Question
Hi its me again i was wondering what kind of nuts do budgies eat?
oh and i got my budgie a boyfriend and they really like each other after 5 minutes when i put them in the cage together even though the girl still has eggs and lays on them but the boy is fine with that.How should i train the new budgie to not bite (hes fine with me touching him in the cage but when i take him out he bites really hard and doesn't let go for a long time what should i do?)
Budgies are not birds to be held usually unless you clip there wings.
Hold seeds in your hand or offer them to him when you take him out of the cage. Eventually he will get that being out of the cage means he gets something he wants. Stick to it and do it everyday.

Expertise
I can answer questions on breeding, illness, housing, diet, color mutations, genetics, and many others. I find budgies to be one of the most wonderful bird species to own as a pet. If I do not know the answer to you question, which is indeed a rare event, I will do my best to research and find the best answer to your question. I have dedicated my life to budgies and now I'm prepared to give back and help the community with their budgies as well. These birds are so wonderful there is an endless amount of information to know about them. I learn new things from budgies every day that I spend with them. If you have a question, please do not hesitate to ask. You will not be disappointed with the feedback.
