Why?
Because to put them back in their cage can be a mission!
And if you’re struggling right now with this problem, you know exactly what I’m talking about
The good news is, you can still get your parakeet in it’s cage
It’s just going to require effort and patience
So if you are looking to have your little birdie in their cage then you’re going to love this article

Let’s get started!
Untamed Budgie Out It’s Cage – Here’s What You Should Do
Your budgie is flying about in the house
I get it
You wanted your budgie to explore and be free
The thing is, they’re not tamed so now you’ve got a problem
Your birdie does not want to go back to their cage
Not to worry
Here’s some methods you can use to solve this problem
Night Light Trick
What’s the night light trick?
It’s to make your bird feel that their cage is their home
Here’s what you do
When it’s night and it’s time for your birdie to go to sleep
They usually sleep in their cage
Place a night light near your budgies cage
You could place it inside the cage but I think it would be better near the cage
Close all the lights
Your budgie will think it’s time for bed when they see the night light shining
And if they think of their cage as their home (hopefully) they will fly right back in and sit on their favorite perch to get some sleep
And voila!
Your budgie is back in it’s cage
Treat Time!
Budgies love treats!
I mean which pet doesn’t
I love my chocolate too
Budgies love fruits and this can be given to them as a treat
You know your birdie better than me
So whatever your budgies favorite treat is you can use this as bait
Try to get your budgies attention and show him you’ve got a treat
Make sure he knows that you’ve placed the treat in the cage and he’s seen you do it
Put the treat in the cage and then simply walk away
As soon as your budgie goes to get the treat you can quickly close the door
Hunger
If your budgie has been out of their cage for a long time
He will eventually get hungry and want food
Make sure there is no food lying around in the house for your budgie to eat
Leave the cage door open and place their food bowl inside the cage
When your birdie gets hungry, he will eventually go into their cage to eat
You can then simply close the door whilst they’re eating away!
Perch
Another method you can use to try and get your budgie to stand on the perch
Untamed budgies may not want to stand on a perch so if this is the case then it might not work
But you can still give it a go and see how your bird responds
If your bird is not scared and responds calmly then you could place a treat on the perch to try and lure your budgie to step onto the perch
Then slowly whilst your bird is on the perch move the perch slowly back to their cage
Let your budgie stand on another perch and then close the door
What You Should Do When Your Budgie Is Flying Around The House
If your untamed budgie is just flying about in the house
It’s very important to keep all windows and doors closed
Look for any hazards that might be dangerous to your budgie and remove it
The last thing you want is your birdie to fly out of the window or through the door
Or get hurt in the household
Try to make it as safe as possible for your budgie
Whatever you do, don’t shout at your budgie or get angry
This will just stress your budgie out and get him scared
Try to stay calm and try your best to get your birdie back in their cage using the methods I’ve talked about
Can You Let a Budgie Out Of Their Cage?
Yes of course and it’s something you should do all the time

They can also become overweight
When you do let your budgie out of their cage make sure you’ve taken all the precautionary methods such as closing windows and doors
