“Imagine someone chasing you around your room, forcing you to have a bath, touching your feet and head, and so on..” These are all things my mom had done 😆 (whenever I was really young, of course)
Feeding out of your hand + calmly talking to them feels like the single best taming technique 👌👌 Also, preferably get them very young (max 5 weeks old), and let them sleep / warm up in your hands while they're still used to being in a nest. This is by far the most effective and long lasting method to gain their trust 👌
I am trying. My male budgie is showing some sort of friendly attitude so I can pet it in hand but the female keeps biting with her sharp beak. It's very hard to tame the female 😔
My bird lose his trust with humans😢 My uncle used to grab him on his cage so he became aggressive. So sad, but I love him so I will not give up until I can pet him!
Try keeping the budgie inside of the cage, and SLOWLY moving your hand around the cage for 10 minutes a day. When the bird doesn't run from your hand and doesn't mind coming closer, you can start putting your hand inside the cage. Hold a treat in your hand so the budgie associates your hand with good things. Only then can you start petting your budgie
Just thought I would mention this, you only need to provide your budgie with a nesting box if you want her to make babies, otherwise there's no need for a nesting box. You might know this already, but just in case you do not I thought I should let you know. I'm not trying to be bossy or mean or anything like that. If you're not ready for your bird to make babies you should not provide her with a nesting box, even if she's laying eggs. Nesting boxes will most likely make your bird go into brooding mode. Laying eggs is really tough on a bird's body, so doing all we can to avoid egg laying is the best course of action. Egg laying can be avoided by not providing a nesting box and giving your bird 12 hours of dark and 12 hours of light. If they have too much light their bodies think it's Spring time and hence time to mate. Anyways, I hope this was helpful.
I love how you gently point out the things to do with the really relaxing music. I also love hearing the birds happily chirping away in the background. Lovely video
Very calm video of budgies, just what I was looking for. My budgie of 12 years passed away a while ago and I can’t just straight up replace him, he was a special fella that I spent many hours on socializing with. Even if one tames a budgie early, learning and communicating with the bird in new ways never stop. :)
I had a budgie 4 years ago(I still have heaps now) She was mine though and she flew away and she was tamed. I’ve never tamed a budgie well since. I understand your pain, sorry for your loss.
Just remember they are so special that is why we only have them for a limited time of life. Im sure you gave them the best life you could, and they passed absolutley happy and loved which is all we could hope for. I hope you try again and home another fortunate soul that is lucky enough to have you for a parent, so they can see love.
You cannot just replace these little intelligent creatures with "another bird"; they become your friend and are unique, so its a grieving process before getting another one.
This is so fascinating to see.. I had a budgie as a kid, or rather my parent did and I remember seeing it shake in the corner of the room. I remember spending my entire summer, developing this exact method to make him comfortable with me. I was very young, but these memories are very strong. Summer vacation and its one of the best. Seeing it slowly gain trust, learning it's body language, watching him and considering his thoughts... Ending up with me and him chilling and cuddling together. What a journey.. I remember it influenced my parent to treat it more like a "Person", we got him a friend and they ended up mating so we got them a nesting box too. I remember my parent asking me if we should "Not get him a friend" because "He would become less tame" and all I thought was just how lonely it would be to be alone, and that less tame probably just meant he had another friend. I remember his mate died later and he got very lonely, but my grandma had another budgie who's mate died, so we put them together and these lonely boys bonded and started top mate to (Which also learned kid me that homosexuality and bisexuality was very natural before getting into the adult world of politics) Shocked I can still completely remember the steps. And now, seeing this video 20 years later is fucking wild xD What a trip down memory lane.
Yes, folks in those days often did not consider that animals had feelings. My dad used to complain that I was "too sensitive." We had a dairy farm with lots of cats. He didn't like it when I would be carrying them around but boy when he'd find the spot where a cat had hidden her babies he'd gently pick them up in his big, weathered hands and show them to us with a big grin on his face! Sixty years later I still have cats running my life!
