Question
Hello, I was wondering if I buy two young 6-9 week old baby budgies parent raised and keep there wings clipped and let them out daily would there be a possiblity for them to be finger tame so I can put them back in there cage or take them out? I don't need them to be stuck to you loving just nice enough to not bite hard when I need to clip them or cut there nails.

Answer
Hi, Tara.

If these babies were not handfed by the breeder, they are likely not tame.  Parent raised budgies are most likely not at all tame and you will not be able to do what you want with untame babies.  Also, since birds prefer other birds to humans, if you buy 2 birds, especially untame ones, they will not be receptive to you.  If you want a tame bird, buy 1 handfed, just weaned baby bird as a pet.
