I'm currently hand taming one of my budgies, just want to say this video is providing some very useful information! I'm finding that it is useful to talk calmly to your bird during the process. Thanks for the video!
This really works and now I am writting this coment with my two budgies sitting on my shoulders my ducky looks exactly like you bird nice video I really love thank you for two more friends in this lockdown of covid -19
Thank you for your video! It was calm and easy going. You had great tips that I hope work for my birdie. He is so scared, that everyday it’s like he just sees me for the first time. It’s like 50 first dates! Or Groundhog’s Day!😂
My budgies does not like to get on my hand even though i have treats or millets on my hand😞 they get too scared and stay at a corner at a cage can you please help me 😞😔😢 it will mean a lot to me
Fernando Leite he has specific spots where he actually lands. He does poop wherever he lands but it’s really easy to clean up. Their poop isn’t messy like bigger birds. You can just vacuum it up,
You can train your budgie to not poop on carpets or furniture. Besides, it's actually very easy to clean up- just wipe it or when it dries you can flick it off.
I have found it easier to get the bird to eat spray millet from your hand rather than seed. Also, I like to get the bird out of the cage before I try to get them to step up. I will usually just open the door to the cage and wait the bird out. It also helps to leave the room for a little bit and I’ll just find the bird on top of the cage. If none of that works I’ll either lure them out with a treat, or this isn’t an option for most people but I’ll bring another bird in the room that will want to fly around because usually if one bird flies the other one will too. Once the bird is on top of the cage it’s easier to get them to step on your hand and they won’t get territorial. The bird will also find it rewarding if you put them in the cage because they’ll associate your hand with the security of the cage.
this video is really helpful for me, i got my budgies a few days ago and all ive done is put my hand in the cage but now im gonna try these steps so hopefully they will soon get used to me and ill be able to hold them and be with me whenever i need company whenever i study at night
Joy The leafeon nice, yeah it will take some time. Although my budgie is tame and I’ve had him for almost a year, he still surprises me by doing new funny things. Good luck!
Nice video, thanks for sharing. He is a really pretty bird and you keep his cage nice and clean, I'm going to try this with my budgies. I have 2 young untamed budgies and a tame cockatiel baby, but one of my budgies is being aggressive to the cockatiel, so I'm going to put him in a separate cage next to my desk and try to tame him, because the other two are getting along pretty well :)
such beautifull bird... actualy i done same steps with my budgie but she always bites and when i put her on my finger she stand for few seconds then she fly away she would never let me touch her and her bites hurt i really don't know what to do with her :(
Pink Blossom She obviously doesn’t have your trust yet. I would recommend starting from the beginning or at least go back to step 2. Does she stress when you get close to the cage? Then you should go back all the way to step 1
AllesEnNogWat she stopped biting she let me touch her and hold her i don't put her in cage btw i put her on my computer when i work we watch tv together too i getting her trust slowly the only prblm is ''she is so active she keeps jumping from place to place nd she keeps flying all over the place but when she gets tired she comes back to my finger head or shoulder she would never stand still like this beautifull budgie on the vid 😕
Pink Blossom It’s great that you’ve got her hand tamed now! Isn’t it great too that she is so active? Usually means they are happy and healthy 🙃. Keep working on it and you’ll be best friend soon!
AllesEnNogWat tank you so much each day she getting attached more to me like when i move 1 step away she comes flying to me which is really beautifull ... have nice day and thank you for your help again 🌹❤
memelord666 hi, so I got my birds almost a year ago, my bird didn’t chirp. It took a few weeks for them to chirp on their own. I usually put music for them and they chirp so much!! be patient because they will chirp!!
Gooperdooper well I stopped playing it weeks ago and since that he’s been happier then I’ve ever seen and has started chirping to the birds outside but ok then.
Wow thanks! A long time ago when I had finches, I used to pet them and I didn't know they didn't like it. Now, I have parakeet's and I got more knowledge!
@@ricardoalonso2971 there are many ways to make a budgie trust you, you can just look it up. I usually sing to them, and they actually get calm and let me get close to them without flying away!
-zucchinii- yeah, some birds may like it. But mine definitely doesn’t lol. It might have something to do with me getting his when he was an adult and not a baby.
Hello there! Thank you so much for sharing the tips. I have had 2 budgies for about 5 and half years. I tried so many steps to gain their trust and get them out of the cage , so that they could get a little exercise. None of the tricks worked. I never forced them out of the cage since they were both very nervous around humans and I didn't want to injure them by forcing them out. One of the parakeets (female) died 2 days ago and the male is feeling very lonely and nervous. I am trying to spend a lot of time with him by talking to him and putting my hand inside the cage. He just looks around when I talk to him and blinks his eye for a long time. But when I put my hand in the cage and leave it , he kind of tries to escape and stay in a corner. I really want to gain his trust and be able to get him out of the cage. I work 3 days a week , so I am planning on getting a new budgie to replace the female so that the male would have company when I am not home. Can I train these 2 together ? Does an old budgie and a new one get along with each other? Please advise .
