This is such a CLEAR & EASILY UNDERSTOOD video. So many Budgie “teachers” Online get so complex & wordy. This Step-By-Step description AND so many good video clips reinforce the steps. Excellent Teaching!!! 👍🏻
I’m taming all 3 of my budgies together right now. It’s taking a bit, but definitely faster than it was taking with just the one I had. She was very timid, but having friends is helping her and the others.
I found it easier to tame mine with other budgies together too .. because one follows what the other does. If one trust me then the others feel safe with me.
These online instructional videos are pure bullshit the people that are showing this probably had birds since childhood and have had over hundreds of birds. I believe the birds you show the birds that you hand raised and are NOT like any bird that a regular person would buy from a pet store. Let me see how you train a traumatize bird from a pet store. That would be worth watching!! Teach us something so many are struggling to train. HOW CAN I FIND A HOME / HAND RAISED BIRD. IT Would be helpful if OWNERS posted a people who raise birds in the areas and can help train them. There’s gonna be another bird flying in the sky.
@@joynoble6314 I've had birds from childhood, had my first bird in1954, breed and shown them too. Salvador knows his onions, an English expression, he knows about budgies and their behaviour. An excellent and informative video.
My budgie was an adult budgie used this channels tips and after 3 days 3DAYS she got tamed she's so cute and calm I love it ❤️ Buy what was most surprising is that I didn't reward it with millet cuz it won't eat It from my hand but she's follow my instructions!✨
I am so happy and glad that my budgie sunberry learned how to step up without me even teaching! (I mean that day forward I still learn it to step up) but yes this vid would be very helpful for a beginner owner!
Same. When I stick my finger in front of my budgie SOMETIMES but rarely he flies away. But he has actually gained my trust a little bit and has now started stepping up onto my finger without me teaching as well. I’m so happy because it’s been a full year and he still hasn’t gained my trust until now.
My babies(I call my budgies my babies) they stay quiet when I open the cage but they will scoot away and try to avoid my finger that I lightly place on toys and perches.
@@Rexy_dino69 one of them have warmed up to me and eats from, and climbs upon my fingers already but the other one is still a bit nervous and scared of me. But When he sees the other bird eat from me he’ll get close and start eating too. But I got them yesterday so I don’t/didn’t expect one of them to be friendly so early/soon
My journey of training my 1 year old budgie ❤️ 1st day: I tried feeding him with my hand but he freaked out and was flying the whole time 😂 2nd day: I friend to feed him a seed but then u just bit my hand it got so red 🙃 3rd day : he gained some trust I putted my finger in front of him and he was scared at first but he started walking toward me slowly then he putted his hand on my finger but then went on his seat again 😭 4th: dayhe stepped on my hand and I roamed around the house with him on my shoulder 🥺🐥 My budgie did not have any problem I used the food method it worked :] Thankyou so much this vid helped a lot I always take him out of the cage when I am alone in the house because my brother I small and he freaks my budgie out while I do it alone or with my mother :]
What I did was when they were used to me sitting next to them while eating from the food box I wait for them to come down and hold the food box and after they get used to that I hold the food box and bring it to them and I let them be really hungry one day and they ate from my hand and I kept training them like that
I can’t wait to try this hack. I’ve had my parakeets for almost a year now. And I’ve been watching how two tame them. They are not tame yet but I will not give up.❤️
Thanks for making this video! i have been ignoring my birds due to tiredness or issues so i could never really try get their trust, but now i'm now trying get better and spend time with my birds that they deserve 😊
I have four baby Budgies that my own birds gave birth to. I just kept these four out of 14 babies. They automatically go in the cage at bedtime for some reason. It’s like they know when it gets dark out it’s sleep time. Two are are hand fed and completely tamed, and two are a work in progress. The hand fed are from one set and parents and the other two are from a different set of parents. I didn’t have the time to work with all four at once. But I’m getting there. Thanks for the great tips. ❤️❤️❤️
My budgie is officially starting to trust me now thanks so much my budgie is trusting me more he used to bite me so much now he barely even does that I just wanna say thank you again!
