Answer 1

Well first of all, if you wanted a hand tamed parakeet you should have gone out no matter how long it took you to find one and buy it.

Secondly, never make your bird being tamed so important to you that it does get on your nurves when it doesn't do what you expect it to.

Parakeets are not naturally bred for being hand tamed and is very rare if you find one at all.

Parakeets most of the time have their own minds made up not to be tamed, Even hand feeding babies without the parents input does not guarentee a hand tamed parakeet.

LEARN to ENJOY just sitting back and watching how playfull and happy your bird can be without you trying to put your hands on it. Learn to enjoy watching his personality, who he is when he thinks you aren't looking, and enjoy his singing, telling you how much he appreciates you for giving him his own space.

Look at YOURSELF threw the bird's eyes, how would you feel if these strange spider looking hands were coming towards you? You were not hand fed, so you have no idea they mean no harm to you, so your first instict is to run or fly away or flutter hoping it will go away.


Remeber your bird needs his own space and that space does not include your hands in the picture or interupting his world.

Once YOU learn to appreciate your bird loving his own space, your last nurve will be at ease and you will find an entire new world of loving birds for who they are, how they act, and the songs they sing to you, thanking YOU for Your LOVE.

Hi there. Repetition and enthusiasm helps. You can try a recording device for a couple of hours a day to avoid boredom of the recording. Wordy Birdy is such a device. Many parakeets do not talk and only a few will. He might be a better whistler. Good luck and have a tweet year.

Parekeets are smart birds, but it is hard to command them around like a dog. They need more work. You have to work with them every day, and teach them a word with an action, and praise them when they get it right. Don't yell or get mad at them if they do it wrong, just say nothing. Not all parakeets will learn to talk, you can make a tape and record what you want it to learn and play it every day. My parakeet doesn't talk, but he picked up some whistles I taught him.

well once anyone first gets a parakeet their supposed to keep in it's cage for two weeks so it can get use to the area and make sure to talk to it and interact with it so it can get use to you. i would do this in your case, its not like it can become ndomesticated. but my parakeet is extremly tame and very much use to fingers and hands and very sweet. but what i did to get mine like that was consistantly pick him up & give him little kisses, hehe. but hes very nice & honestly, thats all i did. hope this helps.


ps- give them humen food. commercial bird diets are becoming more acceptable as the staple diets for many species. so their diet should consist of: fruits & vegetables (twice daily & constitute 20-25% of the birds diet), breads & cereal ( twice daily but 10-15% of it's diet), protien (twice daily and be 10-20% of the birds diet), and lastly no more than 20% of the bird's diet should be in the form of seeds.
"most table food is okay for birds, but the following is poisonous! never feed: avacado, caffine, chocolate, rhubarb, sprouted lima beans, fava & navy beans. cooked rice & pasta (both raw & cooked) have a place in your bird's diet. they can eat eggs, dairy products, including yogurt, ice cream & cheese, as well as meat (fat removed), poultry, pasta, whole grain breads, vegetables & fruits."

remember the rules:
1. nothing greasy, salty, or sugary
2. no caffine or alchohol
3. no avacados
4. no chocolate
5. stick with a "health food" type diet
6. give a variety of foods
7. introduce new foods gradually
8. do not leave food in the cage for more than 4 hours (especially high protien foods)
9. remove table food from the cage in the evening
10. wash all food and water dishes daily

Call your local Pet shop and ask for advice. Or your local vet, they will have the needed information your looking for. Also, your local library will have books and information on training yourself or sources as to whom to call. Good luck!
