Lesson 2
Now you're ready to sit keet on your finger.Just remember, never attempt to sit him/her
on your shoulder right away.Follow these quick rules to carry your bird around the house without the heavy cage.
First,gently approach your index finger towards him/her.Slowly so you won't frighten your bird,rub his/her
belly,until he's/she's OK with it.Softly press your index finger on his/her abdonomen,urging him/her to sit on your finger.But
if she or he is not in the mood,don't press him/her to much or he'll/she'll get mad and probably bite.Try this everyday until
budgie gives up and finally sits.
Once you've managed to get him/her to sit, leave him and your finger inside for a few minutes.
Lesson 3
Now,you must have practiced for days, haven't you?
So now,you can gently approach your parakeet with your hand.If he/she doesn't seem scared,put on a
glove in case he/she bites you.Push your index finger on his/her abdomen softly,and patiently wait for budgie to jump on your
finger.Don't expect him to jump away at first.He/she will now when he/she is ready.
Another way:
If you have a lot of birds like me,try catching them GENTLY with your hand wrapped around a towel.Make
sure his/her head and claws are sticking out.Don't press budgie too hard!So then,set his/her talons on your finger, but don't
let go.After a little while,do let go,He/she might stay perched on your finger,or he'll/she'll jump off.Keep trying,still!
