    Same. The stupid thing is I'm an idiot so even though biting hurts only a little, I always flinch so hard I scare Dawn, so she wants to bite more. So basically we're both in training, while Iris the superbudgie is chill no matter what.

    How long did it take for your second parakeet to Acclimate to your table? How did you get him to stay on? Mine for sure likes me. She sits comfortably on my finger perch. She also flys to my shirt, climbs up it and sits on my shoulder. Everytime, I bring her to my black table she freaks and flys away. Just like it took time for her to adapt to my hand while she was in her cage, I image it’s going to take a week or 2 before she feels comfortable or motivated

But as soon as he bought it a companion from petco the both of them want nothing to do with people. The one bought from petco is extremely afraid of hands. I’ve had them for over a year and still no progress

    Kiwi and Pixel are so happy on the table, sink, etc. My budgies don't seem to come down from their higher perches and swings unless they're on my hand or flying around. There's nothing to be scared of, no cats, other people or anything. How did you get them so comfortable at all levels in your room?

    @@KiwiandPixel Ah yes, mine were store-bought at about 4 months old. They are pretty tame now - They'll fly to sit on my hand and head (if I'm standing, not sitting), and groom my hair and eyebrows, but mainly I think I somehow picked a couple of adrenaline junkies! Their favourite game to play with me, is to be waved around wildly on the end of a willow switch! Now I know for sure that birds sitting in the tops of trees during gales are doing it for the sheer fun of it! I wish they would come down to 'my' level just to hang out sometimes though.

    I've had my budgie for 3 months now and I STILL can't get him to come out of his cage (any more than a foot). I've tried everything. He freaks out if he doesn't have his cage right there where he can see it. How in the world do I get him out without scaring him half to death and losing any trust we've built? He still won't play with me either but he is finally playing inside of the cage (over the past month), so at least there's been some progress. This has been a LOT harder than I imagined! I had budgies as a kid and it was never this hard. Although, my Mom probably did a lot with them while I was at school. Any tips would be appreciated! He's a really moody little guy.

  • @cd4536
    @cd45362 жыл бұрын

    The treat doesn't need to be given immediately. He should be taught clicker recognition first. After he knows that the click gets a reward you are supposed to add time between the click and the treat then multiple clicks before a treat so he will do the behaviors without a food reward. Reward new behaviors generously obviously, but you should be able to phase out the treat or you will end up with one fat bird.
