Budgies are the most popular pet birds. The advantages of this small climbing bird species are that they are lively, naughty and cute, and easy to be close to people and easy to tame. However, many bird keepers will have many questions when they first start to raise budgies, such as why the newly bought birds always like to hang tightly on the cage, or even hang upside down? How to change their bad habits?
In fact, as a climbing bird, for budgies, hanging will make them feel safer. This is not a bad habit, but an instinct. Many budgies that have just been bought home are unfamiliar with the new home environment. When they feel insecure, they like to do this. This is a common phenomenon. After a while, they will get better by themselves after getting familiar with the new environment. In addition, if there are multiple birds in the same cage, budgies may also do this when they are excluded, and even hang upside down, which seems very unique.
If it still does this after raising it for a long time, it may be a habit, or it may have come up with it. Of course, some careless owners may forget to hang a longer standing pole on the bird cage, which can also cause the bird to have this phenomenon. Just put a standing pole near the top so that the bird has a place to stand.
Some birds may have more personality. I have seen a budgie that likes to hang upside down on the top of the cage to sleep after turning off the lights. Even if the owner turns on the lights, it doesn't like to move and will only come down after being patted on the butt a few times with your fingers.
