Hello and welcome to our more than 1 budgie together page!
The behaviour of budgies and their take to living with their budgie friends.
Friendship is just as in important issue in the animal kingdom as with humans,
which can also mean that, just like us, if a budgie doesn’t get along with one of its
lodgers, all hell can break loose, so it’s worth taking things slowly and getting them to
happily live with a companion.
If you have several females and decide to try them living all together,
then I would urge great caution and keep your eyes peeled! If they decide that they don’t
like each other, then they could cause a lot of serious damage to one another. One way to
tackle this is by keeping an even number of male and female budgies in the same aviary if
you have to have females living together. Males on the other hand get on with each other
with much less resistance. They are mellow birds and will adapt to the situation very
quickly and get on with no problems what so ever. Whatever you decide, it has recently
been agreed in modern literature that a budgie does in fact need company. If kept single,
it is though that it potentially, could cause serious psychological and physical damage to
the bird. If you put in all the hours that you can, a budgie can be tamed relatively easily,
which should make introducing a companion much easier if they have not grown up with one.
As budgies naturally live in flocks, getting them to co-habit shouldn’t be too much
of a problem really. When introducing a friend for your budgie, it’s a good idea to get the
additional member as young as you can. Start them off in separate cages near to each other
so they can get used to each other from a distance. This way the birds will learn to trust
each other with out feeling they have to fight for territory. When they are visibly at
ease with one another, open their cages and let them mingle with the option of going back
to their cage if they want to. As they get more comfortable, get a bigger cage with two of
everything (food bowls, cuttlebones etc) so there is no reason to fight and they should
naturally form a flock and be happy living with each other – birds of a feather stick together
after all!
All of you that already own budgies, I’m sure will agree, that each bird has its
own way of behaving – no two are alike as far as personality and attitude go. One may love
to be handled as much as you are prepared to do it, whereas another may be a little touchier
and only want to be handled when he decides its ok. Some will love to play with any toy you
supply to them, some will enjoy listening to a bit of music and some will show favouritism
to certain toys, songs and even items of clothing that you wear. Individuality most certainly
will show with your budgies!
