michael-pimms

my budgie keeps getting stuck in the bars of his cage. it started when i started letting him out, when ever i put him back in his cage or he wants to come out he pushes his head through the bars and cant get out without getting upset and help. do i have to stop letting him out or has anyone got a better idea? do i need a new cage?

here we go..

hes obsessed with my head.

i think elly is right. anouther quick question, why is pimms so obsessed with landing on my head?

Ooh, he's pretty! Is he opaline? And pictures don't always reflect proper color, but his cere is looking kind of female to me. In real life, is it a deep blue, or is it light blue and kind of whitish? ill put a clearer image on lateralso what does opaline mean?

here we go

righty oh. the pictures are on their way. :rofl:

i dont know how to put pictures on

good news. today i re-arranged pimms' cage so his door opens up to make a platform that i put millet on and he comes onto to it. i let him get used to it for a couple of minutes and then took the millet away and put it on my hand he then, after a little hesitation, hopped on to my hand. i took the millet away and he stayed there and was very interested, not scared. thank you both. this is alot of progress for me and i feel alot better. he is however not trusting anyone else. as soon as people walk into the room he cowers int the corner of his cage, but i sopose thats expected. (it sort of makes me feel more special that he doesnt like anyone else) p.s. thanks elly your article was very useful

cheers. i dont really want to have to clip his wings, if i was a bird id be pretty ticked off if i couldnt fly any more.

what size are budgie eggs?

when i first got my budgie my brother (not a nice person) tried to pick him up. pimms (my budgie) bit him on the hand and my brother drew his hand back fast with pimms still attached. pimms hit the side of his cage and got very upset. eight months on from this, and i am having great difficulty training my budgie because he is very agresive and bites every time i put my hand near him. its quite upsetting for me and pimms. could the incident at the start of my time with him be the cause of his agression? please has anybody got any advice?

ive been using cooking apple branches in my young budgies cage since i got him. he loves biteing it and chewing it and he has no health problems so im assuming that they are safe

thanks every body

hello i have a young green and yellow lovely budgie called pimms. however, im trying to get him trying other food other than his millet and his normal seed in the bowl. ive tried apple, biscuit, grapes, pepper, cucumber, carrot and loads of others but he wont go near them.

i have heard numerous acounts of budgies being adopted by flocks of starlings that would be a nice thought

this is actually quite mean its like making a begger dance for food

Aska friend to hold the bird and you take the picture or vice versa....I dont think asking the bird to lift his wing will help much wont that hurt him? also i saw a lovely yellow budgie in my local pet shop around the same agewould it be okay for them to live together . the cage is 60cm long-70cm tall-30cm wide

getting pictures of his underwing is hard any idea how i could get him to lift his wing?

hello my budgie is 5 and a half months old, he seems reasonable happy and is very talktive and loves to talk to the birds outside. however, he hasn't got feathers underneath his wings. This afternoon i found three feathers all about 1.5 inches in the cage, ive heard that they pick their feathers when they are boerd. is this molting natural or do i have to do something? ( hes got lots of toys, biggest cage i could find, i leave the radio on when im not there and i talk to him a lot) any advice acepted gratefully

how lovely
