He is not hurt but now he is frightened of me! He rejects my finger and I fear I’ve lost his trust forever!
How should I proceed!

Does not seem to be bonding with my spoilt boy who has become quiet and less active. New bird spends lot of time pacing side to side o n perch. Both eating well

My 11yr old daughter has just bought a baby budgie. Prob 8-10 Wks old.

It is totally untrained. If you could send some tips to help her that would be fantastic. It dosent know how to step up or anything. And because its been raised on seed we can’t seem to bribe it with peanut butter or any treats. As it only knows seed as food.

Many thanks bec

Hey Elaine,

thank you for your comment!

One possibility I see here is letting your budgie fly in a room where the cats can’t get in. Can you prevent your cats from getting in the “budgie room”?

The next thing you could do is getting a huge aviary that you can place in your house. This way your budgie could fly all day – protected from your cats. Do you have enough space for that?

Most budgies grieve when they lose their partner and it is best to keep them in groups or flocks since they are are so social. So I recommend getting another budgie. You can read in our article here why budgies need companions.

Hope this helps, Elaine!

Whenever you have questions, just leave a comment anywhere on this website and I will do my best to get back to you quickly!

Regards,

Pierre

I would love to give Arthur a little more freedom but am scared he’ll fly off as I’ve never let him out and his wings aren’t clipped. The other problem is protecting him from the cats. He has a cage that has a cage stand and I let his cage outside in the day if its a nice day out.

He also had a friend who passed away in June and im scared he might be a little lonely.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Kind regards
