There is a very good article in the FAQ called Taming Your Budgie along with doing a search of the forum and you will find some great ideas and ways members have tamed their budgies. Remember our hands are as big as them so it is very scary if they don't have any positive experiences with them. Link to comment

If it is the budgies have never seen it before so give it time and once they slowly have some they will love it. Link to comment
