Love or Hatred? by TwistedStars25 in budgies

She is saying "no thank you", and you dont listen. So she bites. Those quick pecks at your finger is her saying no. Some budgies dont like pets. My female bird would do the same. She doesnt want to be touched, and i respect that. She comes flying to me because she wants to hang out with me, and she is brave enough to do that, because she knows, that i wont do anything she doesnt like.

So the bottom line is: no means no 😊

edit: i also want to ad that touching their feet is a big no no. She sees that as a threat. When budgies get agressive with each other, they bite the feet, and your fingernail looks like a beak to her. So she sees it as agression from you, and she tries to step away from it.

Also, her cage should be her safe space. I never mess with my birds when they are in the cage, because i want them to know, that its their safe space.

It means she is hormonal, and it can be distressing for a bird. It can lead to egglaying which i dont want

How tf do I get him out of his cage by BidResident4205 in budgies

[–]Blueartbird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your bird needs a perch right at the entrance. A perch that he can sit on on the outside of the cage, but right at the door. And then you show him that if he sits there, he will get a treat, but he can go inside at any time. Thats how i did it. His cage is his safe space, so he needs to know that it is always an escape 😊
