What games should I play with a Budgie?

I am going to buy a budgie when my Grandfather can move back to his own house in GA. (it’s a long story.) I know there are advantages and disadvantages of buying one or two budgies, but I decided that just one fits my needs best. So, what are some good games to play to keep him happy and entertained? And what should I do when I’m not at home? I doubt he’ll be lonely very much, since I’m homeschooled and I have five siblings who are all so good with animals. The only other pet I have is a Yorkshire Terrier. I did have a hamster but he just passed away very recently. So yeah, thanks in advance!

Answer #1

Make sure you hold and play with your bird quite often to get him used to being handled. I’ve had a couple parakeets over the years and I never made a bond with any of them. They would squawk and flutter around every time I put my hand in the cage and they weren’t very friendly. Taming them from a young age is essential.

Answer #2

This person’s video series has a whole bunch of budgie-friendly tricks and games. Here’s a medley of some of them, set to a rather inappropriate hard-rockin’ soundtrack:
