Start out by offering a hand with seed and stay very still. You want to show her that your hand won't hurt her. Don't try to grab her or push your hand towards her or it may scare her. When she realizes you won't harm, move to offering a finger or even a stick to perch on.

I agree with Emily. Some Budgies are less afraid of a perch than a of hand. For others the hand is fine. It's good to experiment and see what works best.

The key is to take it slow. Understand that when it comes to hand taming, you are not simply befriending an animal, you are over coming a fear. Most budgies are terrified of hands by the time you get them home. They have been grabbed from nests, boxes and cages - when they see a hand they assume it is coming to snatch at them. You have to reteach them, they are not blank slates.

I find talking to the bird and letting your hand be in the cage, as others have said, helps. Really does not matter what you say as long as it is soft and calm voice
