Budgie help!!!!!??

Question

im getting my first budgie in a weeks time... iv read up on them. does any1 have any good tips to train ect?? and what will i need?

Answer 1

Usually leave them to it for a week or 2 - and talk to them a lot!

But definetly leave them to get used to their new surroundings and of course, you.

Talk to them a lot though, and try not to have loud music on around them as it will scare them.

It also helps if you put a light cloth over the cage on a night to help them sleep - it keeps light out.

My grandad has bred budgies for like 20 - 30 years, teach them at a young age.

He used to teach them to knock pennies off the fireplace lol!

To do this, show them the penny and place it at there feed, maybe place a seed or two on top and they will eventually take more interest in it!

Good luck :-)

Answer 2

Are you getting it as a baby? If so you shouldn't have any problems training it. And it should be very friendly.

Here is some tips and a link about Parakeet care and Training

1. Parakeets Like Company

If you have a single bird, a mirror is practically a must. A lone parakeet will enjoy your company, but a mirror helps them feel less alone when you are not around. You can also buy bird stand-ins from pet stores to give your keet company, but that seems rather silly to me. Consider getting a second bird for ideal level of companionship for your parakeet. However, you may want to keep multiple birds separate when they are young so they will learn to bond with humans rather than just other birds.

2. Be Sure to Vary the Food

Plain old bird seed gets old fast. Pet stores and most supermarkets sell a range of birdie treats, from clip-on treat sticks to millet sprays to birdie biscuits. You can also give your birds small pieces of fruit as a special treat.

3. Parakeets Love Toys

Parakeets are playful creatures. And there are many toy options you can get for your bird, from rings to swings to bells and beads. Parakeets are drawn to shiny things, things that make noise, and objects they can move around with their beaks or feet. Just take care that any toy you give your parakeet does not have small parts which can come off and become a choking hazard. Don't over-clutter the cage, either, but rotate through several different toys for variety.

4. Earn Their Trust

With parakeets, trust may take months to build. They will likely be very shy when you first bring them home, but their personalities will emerge within a few weeks. Build trust by placing your finger in front of your bird. Do this every day until it gets the courage to hop on. After a few days of this, try coaxing your bird by gently nudging your finger against its lower chest. With patience, you will build trust in this way. Do not worry if your bird is slow to trust you. Eventually it will be climbing all over you.
