Now that I've had Budgies for a while I realise that some of
the information about mirrors is erroneous. So many say that you shouldn't have a mirror with a Budgie.
I took that very seriously & took Laker's away when I got him. That was pretty cruel.
I'm not sure but its loss may have helped us bond & spiked his interest in all of us. The mirror was his only bud. When he was out of the cage he headed to our mirrors. I ended up using the mirror to train him - he'd do anything to get to the
Budgie in the Mirror. That's how I tricked him into stepping on to my hand.
The mirror Budgie also told me he
needed more Budgie interaction. A basic need. Even with Rio around they both enjoy visiting a mirror Budgie. Never enough Budgies in their minds I'm sure.
I love to take photos by the mirror - you get the front &back views of your birds at the same time.
Hope to seem more photos Nancy - they are lovely birds
