Same she talks with them
Gimja same
Gimja same 😂😂 he does it every time I watch a video with a bird in it
I have two parakeets I got them yesterday and I loved them it’s a boy and girl
really helpful
it worked on my parakeets
I have one but I'm getting a blue and white one with black markings
I got one parakeet and I want to tame it but i have to take it back and forth between houses so how will I get it familiar with its surroundings?
My parentes are divorsed and i will get 2 birds soon at my mothers house. Can i still have the birds. I switch between mom and dad each week. Do u still think it'll work? I love birds and have always wanted one... :)
You should be fine as long as you interact with it in the right way. A bird has a very good memory and will definitely remember someone that's nice to them, even if your interactions with it are a week apart.
my sister has two and she is using these
Hi I had my 10 week old budgies for a week, and they are very scared of me, and I want to start taming. What should my first step me?
Please try this channels videos of taming small birds/parrots!
ua-cam.com/video/dWeoAsBdOFo/v-deo.html
can i put my hand in the cage and talk at the same time
how can I get my parents let me get one?
+Maya Claunch it certainly helps for you to do as much research about budgies and their care as you possibly can. If your parents understand that you know what you are getting into and that you are prepared, it might give them a reason to consider a budgie for you! Good luck :-).
ive had two parakeets for 6 months and every time i go near the cage they start to jump and get scared
Ugh I know right ! I also have 3 parakeets and they just get scared every time I get close
Same :( I've had mine for almost 2 years and they still get scared, I don't rlly scare them or anything, when I feed them and give them water the fly around the cage crazy and chirp a lot
Have there wings clipped and keep them separate. It's easier to tame one bird at a time
Same :(
Same But i have mine for 9
my parakeets we're talking to yours during this whole video haha
That's so sweet! I love it!
Same
😩 I can never get my parakeet to do this when I try and I feel so sad when it flys to the other side of the cage. It makes me feel so rejected. What can I do
Shady Lemurs same 😞😞
Shady Lemurs same
Same.
I know i am late, but it u still need info then here it is, my bird does that too but I know now that u just need to talk to your bird like read a book or something it is probably scared of ur hand so when u are reading the book or just talking put your hand on the bottom of the cage and do this about twice a day for 30min and if your bird becomes aggressive then put it's cage in a room that there is a lot of talking and action going around, don't let anybody else put their hand in the cage but you because it needs to be used to u before it gets overwhelms bye people it does not know. Hopefully this helped😃
Shady Lemurs
Me too :(
And then I feel stupid 😂😂
Great video! I finally had some time to sit and watch some youtube videos and I wanted to see yours! Nice to see you too! :)
+hordygurdy thank you very much. So glad that you enjoyed :-)! I really like your videos as well...you have very pretty birds and such a charming personality.
i love ur vids
My budgie: "oh hi mom! How are you?"
My cockatiel: "hey scratch my neck plz"
My jenday conure: "OMFG HIIII MOOOOOOOOOM I MISSED YOU SO FUCKING MUCHHHHHHH !!!"
Elise Laframboise hahahahahahahahaha no.
Kitty dog fan why not. Its actually funny. Can you stop with your negativity.
Kitty dog fan hahahahahahaha
Get a life
Hi can you please make a vid on how to play with your budgie outside the cage thanks
zoltan warner (see my comment below)
I might get 2 parakeets for my birthday in February
+shayne piro Yay, I am excited for you! Thanks for watching and commenting.
+shayne piro Hey, I just got two parakeets for my early birthday present! I just got them today. My birthday is on the 19th, and I was more than surprised to get them. o:
DONT!!!!
+MaryAnn Pilat-Rodriguez what?
+MaryAnn Pilat-Rodriguez why not they are super cute I have 3 and their going to have babys
I have been trying to tame my budgie since 1 year....nothing happend
😞😞😞
I am sorry it is taking long. I would start from the beginning with taming and be very gentle and patient. Also, spend time with your bird interacting, hand feeding, etc. so you can help strengthen the bond that you two share!
