Hello, everyone! I joined this group because I'm a fairly new bird owner, with a bonded pair of cockatiels and, as of yesterday, two baby budgies! My tiels are Dio and Ladybird, the white is male and the yellow is female. I have yet to name the budgies for obvious reasons.
I currently have them quarantined in their own cage as best as I can, but they're in the same room as the tiels, so they get used to our every day routine in the room we're in most of the time.
Budgies have already started chirping a bit, ate some seeds and a bit of the little treat I gave them, but they're still fairly wary of us.
Can anyone give me any ideas on how old these little guys are? My bird groups on Facebook think they're both male, and I agree with what little knowledge I have.
I'm also wondering how old they are! I assume 6 months old, max, as their bars haven't receded at all, but I could be wrong!
I'm also looking for any and all tips on finger training these little butts, as my tiels were already hand trained when I got them in October.
Thanks in advance, everyone!
NOTE: I am aware that budgies can be bullies, so I plan to get them a flight cage if needed. They will be introduced to my tiels in about a month, after they've been quarantined, and will be monitored closely. My tiels are free to come and go from the cage as they please, so the goal is to do the same with the budgies, as well, once they're hand tamed.
