Budgies have so many ways of communicating with humans and other birds as well. Paying attention to their sounds, behaviors and even body language can tell you so much about how they are feeling.

Noises are definitely not the only way to tell how a budgie feels. When they are joyful and excited, they flap their wings, bob their heads, or even shake their tongues or tails! Sometimes their behavior resembles that of a dog who is happy to see you.

There are things you can to do make your budgie happy. Keeping the cage tidy is the first step. Even though they should not spend all of their time in the cage, that is the place where they eat, sleep, and play. Therefore the cage should be cleaned at least once a week. Budgies love space and exploration, so it’s a good idea to get them the largest cage possible. Budgies are intelligent parrots, so they need stimulation and entertainment.

Make sure you provide them with: different types of toys with different sizes, colors, and shapes; bel toys they can knock around; puzzle toys that keep them engaged. Giving them different types of food is also important. All of these things will keep your budgie happy, reduce its stress levels, and decrease destructive behaviors.

How do you calm down a hyper budgie?

It’s no secret that, just like humans, budgies get stressed too. This can have a huge impact on their overall health. There are different things that can influence their stress: perhaps a change of routine or environment, loud noises, or new family members. Birds are really sensitive and you have to be careful when you approach a budgie that is stressed or hyper.

They can be aggressive and scream and bite you, pick their own feathers (self-mutilate), lose appetite, change their vocalization, repeat behaviors, and show signs of fear. Sometimes you will notice „stress bars“which are small lines running across their feathers. If you notice stress bars, you might not know what exactly is wrong with the bird, but it is certain that something in the environment is making them stressed. When they feel anxious or bored they might pick their feathers, often to the point of self-mutilation, which can get pretty severe. If this happens, they should be taken to the vet.

The most important aspect of dealing with a stressed budgie is your approach. You should not yell at the birds, because if you do it will only make them even more stressed and it might even teach them that bad behavior gets them attention. You should move slowly and calmly, stimulate them in some way by providing them with toys; something to play with or listen to. Lastly, make sure you give them enough time out of their cage. Be aware of your bird’s sensitivities, pay attention to their cues, and try to calm them down by removing their source of stress (if possible). If you suspect that your budgie is sick, you should definitely visit the vet.
