I have had Yuki, my budgie for 4 years, he is estimated to be around 6 years old. He had a companion who sadly passed away 2 years ago, I haven't been able to get another budgie since. I have always been debating whether to rehome him so he can be with some other budgies, but I haven't. Just for context, he has never been interested in my human companionship, I've always been there for him and respected his boundaries but he showed no interest in stepping up or training other than some simple target training.
That was until 3 days ago, I got home from work and it was like he was switched out with another budgie. He is all over me, much more active, talkative and I've already taught him many tricks. He isn't afraid to fly around all the time and explore places he never did previously!
I was wondering if others had experienced something similar. I always try my absolute best to give him as much attention as possible, with lots of australian natives, foraging options, chop and fun toys. I'm so proud of him, I don't even have words. I'm thinking it could be hormones, but he has been through many cycles and molts without acting like this!
