So I have a newish budgie, have had him for 2 months, and he lets me come up to him with an outstretched finger, he is fairly confident, but when I touch the finger to him, in the step up way, nudging it against his chest, he completely freezes, and doesn't seem to understand. I'm worried that I will hurt or traumatise him, or make him mistrust me, by pushing too hard when he doesn't understand. Do you think that I should persist, or try some other training method? Any advice would be appreciated thanks