You have no clue how helpful this is… I got a 2 budgies a few days ago, and it’s my first time owning them. They are really nice, but skittish, but are getting better. Thank you so much ❤
Ik me to man I got mine 4-5 days ago and they already go on my hand one comes out but like you said their really skittish I’m still learning how to get their trust and stuff but yea I’m getting there !
This is adorable! I had a blue budgie, his name was Crackers, he used to make beak-grinding sounds! At that time I kinda got scared on what that sound was, but to know now that he was happy with me in my blanket, almost makes me cry! Unfortunately he'd pass away.. I miss him very much 💛
My oldest budgie trusts, but he does not prefer to be touched. I respect his boundaries. He is amazing! He can friend any animal, and human. So brave, he's truly one of a kind. Took in a rescue, and he's trying to get that bird to trust me, as well as I. Rescued, he was never let out of a cage, old lady, not her fault but overgrown beak, poor diet. Tweety is now, healthy, thriving, and is flying again, but because his wings never developed properly, from being stuck in a cage, he still struggles. He's learning how to fly. I don't breed, I rescue. ❤️
They're all different little personalities; we've had 3 Budgies, the first one I just had to snap my finger or call his name and he came sitting on my finger, or on the shoulder or head, and he loved bathing and showering. He ate anything, he was like a goat; Boef Bourginion? Yoghurt? Eggs? Yes! The second one was a gentle soul, always wanting to cuddle up to your cheek and so tame. The one we have now is shy, a bit like mentally handicapped I believe. Only eats seeds and refuses to sit on my finger or anywhere on me, is very afraid. But he deserves his life and someone who cares, even if he's different. We have raised them the same way, they fly free indoors 90% of the day and have almost constant company. Its important to let them fly free outside the cage and have company most of their time. Its more important for them to have constant human companionship than being alone and maybe be forced to live with another Budgie thats not compatible. They see you as their companion, your family as their flock. When you are all assembled they are the most happy.
My so happy that u made the vid! My budgie also laid eggs! And 2 of them are hatched... They Are growing.. I hope I will able to tame them🥰 Edit : Thank y'all of the likes💝
this really helped me! we got 3 budgies this year (all 1 month apart) and I and my parents have been looking at videos on how to tame them, this video really helped out a lot!
There’s something special about ur videos. I’ve had my two budgies for a month now and I haven’t done well with keep up. This calm video makes me want to get closer with my budgies.
I bought a budgie bird, my bird is traumatized after the shop staff grab him like that😢, but I'm not giving up, i been searching this video for long time, thank you for the tips!❤
this is why i love your channel im currently taming my two budgies and it has been rough for the first week but i kinda just gave up after 2 weeks and also because of school i had to focus more but i decided maybe ill try again and they started eating from my hand i was so happy i could jump to the the moon lol, but taming takes time and patience and i have none of those but even after giving up i still had a bit of hope, also thank you for your tips i really appreciate it!
We love this video! It’s very informative! We are a new budgie family and this video is reassuring us that we are doing the right things. And all mum’s doubts and worries are easing up. Thanks so much for this video! We subscribed to your channel ❤️
Thanks so much for the information in this video. I've just adopted my neighbours two budgies as she has been diagnosed with a terminal illness and I so wish I could tame them. I'm sure with what I've got from this video and with patience I'll have some success. They're great little birds to have around a real joy.
Džermina I want to say you something. You are the one who inspired me, you are the one who brought interest of birds in me, you are the one who gave me the right information about birds, you are the one who made me buy bird, you are the one who i only watch, thank you so much. Now because of you i am like you, once again thank you very much
You are the best youtuber in the whole world for me. You are so kind, you taught me everything about my birds. 'Some' RU-vidrs, after they get several thousands or lakhs of sub's, they doesn't reply to the comments of their subscribers and doesn't clear their doubts. But you had always replied to my each and every comment. Please stay like you are right now every time. 'May God Bless You and Your Pets' Sister 🙂
I just adopted two budgies today! They’ll need time to adjust of course, and I will spend lots of time taming them and giving them attention. I was happy to hear my birds grinding their beaks today after I let them into their cage!
