Ok guys so i bought this beautifull budgie from a guy i met on the bazaar who was keeping him in his doner shop, after speaking with him for a nice half hour he agreed that his doner kebab shap isnt a great place to hold him.
So its Rambos first week with us at home and im totally shocked with how smart he is i can leave his cage door open the whole day and he will just sit on top of the cage take a small flight and come back while my other budgies go crazy fly and never come back, i am really shocked with how smart he is he even speaks a few words but theres a bit he doesnt seems to like my other budgies. is he just not social or is he just more into humans? He literally gives 0 attention to the other birds and wants to stay alone chilling on his cage is this normal? he does come alot to me sitting on my shoulder etc. could use some tips thanks

Haven’t seen you around lately - glad to see you! I can’t speak for budgies, but my conures that were raised as “only birds” don’t seem to recognize that they are a bird and choose to interact with people. They do not to interact with the other birds and generally don’t fly around, even though they have regrown their flights. I’m not sure if this will change over time...but it has been more than a year that Bindi has been with me, and Stanley 9 months and they still don’t relate at all to other birds in the house.

He may just have been with humans a long time and no other birds.... this is not an uncommon problem. As long as he is not fighting/picking fights with your other bids he should be okay to just sit and chill, some just aren't social with others.

I don’t know anything about budgies and their social habits, but I’m glad to see you back!

You said other birds...does that mean you kept Hayat after all? Or ?? And “human burb” = human baby?????

I’m sorry you didn’t feel you could keep the baby, but I’m so relieved that you still have Hayat and Blue! [emoji170]
