I just hope I am doing nothing wrong? She was fine with my boyfriend yesterday, and even giving him kisses.. but he has also had birds growing up.. Does that mean she just doesn't like me or she is just getting used to me?
I also think much of the cooperative behavior you've been seeing so far can be explained by the "honeymoon period". This is a time, after moving to a new environment, where a bird can act very subdued and docile. Some birds don't make a peep, let you pick them up, and basically just don't put up a fight. This can lead owners to think that their bird is quiet and "tame" when in reality they are just trying to learn about their new home and figuring out if you are a big scary predator that's about to eat them. Once they've grown more comfortable they often begin showing their "true" colors and may become more defiant, vocal, and bitey.
Hmmm yes I do think this is the "honeymoon period". If so, then trying to pet her while she's being docile will not help in the long run because you are still forcing her to do something she doesn't necessarily want to. In general you want to wait until a bird indicates that they are open to handling or petting before trying anything.
thats great!!She's been chirping a lot today and a bit yesterday she seems to only do it when she is alone but I think she is warming up nicely
yeah. budgies dont like being held. but they leaving sitting on your finger! she will just be getting use to you. offer her more food from your hand. this will get her more relaxed around you.
but she doesn't chirp constantly, just randomly throughout the day. she seems very happy but wont let me touch her again, so i have to be patient. awww cute... i love it when budgies chirp!lol she won't stop chirping it's so cute