Alestie Barragan I highly suggest a hand raised baby for the best experience for both you and the baby :) I rescued a 3+ year old budgie and it has taken 5 months for her to just be okay with my presence. I love my Aditi very much and love watching her progress into the confident, loving, playful little bird I know she can be, but rescues are not for everyone and hand raised babies are genuinely easier than broken birds for first time owners. :)
Thanks! I just got my first budgie after 15 with handraised parrots. I wanted a challenge and I got one! Actually quite surprised these guys are bought for children good luck everyone
Thank you all again for all of your views. I just wanted to say I am far from a bird expert lol but I will answer your questions to the best of my ability 💕💕💕💕
Thank you for this wonderful video! 😊 I recently got two budgies and I would like to start training them. My worst fear is when they are finally out of the cage like what if they fly around and I cant get them?
I have a pair of Budgies, they are in our front room because that’s were we are most of the time. I have put my hand in their cage and I say I have made some progress. We open the cage door and their wings are clipped so We do watch them. We clipped them Because We have supper High ceilings. And They have gone out and chilled out on our carpet. I would like what to do now
It's been a year with my two budgies I've tried everything and they aren't even tame yet,I don't know what I'm doing wrong, so I just gave up eventually
I think a couple is definitely harder to tame than one budgie. My male budgie is already eating food on my hand and stepped on my finger after just a week, but the female one is still super scared of me and the problem is they are so close with each other that the male budgie wouldn't want to go half a meter away from the female one and would start getting scared of me again after seeing her scared. So now I'm trying to win the trust of my female budgie more, it takes more patience but they love each other so much I can't bare to separate them!
@@itsquinn5 Both my budgies are female, I lost hope in trying to tame them and just started to play with my one cockatiel because my budgies arent playful at all :/
I had my 5 budgies for a week now and they eat from my hand already only 3 of them jump on my hand when I have seeds on my hand but for some reason when I put my hand inside without any seeds they are afraid of it I'm not sure if that's normal but I just got them for a week so I'll see if they realise they shouldn't be afraid
I got budgies today and there scared and missing the other flock that was with them at the store and they stop chirping when I walk pst them and they never chirp now and there in the same corner for hours with moving I’m worried
Hello.I have had my budgie,Lemon,for almost a year now,and nothing,absouletly nothing will work for her.She flys away a soon as she sees my hand approaching.Is this normal?Do you have any suggestions?Thank you!
My budgie was recently abused by the last owner, what do I do? It’s been a month and she’s not warming up, I’ve been reading near her and talking to her but it’s not working :(
I have my budgies for 3 days now they get a little scared but I like to hand feed them celery and they eat it from my hand now I’ll let them get used to the cage and my hands.
A.K.O sometimes in the beginning I thought my bird wasn’t eating it either. But I found out that for some reason he just wasn’t eating it in front of me until he got more comfortable. Now, after a few years, he doesn’t eat it a lot. Only when he feels he needs it.
Week or 2 is cap, You actually only need 1-3 days for it to feel accustomed to it’s owner afterward if you are trying to get it on your finger then lure it on your funger with mullet, I have a budgie named Sitara and she is very excited and playful
A few years ago I woke up to find my 2 of the 4 budgies I had were eaten by a snake. They were both males and the females were the only survivors. We were dealing with rodent issues in the house but we patched up the holes. The budgies that survived were so scared years after the incident that their behavior changed.
Thank You! All your step worked, except the perching on finger. I can get about 2 millimeters away from touching her and then she scoots over and tilts her head like "What'cha think you doin'?". I have tried this multiple times and I am starting to get frustrated. Do you have any tips to help me?
Firebolt AK It helps to have hold a perch in your hand and make your bird get used to jumping on the perch in your hand first. Then over a few days, move the perch further into your hand until your bird just naturally goes onto your hand ✋.
Firebolt AK I would continue to hold the millet in your hand inside the cage so they can get more used to your hand. If there are other foods they like, feed the bird with your hand so that it associates your hand with good things. This works for me. It does take patience but good luck! I'm glad my steps helped you! He will definitely get used to your hand as long as you don't force him or move too fast through the steps.
My bird doesn't like treats, I put millet in her cage to see if she would eat it. 2 days past and she still didnt eat a single piece. Do you know any other treats your bird likes?
Firebolt AK my bird loves spinach and lettuce but I had to gradually introduce that too him. Millet was what he really liked in the beginning. Good luck! If your bird is new, maybe he is just not eating it around you. When I first got my bird, I thought he wasn’t drinking water or eating, but I noticed, he was just not doing it around me.
My budgies only seems to be interested in me when I have food. I taught them Step Up, but they only listen when they want to and they don't really seem to enjoy my company without millet. When I take Butterscotch out, she just keeps on nibbling at the millet in my hand and then if she gets bored, she flies back on top of her cage. I guess they trust me enough to step on my hand but they don't actually seem to like me. Any tips on how to really *bond* with them?
Oh, and another thing. Sometimes they let me pet them, like they slit their eyes in pleasure, but sometimes they act downright scared of my hand when I put it in the cage. I've had them for a few months, 4 or 5, and I admit that I actually started taming them about a month ago but shouldn't they be used to me by now?
It would work, just needs more time :) but it will be worth it. I got a 5+ year old untamed, easily scared budgy who spent his entire life in a cage and got him to eat from my hand in a couple of weeks.
Patrícia Jusková I left it closed because he was not familiar with his surroundings. Once I got him familiar with landing spots around the house I started leaving the door open. I’ve had him for almost two years now and his door is always open.
