I got a new budgie 3 days ago and I also didn't get him as a baby. So I want him to play with something fun but I can't think of anything... What toys did u give your budgie and what can I do to make him play with them?
And another thing, my birds may be stressed? In the morning they usually race each other around the room, but then they would change, into a boring mood. I want them to be happier. They don't have many toys but im going to put more. Anything i should know?
maybe they need an afternoon nap ;-) I don't think they can have too much toys. The only thing is our budgie flies around and he throws his toys under the closets and makes one hell of a noise when we won't give it back to him lol
could you give me some tips on taming my budgie? i didnt get them as babies so its harder. i taught them the step up trick, but some times they just coose to fly away. in the morning there usually hiper. in the middle of the day is when they usually let me touch them.
I taught him everything with a plastic budgie - by letting the plastic budgie do the things I wanted the real one to do :) Given your feedback you should try to train them in the afternoon. It's more difficult because you got them later on + you have multiple budgies, 1 is easier... But hey, if you can touch them and they do the step up that's already something cool :)
@emmanuel12345 yeah, i have 3 in my house, and mine sits on my shoulder, flies to me when its lost, cheeps when i leave, when i open the cage it flies onto me, i only had it 2 days, ive spent nearly 20 hrs, wake at 8, play,sit,whatever till 9 or so. and he loves it. . :)
ilive in a apartment by myself and im thinking ov gettin a budgie .are they easy to train and do they make a good companion lol ive give up on women t the moment plz could you give me any tips thanks
lol. They're fun companion and demand a lot of attention (biting the paper if you're reading it, etc...)! If you only have 1, they're very easy to train. I put a plastic budgie in the same cage and let him show everything the real one should do first ;-) The problem is that you have to be at home a lot if you only have 1 because otherwise they become lonely and bored. If you have 2 it becomes more difficult to train them because they focus on each other instead of on humans.
i just have a little problem with my little baby! its seems like he's scared of going on the floor!! and when i try he starts flying all over the place and i have a hard time to catch him after!!
mine prefers the ground :) I suggest that you give him some time, also before trying to catch him... in the end he will become bored and fly to his cage himself. I never try to catch mine I just wait until this happens :)
OMG how did u get ur budgie to LOVE u so moch. that was soo cute, u just put ur handthere and it went 2 you. i have 2 chase my budgiess ( male and female )
that is so cute! im trying to make my budgie do stuff like that. whats this song, Icecream (my budgie hahaha) hasnt stopped chirping all the way thru!!!
err my budgie wont go any lower then 3/4 of a metre high. its only a baby and its probally natural instincs.i can use help all its got is a bird swing a bell and a mirror.seems ok with those but i need a bigger cage or create a play area for it when its flying freely
Well, mine flies freely in the living room, but that's not very clean so a bigger cage is the second best option I guess :D They do new stuff one step at a time so just wait a bit more and in no time you'll be thinking about the good times when he was still a good budgie lol
Got a cheeky, friendly and curios budgie named Neo - he can make all kinds of sounds that me and my boyfriend trained him in. He´s 5 yrs now - a lovely bird. Got a younger budgie too, 2 and a half yrs old. It´s a female, Trinity, took us a pretty long time to earn some trust from her. She bites a bit, but friendly, happy and curious as well. Love them!
It's quite obvious where you've got the names from ;-) It took us also some time to gain the trust of our budgie, but it was worth it! :D Good luck with yours!
Actually it´s not from the film Matrix from the beginning. The world "neon" in swedish means a bright, lightning colour as my little malebudgie got - he´s "neongrön" (bright, lightning green). But then my boyfriend had to name the female to Trinity - because of the film. Yeah, have had a lots of birds, since I was 4 yrs old, almost all of them have been very friendly and I´ve gain their trust. Our little female is a bit spunky, cheeky and got her own character and looks like a blue "furbee".
That's too cute. I had a budgie that played with a ball when I was a little kid. None of my current budgies do that - they just like to play with their mirrors and bells
at this moment, he's also less likely to play with his ball now... he has new toys that demand all his attention and the older ones get forgotten ;-) like with kids!
LOL, that's the first time I heard something like that. The Belgian government can't even control if people pay their taxes like they should, so I don't think they are interested in our birds ;-)
It's more difficult to tame budgies if you have several budgies! One budgie is easier because he's more 'fixated' on you... We bought a fake plastic budgie in a shop and we pretended to play with it and that the fake budgie liked it. The real budgie was very curious (like all budgies) and soon after that he overcome his fears and did whatever the fake one did (taking a bath, etc.). Maybe you could try that?
i have a budgie that same color. but he doesn't like coming out of his cage a lot. if i bring him out he gets nervous and hides somewher on the back of my shirt where i cant get him.
I would use the same tricks as people do with dogs: learn him to associate toys with fun things like food ;-) Reward him with food when he comes when you call him... Then do the same thing when you're holding the toys or when you're playing with the toys yourself. good luck!
my budgie is about 4-5 months old and i have had him about 2 months and he is hand tamed he goes on my finger my shoulder and somtimes my head but he is scared of toys like little balls every time i put them near him he flys away he used to play with his mirror in his cage but doesnt any more he likes to stay in high places in my room like the cupboard or my curtain rail and never comes down unless he wants to go back in his cage please advise me on what i could do
Only one tip: love your budgie and give it a lot of attention (I always say this ;-)) I think the best way is that you should play with his toys and pretend you're having fun! When he gets curious enough, maybe he will come and play along... just show him you're having mad fun :)
my budgie gets very scared around new items and flys like mad, i wud cut its wings but i reckon its cruel, also my budgie bites not that hard but when it gets very cheesed off it duz a power bite which makes me bleed
Also when the new items are little and don't move around, like plastic toys? :) I'm not a fan of cutting wings myself: if he wants to fly away (in the house of course), let him fly away I say!
need is a very bad basis for love! but leaving philosophy aside, I'm sure they can be much fun without cuddling , just doing stupid things all the time ;-)
just one tip: love your budgie and give it a lot of attention :) I only have one, but most of the time my parents are there to take care of it... If you live alone and you aren't there most of the time, I would buy two instead... Best of luck with your new friend!
One fine summer day a gust of wind was enough to take our budgie away. Hours and hours of searching the neighbourhood and handing out flyers "lost budgie etc..." Far away from our home we heard a tweet. We looked up a tree to find our beloved PomPom looking down at us. We managed to get her down safe and sound.
Clip your budgie's wings. Not only because he can fly away but also because he can hurt himself in the house by flying into or onto something that can hurt him.
How can you do this? I have two budgies that I bought them one year ago, but they still afraid of other people and I can't touch them. How do you do it?
Well first of all, I'm not touching him, he's touching me, and that's a lot easier :) A budgie has a mind of his own (at least mine has), and you have to know when he wants to bothered and when not. The second thing is that it's way easier when you only have one budgie, because then he gets more attached to you instead of to the other budgie. Third of all, isn't it already an accomplishment that they are afraid of other people but not of you? :)
We always close outdoor windows & doors when he's flying around. I'm not willing to test if he would come back :) I think budgies should be able to fly around (at least in the house ;-)) so instead of clipping his wings it's up to the humans to be careful :)
The song is by a Belgian band: Novastar - When the lights go down on the broken hearted. You can find them on myspace, I would put the link here but it isn't possible to put links in comments anymore :)
I have a budgie, she likes to toss toys off of the top of her cage, she try's to lifts my finger up and drops it on the keys.She even does that with the mouse to make me click! Her best friend is a rabbit! She's down in the cage with her a lot.She likes to stay up at night and sleep in (if she dosent get enough sleep, she gets REALLY cranky)I love my Laura. She can even say words faintly ("get out tina" is what she says AKA: Tina's my litle sister) Budgies can be the best of birds.
Yes, it seems like all budgies get their kicks out of throwing all sort of things to the ground: food, toys, etc. Then you're supposed to pick them up all the time, so instead of you playing with them they're playing with you... If my budgie doesn't get enough darkness in the summer, he gets in his breeding mode or something like that so watch out :)
Oh I'v been there. She can be the grumpiest thing or if she wants attention you can't get rid of her. When she doesent feel good, she likes to cuddle under my chin or hair.
thanks, but your own seems cool too! Too bad I can't understand Turkish :) It's like budgies have their own language too, since the noises he imitates are way different than mine does...
thenks a lot my budgie is a real talker I wish you coul understand but he can say "how can I talk, its amazing" "I love you" "uff its too hot here" "what a lovely bird I am" and he can count to ten :P
you budgie is fantastic, iv just got 2 babies only had them 2 days, there not scared of my hand but they really dont wanna sit on my finger for long lets hope 1 day if i keep at it theyll hop on just like urs

