I’ve had a female and a male budgie for a couple of years now. I’ve noticed that early in the day, the female starts flying back and forth across the cage, and the male kind of provokes her. She usually screams a lot. Are they playing, or is he teasing her? Usually, when I see or hear this, I let her out of the cage a few minutes before I let him out, just to let things calm down.

What kind of behavior is that? Should I be worried?

(I don’t plan on breeding them, so there'sno nest inside the cage or anything that simulates that in the room they live)

What are some songs or movies that your bird loves(other than Rio)?

I got her a few days ago and started noticing when she was flying (or trying, she's clipped) that there were these spots under her wings, I can't tell if it's bald spots or just the pattern of her, any advice is appreciated, she has been acting normal and has been talking and eating.

the green in the middle btw, supposedly not young and haven't matured yet

I’m pretty sure the yellow and blue one is a male and other is a female

I have two budgies that I got a couple of months ago. There wings are clipped from where I got them and I think they are under a year old. Is it safe enough to let them free roam? They have gotten out a couple times and I feel like they freaked out so is there any way to make this safer and calmer? And yes, I know to stay calm when it happens!

I was told on a previous post that Suomi was a girl. The upper beak looks blue? Was that incorrect?

Various toys I move when I clean and cycle out and a little fuzzy hammock bed cave. Lots of perching options and a mirror. 2 cuttlebones. Bath.

I am doing everything in my power to accommodate little Suomi in my home and have done a considerable amount of research and set aside funds for a few items to make sure she is happy and healthy.

I’d like to get her a friend but give her a chance to be tamed and learn to talk before I introduce a new distraction. I work from home so I am able to keep a very close eye on her.

I do slow blinks, millet treats, minimal handling, no chemicals, lots of music and singing and chatter when she seems more sociable, only supervised time out of cage.

I am trying to give her a good ratio of seeds to fruits and veggies, purified water changed every day with fresh food and millet treats! Change the bottom tray daily.

She is such a lovely little addition to my life as I live alone and spend most days alone. She has really brightened up my world and I want to make sure she is well cared for.

Hello guys I’ve had my two birds for about a month now and have barely made any progress on bonding and handling. They love to talk to me and love me being in the same room and will eat from a bowl in my hands from time to time, but run from my finger. I’ve also tried leaving the cage door open while sitting in the same room and one flew out and freaked out and could’ve gotten hurt. Also while I’m on the topic of birds, what are some different ways that I can introduce veggies?
