i was just so close with lenny because i could take him out and he just started getting on my finger. he get on my finger, but i can get him out of the door with out him going back, probably because he flew out the first day of being separated.

probably. you know, the whole thing is just making me sad. i have been on TB and reading posts and comments and some people are just saying that they gave up because theirs budgie is too 'wild'. and i fear that butch will be like that because he only puts one foot on the perch and its taken 7 months to do that :'| and lenny is scared, and i am confuse on weather i should keep them in different room 24/7 so they never see eachother, or if they would do bett like i have them now, switching between in different rooms, next to each other, and across the house : (

keep them next to eachother. because in the long run, even if they dont tame fully, they have eachother and wont ever be alone  dont worry, its not a bad thing if a bird isnt tame. some birds just arent people birds. mango is like that, i believe how he is now will be as tame as he will ever get. but he is loved and happy to be with us and his ball and hes a happy little bird. what more can we ask for keep working with them, you are doing great, i promise. every little thing you do that is positive is trust earned  |

well lenny is doing better and comes on my finger again. but he will only go on one hand now and not the other. butch is now back to normal and i am trying to have him reach farther for millet so maybe he will put the second foot on the perch. i feel like i am asking to much from him, but there is nothing else i can do with him

some birds take time, don't worry. just keep working with them if you want to earn their trust, it may take a long long time with the shier one but it never hurts to keep trying |

Ideally for taming you want their whole attention, so keeping them caged together but taming in a separate room is ideal. And some birds are just never gonna be cuddly and will always be a little skittish. It doesn't mean they're wild, it just means that they're more bird birds then people birds. And there is nothing wrong with that.

now that they are separated they are always in different room when trained. usually they are across the room form each other any other time and when i am feeling really nice i put the cages together i know butch might not be a cuddly bird but i am 99% sure he was abused/ roughly handled in his last home, due to his trust issues after he gets his nails clipped. he wants to be your friend, but is just too scared right now. with much love and TLC, this will change and i will never give up on any animal that falls into my hands |
