I remember when we got a budgie when I was a child, the lady in the vet said it's important to tame them before they reach 9 weeks old, otherwise it's harder after that point.

I don't know how true that is - we never got our budgie tame but then maybe we needed to be with him 24/7 and we were only handling him in the evenings when we were home.
