Why my parakeet dont like me it like they scared of me?

Question

My parakeets act like they like me but most of the time they act like they scared of me and start biting me. But my younger parakeet dont bite me as hard as my other one.

Answer 1

Even though you truly think you have gained the trust between your two birds, it can easily be forgotten. Once parakeets truly trust you, they won't bite no matter what, but in some cases they will, as in to tell you that they don't like it, whatever it is that you are doing. My parakeets don't like it when i have my hands rapped around them. So i taught them to make a cute little squeaky sound when they don't like, and i would release them. Try and teach your birds to communicate differently with you and try and learn their body language, it will come in handy.

Answer 2

Are they pared? Sometimes, they just don't want to be bothered. My Cockatiels will act like that sometimes, when they don't want me to bother them. The reason the younger ones don't is because they haven't developed that attachment yet. Hope this helps.

Answer 3

My experience with birds has been, if the birds are not hand raised they will be more defensive than hand raised birds. If they are paired they will not be friendly with you. Sorry that's just the way it is. You can make them SLIGHTLY more friendly by offering them treats in your hand. The main thing is handling them when they are young.

When they see a hand moving towards them they are frightened because to them our hands look like snakes, which are predators to them.
