Thanks for appreciating ❤️

Thank you..

The baby is fully grown now

Best of luck

Greetings! It's tough to domesticate them once they are adult but not impossible. Good luck buddy..

As I mentioned, these budgies were straight from my friends aviary. They were not all tamed when I bought them. However, they were juveniles and not adults, this helped in the training process. Thnx

Thank you. I stay in Hyd, India

Good question! I have stopped enjoying vacation for a long time since I got them. I call my parents are at my place, when I have to travel. They love the baby's equally and takes good care of them.

Thanks

I wouldn't call 3 hours patience. But a fellow bird lover, nothing but good wishes.

Don't keep them on the same cage otherwise they will bond with each other and not bond with you. Separate cage is good till they both bond with you individually.

@@TweeTy_and_Blue okay i will buy another cage and try this

Thank you!! ❣️

Somethings are not in our hand. I lost one of my babies recently. I'm sure you have been a great Bird mom.. 😊

So what food does the baby love?

@@TweeTy_and_Blue he's only seed and water, I tried strawberry, didn't want to know about it, ima try again a little later

@@TweeTy_and_Blue he's also not hand raised, he's a pet shop bird, and was put in his own, apparently he bit, but he's not a biter

True.. I mentioned that already.. Adult birds are very difficult to tame..

@@TweeTy_and_Blue but it is still possible, but you cannot explain it in a single video. I am actually planning to make a series about taming and training adult budgies, but in german, as there are almost no good sources on that topic here in germany.

@@MisterTene can u do in english too pls?

Thank you!!

Good Luck Allen.. ❣️ Appreciate your words!!

@@TweeTy_and_Blue thank you very much dear for your golden appreciation. God bless you always 🙏👍🦜🙏👍

Sounds great!

Take one at a time.. Don't provide any kind of seeds inside the cage. Only provide soft food and pellets. Use millets and other seeds as treat and only offer seeds on hand not bowls. Hope that helps sorry about the late reply, I was busy.. Note: adult birds are adamant and difficult to tame or train.. So these may be a longer process. But I have seen people taming adult birds with patience. Please avoid seeds inside cage or in bowl, they need to learn that millets/seeds are only available from your hand and it is safe to eat from your hand.

Possible..

Thanks! But my bird Is now safe in the cage what do I do 🤕

Don't pay attention when she bites. Treat her when she doesn't bite so that she understands that she gets ignored when she bites and treats when she doesn't..

Thank you..

Again it depends, some birds lay eggs on the feeding box, some looks for a safe place. Sometimes they don't lay eggs even after mating until they are convinced that there eggs will be safe. So if you don't want babies then don't provide them a breeding box.

@@TweeTy_and_Blue oh ok then i kinda dont want rn plus my mom wont but it for me

I got a bird a few months ago and it took him a while to get comfortable going on my hand. And if you have more than 1 untamed birds, I heard it might take a little longer to fully tame them because they distract each other.

Keep trying, be very patient. Give them treats when they do something well. 🐦💕

here is what you need to do / understand: When you use food to get your birds to your hand, it is called luring. It teaches your birds, that they can risk going to your hand to grab the food, and then get away. To get them to stay therte you need to break this circe. First introduce a bridge to your training. This can be a clicker that is used in dog training, but also a word, but it should not be a word, that your birds here all the day - (so "good bird" is a bad choice as you probably use that all the time) and it needs to be short. You could use the word "bridge". Then train the meaning of this word to your birds - just say bridge and give them food. Repeat that 10 times or so, until when you say bridge you notice them looking around for the food, that they expect to come. 2nd step is to target train them. You can use a chop stick. Bring the stick close to them, and if they get curious and touch it with their beak, you click or "bridge" and give them food. Once they reliably touch the chopstick, start to use that stick to lure them around. Go in small approximations. first so that they need to lean to touch it, then until they need to walk some steps to touch it etc... And everytime they touch it, bridge and give them their favorite treat. Once they do that reliable, use the stick to get them close to your hand or finger, hold the stick, so that they need to touch your hand to get to it, and finally until they need to step on your hand. By doing it this way, they learn what you want and they start to realize, that if they do what you ask, they will receive food. this will build your trust. If you can get them onto your hand with the stick, slowly remove the stick from the equation by bridging and rewarding the moment they touch / step on you before they get to the stick. repeat that until they realize, that holding your hand before them is the command to step up. Then extend the time between them stepping onto you and you bridging and rewarding them. First to 1 second, then to two seconds and so on. Then once they stay on you for 10 seconds or more start to watch their body language while they are on your hand. If they relax, like preening, fluff up or something like that, you bridge that and reward only that, so that in their heads staying on your hand while being calm and relaxed gets combined into one behavior. then you will have budgies that love to chill on your hand and you will get trouble actually removing them from there.

