      The opposite happened to my budgies .. I got a couple .. I trained them then the female died out of fatty liver .. I bought another female and she is very wild and loves to fly every where .. she taught the male to be wild and fly .. as soon as they wake up they fly all day untill 5 they enter the cage and sleep .. they even fly just over my head or around me while doing my work .. but never on my hand

    I had a clipped budgie, he was the best out of all my birds in flight training. I could put my hand on the ground across the room, he would see my hand and run to it, he descended super well and going up. He also loved to go upside down so I taught him to flip. Sadly he passed away about 3 months ago😞

      Do it! I made great progress with my 2 year old GCC. He will sometimes come now. His problem is he nopes out of the training quickly. He wants to be with us. So once he flies over if we just keep putting him back on the perch for food he gets frustrated. He will start crushing up the millet and throwing it just so we can pick him up. He doesn't fully get it yet.

    Love all your videos, so thank you. We have a gorgeous 8 year-old green-cheeked conure named Dali, toilet trained and speaks well. I've tried not wing clipping, but he hates it if we go outside without him, is joyful when we go out even to put the rubbish out! He's flown in a circle back to us when startled by a noise, once lifted by wind into a tree, but yelled, "here, here." when I called out hysterically, "Dali where are you?" I'd like to flight train him more, would like to know what is a healthier treat to give him other than sunflower seeds, apple and raw oats I'm presently using. Thanks, Toni.

    ok, so from the info in this, I'm thinking one of my rescues was definitely a wild bird in a former life. Has been stuck in a tiny cage for years, cage open all the time now, mostly stays inside it, but on occasion gets freaked out or otherwise flies & when he does he can hover & absolutely control height & braking.
    I was tending towards thinking born a wild bird already because of this, but hearing that if not trained in it they can't do it makes me absolutely convinced he must have had a wild life at some point. I wasn't sure how much was instinct & how much was learnt/practiced. Thanks :)

We have very high ceilings so he was just soaring through the air all over and we were senselessly trying to raise our hands up as if that would make a difference. We have two cats, they are quite used to our birds but, yeah... they're cats. Thankfully they did not seem to notice a tiny bird flitting around like the snitch in Harry Potter. Anyway, recall is great, we should get it sometime.

      @@katmarrs7054 Lilly wasn't too hard to train. I withhold sunflower seeds from her food, and only give them as special treats (bulk, raw, shelled). She goes nuts for them so it is easy to get her to step wherever I want by holding a seed just out of her reach. If I'm holding the seed for her, it takes 3 bites to finish. I also tap my finger next to the seed if I need to get her attention. Now the tapping is a nonverbal come hither. You can PM if you have questions. I'm no expert, but I have experience.

      Maybe six is too many? Perhaps somebody would like one to relieve you financially and physically. All the work involved is tiring.

      That scares me... it is dangerous to freefly small birds for MANY reasons. One, they could get lost and you will never find them, also they have really quiet contact calls. Two, they could get eaten by a larger bird. If another bird outside decides to attack it, lets say a hawk, it will not survive. That is why it is not recommended to freefly them.

      @@derind9191 a larger bird is a larger Target for a hawk to see and then catch. He is whistle trained so he can hear me from more than mile away. Also the Hawk that is territorial of my farm is primarily interested in the abundance of squirrels and if she runs out of those I have free-ranging chickens that are probably next on her list but she has never taken one. The budgerigar has 65,000,000 million years of experience to rely on when spotting and out maneuvering birds of prey and is also too small to make a meal out of...compared to rabbits squirrels pigeons doves Etc.

      You may well have great recall, and “think”that the predator risk is minimal(birds of prey aren’t the only predators btw. Mynahs, magpies or crows will kill small birds. Dogs, cats, rats snakes and large lizards, and depending on where you live most small mammals will also take small birds), however you can’t control the weather. A sudden wind gust can blow a little bird like a budgie way, WAY off course. It can also slam it into a wall or window and severely injure if not outright kill it. It’s your bird but I’m a motorcyclist too, and I don’t think these things equate to the scare stories about bikes at all, but the risk is yours. Thing is it’s all good, till it’s not.

    instead of my budgies being hand fobic there shoulder fobic so they just come to my hand naturally since there more comfortable on my hand or palm. my budgies are clipped at the moment because they where clipped when i got them but i found a tail feather and... a WING FEATHER today on the table where they had been preening so YAY they will hopefully be getting some non clipped flight feathers coming in sooner or later!!!

    Hi I’ve got a question I’ve had my budgie for 3 months now and she only flies on top of the cupboards and curtain rail (high places), I’ve taught her to step up and down on my hand using millet but only when she is around her cage, but when she leaves it she won’t come near the lower surfaces or me. I try using millet to lure but she backs away from it when she is high up. Any tips on getting her to come to me while she is free flying or to even get her to come lower down on the surfaces? Thank you for your videos so helpful.

    Can you create a video about the process of creating Yes and No spaces ? How do prevent them from going to specific places. My lovebird keeps wanting to go my closet and just keep removing and putting im back on his play gym but he is very determined. lol
