This is the fifth day that she's been in the cage, and she is very quiet most of the time and doesn't move around a lot. Never having had a bird before, I don't know if she is okay or not. I don't want to let her out of the cage until we both feel more comfortable with one another (she still seems nervous).

I try to spend a lot of time with her (I now have her cage in my home office, where I spend the better part of the day) and I'm constantly saying her name, talking to her, etc.

I just don't know if she's depressed, lonely, scared or what, or if this is to be an expected period of adjustment after being in the wild for so long.

Hoping someone has some insight and advice!
Thanks. ]]> Budgerigars birdgirl276 http://www.birdboard.com/forum/budgerigars/944019-suzie-rescued-escapee-okay.html New pics of my birds! http://www.birdboard.com/forum/budgerigars/943967-new-pics-my-birds.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 09:30:14 GMT hi everyone,
Last night we had alot of fun with the budgies, only 3 come out now willow, lilly & chester. Lady is still scared frm my hand, but she'll catch on very soon!

The birds were hilariously imitating each other, playing & would fly frm one curtain to another then to the living room.

Anyway, here are some pics. I took a video of em collecting all the funny stuff they do, when I finish editing i'll post on youtube!

Btw, I got a superb book named "My Parakeets" it has all the info. anyone would need about budgies. I would strongly recommend it for budgie lovers.
I was surprised to know that the word "budgerigars" means "good to eat", because the aboregenies used to eat those little guys.:scared:
hope u like the pics,
regards,
Zeina

]]> Budgerigars chideb http://www.birdboard.com/forum/budgerigars/943940-pics-2-clutches-babies-around-house-lol.html Dont know what to do... http://www.birdboard.com/forum/budgerigars/943750-dont-know-what-do.html Wed, 18 Nov 2009 13:10:23 GMT Not sure if you guys read or not, but you can read about "Hannah" in the Macaw section... She came from a 70 year old woman who absolutely adores her birds. She has several small birds, and every single one of them is spoiled absolutely rotten.

I have shown her the photos of my budgies and now she is on a "english budgie hunt". They are not very easy to find, and when you do...they are kind of expensive. It almost makes me just want to give her mine... I mean, I ADORE my budgies, but I know it would bring so much happiness to her life. She literally LIVES for her little birds, I think it gives her a reason to wake up everyday. She gets up and cuts up fruit and veggies for them, she sits and talks to them all day... She is just an elderly woman who stays at home all the time. It is just her and her birds. She has a huge nice sunroom... I mean, it REALLY is kind of like birdy heaven for little birds.

She did GIVE me Hannah. I mean, I didnt ask for her, or need her, or expect her...or anything even close, but still.

I dunno.
