Hello everyone, I am new and I actually just made myself an account today after about two months of scrolling through forums..
Anyways, I have two budgies that both came from pet stores (At the time I didn't know how horrible pet stores are). I have a white, blue and grey one named Molongo and a green, yellow, and black one named Minindi.
Ive had molongo for almost 5 months and minindi almost 4. Minindi has never bitten me and hes always been very sweet. Timid and a little skittish, but still always very sweet.
Molongo on the other hand will bit me any chance that he gets. If I open their cage door he lunges and my hands/ arms. He will take millet from my hand and he will eat on my hand as well but in the process he always feels the need to bite me. I obviously know that I havent had him all that long. Plus with him coming from a pet store he probably wasnt handled often if at all. I just don't understand why he always bites, I mean he clearly trusts me enough to step uup onto me and take food from my hand but he just constantly wants to bite. Another thing is that they both fly away from me. I dont care how many time I go back and get them from their perch they will continue to go back to it. So basically what I am asking is for some advice. Has anyone had this issue? Ive educated myself as much as possible and Ive tries many different methods of taming them. I would also love to know how to keep them from flying away? It would be very much appreciated!
