thank you he's friendly when he knows you, Runner is cage protective (and protective of me) and only allows me to handle him. But when i'm not around him he will step up on anybody. 

It takes time and persistence to tame a bird (though runner is hand raised and already knew how to step up) don't worry my bird is considered a scardy cat he's scared of everything from my phone, paper, and common household items. Don't worry if you try your budgie will be tamed

She will step up on me, i didn't need treats or anything to do that she had started to have enough trust to do that on her own. She eats from my hand and so on so forth. However she is still very timid and scared of me, which is to be expected. I have to move slowly, and she's not exactly used to sitting on my shoulders or anything. She prefers to stay in her cage rather than be out of her cage, but i need to get her a perch thing because we don't exactly have one. I'm slowly going to try and tame her more with treats once we have the money to get her some ^ - ^ She is talkative and likes to be talked to and stuff, however shes still kinda iffy. She doesn't allow my mom to touch her or anything either so hehe.
   I can't quite pet her yet, because shes not at that level of trust. Sometimes when shes really tired from flying around shes okay with it because shes to tired to do anything, but i think im slowly getting her trust. I've had her for about a month and i got her to step up on my finger within the first three days or so, which surprised me.

His beak is so blunt compared to Sunny's haha
Also! If you gently rub a parrot in the little hole right underneath their beak, they will yawn. It's true! And Sunny loves it.
