The target stick training I needed! She keeps flying away so I usually put the stick on top of her cage so she gets used to it. But this is even better!

[@misty_blue]

I am really glad the video is helpful for you! 😊

[@Melissa08087]

Awwww, this was such a cute video!!! So helpful too! I will definitely try this with my budgies 💖 Thank you!!

[@misty_blue]

Glad you liked it! 😊 I hope it will go very well for your budgies! We currently can't really do click trainings because we have 22 birds 😂 But with 4 birds it was definitely doable 😊

[@irisfang]

Thank you so much, I've started clicker training my budgies and this is a way better way to do it then what I was doing

[@misty_blue]

I'm glad it's working out! 😄

[@irisfang]

@@misty_blue I've progressed really far with my budgie Haru, he will bite the stick and has even started to follow it, but I haven't had much progress with my other budgie Asami, what do you recommend I do to get her to start training too?

[@misty_blue]

@@irisfang wow, congrats on the progress! 😊 In my experience, males are generally faster with training. Females generally have a more shy nature, though not all of them. In the end, every budgie has its own character. I've noticed some are very social and adventurous and some just like to sit on the same stick every day and watch the others. Maybe with some more time your female will dare to do more. She might also learn by watching Haru. Is your female interested in millet sprays?

[@irisfang]

@@misty_blue She likes millet but is much more skittish of people, she's older and lived most of her life without much human interaction before I got her

[@misty_blue]

@@irisfang ah that explains it! Our Misty is also like that. She's from a pet shop and had little interaction with people. By now we've accepted that she keeps her distance. Though she's become more relaxed. Now she always makes eye contact and sometimes talks to us ☺️

[@omarkhalaf3381]

for clicker training can i use a perch because thats the only target stick i have

[@misty_blue]

Yeah as long as they’re not scared of it 😊 It shouldn’t be too big.

[@omarkhalaf3381]

@@misty_blue ok thats good. my budgies allready like biting perches

[@rodringis4429]

Hii so cuteee birds, I have a question what’s this for? I know train but what you achieve with this

[@misty_blue]

One main reason is to make budgies less scared of you. It's important that they are tame enough because in some situations you need to be able to get them in a cage and do other things to care for them. It can also help to improve their behavior because sometimes they are aggressive or naughty.

[@pinkbubble6187]

this video helped a lot, i definitely subscribed right away. But how long does it normally take to get the bird to understand the clicking is meant for treats?

[@misty_blue]

Thanks, I'm very glad I could help out :) I think I did the conditioning about 5-10 times (on the same day) with breaks of a few minutes in between. Basically I went to the cage with the clicker and treat, clicked and directly gave the treat for around 10 times, then I sat on the couch for a few minutes and then I went back to repeat the process. For our male bird Blue, I stopped earlier because he showed he already understood it (he was already looking for the treat right when he heard the click sound). For our female bird I continued a few more rounds. Each bird is a bit different, so you also need to try out a bit. I think when you have some trained birds and you are starting to train another bird, they can also learn from each other. They see what the other bird does and then they follow. Although, training several birds together can get chaotic. I also noticed all birds feel differently about training. Some love it and even fight to touch the target stick, while others almost never participate. For us, Blue, Micky, Mini and Cyan are very good students, but Misty and Annie usually only watch the others train. Anyway, I hope you can tame your birds through training them like this :) Either way it definitely improved our birds' behavior.

[@misty_blue]

Yay! 😄 Welcome to the fam 🥰

[@YourFriendlyLion]

Ok I was about to start training as the courier arrived w/ the millet spray. Apparently now my budgies are scared of millet spray. What do I do now?

[@misty_blue]

Did you take a small piece or the whole spray? Our budgies were scared of it first because it was so big. I think I first left one in the cage for days until they would dare to taste it. Then they found out how tasty it was and they also wanted to eat it during training.

[@YourFriendlyLion]

@@misty_blue first I took the whole thing in, then I broke it up and left it in the cage without their food bowl for about an hour. When I saw they wouldn’t eat it, I gave them their food bowl back but still kept it in.

[@misty_blue]

@@YourFriendlyLion they might need a couple of days to get used to it 😊

[@YourFriendlyLion]

@@misty_blue So after Day 2 of the same remove eating pot and give millet spray, my budgies now eat millet spray. Imma try clicker training even tho they are scared of the sound. Gonna use a pen 🖊 instead this time. Wish me luck

[@misty_blue]

@@YourFriendlyLion yay that's great! 😄 It may seem little, but it's a huge step for budgies 😁

[@karenhaygood7080]

I can't even get mine to come to me. I have one which likes to come out on pearch when she gets in floor is the only time she will get on my finger. I feed and water everyday I have just taken the millit out when I go to the cage I offer it but they go to far corners so I stop what am I doing wrong

[@misty_blue]

The same happened to me. They were scared of the millet because it was so big and they had never seen it before. I left it in a place in the cage or only partly in the cage so they could get used to it. I didn't put it very close to them, just somewhere in the cage. After a few days they noticed the millet didn't attack them 😋 so then they went to taste it. Once they tasted it, they loved it and then I could slowly start training them with it. They just need time to get used to new things 😊 So maybe if you try to introduce the millet slowly, it will go better. Don't force anything and don't go too close to them with the millet. Just let them come to the millet when they feel ready for it. I hope that helps! Feel free to ask anything else 😊

[@karenhaygood7080]

@@misty_blue no,no the millit isn't the problem it's me they don't like me.