It just means that it got used to being no where near you. :)
Yazan al Ayoubi exactly
Tame them when they are baby 😊 so that he/she knows that you are his/her mother wahaha... I thing every 2 or 3 hours you should feed them
I tried to get it's trust but my pet parakeets are just looking at me . Me: say hi. My parakeets:👁👄👁. Me: plz say hi. Parakeets: craw
LOL. Keep working on it :-).
My budgie is weird, when it's in the cage it's really like angry and doesn't like my hand and tries to bite, but when I take it out of the cage it's really calm and lets me pet it, perches on my fingers and doesn't bite.
Gabriel Gatt same
Gabriel Gatt probably because Pareketes need to be played with
I know I am late but one of my friends has a bird that will bite if you put your in its cage, but if you let it out of its cage it will let pet it and eat toast out of his hand. Idk if this helps
@@pinksheep-hamiehamie2598 yea
my bird starts screaming when I turn on any faucet they can hear.
Thanks for these tips! I actually got to tame my birdie Nimbus after a month or so ^-^ It's been about 3 months since I got him, and I thought he might feel happier with another bird around him. So today, I got a new bird! He's in a separate cage right now, and I'm not sure how to go through with the taming process with this. Should I introduce them both first and have them together, then tame my second bird along the way? Or should I tame my second bird first and then have them together later?
sharon90 It worked well for me to introduce the birds first and then work with the second bird. Since my first bird (Siri) was already tame and trusted me, it made working with the second bird (Soma) a little easier. Soma would kind of follow what Siri was doing, so if, for instance, Siri ate from my hand, Soma would just follow along!
I've had my parakeet for 2 days and the Ive arady tought it to do a high 5 and to jump from hand to hand
A miracle bird 😉
Your budgies are so cute! Thanks for uploading! Now I know what to do when I get mine! :D

I JUST GOT 4 PARAKEETS TO DAY
Joseph Orr same but I only 2
I used to had 3 but 1 flew away outside about 4 years ago and now I only have 2 parakeets, their name is Sky (Blue Parakeet) and Choppy (Dark Yellow Parakeet) and The one who flew away was sun. (We named her Sun because she was bright yellow parakeet)
Dxddy Michelle omg i named my parakeet sky and she is a light blue. my brothers budgie is a brigher blue so he named his blue
Dxddy Michelle
OMG I HAVE A BLUE PARAKEET CALLED SKY!!
AND A BRIGHT YELLOW ONE CALLED SUN (but he sadly passed away)
Nice
Like your vids. Had several keets handled the same and each have their own personality! One died one day for no obvious reason. Another got the "slime" but recovered after $100 at the vet and "drops" (new ones are $23). My last one "Bob" - My beautiful powder blue lovey-dove - started laying eggs after about 2 years. ha! She would help me eat my breakfast (loved cheerios) - and dinners - broc and peas - even mashed potatoes! Finally she was even forming recognizable words.. One day spring cleaning (about 4 years) I took her cage up to my workshop to avoid any fumes. Up the steps and in the doorway I tripped.. the cage slipped.. and out went my baby. She never looked back even once. Swore - "never again".. until my two grand daughters twisted my leg a couple months ago. Say hello to "Gary & Ms Puff"! More interested in playing than socializing with us but after just a month starting to "dive-bomb" us on the couch and room to room, out in the kitchen - "looking for my wife and I". Both will come for "millet" now out of our hand on the cage or windo sill. It is their "kryptonite"! Hint: plaster joint paper roll is cheap and handy to line those window blinds! Replace with clean every few days and keep after them with a cleaning cloth. You'll quickly see their favorite hang-outs and easily make proper provisions. Put paper down with bits of scotch tape and replace as needed. NEVER just leave these gorgeous creatures "caged-up" or clip their wings! They LOVE to be free! Just be careful around any hidden "dangers"! (hot stove tops etc) If they won't leave a new room they just discovered.. take the cage there with the door open and periodically check back.. they WILL get hungry and thirsty and WILL eventually "go home". They love to fly and "feel free" - but they do love their cage even more! Above all - you must have the patience of the "Pope" sometimes! Never yell at them or lose your temper - just let them in the cage that day. It only takes a minute to undo a year's worth of training!
you should not put a mirror in your bird's cage because they will think it is another bird and will mess with their mental health and I need a video on how to gain your birds trust when they are out of the cage lol they need to get near me for me to put them back in lol
I've had my bird for a few months but I feel like I've scared him too much because I wasn't well informed...is it too late to get him to like me if he is already comfortable with himself? I also got him a mirror and he is now in love with himself...please help me
Samantha Calva No, it's not too late. Just be slow and patient in working with him. It will take some time to build trust again, but if he comes to realize you aren't something to be afraid of, he can bond with you.
