Posted December 12, 200915 yr Hi there. I'm new to the forum and new to budgies I just got my first ever budgie today. His name is Bula He has been spending his time in the cage on the back perch. He seemed to breath fast at first but seems to have relaxed. Could someone tell me the best time to try and start taming him? To me he looks like a recessive pied...but i don't know much about them, so a second opinion would be greatly appreciated
December 12, 200915 yr welcome id give him a week to relax and get farmilar with his surroundings,then slowly start.
December 12, 200915 yr I agree he is a Recessive Pied and a cutie at that. We have a great FAQ section for taming, nutrition and more so make sure you check it out. Don't forget to add a cute picture of him for Jan Budgie of the Month, the link can be found in the shoutbox where you can vote too for Budgie of the Year. Glad to have you aboard and welcome!!
December 12, 200915 yr Aww.... your budgie is so sweet! With the taming, spend a bit of time around the cage at first so he gets to know you during the first week or two. then start sticking your hand in. Hope that's a bit of a help! Oh, I almost forgot, welcome to forum!
December 12, 200915 yr Welcome to the forum. Elly is right, look in the FAQ section for taming tips. He will naturally be timid at first, so the week of him seeing you and realising you are not a threat is important. He is a recessive pied, you are right there. Good luck with it all.
