I've had bigger birds for decades. Blueberry reminds me how cute and strong-minded budgies are.
It’s also interesting that a bird might be more likely to fly or hop to you rather than stepping up to a hand close to it. That makes sense since getting too close might be perceived as a threat.
I'm considering adopting either pigeons or budgies soon (I've had budgies before - and I successfully taught them to step up! not bad for a 12-year-old). So, A) I'm loving all the recent budgie content and, B) I know you all don't specialize in pigeons and doves, but if you ever did one or two of these short 2-3 min videos about how to target train pigeons or doves, I would be so happy. I imagine the foundational principles are the same, but there may be some differences, and it would help knowing a bit from the experts before I go in. And if you didn't, well, I'm here for all the bird content regardless, haha. I love all the feathered things.
I also had the pleasure this week of visiting Ronie's For the Love of Birds! Dominic was super generous with his time and we had a great visit (and we talked about the great work BirdTricks is doing, of course). I picked up a few of your pins, too. Thanks for all your work!

I think BirdTricks has some content on doves, since they use them in their excellent magic act. Check out some of their earlier videos which show their act. I'm sure you'll be impressed with all their doves do for the act.
My compliments on your literate command of our language. I'm sure you will go far in whatever direction you choose. I belong to a writers' organization and there are many published authors and writers who don't speak as well as you have, above (they re editors).
Happy Sunday 😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄
🤣🤣🤣 the intro got me!
I'm expecting my frist Budgie and I can 't wait! I have been watching a lot of video's so I know how to start working with him.
Great keep safe all 🐦♥️
So Cute Hand tamed Budgie I too have same colour budgies at my home very nice video thanks for sharing
@@tamesidee Really
I don’t have a budgie but my cockatiel learned so many tricks and is really treat motivated but since I got him as an adult and I don’t know much about his background I don’t think he was socialized well with humans. He won’t let me touch him and is very reluctant to step up to my hand. He will step up to a hand held perch though. He has learned to trust me a bit since I got him and now allows me to kiss him on the beak and he will step on my finger with one foot. I just can’t seem to get him to trust me enough to allow touching or a full step up but maybe someday... I’m amazed at the progress we’ve made because this was a bird that would not even allow a human hand or face near him at first. He still doesn’t trust anyone else but me and he doesn’t trust me 100% but at least I’ve gained some trust in the last year and a half since I got him. My other cockatiel was a hand fed baby and she stepped up pretty much since day one so I think a bird’s background makes a big difference.
Yes the background certainly does make a difference
and some birds will alway be more scared (not saying it’s not possible always try your hardest)
But yes my Guinea pigs (never been held before and very little human contact) took 10 months to trust me one of them is still a bit scared I’m working on it though
“Don’t leave me” 😭
I have six budgies, they are not really tame but respond well to training. As I (for the moment) can’t separate them do you have any tips for training a flock?
I noticed you didn't use a clicker with Blueberry?
What can you use as a jackpot reward for a budgie?
For small birds, is there something in their physiology or the physics of flight that just makes it that much easier/instinctive for them to fly as opposed to step up "one foot at a time?" As an example for humans for instance, I think it's much easier/instinctive for us to climb stairs one foot at a time rather than hopping up each one.
I'm with you. Budgies are native to Australia and they hop, jump and fly their tiny little bods onto things. Stepping up takes too long. They would get them eaten by a kookaburra or tawny frogmouth so it makes no sense to them physiologically. I also have a rainbow lorikeet that hops. When she tries to walk she does a weird little hop step. She literally can't do anything else. I dont make her step up. I get her to hop on by placing a gap between my offered hand and the perch.
Yea, my budgie won't step up, but he jumps my hand from the cage, 😅 it looks so cute when he's in , " ima coming to you" 😊
@@helenellsworth9556 that is seriously cute
Do you have any cockatiel specific videos? Or do these videos work universally?
I believe these videos work universally for all birds. I don’t recall BirdTricks ever working with cockatiels… maybe one or two… now that you mention it, cockatiels are a very popular bird so maybe BirdTricks should jump on that cockatiel train 🚂
my bird is young and stubborn :( it used to hop but now she is scared of fingers
What about how to get a bird to go from clicker training in the cage, to clicker training outside the cage, especially when she won't "station" outside the cage, please?
There’s a complete budgie training course offered in the description box.
Oh I soo need your help I got a 8 week old budgie 2 and a half weeks ago I bought him as hand tame he will step up in the cage but won't let me take him out of the cage on my hand however he will come out and fly about a few times on his own he will let me tickle his head when he feels like it sometimes he is not so keen and backs off he will also eat from my hand occasionally but I am hoping to get the kind of bond where he will come out of his cage and interact with me I know he is very young and its early days and I think I probably made a few mistakes with him when I first got him but I am trying my best the breeder basically showed me me kinda grab him and take him out which I now know is wring I don't do that no more im trying to let him decide but any advice from anyone is much appreciated xx
My budgie comes perfectly for the millet and takes a bite then gets mad and starts biting when I take the rest of the millet stick away..??
Try offering your budgie just one piece of millet
My budgies nipped at each other yesterday when I put my cheek up to them for kisses.
No Trust
I bought a 9 week old parrotlet and she is scared to fly.
She has probably had past trauma (probably fell from a hand so associates hands with unsteadiness)
or was clipped
It will take longer but I promise if you work on it it will happen don’t give up or think it’s impossible it took 10 months for my birds to warm up to me but now there really friendly good luck!🤞
She's 5 months old now and I don't think she knows she's a bird.

Can male budgies breed with their sister?
Why would you ask that..
because I want to breed budgies
@@Soniccars_01 I don't think budgies would want to breed with their sisters...plus the babies would come out weird because they share the same genetic information..
thanks for your reply
I wouldn’t expect birds to have the same moral taboos that we have. I’d keep brother and sister birds apart just in case. Can a bird even tell that another bird is its sibling?
