I gave away a young male budgie to a very shy and fearful kid in my building. His mom is the "don't do it, you'll get hurt" overprotective type. The boy was 10yo and afraid of cats and bunnies. The boy named the budgie Caesar. They're best friends now. Caesar is more tamed and trusting than any of the budgies I've had. He learned to play with human toys, do tricks like rolling over or play mini basketball, and is spending more time sitting on the boy's shoulder and head than anywhere else.

If you're really patient and observing, you can actually see their thought process. I can tell when he's anxious or when he's gonna take off. So as I'm training, i pay close attention not to cross the threshold where he'll fly away. I test his boundaries and it seems like he tests mine. Love it when he chirps, gives me reason to whistle again. I've had my budgie for a week now. I wanna brag more but im just missing him while im at work.

i had to grab my parakeet a few days ago to take him to the vet, the guilt was awful. you can instantly tell when you've broken a birds trust :( thankfully, they're very forgiving. we absolutely do not deserve such sweet babies

When I go near my new budgies, they always fly away in their cage, so this helped me tame them a lot! Thanks!

The advice on this channel is so good!

Im trying to get a bird, and I've been doing research. When I found this channel, I sorta binged watched it. I have learned so much! Thank you!❤

I did have a mirror in the cage, also changed toys often. Both birds were let out everyday. Until the manager of the building said I couldn't let them out but told her where she could go.

I had my parakeet when she was very young & waited for about a year to be sure she wouldn't lose trust in me. Now she's practically tamed lol She steps up on my hand & on a chopstick--or as i call it-- the step-up stick. I only use the step-up stick whenever she is in a hard to reach place.

My parents suddenly planned to get budgies and, so we ended up with four, one for each of us in the family. But since I have the most time at home, I have to take care of them by myself. That is why this video is a lifesaver and your entire channel, thank you Salvador Budgie!

Thank you 🎉my budgie Becomed my best friend

This is a delicate, tried-and-true process. I was not aware. I have to get a second cage as soon as possible to begin training. I hope eventually that they will share a large cage, after they are comfortable enough with me separately. These babies are far more delicate than I had imagined. Wish them luck, I'll do all I can learn from these videos. And thanks for them.

I feel terrible. I adopted a rescue parakeet that is so frightened I can hardly do anything with her. I've had parakeets in the past but I've never had one this frightened of everything!!! I've always been able to gentle them and train them.I've never even seen this bird preen herself!! She sits in the same spot in the cage all day long!! I've never failed a bird before! 💔

I swear I have so much knowledge from you, thank you for sharing and for being available for us in the first place. This is such a privilege to watch those Videos for free.

The best way to do this and its worked 100% for me always for 12 years now. Get them as babys about 2 months old not more (if you bought them at a store or breeder) everyday for 2-3 hours at seperate times put honey on your finger and put your hand in the middle of the cage. Do that for days to a month and it will work. I had 5 of them out of the 50+ that i would let fly outside and they always came back. This works for me and still does.

I have a budgie that I adopted who is 10 yrs old. He is very attached to his mirror and I would never take it away from him. He is a nice bird so I wouldn't want to upset him. I will keep it in mind for future birds.

Early gaaang You should call this video "no way your bird is untamed after watching this 40 minutes video" 😳 lol

This was so helpful i got budgies recently and had no idea how to take care of them. Thank you for the advice!

Hello bird nuggets I am getting a bird and you have helped me so much before I found your channel I didn’t know a thing about what I was doing know I can talk about birds for hours you have helped me learn so much.I really want to thank you and I will countine watching your videos when I do get a bird 🐦. I really want a budgie.thanks again!

What a fantastic video! So thorough and informative. Thank you!!!

As a newbie bird owner this is very helpful.

Thanks so much I’ve been binging your videos because I’m going to get two budgies

Visions cages are BRILLIANT!!!

You sound like Kermit 😅

We had two budgies and a canary in the same cage. All found outside in our garden when I was a kid. The first budgie we caugh I called Jimmy I though she was a boy so I named her Jimmy. Jimmy used to scream at me and peck me hard. She lived on her own with our family and I used to clean her cage and feed her every day. I knew nothing about budgies I baught everything for her and let her peck my face hard and she eventually changed her bight to a kiss. Her toung would come out and lick my face. She started loving me to bits and come out her cage to fly over to me no matter where I sat in our living room. And when ever I come home she would tell me to open the cage and talk to her. It's a long story but she once flew away as my dad forgot the cage was open and he opened a window wide. My dad's friend said you won't get her back now she is free. I said leave her cage and open the window wider. She was far away on top of a roof so I called her and shook a box of seeds. Then I seen her flicker far away then fly back to me. She went in our window and cage. My dad and his friend was amazed and said I've never seen anything like it in my life. I just said she loves me and I look after her. I was pleased to see her come back.

