This is soooo helpful. I hope you have a bunch of these videos! Thank you! I feel bad for all of the people who go out and buy budgies for their kids only to find out that it can literally take months for them to adjust to their new surroundings and grow to love them. It's not always that easy. I imagine that, often times, the birds get left in the cage and ignored because people get discouraged.
I rescued a budgie last weekend. Found it abandoned and couldn't bear to leave it by itself. Took it home, knew nothing about birds until then. Bought a nice big cage for it with seeds, a big branch, and a mirrored tub. Lots of learning for me to do.
Oh my goodness, how cute is she?! I'm going through this with a bird I rescued 7 weeks ago. He's still pretty scared of me, sigh. I'm hoping to learn a few pointers by someone like you who knows what they're doing. He's the second budgie I've had in a year. It took my first bird 5 whole months to even chirp or play, etc. I worked hard to tame him. He was from a pet store and came clipped. He finally came around and became a great little talker. Now, I'm starting all over with this bird. I've been trying to find his owner, but in all 7 weeks, I have found no one who is even looking for him. I just pray it's not going to take 5 months with this little guy too. I don't think he's used to being in a cage. He hates being in the cage and finds any way he can to escape, hence the reason that I am calling him Houdini for now.
I’m looking to get my third budgie soon! My current two get along well except for a few food related squabbles so I’m excited to introduce them to a new friend, stopping at 3 tho as even tho I have a massive flight cage I don’t want to over do it, great video!
This worked great! I got my budgie and he hadn’t moved at all in 24 hours. I followed your video and I actually got him to eat millet from me and he started looking around the cage, even climbed a bit after I had already taken my hand out of the cage. I was kinda worried something was wrong.
@@Lowkey_kimsthey think it’s another bird and will get very hormonal and might regurgitate to the mirror to feed their ‘mate’ but get frustrated when they can’t feed or mate with their mate, they will turn very aggressive and will bite more often.
yes that's a hallmark of budgie and other parrot's behavior. they will call and respond to others of their species and begin to merge their calls over time with their flock as well.
@@TheBudgieAcademyI just brought home my new budgie & the sound of your new bird was also making mine chirp, but I put on budgie sounds and they would not respond.
Got my 3rd budgie yesterday and tamed him as soon as I brought him home. It took like 30 minutes. My second budgie I bought 2 months ago is somewhat tamed. My first budgie is not tamed and she is the same color as your yellow bird. Most of the time, she backs away. Not all the time. I just have them all in the same cage.
Such funny timing, I just rescued a budgie today! The first new member of my flock in 2 years! She looks similar to FitC but paler, and her cere is very overgrown so I'm not sure if it's scaly mites or hyperkeratosis
Idk if youll ever read this. But I found a budgie on the street a few days ago. I got him a smaller cage for like 3 days and felt bad. So now he has a flight cage. Im slowly learning I've never had a bird. So I should buy pellet and not just a seed mix? I've had him for a week now. He flies in his cage but is still very skittish, which is understandable since he doesn't really know us yet. I just want to do what's best for him. He likes it when I talk to him, sing and he likes listening to music. I'm thinking about getting a 2nd one so that he isn't alone. Just doing research because not sure how to proceed.
When you offer them the millet, do they already have their normal food inside their cage? Or do you take their food bowl out then offer them the millet?
I have a question,when do I get my bird its new bird exam bc im confused if its supposed to be adjusting how do I do that do I do it after after I've bonded with it also this would be my first bird so would it still be necessary
Hi I have this two beautiful budgies for over a month, they can eat from my hand but that’s as far as it goes every time I put my hand in the fly to the back of the cage. I don’t know what else I can do I try millet but they often won’t take it. What am I doing wrong?
@@kruxfc9796 since my first comment not too bad she just don't like hands she flying all over the place right now so that's good she gets on my shoulders every now and then she'll eat from my fingers but she definitely don't like my hands so I haven't been able to pick her up or rub her or anything like that
My 19-year-old cockatiel passed away recently unfortunately... but she loved anything that was stringy and she loved bells because she wanted to put her whole head inside of the bell. Why was that stringy toy not safe for the parakeet? 😊
The captions you put on the screen aren’t there long enough to read. Granted, I’m not a fast reader. But it was incredibly frustrating watching this video and attempting to read your subtitle boxes and they flash off the screen before I’m even half way through reading them. I hope you can take this as constructive criticism and on subsequent videos you will leave them up for way longer. Thank you!
A bit extreme with the isolation and washing of hands. Come on don't purchase birds. They should be free she is pissed and wants out of that cage. Boring
First this bird came from a (I believe) neglectful environment, in which the bird could have gained sickness from the neglect so if she got the germs on her hand it could spread to her other birds. Second, This bird (after a few days) is showing signs of excitement and Budgie academy is going to give the bird a better cage with more toys, with the other birds. Third, These types of budgies are bred to be pets, if you put them in the wild, basically a death sentence
@@Venus_eatsBlueCheese they should have never been bred for that in the first place. Man does all kinds of evil to make money. This and the creation of Christmas is a perfect example. So there is absolutely no justification.

Aww ❤ how’s it been going ??
Blessings to you. God rewards all good things we do.
Precious.
I’m bringing in a new one soon.
Hopefully he had something he liked, so I could bond.
Just got 2 new budgies.. as I was watching your video your bird was chirping in the back .. my birds started chirping back 😂 10:21
Same
I LOVE your yt and tik tok! You explain everything so well, I’ll definitely be re-watching lots of your videos soon, as I’m getting two more budgies!
My budgie is of same color as that yellow budgie of yours I love her the most
Nice video! Keep up with the good work 🎉 I m getting my new budgie today in 2 hours and I m so excited ✨
Thank you for making this, it's very useful!
My Teddy looks exactly like your budgie, iv had him about 5 days. Im about to read him a story! Hope he likes suspense !!
I'm a new budgie owner and I'm so happy I found your channel!🤓

Timely cause someone at work might be giving me a budgie 😀
Budgies Parrot is my Best Favourite Pet Bird. 👌👌👍👍❤
Don't put mirror inside your bird's cage.
Why
@@Lowkey_kimsit’s not good for them look it up
@@Lowkey_kimsthey can get very hormonal

SHOULD I put in a mirror round outside my cage of my 2 gentlemen. Awesome video thank you!
I saw u on tick-tock I didn’t know u have yt
I offer the millet as whole only to untamed though. Tamed budgies get it piece by piece where you kindly rip apart individual parts of millet to them.
I swear my hands, wrists and arms are 10 times stronger after getting birds 😂
Yes bro, it’s that keeping your arm up for minutes to feed them/train them

We’ve been trying to train our Max with this but he always bites hard. How can we change his behavior
what do u recommend for bar space? im looking for a cage. im not sure if 15mm is too big?

I've had my bird a week and she absolutely will not let me feed her when I step on my finger constantly running from me
Whats that food you give her?
My new lovebird doesn’t seem to love millet, what else should I use for taming him?
Seeds
Fruits, they’re high in sugar but because of their high sugar contents, don’t give too much :)
I live in a small apartment. is that cage size big enough to keep a pudgie permanently.
No it's only temporary for quarantine
My budgie won't do nothing won't eat the millet constantly runs from me I'm getting nowhere with this bird
How has it been lately?
