Progress with my budgies

My budgies have been slowly getting accustomed to me, and after flying away for a couple of times they've come to ,somehow, trust me more than they did before trying to make a run for it. They eat out of my hands and consistently get onto it to eat, they don't get spooked if i put a finger in the cage, instead, they start to nibble on my finger and jumping on it (this is after bribing them a couple of times with food).
Overall in the span of 3 days they've come from refusing to get close to my hands to jumping on it no problem. I am so happy about this:yahoo: but there's a lot more bribing to gain their trust left to do!
:sad2: So sorry for the lq pics but they're screenshots from a video

I am 3 years in and the best effort I made is that I can get very close to them when they are outside and they will chirp to me but God forbid I show them fingers. One day maybe. :sad4:

Amazing progress! Keep up the great work - no rush, just let them do their thing, sounds like wonderful progress in that short time!
