    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.

    Bird Not Responding "Normally" to Taming Attempts, Any Advice???

    I got a parakeet several months ago, and she's not responding to my attempts to tame her...or at least, not responding "normally".

    Will my budgie become untamed if i let his wings grow out?

    I clipped his wings while i was taming him and currently I am letting them grow out. He is not fully tamed though, he hand feeds and sits on my hand with millet but he does not know how to step up and i cannot take him out of the cage on my hand or a perch. In the past few days his flying has...
