Listed below are some main points I went over so you don't have to keep on rewatching the video.

- 1 budgie is easier to tame than two. If you do have two budgies, keep them in separate cages
- The best age to get a budgie is between 8-12 weeks. The older the bird, the harder it can be to tame.
- I would highly advise against wing clipping because birds have a flight or fight response. If you take away their flight, when they feel in danger they will bite.
- NEVER force a bird up onto you, yell at them, or punish your bird.
- If a budgie is on a proper diet, they will have high value treats. You can use these treats in training sessions.
- If you do get bit, never have a reaction or pull your hand away because it encourages this biting behaviour.
- The step up method is shown. In the video at 4:50
- Training sessions should be only 2-5 minutes long, a couple times a day.
- Talking and making weird sounds can make your bird interested in you so they will want to come to you.
- If you have an aggressive bird, you can use the shake method. Its shown in the video at 7:20
- Some aggressive budgie body language includes, leaning away from you, striking your hand, a stiff body, and running away from you.

I hope this video helped at least someone out there. If you want me to post any other specific videos, just let me know. Stay safe everyone.
