Bird Behavior

It counts on what you want. If you want a colorful bird than the parakeets are the best but if you want a talented and the world's best talking bird than the hill mynah is the best!!

Female budgies may become aggressive and bite due to hormonal changes, territorial behavior, stress, or feeling threatened. To mitigate this aggression, ensure they have a spacious and enriching environment, provide plenty of social interaction, and handle them gently and consistently. Additionally, you can establish a routine to help them feel secure and consider consulting an avian vet if the behavior persists, as it may indicate health issues.

they don't go well together i've had rabbits and chickens. one of my rabbits killed a chicken and injured another.

Your Budgie should still remain hand tame , with another bird in the cage , if you keep up the handling.

If you are buying them from a pet store, you can never be sure. But most breeders will start selling baby budgies after they are weaned. Some are only a few weeks old.

Our parakeet loves grated raw carrots, green leaf lettuce(not head lettuce), cooked corn with no salt/butter, unsalted crackers, cooked brown rice with no seasoning, steel cut oats, grated apple...

The cage wires can be NO more than 1/2" (one-half inch) apart. Anything more and they can squeeze through. Guillotine doors can be opened by budgies and may need to be secured.

You have to wait about a year, once they are adults then you will be able to tell like the person below said the males have a deep blue above their beak (kinda like their nose) and the females have a dark crusty brown nose, almost like a brownish red. When they are babies their noses will be white. Also budgies will start loosing the lines on their heads when they are adults so yeah. So it all depends on the age of the budgie, so just be patient. :) good luck I had the same issue too when I got my budgie! :D From. echub As adults, male budgies have a blue cere (the part above the beak, where the nostrils are), and females have a tan cere. Immature budgies, however, are different: young males' ceres are a purple-pink colour, and young females' ceres are pale blue with white around the nostrils. Cere colour changes with maturity. (When a hen is in breeding condition, the cere further darkens to dark brown, sometimes appearing "crusty".) Exceptions to the above rule are albino, lutino, and "creamino" (pale yellow/cream) budgies, whose ceres often remain the same throughout life.

Clutch size.

NO

They are regurgitateing to show affection and to make sure the partner is safe and well fed. Many captive birds regurgitate to their mates (or to owners!!) to show their fondance to the other being.

Huh. When there is no heartbeat or breathing AT ALL you know it has passed. If it hasn't come out of his/her nesting box or bed, the bird MIGHT have eggs.

This may have been an accident. The bird may have laid too many eggs to fit in the nest. Discard the fallen egg and all should go fine.

well that's what happens to me but always go near it 7 times a day and each time take 20min hope this will help

If the baby is a newborn:

The mother finch is stimulating it to move and open its mouth to fedd it.

If the baby is weaned:

The parents are pecking because they are interfering with the clutch which is going to be laid soon.

no they cant. you can only train them to come back to you not more than 2 miles away or double the human eye sight

they need to learn to live by themselves

Bird behavior refers to the actions of a bird in response to environmental situations. Some bird behavior is inborn whilst other behavior is learnt. Behavior includes caring for itself, feeding and interaction with others (birds, humans, other animals). To develop a happy and satisfying relationship with your pet bird it is important to understand its behavior. Birds view people as part of their flock and therefore act accordingly. Dominant behavior by birds is displayed when the bird believes it is head of the pecking order. It is thus very important to establish the pecking order with your bird as the subordinate. A dominant bird may develop “bad” behavior such as biting or screeching. It may feel it needs to defend its territory against disliked people and attack them. Such behavior by birds can be avoided by keeping the top of the bird’s head level with your chest. Do not allow it to perch above you or on your shoulder as this encourages dominant behavior. Bird behavior can often be interpreted, much like a foreign language. Tongue clinking is an invitation to interact. Grinding of the beak indicates contentment. Panting is a sign that a bird is overheated or perhaps uncomfortable. A sharp flick of the wings demonstrates annoyance. Observe your pet bird’s behavior carefully and you will gain much insight into their state of mind and their general well-being. Preening is an important part of bird behavior as it keeps feathers in good condition. Preening involves the smoothing of feathers by stroking the feathers with the bill. Preening behavior by garden birds may include dust baths and splashing around in water. Bird feeding behavior may change due to temperature, season and time of day. This is especially evident in the feeding behavior of garden birds. In winter they are more likely to make use of bird feeders due to a lack of natural food sources. Your pet bird may begin bobbing his/her head when hungry or excited by the prospect of being fed. Many birds expect to be fed at a certain time every day. Some species are very messy feeders and feed with great vigor. Bird behavior is intricate and fascinating whether you are observing the behavior of garden birds or your own pet bird.

It is called wilfing.

You can tell by the materials used, the shaping and even the eggs that are in the nest. e.g. a cape warbler has a spherical nest that's weaved with grass and has white eggs with brown speckles
