URGENT!! how can i get my two parakeets to return to there cage? ?

Question

it's my firs time to let them out and i let them out in the bathroom. i closed the toilet seat and took out all hazerdes materials. they keep on flying everywhere and when i get close to them they freak out. this is urgent!!!!!

Answer 1

ok close the doors. they are verry freaked out about the dark, so while still looking at them, turn ouit the lights and imagine where they are then catch them. sometimes, if they are near their cage they may notice it. securly tape or clip it open or just leave it open and they may find their way back in the cage. my budies escaped and i opened the door of it and they circled the cage and went back inside! if u still have birds in side the cage, mine never come out even if the door is left open. dont know about yours.

hope this helps!

Answer 2

While in the room with them (with the door closed, obviously), keep watch until they land somewhere.  If they don't land anywhere, and continuously fly around, turn the light off mid-flight and think of where they would land.  They usually drop straight down.  

After they land, memorize their position, and shut the light off.  

If you have a net that would obviously be helpful to catch them, if not simply use a towel.  The larger surface area will help you catch them a bit easier.

Birds are afraid to fly in the dark because they can't see, and if they do fly, there's a chance that they'll hurt themselves.

Answer 3

Put alot of food in the cage and just leave. close the door and any escape routes and eventually they will have gone back in the cage to eat or anything else.

Answer 4

parakeets are always like that, unless hand fed or you tame them. Just keep chasing them until they get tired and pick them up, or you can grap them. Also, grab their tail when they get on your finger, because then they cant fly away.
