  • How I handle my first three days with a new budgie. My primary goal is to establish (1) they will be physically safe and can obtain food and water, (2) an understanding that interactions with me come in a predictable pattern, and (3) I am a provider of things they want and enjoy during our interactions!
    This is a series of how TritC became integrated into my home, all while balancing two more birds a full-time job, and my social media channels! Follow along to see how I take TritC from scared to confident and comfortable in this video series.

    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.

    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

      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.

    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.

    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.

  • @SheikSevenSage
    @SheikSevenSage Před 2 lety +1

    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?

    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.

    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?

      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
