I spoke too soon I was repeating Georgie Porgie Pudding and Pie Kiss the Girls and got a bit close and he bit - ouch I stopped talking and moved him off my finger in the hope he gets the message - all lessons are cancelled if he bites!! they are intelligent but not too much so I can but hope π€£ he absolutely loves listening to me and thinks my mobile phone is his he lands on it immediately I pick it up and much the same for my laptop hehehe he's addicted to gadgets!! He seems to pick up one words very easy and considering I only noticed him talking over the last few days he's remembering quite a lot but also getting it in a bit of a muddle.... Like you say Ladybird they certainly do get into your heart even with all the nipping lol Here he is eating my asparagus fern π€£

Most budgies, even the tamest are not fond of being touched themselves. Occasionally you may be allowed to rub head and cheek feathers if the pinnies are itching, but most budgies prefer to be the ones doing the touching. That is just the way they are. Of course there are exceptions, but they are not the norm.

When he bites say a firm no and yes stop any happy interaction and put him down or away. Hopefully he will soon get the message that biting is not acceptable. Heβs gorgeous.

Jasper wants to learn more and more he practically gets into my mouth earnestly listening while I come out with my things to reach him!! He perches a lot on my glasses he then steps onto my hand and this morning he was so close he let me rub his head with my nose while he was listening. I couldn't have even imagine this state of affairs a few weeks back so being patient and going slow sure is the way to get them to trust you. Thanks everyone for so warmly welcoming me to the forum and if I can help anyone else I sure will try. π
