I have a green budgie like that named Tweet and he Loves our Green Cheek Conure & our Blue Budgie so often there is a battle between budgies for affection.
this is so hilarious. this is like my indian ringneck and my budgie. Indi is crazy over the budgie. But budgie isn't so keen on him. But Indi tries to goom him where as budgie just attacks him and walks away!
i had an indian ringneck when i was a child. it would attack me everyday. i got tired of it and kicked it hard. i broke his wing and he would never bother me again.
Oh you were defending yourself from a little bird by kicking it, instead of leaving it alone in its cage? Smart thinking, kiddo. You must be quite the intellectual, calling a dead, processed and packaged piece of poultry and parrot the same thing.
that was sooo cute & funny... I wanna get a budgie for my ringneck too!! no, really I think he would get very jealous.. he's been the centre of attention for so long!!
your guys look the best of buddies though!! love it!
i know! im gonna get a ringneck, i wanna ask do they "attatch" to one person? and, i wouldnt, they can only be friends if you put hem together young...SOZ^^!!
Haha... looks like the green one keeps following the blue one and the blue one keeps askin Whatchu doing?! Like he's gettin annoyed that that little guy keeps riddin his ass! LOL! Cute!!!! Luv it!
if u don`t want your birds fly, then don"t have birds!!! simple! birds should fly! how can u take their freedom? just get a safe house and windows or don`t get any sad birds over there!
you wouldn`t clip your childs hands or feet to keep them safe . so, this is bullshit, what u talk!!!!!
Well the bird and you arent gonna have much fun if you cant tame the bird because it flys away. Clipping its wings is good the one time so you can tame it.
my birds are clipped. there is nothing wrong w/ clipping their wings. they are less likely to get to high places where they can get into trouble and i can't get them down. have you tried chasing after a bird that isn't clipped? not fun.
I clip my birds wings! I have ever since my beautiful splendid parakeet flew right out my window in the middle of January. I suppose it's much mor ehumane to risk them flying intot he snow to die, or onto the stove to get hurt, or any other place. My birds are clipped long, so that they can fly short distances through out our house, and they are provided with perches and gyms throughout the house. We are not cruel, we are responsible bird owners, and I think you shoudnt judge.