Please NEVER put mirrors in your birds cage! It's terrible for them!!
Lol my birds heard yours and got excited also that's what my birds do I open the door and they immediately go flying away
I just got one and hes kinda mean I was like hey this is cool!!! grate tips and very help full!!!!
DOGYBLING thanks!!
My kids just got a parakeet and they are anxious to start interacting with their new friend. This video helped teach us to slow down and respect the bird's communication.
My little budgie freaked out when he heard your birds in the background of this video, haha..I've had him for 2 days now, and he easily lets me pet him and steps up, even though he wasn't handfed. I'm very lucky with him. Stay on my finger is a bit of a problem, though. Haha!
ModestMurkrow Well I hope your Budgie "freaked out" in a good way :)! It sounds like you are doing a great job of working with him so far! Thanks for the comment.
Hi Sophie. Any advice on how to make a cockatiel more comfortable with u and any tips on taming? If u don't mind, can u plz post a video on taming cockatiels? Thanks so much
Summer Alam Thanks so much for the request. I would love to help you with your Tiel, but I don't have that much experience with taming them (although I think the Budgie hand taming video would work very well for you also). My Tiel already came to me hand tame from a breeder (lucky me, right :)).
I've gotten through the week, but I'm finding it very difficult to do things that require me to open his cage like replacing the food or water or his seed stick without scaring the living daylights out of him or rattling the cage more than I meant to (I just replaced his litter and he got really startled, stayed puffed out for almost half an hour). If I can't get past the initial shock of "hey, Sasquatch here is gonna have to put his giant meathooks in my space every day, this is normal," how am I ever going to get him used to me enough to handle him?
Hi sophie. How long should u leave your parakeets to get used to their new home and environment? Thanks.
Summer Alam Hi Summer! It really depends on the individual bird. Sometimes, a few days are adequate, and other times it can take several weeks for the bird(s) to get truly comfortable. If you have them in a good environment (i.e. one where there aren't too many startling noises, intrusive pets, etc.) it shouldn't take very long!
get one and tell them later
or ask for your birthday
or even bring up how you should do amything fpr your children
+Corey Clark some very clever strategies there. Can't say I agree with them all, but I admire the cunning!
hi, I have a cockatiel and it's not eating any sort of fruits nor veggies even if I try hiding them under seeds he just pick around them
+Devontae Clarke Keep trying. Sometimes you just have to find a specific type that they like and present it the way they want. Kale is a favorite of both my budgies and tiel, so you might try giving a few big damp leaves of that!
When my parakeets trys to bite me I get scared what should i do and how do I get him not to bit when I try to get him to step up on my finger
The key is to make it a positive experience for your bird when it is asked to step up. I would hand feed him for some time, until he is really comfortable with you, and then work on teaching the step up. Incorporate millet into the training, so he gets a reward for stepping up. If he's comfortable with you and understands what you are asking him to do, then there should not be a large chance that he'll bite. However, do understand that sometimes, even with our best efforts, birds will still bite. Luckily, parakeets have small beaks compared to some of the larger parrots, so a bite is oftentimes not very severe. Just keep things positive and work on building a relationship with your bird. Also, don't force your bird to do something it is not comfortable doing. It is best to give them a choice and reward them when they make the choice we want them to make. Hope this helps!
When Small Parakeet will grow up it will become parrot ?
Parakeets are parrots
Action Man There are different kinds of parakeets. If you have a small parakeet, it is going to stay the same size
+The Parakeet Perch pls help is good to train a budgie in outside of house?
+eugene menza Typically, until you have at least taught step up, it's good to train budgies inside of their cage. Once you can get them to perch on your hand (which helps with returning them to the cage), then you can teach some behaviors outside of the cage in a secure room. Unless you are training outside free flight, which is risky. Anything ouside should be done while the bird is wearing a flight harness.
