How to Regain your Bird's Trust?

[@ahishaabrahams8397]

Thank you for this! I really appreciate it to not lose trust in cockatiels

[@DaNiLY]

These videos are very helpful. I’m a first time budgie owner, have a two year old budgie named cobalt, when we first got her, we where scared she wasn’t eating or drinking as we never saw her do so- I stupidly grabbed her to put her closer to her food and drink, I hate my self so much for doing that, I’m still trying to regain her trust. Genuinely makes me almost cry just thinking about what I did.. I hope she can forgive me over time, I’ve been trying so hard with treats, talking very calmly and quietly to her, trying to teach her to step up. (I don’t expect anyone to read this, this was more for my self venting)

[@nima9872]

did you finally get her trust back? I have the same issue I let my cockatiel come outta his cage and then after a couple of hours i tried to grab him so I could put him back into his cage but he bite me and ran away so I tried to leave the cage next to him with its door open and finally he got back into his cage on his own but since then he doesnt respond me at all and whenever i try to get close to him he bites me or goes away

[@DaNiLY]

@@nima9872 it’s best to never pick them up unless absolutely necessary. I still haven’t got my budgies trust back, I’m working on it every day though. If you let your bird out, you will have to allow him to go back home on his own, or tempt him on your hand with millet / seed.

[@Ethankolambrath]

Same here instead my mom grabbed my bird and gave it a bath with water.

[@oelvan]

@@DaNiLYhow is it going ? I have 2 budgies the first one I got was in august and we did everything the buyer told us to do but the budgie never trusted us now I got my second on Monday and I’m doing things very different, I’m feeding her of my hand and she already trusts us and it’s just her 3rd day at my home. Now my other budgie we try the same and we hope he gains trust trough out the other budgie trusting us but I just started to try to regain his trust :( I use hope it’s not impossible..

[@DARKFLAME_OP]

I also have this issue with my budgie I garp him so many time I'm a very bad owner I'm trying so much to get my buggie trust back I'm so sad 😢

[@Ethankolambrath]

My African lovebird is a pain in the head. It used to listen to me and play with me so much until my mother grabbed th bird and gave her a bath with shampoo. Whoever experiences this problem and regains the birds trust please tell me what to do. Cause this bird won't stop biting me.

[@kwishii]

I love this video, one of my cockatiels come on my hand easily, the other one bites me when I put my hand close to him. This video was useful thanks!

[@Esther_Danielle]

It pains me to say but I have lost my little baby's trust I've had him since he was small I hand fed him and everything we were so close but I started loosing trust with him and now rebuilding trust is difficult but I am desperate I will continue to try everyday and try every day (edit nvm guys I gave him apple he loves me now😂)

[@Dimitr4a]

I really don’t know what I did wrong. I have my cockatiel for over 10 years and we’ve been perfect This year something happened and it doesn’t trust me anymore. He bites me all the time I try to spend time with him and we are good for a moment and when I get my hand close to him he bites I just tried to get him in his cage and he bit my hand so hard I now have a swollen wound. I don’t know what else to do… I have tried everything. I probably can’t regain his trust it’s over:(

[@ruby.d7]

i have had my cockatiel for a year now. when i first adopted him, i spent so much effort training him, and he became comfortable with me fairly quickly. he was the perfect bird and we loved eachother so much. since about 3 months ago he has been hating me and my family completely out of the blue. i didn’t change anything at all, and now he screams, bites, and won’t step up or allow me to pet him. if anyone has any other tips, please let me know. thank you so much

[@yukicbirdy2487]

I read somewhere that birds when they're in adolescence stage they can become aggressive. So I think that's why Yuk has become so aggressive lately. And since we haven't clipped his wings he flies around freely which is good, but might get him into trouble and I think going after him causes stress and makes him not like me. So I have to wait till he gets back to his cage. But even now he started not wanting to go back in the cage at night. I love him so much. But he can be very moody because I think he's in his teen years in human years cause they have hormonal changes when their not so young anymore. He used to be the most sweetest bird there is. Though I'm not sure but I'm going to see a vet to get his wings clipped and for an overall checkup. I don't know your situation but maybe that could be why. Yuki calls me when I leave the room for a short minute but when I come back he don't really wanna be bothered so I give him space when necessary. And lastly he might just be a little lonely so I'm trying to find a friend for him to be around when I'm not in the room so much. So yeah really worried about him because he's become a little aggressive which might be a byproduct of the hormones. 😔 Hope this helps and don't fret you're doing the best you can I'm sure. 🙂

[@ruby.d7]

@@yukicbirdy2487 thank you so much, good luck with Yuk!

[@R.444-]

@@yukicbirdy2487 ​ I do think that’s very common, I’ve been going through a somewhat similar thing with my tiel. Just like teenagers I think, they hit puberty and get moody. With parrots specifically, they can become broody and territorial, which impacts behavior and their relationship to you at times. She’s still very affectionate with me, but there are times where she gets territorial and aggressive in a way she never was in her younger years. Funny how ya fid parents can get a taste of what real parents go through ig lol. “They were such a sweet happy kid and now they hate me, what happened?!”

[@rubyydeee]

i am really upset because i didn’t realise the damage i have caused. i’m not going to sugar coat - just get straight to the point so PLEASE help if you can. i have a budgie, and i got it because my grandpa went to hospital and no longer has the physical ability to care for it, so i took the bird in about 3 years ago. when i got her, she had never had much human interaction so was very afraid of me. i worked and worked (throughout covid) to gain her trust and it worked, i got her trust. whenever i would enter the room she got excited and i would give her kisses, i would play with her for an hour everyday and she would fly around and play with me. although she never got to the point where she was comfortable enough to land on my hand/finger. i was very invested in my budgie and spent so much time with her, teaching her. anyways, when covid “ended” and everything started going back to normal i was bombarded with schoolwork, pressure and didn’t even have much time to myself on a daily basis, i still fed her every morning though. now she doesn’t have my trust anymore and is afraid of me because i’ve basically neglected her for 6 months and i couldn’t feel more terrible, im willing to do whatever it takes to regain her trust please help. also, should i get her a budgie friend? do they help?

