I had birds once! They were all rescue birds. My first one was a saffron finch. We found him at my school in a bush as a baby. He couldn't fly so we took him home. He became our new pet! We had him for about four years. Then he flew away to be with his own kind ❤

My dad's coworker surrendered an African grey to us because he was moving. Beautiful bird, mean as heck. That bird does not like anyone. I guess he bonded with the coworker an no one else. I advise you to train your bird to not bite when they are younger. Have them climb on your hand. If they start to bite, set them on the floor. Birds feel, well, smaller on the ground and might learn over time not to bite. Our bird has gravitated to my dad a slight bit but will still bite him. I am in the process of teaching our African grey not to be so nippy. Positive renforcement is very effective so far. Feed them snacks like plain nuts, seeds, or whatever would fit their diet. Progress had been to the point where I may pet his back for only a while. 😁Also note parrots are extremely intelligent and require interaction daily. They also pick up on phrases if they talk. Be careful what you say around them. 🙈 |

i have two budgies! we got two from a pet store around 8 years ago and then one died so we got another one from a shelter so she wouldn’t be lonely. they are not tame and my family kind of gave up on that so we just leave their cage door open so they can fly around (they don’t do that much anymore cuz they are old) and put them in at night. we also brought in some huge tree branches from outside and set them up so they can stand on them and we hang toys for them to play with. i wish we could have tamed them but when we got them, i was still really young and my parents didn’t do a lot of research so they didn’t know how. i would try and tame them now but it’s hard because we don’t clip their wings, they are old, and they have already bonded with each other so it’s really hard. it’s fine though because they have pretty good lives and we don’t keep them locked up all day so they can actually fly around and stretch their wings. 🤷♀️
