I've been a breeder for about a year now and ever since I've started breeding I've wanted to hand rear a budgie to have inside as a pet. How should I go about this, do I bring it inside as an egg and put it in an incubater and wait for it to hatch or bring it inside as a baby budgie? Also can I raise it using wet mix for lorikeets or do I have to use actual handrearing formular? Any info will be great thanks. :thumbs_up:

go fish do you have more than 5 different species of pets

1 1/2 - 2cm

If it's a cockatiel cage the bars are probably too wide. Did you just get him? Do you have other birds that this bird can see? I have a hen that did this same thing. She could see the other birds and was in a cage by herself and was trying despritely to get out. Even in a parakeet cage she was able to get her head out at the top corner were the corners rounded out. He may calm down a bit. Let us know how you make out. he can't see any other birds i think he just wants to get out

i got a new budgie and i decided to tame it. So i brought it inside this was my first time training, and so i started with just putting my hand in the cage every 5 minutes and getting him used to it. and in an hour he was jumping up on my finger, my next step was getting him out of his cage so. I took him into the toilet (i closed the toilet lid) and he was fine. I got my friend in to clip his/hers wings. Now a week down the track he/she isn't as tame, when i get him out and he's sitting on my finger he'll see his cage and fly towards it, then I'll go and get him and all i have to do is put my finger in front of him and he'll jump up with no problem but when i move him away he'll do it again and again until i get sick of it and put him back in his cage. i don't want him locked up in his cage all the time so please give me some tips. :fly:

I got this new budgie and he/she has been pushing his head through the bars of its cage and geting stuck so I get him out of his cage and it will sit on my hand but as soon as it see's its cage it flys strat towards it. I know the cage is big enough but my friend says its because the bars are two wide so its more of a cockatiel cage. In a couple of days i'm going to the pet shop to see if they've got a better cage with better bars. got any ideas?

hi, this normally means she is a girl trying to make a nest.

if the tail is long does that mean its a boy or is the only way to tell by the cere? thanks

buffy it is then.

my old lovebird was called peaches untill she sadly died.

those are some great names, I think I might go with buffy. I like that but I have another pet called blossom.

no, sorry i don't Please at least give more information. Its like getting blood out of a stone otherwise. she is a peach faced lovebird with a green body and a bit scared up. :greenb:
