I find it heart-warming how some kids and teenagers are so committed to their pets. It makes me feel these next generations are already more responsible and knowledgeable than many of us were.
Compromised?
@@MrJdubz100 I'm sorry, the word I wanted was "committed", in my language compromised and committed are the same word 😂
Yes! I've argues with so many grown adults because they've "had 40 years of experience" with a bird in a tiny, round cage with an all seed diet never let out etc. And it makes me dad how many adults think they are entitled to argue with years of research AND experience just because they've had a bird :(
That perfectly describes my aunt and uncle. They haven’t the slightest clue how to properly care for a bird but think that they know it all and don’t listen to anybody elses advice. Their African Gray randomly started overpeening and I suggested that they take him to the vet. When they said no I begged them, and said that I would schedule the appointment, and pay for his visit. They stopped talking to me altogether after that.
@@alec2991 I hear you, but don't be discouraged! Some people wear their knowledge as part of their personality, so when you criticize the information, they feel personally attacked. It's not up to you to change their ways, they took decades to be on this level of stubbornness. Instead, focus your energy on people that would actually want to improve, but don't know how :)
Really cool/cute to see a bit of budgie and small bird training in these!
Also cool to see the budgie owner so committed to giving her little one the best life!
Its so sad how people treat them like throw away birds.
@@MrJdubz100 Agree totally, they are such awesome little parrots!
I miss training with my budgie so much! The chirping is such a happy sound. It actually brought a tear to my eyes, just to hear this sweet budgie. Good luck with your training and remember to keep having fun with her.
Did your bird die? If so I'm soo sorry for your loss
@@factsaboutislam3304 yes, my sweet guy died. I was away from home and he died when I was gone. I'll never know how he died. If it was a long term issue or an accident. He came from a pet store so it could have been breeder problems. I just can't do it again. The loss was very hard on me. I don't want to repeat a problem with another bird, if it was me. I watch these videos and live the best life watching other people's successes with their birds.
@@tamarapace3036 I am so sorry for your loss may God give you a blessed a nd happy life. And keep your bird safe where ever they are god knows best
And it wasn't your fault for the birds death . It just had to go sadly . May god bless you

And if I said any wrong words sorry english isn't my first language
Until I watched this video I was having no luck with flight training my budgie but then two days later she is doing it fantastically
I can’t get over how tiny a budgie looks in Dave’s hand. I get so used to relative sizes, and the bigger birds, and I forget just HOW little a budgie is.
Yay! A budgie video!
Great tips! I love seeing budgie training and such a cute little guy!
Love your channel ❤
Sending love from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺.
This was so helpful!!❤️
You two are so great! I love to learn from you. 😊
Budgies are so adorable! Goodness 🥰
Love your channel!!!
Thank you so much ❣️
This video was so helpful with tips for trying to work with my budgies.
💜Loooooovveee Budgies!!!!! 💜
Going to purchase the budgie training now! So happy to try this with my Bourkies. 💗
Love you guys you are great 👍
I feel better about my three noise machines now. They don't care to obey me either. Only had them two months now and finally getting a good response towards my hand. I still can't touch them yet but they don't fly out of the cage in terror anymore when I put my hand in. I am thinking I should be able to hand train soon.
I'm at the very same point with my Budgie (rescued 2 months ago). He's still scared but we're working on it. He's very flighty and doesn't return very well at all. He's very sweet and I know we'll get there once he adjusts to an entirely new life with me. I have no idea how old he is or what his background is. He knows a few tricks already (from his previous life). I can't wait to see what else he knows how to do! He still won't play with any toys yet or eat "anything" healthy, which I offer daily. I've tried to find his owner(s) but no one has been looking for him, which is sad. I've finally declared that he's officially mine, after 8 week of looking for his family. He's no longer a "foster" bird! I call him Houdini because he's quite an escape artist, sigh. Good luck with your baby!!
That budgie is a twin of my Brianne. Gorgeous blue and white.
Finally this video is here 😃
I have tamed and flight trained budgies without clickers or bribes. Some people don't know just how smart these little birds are.
awww, she looks so similar to my budgie Indi!😍
I was hoping to see footage of you guys holding snakes!
You might have not watched long enough... ;)
There is footage of them holding snakes. At the end of the video.
Thank you I want to advance my parrotlet training
This is a GOOD video to watch. You give a lot of info on training and flights here.🕊 This is definitely one for the birds!
I love the vivarium set up behind the young lady. Also, the young lady reminds me of Elle and the Birds.
Great video, thanks 👍
Great video, thanks 👍
OMG finally !! yayy
omg your holding cute snakes!!!
I'm looking forward to training my new budgie once she actually steps up. She's stubborn and will literally lay her body horizontally across my offered finger, whole body weight, to get to her millet instead of just stepping.lol.
🤣
I'd start with them on a flat surface and clicking for stepping up onto the back of your hand, reset them off with a lure, then keep slowly turning your hand until your finger is on the top for a step up.
Also, make sure your finger is not level with the stand but about 1/2 an inch above the stand touching their chest
NuGo organic protein bars are my jam too on the go. I totally get you!
Whats that stick for?
Great video. We have been having difficulty with flight training with our 8 month old Parakeet. Is a clicker absolute necessary?
are budgies a good starter bird? and are they affectionate?
Do you have a book (or several) that I can study?
Not sure if you take video requests but I'd love to hear more about how i can increase motivation. My little budgie is making great progress but she isn't always interested in working for her treat.
I know Jamie would say make sure she’s on the correct diet and getting enough sleep first
Birdtricks does consultations, you can email them, or they listen a lot to their Patrons.
Oh my gosh! Do you ever come to Boise, Idaho? I would go to as many of your budgie training classes as I possibly could IN A HEARTBEAT! Also definitely want to be on an email list, so I can know of anything and everything that you have and do!!!
you are at snake discovery
Since watching your video with Cheyenne I have been binging your channel and totally forgot you were at the zoo 😂
do you need clicker to train?
how do i even start the training as i have 8 budgies in an outdoor aviary
I live in Idaho and i was wondering if you guys know any good parrot stores here
I have two budgies that are fully flighted but I'm having some trouble with training them because we got them both at the same time and they kind of distract each other and they fly around the room, they are very good about getting picked up and target training in their cage, but once they fly around the room it's like they don't remember anything I've taught them. Most of the time when they fly around they will step up to go back to their cage but I just don't know how to progress their training. Is there anything you think I should try doing?
I know you probably won't see this but this just happened I commented a while back about having been given a cockatiel a while back and I had no real experience with a bird bigger than a budgie and after having had those bite me as a kid and teen several times I had somewhat lost trust I'm parrots and was honestly at a loss for what to do so I scheduled a vet appointment to check her up and got to work on doing research on how to make her life the best it can be, I followed pretty much to a T all the advice you have on your channel, immediately set out to work on a diet change cause she was around 6 months and only eating seeds, got a chopstick and a clicker and for just over a month now got to work. Yuki was not hand fed as a baby and had no previous real human interactions so I've spent this first month making sure I never overstepped her boundaries and that all our interactions were mainly positive, began educating my parents too on how to interact with her so she bonded positively with more people and educated myself on how to help her safely fly around in bird proof areas of my house (she's fully flighted and I intend on keeping her that way) and helped her get confidence to step out of her cage on her own and explore (she does this on her own now and even asks me to let her out at times) today for the first time ever she was playing with my glasses and afterwards bowed her head and let me rub her little head, it was such an emotional experience cause just 3 months ago I lost my beloved guinea pig to cancer and had been struggling on how to process this loss but working with her not only brought me healing but a new friend now hopefully for the next decades of my life and it's honestly all thanks to your wonderful advice on this channel giving me hope that if I stuck with I'd see results and I honestly did. Much love all the way from Portugal! ♡
I have three budgies that I got from my father in law, all fully flighted but not tame. I can get the female to eat off my hand and the blue male to land near me but target training is only going good with the female lol no one else wants to come near the stick tho. And the green male is a stubborn little thing lol he doesn't want to get along with anyone
I have found that some birds like praise more than a seed or other food for their treat. My budgie loves her millet and responded very well to it. When I got my Pineapple Conure, he didn't or any other food. He isn't food motivated. He is praise and love motivated. It took me a minute to figure it out. I did the finding favorites treat thing as Dave and Jamie tell you to do and while I found his fav that still wasn't what he wanted. And, I say he because I've never had him tested but, he seems more like a male. My budgie is an obvious female. Her Cere settled right at a year and she went through her first hormonal stage it got all crusty and dark. Lol. Too bad conures aren't sexually dimorphic.
