Talk to your veterinarian about safety during these excursions. Most budgies have the wings clipped during taming, but are allowed flight later on. If you need help trimming the wing feathers, ask your veterinarian or pet retailer. Many Hagen cages are easily disassembled to allow ready removal of the newly clipped young budgie for taming and training sessions. You may wish to remove any swings from the cage until tame, and you should add natural branches to the cage to supplement the standard perches.
Fresh branches are great for perching and chewing - try willow, alder, ash, birch, or apple.
Just remove the leaves and replace every 4-6 weeks. Louise Bauck BSc, DVM, MVSc.
