How come My Parakeets will not learn to be touched suggested treats?

Answer 1

~~it is much harder to train parakeets that share a cage. also if you have mirrors in the cage it makes it difficult to train them. Separate them, and in the beginning wear gloves and let them bite the gloves. when they learn that you don't react to the pain of getting bit they will then start to learn to trust you.~~

Answer 2

Sometimes the most difficult part of training is to find that one thing they will do anything for. Try little bits of cheese, or tiny bits of mashed potato. Little bits of taco chips, might work as well.
When they are eating, try and observe what they eat first in their bowl.
After you figure out what they like best, omit that from their regular diet and only use it to train your bird.
A "little" of anything isn't going to hurt them if used for training and in moderation.
Learn Positive Enforcement Training.
Please continue to work with your birds. If you are using treats, you are using positive reinforcement techniques to train him to "step up" on to your hand. Continue giving him a treat when he steps up and reinforce him vocally, by saying "Good Boy!"
Use a cue to get him to step up, such as "step up" or "up,up"...whatever you want.
There are many websites that can help you with positive reinforcement training. this is one of the best:

I don't know how interested you are in training your bird and how far you want to go with it, but you can teach some amazing behaviors to birds. Training is a form of communicating with your bird and really necessary for a healthy and positive relationship. You are spending time with him while training him, and not only is training fun, but your bird will feel a sense of accomplishment by learning new skills.
Start with "step up". After you learn more about training him, the only limit on what he can learn is your imagination. Birds are extremely social and he needs the interaction with you. Please visit those websites to get a clearer picture on positive reinforcement training.
Good Luck!
