Just to say hi

[mylittleangel]

Hi I made a login yesterday and this is my first forum I am apart of and I am new to being an owner of budgies.
My cobalt blue cock bird named bailey was mine from a pet shop from September 6 this year and since then he is settled down and I have begun taming him... He is fine with my hand in the cage but I am trying it with food in my hand desperate to hand taming for many fun times out the cage with me..
I unfortunately need to get out the habit of long posts , filling them with extra unnecessary content making it a drag to read.
Sorry other members! I will probably be asking for tips but when tame hopefully talk about that. 
I look forward to the interesting threads people make, the tips given not just to me but others. Hopefully I will get to experience full on what you have achieved with your budgies once mine is tamed too.

Hi welcome to the forum.
Keep up with the training it'll all come good with time and patience, and when it does, the rewards are fantastic.
We have another little Bailey on the forum, he's a bit of a character 😁
Look forward to seeing some pictures of your little guy.
Please ask away with any questions you may have, we will all be happy to help.

Due to him not exiting the cage yet this is the best picture I have and nice to meet you!

He's a beauty 😚 I would get him some natural wood perches though, the plastic ones that come with the cage are not very good for their feet 😉

Hi and welcome to you and young Bailey. Just a tip for when you do have him out for the first time, do so in a small room, so you are not having to chase him all around the house when it is time for him to go back in. Those first few times out they are often reluctant to go back in once they get that taste of freedom.

When he is tame I am getting him a better bigger cage , I will look for fun perches then at the moment there is no room and changing while he can't get out the cage will scare him

[mylittleangel]

When taming I will put him in my room, he knows this area and my room is small originally bring a study room. With no dangerous objects, a nice curtain to cover a window, two lights the main one and the display cabinet next to the cage. I will Need to keep the cage door open with a clip or something and leave food in the cage he will eventually go back in the cage when hungry. Also the display cabnet is one of those tall thin ones so he will probably like hanging out on that as it is the tallest thing in the room but I can still reach it and he knows that as I take his cage cover from there which i will remove when he is let out just in case he is tangled in it. I can't wait until he is out!!!!!

A big welcome to you and Bailey, may you have many happy times together.

Taming takes patience, but the rewards are great!
