We have had two beautiful budgies for around a month - both came at about age 6 weeks from a small breeder. We had read that by getting two budgies we were running the risk that they would bond to each other rather than us and be difficult to train.
This seems to be true and they are now going backwards rather than forwards in their training. We were able to get them out of their cage (though they'd mainly just sit on top of it) but now they are scared whenever we open the cage and are nearly impossible to catch.
They sit together nearly all the time and the female will nip us even if we are trying to get the male onto our finger.
Any tips!? We love them and would really like it if they would get used to flying out of the cage and sitting on our fingers.
