I'm so happy that you're getting the kind of relationship with Buddy that you wanted It'll be interesting to see how his feathers change after the moult. Chipper is the only budgie I have ever had since they were a baby as he was 6 weeks old when I took him in. He's still pretty fearless even though he's over a year old.

I rarely get perched on. If I hold out my hand then Max will stand on it briefly. That is as close as anyone gets! He does come to my table to bash the swingy ball. Its such a good feeling to have a bird come perch on you. I feel like a Disney princess! Me too!

Buddy has become quite friendly. He will fly over to me and perch on my head or shoulder. He really wants me to hold up my arm so he can run down it and bash or chew on my thumbnail. If I'm knitting, he'll perch on my chair's arm rest. If I don't give him my hand, he'll start yelling at me! He's really got me trained.

Ah so lovely to know he's settling with you Bo was very quiet up until recently but he seems to be singing lots more now. They all just need their own time don't they

They do and he has become really tame now. He likes to be be out for most of the day and his latest trick today is he flies onto the back of chair and then jumps on my head and then runs down my face . He is very gentle and no biting ( fingers crossed) He is moulting a little bit now too.…….

One thing I do need to correct and am asking because I have never had a budgie that bites this young and he does….. Charlie did when I was giving him meds, but that can be excused….and other passed budgies have never done it that I can remember. But Herbie is only seven weeks old and he does mean it when he bites……..any suggestions? I definitely don’t want him to be a biter but at this age I need to be careful with the No command…….Acckkkk doesn’t bother him……… He is becoming more confident every day and fitting in beautiful….it’s just the biting 🤷♀️ Our female budgie was also biting us in the nose and lips at first when we got her, then i kept telling her that she needs to be a cute bird. So each time i had her on my finger i looked at her and said "You are a sweet budgie" and it sounds crazy but one day it was like she looked strange on me and sort of understod what i was telling her an dnow she dosent bite anymore and i can kiss her belly and head with out bites.