[@karenhaygood7080]

Everyday I ease to them and talk to them and try to use they were eating millet. But now I feel guilty about taking it away from them so today I give him a small pieces but I haven't put no more in there

[@misty_blue]

@@karenhaygood7080 oh I'm sorry I misunderstood 😅 If they are afraid of you, maybe they need to be around you longer. It already helps when you're in the same room with them every day for an hour or longer. When they see you enough, they notice that you are not a threat to them. You can also talk to them calmly and kindly. It can take days to months, depending on how the bird is. But bit by bit they will feel more comfortable.

[@karenhaygood7080]

@@misty_blue I'm in the same room every day I every little while I'll go and talk to them and offer millet if they back away from me I'll close the cage and go back and set down but I talk to them constantly

[@budgiepalace7646]

ur doing great with ur budgies and if you want to you can check out my seeds to pellets video if your birds eat no seeds then they will come to the treat more often and be able to train better because millet is in most bird seed mixes but they look great :) ur doing a great job taking care of ur budgies

[@misty_blue]

Thanks for the tips! So far they don't really eat the pellets we give, but we keep trying to diversify their diet. I think they do prefer the millet we use for training because it's better quality (I order it online). The millet in the mixes doesn't look as good. I'll make sure to check out your video 😊

[@budgiepalace7646]

@@misty_blue that video was a bit everywhere but i can break it down for you you can wet the pellets until it a mush like just squish the pellets and make sure its a 25% ratio so the first time you do it do 25% pellets & 75% seeds and just keep increasing pellets and decreasing seeds but don't leave it in their cage for more than 2 hours for bacteria reason and im happy ur taking mt advice and ur right the millet in seed mixes are not the best quality

[@misty_blue]

@@budgiepalace7646 I just watched the video, but thanks for the extra info! 😊 I feel like they wouldn't like to eat the food wet like that, but I guess I could give it a try 🤭

What of my budgie flew away. I tried to open cage to let my previous budgies fly in the room. But they all flew away from never returned

[@misty_blue]

I'm so sorry to hear 😕😪 I hope you can still find them 🥺

[@Kyra_of_Kerkyra]

It looks so easy... But my birds are really scared, I can't even start training them because they fly like crazy when I try to approach them, with or without a stick 😢😢😢 This only works for birds who are pretty comfortable around people

[@misty_blue]

I know how you feel. It was like that for us for the first year or more. We spent a lot of time next to their cage without moving much and waiting for them to get used to us. Misty and Blue are from a pet store and were not used to people at all. That's why it took very long for them to get more comfortable. Some days they still avoid me though. I've noticed it works best when I just stand in one place with the millet and wait until they come to me. For instance, I place my hand with millet on top of the cage and wait until they come. It can take many minutes though. For me it helped when I was just talking to other people while my hand was there, so it didn't feel like I was waiting that long. Especially early morning and late afternoon they are more interested in exploring. I hope your birds start getting more comfortable around you!

[@Kyra_of_Kerkyra]

@@misty_blue Thank you, I will make sure to spend as much time as I can with them first. When they get more comfortable with me around them, I'll try the millet clicker training. Thank you for your advice and your video 🌹🌹🌹

[@misty_blue]

@@Kyra_of_Kerkyra gladly done 😊 One of the reasons I'm making these videos is because of the frustration and insecurity I felt when we first got budgies. Although I love them very much, they do require quite some knowledge and skills. I've had bunnies and cats, among other pets, but budgies are definitely the most fragile and sensitive pets I've had 😯 But it does get better with enough patience and care! 😊

[@Lively2Peace]

to the person(s) with the scared flighty/ panic when people come near birds; Simply pull up a stool , if you can leave it there nearby their cage, and then just take 5 minutes or start with 3 minutes, no less, but same time it takes to change food & water( perhaps?) and just sit there calm taxes and make your best soft Parakeet sounds, pick a sweet them song you always like, cheerful( for example, For my Parakeet/ Budgie " Leela"; Be Bop a Leela she's my baby, be bop a Leela and I don't mean maybe, etc")( I Love You I Love You, I honestly Love You; Olivia Newton John 1980's) I got ( birds name) on a cloudy day, when it's cold outside I got( birds name) O I guess you say, what could make me feel this way.. My Bird( birds name if you like) repeat etc) any sweet song sing it soft and sincerely near or start softly away from the cage, I sing songs with and to them all day and have bed time theme songs, change food and water theme songs builds trust Bec they learn fast too,! to know what to expect what song means what next Good thing! and trust forms. I am a " talkie" person do easy for me but first teach yourself to be more talkie just for your birds, they love to" do you wings".when you see them stretch their legs and wings it's often until well aqusinted with you an anti anxiety expression they use to have self control and are actually paying close attn playing non chalant. so I bend at waist spread my arms slowly and put one leg back and say I do you wings" you can say your or our,and in morning aft uncovering to get that class like calm attn.We do; do you wings.I slowly switch legs bend put my arm back and slowly extend arms from body spreading my fingers,it's part of being flock leader /acceptance progress they get comfortable with your movements with decrease of fear increase of confidence safe to trust that comes with sincere desire & patience. It's hard to be patient for something much feared. They will overcome, keep sm children, other pets blocked away, that pet Parakeets can adjust, then they LL gain trust. they actually want to bond with you. one will be braver or more scared than another, but the least afraid bird will lead / show the other all's well/ it's ok. Spend time sitting near by in a chair with phone or tablet just don't shove any things at them or fast. the know they are prey creatures, and mechanisms on guard to be steady progress over come. once calm with you and good interaction 15-30 minutes, then start clicker training!Best to You!

They probably need quite some time to get used to that. I was training budgies from family a bit and I stood there for like 15 minutes with millet in my hand. Then they finally dared to eat. I think with little steps every day, your budgies will become more comfortable around you! 😊
