Same thing with my hamster, you usually need to tame hamsters. My hamster didnt even bite anyone in her entire lifetime ( My hamster died of a tumor, I will never forget hammy the hamster ). She let you pick her up, didnt matter who you were. The one I dont understand is when we adopted her, she had a small hole in her ear. It makes me wonder about her past. My cat didnt even bother her, they were best buds. I went to the pet store to check out some birds to adopt, and I saw 2 parakeets playing with eachother, I might get them so that way when im out at school, they have eachother to play with :].
Jaime Perez lol I got mine from Petsmart and left him in the cage for 3 days so that he could get comfy and feel safe 4th day pet him through the cage, let him out of the cage and let him get used to the house 5th day he let me hold him and now always want to be with me! Amazing ✨
My parakeet is a rescue. My dad found him a couple of years back so we don't know his age or anything like that. Years past that we've been with him but he's still VERY scared of humans. He's closer to me and my dad (Mostly my father) and will sometimes come out but it's rare. He pecks a lot and gets scared when anything comes near him but I don't blame him. This was the first year I tried putting my entire hand inside of his cage so yeah. I try to take him out on my own but I'm scared to put my finger near him since he bites a lot. I don't really know what to do.. I feel AWFUL for him because he's been cooped up in a cage for so long without much attention except for "Hello, Good Morning, I love you".. I was pretty young back then so I didn't do much. I want to make it up to him but so far, he only comes out when my dad is the one trying to get him out. He also doesn't have a variety of food choices like most parakeets do. He only eats seeds. I tried getting him to eat peaches but nothing. And another thing, I don't know much about parakeets so I don't know if mine is in good condition.. He seems fine but I don't want to take any risks. I really need help.
I'm Rafaela I don't know what is wrong either but take him to the vet and make sure everything is good with him , try putting some fruit and veggies in his cage , give him some attention , buy him toys , get him a cuttlebone , try your best helping him , he might not be feeling great
They tend to like lettuce from what I have heard. Plus, that is the only treat I can use on one of my budgies, the other one I just got so I don't know what it likes yet.
Parakeets are not trying to bite you they will bite a little but you can’t jump or move your hand act like it doesn’t hurt and it will stop biting. The reason why it’s nibbling on your hand is to check if you are weak or the bird may nibble to see if you aren’t scared of the bird and it’s bite doesn’t hurt you. The bite will hurt but don’t say “ow” and don’t move your hand. Your budgie will be super tame and not bite as much!💞
I don't have a parakeet but do have a baby 2-3 month old parrotlet and this actually worked. Had her for a week and she is used to my hand now : 3 Thank you on the technique! : )
I know these videos are a few years old, but they are still great! You do a very good job of explaining clearly, so children can watch and understand too. Thank you!
i got 2 new parakeets yesterday and they’ve done extremely well, but don’t worry i’ve been very careful to not push them too far or far at all but i basically followed what she did in the video throughout the day and i got my parakeet to be on my finger and i’m super happy & excited. thank you!!
I just tried the spray millet and holding it opposite of them with my fingers, and Chiyo (my male) just hopped onto my finger/hand and ate. Thank you very much for the advice!!
Lady you radiate such kindness, in each video I find I'm looking more at YOU than the bird. Thank you for your excellent instructions. I am making progress with "Jack" I just have to remember it has to be at his pace, not mine. And you are SO pretty - I have to discipline myself to pay more attention to the lesson and less to the teacher. ( : { )
My daughter is getting me a parakeet this week! I haven't had one in decades. Now that I am retired I will be able to spend so much more time training and playing. My bird will be so spoiled:) I really enjoy watching your videos. You are delightful and your birds are both so pretty. Thanks for sharing!
I just got a fancy parakeet today, and I would like to train her. I have her a big cage, some toys, and food. When we put her in the cage she seemed a bit nervous and scared, i'm trying my best to keep her comforted and happy. I found out that it takes about 2 weeks to make them comfortable at their new home. So maybe after 2 weeks I should try this.
