did that they start calling to each other. what do I do? let them fight and hope it doesn't get too serious
Make sure your cage is big enough. I had the same problem
My new parakeet keeps following my other budgie that I had for a long time. She follows him to eat. She gets in the way of him when he wants to eat is this aggressive behaviour my new parakeet still seems a little young
The same thing is happening to me. Is the situation better now? I house them in two separate cages, but when I let them out of the cage my youngest budgie goes to the other’s cage and doesn’t let him eat or interact with me.
I need help, I think both of my female parakeets are pregneat. We just sold our extra cage, and boom once we do that its fighting. My mom thinks its because they both are fighting over a nest foodbowl thing one of the females created to lay eggs in. I tried solving this by putting another food bowl nest thing up there. Hopefully it works. :)
Also, I have a giant cage for my birds, (99$ cage)
I treat them with honeycombs, millet, lettuce every week.
I give them 3 food bowls and 1 water bowl.
I have lots of toys, but what am I doing wrong? Eh, its probaly a prengnancy that the birds have or something.
If the birds are trying to lay, there definitely could be fighting over nesting space. It sounds like they have enough other resources, so that's great! I would add some additional fruits and vegetables to their diet because lettuce is pretty much devoid of any nutrition, although it's a fun snack. If your birds are laying eggs without a male, you can cut down on some of their desire by removing nesting areas and cutting down their light during the day (max 12 hours daily). Your birds also might simply get along once they get adjusted to the new environment!
Hi, I like your videos. Its so encouraging. I have 2 budgies. And they are now sweethearts. The problem is I cant tame the Timmy( blue) the yellow one is getting used to my hands. But if they are with each other, the yellow named Tweety also gets freak. So i have them separated. I put Timmy in a small cage to tame her. After some days I tamed her. But, If I bring her back to Tweety she will instantly ignore me. By the way, I have them just a few months now. How long it will take them to trust me? I spend almost of my day just to be with them.
What do I do if I have four budgies and my parents refuse to get a new cage and the budgie refuse to get out of their cage and fly around?
Have you tried coaxing them out with some treats, like millet? You might have some success putting some millet somewhere close to the cage opening, and waiting to see if your birds come out for it. Doing this at mealtimes would be best when your birds are hungry! Also, make sure that the environment where the birds will be flying is safe for them. If there's any perceived threat or concern, your birds will feel safer in the cage.
Only once have they been lured out of their cage.
My parents do take me a new cage what to do
I have same birds like urs
my budgie fights during feeding time and female always want to own the sticks
My budgies never bite but when I got them this new big cage and btw my budgies laid eggs too they kept fighting over it and I’m crying cause they are literally bleeding to death😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
My birds fought over a nesting cage
Where do I get this cage
Right here: amzn.to/3oDRN5j
Thanks so much
i buy a new pair of budgies male from different cage and female from different how much time they take to breed
My budgets fight over toys, but if one leaves the other follows them even tho the cage is big!
I have the same cage as yours with 4 budgies and I let them play on top and inside but they are always pecking if one comes near each other. What should I do. ( I can't afford another cage )
My green cheek FIGHTs my indian ringneck for no reason
can two females be in the same cage if one has eggs she laying on?
103Catherine no
thanks
I mean younger one
I had two parakeets that were breeding. The male got very aggressive with the female. Eventually I had to take him out of the cage. He picked her feathers, blood around head/eye. She looks really bad. I've never had this issue before.
Hi Julia. Wow, I am sorry that your male got so aggressive. I can't say I have heard about another pair that acted that way, but when hormones are raging, a Budgie's normal behavior can really be altered. Glad you decided to separate them...that sounds like it was the best plan of action. Hopefully the male calmed down a bit afterwards.
My budgie and my cousins budgie fight because my cousin’s budgie is being greeedy and wants all the food and water to himself
My budgies were fighting and one of them got her foot paralyzed from the injury😥
That's terrible, I'm very sorry to hear that.
I just got my second budgie today and my first one always pecks at the second one
I'm sorry to hear about that. Do you have a large cage so that both birds have enough space? You also might think about adding some purchase and maybe even a food bowl so that your birds don't have to fight over resources.
Sunshiba same lol (but I got my second budgie yesterday) and they are fighting sometimes (over food)
i just raise my hand up in the air
My 2 beautiful birds pull each other's feathers out, they both have ugly patches ;(
I have 3 budgies and one of them is always getting bulling
If it continues a lot you should separate their cages.
My birds just had a fight two females, I think I know the cause. You see their mother claimed one of my baskets in my room as a nesting box, I let her keep it cause why not, now the other two females have Been trying to find one just like hers and lucky for them I got another basket the oldest feamale claimed that one her little sister on the other hand didn’t have one they fought. I tried to separate them receiving many bites from them and the little one has a d injured wing caused by the oldest ones foot grasping it the oldest one has a minor scrape on her foot. It was a terrifying experience it almost made cry because I was worried about my babies
A good size Cage for 2-4 birds is 22" tall 26" long, 14" deep
Me who have a cage that is 168" tall 80"long 65" deep for just two budgies.
Bruh😑
Get more
@@Prawnz
Why more?
Get more budgies منال مزيّن
@@Prawnz
My parents wont let me buy more.
Me too!
My parents are too poor to buy a big cage
Ify
I kept them I 2 different big cage but they keep staring each other whole day like whole day don’t even feed their kids just stare in anger
You might have luck keeping part of their cage covered, like with a pillowcase or something like that so they can't see each other. If parents are feeding the babies, you also are able to jump in and help feed if necessary.
The Parrot Perch thank you
@@PriyankaMeena-uu7jc anytime
So I guess my birds are ready to breed.
Haah! I would rather better saying you that I have 21 parrakeets and out of them eight are male and eight are female and the remains are babies of them
I know it's late but please help. My budgies fight over who is getting their nighttime "kiss" first from me and I switch off between them and give them reasonable attention each. They then peck at each other even after the lights are of
If they are fighting in the cage, maybe you can take them out individually. Since budgies have different personalities, some may get along and some may not. I wouldn't worry about a small amount of pecking, but if they are hurting each other, you may want to think about separating them. Even putting them in a bigger cage, especially if they don't have a lot of room right now, can help. Keeping breeding conditions controlled is also useful (don't give them 12 hrs. or more of light/day, a nestbox, etc.).
The problem is is that they hate being heldn and don't let me
My bird killed other bird today I don't understand why they fight I gave enough treats love and even a big cage
Yea same here
My birds are fighting so bad that are bleeding