I got to 2 already laid some eggs
hi I have a raimboy lorikeet and its been three weeks and my bird runs away from me what can I do. can you help me pleace
gorkem bolat I am not that familiar with Lories, but a lot of the same principles that apply to Budgies should apply to them (when it comes to training). Have you watched my taming video? That might help you. The key is patience and finding something the bird loves and motivating it with that (without ever being forceful). There is a video here on UA-cam (Lorikeet Tricks) that shows a clicker trained Lorie, so they seem to do well with that type of training. I do have a clicker training video that could help you get started with that. You can use the clicker to train your bird to come to you initially and then even work in some tricks later on. Enjoy your bird...Lorikeets are some of the pretties parrots out there I think!
Thank you I will try that
I HAVE THE SAME COLOR PARAKEETS
my bird wont eat.its his first day home. should i be worried
Albert Mejia No, it does take them some time to get used to their surroundings! Just keep things calm and let your birdie acclimate and he/she will probably be munching on food soon. You can always give it a sprig of millet to encourage it.
One of my birds bang their heads when they hear your birds so I let it fly around when I watch your videos
finally a video of someone who knows what they are doing! really helped 😊
my parakeet is really grumpy when u put it hands near him he bites and it hurts and he doesn't stop but when u get him and of the cage he is really nice and hand friendly so what do u thing would be easy to get him nicer?
Are you putting your hand in the cage? Because that could mean he is protecting his teritory.
That would work
We have the same birds/ colors 🙌🏼
Lucky ass that yellow one is cute
Does it matter if your parakeet is male or female or how long you have had them? I have had a single female budgie for about a year or so and i have been desperately trying to tame her but she does not trust me. Sorry if this is a dumb question just need some insight!
+Jordan Gerling Since budgies have such varied personalities, I don't want to pinpoint certain behaviors to males/females (outside of males tending to talk more). I have a very high strung female that is not as trusting and then a very laid back female who is very trusting, and my male is more like the latter. The most important thing is to be patient and go through the taming process step by step. See my hand taming video, as it may help! Hand feed a lot and spend time with you budgie, even if it's just to talk to her.
Thanks you i recently got her tamed to eat millet while on my finger and i am working with her getting on my shoulder!! appreciate the help!! thanks!
I don't get it my birds have been scared of me since day one.
Same here
first STOP SAYING THE F WORD!!!!!!!!!!!!! >:( mine went on my finger on the first day.
I have 1 seven-month-old budgie/parakeet and his name is Max. I got him just recently but after he gets used to his new surroundings I will try this technic. Thanks!
Hey there Sophie :3
What do I do if its more than just one budgie .because they tend to follow one another . so if one is scared they all become frighten and back off please help /:
Vety De paz Thanks for the comment and very good question. You can actually use this to your advantage if you get at least one of the birds to trust you. Budgies can have very different personalities, so if you have one or more that are a little more confident, I would work on getting that bird (or those birds) interested in hand feeding over time (try giving them millet, as most parakeets love it). Then, hopefully, the other birds will become more friendly as well. The key is to be very patient and work gently, so you aren't frightening to the birds.
Thank you for replying (: hope it helps
Vety De paz My pleasure, and me too (:!
Hi Sophie,
I have a budgie who is around 6 months old I've been trying to get her to trust me for a while now, I've beem putting bird seeds of my hand to try and get her to eat off it but it hasn't been working, do you know. Why? I keep my hand completely still.
Please help! Thanks
april sawan It might be good for you to just get your bird used to your hand first, in case it is still wary of you. Also, when are you trying to feed? Birds can have a tendency to eat during certain parts of the day, and they also have rest periods where they would rather nap or just perch somewhere. Try feeding your bird when it is hungriest (morning and evening for mine). Lastly, if you can get some millet, that might be more tempting for you bird than regular seed. Good luck!
Thanks!
april sawan My pleasure!
How long for a cockatiels comfort?
It really can vary depending on a lot of factors. For instance, my cockatiel was hand fed and I got it as a baby, so it came to me tame. If your bird is older, has had minimal interaction with people, etc., it can take some time to get it used to handling. Cockatiels are usually pretty interested in being with people and getting attention, so hopefully it won't take you too long to form a bond!
thanks your a life savers
+cdub M3dlok Awesome! Thanks for watching :-).
