You try to touch your budgie but it bites softly how would you stop that happening?
Get it to trust your hand before trying to pet it. Everyday put your hand in its cage and rest it there gently. Let the budgie see that the hand is not there to hurt it. Each day put your hand closer to the budgie when you rest it in the cage until one day when you can reach out your finger and the budgie doesn't move away from it. Then gently and very slowly stroke the budgie's chest. This should help it to get used to you touching it within 1 to 3 weeks, depending on the bird. Patience is everything with this. Also, speak softly to the bird when you approach it so it feels at ease.

How do you train your budgies?
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. :DImportant 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.
What is a fast effective way to finger train a budgie?
Start by spending a few days just putting your hand into the budgie's cage, putting it a little further in each day. Just rest your hand on the floor of the cage, so that the budgie can become accustomed to it. When you can get your hand close enough to the bird to touch it, and the bird does not react by flying off, just lay your finger against the bird's feet. When the bird finally steps on your hand instead of flying away, softle repeat a cue word, such as "up" or "step." Repeat ech step of the process until the bird is comfortable with it before moving on to the next. Eventually, you will be able to say the cue word and the bird will hop onto your finger.

Are female budgie has 7 chicks all doing well but mother has laid another egg in amonst them what do you do with the egg?
you could take it and hand raise it! :)
Is it normal for a budgie to come to your hand outside of the cage but not inside of it?
Yes - Their cage is their territory. You have to gain their trust in that area and placing you finger just above the feet whilst the bird is on its perch will prompt it to step on . Its takes time to build this trust so take all the time the bird needs
Can you hold your budgie?
Yes you can hold your budgie. There are two ways to hold your budgie one way is to carefully put your hands over his/her wings and pick him/her up but I find that most budgies don't like to be held that way. The other way is to put your finger or your hand against his/her stomach and push lightly against it and he/she will step onto it. Your budgie must be tamed for him/her to step on your finger or hand. Have fun holding your budgie.
