Bringing Home a New Budgie! First 3 days with TritC

Published 2022-05-23
How I handle my first three days with a new budgie. My primary goal is to establish (1) they will be physically safe and can obtain food and water, (2) an understanding that interactions with me come in a predictable pattern, and (3) I am a provider of things they want and enjoy during our interactions!

This is a series of how TritC became integrated into my home, all while balancing two more birds a full-time job, and my social media channels! Follow along to see how I take TritC from scared to confident and comfortable in this video series.

    This is soooo helpful. I hope you have a bunch of these videos! Thank you! I feel bad for all of the people who go out and buy budgies for their kids only to find out that it can literally take months for them to adjust to their new surroundings and grow to love them. It's not always that easy. I imagine that, often times, the birds get left in the cage and ignored because people get discouraged.
  • I rescued a budgie last weekend. Found it abandoned and couldn't bear to leave it by itself. Took it home, knew nothing about birds until then. Bought a nice big cage for it with seeds, a big branch, and a mirrored tub. Lots of learning for me to do.
  • I'm a new budgie owner and I'm so happy I found your channel!🤓

    Oh my goodness, how cute is she?! I'm going through this with a bird I rescued 7 weeks ago. He's still pretty scared of me, sigh. I'm hoping to learn a few pointers by someone like you who knows what they're doing. He's the second budgie I've had in a year. It took my first bird 5 whole months to even chirp or play, etc. I worked hard to tame him. He was from a pet store and came clipped. He finally came around and became a great little talker. Now, I'm starting all over with this bird. I've been trying to find his owner, but in all 7 weeks, I have found no one who is even looking for him. I just pray it's not going to take 5 months with this little guy too. I don't think he's used to being in a cage. He hates being in the cage and finds any way he can to escape, hence the reason that I am calling him Houdini for now.

    I’m looking to get my third budgie soon! My current two get along well except for a few food related squabbles so I’m excited to introduce them to a new friend, stopping at 3 tho as even tho I have a massive flight cage I don’t want to over do it, great video!
  • Precious. I’m bringing in a new one soon. Hopefully he had something he liked, so I could bond.

    My budgie is of same color as that yellow budgie of yours I love her the most
  • @indithebudgie
    Such funny timing, I just rescued a budgie today! The first new member of my flock in 2 years! She looks similar to FitC but paler, and her cere is very overgrown so I'm not sure if it's scaly mites or hyperkeratosis
  • Got my 3rd budgie yesterday and tamed him as soon as I brought him home. It took like 30 minutes. My second budgie I bought 2 months ago is somewhat tamed. My first budgie is not tamed and she is the same color as your yellow bird. Most of the time, she backs away. Not all the time. I just have them all in the same cage.
