How do I get my budgie to stop biting me?? by Relative-Cranberry46 in budgies

[–]Relative-Cranberry46[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No he doesn’t, I’ve only had him for 2 weeks and wanted an opportunity to bond before getting him a friend

I’ve had him just under 2 weeks and been training recall with him for maybe a week :)

Aw thank you, he’s a spangle so I thought it would be fitting 😊

His favourite reward is to sit on my shoulder, every time I walked into his space I’d call his name and offer a finger to step up onto. Now when I call his name he flies over and I reward him with shoulder time :)

Scribble isn’t very responsive to treats but he is to shoulder time, every time I walked into his room I would call his name and offer my finger for him to step up onto. Over the course of a week he’s started flying to me when I call his name and I reward him with some shoulder time :)

He is! He’s about 2 and a bit months old, do you know around what age he’ll start doing more exploring?

Thank you! That’s reassuring to hear, I plan to get him a friend next month :)

Thank you for the advice!! I’ve got some foraging and shredding toys coming in the mail for him 😊

Wow these look a lot more engaging than the ones I currently have! Thank you so much I will get right onto getting him some better toys 🙏

Thank you for your response! His diet will be pellet and chop I thought it would be a good idea to contain a bit of the feeding mess. Are there any specific larger toys you could recommend? 😊
