Getting 2 chick brothers

[eldiel]

Hello Budgie lovers,

I am considering to get 2 brother budgies which are 30-35 days old only. What do you think about taming them together? Since they are brothers and very young, would it be convenient to tame them? How hard would it be compared to the single one?

In my opinion this is far too young to take them away from their mother, can you not wait until they are at least 8 weeks?

Hi

Well they are out of the nest and eat themselves. Sometimes their mothers still feed them. Why do you think that it would be a problem? Last time I got when the bird was 7 weeks old and there was no problem.

If we come back to my question; how easy to tame 2 brothers comparing 2 unfamiliar chick together? Is it still considerably eaiser when it is alone?

Just my opinion, but I dont think any responsible breeder would let a bird between 30-35 days old be sold.

You are talking birds that are five weeks old, not seven; big difference.

How they are to tame will depend on what input the breeder has given them and their individual personalities. Whether they are from the same clutch or not is irrelevant.

Okay, I wait more. I will go and check birds situation and ask the breeder if she can practice with hand taming amd feeding with the birds for the upcoming 2 weeks.

Still what would you advice? 2 brother(I plan 2 male) or a single one for a perfect bond?