My buddy is scared of me and it's just sitting there and it's not eating and anything I left it alone as you said for a few days and it's been two days since I got it I'm not doing anything to it but it's not eating or doing anything so I have to hand feed it and it's not even moving I'm really worried can you please help
Larisa Asgharzadeh I read that you can put a light in their cage and dim the lights in the rest of the room and they will fly toward the light in their cage.
Its been 3 days I got new budgie but he doesn't eat anything other than millet. That too when I put my hand close to its mouth. He doesn't leave his perch whole day. Is everything right with him? He is 5 months old
Please read this❤ I have 2 budgies and none of them like me. They don't care about me even if I do care about them. It breaks my heart. I tried everything to get there trust but nothing works. They leave whenever I put my hand in the cage. Its heartbreaking. I'm gonna try this and hopefully it works. Ty ❤
Hello, I am the owner of 2 budgies but they are pretty young so we cannot determine their gender yet. We got an albino budgie first and it was always scared but we put our hands next to the cage, but to no success did it start to trust us. Then we got a green and yellow budgie and attempted the same thing. It worked a bit, and then one day we tried to feed it millet and both of the budgies ate! We had believed that they had both started to trust us, and I started to stroke them slowly and gently. I did as you said, and gently pushed on the budgies stomach, and did that for roughly 2 weeks. I'm asking for help because I am clueless as to what to do next because I take care of them well, I change their food and water everyday, try and clean them 4 times a week, and I try and stay as patient as possible but, nothing is working! I am scared that they'll slowly grow up and never have the experience of getting outside of their cage, or never gain a bond with me. Please help me.
Vivian Liu let them come out and go in their cage on their own for a few hours so they can explore. Then when you take them out it won't be as scary for them. Also, get one to perch on your finger and return back to the perch they were on. Eventually you can move them from perch to perch. Only after the are comfortable with that can you take them out of the cage by hand. Once you can take them out by hand, close the cage door until you put them back in by hand so they rely on you to get to the place where they are comfortable.
I have had my budgie for over 2 months now. I was very gradual in introducing myself to him. I have gradually put him beside me when I work so he is with me all day. I took the cover off of his cage and have perches on the outside as well as the inside. He will sit close to me a bit but he is still very afraid of my hands. In the past two weeks, I manage to stroke his claws and chest but he will not get on my finger. He will not eat anything I offer him. He is still very nervous when I touch him. His wings are clipped so I have ladders set up around the room so he can get up on things. He doesn't go where I am. I am beginning to wonder if some budgies are not trainable? Any ideas?
I have one alone bugie (female) she does not eat anything expect milet. She always try to run back to the cage well, I don't force her now but she just freezes in the corner of cage and stare at me or at window. It's been almost a month that have her, i found her in the back of our house and yeah she is unable to fly as well. Help me if you could in this matter.
Thanks this is interesting. He sits on my fingers now. Had him for a few months. He isn't out the cage yet. But how do you get your Budgie to get back in the case?
I've done all of these things. I have 2 parakeets I have had them for like 4 months. They have kinda gotten on my finger but don't care. I sadly.............let them out on the first day, I am NOT very paitent. But I am taking the time to train them but they don't want the millet. i just want them to love meee!!! Oh and great video! and they do let me have my hand in the cage. any tips?
Hi, Odara. You make it look easy. Normally I have had already tame birds, but I have been given 3 that needed homes, and only 1 is somewhat tamed, the other 2 are very wild. They don't seem like they can be tamed. Any suggestions? Thank you!!
My budgie is 5 years old I had him for 5 years and hes scared of me any tips? I'm trying to tame him he freaks out when I put my hand anywhere on his cage and flies around like crazy
We found our budgie on our backdoor step over a month ago. I caught him and kept him in a real small cage until I bought another. (after checking with neighbours if they owned him). He is pure white and looks small. His feathers are always sleek. He has a blue cere so I am assuming he is a boy. He does crazy things and loves it when I call him crazy boy. He doesn't like my hand in the cage although I put it in there and don't move it. He is gradually getting used to it.. I would've thought that he would be used to me by now. I have never hurt him and are careful not to force him, but I desparately want him to sit on my finger and be tame. How can I do this?
My budgie dont do much... he usually sits still and goes outside sometimes? He wont sit on my hand anymore? He is also pretty scared of a lot of stuff.. she eats out of my hand sometimes too
Heey awesome vid! Im glad I stumbled across your channel. I got my first budgie a week ago, first day he was so shy! he's now comfortable eating from my hand and always full of energy 😄 He has spent his first week in his cage, do you think he is ready to venture out of his cage? How would you recommend I let him out? Shall I rub his chest gently with my index finger and hope he hops on or is there a more specific way? Thanks for your time 👊🏻
My parrot aint scared of me.... IM SCARED OF IT- i cant even try to feed it, because whenever he sees my hand or finger he'll bite me sooo what should i do
Hey,your bird is incredibly cute!I will definitely try your methods.I do have one question which isn’t really related to budgie taming, but I was wondering if cat toys (little balls,specifically) that are unused and newly bought from the store are safe for budgies to play with?For example if I stuffed treats into a ball with gaps in it,would it be safe for me to give it to my bird?
• Millie • I really am not sure. I am careful that whatever I put inside the birds cage won’t have any harmful chemicals since they bite and chew a lot. I usually stick to toys specifically for birds just because I do not know all that is poisonous to budgies. But I think it’s a great idea to make a toy for him like you are doing.
