I am about to get 2 male budgies which are going to be about a year old. The only thing is, is that they have not been handled or anything. Will i still be able to train/handle them? Will they ever be able to spaek? Does anyone know of any training websites i could visit?
Thank you,
poppy

They will be harder to tame and train than young budgies kept apart from other birds - and they will also be unlikely to learn to talk much. Sorry to say that.
You should still be able to tame them if you are just patient and work to get their trust. Just be aware that unlike single budgies, these birds don't have any real need for your companionship - they have each other. So you may have to work more with food and treat bribes so that you can offer them something they want as a reward. They are sociable little birds and when they do accept you they will probably become quite friendly and happy to come over to you.
