Hi,

 

Im wanting to train my little Chirper (i want to start with her and then progress with Dale and Abbie), but I dont know how to start off. I dont like putting my hand in the cage when they flap. I can put my hand in and change the seed and water etc, but to go any where near them they start flapping and thats the part that i dont like. I dont know why Im like it, but it just freaks me out.

 

Whats the best way to start taming them?

Check out this link: Taming your budgie. It's from our FAQ's. It should get you started and give you some tips... Good luck

Welcome, read through the taming article it gives a lot of tips and advice plus there was excellent posts on here one done by birdluv on how she tamed her 2 older birds and it was a success. The biggest thing you have to remember is don't push them it will frighten your bird and patience is the KEY.