The techniques are the same, even if you need to regain their trust. If they have become afraid of hands, gently place your hand in the cage for a few minutes every day. It may take a little longer than with a ‘fresh’ bird, but it still works. I hope you earn back your bird’s trust soon 😊
I love this! I've had many budgies in the past and successfully tamed them, this video is spot on 👌 i also used to just put my hand face down into the cage if it were a particularly nervous/uncooperative bird and just leave it there.... I did this regularly until they were ready for me to raise my finger to them and offer a perch. I really miss having a budgie in the house but at the moment, my daughter has a cat
@ Salvador Budgie - Thank you so much for your helpful videos! It's much appreciated! I've ad my budgie for around 11 weeks now. He was pretty young when I got him. Although, we've made progress in that he trusts me inside of his cage and he will step up, etc. "IF" he's in the mood to cooperate. The problem is with getting him to come OUT of his cage. He will not come out on his own or with me trying to take him out. He's very afraid of the "outside" world, sigh. His wings were clipped by the pet shop, so that probably isn't helping him any with his fear. I've done all of the obvious stuff like attaching a bungi rope perch across the front of his cage even with a ladder that goes up to the top of the cage which has a play gym. The ONLY time he'll ever come outside of his cage is if he falls out while he's wildly flapping his wings. Then, he is desperate to return to the cage after that. I'm at a loss on what to do. I feel so bad for him to be in his cage so much. Any suggestions from anyone would be most appreciated. I want him to have a great life. He's a timid little guy so far, sigh, and super moody. He actually turns his back to me quite a bit. I keep his cage near where for a lot of the day so it's not me he's afraid of. I never imagined it would take this long to get him comfy with interacting and playing, etc.
I also struggled with this, but my cage is like in a house bc my budgie is new and its shaped like a house (the cage) so it has little like clips, not really but its metal so it bends and u could take it off (if you have it) and your budgie can fly right out! Im sorry this might not be so helpful but thats all i know bc i am a begginer with having a pet budgie, but i have got other pets in the past now i have a cat, and a bird. Again ifk how much this is rlly helpful but this is all i learned from when i started. Have a great day!!
Very comprehensive video. Thanks for encouraging me to work with them more You mentioned it's best to work with one budgie at a time. I have two that share a cage. I have a separate cage but they hate being apart. Would you isolate the budgies by putting them in separate cages during training? Thanks!
When I first got my budgies, I was very impatient, so I stuck my finger in the cage 2x a day once in the morning, and in the afternoon, it gained more trust, but still took a month for the budgie to get on my finger
Thanks!! One thing is not true, as a person who owns 3 budgies, no you can of course tame more than 1..you should never house it alone.. It really works i can tell.. And you can of course let it free fly if it isn't tame because they need it too.. They will return on their own to their cage for food etc so no chasing👍👍but i like your tricks, very good 👍
I agree, I have two budgies and both train them at the same time! Its kind of exhausting but with patience its worth it! May I ask do you pet your birds in the head? If so, can you give me tips on how for them to let me pet them in their heads?
I agree. My first budgie was mean and seemed really irritated. At first, I figured it was because she had such a small cage(18x18 in.). Thankfully, that HUGE issue was fixed when I was given a much bigger cage on Christmas. However, I also thought it was because she was lonely, so I got another bird. Then, I began to have a great bond with Blue, I even made a step up dance and a song to go with it, she cooperated every time! I had both a trusting bond with Lue and Blue, and all of the problems before were only because of her being lonely. It's a great idea to house more than 1 bird together. Thanks to this, I could take some comfort in knowing that they had a happy life when they died.. R.I.P Blue and Lue.
damn u really are telepathic i come on to yt to search for a video and i see yours on my recommendation, the exact thing i was looking for in the best quality bro i cannot get bored of watching ur videos
Thanks! Really appreciate the film You've made. My Cockatiel was covered in feces (from the transport box) and had to wash it the very first day. Thus our relation started rather rough and now is built much slower. After viewing Your video i know i didn't mess it up (yet! :D) - it just takes more time.
I got my little guys from a pet store, they came with tags on their feet which was clearly bothering them. I held them one by one, but because the band around their foot was made of a small metal, it took me a while to get it off, which mean i held them without letting go even though they were freaking out. I noticed i lost their trust I’ve built with them and its been a challenge gaining it back. Hopefully your tips will help me regain their trust back. THANK YOU!!!
This is really helpful! My brother got budgies recently, but doesn’t give them much attention. Now I’m aware about what I was doing wrong to give them that attention and what to do instead.
