What are some trick to teach a budgie

Question

Soon I will be getting a budgie/parakeet whatever. One of the smaller ones. I know that the young ones are recommended. I'm already going to teach it how to talk & I'm going to buy it hand trained. I know hand trained birds are expensive but I know where you can get them 30$. Lala enough about that. What all can you teach them, and how. If you don't know how that's okay I will google it. Thank you!

Answer 1

There is good stuff on youtube.com about "talentful" budgies and parakeets.

My budgie begins to sing when I sing, and vibrates its wing when I tell him Bye bye going out of home, and I wave him good bye. It's really amazing. When I say bye and I don't intend to go out, he knows and he does not move his wings.

When I dance he has to come and perch on my shoulder and make happy voices.

Answer 2

Our budgie like to roll a pencil on the floor. If you pushed it to him he pushed it back, sort of like fetch. Most budgies like to push things so that is easy. My son had a remote control Jeep with a roll bar. Remo liked to sit on the roll bar and go for rides. Start out slow. We pushed the jeep at first and never went real fast or reckless with the bird on board. Have fun with your new bird.

Answer 3

parakeets and budgies dont talk

you need to do more reasearch on your bird, you dont even know what kind of bird it is

if its hand trained it knows pretty much all of it

Answer 4

Congratulations! I'm glad you're going to get a hand-trained bird, that's always the best way to go. :) Make sure you buy a care booklet too, or check one out from the library, they are truly indispensable!

I read once where someone trained their bird to ring a bell when someone was at the door. I don't remember what kind of parrot it was, but it's a simple enough trick, a budgie is certainly smart enough to learn it.

First, make sure you have a treat you can give to her as a reward; just giving her regular food is okay but it won't be much of a motivater if she has access to it all the time anyways. You may also want to have the bird and the bell out of the cage when you start to train her; this will prevent her from being distracted by other toys, her mirror, etc. If you need to you can set up a little training area on some spread-out newspapers on a table.

Whenever she rings the bell, immediately give her a treat. After a few times she'll realize that she gets a treat for ringing the bell. You'll probably notice that she'll ring the bell, and then watch you expectantly, knowing she's about to get a treat.

Once you have the bell = treat relationship established, you're sure she has it down, and have practiced it for a few days, then you can move on to step 2: teach her to "ring the bell" on command. You can say "ring the bell" and move your finger over to the bell, pointing downward at it. If she rings it, give her a treat. At this point you want to stop rewarding her for ringing the bell randomly, so she starts to understand that she needs to ring it when you tell her to.

That may take some time, but be patient and consistent and she should eventually learn it. Once she has it down and you've been practicing it for a while (think, about a week), then have someone stand outside the door while you practice, and have them either ring the doorbell or knock (whichever you want her to ring the bell for); tell her to ring the bell, and then give her the treat when she does.

Eventually she'll get to the point where when she hears the doorbell/knock, she'll ring the bell without waiting for you to tell her to ring it. Reward her immediately, perhaps a little more than you rewarded her for the previous steps; either with one and a half treats, or be extra enthusiastic with your verbal praise.

Once she has it down, you can put the bell in her cage. Think about keeping a little container with treats near her cage so you can reward her when she does a good job.

Note that it can take months to train a bird to do anything, depending on the bird in question; patience and consistency is the key.

Budgies are fun little birds. I love them. I have one myself right now, though Hermes is a bit shy. My first one, Sky, was the greatest bird ever though! And budgies CAN learn to talk, it takes a long time and they may not even do it and if they do, it may be unrecognizable. They will mimic things though. My one budgie CC used to meow, say hello and say my name as well as speak every single bird language except budgie! If she talked like a normal budgie, I'd be shocked. She always spoke in a different bird voice since we'd put her outside when it was nice out.

Budgies are very smart little birds and can be taught quite a few tricks. Always teach them a trick that they can preform doing normal everyday birdy things like climbing up a rope, flying to you and away from you, placing a toy somewhere, climbing a ladder, opening something or closing it. Simple things like that. Even waving can be taught.

For waving, teach the bird step up first. Once it knows that, put your finger near it and say step up. Once one foot leaves the ground, take your hand away and say wave then reward the bird. Keep doing this and wah-lah! Simple, yes? All tricks I mentioned can be taught like this. Trick training a bird is basically rewarding it for a natural behavor on demand.

Have fun with your budgie training and remember: always reward your bird for good things and NEVER punish a bird. No matter what.
