What are ways to tame a budgie?

Question

What are different methods to tame a budgies

Answer 1

1. You have to be persistent, consistent, kind and gentle - talk in a nice voice all the time or they will freak out and lose trust

2. Dont get their feathers cut as it will traumatise them (trust me - ive seen the difference)

3. Let them out regularly. Prepare house first - fans off, doors locked, windows closed. Consider how easy it will be to get him in the cage again. You dont wanna have to catch him forcefully and undo your hard work. Are the roofs high?

4. Have a shower with your bird - just let him fly around the bathroom.

5. Have a routine. I cover my birds every night and keep the top of the cage covered so they feel safe. When I arrive/leave we greet the birds and have a chat - pay them attention. Before bed I say the same thing "Nigh - night birdies, I love you"

6. Make sure your sleeves are rolled up and you slowly put your hand (faced down) out with one finger to encourage the bird to hop on. Never try to sneak up behind him. You are much bigger than him and will scare him

Answer 2

If he is an older bird then it may be too late to tame/train him, but it's worth a try anyway.

Everyday u need to talk too him/her in a nice "Calm" voice and u need to play with him/her. Try feeding it food out of ur hand.

Hope this helps....

Good Luck..