Everybody else makes you feel extremely bad during their intro and I feel that it was really harsh and it made me mad, you started off calmly and weren't harsh at all and it felt that you were walking me through thank you :)
Thank you SO much!!! We just got a budgie whos owners left her and she was very stressed about it and wouldn't trust us at any cost... And now I know how to help her, thank you💕💕💕
I simply just talk to my budgie and she just gives me this look as if she is interested or understands what I am saying 😂🤭 And then she just sits on my shoulder and stays there for hours -w-
I miss owning parakeets. Even though I never got the opportunity to tame one, but I'm glad that after watching this video that my parakeets were always happy being with me and my mom.
Thank you... this really helped me , my budgie doesn't really trust me and when I feed him his always scared... I did a lot of mistakes that I didn't know I couldn't do . This helped me a lot !
I have 4 budgies one loves escaping out of the cage his name is mango :> we call him secret agent mango (he is a albino budgie with red eyes :D ) . Then I have a blue and white bird named Heather she is very very self centered and she will not stop complaining until she gets attention sometimes she escapes with mango and the only way to get her back in her cage is to distract her by making her step up and calling her pretty beautiful etc all the way to the cage XD, Then I have a budgie named Lloyd who loves getting kisses and is very clingy he loves to play and is Heather’s mate they love each other a lot but do get into some fight like all budgies do, Then there is Bella....well she is kinda the reason why I’m here watching this vid 😬 well that and the fact that I love Denny the Budgie vids 😁 anyways Bella is very shy but she can tend to be kinda aggressive with other people but with me it’s kinda different she is starting to be more affectionate towards me but I’m kinda afraid that it only end up being towards me because I don’t really want her to be a one person birds because I need her to get along with the rest of the family but we r still going there through the process 😅 anyways yeah thx for spending time on reading this for no reason. 🥶😂
This is my first time having a. Budgie and I tought that the mistakes were normal things to do so when my dad did it I tought it was normal.We both learned our lesson and he is much better now
Even though I don't have budgies, this video somehow made me cry of joy. I used to have budgies when I was younger, but didn`t have any idea how to tame them back then. But after this video I realised that mistakes were made... :/
This is the best video ever My budgue always kept running whenever i came close But after 17 days after i watched this video Today it finally sat on my finger and even devoured the peice of banana i gave him straight from my hand ❤❤❤ Thank you so much 😊
Thank you for these tips😊 Hopefully my budgies will like me and trust soon :) Also whats recommended to make your house safe for budgies when you let them out?
I usually let mine in 2 rooms, I mean I open the door and they go from one to another. I close doors, windows but I also have wire over the windows plus curtains 😆 I put playgrounds and that's how they spend time together. They're out all the time, I don't even close the cage 🤣
I think it means there comfortable where they are right now and are trying to get ready or getting ready to sleep and is consent (i think like happy or full)
@@beomaya and btw i lost your comment in another vid but it normal that ur birds beak turn green when it eats spinach, my birds LOVE nvm ADORE rocca and when they eat it there beaks turn green soo dats ok
A lot of this also applies to cockatiels. I have an older female lutino I got from my neighbor just over a month ago. I've made a lot of mistakes. Now I know what to stop doing, what to keep doing, what not to do and what else to do. I'm going to keep insisting to my dad that if Nibbles wants to come out she will, and if she doesn't she won't. I won't force her. I will be quieter around her, including keeping the volume down on my tv and laptop. I will stop putting my hand so close to her when she's in her cage. I will continue to back off as I have been recently. I will continue to give her food and treats. Hopefully, I can regain her trust.
