Posted September 4, 200816 yr I have been training Roxy since she fledged and she does step up so i have been working on teaching her to come when i call her name. I started a few week ago by putting her on the top of her cage and standing near her and tapping my arm and saying "come Roxy". I have been rewarding her with a neck scratch which she loves when she comes to me. Sometimes she comes and other times she sees the other budgies and goes to them instead. Tonight she was on the top of her cage and i was sitting on the floor about a metre and a half away from her and i called her and tapped my arm and she flew straight to me amd landed on my shoulder. i am so excited she has never came to me before when i have been that far from her.
September 4, 200816 yr Almost makes me wish I had a tame budgie inside But I know halfway through the flight to me it would end up as a cats dinner, so I wont go there. I am so happy Roxy is doing so well for you
September 5, 200816 yr Excellent progress Deb!!! She's certainly grown into a lovely pet after all the struggles you two had
September 5, 200816 yr Author Excellent progress Deb!!! She's certainly grown into a lovely pet after all the struggles you two had   All the joy and love i am getting from her now makes all those struggles in the beginning worthwhile. she is 3 1/2 months old now so i thinking it will not be long till she goes through her first moult and being a hen i am wondering how it will change her personality.
September 5, 200816 yr Author PLEASE..................PLEASE ..................... More photos   Here are some Roxy pics for you Kaz and anyone else who wants to see my cute very spoilt little girl.   She is only 3 1/2 months old and she has already got her iris rings which i thought was not supposed to happen till they were 5 months. she is also a messy eating and can never keep her face clean.  The fluff up look, just finished preening herself.   Playtime, she loves trying to bite the wheels on my son's little cars.  My daughter's glasses are another thing she loves.
September 5, 200816 yr Cute pictures Deb. Gucci and Dolce love my glasses too. They use the arms of them to climb up on my head
September 5, 200816 yr Well Done mate, she is coming along just perfect . Â I am sure there is nothing to worry about with her after she molts - I think that she is stuck to you like glue mate
September 5, 200816 yr I love all those pictures, Roxy is such an amazing color I absolutely love her. The last picture would be awesome to submit for Budgie of the Month
September 6, 200816 yr thanks for the pictures, they are great. you have such a cute budgie and daughter