I have 2 patakeets that i got and a week has passed so now im using alot of methods to trust me but they are still the same always scared of me i really need help
On the first week you should leave them alone and let them adjust they're in a completely different environment
Hi I want to ask a question. So I have this parakeet and ive gotten as far as she walks upon my finger but whenever I try to pet her she pecks me and squaks can anyone tell me why she's doing that?
It sounds like your bird is not fond of getting petted (many budgies have an aversion to that and there are a lot of factors that play into how easily a bird can be handled). It is sometimes easier to get birds to enjoy petting when they are relaxed. You might try petting in the cage at first when your bird is resting. Midday is often a good time. Also, keep interactions very positive, so that your bird thinks of your presence as a good thing!
The Parakeet Perch thanks I will indeed try that. Thanks for your help :)
The Parakeet Perch I've tried what you told me of course she scooted away but I've noticed something different..she regurgitated upon my finger and chirped does that mean she doesn't like being petted but still loves me?
I got my first ever budgerigar today(Monday 25th july 2022)
From breeder to home. It's a male, and frightened..but i thought about something i read online before getting a budgie which was...to just sit close to the cage and just talk to it.(make sure it has water n seeds too)
It was looking straight at me the whole 15 minutes and i noticed it's heart beat was low(normal/not panicking)
I was running out of things to say so just rambled anything i could think of.
The good thing that has come out of it so far is that i was being social to it(havent officially given it a name yet)
I'm going to do it again tomorrow.(longer social time frame)
Oh...and i did put my hand in for the perch imitation of the finger(for 2-3minutes) but didn't work... still in progress.
My budgie Winter
Me: HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII WINTER OMG UR SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO CUTE
Winter:oh umm hi did u need anything?...
Me: Hop on my finger Hop on you can do it
Winter: oh umm ok ill hop on this perch but umm u do this to much
Me: OMG OmG soooooooo cutte belly rub LOOOOOOOL
Winter: Ohh this perch is cool man it gives me free belly rubs :D
Me: (Kisses Winter) oh no not this weird look thing again i hate em :l oh well my owner is weird :l
amazing as always Iabsolutely love your advice can you make a video or do you have any tips regarding how to get your bird to play with toys and objects inside its cage i.e. going inside of their nest? or going inside their bathing tub? Or a "how to batg your budgie"
Thank you very much! I am very grateful for your comments. I will get a video up for you on how to get your birds interested. Until then, I would encourage you to show some interest in the toys (using your hand to play with them). If your Budgies are hand tame, they will probably show interest in what you are playing with and want to interact with it as well.
***** how can you tell that your bird is used to its cage and sorroundings? is it when they are playing with their toys? and how can you tell if your bird is interested with you talking to it?
Hi Great Video, when you put your hand near the bird how long do you think you should you should put it there, and bonas question if it's long then can you listen to anything, like a youtube video
We have 1 nice/smart/healthy male, & 1 weak/retarded/slow/skittish/jump (possibly inbred?) female. A year later & nothing has changed. The boy is as friendly as ever, the girl is terrified of anything that moves & isn't another bird. IDK wtf breeding conditions it came from, but she seems to b permanently anti-social.
My parakeet (Ocean) i taut her the step up trick and then i walk her over to her cage where her other friends(parakeets) are (i test), but when i raise my finger up to her belly she just scoots over to the opposite side where i placed my finger.HELP!
My 2 budgies are somewhat ok with my hand beong inside the cage. I hand feed them and they perch on my finger. I even allow them outside the cage. HOWEVER they still are sometimes afraid of me. Any suggestions?
Thks can I have some info i got some birds a month ago and they still won't interact with me
What do I do ?????
Parakeet Perch I have an important question: if I got a male adult budgie on a Saturday and let it stay inside the cage for a few days, and decide to take it out on a Monday. Will it get stressed out since it's only been in the cage for a little bit?