This is my second day of owning my new male budgie, Twister. He is already comfortable with eating millet out of my hand in the cage which I was amazed at. Is this a good sign that he has begun to trust me even at such an early stage? I want to do the taming process correctly and these videos are very helpful
Hi to those who are asking about Twister. He is doing really well. Chirps and sings away happily and responds to my voice and has begun to imitate the sound of kisses which I greet him with every morning. Eats loose seeds out of my palm as opposed to holding the long millet stem and he gets a belly rub few times a day. Was a bit skittish for a while when I attempted to touch him but enjoys it now and is a morning and nighttime ritual Currently in process of getting him to step up on my finger which hopefully shouldn’t be too long. He has sat on my finger already but I’m not really counting that as a proper step up. Talking to him and singing and whistling has helped us bond more to the point where when I come into the room, he gets visibly excited and happy to see me. Same with my little girl, eats seeds from her hand and allows a gentle belly rub from her. All in all, a very positive experience. In order for trust to be formed, you really need to put the time in to gain that trust. Literally just chilling with your bird every day, gentling talking and whistling or singing and the bond will grow more and more. An enjoying process and one which I will continually work on!
My ways are correct according to you. Thanks! I have more confidence now. My new budgies are WAY too paranoid of humans, so I place my hand on the cage and speak gently for now.
I'm really excited to try this I have an older budgie that I actually rescued from our hunter cats mouth x.x, she was very friendly and would sit on you for the first couple of days but unfortunately we had to orally give her medicine because she was sick and such, (vets didn't even think she'd make it through the weekend) but she's happy and healthy and we talk all the time she goes crook when I leave the room, I really wanna gain her trust back.
I hope you see this question, your videos have been very helpful to me so thank you! Question: do I need a UVB light? I'm in a budgie group and most say you don't as long as you give avimix or nutrobal, some say you do.
We found our budgie on a 7-11trash can. He was in rough shape. I set my hand down on the can and he walked into my hand and nestled down! 7-11 Trash Bird sat in my hand the half mile walk home. Open hand the whole time. We never expected a lil'birb but we love him to death! ❤
One of mine got killed by our cat. We came home and blood was smeared across the floor and feathers everywhere. Our second one…it flew off. Idk. 🤦🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️ And the third one died somehow when we came home. He was rock solid in the bottom of the cage. And our FOURTH one is STILL alive and has been through all of that. And crazy coincidence that cat attacked him and slashed his wing, and broke his foot. Luckily he’s still alive. Yes, he’s fine and his foot is healed. Not fully, but enough to where he can step onto my finger.
I caught mine outside Queen of All Saints Oct. 8. She was by the St. Francis statue but flew each time anyone tried to catch her. It was turning COLD in Chicago, raining and windy and the 5th day we were worried when we didn't see her. It had been in the 30s the night before... but then the girl I was hunting her with saw her! I was in my car already! We ran over then cautiously approached - she was tired we could tell. Flying up to the lowest nearby tree branch, she was slow. Poor baby! When she fluttered down to get the millet spray we quickly threw a large, very light weight mesh curtain from Ikea (Lill) over her and YAY!!! I held her in the mesh in my hand to warm her quickly. She became feisty and bit my fingers (so cute!) but we put her in a box with water and a millet treat and towel to transport her to my house. I got her a cage, sent her pic to a rescue guy, Richard, in Chicago. He said she was a female so I named my bright yellow budgie 'Dandy Lion" - she's yellow, she just one day popped up in the grass, she flies in the wind - and she is INTREPID! The heart of a true lioness... It's been less than 24 hours so she's not out of the woods but she just started tweeting a minute ago! She goes a little less banana than she did this morning when I approach her so that's good. She's listening to the radio and I lined the bottom with tabloid pages so she can catch up on Hollywood gossip 😆 I love her ❤️ Thank you for posting this valuable lesson-filled video! XO
Most budgies freak out initially but we took in one in which attacked as soon as you put finger in cage, actually drawing blood. What previous owner had done with it was unknown but they wanted rid of it because they said it was viscous. Having had budgies before we did not believe them but the bird was a lovely looking male bird nearly two years old. Carefully the bird gained our trust and became a fantastic pet which would fly to you and readily play on your hand. We had the bird for very many years.
@@elisae4335 I think it took nearly a week. Only by opening cage door and offering one finger nail towards bird at doorway and slowly getting closer each time. Also by offering green food and millet at doorway. Ultimately the bird would just tap my nail. It took quite while to get it to jump on finger. After that everything got better. Another thing this bird liked was having a bath, if the cage was open and you walked into room with the bath in hand , the bird would fly across room and plop into bath before you had got anywhere near cage.
