How to Teach a Budgie to Catch Flies

Start training. Try a bead on a string. Sunflower seeds work well too. Just wave the bead/food around your budgie and they will try to catch it. When they do, give it a treat.

Practice. Don't expect the bird to catch a fly right away! Just try using food or the bead!

Introduce the fly. When your budgie starts getting good, get a dead fly. Don't give them a big one, give them one they can eat. A house fly would be ideal. .

Set them on a live fly. If their wings aren't clipped, that is a good thing as they will chase it around. If they have been clipped, they will just walk around chasing it.

Reward your budgie. When they made a catch, give them a treat. Seed works well, but they will eat the fly.
