I often recommend to members that making a point of catching hold of your budgies regularly saves a lot of stress to both you and the budgie if and when this is needed especially for administering medicines, clipping nails or simply for a once a week check-over. So instead of just talk, here is a video my son and I made to illustrate how stress-free the catching process can be:

That is superb! They almost step into your hand voluntarily.

That's amazing to see! And they don't even swear at you! How did you teach them that?

Great job Hezz!!! There are no surprises for these birds - they see the hand before it touches them, and know what's going to happen. I'm not so sure that I can replicate this in the larger aviaries though, and will keep using a net, unfortunately. I'm always afraid they will get hurt by the round hoop hitting them, but thankfully this has not happened yet.

This is brilliant! I also think a great tip is not holding the bird upside down as then it can see what's happening? I my experience when I have handled budgies this way it is often the case. What a sweet voice you have there too, Hezz