Your such a big help I just got a female parakeet 2 days ago she is already really nice and sweet. I was surprised how nice she is she doesn't bite she gives kisses and a lot of other stuff she learns really fast
Well thank you so much, and it's nice to hear you have such a sweet Budgie. Sounds like you are doing a great job as her owner to make her feel comfortable and loved!
Thanks for all of your helpful videos. I particularly liked this one, because of the detailed shots of how you hold the millet in your hand while teaching the budgies to perch on your fingers on the same hand. I adopted 2 budgies 2 weeks ago (both male, we think, but they are only about 4 months old, so. we're not sure). They had been worked with for a month (after being purchased from a pet store) by the previous/original owner, then spent a month in a bird rescue, where they didn't get too much attention due to there being so many birds there. Then I adopted them. Anyway--one thing that would really help me is having some sense of how long the process took you to get your birds from "naturally flighty" to "perching happily." I realize every animal is different and they have their own timelines, and I respect that (I train wary dogs for a living using only positive methods). But--just in rough terms--does it take days? weeks? months?? Thanks again!
I got my pet Budgie today, she is blue so i named her Jewel (inspired from the movie Rio) she is so sweet and jumps on my hand everytime I have it out and in her presence. I got her as an early bday gift since my bday is July 6... my grandpa got it for me. Thanks gpa!
I originally wanted to get one bird. But I saw that bird cuddling up with her “boyfriend” and I just couldn’t separate them. So I got two. I got them two days ago, and they’re already somewhat adapting. I hope for the best for them and all your bird stop! I’ll keep you guys updated.
OMG OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH THIS HELPED ME SO MUCH MY PARAKEET DIDNT WANNA GO ON MY HAND BEFORE THIS BUT NOW SHE WILL PUT ONE OF HER FEET ON ME THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! :D
I really do enjoy your videos. I don't have a budgie yet, but plan to get one after Christmas. But I have to ask, do you keep them in the same room with the router and modem? I'm a little worried about doing that and would like your thoughts?
Love your video's! helps a beginner like me. where did you get the beautiful wooden perch in the video!? All the stores near me only have wooden dowels. Please and thank you!
So I just started watching your videos and I need help I had my parakeets for 2 years and I was afraid to play with them but now I want to train them do I separate them and train them one by one
This is gonna help really well. My friends are getting rid of their three budgies/keets and they are scared of people. Mostly because of screaming and loud noises in the house. I'm gonna try and get them used to my hand and me. I also have a question. Do I have to be very slow when first putting my hand in? Or a speed that I can have them get used to, like the speed you were going at.
i recently got a parakeet, i'd say 3 or 4 days ago and she is getting used to me pretty fast. Her name is angel she is white and a baby so right now is pry the best time to do this while they are young so when she grows old she is already used to me.... This video helped a lot so thank you, your budgies are very cute :3
I've had my budgie rocko 2 days. he's quite good with me putting my hand in the cage. he doesn't fly away but he sometimes leans back a bit. he did put one foot on my finger for the first time today.
I have been trying the same things you are showing in this video for 6 weeks 3 or 4 times a day and i can put my hand in the cage but my bird will jump or fly away from my hand if i get to close to it? Even with a treat?
Hello! I am thinking about getting a budgie. And I have watched so much of your videos. It helps me understand budgies more and I can't wait to get one! Just one question. If you do feed your budgie fruita/veggies, do you cut them into small pieces or let them eat and pick off of it?
Carlos Nunez Hi Carlos. I am so glad my videos are helpful to you! I cut most of my fruits/veggies into smaller pieces. Grape bits are particularly popular at the moment (no seeds). I do leave leafy greens, like Kale, all in one piece and my birds will bathe on the moist leaves and then bite pieces off as well. Individual birds can have different preferences, so sometimes you have to experiment and see what works!
i got two parakeets from PetSmart and I've had them for 6 days one is 9 weeks the other is 6 months and sometimes the 9 week old squaks and flaps around in his cage what does it mean(one is male the other is female). and also, should I let them out of their cage bc i still haven't done that yet.
