Comments for Budgie Behaviour Problems

Dolores, 1 December 2023

My parakeet has an irritating habit of walking over to seed cup and lifting and dropping it over and over, Seed is available at all times, he has the best grade of seed, and also has jars of shepherd treats that I put in every other day. He is otherwise a normal parakeet, keeps switching his toys around so not bored, but this dropping of the seed cup is a noisy and annoying.

I lost my female last Friday suddenly..she wasn't even a year old and her brother is on his own now..he doesn't seem himself much ,he's less quiet and he likes to bite my finger.which he's always done. I just don't know why my female passed when she wasn't even a year old.

I had 2 parakeets in one cage for 3 1/2 years. One passed away suddenly. Bluebell and Buttercup. BC is the one who passed. At the time I was sitting for their “cousin” Cozi. (Separate cage). BB is quite social and never appeared to mourn fo BC. Wants Cozi’s attention all the time. Cozi is more reticent but does reach out. They seem to enjoy each other. BB of course is more needy of attention. Now Cozi might be going back to family. I’m thinking of getting another bird for BB. Question. Separate cage or place him in same cage w BB? Please respond asap. Thank u so much

I have 3 parakeets 6 months old and have noticed that 2 are males. The female has paired herself with one of the males but squawks when the other male comes close to her and won't even stay on the same perch with him. They are in a moderately large cage. Should I separate them?

I have a male and female in the same cage the female has been the dominant bird but this has now changed and the male is now the dominant one. I haven't seen the female eat seeds for a week she is being fed by the male. If I put my hand in the cage and offer a treat the male will hop on my finger and eat the seed bell but the female won't come anywhere near it. Both budgies used to take turns jumping on my hand for the treat I can only put it down to the male wanting to breed. Both birds are getting along they are not fighting.

My female parakeet is 10 years old and recently went through a really bad molt. She lost lots of feathers, hasn't been eating as well, and is not herself. Any suggestions ???? or opinions?