Odara Creations thank you for replying! I think for now I’ll stick to specifically bird toys and keep making him DIY toys safely alongside that.I’ll do some searching around for safe chews and things for him too,I think,to buy in the future.
I'm sure you can, it's my budgies second day and I've been interacting with him also, but they all have different reactions, some may be calm, while others may be scared.
It may work, but you need to at least separate them if you'd want a bigger bond with one of them. Although, if you want them both trained at the same time, I wouldn't really recommend it much. One by one should do.
Ik this video is a bit old and it's for like beginners but my bird would rather be anywhere else than with me and I've already ig tamed it in 3 weeks now, I feel as if he's very lonely sometimes so I try to comfort him by taking him out with me or just giving him snacks, though it still has some issues how do I go further with our bond so that he isn't so lonely and he looks at me as a companion instead of a monster?
well, i recently got a male budgie, and im going to tame him in two weeks like she said to do so, i've read that budgies like to have their own kind with them, so i guess you could get another budgie for him to hang out with?
KweenKristen Msp I have read that you turn all of the lights out and put a light inside the cage and they should fly back inside. They will fly to wherever the light is. I had my budgie hand tamed before I let him outside of the cage so he would just go on my finger and I put him back in myself.
my budgie is kind of afraid to get out of the cage she steps on my finger and when I try and take my finger out she flys back in. But, when shes out I set her on a purch on the outside of her cage next to my bed. she will also sit on my finger and on my shirt but somtimes she freaks out and flys back into my cage... I think I might get her wings clipped but idk if I really need to, because she is kind of use to me and I dont wanna stress her out because she loves flying. she just dosent trust me verry much iv had her for a month
I have 6 budgies and one of them started to appear little moving (Kind of lazy) and sleeping a lot and he has a little poop stuck around his butt and he fluffing his feathers as if he were cold but the temperature is not cold it Normal . Even the other five birds do not fluffing their feathers like he do . and his poop is viscous liquid . I think he has diarrhea. Can you make a video about diarrhea in budgies Symptoms, treatment and prevention . Or just tell me what to do, please . Please I don’t want to lose my feather friend . My family does not allow me to take him to the vet 😢 ((Sorry if I wrote something wrong, English is my second language)) Thank you 💖🐾
Hey. 😊 I'm trying to tame my budgie I've had it 6 days now. And I think I'm doing something wrong because he is biting me. And I have to be brave because of my 3 kids who wanted the budgie. If I don't get used to it they won't either. Please tell me what I should do.
Thank you again everyone for watching! I will get to your questions as soon as I am able to 💕💕💕💕
Odara Creations hey what should I do if they are stubborn and fly away?
Does it still work if you already tried to tame it?
Please take the mirror out it's bad for them
U r at 300 subs rn. Ur welcome 😊
II Goofy Lucy II so sometimes it’s bad for them but, not always.
I tense up when I go near my birds because I’m scared that they’re gonna get scared lol
Same my budgies are kind of afraid of my family because their loud XD
I do the same thing lol
Me too with my love birds
😭😭🤣
Okay I can’t believe how many views I have gotten!!! Wow, thank you for watching
Odara Creations You’re Welcome 😊
You have a *beautiful* budgie by the way
Thank you SO much for your suggestions with my new Budgie..!..👍🐦..i will for sure try that..!..GREAT idea with hands on the cage love it..!💜🐦
2:24 "Forget the food, I want to be with you instead!" Aww. ;w;

Gauri Mishra aww this is really great to hear! Thank you for coming back to let us know how it went 💙
Thank you for your video! It was calm and easy going. You had great tips that I hope work for my birdie. He is so scared, that everyday it’s like he just sees me for the first time. It’s like 50 first dates! Or Groundhog’s Day!😂
You are really good at giving advice!!! When I was doing the first step of taming my budgie, only in two days she started to get used to my hand 😊
Miłk Tea thank you! It’s good to hear that it’s working for you.
My budgies does not like to get on my hand even though i have treats or millets on my hand😞 they get too scared and stay at a corner at a cage can you please help me 😞😔😢 it will mean a lot to me
Just one question: When you let them out of the cage don't they crap all over the place? like on furniture and carpets?
Fernando Leite he has specific spots where he actually lands. He does poop wherever he lands but it’s really easy to clean up. Their poop isn’t messy like bigger birds. You can just vacuum it up,
You can train your budgie to not poop on carpets or furniture. Besides, it's actually very easy to clean up- just wipe it or when it dries you can flick it off.
Yes.
Try having a Rainbow Lorikeet as a pet & you'll know what messy is! Budgies are a dream to take care of compared to them lol
They do but it’s easy to clean
I have found it easier to get the bird to eat spray millet from your hand rather than seed. Also, I like to get the bird out of the cage before I try to get them to step up. I will usually just open the door to the cage and wait the bird out. It also helps to leave the room for a little bit and I’ll just find the bird on top of the cage. If none of that works I’ll either lure them out with a treat, or this isn’t an option for most people but I’ll bring another bird in the room that will want to fly around because usually if one bird flies the other one will too. Once the bird is on top of the cage it’s easier to get them to step on your hand and they won’t get territorial. The bird will also find it rewarding if you put them in the cage because they’ll associate your hand with the security of the cage.