how come the small parrot is not flying because i used to have a lot of them they wouldnt even let u come near them they were so noisy and they never walked they used to fly its amazing that this parrot is not flying away ...
It's not strange that the bird isn't flying away! If they fly away from you then they are not used to you and maybe don't really like you. But if you are good with your birds and take care of them well, then they will take to you and let you hold them all the time. You probably just weren't the best bird owner with them.
you bought parent raised birds which are cheaper than hand raised birds, but parent raised birds are essentially wild, untamable, i learned the hard way too
The quickest way to fix this is to CLIP them! A bird is easy to train and domoesticate if it cant fly away from you. I adopted an abused ringneck with horrible feather quality that was essentially wild. The first thing you have to do is clip their flight feathers. After that, training is simple! My grey ringneck has been flighted ever since I trained him some typical parrot commands(step up, drop it, etc. He likes to sit with me at the computer and come steal food if I am eating in the kitchen.
Breaking bones?! No, it's clipping flight feathers. It doesn't matter how 'tame' or friendly your bird is, if it gets outside it will NOT come back. Birds are not slaves, they're companion animals. Feathers will grow back in two seasons, and after they are trained, it is a wonderful sight to see them get to fly around the house. Currently only one of my birds is clipped, and it's for his safety. The bird is mentally scarred from his previous owner who abused him horribly.
Birds are not toys. By clipping them you just use them instead of respecting their nature. It has nothing to do with doing it for their own safety, it's just for the owner who wants to have easy access to the bird ignoring the bird's needs totally.
Maybe you are the kind of person that would rather not adopt a bird in need? Because pet ownership is cruel? Instead you suggest releasing a bird into the wild to die or letting others adopt to care for them.
Instead of caring for the bird and showing it love, you judge others and take no action that actually makes a difference.
You're on the wrong trip. Got six birds. Two were kept in bad conditions and we adopted them. One of these two is ill and can't fly so we arranged everything to have a suitable place for the little one. Our third bird was brought to us after being found in the wild, the fourth was a partner for the third and the last two were bought from us from a shop where they had no place to fly.
It's common practice. Seriously, quit judging others for what they want to do with THEIR pets. icedthai is causing his/her bird(s) no harm.
You're pretty much saying wing clipping is wrong in and of itself. Well, would you say that me having to clip the wings of birds in the pet store I work at is wrong? You know, to avoid the bird escaping and flying up into the ceiling, possibly getting injured or severely stressed out, or flying out into the wild and probably dying? Great idea. :D
There may be areas where clipping is common practice, but that is not an argument. Burning witches has also been common practice. Should we start with it again? ;-)
And yes, I also think that especially when you work in a shop you should not clip the wings of the birds. They are having enough stress there. You should show the possible customers how to treat the birds good and not how to keep them as toys. Just because someone owns a bird does not mean he can do what he wants to!
If you are going to keep pets, you must make allowances, not everyone has an indoor aviary...
NOT clipping wings is VERY uncommon, if your bird has a chance to fly, out the window it will do so, and you will never see it again, depending on the climate, it will most likley die, unless its warm and their are other non-native flocks it "can" join...they often will kill new birds...
its like letting a cat or dog roam free in the city....their fate is not a happy one.
Omg, only bird torturers here around. Ok, I see, you only care for toys, not for birds. It is senseless to discuss with someone who does not care for his birds. Keeping a Ringneck and a budgie together is also just wrong for the birds. It is a pity that not every country is as far as switzerland where it is legally not allowed to keep birds like this. I wish more countries would care more for animal rights. If your only argument is that the bird might escape... how lame as excuse.
don't insult people who you don't even know. Torture? are you that ignorant? Birds form flocks with whoever is closest, including humans. you obviously have no clue about how feather clipping is done, go do your homework. IF you KEEP an animal THEN you take of it..its simple. Whether pets should be kept is a red herring. Switzerland that figures, heads in the sand, holier than thou...take a close look at just WHO is keeping money in YOUR banks??
"Birds form flocks with whoever is closest, including humans." <- That is the problem. They only do so if they are forced to. They normally only "from flocks" with other birds of their race. They are highly social animals and they need other birds. If you keep other birds away then they look for someone else, because they need to. If you want to make your bird happy, get him one of the opposite sex of the same race.
@MissZombie dude if it goes outside anyways it can survive find and place to live and eat with its wings clipped it will die so just let the bird free
@Davin286 Actually, birds can still fly when their wings are clipped, they just have to try harder. When pushed into a life or death situation, they will try harder so they can escape.
I think clipping a birds wings is wrong, no matter what, it simply CAN NOT fly away from danger, even if it is you! I "only" have three budgies and an IRN but ne of their wings have been clipped, they can fly just fine and i dont even want their wings tt be clipped because nothing, absolutely nothing is more beautiful than a bird flying, at least that's my opinion :)

Yeah, you're right, especially when you get them wild and over a year old. Worse is if the bird has an hyper-active gland, then, it will never calm down. Best to get them around 3-6 weeks old and play with them a lot, then they'll be tame and easy to handle from then on.
Typical OCD budgie, always wanting what he can't have LOL!!! Right now my bonded pair budgies love each other, UNLESS...Fiji, my parrotlet is in sight. Then One of my boys loves him more.
yay we're twins! lol can u hand hold ur bird? i cant yet! mines scared of me :( im using a cliker now and yes so i hope thatwrks bcause i didn t get apple (mine) as a baby and his previous owner was negkecting him :( but i looove hjim soooo much! but he desnt rly love me bak! :( any advice?
u have ringneck ?? if u have it i advise u 2 spend much time besides him & if u are scared wear a gloves and hold him 2 do for him some massage for his head then let him eat apple of your hands :)

