Hi everyone, I'm not really new since I already posted a few threads, but I didn't introduce myself so I thought it would be best. I'm new to the budgies world, well we had one when I was a kid, but I didn't knew anything about them back then and neither my family. In fact he was kept as a 'decorative' pet and was hanged pretty high I didn't get the chance to interact with him. There were rare occasions where I got to interact with him where I pushed my finger between the cage bars and he came to nibble at it. I was suprised cause I thought they were skittish like other birds and didn't know they can be tamed at all.
Lately I came across some informations about budgies, and I was really amazed to see how little I knew about them and I found it such a pity that I had a budgie once and never got the chance to let him express himself. So I wanted to rectify this mistake by getting a new budgie and I told my boyfriend about my desire to get one so he gifted me Rio as my birthday present. I have Rio for almost three weeks now, he's getting used to his new home, chirping from time to time and sometimes panting heavily for no apparent reason I'm passing my exams these days so I spend a lot of time studying out loud while I keep him beside me. I hand fed him a few times and started to teach him how to step up and he's improving at it. I'm keeping him in a small temporary cage but I'm looking to get him a bigger and safe one. I let him out once, he panicked and started crashing himself against walls and then landed on the floor so I followed him and got him to step on my finger and then placed him on the desk beside his open cage, he stayed still panting heavily for a moment then hopped back into his cage and doesn't want to get out anymore since then. :/
Beside that, I have 12 cats lol But I always keep the bird away from them. I also do horse riding and and I have a very stubborn mare with a strong personality.
I think that's way enough for the introduction Sorry for the long post and here's a picture of Rio. :3
