I have just recently purchased some parakeets and i have had them for a few weeks and i was wondering if any one els on this site has pet birds and has a few tricks in order to get them to like you more ? or get use to you faster pleaze let me know"thumbsup"

Rub olive oil all over yourself and roll in bird seed. They'll love ya and follow you anywhere. Wear a cup.

Stop being a 3rd wheel and let them live! Just kidding, keep playing with them and they will come around.

Are they afraid of you or something, what have you done to socialize?

I hear they taste like chicken...

i always stick my hand in the cage but not grab at them just let my arm sit their hoping they will get use to me and talk to them... give them treats and what not

ANd saftey glasses. ;-) Sounds like you're doing the right stuff though....

sure i just wanna be able to have em get up on my fingure and i can play with them and what not

My brother had a Nanday Conure years ago, when he first arrived he was the same. It took him a couple months to get used to us and trust us. Once he did if he saw someone come near his cage he'd hop right over to the door. Then all you had to do was open his door, he'd hop out on the edge and onto your finger right away. Then he'd walk up your arm and sit on your shoulder, and it was tough to get him back off again to put him away.

He was a good pet IMO. He was 'sposed to have clipped wings, but he learned to fly again anyway. And he was'nt 'sposed to be able to talk, but we taught him to say "hello".

You're doing the right thing, just "be their friend" and they'll come around. Talk softly to them and don't make sudden moves. They have smaller brains than a dog or cat and it takes them a little longer, that's all...
