I have the headache from hell and have had it for several weeks now, and it isnt helped by the fact that our Budgie will not stop squawking at 200 decibells for the slightest reason.

Is there any way, short of necking the little bugger of making it shut its beak? I tried covering the cage up but the damn feathery freak just keeps on squawking.

If this keeps up, I may have to introduce him to the cat.

Put it in another room?

Tried that, the little sod just yells louder! Its worse than a woman!

:hihi: get it a mirror? it worked for my nans budgie

The mirror is adding to the aggro! The idiot is headbutting it and screaming and making phone ringing sounds!

I think hes having some sort of breakdown.

Its lovely when the noise stops though. Trouble is, hes only quiet when hes trying to rip the skin off my fingers with his rotten, stinking, vicious little beak!

How about getting him a "girlfriend"? A teddy type?

Thats an idea.... I might get him some totty, its probably what he needs.


Knowing my luck though, Id end up with two of the screeching loonies!

Its impossible to shut em up. I have a parakeet, Gandalf(we like lord of the rings) and his squawk is really high pitched, he`s worse if he wants something or thinks he`s being ignored!
throw a good assortment of grub in there, so he can fill his belly, get him one of those plastic budgie`s to keep him entertained(he might just need some budgie lurve) and if it carries on at least you`ll have a fat bird to make a pie!

Get him a girl friend like baileys mum says you might get a we bit of peace then they wont breed unless you put a box there for them."or should not"lol

You could always flush it out:hihi:

Seriously though we've got 4 here at the moment that we are pet sitting for 3 weeks, try sleeping with the racket from that lot - fancy a swap?

think your just going to have to get soundproofing!

Our cockatiel lives in the bathroom - only room that's totally cat-free [so long as the barmy bengal doesnt yowl at the daft dobermutt to bang it open for him, that is] and its a big, long room.

Sound tends to resonate though, so we do get this occasionally but our solution is to pipe Radio 4 in all day whilst we are at work (he's a bit of a culture vulture) - gives the little critter a bit of company and he's usually all squawked out by the time we get home.

When my pair started, I used to bung in ear plugs!

get a blanket an cover them up dont allow any light in when its dark yhey normally shut up

You could ask someone to babysit for a bit. or budgiesit. whatever! Maybe when your headache is gone you'll be able to cope better.

Jabber, stop being such a wuss and get the headache sorted. Once that's gone, the budgie won't be such a problem. :thumbsup:

I sorted the little bugger.

Stuck him in the wondow of the back room. Hes so busy watching the other birds and glaring at the neighbours cats in the garden that hes too busy to squeak.

Im going to swap him anyway, for this. (http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i159/Doppler1/VFOeP2pDdUgHmaYKhIjHco3M6g-UZ4y2030.jpg)


Now THATS what I call a birdie!

If you make him a cage cover out of blackout fabric you can con him that it's night, so you get a little bit of peace.

It was the only thing that saved my sanity when I had a pair of lovebirds and a stroppy parrakeet having their own little dawn chorus in the bedroom with me.

I used an old black leather jacket to cover the cage with, I made sure that no light was getting through too.

The little swine chewed a hole in the leather.