Thanks so Much! 1 week in and I'm so thankful!!!

This guy makes some of the most entertaining videos I know

I’m about to be filled with knowledge by the end of this vid ( I watch all you videos they are great.)

thank you for offering so much detailed information. you're really making a difference in quality of life for so many of these birds

Tysm for posting this! I’m a recent subscriber and I have 2 budgies. After watching this I know my budgies will have a bigger bond with me!

Not sure about throwing away foods after a few hours because all the nutrients are gone...especially fairly dry ones like carrots. I have worked in zoos and although I was the reptile guy, I have never seen them worry about that and we definitely didn't change out food in between feedings for the omnivore herps. Excellent information overall, thanks!

These birds are so sweet

Sir...This is the very best budgie feeding/ taming video I have ever sen. Great Job!

i love this channel , the advice is accurate and brilliant!! i am struggling to tame my bird and this will defo help

Think is exactly what I do. Bird trust is key! You have to remember they are small and we can humans can be scary. Best training and building trust with your bird I've ever seen! I always use a playground and millet. Its all about bird trust.

What a cute budgie!!!

Excellent advice !!!!🙂🇬🇧

My cockatiel Luna flew out my door last month. I used to “discipline” her by blowing raspberries on her tummy and then gently placing her down on a perch. She never hated me, but she got the message haha. I miss her terribly but I know she’s flying free somewhere hopefully happily.

Thanks bro i just got 2 budgies recently and I needed to know this so now I tame them 1 at a time

Beautiful birds🎉

I love Your channel❤ this really helped me tame my terrified birds! Thank you! 1:16

Thank you, sir

This was a great guide thank you! However it was more of a tease the last week until im getting a budgie 😅

Love this video💖

I have a question What if you bring two budgies home together? Then how can you tame it if you only have one cage Please answeer if you can

it's interesting how one of Minecraft's random descriptions or add-ons you see on the menu is "Don't feed birds avocado!" as I didn't know that was actually the truth xD

I love budgies❤

My budgie is 13 weeks old and is beginning to be tame. I got him at 10 weeks old. He likes to come out of the cage but just sits on the curtains. He has a playground but just sits on the perch. He doesnt bother with toys at all and not interested in fruit or veg. I love him to bits but wish he would interact more. I talk and sing to him a lot

I love buddies

Thank you! I enjoyed watching! I have 2 questions.. What is the name of regular grains you give? And another question.. I mentioned that one blue bird blink much more often that others.. And then i saw a shaved tummy of this bird,, I also have one bird who blinks often and doctors and I can not find a reason. Do you know why it happens in your case? A shaved tummy was the reason of it? Hope to receive your answer!

my bird is a a crazy bird and naturally friendly

this vid already has 100k! ❤

You are amazing you help me make my bird love me.

My birds personality is the crazy and friendly bird😂

This was such a fun video! I have a budgie pair and they are VERY hot for one another. They have not been tamed. I’m wondering if I should even try to let them breed.

My 2 all I haft to do is open the cage in the morning to let them out and play all day and keep it open every evening between 6:30 and 7 o clock they go back into the cage on their own and wont come out again into the next morning. Still having a hard time training them I can get one to sit on my finger for a few seconds then jumps right off the other one cant get her to do anything.

i love your channel💘💘💝❤💟💕😍😘♥

These videos are honestly helping more than I thought they would. I thought they would be untrustworthy but they acually help with my birds a lot so 👍👍

Very helpful

I got so much info from this video

Hi salvadar budgie i like your videos

one of my budgies are a mix of the crazy bird the quiet bird and the angry bird because half the day it going crazy on toys and also the other half of the day its basically a statue and it never lets the other bird eat the other bird is a skittish bird

A great video ☺️

I had a budgie. I've had her for about a month and a half now, I've tried all of your taming methods, and nothing has worked. When I try the fingers on the perch method, she immediately flys out of her cage. While it may take a while, she'll go back into her cage on her own. She's not food motivated.

