Hand-Taming Your Budgie in 21 Days

A three-week programme for a bird that is afraid of hands. Taming is not about getting hold of the bird — it is about removing every reason the bird has to expect being grabbed.

What's inside

• The five rules that decide whether taming works at all
• A body-language table: when to move closer, when to stop, when to leave
• Days 1–7: presence, and why skipping this week creates biters
• Days 8–14: the hand in the cage, and using millet as currency
• Days 15–21: the step-up, laddering, and the beginnings of recall
• What to do about biting, cage aggression and setbacks
• A maintenance plan so a tame bird stays tame

Who it's for

Owners of a fearful, untamed or newly rehomed budgie of any age.
