How to Tame your bird and BOND with it

[@flamingbridges1649]

I got my budgie from a breeder. The first day I had my hand in the cage and had him eating from my hand. I'd spend all my free time sat next to the cage just talking to him while I watched TV or ate. He was let out after 4 days and was flying to me. He's over 1 year old now and is the most affectionate budgie I've owned. He has these rubber ducks that he loves and he gets jealous if I pay them attention and not him

[@simeloney]

Thank you so much. I'm trying to take care of my little blue chicken these days. She used to get farther away from me when I got close to her cage in the past but after we moved and i started spending more time near her because of my little job, she now doesn't fly away, she just goes crazy when i reach my hand inside her cage to fix something or fill her food and water. İ sometimes baby talk her while working and my sister says that she listens to me very well. İ love my little nugget, and yesterday I almost couldn't sleep thinking of watching your videos to learn about bird care and to take better care of her. I love her so much and thank you so much for making these videos ☺️

Thank you, I really hope this works. My bird thinks he’s my boyfriend and screams when he’s not with me, he constantly bites me but I’m trying to train him out of that. I spend everyday with him and didn’t know what else he wanted since he’s always with me. I love him so much and cuddle with him (when he lets me), share food with him and (attempt) to play with him. I let him fly around and get exercise but my dad has really bad anxiety and my bird really stresses him, so he yells at me when my bird is flys around. If I can’t train him my dad is going to get rid of him so I really hope some of these work. Love your channel by the way.

[@steernaught]

He could be hormonal because of spring, try closing the curtains sooner and give him 12 hours of sleep in the dark, this will trick it into thinking it’s winter and could make it stop being hormonal

[@nobodynobody8646]

Hello. Im sorry if Im bothering you but I have two questions. Is it good for my bird to give him tap water? And is it okay if I put my bird near my devices? Since I don't feel like budgies cannot drink tap water and they cannot go near electronic devices like this guy said. Im gonna become bird owner on around saturday or sunday this week, and I just need little bit of some advice. Thank you.

[@Ducky-nj6zz]

@@nobodynobody8646 oh my goodness I’m so sorry! I only just saw this. I’m not really a bird expert but Tap water should be fine for a bird. As for technology it would depend on what type. Something that produces heat I would recommend moving or something that produces light constantly I would also move because it could mess up your birds sleeping schedule. I hope this helps a bit. ❤️

[@intellivisionmaster7999]

Tap water is the cleanest water a bird ever consumed. They’re used to drinking dirty water from puddles or off the grass. Straight tap water is like Perrier to them! :)

[@downergamin]

Okay, i must be really lucky and i want to tell my story rn. So i've bought Tosha like a week or two ago. He's like 1 month, just from the nest. He escaped the first time, but we captured him quickly. So, i got him into the cage and started talking with him. After a little bit of time he started to go onto my hand, and i could even groom and scratch him! Crazy right? But he still wouldnt go onto my hand by himself. At somewhere day 5-6 he started to go onto my hand without me making him. He even started to fly onto my hand these days! This is my first tamed budgie, and im so happy. I was getting budgies when i was like 10 and i didn't even care about them, now i do. Just get them when you're like 13 and be really persistent. Good luck!

The key is getting a young bird. Many pet shops don't have young birds and most are traumatized by the constant hand slapping against their living spaces. They are terrified.

[@Hasan...]

How young are we talking if I want them to become fully tame eventually..? I would appreciate if you can advise based on your experience. I got mine (two of them) completely untamed from a pet shop when they were around 6 months old, and now (after 3 months). I spent quality time with them and they're tame enough to step up, fly to me (if I have a millet spray), eat from my hand, even do a few tricks (for the millet spray), they're quick learners! --- BUT --- not tame/trusting enough for me to move them around in the house on my hand or pet them on their head etc,.. Assuming I continue to do everything right, and since my budgies are cooperative, how long do you think it'd take for my budgies to become fully tamed with 100% trust? Thanks!!

[@MisterTene]

@@Hasan... I've "tamed" two older birds, that were very aggressive and very fearful. Just have to learn about proper bird training. Even young birds will become untrained if you are making to many mistakes in handling them, the older they become, the less tolerant they will be with you

[@sushithebudgie4990]

i got one of my birds from pet supermarket and hes the best of all- even his son (raised at my house) is worse than him. i think i was lucky! :D

[@MimiLeonheart]

I got 4 budgies a month ago. It’s difficult to tame them all especially that each one of them has their own personality. Also females are aggressive and so scared still, and fly away when I feed them. The males are so friendly and slowly getting used to me. I usually open the cage for them everyday, they roam in my room as much as they like, then get back to the cage by themselves. But I wish if they can get on my hand and stop flying away from me 🥺

[@MimiLeonheart]

@@skibidoop2355 thank you. One of the males started to build a bond with me, he responds to me when I talk to him, jumps on my hand when I reach him, and sometimes stays on my shoulder watching with me. He’s adorable 🥰 What worries me is the females, I think they’re difficult to tame and control. One of them is bossy and loud, I believe she’s jealous as well, whenever I feed them, and they get on my hand, she makes these budgies loud noises, fly over them to push them off my hand and disturb them, causing them to fly away and hang at the top of the cage. The other one is scared all the time and only cares about her swing lol she literally fights for it when the others get on it 😂

[@MimiLeonheart]

@@skibidoop2355 they are adorable, and I believe they’re young still, judging from their acts. The shy one is Moonlight, she feels safe to eat from my hand when she sees the others eating from my hand. I can’t get my hand near her at all, whenever I move slowly to touch her while she’s eating, she moves away. She’s always alerted

[@MimiLeonheart]

@@skibidoop2355 yes, I believe so. Thank you for your kind concern and time. Have a good day 😊

[@MimiLeonheart]

@@sarahs5386 I believe it depends on many things, as their age, their personality, or the environment around the cage. I’m not an expert but ever since I got my budgies, I started to watch videos and read a lot about them. Try changing the position of the cage. Remove any big objects surrounding the cage, put flowers near it, or fake trees, put it next to the window where they hear other birds outside, that perhaps will attract them to explore and step off the cage

[@MimiLeonheart]

@@sarahs5386 One major thing to do as well, talk with them. Budgies are smart, they really understand us very well, that impresses me every time!

[@intellivisionmaster7999]

My new budgie is a scaredy-cat! And It took him 4 days to find his large water bowl in the cage! That luxury water thermos with the metal button on it is as useful as a large rock. In 100 years he won’t know that he can get water out of it. Thus I bought two birdy-water-bowls for him. So far his favourite playtime activity is flying around the house screaming like a maniac. This is going to take some work. :) :)

For anyone who doesnt know: you should get a bird from a breeder since if u get it from a breeder the bird when it grows up thinks that hes ur kid and will not be terrified from you the reason i know this is because i got a baby bird and a grown up bird and the baby is so much more nice instead of the grown up the grown up one i have is really aggressive (hope this helps!)

this is unfortunately not true. every bird is different. I have a bird hand-fed from a breeder and she is super aggressive and another one that was raised by birds and he is super chill. A lot more plays into this
