Today My Budgie is, has, had, did???????

[Mr Peepers]

In this thread all budgie owners please post what cute annoying strange dumb thing their budgie or budgies have done today or recently. Lets keep this thread rolling day to day and see if we can have some smiles or laughs in our budgie diarrhea.



Today my molting budgie screamed at the top of his lungs for no reason at all he did this for a long long long long period of time, he's been fairly quiet recently since his heavy winter molt started so this was interesting to hear.. well it was sort of interesting to hear just until my ears started to bleed.

I think feeding him some dandelion greens makes him feel better because I always notice a noisy change in him the day after he's eaten this green.

Bonnie, the poor girl is in love with Kiwi. Kiwi is too old to put up with her and pretends she doesn't exist. He literally acts as if she isn't there. I think that is driving her her even more crazy! The more he rejects her, the more desperate for him she becomes!

I normally use a paper towel as a foraging space for the budgies in their cage. To enter the foraging area, the budgies use a little door. I was low on towels one night, so I opened up a napkin and used that instead. I put it in the cage, and put some goodies on it. After removing my hand, Phoebe came around the corner, ran through the door, her feet touching the napkin. She turned around, screamed like a little person (I've heard many budgie screams and squawks, and this was like nothing I have heard before) ran back through the door, jumped off the cage and proceed to run into the other room.

I went and got her, she was fine. Just very weary of the napkin until I could replace it with her normal towel. I could not stop laughing at her though. Such a picky birdie.

Anything new in their cage or near them and you think we were deliberately trying to kill them.. I've never seen such suspicious nervous birds when it comes to putting something they've never seen near them.

You traumatized your budgie ZoeyF.. SHAME ON YOU

Last night was examine the budgie night as I had to apply the last treatment of ivermectin to make sure SPX hasn't caught any mites that Mr Peepers brought here. Luckily for SPX he has no tail feathers to rip out since that happened a little while back so there was no tragic feather rip and run again.

Surprisingly he put up with the quick examination and dosage without much fuss or bites so I put him back in to his cage where he then decided I was a big poopy head and he needed to tell me this, so he stood at the door and angrily yap yap yapped at me for a very longggggggggggg time.

I think he was miffed

I went to feed the budgies the other day and noticed that Soren wasn't in the cage. I looked around and finally found him sleeping in the cabinet under my fish tank. No worries, he didn't chew any wires, but it was definetly a strange place to find a bird.

The boys have a strip of palm shredder hanging from the top of their cage (they wouldn't touch it if it was weaved on the sides, silly boys) and they were chewing on it and apparently it has gotten short so Percy went for a little ride to the bottom of the cage No worries, he used those wings and didn't actually crash land or anything, just thought it was funny the way he was like "Oh crap, going down!"

Today my budgie did nothing spectacular but my canary has been having a ball playing with a toy in his cage.. the interesting thing about this is I've never had a canary that played with any toys ever!

My other canaries were too busy eating or bathing that they had no time for playing with toys.

Mr Peepers plays with this sliding beaded toy all the time he loves rolling the beads back and forth making a little clicking sound.. its a bugger trying to catch him actually doing this as he will always stop when I hear the click of the beads and glance over in his direction.

HOW DOES HE KNOW I'M LOOKING AT HIM? every damn time he catches me.

Damn psychic canary.

It's been a while since I've given SPX a honey treat stick so I hung one in his cage yesterday evening and HE FREAKED OUT

He did the typical nervous suspicious get it away from me budgie reaction which was funny because it was on the other side of the flight cage and not even close to him. He sat furthest away and eyed it for the rest of the evening giving it the evil eye until finally 8pm came and I went to place the cover over his cage, he did some amazing limbo shimmy shimmy shuffle to get by the treat stick while eying it which made me lol because he wasn't even close to the treat.

He finally got beside his swing after looking around in suspicion and wondering if the treat stick might attack him but I had a little time to talk to him and reassure him and finally get him on his swing to sleep the night away. I waited to hear him have a night fright last night but all was good.

This morning I took the cover off the cage and see he already made a good dent in the evil honey stick before the break of day.

What a crazy budgie

My Son's budgie, Ghost, takes bits of millet from my hand but I hung a whole millet spray into the cage and it coward for a day before I took the thing out as a bad idea.. I mean give that to any other bird and they would decimate it in minutes, maybe all the little chunks of millet would gang up on him in a big spray?

I've always been surprised at how nervous or suspicious budgies can be especially of things they know and have seen time and time again. A piece of cucumber is a traumatic experience even though he ate one 5 days ago.

lol so true but they are so sweet as well and when they get over the shock that's it finished no more fuss unlike some larger birds
