Question
hi
i have two budgies
and i've recently seperated them in order to tame them, because its just to hard to tame them together.
my male budgie is coming along nicely, stepping on my finger when i push his belly,
but my female one ABSOLUTELY FREAKS OUT when i push her belly. she doesnt freak out when my hand is near, calm actually, but when i try to get her to step on my finger, she climbs the side of the cage, or flies away. how do i get her to step on my fingers

Answer
Hi, Rockerfeller,

I found your question in the question pool this morning.  I don't know why it was not answered when you submitted it.

This is Chrys and you sent your question directly to me previously and I responded.  Whomever you sent your same question to evidently could not answer.