Thank you so much bird nugget 😮 he didnt trust me any time now i did the things you said and now he trust me 😊 u are the best now when he comes to my hand i give him treats
Aww I love u guys so much for helping me train my budgie! I really miss those two lovebirds but they died they were my heart🥺 Thank u so much Salvador and Allen and Elle
So what do you recommend if you have 2 budgies that aren’t tamed in a cage together? Like how do you train each budgie individually everyday? And thanks for the video! I learned a lot from it. I have 2 budgies my self and would love to be able to train them 😅. They don’t trust me!
Hello! I’ve had budgies for about a year now and the best way to train them is to get a cheap, tiny cage with the purpose of training and cleanup. The cage comes in handy during cleaning because there’s no birds inside the other cage, freaking out because there’s two big human hands in the bottom of the cage messing with things. Sadly the first or second time you clean things they may not be fully accustomed to your hand so you’ll have to grab them to transport them between the cages. I don’t ever grab my budgies except to move or collect them when they’re not trained. After they reliably step onto your hand, then always just transport them by doing the step up method!
Okay im seriously inlove with your video's and i still need more advices- Cleaning bird poops? Do they just poop on us often? Or is it possible to tame them to not poop on us-
I have been training my budgie from the day we bought it, it's the most trained one I bought! it's also the most long living one of what I bought! accidentel fly away 1.fly to near myhouse 2.landed on my grandma's bed! 3.wandering around the house
Hi..My budgies flew outside the house and now it’s impossible to find them since i live in an apartment…On a higher level..they can’t fly back to me either..One looked like skip while the other looked like neo. Its really difficult to get over the fact that your flurry friend is not with you anymore… Its been a month and I can’t stop worrying about them…I loved them alot and hope to see them again..😭
Well... It's almost impossible for budgies to survive in the wild. So I'm sorry to say but your budgie might bet dead since they have lots of predators.Sorry
@@raifahm9259 yes I was born in Pakistan and in Pakistan and India birds aren't treated right.We kept 2 budgies in a not so bad cage.But we would never give it free flight time or feed it fresh water.One day I woke up and they were gone my uncle sold them. I feel ya
@@raifahm9259 I live in Pakistan and you should visit small bird shops they have crammed 100 of budgies in one cage and aren't even fed. now I'm not saying everyone in India or Pakistan treats them bad. people like you take good care of their budgie. But some people should really understand budgies are living creatures not a furniture
I just got my budgie yesterday, and she refuses to eat out her bowl... she only wants to eat from my hand, which is great, but she needs to learn to eat from her bowl when I'm not home. I love her so much 💗
Ok look my 8 month old budgie has still not gained my trust she keeps running and I have her for LITERALLY 3 MONTHS what do I do bro I did everything u said but my 5 month old budgie has already been tamed it took 1.5 months
Please dont push on its chest!The only reason the bird is stepping up pn your finger is cuz they dont wanna fell.Instead,put the millet in front of your hand and the bird will have to step up to eat the millet.And just dont enter your hand in the birds cage beacuse its their safe territory.
One year ago, they would be 2 years old now there’s three years old. I don’t think I have that much time to kingdom before they die. Hopefully they don’t die very soon. I love you G.
I have a parakeet who's been aggressive since the day I got him. All of my other parakeets are friendly. Anyway, the parekeet I'm talking about- He bites, and he bites hard. Unfortunately, he is clever and learned how to open his cage. So we had to modify his cage so that he couldn't open it the same way anymore, we had to chase him around and put a soft towl on top of him so we could grab him without getting bitten. He'd bite the towel as if his life depended on it. But I don't get it, I think he was abused by whatever company bred him cause ther is NO reason he should be THAT aggressive from day one. Any advise for taming a budgie that far gone or is he a lost cause?
I have 2 birds and the first one I ever got is the sweetest little bird I could ever ask for. My second one is a bit different though. Different personalities and yet they both get along so well. I just got my third and final bird today and I’m so excited to see how they will react when I get my final bird to trust me and love and get comfortable with me. I’m only here because I forgot how to tame a new bird.. it’s been a few years 😅
That's exactly what I was saying. Dude at 2:01 the way he said "and rewarded" had me dying. I have headphones so when I heard it I was like where the fuck did Kermit come bout from?

