The best is thing to do is for your budgie to understand you aren't threatening
What i got told was that for up to 4 times during the day, i should put my hand in the cage for 10-20 Min's at a time,
they will see that you are not going to do anything to them
hopefully after awhile they will start to want to be on your hand..........which you leave in the cage
After a few weeks of this you can slowly move the bird out of the cage
When doing this maybe put a cloth on your hand so that if they go to bite you, it wont hurt as much..
It is how i trained my budgie
I also found that my budgie dosent like me touching him after a certain time in the day (from 6pm) he is trying to settle down for sleep

I actually have were given 2 male budgies, toby and whitey! I. They get fed trills or probable budgie food from PetsAtHomes. you would possibly want to word your budgies preem eachother, this shows that they are basicly acquaintances. Taming! My older budgie (Toby) Is tamed. in case you want to tame your budgie that is what i suggestion: you would possibly want to placed ur hand on the cage the position your budgie can see it. coach that you aren't any further going to damage it and communicate soothingly. Dont make loud noises, flow without caution or bang on the cage. attempt this about 1or 2 cases an afternoon. After a lengthy time period do an same yet consisting of your hand contained in the cage and get close and in direction of him/her and ultimately they receives on your finger. it is going to also help in case you enable them fly round because budgies want exercising somtimes i enable my budgies out all day because they are able to bypass abode so i am going to go away them out and at the same time as they want to bypass abode they could bypass each and every time.! also for his or her perches you should really get somthing with isnt instantly as they receives a cramp. i'm hoping i helped :)

Budgies are very social birds. The reason they tame is they want the company. By having both birds in the same cage they don't need you. Yes, other people may have two birds in the same cage but, I will almost bet both birds weren't bought at the same time and one was trained before the other arrived. Put them in two separate cages in two different rooms. Join them together after training.

Well....You have to tame them in another way...Try to put some seed between your fingers and feed them behind the cage bars and see if they notice it.....Also make sure that they are in a place where there is people talking or something (i.e in a living room) but make sure its not too noisy and never shout at them because they don't like loud voices.....Usually, it depends on the parakeet itself.....I tame my parakeets from the third day....however keep trying and good luck

Easy. DO NOT keep them in the same cage.
Birds flock, they will bite at humans, hiss at them, if kept together. When your big hand comes in they want to attack. Also, no mirrors in the cage.
I have even tried a test on this. We have a very tame, sweet cockatiel we have had for ages. But he loves to look at the bird in the mirror! So we put his cage in front of the mirror for ONE DAY and he started to fuss and nip at us when we tried to take him out of the cage!
Keep them apart or just keep them as non tame pets.

the first thing is, yur taming them the wrong way. To get them hand tamed just follow these steps. First, get a twig and put it in front of the birds so they can climb onto it. After they get used to it, offer food from yur hand so they know you won't hurt them. After theis is successful, genty push or massage their stomach so they can climb onto yur finger. Also, if they succeed in a certain area, reward them with a treat such as a honey stick.

Separate them into different cages, once they're tame you can put them together. When they're together, they have no interest in knowing you. You may want to put them in different rooms for now too. They won't learn to talk together either. When you put them back together, start with putting the cages next to each other for a while then put them together...Good Luck!

Have the wings clipped. This will take some of the aggression away and keep working at it.
