That's too cute... amazing what a mirror can do for a solo bird. By the way you do know your "Charlie" is a girl, right?

Mirrors unfortunately can mess with a budgies brain as they truly believe there is another bird there.

Charlie will bond to the reflection in her mirror rather than to you, so if you want her tame, best take it out.

I agree with Liv. I would take the mirror out.

We just told him in another topic

Charlie is very sweet! I agree with the mirror comments... My Smokey has his mirror attached to his play gym instead of in his cage, that way he gets a limited period of time each day to play with it... to be honest, he's not really that interested in it! I personally think he has more unhealthy relationships with a couple of his other toys than with his mirror! :hap: :hap:

Oh okay, thanks for that aswell, i just thought she might get lonely with out "bird company". But i guess that she likes to have my company aswell.

Thank you, thats a good idea with putting the mirror on the gym or having it a part of the gym. Haha, and good luck with smokeys obsessions.

Mirror is now out, she seems to be paying attention to the other things in her cage more already. Thanks

Charlie is a name for both sexes, I really like her.

Good on you for taking on everyone's advice so open-mindedly (some people don't necesarily find this an easy thing to do). :fear

 

As you have already begun to notice, our feathered friends do tend to find company in all manner of things in their cages! I find that keeping a supply of extra toys and rotating them every couple of weeks keeps Smokey occupied and engaged - a new arrangment of the furniture and a removing a couple of toys and replacing them with different ones that he hasn't played with for a few weeks provides hours of entertainment and exploration!

 

Smokey's regulars are his swing and ball on a string, but he has maybe half a dozen other toys which come and go (two or three at a time) when I do a major clean out of his cage each fortnight.
