Do budgies love their owners

The pupils of humans dilate in certain circumstances, such as in response to stimuli from light or in the dark, but those of birds can transform for many other reasons. When a bird dilates its pupils (they become larger) or contracts them (they become smaller), it can express joy as well as discontent, anxiety, fear, or many other things. 

• When you observe with wonder that your budgie blinks in your presence, it is a very clear indication that she appreciates that you are near her. 

No, your budgie will not hang herself with a rope, she will hang herself from a perch by letting her body and her head down the perch hang down. Being in this position, the bird is vulnerable. If he does this in your presence, it is certainly to show you that he feels good, because at this moment he trusts you and is not afraid. 

Parakeets can use their beaks to express different things. These can range from subliminal messages to practical work (such as bursting the shell of a seed). If a budgie wiggles its beak in your presence, it is a sign of affection.

• When a budgie grinds its beak (moves it from left to right and vice versa, like humans, grind their teeth), it’s a sign that it likes you.
• When budgies play together, they sometimes seem to peck at each other, but this is not the case, they are indeed just playing. If your budgie does this with you, without trying to hurt you, it is a sign of immense love. 
• See if your new friend is regurgitating food when you’re near her. This is a very strong sign of affection, especially if your bird moves its head and eyes immediately afterward. 

If you hear your budgie trying to sing or pronounce words, no matter how simple they are, it’s a great sign of affection. If your bird loves you, it will seek to reproduce words you speak, whether or not they make sense to it. If you notice this, you’re in luck, your budgie loves you.

Look at the beak again. Sometimes budgies try to communicate with you by making sounds that are not necessarily loud. They may then strive to produce words or sounds with their beaks, but they are not clear and you cannot interpret them. This is, however, a sign of affection. 

Look at the tongue movements. When a budgie is pleasantly surprised that you take it on your finger or on your hand, it will express its contentment by making tongue clicks. So if you hear that your friend is clicking and clacking around you, that’s a super good sign. 

Make sure your budgie is well-being. If you forget to give your friend food or water, you will put her life in grave danger. It can harm her development and health, she can also die of horrible suffering. You don’t want that, do you? So you need to give your super friend water and food regularly to keep her healthy.

• Place a feeder in your bird’s cage and give it seeds, peanuts, bird treats… anything that can make him happy and fulfilled with you.
• Never give your budgie foods like avocado, chocolate, salty things, or appetizers, as your friend’s health and life are at stake. 

A bird’s cage is its home, as your home is… your home! A place where you feel perfectly safe, and where you can watch TV and play games without worrying about anything else. Your budgie should feel that way when she’s in her cage.

• Provide a cage large enough for your friend to flourish and fly, but keep it away from the direct light of the Sun God. The minimum dimensions for small species are 75 cm x 45 cm x 75 cm. A cage of this size still involves daily outings. And better a large cage with several parakeets than a lot of small cages with one parakeet per cage: this makes them territorial and aggressive to be locked and cut off from each other. Also, don’t disturb your bird with loud noises like those of the TV, loud music, or screams when you fight with your boyfriend while throwing plates at each other. You would put the budgie’s life at risk by scaring her.

Yes! Parakeets love to play, alone, with you, or other budgie friends. Without toys, they will wither and feel very bad. So take care of them.

• Get toys for your bird so it can climb, descend, turn around, go right, left, and explore… Take good care of him.
• Place a swing in your friend’s cage, she will be able to have a lot of fun. The cage must be large enough or it will be sad.
• The toys you buy for your happy pet should not be dangerous to his health. The budgie must have the opportunity to chew them as it pleases without being intoxicated with toxic elements.

Build trust. You need to start by reassuring your budgie so that she feels safe with you. Talk to her in a soft voice as often as possible, and get her used to your physical presence by approaching her cage whenever you can. Little by little, your new friend will love you more and more and soon you will not be able to spend a moment alone at the bar because you will have to take it everywhere you go. Yes, there too…
