Hi, My name is Tina, I have 2 Budgies, one is a year old and the other I bought 4 weeks ago and is now abut 4 months old, their names are Tommy and Sky. Tommy, the older one, always seemed quite afraid and he was around 6 months when I got him, so he isn't hand tamed, but he comes in and out of his cage ok. Sky, was getting on quite well with hand taming, eating millet from my hand, until I had to take him to the vet the other day, I caught him in a light soft cloth because I thought this would be better than using my hand (didn't want to scare him), but since then, he hasn't wanted much to do with me but I figured his health was much more important than hand taming at that time. I guess really, I need to carry on with the hand taming. Tommy and Sky can see each other, but are not in the same cage, do you think I should move Tommy when I try hand taming sky? Feels like I have taken a huge leap backwards and feel quite down about it, but on a massive positive note, Little Sky is fit and healthy Sorry for the long introduction. Tina

Hi Tina. and welcome. How about you move your taming questions to the budgie taming section? Firstly read through some of the threads there. If you want to read through a thread dedicated to taming/training by a first-timer, read through Moogie's thread regarding her ordeal with Elfie. Starting from the very beginning to how the pair reached the position they are now. Budgies can take a lot of time and a lot of patience and a lot of persistance, depending on what you want from them. Set-backs are normal, so don't dispair, and read through some of the taming threads, and ask your questions. Ira's ordeal with Munchy in itself is a lesson in patience, so don't feel depressed but look on it all as a learning process.
