Budgies adapting to new house

The amount of time it takes for budgies to adapt to a new home can vary greatly depending on a number of factors, including the individual birds and their personalities, the size and layout of their new cage, and the amount of interaction and attention they receive from you. On average, it may take anywhere from a few days to several weeks for your budgies to feel completely comfortable and at home in their new surroundings.

Spend time with your budgies every day, talking to them, playing with them, and offering treats. This will help build trust and form a bond with them, and make them feel more comfortable in their new home.

Avoid sudden changes and loud noises, as these can be stressful for your budgies and make it more difficult for them to adjust to their new surroundings.

Make sure the new cage is comfortable and safe, with plenty of perches and toys, and that it is placed in a quiet, low-stress area of your home.

Why budgie eggs are falling downside??

If your budgie’s eggs are being thrown out of the nest, it may indicate a problem with the eggs or the breeding pair. Here are some possible causes and what you can do:

  1. Infertile eggs: Sometimes, budgies will lay infertile eggs. If this is the case, the eggs will be discarded and should be removed from the cage to prevent contamination.
  2. Unsuitable nesting material: If the eggs are being thrown out because the nest is not comfortable or stable, you can try adding more suitable nesting material, such as soft materials like wood shavings or coconut fiber.
  3. Breeding pair issues: If the eggs are being thrown out due to aggression or incompatibility between the breeding pair, it may be necessary to separate the birds and seek the advice of an avian veterinarian.
  4. Incubation problems: If the eggs are not being incubated properly, they may not hatch. You can try providing a warm and stable environment, as well as a source of heat, such as a heat lamp or ceramic heat emitter, to promote successful incubation.

In general, it’s important to observe the birds and monitor their behavior, as well as provide a suitable environment and proper nutrition, to promote successful breeding and hatching. If you have any concerns or questions, it’s best to seek the advice of an avian veterinarian or experienced breeder.

Why my budgie is not brooding? She has laid two eggs and its been 2 weeks already.

If your budgie has laid two eggs, it is likely that she is preparing to breed. Here are some steps you can take to ensure the best outcome for the eggs and the birds:

  1. Provide a suitable nesting area: Give your budgie a suitable nesting area with a nesting box and soft materials for building a nest.
  2. Monitor the temperature: The temperature in the cage should be stable and not too hot or too cold.
  3. Ensure proper nutrition: Your budgie should have access to a balanced diet with a good quality seed mix, fresh fruits, and vegetables, and a source of calcium, such as cuttlebone.
  4. Provide a dark and quiet environment: Keep the cage in a quiet, dark place to minimize stress and promote successful incubation and hatching.
  5. Observe the birds: Keep an eye on the birds and monitor their behavior. If either bird appears to be sick or injured, take them to an avian veterinarian immediately.

It’s important to keep in mind that not all eggs will hatch, and even if they do, not all of the chicks will survive. It’s also important to remember that breeding birds requires a significant amount of time, effort, and dedication. If you’re unsure about your ability to provide the necessary care, it’s best to seek the advice of an avian veterinarian or experienced breeder.

Cockatiel breeding

Breeding cockatiels is simple as Budgies. I am not planning to breed cockatiels, because I am not a breeder to sell, and I really don’t have that much space to keep a lot of birds.

Here are some tips for breeding Cockatiels for beginners:

  1. Housing: Cockatiels need a large cage or aviary to breed in. The cage should have multiple perches and plenty of space for the birds to move around.
  2. Diet: A balanced diet is essential for successful breeding. Cockatiels need a variety of seeds, fruits, vegetables, and calcium-rich foods, such as cuttlebone or eggshell.
  3. Lighting: Cockatiels need exposure to natural light, as well as a consistent light/dark cycle, to maintain good health and breeding behavior.
  4. Pair Selection: Choose a healthy, compatible pair of Cockatiels for breeding. It’s best to purchase birds from a reputable breeder or pet store.
  5. Nesting Box: Cockatiels need a safe and secure place to lay their eggs. Provide a nesting box with soft materials, such as wood shavings or coconut fiber, for the birds to build their nest.
  6. Breeding Behavior: Observe your Cockatiels’ behavior to determine when they are ready to breed. Signs of breeding behavior include increased vocalization, feeding each other, and courtship displays.
  7. Incubation: Once the eggs are laid, it’s important to provide consistent temperature and humidity levels for successful incubation. You can use a commercially available incubator or rely on the parents to incubate the eggs.
  8. Care of Young: Once the eggs hatch, it’s important to provide food, water, and clean bedding for the young. You may also need to hand-feed the young if the parents are not providing enough food.

Breeding Cockatiels can be a complex and time-consuming process. Before starting, it’s important to do your research and make sure you are prepared for the commitment involved. If you have any concerns or questions, it’s best to consult with an avian veterinarian or experienced breeder.

Why is my budgie bide my finger and goes away when i come come near the cage

Budgies may bite for several reasons, including:

  1. Fear or territorial behavior: If your bird feels threatened or scared, it may bite to protect itself. Similarly, if it feels its territory is being invaded, it may bite to defend it.
  2. Lack of trust: If your budgie doesn’t trust you, it may bite to keep you away. Building trust takes time, so be patient and gentle with your bird.
  3. Playfulness: Some budgies may bite as a form of play. This is often seen in younger birds, but can continue into adulthood.
  4. Pain or discomfort: If your bird is in pain or discomfort, it may bite as a way to communicate this. It is important to take your bird to an avian veterinarian if you suspect it may be in pain.
  5. Overstimulation: If your bird is receiving too much attention or handling, it may bite as a way to communicate that it needs a break.

To reduce the likelihood of being bitten, it’s important to approach your budgie with a calm and gentle demeanor, avoid sudden movements, and give it plenty of space and time to adjust to new situations. Additionally, providing your budgie with plenty of toys and socialization opportunities can help prevent boredom and reduce the likelihood of biting.