No that's the perfect amount
Had one over a year and it wouldn't "come around". Then it got sick and I tool it to our vet ($100). Gave drops that I had to just grab her to administer. She got better and finally got over her craziness. Eventually she was on my shoulder and climbing all over me every time I let her out. Loved to help me eat breakfast and dinner - mashed potatoes peas broccoli celery carrots - you name it. Spring cleaning one spring I was taking her cage to the garage workshop upstairs and stumbled. The cage hit and bottom popped off - away she went!
I just got four baby budgies their about 15 weeks old. I am their third home and I just hope they will learn to trust me. They seem happy now and starting to eat vegies, and sing, chirping.
I got my parakeet four days ago and I'm very impatient and I didn't know you had to gain trust so- I basically did everything your not supposed to, he's scared and still getting used to his surroundings. Advice please.
I bough one male parakeet yesterday and its being hard for him to adapt he's quiet and type scare ...what can I do to make him feel safe and tame..
MickGaming GTA V let him adapt for a couple of days (1 week) or (2 weeks) change its water everyday and clean its cage and everyday talk to the bird gently soon try hand feeding your bird.Once he is ready put ur hand in the cage but do not touch him for 1 week.when he is ready try to make him perch on ur finger (go on your finger) keep doing that everyday and then u can take him out the cage but do it gently.
MickGaming GTA V Your budgie looks same as mine!!
Tame them when they are baby 😊 so that he/she knows that you are his/her mother wahaha... I thing every 2 or 3 hours you should feed them (baby bird)
My bird was the same, he was very scared and quiet. He wouldn’t let me go near him, change food, do anything.. I was thinking of getting another bird.. So I did.. they’re a happy couple and I’m pretty sure my new bird taught him how to be around me.. they both let me change the food, hand feed them, they even let me go near them.
i have 2 baby paarakeets that need training. so thank you so much for this video i hope it works!!!!!!!!!!!! because they fly around alot when i am near the cage
I had a bird just like the white one, joyful, and chirped always when she heard people talking, but sadly, it died yesterday, it never trusted me, till it’s final hour, it approached my hand, and wanted me to scratch it, if I stopped or moved away, it came back, poor bird.
Rest In Peace,
Snowy
Can you help me? I seemed to have got a some-what aggressive budgie, Sky. When ever I millet to my other bird, (to try to get them out of the cage). Sky tries to snap at him, making him go somewhere else in the cage. Then, when I try to get she/he (It's gender is unknown) to step up, Sky just scurries away. Iv'e seen Sky step up and go very close to cage door before, but ever since I got her wings clipped she stopped stepping up.
Also, Sky gets very scared of things, more than other birds I'm pretty sure. I recently got them a natural wood playground, to maybe help them get out of the cage. I tried to introduce my budgies to it, first by slowly putting the ladder in their cage. Sky started to freak out and fly everywhere in the cage, making my other bird freak out as well. Sky even freaks out with things she/he has seen before, like bird toys.
I have two parakeets and I'm trying to teach them that it's ok to trust kids and myself but it's been hard because my kids are toddlers and don't understand that you can't Force them and need to be more patient with them . They fly away when you put hands in cage one is starting to be ok with holding him at times but not completely he still bites . I feel they get scared so they tend to fly away or bite so they're let go of. Amma try you're technic and try to show my daughter to be more patient with them. I just subscribed to you're channel, so I'll be looking out for you're bird videos more. Thanks for the tips.
Hi parakeet perch! I love your videos! :-) I have just got a budgie which has been in a very small cage before. She is Now used to me a bit. However when you try and show her your finger to train her she tries to bite me... What should I do? Thanks
Hi I just got my parakeets yesterday and they are really scared to me...I bought two parakeets, I guess they are both female. The green one named tinkerbell are SO SCARED TO ME and everytime i put my hand inside te cage, she's flying, climbing on the metal walls just to avoid me. I try to give some snacks to her but she ignored it and fly and she makes noise...what should i do? i was so bummed that i bought a budgie that don't like me..i knew it takes a lot of time but i feel hopeless.
The blue one, who is angel are pretty kind to me and she let me touch her for while.
Sometimes, she stand on finger but she fly again...I saw them eat they spray millet but i try to gave them fruits but they ignored it...i know that when you got your budgie's trust, you'll be able to take them out of the cage, let them eat fruits,play with them and teach them tricks.
