Not sure where to go with budgie?

Postby ecker8 » Sun Jun 10, 2012 4:17 am

So i began starting to teach my budgie to flight recall. I started off in his cage saying 'UP' and then 'DOWN' then rewarding him with a treat he has now learnt that when i say 'UP' he jumps onto my finger however the problem is getting him outside the cage. I can get him outside the cage and I always allow him to fly around whilst I'm in the room, I can get him back into his cage with ease, but when training it is a whole different story.
Whenever he hears a car noise he gets scared and flies away, when he hears something coming up the stairs he flies away and I am just not sure how to train him since he is so timid?
Thanks in advance
Ryan.

When training you should bring your birdie in a quiet room free from distractions.
As for you bird being scared, it's probably still adjusting to the unfamiliar noises etc, just find a way to show your bird that everything is okay, safe and nothing bad is going to happen :)
Good luck
