I'm working on recall training with my budgies, but if they don't want to come to me, they don't. I will start syringe training them soon, but I doubt they will ever just perch someplace and let me file their claws. So, I will ultimately need to towel them for that. (FYI, I do have pumice safety perches for them, but those only go so far).
They will come to me for millet, but if I make a move with the other hand they will fly away. I have had to chase them around the flight cage in the past to towel them and transfer them to a carrier or give them medication. I'd like to keep this to a dull roar if at all possible. Is there some way to work with budgies so that this process will be much less stressful? What has worked for you and your budgies?
