First, just spend time in the room with them. Go about your daily business, give them food, talk to them. After they are less nervous when you’re simply in the room, do the hand thing for a while every single day (put your hand in the cage, don’t try to touch them).

Can you have 2 male budgies together?

Why does my budgie run away from my hand?

At this age, in the wild they would be weaning or soon weaned and then the parents would push them away. So instinctively they are trying to be independent. All baby birds go through this stage – one day they love you, the next day they act like you are a stranger.

When can I let my Budgie out of the cage?

For young budgies, it is actually the other way around! Very young budgies can be slightly trickier to sex as they tend to all have pink ceres which changes as they grow. Usually by 8 weeks you should be able to see the characteristics that tell you if your bird is a little boy or a little girl.
