Posted May 19, 200816 yr hi I was watching my new hen budgie who for some reason goes into the corner of the cage she's in and does a forward roll is that normal?
May 19, 200816 yr I haven't but that is interesting maybe she is trying to get out and escape out of the cage too.
May 20, 200816 yr I've seen lots of my budgies do this, they usually do it when they're put in a smaller cage from the aviary. I figure it's a trying to escape thing.

I figure it's a trying to escape thing. yep thats it i bought her from an aviary and now shes in a cage built to fit one budgie so ya but after qurantine im gonna build a bigger cage for her and Bailey to go in so she should be happier then
May 20, 200816 yr I had a hen do this - It was quite distressing for her as she wouldn't eat enough and spent all her time trying to 'escape'. I think she is a bit claustrophobic, as she did not settle in a small cage at all. Because she was in quarantine, I ended up having to empty one of my aviary's just for her so she would calm down. She has joined the flock now and she is happy.
