The Simplest Ways To Train A Budgie Bird

Firstly, I would like to say that the budgerigar parrot is relatively intelligent because it is a breed of small-sized parrots. As you know, almost all parrots are characterized by some kind of intelligence, depending on the type of parrot and its intelligence, as well as its size.

Budgies are among the parrots that learn to imitate movements more than they can master speech. Because the budgie, after many experiments and attempts, by many breeders around the world. It turns out that his ability to imitate speech is very limited, meaning that he cannot pronounce words clearly like other types of parrots.

Therefore, we will try to address this topic on ways to train him to fly, as well as some simple movements.

So what should he do first?

The first step you must take is to bring a budgie chick, and it is preferable that it be no more than 3 weeks old. To get used to you, and gradually lose fear of humans.

If the bird is still too young to eat, try feeding it by syringe, using a solution designed for chicks that can be made at home or bought ready-made from stores specializing in that. We recommend that you buy the best one, especially i. 21. It is good for young chicks, and is beneficial and easy to digest.

When the chicks grow a little older, that is, they are a month and a half old or more, start giving them the millet grains designated for budgies, by hand, and also feed the bird a few fruits and vegetables from your hand.

Try to spend as long as possible with the bird at home, petting it and scratching its head and chest with your fingers. This will further strengthen the relationship between you and make the bird trust you more.

One of the most important training methods

After you see that the bird has become attached to you, and no longer has any ounce of fear, here you will begin to train it in what you want in entertaining ways that the bird will feel.

Flight training.

If you would like your bird to learn to fly normally. You have to prepare this for me…how? Here are the steps.

Place your bird’s cage at the beginning of the room and go to the end of the room… Then start making a specific sound while opening your palm with food in it. Then the bird will fly from its cage to your hand… Note that this sound that you make during the time of feeding the bird, you do not have to change it, it should always remain the same sound, so that the bird gets used to that this sound means feeding time.

When he comes to you, gently scratch his head, then let him eat… and repeat the process daily until the bird gets used to it.

After you spend a lot of time training him to fly in the room, here comes the next step… which is to take him and his cage to a quiet place where there are no annoying humans or animals. The bird must also be almost hungry. You open the cage for it and walk away about 20 meters, then put the food in your hand as usual and make the sound you always do… You will notice that the bird flew towards you.

Note: Before you open the cage, make sure that the bird is not afraid. This is a very important factor. If he is afraid or stressed by the surroundings around him, he may fly away in panic and fear.

Over time and years, this will become normal for you and your bird. There are professional breeders who make budgies fly in the middle of cities full of people and cars. It flies for a long time and then returns to his shoulder. This level requires patience and experience.

Train him on some movements.

Quite simply, if you want your bird to master a certain movement, you must make it his daily routine, meaning it becomes an essential thing he does every day.

For example, when you give him food, you make him make the movement you want, and make him do it 3 to 4 times a day at meal times. You can also use some tools designated for this purpose.

You may not reach your goal with your first bird, but over time after you gain enough experience, you will become good at training birds. All you need is continuity, passion, and love for what you do