What a brilliant video, my friend owns a wonderful pet shop, he sells fish, reptiles and has an aviary and several cages of different types of birds , he often takes in birds whilst their owners are on holiday, so the other day, I noticed a budgie in a cage on its own near to the Aviary and at first I presumed it was a holiday bird as he wasn’t in the aviary, when I walked away, he followed my movements in his cage, moving to what ever side I was, so I went back to him, and it was then I noticed the card, saying hand reared 9 month old budgie, and that he was for sale, I had brought a big cage a few months earlier as I my Dad had an aviary and we always had a budgie in the house, after giving it some thought, I decided to buy him, I asked if I could leave him there and pick him up at the weekend, so I could make sure I got everything ready, when I got home and looked at the cage, I realised it was extremely big and way too big to have in my main sitting space, but a great cage for him in the future, as I am moving to a much bigger house in the future, my friend had been offering him with the cage, I called and asked if I could still buy the cage he was in, my friend actually gave me the cage at a much reduced price and it’s a beautiful cage , and I felt it was nice for him to stay in familiar surroundings to begin with, I got him last Sunday and my intention was eventually to try and teach him to speak, he seemed to settle very quickly and was chatting to himself in the mirror and when I went up to the cage, he would come straight to where I was and I would speak to him, what I can’t believe is in one week he is saying “pretty boy” clever boy, “hello, I then decided to add in his name yesterday, and today he is saying “ pretty boy Skye”, the people in the shop hadn’t taught him to talk, and I named him Skye, is it normal for a budgie to learn to speak that fast?

My birds hate me even after 3 yrs i got them they hate me"accept the baby they just had"so ima see if this works

Tank you！

I have a pet budgie so I am watching this video right now

Thanks for great tips!!

This helped me with my new girl Pearl

Thank you so much!! Although my budgies can step up on my finger, there is 1 problem. When I get them to step up on my finger one day, the next day they just fear me. I encourage them to step up on my finger with millet everyday to gain its trust but then the next day I just lose their trust again. 😅 So I would like to know how to tame them without losing trust like halfway through. But keep up the good work!! ✨✨

Your the best l love birds but indont have one I am gonna get one and I know your channel will help me tame my bird

I would like to build a large cage in my bedroom and host maybe a dozen budgies. Should I have a separate isolation cage for the one I am training and introduce them to the flock one at as time? I have read that buying birds that were raised together is the best idea so how do I purchase a group and then train them?

are watermelon seeds or watermelon good for them?

Cute

I have a lutino lovebird. Is the process same or is it easier to tame budgies?

Thank you a lot! This really helped me as I am getting a budgie. Watched all your videos, also what name should I name it? Just reply it. (My budgie will be a boy)

Thank u

Hii! For the toys, what do you recommend? Many toys have string and bells… I don’t know what to choose. Please answer as fast as you can.

Also I’m not sure if showing a mirror to your bird is the best. They act like they are ‘magnetised’ to it because they think it’s another budgie, and they are like In love with their reflection as they think it’s their lover.

Bros Kermit 💀

It makes me IMMENSELY HEARTBROKE to think that there are people out in the world that hit their Budgies. It makes me sick to think that they would abuse ANY ANIMAL be it physically, emotionally, etc.... Only people who have evil hearts would do such a thing because it is common sense to know that hitting something will NOT teach it to do better! It will only teach it that you are an enemy. They will then either turn violent towards you or be extremely scared of you! Doesn't it make sense that those things would happen? I'm just mind blown at someone who would actually hit a friggin BIRD! Like, WHAT?!!! OBVIOULSY i feel that way towards any animal....you just look at birds....they barely have anything to them! Like...how would one hit them? (could literally cry at the thought) You know?! Anyway! I would like to thank you for making this channel and the videos. They have been very helpful for me! :)

I was pretty relived that I found out I was getting info from someone that knows all about birds and that has a parakeet or two

I have 2 budgies but about 6 months old.. how much time will it take to tame them? And I only have one cage.. then how am I supposed to tame one in cage at a time?

Awwww

I've been trying to train my budgie for over 2 months now, but haven't been successful. I've done everything you said but it doesn't seem to work out. What can I do? Btw thanks Kermit :)

Hey pls answer this I have two birds and I wanna teach them to trust me but you said doing tame 2 is there a way I can tame both or no?

Tyyyy