Budgies can’t train much or can’t focus that why you have to train them in a room alone

Yes, it's best to separate your budgies only for when you tame them, a few minutes a day, otherwise they can be in the same cage.
@@Bird-Nuggets well i have only 2 cages and it takes a lot of space for 3- and i have 3 budgies how can i tame them all?
Or do i have to tame them one by one..
And secondly one of my budgies was playing with the new one and later it seemed injured
Dk if playing
@@Bird-Nuggets love your videos new subscriber here and can you do a video of how to tame a cockatiel i have one its a male
When I first got my budgies, I was very impatient, so I stuck my finger in the cage 2x a day once in the morning, and in the afternoon, it gained more trust, but still took a month for the budgie to get on my finger
Thanks!! One thing is not true, as a person who owns 3 budgies, no you can of course tame more than 1..you should never house it alone.. It really works i can tell.. And you can of course let it free fly if it isn't tame because they need it too.. They will return on their own to their cage for food etc so no chasing👍👍but i like your tricks, very good 👍
I agree, I have two budgies and both train them at the same time! Its kind of exhausting but with patience its worth it!
May I ask do you pet your birds in the head? If so, can you give me tips on how for them to let me pet them in their heads?
@@urmoonlitup hey☺️☺️ yea exactly.. Yes i can but only little with food etc like millet because theirs not extremely tame yet 😅💜
I agree. My first budgie was mean and seemed really irritated. At first, I figured it was because she had such a small cage(18x18 in.). Thankfully, that HUGE issue was fixed when I was given a much bigger cage on Christmas. However, I also thought it was because she was lonely, so I got another bird. Then, I began to have a great bond with Blue, I even made a step up dance and a song to go with it, she cooperated every time! I had both a trusting bond with Lue and Blue, and all of the problems before were only because of her being lonely. It's a great idea to house more than 1 bird together. Thanks to this, I could take some comfort in knowing that they had a happy life when they died.. R.I.P Blue and Lue.
@@jordynwilson8200 that's awesome to hear😊👍 yes it's true, they love big cages and are tamer there..they are awesome birds
This is the best tutorial I've seen, and will use it to train my budgies. They're almost two years old, so fingers crossed 🤞
damn u really are telepathic i come on to yt to search for a video and i see yours on my recommendation, the exact thing i was looking for in the best quality bro i cannot get bored of watching ur videos
🖤
@@Bird-Nuggets what do you think is better a lovebird or two parakeets?
Thanks! Really appreciate the film You've made. My Cockatiel was covered in feces (from the transport box) and had to wash it the very first day. Thus our relation started rather rough and now is built much slower. After viewing Your video i know i didn't mess it up (yet! :D) - it just takes more time.
I got my little guys from a pet store, they came with tags on their feet which was clearly bothering them. I held them one by one, but because the band around their foot was made of a small metal, it took me a while to get it off, which mean i held them without letting go even though they were freaking out. I noticed i lost their trust I’ve built with them and its been a challenge gaining it back. Hopefully your tips will help me regain their trust back. THANK YOU!!!
This is really helpful! My brother got budgies recently, but doesn’t give them much attention. Now I’m aware about what I was doing wrong to give them that attention and what to do instead.
This is my second day of owning my new male budgie, Twister. He is already comfortable with eating millet out of my hand in the cage which I was amazed at.
Is this a good sign that he has begun to trust me even at such an early stage? I want to do the taming process correctly and these videos are very helpful
How's twister? is he tamed yet? 💖
Update please! I got my birds today and am hoping they’ll trust me soon 🥰
Hi to those who are asking about Twister. He is doing really well. Chirps and sings away happily and responds to my voice and has begun to imitate the sound of kisses which I greet him with every morning. Eats loose seeds out of my palm as opposed to holding the long millet stem and he gets a belly rub few times a day. Was a bit skittish for a while when I attempted to touch him but enjoys it now and is a morning and nighttime ritual
Currently in process of getting him to step up on my finger which hopefully shouldn’t be too long. He has sat on my finger already but I’m not really counting that as a proper step up. Talking to him and singing and whistling has helped us bond more to the point where when I come into the room, he gets visibly excited and happy to see me. Same with my little girl, eats seeds from her hand and allows a gentle belly rub from her.
