He was put on a somewhat flexible training diet. He only got millet outside of the cage and for doing his tricks. It took time and desensitization. He was never really "fully tame" in my opinion but it has to do with budgie temperament.

Thanks so much! But the seeds of millet keeps falling off. And if I put glue on my finger, he can get sick!
