Question
hi!
my baby budgies usually dont run away from me but whenever i touch them they start squaking really loud. they let me pet them and stop when i start to smoothen their feathers. why are they doing this? also their parents is always running away from me but  not the baby parakeets. why?

Answer
Hello Katelyn,

The baby budgies aren't used to you yet, they find you ask a scary monster. But once you start to comfort them, they calm down. My adult budgies run away from me too, it's normal, but you should consider yourself lucky that the babies aren't afraid of you. Congratulations on the baby budgies, I'll be expecting more baby budgies any day now as well!
