I am Sugar's original mom. I brought him home from the pet store in October 2019, and yes, I did my research. I grew up in an animal breeder/groomer home. We always had birds, reptiles, horses and big dogs. My intention with Sugar was to have a long term companion just like everyone else in my family. I wish I knew more about training him and feeding him better. I just did what my grandma did with her birds. I didn't know what I didn't know. Sugar spent his days in my home office with his cage open. He was good at stepping up and spent time on my shoulder or on my desk while I worked (7 days a week). He gave sweet kisses on the cheek. He has such a pretty singing voice and would always respond to my singing/whistling or my kids playing instruments. He tried to sound out a couple words that we were consistent with. My four kids were in and out of my office and verbally engaged with Sugar, but he was not interested in their hands entering his cage. Our situation changed drastically in 2020. We had to sell our home and move in with friends. They happened to have a well-trained budgie that had free reign of the house. Sugar made a great companion for the month we were there. After that, we were able to get into a rental that didn't have a yard for our dog, and that meant she was now 100% inside. She enjoyed Sugar's singing, but it became clear that she would do whatever it takes to make the bird a sweet snack. After ten months in that situation, we had to start looking at another move. This time, we knew we could be homeless for months and very unstable for who knows how long. Almost two years later, we are still very unstable. I could not have foreseen that our perfect white picket fence dream would fall apart and everything would be so difficult for so long. I don't regret trying to be a bird mom, but when it comes down to it, we were not the best home for Sugar anymore. When I contacted Jamie, she was gracious enough to consider Sugar for a family that was already preparing for the perfect bird. My kids and I delivered him a few weeks later. I cried in the car on the way home because I felt like a failure. Because I couldn't live the dream the way I wanted to. I read through the comments, and I was not surprised to see a few judges. It is what it is. But I am so grateful to see how many people follow and learn from this channel because they want to be better. BirdTricks is amazing! I am also so happy for Sugar and his new family.

They have been fitting well with each other but after a lot of attempts, they just keep running away from me and I think they don't trust me. I feel very very sad that I could not gain their trust and they have to feel so uncomfortable when I reach out for them. I feel very hopeless. They eat, sleep and do other things alright but I haven't developed that kind of relationship with them. I was wondering if you have something to help me.

@@aashidhiman2163 Hello Aashi, to tame budgies can take very much time. If they are scared of anything, it can be a good advice to go a step back, maybe to start new from the beginning. Maybe you can start again only talking to them. Do not speak very loud to them. If they answer, your on a good way. You have to be consequent, but patient. When you reached a step further, do not try too much. Stay there for a while and then try to do the next step. If they get nervous again, go a little step back until they seem to feel comfortable and calm again. So you can slowly win their trust.

Many years ago I had to teach PetsMart employees how to sex a budgie.

As someone who is 6 months in to training process of a flighted budgie, this is a great resource to starting that trust and very different content to the Blueberry experience. I want to say that as our bird was new from a breeder, he was fearful of millet spray and would not eat it for about two weeks, even after removing his food. This was disheartening because most videos show this as the first step in developing trust. We found target training with a chopstick with verbal encouragement worked better in the initial weeks. He then moved to eating loose seed from our palm. When our bird started to become interested in the millet spray, training moved a lot quicker. I thought it was worth mentioning to try other things, if some are not working for you. We also stuck to making sure our bird wasn’t without food for more than 2-3 hours. When people are learning how to look after a new bird, times like this should be specified in information videos to keep the bird safe.

thats amazing...its cute how ur daughter didnt want to leave his side...sugar is now getting the life he deserves....

This is so great! Budgies need us humans to see this! This was my experience, with my flighted, baby budgie. I did it without anyone helping and I can see so many benefits to having the whole family involved. Younger siblings (anyone) can sit next to the cage and read or eat or any quiet project. The time and patience at this starting point pays off! So excited to see his progression and the first "trick" training session! Have fun, Capri!

BUT the speed is because of a collection of we do and don't do. Anyway, YAY! so happy to hear your life with budgies is great 😃👍

For a budgie Millet always has value. I have never been able to get my budgie to eat meals so she always has food but millet or seed always gets a response. It’s refreshing to see that maybe I did train my budgie correctly because I didn’t know what I was doing and when I first got her I did the exact same thing Jamie did with the millet and just having her eat the millet. I always felt like that was the low skill way to do it but apparently it was correct. Either way she’s glued to me now she actually follows me around the house and climbs all over me which is exactly what I wanted.

