i have 6 budgies that are older and i got 2 extra(almost a year now) … one was fine and became a close friend with others, but the other one never, he just calls in the void sometimes follow’s them… he is mostly alone on perch or has fun with toys, but he does not talk much at all, it feels like he have not learned yet… the two were sometimes interacting but the active one unfortunately died of stroke/seizure… i think… it was so fast and he seemed healthy, but now that he does not have even the one that interacted with him i feel bad for him… should i get some extra young one for the posibillity of them being friends ? i talk to him but he wont react much… i could try taming him but i am bad at it… had one tamed so far and it was more that the budgie tamed me…. XD
I recommend getting a new budgie. Budgies are social animals and may die if left alone. However, if you are able to provide 2 hours of daily interaction, plenty of toys, and a place to fly freely in, then, you don’t have to buy a companion.
So, it’s up to you.
Remember to tell us your decision. Have fun and take care of your pet!
Please ask a question if there is anything needed and feel free to share your budgerigar stories with us. Thanks for asking!
i dont know, will most likely go with the second option.. just seen one of my older ones interacting with him but he did not respond just watched… when older got too close he just poked him ran away and started to call again… he might be just bad at socializing and getting a new one might do nothing, they are in my room i have time all the time and they are free to fly in the whole room…. the budgie is not sick he was like that from start…
Actually i dont know, i will most likely go with the second option because i have just seen how one of my older ones tried to talk with him but he did not respond, just watched, when the budgie got too close he pokes him and runs away and starts to call again… getting a extra one might do nothing… it feels that he is just bad at socializing… i have time all day they are close to me and can freely fly in my room … i try to talk to him too but he mostly ignores it …. he is not sick he was like that from the moment we got him