I found one today on the street after hard rain. Was able to catch the white little bird before a cat got to it. He bit me once, but after i took it out of the box i got from someone who watched me chase a bird down the street it was crawling up my arm and face. If no one comes foreward to claim the little bird, then i will call him ''Chad''. Nice video!
3:58 Ohhh my budgie always nods it's head like that and me be like: eXcUsE mE I JuST fEaD u aNd U r hungry* now I feel happy bc I thought my birds didn't like me bc they kinda lost my trust..tysm for making the this video!
My piece of advice is don't pick a bird based on its colors. Get one based on its personality. This new bird I purchased has made the bird I already have stop talking. He also doesn't want anything to do with me anymore.
This is such a cool video. Me and my family have recently just gotten a new budgie. He’s called Pipin and is about 11 weeks old atm and gaining his trust is obviously still ongoing. I think he’s bonded more with me then anyone else, mainly because I’m always here with him/her. He is getting so much better with our hands already he now actually walks on our hands and sometimes jumps on them. It’s so cute. He has his favourite places to fly to in every room, he also has a weird obsession with my phone 😂. If anyone has anymore tips to help even more it’s be much appreciated 😁 P.S we still don’t know 100% what the gender is, but I’m leaning more towards a he because his seer has a blue tinge around the top of it
I heard they like mirrors, so when the phone is off it has a reflection, but I've also heard it can cause hormonal situations whether it's true or not I'm not sure about,we recently got our 1st parakeet lol
I just do one mistake but I can't stop doing it, idk what to do. I have a dog, and I have to move the cage from my livingroom to my room so my budgie isn't in danger while I try to gain his trust.
I’m so sorry💔...try to take some peace in knowing you showed buttercup a loving & happy life while you could, and that she is flying somewhere very beautiful now...🌅 your spirits will always remain near to each other ♾
when i bought my bird it trusted all of my family. it would sit on our shoulders, fingers and stuff but then my sister started holding him in her hand and he didnt like it so we lost its trust. we kept telling her to not to but she didnt listen. i hope i can get his trust back
My rescue budgie is still so afraid, she only dared take a step to a closer branch to get to the millet I was holding today, and she flew into my room nearly a month ago. We're far away from perches and fingers, but hopefully we'll get there. Only doing what she's comfortable with.
Thank you so much for these tips. I have been watching so many videos and trying them every day but it s hard To make progress because my parents do agree with things like letting him out of the cage and putting him in my room where i am a lot. 💗🕊🐦
My birds are getting very used to standing on a stick but they aren't getting used to my hand, but luckily this video helped me. It teached me that I should keep my hand in the cage far at first and after q day after day we have to keep it closer, thank you for your help
Yesterday just as my five year old was about to head out for school, I heard a thump on our kitchen window. I expected to see nothing when I looked out, but there was a budgie sitting on the windowsill. I opened the window and he walked right into my house. My 8 yo has been asking for a bird for years. I went and bought a cage for this random bird who came to my house, and I'm hoping I didn't destroy his freedom, but wild budgies aren't common in my area. After several days of warmth, it suddenly dipped below freezing, and I didn't want to throw him back out into the cold. He's been a really sweet little guy, pretty sure he was someone's pet. And I'm stressing about making sure he's happy he came to our house. My girls named him Sky.
But I'm afraid she's having neumonia or other respitory disease...as she was found hiding under my dad's vehicle hiding from crows...we bought a cage for her and a cagemate. it's been a month but she barely trusts us and always try to find a way out of the cage🥺😔😔😔✌️✌️✌️❤️❤️❤️
If I let them out, they'll fly away and my area is full of budgerigar predators stray dogs, cats, crows, kites, falcons, etc. So, it's a super tough job for me to take care of them 🥺😔✌️
My budgie was trusting me for a good few months and easily . We got him at a pet store that had tame birds so he was easily tamed. Then one day my little 7 year old niece came over and played with the bird, held him and squeezed him and he was never the same after. I been working so hard to getting him to trust me again 😭😭😭