This was so cool to watch! I have a budgie who mostly stays in her cage (although I keep it open almost all day) and it's so interesting to see how similar Sugar's body language is to her's.

Love the video! I've had one flighted baby(from ebay) and one clipped baby (from highly-rated breeder). And my flighted one actually warmed up to me faster and would fly to me on his own about a month in, despite never being socialized by his original owner. I got my clipped budgie a month later, and she knew I wasn't a threat, but she was never confident enough to interact with me, despite me working from home and interacting with them, until 5 months later when her feathers grew in and she had more autonomy over where she wanted to go. Now, they both come out to play as soon as I open the cage in the morning, and they'll fly to me nibble my hair, play with my watch, drink water from my cup lol (owner's water MUST be tastier than water in cage right?), etc.. I was almost convinced that my second budgie would forever only want to play with my first budgie and not with me since I didn't have room to get a separate cage but it all worked out. I remember Jamie talking about how clipping a bird can give them low self-confidence and now I can say I've seen it first-hand!

You can try training them separately in this way.... Have one in the cage eating its favorite treat so that it is distracted by eating. Take the other one out and work with it in the same room. When you are working with should be getting a millet treat as you were working with it. The one in its cage won't care what you're doing with the other one because it is getting too much on its favorite treat. During this time you might also be able to move the bird that you are working with into another room because while the other one is eating it most likely will not call to the other bird because it is too busy eating. Or you can do this in the same room where they can still see each other. Anyway this might help. Every bird is different and great advice doesn't work on every bird in the same way. But this is what I would do because I have 14 veggies and often have to train one in a room with anywheres from 4 to 8 other birds. Talk about distractions! And because I have two flocks, I am experienced with dealing with flock issues and distractions. --- Christine 😊🌴 at paradisebirdcare.con

Thank you for your new budgie project. I received a rescue budgie in January. Third home is a charm. Sky was also flighted when I got her. I bird proofed a bathroom and let her come out without big scary humans around. I put a bird video in with her for company and to tempt her out of the cage. She took very short flights as her muscles weren't very strong. Her cage was small but we've kept it her sanctuary and it's her favorite perch during open cage time. Hope to advance to how well Sugar is doing.

I love your show. I want to learn everything I can so I can get a bird. I've never ever gotten an animal without education I can get. You are the best!

Yay I love small bird videos!😊

Hey, just wanted to say that Sugar is definitely a boy. He is a recessive pied which means that his cere will be pink his whole life. Baby budgies have pink ceres if boy and white or tan ceres as girls. Adults will have tan to dark brown if females and blue or in some cases such as this one, pink ceres depending on mutation. Recessive pieds, DEC and inos will have pink ceres their whole life or sometimes pink and blue mix and dominant pieds will have pink and blue mixed or blue ceres.

Yes my first thought was to take the mirror out and the millet, probably will help as you said, "great minds"n and i also thought same as you, "toys he can destroy" wow we surely think alot alike, i have a gcc, and he came out the first day at 3 1/2 months, he's trick trained, potty trained, and indoor flight recall, thanx to your videos and advice, so now he will be 3 years old, oh also i trained him the difference between windows, thanx again for showing this, i use a chopstick and clicker, and only treat when he does what i ask, he's come along way, again thanx to you and your hubby!! Love you guys!!👍♥️

Try taming him again, perhaps get him a companion. Even if you have to keep the birds in separate cages, put the cages close together so that they can socialize (in this case it really doesn't matter if you get another lovebird or a budgie or whatever). Put some relaxing music or some relaxing TV shows in the room where the parottlet is. You'll get his trust back some way or another. But definitely get another companion for the parottlet. Let me know what happens mate (I am a proud owner of 9 budgies and 1 zebra finch, I tamed the budgies, but they scream a lot and bite me sometimes, but I don't care. I wouldn't recommend taming zebra finches, unless you really know how to tame them. Big cages and lots of toys and perches is the key to owning birds)

You are so sweet and cute cute daughter!! What amazing progress! Can we get more videos pls of Sugar ❤💜🌈

So good to watch this video 🤗❤️

Yes! Another budgie!

