Parakeet training?

Question

I have two parakeets, one male one female, for about a year or two. I've tried training them but they are still really scared of me...what should I do to help them trust me more so that I can train them?

Answer 1

my parakeets were easier to train wen i got their wings clipped putting soft music on helps to but sumtimes they immitate the sounds so make sure u dont do sumtin crazy lol

also taking ur index finger and gently pressing it into their feet lets them learn to trust u enough so they will stand on yr finger make sure u play with them put a lil food in yr hand but dont train more then five mins they get easily bored and agitated

Answer 2

well as long as they dont bite try to put food on ur hand and wait at sometime they will come and take a nibble but dont do sudden movements or they get more scared and try and do this 15 mins a day or somthin

Answer 3

You should have started training them when you just got them. Older parakeets are more scared than younger ones!

Answer 4

omg your just like me i have one male and female(male is more gentle) and i have had them for about 1-2 years. i just started training them by taking one of those sticky things or perch's and gently puttin it on their feet now i put my finger under the perch/stick and when they get on i roll the stick so they go off balance and land on my finger, their feet are so warm lol. its been three days and all that has happened, but i only teach the male because the female bites no matter what. hope that helps let me know how it goes.
