Ohhhh - he is the cutest little budgie. Nice picture I think I need someone like Billy to help me with my homework

Hi All I think my budgie must have been a acrobat or gymnast in a past life. In his active stage of the day Mitchell has started doing somersalts. Not just 1 or 2 in a row, but constant somersalts for up to an hour. I didn't think he was ever going to stop this afternoon. He seems to love continously somersalting on his perches, from the walls and roof of the cage and even does little commando rolls along the floor of the cage. He seems to be happy. Has anyone witnessed this behavior in budgies?

Thanks for the feedback everyone, The FAQs page had some really helpful info. I haven't had much of a problem with Mitchell biting me since. I'm finding that if I play with him in the morning and evening he is a lot more placid, while during the day he is a lot more active and excitable and looks more ready to bite. Does anyone know if there a specific time of the day that is best to train budgies?

Hi Everyone, I recently joined the forum and just wanted to let y'all know that I've just welcomed a new little feathered friend into my life. His name is Mitchell and he is very very cute - of course I'm a tad biased. I'm keen to learn all the best ways to go about taming him so I thought joining this forum was the best way to go about it. Mitchell already seems very content playing in his cage. He appears healthy and happy: chirping, swinging upside down and checking out every nook and cranny of his new cage. I have put my hand in his cage a few time in attempt to get him used to it. The 1st couple of times he just sat and watched, the next he hopped up onto my hand and the most recent time he bit me. Why do you think he bit me and in the future how can I prevent him from doing this every time I put my hand in the cage? Any hints and tips would be appreciated :feedbirds:
