Thanks for your help girls. I always thought that it was better to clip their wings to stop them injuring themselves when out of the cage and that maybe they would be easier to train. My birdie is indoors with me.

just carry on as you are gently talking. and as bouncyfi said try treats to tempt them. None of our budgies had their wings clipped, we had an outdoor aviary and also kept some indoors.

I wouldn't wing clip my budgies just cos thats what they're meant to do - fly - cos they're birds. My budgies have the cage door open all the time so they can come in & out as they please - except at dinner cos they fly onto the table and steal the chips off your plate! They usually stay in the lounge but once or twice I've found them upstairs in the bedrooms.

With my budgies I've always just sat and spoke to them for hours with my hand in or near their cages. Its always worked better when they're on their own than in with the other budgies. I've also tempted them with split grapes on my hands, my budgies can't resist them! It's really just perserverance and patience.
