This is Dante' (took a couple of days to find a name that suited him). He is a male Mauve spangle (I think)
This is my daughters budgie Mouse.- She is a female, cobalt recessive pied (I think)
Her original name was Storm but whilst they were in separate cages she climbed around like a mouse so she earned her new name.
I started by keeping the budgies in separate cages to make it easier to hand tame them. We did let them out for playtime after a few days and Dante' learned quickly that a stick (or colored ladder) meant safety from the floor, Mouse however is an independent little miss and would only be "rescued" via the tiny vet cage - she would hop on the side and then hop off at her destination. In the end I put them both in the same cage as Daughter was concentrating taming her cockatiel and I was happy enough to be able to be work around them without them going off in a tizz. Neither are hand tame yet but I am still working on it (albeit at a slow pace)
Mouse is still an independent miss but she will hop onto the ladder on occasion to be helped. She however is excellent at climbing the rope we have hanging off the play gym to the floor.
They get daily flying time and lots of lovely veggies daily. Beetroot is a fun veggie to give.
I would love is someone could confirm (or advise) if I have got their colors right.
