You have received good advice, it is always best to let your bird settle for a week before you even try with the hand, now that you have you may have a little extra work to do. The best thing you can do is take your time and be patience all birds are different. If they come from a pet shop or breeder that doesn't handle their birds you may find it tougher but it happens. As suggested the FAQ article Taming Your Budgie is excellent, I wrote it up and it goes over how I tamed Pretty who was a pet shop budgie and introduced Merlin.

Congrats Kaz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

good luck

It is cute, Merlin does it to my fingers but he doesn't regurgitate.

tapping my foot

3 months ago I believe When is the last time you gave your aviary or cage a through cleaning?

there you go

how exciting double yolks ...

Here is hoping for good results!

Yes they are so different, Pretty was very different then Merlin. Merlin still remains calm and much more cuddler, while Pretty was just so ornery...memories I will always remember. I miss that boy but because of what did happen I would have never gotten so close to Merlin that is why I have chosen not to get another budgie I see how having 1 to 2 to 1 again does change the relationship especially when you are looking for a intimate pet relationship with your pet.

-1 or 100 hehe

Merlin is not allowed to nibbile on my ear it tickled at first and now he unexpecting decides to take a chop so I keep pushing him away. Casper reminds me of Merlin - he was so sweet I bet you miss him.

So you have to do 0 now right don't we restart again or should we do negative intergers like -1 -

I got it in before you Rose

that is cool thanks Liv, I have never had anyone ask that question or heard of it so I was wondering.

I agree with Neville, has she seen an avian vet?

Have you ever heard a budgie coo? I though it was a low maybe dolphin voice but it is like a dove cooing, Merlin will do that on my shoulder when he talks and even when I am talking to him when he is in his cage, I don't make that sound so I know he isn't mimicking me.

did you submit that for budgie of the month, way too cute
