Question

how do i make my budgie stop biting my hand?

how do i make my budgie go on my sholder?

if you use gloves to play with your budgie will he get use to your hand or will he get use to the glove?

Answer 1

Hello

your budgie sounds nervous and shy, the reason the budgie is not hopping onto your finger is because its scared of it, just hold bird seed in the palm of your hand in a quiet place and show your nothing to be afraid of.

budgies dont hurt when they bite, its like a minor pinch so i dont recomend using a glove.

when you've bonded enough with him/her it'll trust you enough to hop onto you.

if your budgie is REALLY scared of your hand it'll make a skreeching sound, but if it flys and hopps you;ll be right, trim the beak to make it less sharp.

Answer 3

do not use gloves!

To tame him give him about 2 weeks to get used to his surroundings.

In the meantime you can talk to him and give him treats. (do not put your hand in unless to cage food/water)

After the 2 weeks is up you can open the cage and tempt the birdie out with treats.

When he comes out pet him/touch him and if he lets you reward him and give him a treat. (do not touch under a birds wings, his butt, or his middle-lower wing area. That is like his private spots. Plus when praising him keep your voice soft and do not yell at him.)

after he lets you pet him you can put him back in and wait for tomorrow to continue.

The next day tempt him out again with treats and your voice. When he comes out practise touching him (birds LOVE head scratches!) if he lets you reward him.

Then you can start finger training! (remember this can take 1day-1month!)

Take your curved pointer finger and rub his lower stomach. (If bites don't pull away! I know it might hurt but this is his way of saying i don't wanna go up (ignore that for now) plus if you pull away he now knows how to get you away and will keep doing this. Birds also bite to measure the distance between your finger and his foot to see if he can step up!)

If he steps up say step up praise him and reward him. Keep doing this until he gets it then put him back in.

As soon as he masters this (this could take a 1day-month) you can start taking him off. Just say step-off and put your finger near the ground (shake your finger lightly if you have to get him off) when he does go off say step-down and praise and reward him.

Just master this then finger training is complete!

Next is bonding + tricks if you want!

P.S birds are right footed or left footed like we are left handed or right handed! to tell, see what foot he puts on your finger first or what foot he uses to get down with first!

Answer 4

I would not use a glove.  Put a treat on your hand.  If he comes out let him fly around and land on your shoulder.  He probably will.  I have had about 10 birds.

Answer 5

Uhm, Im a budgie expert, and i should know the biting part... buit budgies only bight when they feel threatend or scared... remeber they are small animals with no other emans of defence all they have is their little beak... you probley hand trained it wrong, or you go to fast at him when you go to let him out of his cage, or your impatent with him, as for the shoulder part, you need to be fully hand trained with your budgie, and he will get used to the glove, a glove is NOT nessesarry, its acculy a little rediculas... their talons (claws) dont hurt.. hope i helped :)

Answer 7

1: hand train it (budgie is nervous)

2: do step one then place it on your shoulder and stay still then slowly walk with it until its gets used to it.

3: ok do NOT use gloves with parakeets its not natural (i no you want to play with him) get the budgie toys and train with him with the toy