I have always had parakeets. One called Pied breed, which I knew nothing about at the time. I also had ceiling fans, which one ALWAYS have to have OFF. I did the same thing and limit the room space. My parakeets would steal spaghetti noodles off my plate, liked it was worms, run around the table eating it.. Lol and they equally LOVED Strawberry season. A nice balance of fruits and quality seed mix is what I did. Like others, I would get “special treats” along the way. With toys, mine loved mirrors everywhere, chew toys with bells, and anything he could chew on that had something toy like for them. Parakeets love baths too. Mine also had a “fountain” aka me with a water bottle sprays. Everything parrots do, a parakeet does, just on a smaller scale. They are Little Disney Birdies with a Biker attitude. LOL 😂😂🐦💙💚🤍💛❤️ I don’t doubt your ability with them. You love your birdies and home is always home with you too.

"Little Disney birdies with a biker attitude." OMFG That tickled me SO pink that I almost snorted my coffee out of my nose lolol. I have 2 kakariki's and a Zebra finch that just joined our family after well over 15yrs of not having a feathered soul-companion (2 Budgies and a Cockatiel). They have been with us a week almost. The long calm process of taming will begin shortly. Thankfully they are even now ok with me putting my hand in their places of dominion and the male Kakariki and Zebra finch have both come to the sides of their Dominion and nibbles the side of my head and tried to pull a few hairs out while chirping in my ear 😊...(I call it their Dominion not a cage as that is where they will sleep and feel safe, by the time I'm done they will be free roaming in the house and have an aviary out in the back garden. It will be their domain NOT prison).

Can you do a lovebird -not tame -scared -older than 5 months -bites kinda hard It would help me tame my birds im trying to tame them but 1 keeps biting me and the other on steps up with one feet

If someone with a lovebird that fits that description needs their help she’ll do that but it doesn’t just happen that quickly

So many of birdtricks training videos can apply to most birds, try with feeding breakfast and dinner separate and training before each meal. Even starting with offering treats in the cage before meals. Never grab your bird. Target training as well. good luck!

I've had my albino twin parakeets for over a week now. I'm I'm so excited to try to teach them some tricks!🤓

All BirdTricks video have greatly educated me. I wish a Federal Law could be passed that make pet stores give info upon purchase that they would have 24 hours before they can pickup their bird that would educate them on their needs and if they really had the time to incorporate them into their families.

You are amazing!!! I want another bird now..

Oh he's so cute.

Love the video thank you!

I just got a new bird yesterday, and I already have 1 parakeet by the age of 2. And I have the new baby in quarantine. I like to open the cage and leave millet on the little platform. And she only comes out if she wants to, she seams to be very calm!

Its always a good idea to get two budgies so they can keep each other company when you are busy

Thanks for sharing

I love it, when the natural instincts click and come out! Also I just found out that there was a parakeet native to the usa well subtropic south the Caroline parakeet sadly extinct now. any how great video I passed it to my mom I got her 2 for mother's day last year. Thanks you for making this video!

Hi. BirdTricks 💯❤👏👏👏👏👏👏🐦🥇OMG you are the best👏👏👏👏❤😍your daughter is so sweet and she is so smart just like her mom 👩‍👧

I got new budgies and they are fully flighted so i am trying to tame them your video really helped

Birds make work fun 🥰

Another great video

I did not train my aviary budgies at all, but they just got tame on their own as they got to know me. They knew when I was coming I was bringing them delicious food, or new branches (which they love to chew the bark off). After a time most of them are very tame now. I can go in the aviary with them and they will land on the food tray what I am carrying, and feed from it while I hold it. Some will land on my head or arms, and my Chinese Painted quails like to peck my feet. If I take millet spray in there I can hand feed the budgies. So, basically if you hang around with them a lot every day for a few weeks, give them treats and don't scare them or force them to do stuff, they will get so see you as a member of their flock... a big featherless budgie.

Nice work❤

I have a cockatiel that is flighted and not tame, so this will be very helpful. I did know to get the mirrors out right away though =)

After sugar’s quarantine, will you make a video on introducing sugar and blueberry? I’ve seen a few vids about this subject but i would love to see what you have to say on it.