[@GlennMarshallRocks]

Start by spending time with her again. Tell her how you missed her, and how you're sorry that you weren't there to spend time with her. Talk with her patiently, soothingly, and start being around her again. She'll remember the fun you used to have together. She'll understand you want to be with her again by the softness of your voice, and how you're speaking to her; and she'll understand you're trying to get her to understand... by doing this over time, and usually not a very long amount of time either, from my experience, she'll begin to trust you, and begin desiring to be with you again, as well. Within a few days of starting to do this, spending time with her, talking with her, sharing your feelings with her, for at least a half hour or so at a time, and preferably more than once a day (the more the better), she'll begin getting used to your presence again, and begin to trust you again. She'll start showing signs that she wants to have fun with you again, and from there you'll be all set. It just takes time and patience, and realizing that birds are social creatures, and once they've made a friend, they remember, and will always want to be friends again.

Thanks it really gained my cockatiels trust

We bought these pair and its been about 3-4 years and i still cant gain its trust they were aggressive when we first bought them and ive lost hope, my parents have thought about selling them someone helpp:((

[@aliyahgriggs1073]

For a couple months I was such a bad bird owner and I really regret it but I have gotten better with these steps could I gain their trust again

[@Sunny..cloudy]

I’m literally crying rn bc it took me 2 hours to get my bird back in its cage and now i think it’s afraid of me so I hope this helps ty

[@Kileh]

keep food and water only in cage, don't make it available outside so he knows his cage is his home and he needs to get inside to eat, you can give him treats outside and inside of the cage, but keep water and his main food inside only, he will want to get inside to eat and drink after playing outside the cage for hours

[@Nuggetlove666]

if I do something wrong I leave long and then she misses me and if I'm back she loves me again 💔👉💖

My cockatiel absolutely dislikes my hand....but, He quite likes my face you know, so I always give him sof a kiss on the head, instead of touching with hands

[@JustinDeMattico]

I’m not sure what to do. I’ve adopted my cockatiel and she’s a little over a year old and don’t think she was ever socialized and every time I approach the cage, she hisses at me. I feel like I’m getting nowhere and it’s been over a month of trying with her, never once even able to touch her, just me sitting near her and occasionally sticking my hand in and out of the cage slowly to try and get her used to that but still nothing. Any tips?

[@CHOP-il1cb]

My IRN lost his companion, who flew away. My IRN thinks that i took her from him, and he lost his trust

The guy”It takes time and Effort to socialize a cocktiel” and then theres my Cockatiels(Peach and mango) Mango is slowly becoming more Friendly but peach🍑 on his first day after i let him settle down after getting him He automatically wanted to okay and Come out his cage!😭 Hes so precious They were already hand tamed and Hand fed but they kinda Hissed and bit when it came to me because they absolutely loved they’re old Owner

[@M4tchaa_]

My indian ringneck is a very sweet girl, but one time I wanted to pet her and she ran away but got her foot stuck somewhere above her cage so I wanted to help her. She bit me pretty hard and I have still some marks left, but for me it was worth it. I think that she taught that I was the one who put her in that position so now she is pretty scared of me and wont even come near me. I’ve tried to make her come to me with food but it doesn’t work that well what can I do?

I just got my new first two birds in my life! They did not trust me and hid from be the first 5 hours or so I put my hand in and tried to gain his trust, worked JUST A BIT Then Olive (male) decided to venture out from his cage But he didn’t find the way back in So I carefully tried to pick him up to the entrance of the cage, he was really distressed and wanted to get back in (the other one was chewing/pecking at the rails) He resisted and I think he now doesn’t trust me again :( pls help, what should I do :(((

If your bird sees you carrying a cat, will it lose trust in you?

[@rogueisded]

My Quacker parrot Cosmo is my best friend. I love the little shit to absolute death, and he clearly still loves me. But he’s been somewhat distant lately. He’s been more reluctant to step up and receive scratches, moves away from my hand and is plucking his feathers. But I don’t know what I have done to upset him. Maybe it’s something my mum and dad have done? I’m not sure. I really hope he comes around soon cause I miss being cuddly with him.

My quaker Zazoo is 10. He used to let me hold him cuddle and scratch his head. Im trying to figure out if he hates me or just being a quaker. I hung a toy in the corner of his cage inside. when I go t the cage to interact with him he runs to his toy and starts chattering and messing with the toy I will play and talk with him and shake his toy.. He seems to enjoy that interaction. But if my finger gets to close to the toy he will bite and hard!! I know they . are nippy little birds. He never learned step up command, He'll say it but back up. He'll say dont bite but bite you anyway can you help with my little fella.

[@Kuromichan57]

My galah is a very scared bird. He flies up from any sudden sound or move someone makes. He can actually be so nice and tame that i can pet him and kiss him, but when he get scared of something he gets mad at me for days. I feel so devastated.. i didnt make him scared somethimes he just trips or sees an insect flying and it happens again but he always blames me in his head. I always have to rebuild his trust and i think i will never get him as tame as id like to bc of his scaredness. He has lots of toys and i give him attention every day but it doesnt get better.

And if you can't, let go of the bird and bring it back to the pet store. Someone will buy it again. Let the bird start over and decide what's best for themselves, what's right for them and what they want. Get a new bird for yourself, then learn from your mistake. Because birds want an amount of freedom to decide on things. If the bird is telling you to go away, do go away. Never return again.
