bird bathes are not safe because they have a hard time getting out even for adult budgies from what I understand. I personally would not use it.

I agree with Dave too and the rest.

We have tons on biting here and there is biting out of fear and that is usually a strike out where sometimes there is an angry sound behind it others times not, then there is the flirting biting. What have you been doing over a 9 month frame to tame your bird on a daily basis?

The wonderful thing about the net is that you can find a lot of good stuff or a lot of garbage. You have to pick through it and use your common sense for sure.

Great resurface of this thread!

Raw potato is on the toxic list for birds

GB they are all so lovely

very sad to hear this Dave :sad:

He is doing it out of fear budgies can bit for different reasons, once you get your budgies trust it could be flirting etc... Everytime you introduce your hand you should have some millet or a fav food or toy of his so he can associate your hand with good things. Right now all he remembers is the hand that grabbed him to put him in the cage and so he believe you are a predator not to be trusted.

thank you :emoticon112:

I agree with Liv, the first baby is just adorable.

awe ppor babies, fingers crossed they are okay.

Oh MY too cute, not sure if you entered a picture for BOM of the Month but you should

Welcome, we have a lot of different boards to read and learn from, along with our FAQ's section. Look forward to getting to know you and your budgie.

Welcome, in the FAQ, I think the link was already posted for you there is an article on how to get started with taming. . Keep us updated.

can you take a picture of your cage and post here please?

Glad all went well, you and Montie are safe back home, sorry to hear about those type of kids

When she gets out of breeding conditioin she should calm down, right now though I wouldn't let her display that behavior when she does I would immediately have her step off your hand and say no, I had the same issues with the hand thing when you remove them you are like their mate removing themselves from that situation.

Don't at first glance she does look recessive but when you really look at the patterning of the marks on the head and wings she is showing dominant pied. :celebrate:

I am sorry to hear this what happened? We do have a Rest In Peace section if someone passed away :celebrate:

Can you post a picture of him here? I would love to see him sounds gorgeous. If you see a grey suffision like you are explaning he the Double Factor gene is masking the Grey gene.
