Hello, I bought a budgie 1 week ago, on the 3rd day he start standing on my finger and eat from my hand, I did my best to be quite and calm and gain his trust..
I wanna say that I had a bird before, it was for a relative and it wasn't tamed, but I made it tame, I used to clean after it daily and take care of it, so I know what is to get a bird..
I'm having anxiety for many months, but I was happy this week with my new bird and we get along, but sometimes when I let him out of the cage he fly and run and keep acting like he's scared, although he went out of the cage by himself, then I spend the night thinking and worrying..
today I let him out because he was really bored and doesn't like to play with his toys, then he was acting like that again, freaking me out because I don't want him to get hurt..
anyway I had to grab him and put him in the cage while he was screaming so loud, I know it's not nice but I had to, he'll hit a wall by that crazy flying..
Since this morning I was really thinking that I've made a mistake by getting a bird, I'm really sensitive and he really made me feel sad for him and for myself ,also after today's incident I feel he hates me, he never looks to my face as before when I talk to him.. my home is quite all the day so he's bored, I take a good care of him but he'll feel lonely and sad..
I don't want to put a baby bird in a cage and watch him die of boredom..
is it cruel to sell him? he's 3 months old, people who'll take a good care of him are people who need him for breeding, but they won't buy it at this age right?
I'm feeling really bad atm so please don't say harsh things, I know my mistakes..
