To begin with, sit or stand with your face close to the cage, talking gently to the birds. After the first day, raise your hand so that it is clearly visible to the occupants of the cage. In a short time – anything from two to seven days – the hand will become associated with the soft, safe voice.
Can you train two budgies at once?
However, it is still possible to tame two at once. My first time getting budgies, I’d gotten two at once because I didn’t want them to get lonely. They weren’t tamed when I got them and very skittish and afraid of hands. They were around 7–8 weeks when I got them.
Will 2 male budgies fight?
If you own a male and its cage is small, your best option is to select another male. Male budgies get along well together; they serenade one another, and usually interact harmoniously. If females are kept together in a larger flight cage, confrontations are less likely to occur than in a smaller cage.
Will budgies talk if you have two?
It will always prefer the other budgie, because they can talk to each other and understand each other and are the same size and want all the same things and they know how to touch each other in pleasant ways.