You're on the wrong trip. Got six birds. Two were kept in bad conditions and we adopted them. One of these two is ill and can't fly so we arranged everything to have a suitable place for the little one. Our third bird was brought to us after being found in the wild, the fourth was a partner for the third and the last two were bought from us from a shop where they had no place to fly.
So, what about judging others? ;-)

It's common practice. Seriously, quit judging others for what they want to do with THEIR pets. icedthai is causing his/her bird(s) no harm.
You're pretty much saying wing clipping is wrong in and of itself. Well, would you say that me having to clip the wings of birds in the pet store I work at is wrong? You know, to avoid the bird escaping and flying up into the ceiling, possibly getting injured or severely stressed out, or flying out into the wild and probably dying? Great idea. :D

There may be areas where clipping is common practice, but that is not an argument. Burning witches has also been common practice. Should we start with it again? ;-)
And yes, I also think that especially when you work in a shop you should not clip the wings of the birds. They are having enough stress there. You should show the possible customers how to treat the birds good and not how to keep them as toys. Just because someone owns a bird does not mean he can do what he wants to!

If you are going to keep pets, you must make allowances, not everyone has an indoor aviary...
NOT clipping wings is VERY uncommon, if your bird has a chance to fly, out the window it will do so, and you will never see it again, depending on the climate, it will most likley die, unless its warm and their are other non-native flocks it "can" join...they often will kill new birds...
its like letting a cat or dog roam free in the city....their fate is not a happy one.

AMEN to that,sectionmaker!!I have had birds all my life-i now have a ringneck and an Eng
budgie,JUST like these two-tame as they are,if
they werent clipped and escaped,they'd have NO
clue how to return safely-instinct tells them to fly UP, not down, to safety. CLIP your bird if you truly care about him/her!!!And its
totally painless if done right!

Omg, only bird torturers here around. Ok, I see, you only care for toys, not for birds. It is senseless to discuss with someone who does not care for his birds. Keeping a Ringneck and a budgie together is also just wrong for the birds. It is a pity that not every country is as far as switzerland where it is legally not allowed to keep birds like this. I wish more countries would care more for animal rights. If your only argument is that the bird might escape... how lame as excuse.

don't insult people who you don't even know. Torture? are you that ignorant? Birds form flocks with whoever is closest, including humans. you obviously have no clue about how feather clipping is done, go do your homework. IF you KEEP an animal THEN you take of it..its simple. Whether pets should be kept is a red herring. Switzerland that figures, heads in the sand, holier than thou...take a close look at just WHO is keeping money in YOUR banks??

"Birds form flocks with whoever is closest, including humans." <- That is the problem. They only do so if they are forced to. They normally only "from flocks" with other birds of their race. They are highly social animals and they need other birds. If you keep other birds away then they look for someone else, because they need to. If you want to make your bird happy, get him one of the opposite sex of the same race.

@MissZombie dude if it goes outside anyways it can survive find and place to live and eat with its wings clipped it will die so just let the bird free

@Davin286 Actually, birds can still fly when their wings are clipped, they just have to try harder. When pushed into a life or death situation, they will try harder so they can escape.

@SYSCHICN really i fought they can only fly as high as a chicken or glide good to know anyways thanks for the commment

I think clipping a birds wings is wrong, no matter what, it simply CAN NOT fly away from danger, even if it is you! I "only" have three budgies and an IRN but ne of their wings have been clipped, they can fly just fine and i dont even want their wings tt be clipped because nothing, absolutely nothing is more beautiful than a bird flying, at least that's my opinion :)

i clip my alexandrines wing but only 2cm so that when he tries to fly he goes down at an angle very slowly so at least he cant fly away.

Budgies are hard to tame
lankandjz 3 years ago 2
Yeah, you're right, especially when you get them wild and over a year old. Worse is if the bird has an hyper-active gland, then, it will never calm down. Best to get them around 3-6 weeks old and play with them a lot, then they'll be tame and easy to handle from then on.
