Budgies are very cute birds
And they do the craziest things
One thing budgie parents see their cute little birds do is flip!
Question that comes to mind is – Why does a budgie do a flip?
The answer to this is because they’re crazy!
Kidding
It’s a sign that your budgie is really happy c
Some budgies will act all crazy and do some crazy things in their cage because they want to come out so this could be an indication your birdie wants to come out of the cage and fly about
Nothing to worry about at all
You have a fun and confident bird which is great!
In this article we’re going to go into much detail about this I guess awesome behavior well crazy too
Why Does My Budgie Flip On It’s Back?
They do this because they’re happy!
Or it’s just your budgies personality to do crazy things I guess
There is nothing to worry about at all
They’re just having fun in their cage
Another thing it could mean is, your budgie may want to come out of their cage and explore
If your bird has never been out of the cage then this could be the perfect to time to allow them
Do make sure it’s gradually and take lots of precaution
I actually talk about this in my article – Budgie out of cage for the first time
Your budgie is not crazy so don’t think this
It’s actually a good thing because it shows your budgie is active and having some fun
That means they are healthy and happy!
You see, budgies are very playful little creatures and they do some of the craziest stunts
Both in the cage and out of the cage too
One thing to note is make sure there is plenty of space in the cage because you don’t want your little birdie to get hurt when they’re doing flips
You could add more perches and swings – Your budgie will love that
Your Budgie Is Scared Of You
If you are stretching your arm into the cage to try and get your budgie to sit on your finger and your budgie reacts by doing flips, this could be a sign your budgie is scared
This happens when a budgie is new
So take your time and let your bird feel more comfortable with their new surroundings then gradually see if your budgie sits on your finger
Don’t force anything as this could delay things
Another pretty cool thing budgies do is dance!
What does it mean when your budgie dances?
Let’s find out
What Does It Mean When a Budgie Dances?
You’ve probably seen your little cute budgie dance
And by that I mean, bobbing their head up and down
It actually looks cool and can put a smile on anyone’s face
But what does it mean when they bob their head up and down?
Well, if you have a male parakeet and he’s doing this funny dance it means they are attracting any female parakeets that’s nearby
You could call it a mating dance
So if you have a female budgie nearby or in another cage, your male budgie is pretty much trying to get her attention
Similar to what I do! (Kidding! Lol!)
Anyways, unless you want baby budgies, it’s best to keep them separate for the time being
Another possible reason for head bobbing is territorial aggression
They want to show and warn other budgies around that this area belongs to them!
Boredom could be another reason too
You should try to keep your budgies entertained as much as possible
Have a large bird cage so you can add a variety of toys to keep them busy
Another budgie is always a good idea too because they are very sociable birds
As mentioned earlier, allowing your budgie out of cage time gives your bird some freedom to fly about
Wrapping Up
Budgies doing flips can be pretty cool to look at
Good thing is, there’s nothing to worry about as this is normal
You may just have a very cool budgie with an awesome personality
Maybe allowing your budgie out of the cage would be a good idea
