What does m budgies behaviour imply?

She sounds like she's thinking about breeding. :) Birds are VERY in tune with the seasonal cycles, and the days starting to get longer makes them think it's time to start breeding. Also, an abundance of water (for instance, baths or rain) can help trigger this. They're also more likely to look for nesting materials at this time (broom bristles, threads, pieces of wood, wicker, soft things, etc.)

It also explains her aggressiveness. Female budgies, when they get into this breeding mindset, will sometimes become aggressive. They will seek to protect their nesting areas (even if it doesn't look like a nesting space to you, she may see a favorite spot as that), and in doing so, they'll often become aggressive.

You don't have to get her a mate or anything. I don't recommend breeding them. There are things you can do which may help, though. While there's nothing wrong with her taking baths (they are good for her and help keep her clean), try not to let them take a lot. Perhaps you could get her a different kind of water container (there are bottles and things you can clip to the side of the cage that they can drink of without getting into or dirtying up the water). The main thing you can do is lengthen her sleeping time to about the same time it was in the winter (they need 10-12 hours of sleep per night). Perhaps if you need to put her to bed and it's still light outside, you can close the curtains and cover her cage, or give her a smaller, easily-transported cage to sleep in. You'd then take this cage to a darkened room so that she could get her sleep.

It is normal for them to chew all times of the year, though, and chewing alone isn't necessarily nesting behavior. But the fact that she's been bathing a lot (plentiful water triggers breeding behavior because in the wild, it means food is plentiful) and has been acting aggressive, I'd say it's nesting behavior. Once the breeding season passes, you won't have to worry about this kind of thing as much, and she'll most likely return to normal. But the things I've mentioned can help. (Those things are generally done to avoid egg-laying, too.)

Oh, and another thing to discourage it. Don't give her a lot of chewy toys. Give her toys, yes, but don't give her toys right now that encourage nest-building. Things that are made of straw, wicker, etc., can encourage nest-building, also. Do give her toys, though, which don't encourage preening/nesting. Other times of the year, though, these toys are fine and she can have them.

Budgies Behaviour

Here is your answer. Your budgie just needs a bit of training. what has happened is that the budgies, now in its second home, does not identify its cage as its place of residence. Budgies can get spoiled and beging to fell as tho they own the entire house, flying freely at will, and returning to their cage only when THEY desire. This is not good.and must be broken. It is fine to let him out to fly for a period of time each day...but his place..is his cage. You should let him out less often till he begins to identify that his cage is his 1st home. I allow my parakeet open door freedom on his cage all day, and he comes out the door and climbs his cage to the top to play there. He will once a day take a spin about the room to stretch his wings, and he will sit on my finger etc...but he is always eager to return to his place of security...his cage. Keep him in more often for a while, I recomment you clip his wings if necessary which will keep him on his cage, and not flying about the room. Feathers will grow back in 6 months, and by then he may be more learned and accustomed to his cage as his hone base. If you do not brake him of this, he will become more aggressive and will stop listening to you, refusing to return to his cage when you need him to do so. In time, he will be like mine, who has full flight, but uses it only to stretch his wings with several trips about the room, or to hanf on a favorite picture frame...but always eager to return to his cage where all the comforts of home are! Good luck!

To keep her safe you should have her wings clipped so she won't fly into widows, walls etc. Also, it will keep her from getting into things she shouldn't. It will make her MORE dependent on you which is exactly what you want. If they have too much rein of the house etc. & don't need to depend on you, she'll do just what she's doing now, become aggressive! All birds LOVE to CHEW! if you value your curtains, & things you'll have her wings clipped! Also, birds love to take baths. I'm (61) now & have had plenty of diff. birds. I now have a Senegal parrot, & a Blue Quaker Parrot. I give them showers once a week, (with me)! & they get soaked to the skin! Ha I dry them off with toilet tissue, which soaks up the water really well. Just last night my wife was getting a glass of water at the kitchen sink, Max, (Senegal) wanted some, & after he had his fill he decided to take a bath in it! Ha I wish I could send you some picts. of them, cause I took a couple last night of him. We can handle them in any manner without any resistance from them. They lay in the palms of our hands etc. Their just incredible!!!