Joy The leafeon let me know how it goes!
they have already started getting used to me but they are still scared but soon hopefully they will be fully tamed

Lol, i did all that in one day, and i still think why they are scared, 😂😂😂. Thank you. Ill guve them some time alone
Lol
Any updates?
I have a budgie called Jet. He has just started chirping
Lily Nicholson How do you get your birds to Chirp? My never do it and how long does it take?
memelord666 hi, so I got my birds almost a year ago, my bird didn’t chirp. It took a few weeks for them to chirp on their own. I usually put music for them and they chirp so much!! be patient because they will chirp!!
Moobinch play free ddawg mine always chirps when it come on
Moobinch just play budgie sounds around them for like an hour a day for 2 weeks
Gooperdooper well I stopped playing it weeks ago and since that he’s been happier then I’ve ever seen and has started chirping to the birds outside but ok then.
Wow thanks! A long time ago when I had finches, I used to pet them and I didn't know they didn't like it. Now, I have parakeet's and I got more knowledge!
What do you do when it is scard
@@ricardoalonso2971 there are many ways to make a budgie trust you, you can just look it up. I usually sing to them, and they actually get calm and let me get close to them without flying away!

Hello there! Thank you so much for sharing the tips. I have had 2 budgies for about 5 and half years. I tried so many steps to gain their trust and get them out of the cage , so that they could get a little exercise. None of the tricks worked. I never forced them out of the cage since they were both very nervous around humans and I didn't want to injure them by forcing them out.
One of the parakeets (female) died 2 days ago and the male is feeling very lonely and nervous. I am trying to spend a lot of time with him by talking to him and putting my hand inside the cage. He just looks around when I talk to him and blinks his eye for a long time. But when I put my hand in the cage and leave it , he kind of tries to escape and stay in a corner. I really want to gain his trust and be able to get him out of the cage. I work 3 days a week , so I am planning on getting a new budgie to replace the female so that the male would have company when I am not home. Can I train these 2 together ? Does an old budgie and a new one get along with each other? Please advise .
Omg your budgie has such a unique color ! I’m planning on getting a budgie soon :)
Alestie Barragan I highly suggest a hand raised baby for the best experience for both you and the baby :) I rescued a 3+ year old budgie and it has taken 5 months for her to just be okay with my presence. I love my Aditi very much and love watching her progress into the confident, loving, playful little bird I know she can be, but rescues are not for everyone and hand raised babies are genuinely easier than broken birds for first time owners. :)
Thanks! I just got my first budgie after 15 with handraised parrots. I wanted a challenge and I got one! Actually quite surprised these guys are bought for children good luck everyone
Thanks! My new birds already eat out of my hand, I haven't had them for long but I've had them long enough. I need to try this for them
Omgosh my budgie has the Exact same toy with the bell on the end! It's her favorite. Great video. :)
Same
I will try your method. I have only had my budgies for 8 days. I have gotten them to hop on the stick so far. Thanks.
My TARAY & TEROY Budgies is your budgie tamed now?
I’ve had mine for almost 2 years and they Are still not used to me
He looks just like my budgie! They must be twins lol
You have such a beautiful budgie 😍
Hi there we have a rescue budgie a year or so old. Is it possible to get her to not be afraid using these steps ? Thank you
Martin Kennard yes, I think it would work. My budgie was a little older when I got him as-well.
What a beautiful bird
As soon as I got my first budgie, she was used to me. Now I take her out for walk 'round the block.
She was not already trained by a professional
xAntony Enescu wow really?! Are her wings clipped?
@@OdaraCreations19 no, her wings are not clipped, she is just like that. I guess she's just attached to me...
xAntony Enescu that’s really cool. I’m sure my budgie would fly away if I did that lol
@@OdaraCreations19 ikr?
how is she not flying away omg. like my budgie and i have a pretty strong bond but he'd deffo fly away if i let him outside
Beautiful bird,I wish I have one like that,super video
Thank you all again for all of your views. I just wanted to say I am far from a bird expert lol but I will answer your questions to the best of my ability 💕💕💕💕
Thank you for this wonderful video! 😊 I recently got two budgies and I would like to start training them. My worst fear is when they are finally out of the cage like what if they fly around and I cant get them?
I have a pair of Budgies, they are in our front room because that’s were we are most of the time. I have put my hand in their cage and I say I have made some progress. We open the cage door and their wings are clipped so We do watch them. We clipped them Because We have supper High ceilings. And They have gone out and chilled out on our carpet. I would like what to do now
Wow good work. What to do if there are more than one budgie.
How do you put him on your shoulder? Since mine is like “OMG what the frick is that?!” And he flies off
Still having that problem
It's been a year with my two budgies I've tried everything and they aren't even tame yet,I don't know what I'm doing wrong, so I just gave up eventually
What! It's been 1 year? I hope that doesn't happen with my budgies lol
@Leah Yax i agree. I wish I got one first, tamed them, then got another one and tamed them too :(
My budgies hate me :
@@ghost_animates7926 my budgie went from letting me pet him to BITING ME ALL THE TIME. I don’t know what to do at this point he’s six months☹️
I think a couple is definitely harder to tame than one budgie. My male budgie is already eating food on my hand and stepped on my finger after just a week, but the female one is still super scared of me and the problem is they are so close with each other that the male budgie wouldn't want to go half a meter away from the female one and would start getting scared of me again after seeing her scared. So now I'm trying to win the trust of my female budgie more, it takes more patience but they love each other so much I can't bare to separate them!
