Hello! I am the owner of two budgies ( one male and one female ) I have been trying to earn their trust for close to three years now. I have tried a lot of different things that have been recommended to me and things I’ve seen online.
Most of those things worked and i had a pretty good relationship with my budgies. specificly my male. My female is a little more nervous. However, a little while ago there was a tornado. we weren’t hit or anything but I was panicking about the birds being upstairs. I wanted to bring them where we were to keep them safe. My birds know that I never take them out at night and when I tried to get them to step up they wouldn’t. The storm got worse and I had to grab them from their cage and move them to a small cage.
the tornado passed and my birds and I are fine, but they are right back to the beginning. They don’t trust me at all.
i do a lot of training with my budgies and they know to recall and Luau( male ) knows how to spin. Ive done recall all over my room and plenty of spinning. Now neither of them will step up or recal. I recently got a new cage and they have been way more active and full of energy. They are more willing to come out but still wont get close to my hand when I change the food and water. Both of my budgies came from a pet store and I have made plenty of mistakes being a first time budgie owner. But I’ve been able to gain their trust through it all anyway.
i don’t know if anyone can help but if you have anything that you think will help me please share. My budgies and bonded to each other and if I can get even one of them to do something the other one always follows. my budgies were abused at the pet store so I’ve gotten through this before. I don’t know if any of that matters but please help.
