I don’t have much info about them. Apparently they are about three years old, were hand raised, and used for breeding. I actually wonder if they may be related
I tend to buy the birds no one wants because I want them to have a decent home and have had tons of luck turning around aggressive budgies who fly free now and come hone when it’s bed time. I got these two on impulse the day I got my baby parent raised linnie because they looked so sad.
These two (Thunder and lightning) are absolutely terrified and I have a feeling they’ve lived a dreary life to this point.
Two wing feathers are clipped on each. I’ve only had them a couple days and know they need time but want to do this right.
Issue I see:
- corner cowering together and contact calls if one is more than 6 inches away
- scared of my dogs (cage is ‘fenced off 6 feet from cage which is 5.5 feet off ground)
- freak out in the evenings. Climbing all around cage and making ‘scared noises’. This is around 7, before they are covered at night
- not eating as much as I’d like them to
I want to:
- help them settle. Suggestions?
-let them out to get exercise. How can I do this? I don’t want to make things worse when I have to grab them to get them back into the cage. I don’t see them tame in the next month and don’t want them cooped up in the cage for months until they come around (if they can)
- they would be allowed out in my large fenced of bird space.
cage placement:
- on top of societies cage. In front of window that gets morning sun ( but I can close blind and view.)
- view of most of first floor
- view of tame English budgies who scurry around the floor as my son as he plays. They do not land on their cage.
- view of a pair of Gouldian finches (who are skiddish by nature of course)
- no view of baby linnie I got the same day. Contact calls here and there
all suggestions are welcome.
baby Linnie (Glitch)
Wants out of cage. Jumped on my lap as I wrote this. He will eat Milliet from my hand but Again I fear he’ll regress if I pick him up to get him back to him cage (which of course I have to go do now) suggestions for him welcomed too. Can I take his cage to the closed off bird space and open it for him?
At this moment I have no closed off and safe room to take them to. Probably will in about a month when a tenant moves out
