[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 184661, member: 1991"] One of our budgies is currently trying this on me. She's got the 'run' of the house but prefers my sunny bathroom. I can see her through my door, most of the time she's perched on the plant stand. But when she flies down to perch on the stool, she starts chirping. "chirp... chirp... chirp... chirp..." over and over, until I go in and give her some millet. I'm trying to hand-tame her and so I put my arm down on the stool with the millet spray resting on my arm. She can have millet, but only if she comes and takes it from my arm. I let her eat until she flies away. She's skittish so she'll fly away if I move, or scratch my nose, or a shadow moves somewhere, or... And then I stand up, put the millet away and leave the room. A few minutes later I hear her again. "chirp... chirp... chirp... chirp..." she's back perched on the stool, looking for me to walk through the door with millet. I've been wondering who is training who. Marg [/QUOTE]
