Hello, thanks to GenericBlue, now I have a new friend in my life. Introducing Giorgio, ordinary grey green (what I prefered) but he's very tame thanks to the hardwork of GB, it was worth the few months of wait and 4 hours return travel for the little fella. He settles right in from day one and wants to be with humans and get involved in everything I have my hands on. I'm trying to train him to be a bit independent right now.

 

I have a question regarding his sex though, my last budgie's cere was blue but turned brown eventually. Now Giorgio has a little sign of blue turning purple brown, can you guys help me sex him? He also peck a little at my fingers, does male budgies peck or bite at all? GB said he is roughly 6 or 7 weeks old, how old can I be certain he's a cock? If Giorgio turns out a hen she'll be called Giorgie, THEN I'll get another male as I really wanted one. My last three budgies were all female, I've not much luck so far, the last male was more than a decade a go and he's a charming prince, my favourite.

 

Anyway, here's the cheeky baby.

 

 

 

His cage and playpen . Look how he lean his body onto me before bedtime.

im so glad to see he is still very tame he loved to sleep with me on my pillow until i fell asleep then he would fly up to my bed post and sleep their

in morn he would come sit with me while i was on the computer

im sorry if i made him to reliant on human company i thought thats what you wanted though

he will fit into you rotune so long as you make one as thats how i got him where he was when you got him

we did the same things at the same times everyday so you need only adjust things to your ways he will learn very quick he is one smart bird your giorgio

Hey no sorry at all, it's brilliant what you did! I WANT the human reliance and company! It's just that I worry if I were to go on holidays and he won't get into the cage, but he seems to be adjusting really well. I cover half the cage up for a few hours a day and put in some toys (will be making more on rotation), other times he's with me as I work part time and am a homebody at other times.