I have a baby parakeet that was being picked on at the petstore, so they had her in her own cage. Is it wise to think of getting company for this type of situation?
When i got my pet budgies they were kinda scared after a few minutes they was pretty nice he would look at my hand when i put my hand inside and my blue budgie was on the wall of the cage his head was outside of the cage then he when on the stick then the wooden bridge but they didnt want to eat can someone tell me if thats normal pls.
when my budgie hopped on my finger to eat the millet everything was fine but when i didn’t have the millet as soon as it hopped on my hand it started to aggressively nibble on my finger what dose that mean?
I know this video is old but in just got my parakeet yesterday and she is very skittish right now I know they are supposed to be like that for awhile until they get used to their new environment but I was wondering how long should I wait until I try to get her to perch on my finger?(if anyone knows that please tell)
My budgies actually ate out of my hand the first day I got them! They're getting more use to me everyday. Thank you!!!!!!
That is awesome!!!
Same!! My parakeet is so cute and loves eating off of my hand
;-;

Same!!! I just got them today
My budgie just sat on my finger so now I’m binge watching these lol!
Awesome
We are now eating from the hand safely, progressing well. a little scared of my finger yet, but we'll get there!
PsycloneTread same with mine
How are they now?
@PsycloneTread how did your taming go?
@@cloverthebeagle6429 everything went well, actually!
@PsycloneTread cool! how long did it take to fully tame your budgie?
I was just training my bird and now he’s shaperning his beack
It is called beak grinding it means he likes u and feels comfortable around u
I got my parakeet from a pet store and when I took him out of the box he jumped on my finger
+Jaime Perez Wow, that's pretty cool. Hopefully you will have an easier time of taming your bird, if it is ok with being so close to you already.
That's so cool
He was probably owned prior to you getting him and is already friendly towards humans. That or he's accepted fate and decided to make you it's master lol

My bird is able to perch on my hand only with millet, but it won't come out of the cage! Please help me!
Buy him a budgie friend they will always come out if theyre out with a friend
Budgie Madness I have 3 budgies already..
+alfred tahmasian ohh ok mine wasnt very tame but then i bought him a budgie friend and ne became really tame
Budgie Madness oh ._.
Show him whose boss >:)
I’ve had mine for a day, he started chirping and dancing in his cage.
My bird rushes to me when I walk into the room
I just love how you talk with confidence and like you are positive about the things you say👏🏻❤️
Whoever disliked this is stupid because it really helps!!!!!!
MrKmbutt Thanks a lot. I am glad the video is helpful :-).
It helps so much
Wow thank you so much my budgies are now stepping up on my hand! Peeling the Milliet off was a great idea.
I got my parakeet from a small business because it was cheaper and my friend said that it was great for birds and ill try this technique soon.

WolfMan01 Well wonderful! Glad I could help, and by the way, I love parrotlets...they are super cute!
Both of my budgies were scared when I first got them but now they are both a bit tamed. Their names are Mossy and Skye.
Jonaline Adathan Their names is so beautiful😁 my budgie was also scared when I first got him, but he very quickly started to become kind of time too😎
@@Kamiiexx 😊
Did you tame them in the same cage or separated?
Addy Rose I have a parakeet named skye too 😃

Great video! Thanks
Thank you! This is my 2nd day of having my parakeet! Im trying to train him to go on my finger and try to talk
Thanks for the video.
Awesome work you put in with ur lovely birds. I'm trying to teach our female Albino keet like u have.. She's very consistent at listening.
I got a budgie from a shelter and because of how she was previously treated, she was really scared when she sees me.
Now she is really used to people
This helped so much thank you
Hey thanks so much gonna be perching like a pro!😄💯
This helped me with my parakeet perch
I really do enjoy your videos. I don't have a budgie yet, but plan to get one after Christmas. But I have to ask, do you keep them in the same room with the router and modem? I'm a little worried about doing that and would like your thoughts?
any idea about what size cage i should get if i want a single budgie?
great vid ! even 9yrs later this is still helpful lol
It helped me so much. I didn't know where to place my hand at First but this video taught me
Love your video's! helps a beginner like me. where did you get the beautiful wooden perch in the video!? All the stores near me only have wooden dowels. Please and thank you!