All in all, a very positive experience. In order for trust to be formed, you really need to put the time in to gain that trust. Literally just chilling with your bird every day, gentling talking and whistling or singing and the bond will grow more and more. An enjoying process and one which I will continually work on!
ttttttttttttffffffffffffggggggggghhhhhhhhjjjjjjjjjjjjj
u explained the whole thing in such few words I am really grateful to u
So so so helpful, thanks! Even though I watched some of these already I rewatched it and it helped me a lot
My ways are correct according to you. Thanks! I have more confidence now. My new budgies are WAY too paranoid of humans, so I place my hand on the cage and speak gently for now.
*I HAVE A DREAM*
that my budgies will let me hold them like in this videos thumbnail 😭
Mr fat
That's gonna happen if you are Lucky
Did it happen yet?
I love seeing these types of comments years later with no response.
Same
Been wanting a budgie for two years 😩🤞, I know a lot about them but I learned new things today, thank you 🤭👍
I'm really excited to try this I have an older budgie that I actually rescued from our hunter cats mouth x.x, she was very friendly and would sit on you for the first couple of days but unfortunately we had to orally give her medicine because she was sick and such, (vets didn't even think she'd make it through the weekend) but she's happy and healthy and we talk all the time she goes crook when I leave the room, I really wanna gain her trust back.
Budgies : oh we love millets
My budgies: e w millets we love eggs 🤣🤣
9:13 This makes my parakeets tweet like crazy. (That’s right, all it takes is moving the curtain back and forth.)
I had no idea Kermit was a fan of Budgies
Cool
I just got a budgie today!thanks for the tips!😁😊
my bird hates my
My budgie is 4 months old now, steps up on my fingers now 😊 no millet, just praise
this is SO incredibly helpful. thank you SOSOSO MUCH!!!
Beautiful colors
Very inspiring and helpful content. Expecting a world of more similar contents from you.
Your the best just today in 2 days I tame my bird crazy it can already come on my hand
So adorable 🥰
I hope you see this question, your videos have been very helpful to me so thank you!
Question: do I need a UVB light? I'm in a budgie group and most say you don't as long as you give avimix or nutrobal, some say you do.
We found our budgie on a 7-11trash can. He was in rough shape. I set my hand down on the can and he walked into my hand and nestled down! 7-11 Trash Bird sat in my hand the half mile walk home. Open hand the whole time. We never expected a lil'birb but we love him to death! ❤
my budgie died yesterday, and i was crying non-stop, and my other 3 budgies are very sad, the one who died was just like 6 months old!!
Aww that sad :C
This is so sad, I hope all of your other budgies will be safe and healthy
One of mine got killed by our cat. We came home and blood was smeared across the floor and feathers everywhere. Our second one…it flew off. Idk. 🤦🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️ And the third one died somehow when we came home. He was rock solid in the bottom of the cage. And our FOURTH one is STILL alive and has been through all of that. And crazy coincidence that cat attacked him and slashed his wing, and broke his foot. Luckily he’s still alive. Yes, he’s fine and his foot is healed. Not fully, but enough to where he can step onto my finger.
I also lost a budgie a while ago..🥺😭
Aww I’m so sorry for you. My budgie also died and it was new as well. 😭
I just got buggies 7 weeks old already gained my trust😊
Thanks bro.
You amazing!!!
I caught mine outside Queen of All Saints Oct. 8. She was by the St. Francis statue but flew each time anyone tried to catch her. It was turning COLD in Chicago, raining and windy and the 5th day we were worried when we didn't see her. It had been in the 30s the night before... but then the girl I was hunting her with saw her! I was in my car already! We ran over then cautiously approached - she was tired we could tell. Flying up to the lowest nearby tree branch, she was slow. Poor baby! When she fluttered down to get the millet spray we quickly threw a large, very light weight mesh curtain from Ikea (Lill) over her and YAY!!! I held her in the mesh in my hand to warm her quickly. She became feisty and bit my fingers (so cute!) but we put her in a box with water and a millet treat and towel to transport her to my house. I got her a cage, sent her pic to a rescue guy, Richard, in Chicago. He said she was a female so I named my bright yellow budgie 'Dandy Lion" - she's yellow, she just one day popped up in the grass, she flies in the wind - and she is INTREPID! The heart of a true lioness... It's been less than 24 hours so she's not out of the woods but she just started tweeting a minute ago! She goes a little less banana than she did this morning when I approach her so that's good. She's listening to the radio and I lined the bottom with tabloid pages so she can catch up on Hollywood gossip 😆 I love her ❤️ Thank you for posting this valuable lesson-filled video! XO
Hey! What’s the best way of cleaning food and water bowls for budgies without using any bad products or chemicals? Btw, love your content!!
