How to Tame Your Budgie | Compilation 2

Welcome to the complete guide on how to tame your budgie and gain its trust. This video will cover everything you need to know, from bonding with a skittish budgie to teaching it to step up and even fly to you. By following these instructions, your budgie will be tamed in no time.
One of the main reasons people choose budgies as pets is because they're small, cute, and can become great companions through bonding, cuddling, scratching, and following you around. Taming a budgie is a process that can take anywhere from a week to a month, depending on the budgie's age. Younger budgies are easier to tame.
Before you start taming your budgie, there are two important things to remember. First, don't take your budgie out of its cage before it learns to step onto your finger. Doing so may cause it to lose trust and try to fly away from you. Second, don't try to tame more than one budgie in the same cage, as they will distract each other and won't cooperate.
Millet spray plays a crucial role in taming your budgie. Your budgie sees it as a tasty reward. Start by introducing your budgie to millet spray and let it become familiar with it. Encourage your budgie to step up by gently pushing on its chest. Once it steps up, place it back on its perch and reward it with a millet seed. Repeat this process, gradually increasing the time between steps.
Remember to tame your budgie inside the cage until it learns how to step up. Only then can you start taming it outside the cage on a T-stand or similar surface. If your budgie flies away from your finger inside the cage, let it return to its perch and continue the process.
To gain your budgie's trust, you can enter your hand inside its cage daily for five minutes straight. Place your finger on top of one of the perches, allowing your budgie to get used to your presence. Over time, your budgie will feel more comfortable and less likely to panic when you interact with its environment.
Hand-feeding your budgie is another effective way to gain its trust. Start with millet spray, as budgies love it. Once your budgie is comfortable with millet spray, feed it the regular seed mix using your fingertips. Talking to your budgie regularly helps it become accustomed to your presence and creates a calm environment.
Teaching your budgie to fly to you can be a fun and rewarding trick. Start by offering a treat and asking your budgie to step up. Gradually increase the distance between you and your budgie, encouraging it to fly to you to receive the treat. Eventually, your budgie will associate flying to you with positive rewards.
Getting your budgie back into its cage without losing its trust can be challenging. Avoid chasing or grabbing it, as it will lose trust in you. You can use different methods to make it voluntarily return to its cage. The time to sleep method involves creating a dark environment and providing a single source of light near the cage. Your budgie's natural instinct will be to fly back into the cage for sleep.
The seduction method involves using your budgie's favorite treat to entice it back into its cage. Show the treat and place it inside the cage, then wait for your budgie to enter and enjoy it before closing the door. The "it should work" method involves leaving food inside the cage and waiting for your budgie to get hungry and go back inside willingly.
Remember to reward your budgie with a treat as soon as it goes into its cage, regardless of the method used. This positive reinforcement encourages your budgie for future interactions and makes the taming process more enjoyable for both of you.