It is so difficult for me to stop my Cockatiel from taking more than one bite of millet from the spray at a time! Any tips?
Do you have to clip the wings to do flight training?
No, there is no need for wing clipping.
I trained one of my budgies to fly to me... but then he figured out he'd get a treat for flying to me so he'd fly to me, get his treat, immediately fly away and then back and expect another treat (and away and back, away and back, away and back if I didn't give him a treat because he came when I didn't cue him).
This was confusing to me. Do you want to do some easy tricks in between if no longer responding or not? Or Does this reinforce the not doing it?
That outro haha, is it safe to say that Jamie has a fear of snakes?
I don't know what you're talking about? 🤷♀️😂
Could you make more videos for cockatiels? I have two ,a male & female. They are not bonded.
The female is afraid of my hand. She was an untamed, rescue.
I have CFS & sleep a lot plus I also have a tremor which frightens her. I just want her to step up . She likes being on me. At present I have no choice but to grab her. Neither of us like that.😢
Why do you click after some behaviors, and not others?
I’m trying to train my budgie to fly to my hand. I can get mine to step on to my hand and eat the millet just fine! How ever, when I pull it away to get her to jump, she doesn’t do it 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢. I’ve had her since mid December. Any suggestions
Oh! I remember her training with her budgie! It helped me so much on recall training with my R2-D2! Love these budgie sessions! And I use advice from big parrot training sessions as well! 🪶🥰🪶
I need help, I just got a bird a few weeks ago and she absolutely hates me, I’m a first time bird owner and every exercise I try to earn trust doesn’t work. Is there any tips someone has and a step by step walk through on how to train one to fly to me or just how to train one
Did anyone notice that they’re at the snake discovery?
omg wait in the backround it says snake dicovery?!!!! omg
What if your budgie is scared of millet
You can desensitize them to the millet just as you would new toys.
@BirdTricks. Hi you 2. Are you familiar with Chattering Lorikeets by any chance? Have you worked with any at all?
Are you familiar with Gumi the chattering lorikeet? He of "Wuewuewue..." fame. Funniest little fellow on CZcams.
It's became habit but she did great
I'm trying to train to come to my hand But it doesn't sometime it comes if I show him the Seeds But if hes in a different room where the cage is not put And he immediately comes to my hand Especially on my shoulder And if I call him he comes to my hand but he doesn't come to my hand where the room with the cage in the living room. were the cages is I think probably he thinks this is the safe area But he does fly around all over the The kitchen the bedroom the bathroom the living room And he does spend time in those rooms as well But the only time when I call him he comes to my hand it's when hes not in the living room.
keets are such stubborn little bastards... LOL
I'm embarrassed that it took me 14 minutes to notice the snake discovery logo
I've been thinking that I want to add a Parrot to my life, but I have a question, do they poop all over the house or do they use a poop area like a cat?
All over 😅
I lost my budgie yesterday and it looks just like this one :(

My favorite part of the chubbier birds is the way they sorta waddle off the perch. Kills me every time. 🥹