I think washing it through with water on the sink works just fine for me :o,
Water and vinegar is completely safe for birds! You can also use it to wipe dried poop
been using regular dish soap for years and it's fine. just be sure to rinse all the soap like how you do with the plates you eat off of
I always use either water and vinegar or water and dawn soap
Vinegar and water or Dr. Bronner's liquid Castille soap but most importantly, rinse in hot water then cool then dry completely.
my two kids parakeet are wild and my two parents buggie are so so sweet
Amazing Video
Budgies are so cute.Wish I had more than two birds❤❤❤
THIS IS A PIECE OF ART
your budgie is very pretty
I love all your budgies. How long does it take for a budgies cere to mature
12 months or 1 year
6 months
But budgie will be mature only at 1 year old
@@berrythebudgie9004 yes
Most budgies freak out initially but we took in one in which attacked as soon as you put finger in cage, actually drawing blood.
What previous owner had done with it was unknown but they wanted rid of it because they said it was viscous. Having had budgies before we did not believe them but the bird was a lovely looking male bird nearly two years old.
Carefully the bird gained our trust and became a fantastic pet which would fly to you and readily play on your hand.
We had the bird for very many years.
How did you do it?
@@elisae4335 I think it took nearly a week. Only by opening cage door and offering one finger nail towards bird at doorway and slowly getting closer each time. Also by offering green food and millet at doorway. Ultimately the bird would just tap my nail. It took quite while to get it to jump on finger. After that everything got better.
Another thing this bird liked was having a bath, if the cage was open and you walked into room with the bath in hand , the bird would fly across room and plop into bath before you had got anywhere near cage.
But in the thumbnail you showed how to loose a budgie's trust 🤣
Αγαπώ πατζυ τα λατρεύω..... Έξυπνα συμπαθητικά φιλικά κι χαδιαρικα... Καλή παρεουλα.....

Who is the best?
Thank you so much bird nugget 😮 he didnt trust me any time now i did the things you said and now he trust me 😊 u are the best now when he comes to my hand i give him treats
Aww I love u guys so much for helping me train my budgie! I really miss those two lovebirds but they died they were my heart🥺
Thank u so much Salvador and Allen and Elle
Thanks!!! I am your biggest fan from country georgia❤️ you help me to tame my budgie. I love him so much. He loves me too. Please read this comment❤❤
So what do you recommend if you have 2 budgies that aren’t tamed in a cage together? Like how do you train each budgie individually everyday? And thanks for the video! I learned a lot from it. I have 2 budgies my self and would love to be able to train them 😅. They don’t trust me!
Hello! I’ve had budgies for about a year now and the best way to train them is to get a cheap, tiny cage with the purpose of training and cleanup. The cage comes in handy during cleaning because there’s no birds inside the other cage, freaking out because there’s two big human hands in the bottom of the cage messing with things. Sadly the first or second time you clean things they may not be fully accustomed to your hand so you’ll have to grab them to transport them between the cages. I don’t ever grab my budgies except to move or collect them when they’re not trained. After they reliably step onto your hand, then always just transport them by doing the step up method!
Thank you so much! I will definitely try that out for sure! 🤝🏼
@@cynical5654 🙏🏽💯
You helped me with my two budgies
Okay im seriously inlove with your video's and i still need more advices- Cleaning bird poops? Do they just poop on us often? Or is it possible to tame them to not poop on us-
I have been training my budgie from the day we bought it, it's the most trained one I bought! it's also the most long living one of what I bought!
accidentel fly away
1.fly to near myhouse
2.landed on my grandma's bed!
3.wandering around the house
R/ Had a stroke
Hi..My budgies flew outside the house and now it’s impossible to find them since i live in an apartment…On a higher level..they can’t fly back to me either..One looked like skip while the other looked like neo.