I was a little bit sad..😭😳
I hope someday they will know me better and don't be afraid to me..i hope they trust me better. I knew it will just take a time...I do love pets...☺
Hi TPP! I would like to know how does a parakeet act when its feeling threatened or uncomfortable with my presence. And most of the time when i touch the cage my parakeet usualy bites my finger and dosen't let me per her and i don't know why.... Any ideas to solve this problem? Thank you for your time and for reading.
I got my budgiie about 9 days now. He's a tamed bird when I got him and sometimes he would perch or eat from my finger but the trust is still not there as sometimes he would runaway from my hand. He doesn't chirp a lot and he could perch still for long time, though he would play with his toy in his cage.. he likes his swing toy with bells very much, often found him perch in the round swing with bells. He would chirp along when I turn on the youtube of budgie chirping, like some of video, your budgie chirped, he would chirp, too. Do you think bird doesn't chirp much is unhappy or stressful?
IDK why I'm watching this, I don't have a bird.
Brb going out to buy a bird.
Hi Sophia we would like to get 2 budgies. is there anything I should ask for in particular when buying from the breeder? like 2 males rather than 2 hens? siblings etc? We had 2 budgies when I was a kid which was a hen and a younger male bird and they got along well. Thanks :)
My husband and I just recieved the blue budgergar parakeet as a 2yr anniversary gift from one of my friends who I grew up with most of my life and still keep in touch with. The purpose is to help deecrease my level of anxiety and dpression; because the landlord said I'm no longer allowed to feed the wild birds on my balcony. It came home with us on the 14th of June, and still acts like it is scared of us. Why is this? It is also still too young to know it's sex....so we don't know it's exact age. What does it take to earn it's trust?
Hi - my bird can step up onto my finger, but he flies around the cage first. Should I be trying to get him out of the cage to play yet, or should I still be just putting my hand in his cage? Based on your video, I think I'm going to let him get used to my hand first. Could you give some advice?
thank you!!
don't know if ive asked this before but I can touch the swing while my budgies are on it but when I try to touch the birds they run am I doing something wrong srry if ive asked before
hi, I have a cockatiel and it's not eating any sort of fruits nor veggies even if I try hiding them under seeds he just pick around
I recently got a yellow budgie who is still young (has full black iris). I got him "tamed" but not bonded. How do I get him to bond when I can't even get him to eat off of my hand?
This would've worked for me if my birds were young, but its a lot harder taming them when they're older! I have a question for you, my budgies will eat from me and step up when I have treats, but other than that, they don't want anything to do with me! Do you have any tips on how I could have them be a little bit more tame?
I have 2 dogs 5 cats and a loud train in the back of my house. My 3 parakeets I noticed are both female and I've had them since December they still hate me....
Talk to them everytime you feed them say hey buddy or good morning, evening, night. Randomly check on them. When you refill their water/food do so slowly and gently do it in front of them I show them love I pour them cold spring water from a water bottle in front of them I talk to them at the same time. Their smart their animals but not just animals their aware of everything I do. I try to give them my hand slowly and if their pupils get wide or they resist then I understand I back up and give them space its not a huge difference than with dogs I can gain any dogs trust its all about moving slowly gently and not to much eye contact with dogs though once a dog touches my hand with its nose or vice verse then I've made a friend its just a slower process with birds and you can't be afraid to be bitten that's another way to gain animals trust Anyways im sipping tea and chattery 😊
Dear Parakeet Perch, I have a budgie that is a year old and he used to be tame. I moved house and now he is afraid of my hand. I don't know how moving affected him being afraid of my hand. Should I bother taming him again because I don't know what to do.
I've been patient for 6 months and my parakeet is sill scared of me what do I do?
TYPHON AIRSOFT some birds have trust issues. However, having a bird for six months and not taming it is a major problem. Just try little by little to tame it, and patience is key.
Is it better for budgies to have another budgie companion because i dont have alot of free time on the weekdays, and will another bird companion help?
***** Yes. If you don't have much time to spend with your bird on a daily basis, then another bird is a great option!
thanks!
***** My pleasure!
hello, i just got my parakeet yesterday, this is my friend time owning one. She seems so sad, ill be getting another one today so she wont be so sad. Do you think she will be happy, having another bird around?
