Feeling guilty
If a budgie trust a person, comes to his hands,visits outside standing in his hands…
Know him.Can the budgie fear him afterwards for grabbing the bird?

Hi,
Grabbing a bird one time isn’t going to destroy his trust. It might make him a bit more wary of the hands for a while. He is going to associate being grabbed with the hand and not as much with the person. That is why if you need to grab your bird, such as for a Vet visit, you should use a light towel so that he associates being grabbed with the towel and not a bare hand.
Thank you for asking Lafeber,
Brenda
