Budgie
My budgies are so lazy how i made them to bite and fight me
Question:
Answer:
Hi,
I know you are joking because you should never try to make a bird bite or fight. Birds are prey animals and this type interaction with a bird would constitute animal cruelty. To the bird, you are a predator trying to kill them if you antagonize a bird to the point that it fights back. Birds are never lazy, but they can certainly lack the toys and space to encourage them to get exercise. Birds need a large cage that allows them to be able to fly, as well as a variety of toys. Teaching them to forage for food is a great way to encourage exercise. I’ll give you a link to a webinar that offers ideas for encouraging healthy exercise. But if your interest is in making them bite you, then you need to give them away to a loving home.
Thank you for asking Lafeber,
Brenda
