Baby budgie hand fed. Held every 2 days till coming home. Gentle and happy. Eventually moved to bay window and window butts up to bird feeder. Budgie would run around in cage and on top. Seemed to enjoy feathered friends. But then when i went to give kisses as usual, he bit me. Thinking maybe she was bonding with wild birds and not wanting me, i moved her to another room completely. She still bites when i say step up but i do then play with her when taking her out of cage. She is molting and now 4 months old. She Was so gentle. How do i get that? Should i put her back in bay window? Im thinking molting may have changed her?

Hello
I have had my budgie for only 9 days. He was hand reared and very cuddly and friendly when I brought him home and for the first 5 days. Then he hurt his toe doing acrobats one day in his cage. I didn’t realise this till after the fact as he appeared normal and was doing everything the same until I notice a black spot in one toe so took him to vet who said it was from a toe nail being pulled or caught. He was given anti biotics and a cleam bill of health.
Anyway he started biting quite aggressively 5 days ago. Only when I first get him out the cage. He likes being with me all the time and gets quite angry and has a little tantrum when put in. However the last 4 days he hasn’t been out as much due to my work. He is still out maybe 4 or 5 hours a day at different intervals. It seems he tells me off for leaving him locked up so long then after some bites and not happy with me he settles and then is cuddly.or friendly again.
I wasn’t sure if this behaviour is related to his sore toe or he is just annoyed with me for not spending as much time as he would like? I would have him out more but he insists on sitting on my typing hands or on the screen of tablet or phone so I can’t work even though I have set up various bird play grounds etc around the place.
I would love any suggestions on how to stop the biting without compromising my work or upsetting him more…
Thanks Ally

Please I am begging for help with my little Budgie that I believe is to be a girl. She bites my hand randomly when I hand feed her. She jumps on my hand and eats and then bites me or the fact that she tries to attack me when I am walking across her path even if I am not looking at her. I dont know how to bond with her because she is so agressive. I have had her for nearly two months
