How do you train your budgies?

Answer 1

I will explian in steps:

Step 1: If you've just got it, strictly no hands in the cage for the first 24 hours. This is vital because he/she needs to get used to their surroundings. Personally I started by slowly putting my hand to the side of the cage. I repeated this 3 times a day for 10 mins each time.

Step 2: After a couple of days of doing this, you will notice him/her starting to trust you (Don't get too excited) now slowly put your hand in cage. Note: Never open up your fingers whilst doing this, that will show that your big, hence scary to the tiny budgie. The budgie will run/fly away from your hand, that is okay. Just keep doing this for 10 mins and show the budgie that you are no threat.

Step 3: After about a week of doing this, budgie should let you go near it. Again, 'SLOWLY' move your hand closer to your budgie. If he/she go's crazy, repeat step 2. He/she should let you touch him/her. If this is so then calmly touch his/her belly. Keep doing this until you can tell that your budgie finds you as No Threat to them.

Step 4: Now at this point you should starting to get him/her to step onto your finger. Do this by carefully pressing your finger onto your budgies belly and saying 'UP' in a deep, calm manor. Repeat this a few times to get him/her to step onto your finger on command. Enjoy raising your budgies. :D

Important Notes: Never, Ever yell at your budgie. This will lose all trust he/she had for you.

Never hit your budgie. For obvious reason.

Try not to hit his/her cage, as this will frighten them.
