Parakeet learning to go through a hoop

Starring Euclid. This is when Euclid was learning to go through a hoop. First, I let him touch the hoop and just check it out so as not to be nervous about it. Then I praise him for interacting with the hoop. When he sticks his head through, he gets not only praise, but a treat. Soon, he goes all the way through the hoop several times in a row.

do budgies scream when you leave the room??

[Ichijojichan]

@ThePonkTube Mine never did. Budgies are the only parakeet or parrot I would recommend for someone who has never owned a bird, or who lives in a small apartment, or who has roommates or housemates, or who has a busy life style, or who may be annoyed by screaming or loud singing at certain times.

My budgie, Bibi, chirped and sang quietly, but did so nearly all the time.

thats so cool

how did you train him/her

so that he wouldnt fly away when he/she is

outside the cage?

[Ichijojichan]

He had his wings clipped when I bought him. He could still fly a bit though. A couple of times I took him outside on my shoulder and he flew/glided to the ground a good 20' away when he got startled. Inside, he liked to stay near me. In fact, he'd scream his little head off if I went into another room. That's something to think about if you are considering buying a parrot.

What are you giving him for treats! What a smart bird!

[Ichijojichan]

Seeds and gram cracker crumbs are what he likes for treats. His normal food is pellets and veggies.

Lol there's a cat down on the floor that is just waiting to kill that bird.

I saw it's head a couple of times

[MrFrank821]

@mathiasdrobek no but if you clip both then he/she would be able to fly

[mathiasdrobek]

Can your budgie fly when he/her wings are clipped? plss tell me dude

[Sarukun770]

wat a very unique and smart parakeet

[ParakeetLuver09]

yea it is.because parakeets have long tails and parrots have short tails so it IS a parakeet.

[timoxomit]

It's a quaker parakeet, it's not the usual one, but it's still a parakeet...