So I just started watching your videos and I need help I had my parakeets for 2 years and I was afraid to play with them but now I want to train them do I separate them and train them one by one
she is THE jazzy bird tamer
Mine is on her way to me as I type this. Her suite is ready, and I can hardly wait!
I got mine from outside.(right outside my house)
Does it act differently if I got it that way?
Is it better to get one parakeet at a time or can you get at least more then 3 at time
can parakeets adapt to living outside? finding their food. can they survive outside if they were bred in captivity?
This is gonna help really well. My friends are getting rid of their three budgies/keets and they are scared of people. Mostly because of screaming and loud noises in the house. I'm gonna try and get them used to my hand and me. I also have a question. Do I have to be very slow when first putting my hand in? Or a speed that I can have them get used to, like the speed you were going at.
For a first vid this is well edited
Thanks so helpful!
What do you do if the budgie flys away to the other side of the cage do you leave then be or
I’m getting my parakeet Saturday ! Do you think that clipping their wings is a bad thing?
I am wondering were did you get your cage
i recently got a parakeet, i'd say 3 or 4 days ago and she is getting used to me pretty fast. Her name is angel she is white and a baby so right now is pry the best time to do this while they are young so when she grows old she is already used to me.... This video helped a lot so thank you, your budgies are very cute :3
I GOT A BIRD NAMED ANGEL AND AHES WHITE AS WELL
shes like the jazzy bird tamer
Which food is on your hand can you send me a link to buy this food actually i didn't get any food like this on online...
How much time would it take to get the parakeets to get used to having my hand in the cage?
this really helped me
Great! I am glad to hear that, and thanks for the comment!
Hello! Where did you get that cage from?
I've had my budgie rocko 2 days. he's quite good with me putting my hand in the cage. he doesn't fly away but he sometimes leans back a bit. he did put one foot on my finger for the first time today.
How soon do I put the hand in the cage just got my parakeet today
Most people say "step up" to train them to do so when they say it, would it also work to whistle a little tune?
+Dagmar v. Haarlem yes! You would want to whistle that tune only when you're wanting them to step up, so there's a distinction.
What should i do because one of my bird bits
Good job thanks for help
I'm thinking about getting a parakeet. Any video suggestions?
I have been trying the same things you are showing in this video for 6 weeks 3 or 4 times a day and i can put my hand in the cage but my bird will jump or fly away from my hand if i get to close to it? Even with a treat?
Thanks now I can watch TV with the budgie on my shoulder 😀😁😃😃😄😅😆
would you wan to wait to gain their trust and gt them tame or would you want to do it now to help gain trust and tame
They need to at least be comfortable with your presence and hand nearby!
Thank you so much for this video I help me so much with my

did you let them out? I have the same question but im scared of letting mine out cuz he seems very scared and is not trained at all yet
thank you that is a very good explaing good!
I have a baby parakeet that was being picked on at the petstore, so they had her in her own cage. Is it wise to think of getting company for this type of situation?
Hey I want to know what to get on your first day, what should I start with
First day of owning a budgie? If so, then watch our video about getting a parakeet. It highlights everything you will need!
When i got my pet budgies they were kinda scared after a few minutes they was pretty nice he would look at my hand when i put my hand inside and my blue budgie was on the wall of the cage his head was outside of the cage then he when on the stick then the wooden bridge but they didnt want to eat can someone tell me if thats normal pls.
Wow now my parakeet will be used to me thanks
when my budgie hopped on my finger to eat the millet everything was fine but when i didn’t have the millet as soon as it hopped on my hand it started to aggressively nibble on my finger what dose that mean?
How do you get the bird to do the salsa to the music.
i need help i got my parakeet last year and he's still really scared of me what should i do

Hi. I have 2 budgies, whenever i put the food dishes the female one always spills it on the floor. Do you have any tips?
