hahaha which team does she go for
Ive got two budgies, 4 years old, they belonged my sisters friend, who took them on (as a group of four) when her friend moved to a place she couldnt keep them. They havent been neglected, but they havent had much attention, mostly left to themselves. So now there are two left, they dont like people much so i have a lot of work ahead of me!
At the moment im just slowly trying to give them neutral experiences with my hands... giving them their veggies each day, moving very slowly. At the moment they are mostly just watching my hands when theyre in the cage, my next step is to try leaving my hands in the cage for 5-10 mins at a time.
i am pretty sure they like me coming up and talking to them
So i guess im at a similar point to where you are now, just slowly getting them used to me. Ill be looking after them for a year (and hope my sister will let me have them after then, because i think they'll be better off with me) so i have a long time to work with my two! I guess the difference is that i have two scaredy cats at a time
and that theyre quite set in their ways, being 4 years old. but im pretty sure i can bring them around
eventually!!
Millet is a good idea, im going to use it with mine eventually. I dont think thayve had it very often, ive put in two sticks so far and it takes them a few days to go through it. I can tell you, my other budgies (well, mum's now) would have DEMOLISHED a millet each in one day if they were allowed
but as mine arent excited about it, i think ill have to offer it to them more often, until they know how tasty it is and will be willing to come to me for it