Its really difficult to get over the fact that your flurry friend is not with you anymore…
Its been a month and I can’t stop worrying about them…I loved them alot and hope to see them again..😭
Well... It's almost impossible for budgies to survive in the wild. So I'm sorry to say but your budgie might bet dead since they have lots of predators.Sorry
@@TRlabel Its so hard to get over them because they were so smart and its heart breaking to know that 😭😭
@@raifahm9259 yes I was born in Pakistan and in Pakistan and India birds aren't treated right.We kept 2 budgies in a not so bad cage.But we would never give it free flight time or feed it fresh water.One day I woke up and they were gone my uncle sold them. I feel ya
@@TRlabel Omg i live in india too And that is horrible 😱
Hope they are in a better place with a better owner…
@@raifahm9259 I live in Pakistan and you should visit small bird shops they have crammed 100 of budgies in one cage and aren't even fed. now I'm not saying everyone in India or Pakistan treats them bad. people like you take good care of their budgie. But some people should really understand budgies are living creatures not a furniture
got mine today only time off connection with him is the food he is crazy for, cant wait for him to trust me more thanks for the tips!
Your female budgie is same like my male budgie and his chick spot are so tiny like your budgie.my female is clear flight pied green and yellow.
Before i used to carry my bird carefully to put her on my hand but now I watch your vids I learn how to make birds sit on my finger
Kermit.., is that you??
I just got my budgie yesterday, and she refuses to eat out her bowl... she only wants to eat from my hand, which is great, but she needs to learn to eat from her bowl when I'm not home. I love her so much 💗
Ok look my 8 month old budgie has still not gained my trust she keeps running and I have her for LITERALLY 3 MONTHS what do I do bro I did everything u said but my 5 month old budgie has already been tamed it took 1.5 months
I never thought I'd learn how to tame a bird from a saseme muppet, but here I am learning from earnie
Please dont push on its chest!The only reason the bird is stepping up pn your finger is cuz they dont wanna fell.Instead,put the millet in front of your hand and the bird will have to step up to eat the millet.And just dont enter your hand in the birds cage beacuse its their safe territory.
I don’t even own a bird and I thought the exact same thing.
He said gently push not knock it off. how you come to his channel giving advice? how bout make your own videos.
@@billytv223sfacts 😂
Best bird guide on youtube!
Because if YOU they now hop on my finger and stays in it and i can tickle them!! Still training on how they can fly to me ❤️
Update: the can fly to me, but one of my birds passed on January 23rd.
One year ago, they would be 2 years old now there’s three years old. I don’t think I have that much time to kingdom before they die. Hopefully they don’t die very soon. I love you G.

I wish my budgie was still alive :( he died last week on wednesday, he was tame from the moment we got him at the pet store 5 months ago
Rip 🙁
rip fly high birdie
Smart and adorable birds
This video was hosted by Kermit the Frog
Lmao
😂
Were you expecting Morgan Freeman or David Attenborough?
Today i am going to buy one . I thinks this will be helpful for me thank you for this video.
I have a parakeet who's been aggressive since the day I got him. All of my other parakeets are friendly. Anyway, the parekeet I'm talking about- He bites, and he bites hard. Unfortunately, he is clever and learned how to open his cage. So we had to modify his cage so that he couldn't open it the same way anymore, we had to chase him around and put a soft towl on top of him so we could grab him without getting bitten. He'd bite the towel as if his life depended on it. But I don't get it, I think he was abused by whatever company bred him cause ther is NO reason he should be THAT aggressive from day one.
Any advise for taming a budgie that far gone or is he a lost cause?
Make sure he is gettimg enough sleep because budgies that don't get enough will also be aggressive
Thank you for this information! I jus got 2 budgies today and I’ll totally do this a remember this !
u forgot one of the reasons why people buy them: THEY ARE BEST STARTER BIRD PETS
Have a young aviary budgie for a bit over a month now. Will step up on my finger with a treat but thats about it so far
I have seen this same video on your channel but this video is best💯
I❤❤❤BUDGIE’s
Haha flying on ur head ?!
Hello 👋how are you doing?
I have 2 birds and the first one I ever got is the sweetest little bird I could ever ask for. My second one is a bit different though. Different personalities and yet they both get along so well. I just got my third and final bird today and I’m so excited to see how they will react when I get my final bird to trust me and love and get comfortable with me.
I’m only here because I forgot how to tame a new bird.. it’s been a few years 😅
I bought 2 budgies this is going to be fun😅😅
Kermit the Budgie whisperer
That's exactly what I was saying. Dude at 2:01 the way he said "and rewarded" had me dying. I have headphones so when I heard it I was like where the fuck did Kermit come bout from?
I leave my budgie cage open from 12-6 and it goes back in for food when it wants thank you for the tips!! And bless your budgies