@@itsquinn5 Both my budgies are female, I lost hope in trying to tame them and just started to play with my one cockatiel because my budgies arent playful at all :/
Your budgie is so cute! I’m going to try these steps on mine
I had my 5 budgies for a week now and they eat from my hand already only 3 of them jump on my hand when I have seeds on my hand but for some reason when I put my hand inside without any seeds they are afraid of it I'm not sure if that's normal but I just got them for a week so I'll see if they realise they shouldn't be afraid
He looks really cute like you 🤗
I got budgies today and there scared and missing the other flock that was with them at the store and they stop chirping when I walk pst them and they never chirp now and there in the same corner for hours with moving I’m worried
Hello.I have had my budgie,Lemon,for almost a year now,and nothing,absouletly nothing will work for her.She flys away a soon as she sees my hand approaching.Is this normal?Do you have any suggestions?Thank you!
BILGIN Orgun I would get the bird used to my hand first before trying to reach into the cage for the bird.
My budgie was recently abused by the last owner, what do I do? It’s been a month and she’s not warming up, I’ve been reading near her and talking to her but it’s not working :(
I have my budgies for 3 days now they get a little scared but I like to hand feed them celery and they eat it from my hand now I’ll let them get used to the cage and my hands.
You are doing great! 3 days in and they are already eating from your hand! :)
do you know what to do because my budgies are tame and healthy but they are not eating cuttlefish
A.K.O sometimes in the beginning I thought my bird wasn’t eating it either. But I found out that for some reason he just wasn’t eating it in front of me until he got more comfortable. Now, after a few years, he doesn’t eat it a lot. Only when he feels he needs it.
Week or 2 is cap,
You actually only need 1-3 days for it to feel accustomed to it’s owner afterward if you are trying to get it on your finger then lure it on your funger with mullet, I have a budgie named Sitara and she is very excited and playful
2amSeb if that works for you then fine. These are the steps I took and this is what worked for me.
Odara Creations I didn’t mean to be rude, sorry if it sounded like I was
A few years ago I woke up to find my 2 of the 4 budgies I had were eaten by a snake. They were both males and the females were the only survivors. We were dealing with rodent issues in the house but we patched up the holes. The budgies that survived were so scared years after the incident that their behavior changed.
Thank You! All your step worked, except the perching on finger. I can get about 2 millimeters away from touching her and then she scoots over and tilts her head like "What'cha think you doin'?". I have tried this multiple times and I am starting to get frustrated. Do you have any tips to help me?
Firebolt AK It helps to have hold a perch in your hand and make your bird get used to jumping on the perch in your hand first. Then over a few days, move the perch further into your hand until your bird just naturally goes onto your hand ✋.
Thank You! I will try that.
Firebolt AK I would continue to hold the millet in your hand inside the cage so they can get more used to your hand. If there are other foods they like, feed the bird with your hand so that it associates your hand with good things. This works for me. It does take patience but good luck! I'm glad my steps helped you! He will definitely get used to your hand as long as you don't force him or move too fast through the steps.
My bird doesn't like treats, I put millet in her cage to see if she would eat it. 2 days past and she still didnt eat a single piece. Do you know any other treats your bird likes?
Firebolt AK my bird loves spinach and lettuce but I had to gradually introduce that too him. Millet was what he really liked in the beginning. Good luck! If your bird is new, maybe he is just not eating it around you. When I first got my bird, I thought he wasn’t drinking water or eating, but I noticed, he was just not doing it around me.
Can it work for adult budgies
Rakin Chowdhury for sure. My bird was an adult when I got It and was not hand tamed at all.
Awesome informative video Odara
My budgies only seems to be interested in me when I have food. I taught them Step Up, but they only listen when they want to and they don't really seem to enjoy my company without millet. When I take Butterscotch out, she just keeps on nibbling at the millet in my hand and then if she gets bored, she flies back on top of her cage. I guess they trust me enough to step on my hand but they don't actually seem to like me. Any tips on how to really *bond* with them?
Oh, and another thing. Sometimes they let me pet them, like they slit their eyes in pleasure, but sometimes they act downright scared of my hand when I put it in the cage. I've had them for a few months, 4 or 5, and I admit that I actually started taming them about a month ago but shouldn't they be used to me by now?
Same, I have no idea how to bond with mine
I have two, Rio and Ivy. I’ve had them for a year and I’ve never been able to tame them, but hopefully I can. I’ve been really trying.
Ive already lost their trust by chasing them around. Would it still work or is it a lost cause? :(
It would work, just needs more time :) but it will be worth it. I got a 5+ year old untamed, easily scared budgy who spent his entire life in a cage and got him to eat from my hand in a couple of weeks.
@@cat-zu7hj Thank you! 💞
GreenWing 27 for sure! Give it a try. I believe trust can be rebuilt. Just take your time.
Hi... do you leave the cage open for the first few days or closed? I am scared the budgie might fly away if I don’t close it
Patrícia Jusková I left it closed because he was not familiar with his surroundings. Once I got him familiar with landing spots around the house I started leaving the door open. I’ve had him for almost two years now and his door is always open.
