Hey Venni, I wonder how old your bird is. Sometimes, sexual maturity brings out aggressive behaviours. Be sure your bird gets 10-12 hours of sleep every evening at the same time. Feed him a good pellet diet, limit seeds to 10% and offer fruits and veggies 10-20%. If he bites, try not to overreact. I know that can be hard to do. Push into the bite and he will let go. You can try to cover the cage for only 1 minute to help calm him. Longer and the bird may not get the connection well. This behaviour should improve in 2-3 weeks. Hang in there. Things will improve.

If you have children or a parakeet hater in your family your keet will be afraid. Don't disapline the bird. It'll just scare the bird more. The bird is very afraid of something. Drafts and a bird being by a door or window is bad. Civer the bird up with a sheet before night.

Parakeets are more wild than other domesticated birds closer to the parrot in relations. Wild animals are unpredictable. Could be mating season, could be a spook, could just be that something in the parakeets mind just snapped. I dont no....just be patient and give the bird what it needs...it will probably calm down eventually.

Something has spooked the bird.
Cover 3/4 of the cage and let him relax! Start retraining him and be patient. Things like this will happen. I've had my birds for 19 years and found out recently that balloons scare them.

It rather relies upon on your discomfort tolerance tiers. One o my budgies from time to time bites me and that i does no longer say it tickles inspite of the incontrovertible fact that it does not injury the two. It makes you think of 'ouch' and draw back somewhat. it extremely is approximately it. inspite of the incontrovertible fact that I actual have an okay point of discomfort tolerance. for somebody who cries at a paper decrease it might possibly injury a good bit. in case your budgie does bite you do no longer shrink back or instruct that it hurts, using fact in case you do you're coaching it to bite whilst it needs you to go away. additionally, while you try to tame your budgie you need to no longer get it able the place it feels the might desire to bite you. you need to tame your budgie at a %. it instruments. in case you concepts-set it or placed your hand close to it and apparently like it is going to bite then you end going in direction of it. do no longer pull lower back straight away away. go away your hand the place it is for a 2nd. If the poultry nonetheless seems distressed then crawl away. the point of taming you budgie is getting it to believe you. to try this you'll possibly be able to desire to take it sluggish and attempt to no longer scare your poultry. seem up some guidance concepts and do somewhat examine. stable success!

Mating season. The call of the wild. All indoor birds are nuts right now. It will pass in a few weeks or so.

my roommate got a parakeet 2 months ago, it did the same thing, why? i dont know, putting a sheet over his cage will shut him up, but i dont suggest leaving the sheet of the cage for more than a couple hours. unless your going to bed.
