Budgie Training: What comes next?
Hi ! I started to train them to go on my finger in the door with millet, and now they don't have to see the millet to know they are getting some, they just hop on my finger! I tried the stick training technique but they weren't motivated enough...they go crazy for millet! the one day I guess I pushed one of them just a little to far from their comfort zone because she was eating millet, and I was going to make her climb to the top of her cage to get it because she was facing my hand in the door by hanging up side down and she flew out (wings clipped but still startled me a little) and we had to get her back in, I gave her some millet apologizing for the miss hap, I tried ending it on a positive note that way, and today shes making greater progress... also, that one day, she got a little exercise.. :) I was wondering, what should I do next with out pushing the birds to far out of their comfort zone? I would like to get to the point to taking them out of the cage without them fluttering off, can you give me some advice?