Odara Creations thank you 💜
My buddy is scared of me and it's just sitting there and it's not eating and anything I left it alone as you said for a few days and it's been two days since I got it I'm not doing anything to it but it's not eating or doing anything so I have to hand feed it and it's not even moving I'm really worried can you please help
I loved your video!!thank you for this useful information 👍
Hi how do I put my budgie back in it’s cage because it doesn’t come to my hand and it flies around everywhere I struggle with that.
Larisa Asgharzadeh I read that you can put a light in their cage and dim the lights in the rest of the room and they will fly toward the light in their cage.
Its been 3 days I got new budgie but he doesn't eat anything other than millet. That too when I put my hand close to its mouth. He doesn't leave his perch whole day. Is everything right with him? He is 5 months old
How do you give medicines to your bird without scaring them?
Please read this❤
I have 2 budgies and none of them like me. They don't care about me even if I do care about them. It breaks my heart. I tried everything to get there trust but nothing works. They leave whenever I put my hand in the cage. Its heartbreaking. I'm gonna try this and hopefully it works. Ty ❤
@@greencoffee5510 yes ur right, but it's hard to explain my situation
😊😊hello nice bird cool
Hello,
I am the owner of 2 budgies but they are pretty young so we cannot determine their gender yet. We got an albino budgie first and it was always scared but we put our hands next to the cage, but to no success did it start to trust us. Then we got a green and yellow budgie and attempted the same thing. It worked a bit, and then one day we tried to feed it millet and both of the budgies ate! We had believed that they had both started to trust us, and I started to stroke them slowly and gently. I did as you said, and gently pushed on the budgies stomach, and did that for roughly 2 weeks. I'm asking for help because I am clueless as to what to do next because I take care of them well, I change their food and water everyday, try and clean them 4 times a week, and I try and stay as patient as possible but, nothing is working!
I am scared that they'll slowly grow up and never have the experience of getting outside of their cage, or never gain a bond with me. Please help me.
Vivian Liu let them come out and go in their cage on their own for a few hours so they can explore. Then when you take them out it won't be as scary for them. Also, get one to perch on your finger and return back to the perch they were on. Eventually you can move them from perch to perch. Only after the are comfortable with that can you take them out of the cage by hand. Once you can take them out by hand, close the cage door until you put them back in by hand so they rely on you to get to the place where they are comfortable.
I have had my budgie for over 2 months now. I was very gradual in introducing myself to him. I have gradually put him beside me when I work so he is with me all day. I took the cover off of his cage and have perches on the outside as well as the inside. He will sit close to me a bit but he is still very afraid of my hands. In the past two weeks, I manage to stroke his claws and chest but he will not get on my finger. He will not eat anything I offer him. He is still very nervous when I touch him. His wings are clipped so I have ladders set up around the room so he can get up on things. He doesn't go where I am. I am beginning to wonder if some budgies are not trainable? Any ideas?
I have one alone bugie (female) she does not eat anything expect milet. She always try to run back to the cage well, I don't force her now but she just freezes in the corner of cage and stare at me or at window. It's been almost a month that have her, i found her in the back of our house and yeah she is unable to fly as well.
Help me if you could in this matter.
Thanks this is interesting. He sits on my fingers now. Had him for a few months. He isn't out the cage yet. But how do you get your Budgie to get back in the case?
I've done all of these things. I have 2 parakeets I have had them for like 4 months. They have kinda gotten on my finger but don't care. I sadly.............let them out on the first day, I am NOT very paitent. But I am taking the time to train them but they don't want the millet. i just want them to love meee!!! Oh and great video! and they do let me have my hand in the cage. any tips?
Hi, Odara. You make it look easy. Normally I have had already tame birds, but I have been given 3 that needed homes, and only 1 is somewhat tamed, the other 2 are very wild. They don't seem like they can be tamed. Any suggestions? Thank you!!
Sarajo Mendez sorry, I think you will have to speak with someone more experienced. 😬
My budgie is 5 years old I had him for 5 years and hes scared of me any tips? I'm trying to tame him he freaks out when I put my hand anywhere on his cage and flies around like crazy
We found our budgie on our backdoor step over a month ago. I caught him and kept him in a real small cage until I bought another. (after checking with neighbours if they owned him). He is pure white and looks small. His feathers are always sleek. He has a blue cere so I am assuming he is a boy. He does crazy things and loves it when I call him crazy boy. He doesn't like my hand in the cage although I put it in there and don't move it. He is gradually getting used to it.. I would've thought that he would be used to me by now. I have never hurt him and are careful not to force him, but I desparately want him to sit on my finger and be tame. How can I do this?
My budgie doesn’t wanna eat anything including millet, what do I do?
My budgie dont do much... he usually sits still and goes outside sometimes? He wont sit on my hand anymore? He is also pretty scared of a lot of stuff.. she eats out of my hand sometimes too
Is the budgie in a boy or girl you hold
Heey awesome vid! Im glad I stumbled across your channel. I got my first budgie a week ago, first day he was so shy! he's now comfortable eating from my hand and always full of energy 😄 He has spent his first week in his cage, do you think he is ready to venture out of his cage? How would you recommend I let him out? Shall I rub his chest gently with my index finger and hope he hops on or is there a more specific way? Thanks for your time 👊🏻
This is my Second Day on Taming him but I had them for couple of months I put my finger in their cage and they picked my finger .
