Hi! I'm new here too. I have a budgie named Sola. He's adorable. We got him about two months ago (I think it's a him, not sure yet) because he was at the pet store for about a month by himself in a cage. All the other cages were filled but his. He was super hyper active and aggressive but we didn't care. We got the largest cage we could and he's been great. He's the noisiest and grumpiest out of all. So I believe he is entering puberty right now. I go in, clean his cage, and now allows me to feed him out of my hand. He will land on my hand and allow me to give him scritches. He doesn't like coming out of his cage as I believe he has gotten so used to being in a camped space, being in a room and able to fly around in a room freaks him out. All our other birds are let out in the room (the birds have their own room) and I watch. I've taken him outside every day for about two hours a day, with the rest of my birds.
Today, Sola did the most crazy thing I've ever seen. He jumped out of his cage while we were cleaning and did a lap around the room. He then landed on Carmen and Diablo's cage (parrotlets) and I believe one of them bit his poor little toe (it isn't bleeding and I've scheduled a vet for tomorrow), then he freaked out and flew to the screen in the window and started picking the screen apart as if he knew what he was doing! None of my other birds do this...ever. Is this normal? I grabbed a soft towel I keep nearby, and got him back into his cage where he finally fell asleep, looking pretty contended I might add. Is he planning an escape? Anyway, has anyone had any experience with their birds knowing how to take a screen apart? Mine does.
Thanks in advance! I'm keeping the window and curtain closed when cleaning his cage now but it sure would be nice to know that he can fly around the room with a window opened as I do with my other birds. I don't want him seeing them running around and feeling left out.
Hi, so i just wanted to explain a little more about which bird i have and why (since i only greeted you all and you guys seemed interested).
