RobbyBrown Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 We go to our sisters house, and she has a budgie. Now he is a lovely little animal, friendly etc.... unfortunatly has a filthy habit. When he is sat on your hand, you can see he tummy puffing out, and then he lets rip. Your hand is then left with poo on it, the budgie just sits there as if nothings happened. So what can be done to help the budgie change his ways? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berkana Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Leave it in its cage. I very much disagree! But yes, nothing can be done. Budgies "poo" roughly every 15 minutes so of course he acts as if nothing's happened. You can't "tame" natural bodily functions or behaviours.

RobbyBrown Posted June 8, 2009 Author Share Posted June 8, 2009 I don;t want the budgie to not poo. What I want is for the budgie to realise what he is about to do, and then go somewhere (perhaps behind the sofa) do his business and then come back and sit on your hand.

Berkana Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 I appreciate that, but don't think it's a possiblity really. As birds generally spend all their time perching in trees or their indoor alternatives, they generally don't care where they excete. As opposed to, say, rabbits and hamsters who usually use one corner of their cage or hutch, which makes it possible for them to be trained to use a litter tray or "hamster toilet." Sorry about that! I'd advise carrying wipe wipes or similar next time you visit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
