New budgies not eating or drinking - Page 3

Maybe you should use something more obvious like a millet spray or some grass.

I don't know if you've tried these methods:

Taming your budgie

I've never had many problems. Wilbert only seems to bite me when it's dark. I guess they don't have good night vision like other birds.

How old are your budgies now? Have you tried just tapping them on the beak so they lick your finger? That allows them to bond.

major problem! it turns out that its not two male birds. theres a female. i only started noticing this when one took a peculiar interest in the other, and tried to mount (they probably havent yet because it seems impossible to do it on perches). upon closer inspection, i noticed the nostrils had turned pinkish on the female. this would probably explain why theyre so unreceptive, but i know now that they wont ever talk, or at least it would be almost impossible to teach them, and its going to also be near impossible to get them out.

oh dear...

well when i got them, one had nothing on the nostrils, and the other had the blue. only recently did i notice the pink only just starting to develop on the other. apparently they were both around the same age according to the person at the pet store.

now i need to think of a new name for her. damn...boris was a funny name.

nahh of course not. even if i could, i wouldnt. despite the problems i have with them, i still like them.

HaHa......Well im certainly Lucky, When i got my first parakeet, he started to Eat within 6 hours. Also, he has a clam personality so it makes it easier to tame him, im still trying to pet Willy (The parakeet) at the wing,back,head,and his chin. Also trying to get him used/drinking water....Now im getting off topic here xD

When they get to the point of biting you hard,(where you are now) I'd suggest to start over the training where you have to get them used to you, like being by the cage, when i first got Willy, I'd play my DSI or i just read a book by the cage. When you're reading a book, Read it out loud softly. When they don't fly everywhere in the cage when you come in anymore, Start the training where you get them to get used to your hand, Try Clicking and Whistling while your doing this, I don't know why but it kinda calms them down and makes it easier to tame, (well the clicking/whistling worked for me....)when you can touch them, (like the basics, the claws and belly) Try getting them on a small perch, encourage them to go on by giving them a treat, when they get use the the perch, put your finger 2 inches from the perch, then 1 inch, then Ditch the Perch and use your finger,remember to go at the bird's pace. I suppose they will fly around when you do this, ~Tip: since you have two birds, i strongly advise you to put one bird in a different room, where it is safe Like it can't be hurt and etc.,and then start to train the bird that is still in the cage.~After that, you can try taking the bird out of it's cage, It's first reaction Should be when you almost take the bird outside, it will try to stay close by the cage, like it would fly back towards it,or it would climb to the top of the cage. Try to take your bird out often so it will be used to get out of the cage and won't do that anymore, then try to hand feed it. I think this increases trust alot so try that. Do that alot and it will start to trust you even more. So now your birds should be tamed now....
There are different answers from mine, so yea x3
Good luck!
~Wow, i sure did type alot...D:~
