Jessie 'The Budgie' Playing & Affectionate Head Rub!

2018:::: BIRD TOY LINKS BELOW

I found 2 websites that sell the toy

1) https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B... which is a uk site

2) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bird-Toy-P... this is on uk ebay but the seller does ship to usa

P.S. The birds in those links are two tone colored. if you want a plain yellow color like mine, you will have to email the website you purchase it from to ask if they have plain yellow,

Training advice
-------------------------
A little information for everyone, as i get asked a lot.
I bought Jessie from a pet store when she was 6 weeks old. She wasnt hand-fed/Hand-rasied.

My technique for training her was mainly spending 80-90% of my time with her, she is a single budgie without a friend, she needs to spend the majority of her time with someone as budgies get lonely easily. She has free flight which means she is out of her cage most of the day aslongs as someone is home, her cage door is left open and she comes and goes as she pleases. If no one is home her cage is kept closed just for her safety. I leave windows and doors shut when she is out of her cage or when her cage door is open and i make sure there are no hazzards which can harm her, such as housplants which are toxic, candles, air fresheners, fans, and heaters. She has plenty of toys in her cage and around the room. She has a bigger cage designed for parrots as i believe it is important to have plenty of space for them. If you are not able to do all of this stuff i would sugest getting your budgie a partner, i realise not everyone is in a position where they can spend this much time with their bird, its only possible for me as there is always someone here the vast majority of the time.

As for training. I used a dog clicker and her favorite treat. I started with the 'step up'' command. I put my finger to her and said in a calm but firm voice ''up'' and everytime she stepped on my finger or even walked towards my finger, i would instantly click my clicker and give her a nibble of some millet and say ''good bird'' in a loving voice. I used this technique to train her to do lots of different things, and if you are persistent enough it will work but you also need to show them enough love and time and give them plenty of toys. You can tell when a budgie is happy as they are always hyper or alart and playfull all the time. If your budgie is ever just siting around quietly looking unhappy it usually means they are either sick or they are bored and/or lonely.

Also another thing jessie likes is music and being spoken to, So try this with your birds too.

If you have any questions please leave me a comment, it sometimes takes me a while to reply but i will reply at some point.