@@green7woodtriangle883 multiple birds 100% makes it harder. I got a second budgie about a week after my first. I work a lot, and I felt bad for only having roughly 3 hours in the evening to spend with him. Carla or Happy (yes, they are named after the exceeds in fairy tail) would make noise or do something, and the other would blame me. One would start screaming and the one trying to interact with me would go to the other. It’s honestly a pain. Here I am like 6 months out, and they trust me enough to eat out of my hand, step up if they’re in the floor and want back up, or to bridge over to my conure’s cage, but that’s about it. Tbh, I think adding a larger bird that constantly wanted to be on me, and tried to play with them without realizing how aggressive he was coming across also terrified them, and likely caused some trust issues. I’ve had my conure for a month less than them, and he bonded with me in about 2 weeks. He’s a nippy little cuddle bug now. Tbh, I would not recommend budgies to someone who’s new to birds. Budgies are just too finicky. They’re really easy to spook, and they’re not very forgiving. Conures are a bad choice if you have small kids (bitey little buggers, but I love them). Conures are super loving, energetic goofballs, and they’re much more forgiving and less likely to be spooked, but I cannot recommend them as starters just bc of how nippy they are. If anyone reading this is looking at getting their first bird, I’d recommend a cockatiel, so long as you have several hours to spend with them each day. They seem to bond pretty easy, have big personalities, love spending time with their owners, and enjoy singing and dancing. They’re the perfect balance between budgies and conures, and their price point is also in the middle.

The brown stuff is the "cere" with nostrils. Brown indicates a ready to breed female. And blue indicates a ready to breed male.

TBH I've never tried to tame an older Bird. I do mention in my videos, that I either get a hand reared older bird or a baby bird to tame myself. Once a bird is old and bonded to another bird getting them bonded to human is difficult. It may take upto 6 months and will need a lot of patience. The best way to start with is stop giving seeds as regular foods. Give the fresh fruits, vegetables as regular food. Use the seeds as a treat and only offer seeds in your hand. They won't be able to resist the temptation and hopefully will trust and eat from your hand. Depending on how much time you give them the taming process may vary. Also talk to them softly while offering seeds and be calm and make slow movements. Hope it helps.

The name love birds is more popular and sounds cool to the customers. Hence they use it.

@@TweeTy_and_Blue wait so the budgies they sell arent actually in love with each other

You should have been patient and given more time.. An adult budgie cannot be tamed in short time. It takes a lot of time and patience

@@TweeTy_and_Blue how can i make her trust me again

@@TweeTy_and_Blue my bird female she came out of the cage again she stayed for 1 hour and went in by herself

Yes but ensure the room is bird safe. And you should be prepared to get them back to you if they don't come when called. Because step up and recall is different

@@TweeTy_and_Blue well actually something happened when i was in school my brother opened the bird cage and the female bird came out of it and started walking then she quickly went back into the cage also what do i do if they fly away how do i get them back

Don't leave them in open. Only take them out of cage in a room where they can't fly outside

Thanks

Thank you.

Every Bird is different. They havr their own personalities just like us human. So not every tamed bird will let you scratch their head. Even Jr. Tweety, you see in the video, he also doesn't like head scratch. But you can try with gentle approach, when she is eating from your hand try to give her a head scratch.

@@TweeTy_and_Blue can you give your email or what app to contact with you

Glad it helped.

Make sure you buy a big enough cage for two budgies with perches and toys that are safe, not some small piece of crap cage either like some people have...🤦‍♂️ Do some research, and give your budgies a healthy diet from time to time, not just fatty seeds. Good luck!!

It's a long process to explain here.. Please DM me here facebook.com/twee.ty.3304673

Repeat the process I shared on DM, unless they are no longer scared of your hands or fingers. As I said it is a job of patience.

@@TweeTy_and_Blue wait they are still scared of my hand i thought they aren't anymore since they are sitting on it more often and eating from it

@@percypercyjackson try holding a treat in one hand and your finger in front of it as a way to get to the treat