😂
Are ur budgie now tamed
@@MuhammadAhsan-fm6kg No sadly, I live with my parents as I’m still in Middle School, I was taming them but I got told off by my mother.
@vsptuts
Does it hurt when they bite
@@progamer-on5mm in the moment they bite it hurts but the pain goes away very fast (sry for my bad english btw)
My parrot aint scared of me.... IM SCARED OF IT-
i cant even try to feed it, because whenever he sees my hand or finger he'll bite me sooo what should i do
Its funny that looks like a fancy parakeet lol.
I don’t know what to do with my one. i’ve tried everything, not even millet will get them..
dont they fly when u first time remove them from cage??? and did they come back in cage?
Hey,your bird is incredibly cute!I will definitely try your methods.I do have one question which isn’t really related to budgie taming, but I was wondering if cat toys (little balls,specifically) that are unused and newly bought from the store are safe for budgies to play with?For example if I stuffed treats into a ball with gaps in it,would it be safe for me to give it to my bird?
• Millie • I really am not sure. I am careful that whatever I put inside the birds cage won’t have any harmful chemicals since they bite and chew a lot. I usually stick to toys specifically for birds just because I do not know all that is poisonous to budgies. But I think it’s a great idea to make a toy for him like you are doing.
Odara Creations thank you for replying! I think for now I’ll stick to specifically bird toys and keep making him DIY toys safely alongside that.I’ll do some searching around for safe chews and things for him too,I think,to buy in the future.
What if I already tried to pick up my bird multiple times when he first got here. Can I still restart and let them get used to my room
I'm sure you can, it's my budgies second day and I've been interacting with him also, but they all have different reactions, some may be calm, while others may be scared.
That's really bad it makes your bird not trust you
Looks just like my budgie same colours but mine's face is different . Mine keeps flying away from me
Can your budgies fly?? I have 3 budgies
Can you do the same the step with two buggies
Aww your budgie looks like mine! My budgie will rarely eat out of my hand and I've gotten him to go on my finger once.
Wow that helps me a lot! Does it work if you have got 2 budgies in the same cage?
It may work, but you need to at least separate them if you'd want a bigger bond with one of them. Although, if you want them both trained at the same time, I wouldn't really recommend it much. One by one should do.
Can we tame two adult budgie
How long it took you?
It's my third day having my budgies and they're already eating out my hands and coming on my fingers,is that too quick?
Not at all! If they are tamed quickly thats even better
are his wings clipped?
Christina lenan no, they are not
Ik this video is a bit old and it's for like beginners but my bird would rather be anywhere else than with me and I've already ig tamed it in 3 weeks now, I feel as if he's very lonely sometimes so I try to comfort him by taking him out with me or just giving him snacks, though it still has some issues how do I go further with our bond so that he isn't so lonely and he looks at me as a companion instead of a monster?
well, i recently got a male budgie, and im going to tame him in two weeks like she said to do so, i've read that budgies like to have their own kind with them, so i guess you could get another budgie for him to hang out with?
I got two budgies. it's been a month when I got close to their cage they just scared and fly.
How do you catch an untamed budgie back in the cage
KweenKristen Msp I have read that you turn all of the lights out and put a light inside the cage and they should fly back inside. They will fly to wherever the light is. I had my budgie hand tamed before I let him outside of the cage so he would just go on my finger and I put him back in myself.
Thank You :) I Have two new ones getting used to my place now
My bird will eat out of my hand and lets me pet his belly, but he won't perch on my finger. Help?
my budgie is kind of afraid to get out of the cage she steps on my finger and when I try and take my finger out she flys back in. But, when shes out I set her on a purch on the outside of her cage next to my bed.
she will also sit on my finger and on my shirt but somtimes she freaks out and flys back into my cage...
I think I might get her wings clipped but idk if I really need to, because she is kind of use to me and I dont wanna stress her out because she loves flying. she just dosent trust me verry much iv had her for a month
Thank you for posting this informational video!!
My budgie is around 4ish and she is not tame. Will I still be able to tame her?
I have 6 budgies and one of them started to appear little moving (Kind of lazy) and sleeping a lot and he has a little poop stuck around his butt and he fluffing his feathers as if he were cold but the temperature is not cold it Normal . Even the other five birds do not fluffing their feathers like he do . and his poop is viscous liquid . I think he has diarrhea. Can you make a video about diarrhea in budgies Symptoms, treatment and prevention . Or just tell me what to do, please . Please I don’t want to lose my feather friend . My family does not allow me to take him to the vet 😢 ((Sorry if I wrote something wrong, English is my second language)) Thank you 💖🐾
RoRa 305 you should take him to see an avian vet so they can check him out to get the treatment / medicine he needs asap. He does sound sick.
What do you do when they keep on flying around the cage ??
my budgie already eat from my hand, but after i bring them out of they cage, they directly fly away, do you have some advice for me?
Hey. 😊 I'm trying to tame my budgie I've had it 6 days now. And I think I'm doing something wrong because he is biting me. And I have to be brave because of my 3 kids who wanted the budgie. If I don't get used to it they won't either. Please tell me what I should do.
you are supposed to wait up to two weeks before trying to tame them
He won’t eat off my hand he just runs
my budgie do not eat vegetables what to do???
