This might sound like a weird question, but how do I teach my budgie not to fly at my nose?
I can't understand what she thinks but I feel like she thinks my nose is a perch :roflmao:

Any tips on how to prevent this behavior?

I'm not 100% sure it will work, but try placing your finger or hand in front of your nose as your budgie flies towards you to see if she prefers it.

If she’s making contact and getting to land on you then it will be encouraging her to continue to try, any time she flies at you in a way you don’t like then make a special effort to duck and weave so she can’t land on you. You will also benefit from teaching her to come to you on cue. She will get the hint she’s only welcome if she flies to you when asked to or attempts to land on your arm or other place you’re ok with.
