No matter how tired I am after long day at work, but Kyba does this each day I get home and it just perks me right up. I open the cage door and as I'm setting it on the floor he usually is already climbing out on to the door and climbing on to my hand. I'm still in uniform and I'll set him down on the bed to change. He usually jumps on to my hip clings to my shirt or wont let go of my finger. So I'm having to change with one hand and him on my other. we venture to the couch sit down and watch tv for a few. When he's ready he goes off looking for one of his balls to toss it around for a while. I find it funny and some what laugh at him watch him getting exited chasing it down sitting on my butt grabbing it with both legs and beak, rolling over trying to who knows what to or with it. I loves tossing it on the tile bouncing it off the door and wall. its like he tried his hardest to throw it so hard just to hear how loud the bell rings. when he's had enough fun he usually will run back and join me on the couch and try and sleep on my arm I think he thinks I might let him sleep outside of his cage the entire night. for me this is what I look forward to see when I'm fixing to get off to see if he'll do some thing different. It makes me think that just as much as I've missed him he misses seeing me the way he comes climbing out his cage and before bed he comes back join me on the couch.

I too enjoy your stories! Does Kylie stay in her cage during this? It's similar to mine and Lucy's routine. I'll come in to get changed and she'll fly to me so I put her on her play top until I change then I'll sit on my bed and she will be on my shoulder until get up and leave or put her back in her cage for the night

she is in the cage with Kyba. when we wake up he is calling me to get her with him in his cage. almost like he misses her company. I left them in separate cages on day 1 when I went to work and when I let them out when I got home they both went right to each other as soon as the doors came open. so they are only separated at night. Last night when I got home and opened the cage up they both just sat on the front perch and just looked me. Kyba didn't even come out until I came back in and sat on the couch, but he went straight for his ball, so I went to my laptop. this is what happened next after I wasn't paying attention to him after just 10 minutes. so of course I picked both of them up and sat on the couch for few mintues until they went to the cage for the night.

Was Kyba hand-raised by a breeder? That is wonderful that he loves to be with you so much. no he wasn't I got him from the pet store Dec 11 2011. he was the newest budgie in the store the day I got him he was starting his 2nd week there. I hand tamed him myself. the day I got him I took off a whole week to bond with him. for those that have not heard it yet here's Kyba's and my story.
For years since march of 1998 I have dealt with dizziness and headaches so bad I had trouble standing and walkings at time times. I knew how pets help the sick plus I meet a friends budgie who talked and wanted one too. By May of 2012 all those dizzy spells and headaches were gone. My mom noticed the change in me first in March of 2012 when she'd ask how my head was feeling and I tell her Im not as dizzy. By May they were gone, and the only thing different in my life was Kyba and our bond and then Kylie. though she is more for him but we hand tamed her ourselves also.
Dec 11, 2011 after a week or so of debating to or not I decided to get a budgie. Saturday morning I decided I wanted one so I went to a local mom n pop store in town. when I came around the corner and the birds saw me EVERY bird in every cage went nuts jumping and flying and screeching so loud and so afraid except for this tiny tiny blue one with a yellow patch on the back of his head. He just sat there calm as can be with his side and back to me just looking at me turning his head from side to side. I told the lady that one the blue one with the yellow patch on his head I want him. when we got home around 10amish I set up his little cage set it on the edge of the coffee table and sat next to it just talking to him softly and looking his way every few minutes. by early that afternoon he was standing right next to me on my side of the cage. So I figured he is already coming near me I"ll try and get him use to my hand so I put it in his cage and just let it rest there. By 4 or 5pm he steps up on to my fingers and just sets thee not shaking or nervous trembling. we watched tv all day and all night. If I had to get up I slowly pulled my hand out but of course when he felt my hand move he just steps off. when I put it back in again he steps right back up.
The next morning was the same routine. Though I was shocked at 12pm I went to pull my hand out and he ACTUALLY came out on my finger. when he was completely out he walks right to my shoulder and just sat there while I walked around my apartment. We went in to the kitchen to use the microwave, walked in to my room to get him use to that area too. He was a big boy was not shaking or trembling nervously. He even playing tag on my shoulders when I tried to get him on my hand again. I think that's where he learned that from when I try and put him back in the cage to leave. I was totally surprised being I read it would take a minimum a week to hand tame a baby budgie and gain his trust. Kyba bonded with me in just a few hours and was hand tamed just as fast. and even longer for them to learn to talk. Kyba said his first 3 word phrase on March 2012 the night he meet Kylie for the first time. He said "Hey buddy buddy" the next morning it was "pretty bird" in just a few more months he learned "stop biting, youre ok be nice stop it stop that no biting, come here step up what are you doing, whats up buddy. theses were the same phrases I said to him daily all day since I got him n he let me take him out the cage on the next morning together. he now learns from me and from all the tv we watch or he watches while im at work. he knows when im home his cage is supposed to be open if its not he lets me know. he knows when I'm home if he wants my attention he gets it even if I'm napping on the couch he wakes me up the hard way if I don't notice him climbing up to me and or standing on my chest. he gets my lip good and of course I usually sit up after the 2nd nip of my lip.
That's our beginning together. hope you enjoyed our story and I hope you all are as fortunate as I am with Kyba. I hope your bond is as close as ours. oh yeah kyba has taught kylie to say a few 2 n 3 word phrases he knows.