Clip your budgie's wings. Not only because he can fly away but also because he can hurt himself in the house by flying into or onto something that can hurt him.

thanks for the tip, but I still think that they're happier when they can fly...

How can you do this? I have two budgies that I bought them one year ago, but they still afraid of other people and I can't touch them. How do you do it?

Well first of all, I'm not touching him, he's touching me, and that's a lot easier :) A budgie has a mind of his own (at least mine has), and you have to know when he wants to bothered and when not. The second thing is that it's way easier when you only have one budgie, because then he gets more attached to you instead of to the other budgie. Third of all, isn't it already an accomplishment that they are afraid of other people but not of you? :)

how'd you get him so well hand-trained...???
dryoustink12345 4 years ago
well, it's my only budgie so that makes it easier. That and some patience :) (we thought he was a retard at first but he turned out ok :D)

emmanuel12345 4 years ago
very cute, they really do have ADD, don't they. LOL does he ever run in the other direction?
ilonapet 4 years ago
good question! He does so if I give the ball a little push, but I have the impression he likes it less :) It's a little weirdo right?
emmanuel12345 4 years ago
cute, i saw him fly doesnt he escapes?, i liked the song, whats the name of the song?

We always close outdoor windows & doors when he's flying around. I'm not willing to test if he would come back :) I think budgies should be able to fly around (at least in the house ;-)) so instead of clipping his wings it's up to the humans to be careful :)
emmanuel12345 4 years ago
The song is by a Belgian band: Novastar - When the lights go down on the broken hearted. You can find them on myspace, I would put the link here but it isn't possible to put links in comments anymore :)

I have a budgie, she likes to toss toys off of the top of her cage, she try's to lifts my finger up and drops it on the keys.She even does that with the mouse to make me click! Her best friend is a rabbit! She's down in the cage with her a lot.She likes to stay up at night and sleep in (if she dosent get enough sleep, she gets REALLY cranky)I love my Laura. She can even say words faintly ("get out tina" is what she says AKA: Tina's my litle sister) Budgies can be the best of birds.

Yes, it seems like all budgies get their kicks out of throwing all sort of things to the ground: food, toys, etc. Then you're supposed to pick them up all the time, so instead of you playing with them they're playing with you... If my budgie doesn't get enough darkness in the summer, he gets in his breeding mode or something like that so watch out :)
emmanuel12345 4 years ago
Oh I'v been there. She can be the grumpiest thing or if she wants attention you can't get rid of her. When she doesent feel good, she likes to cuddle under my chin or hair.

When he doesn't get my attention, he bites my fingers or ears so you should feel lucky :D

ilaha77 4 years ago
it aren't really tricks I guess, most of the time he's running after the ball like a madman lol
emmanuel12345 4 years ago
