- Many of you guys have been asking me to do a video on taming birds, so here it is! Here are some of the do’s and don’ts for taming a skittish bird.
DISCLAIMER: Yes, my birds are already tame. This is not a full step-by-step tutorial video. The birds are showing some demonstrations so you can see parts of the process. This video focuses on things you should and should not do when taming your bird.

My grandpa got my bird really bonded to him. He was able to put his hand on her back and cuddle her in FOUR DAYS. He is magical.
Edit: Holy crap thanks for the likes-
Wow impresive
I was able to do that with mine on the first ❣
David When I trained my budgies in 5 days I moved them to a smaller temporary cage. It’s easy to train
It soon gonna take a year
David I did nothing. I took him out of the box and he was instantly connected to me
Me:-opens cage-
My birds: -show signs of not wanting to continue-
Me:ok then
Exactly😂😂
Keep trying 😂😂😂
Every time I open the cage he is like: ninja modus activated ready for landing on human😂
Same 😔
kiana van looy Lmao- 😂
NEVER look your bird in eyes. A professional parrot trainer told me that it might scare the bird because predators do it in nature.
where can i look it at then? i thought that your supposed to look them in the eye 😅
@@bladezz5397 look in another direction, your birb will not feel threatened
im so thankful ive known this, i recently got a new bird and ive only been staring just below her eye
@@87.l9 it's only for when u tame birbs :)
@@bladezz5397 some bird TH-cam have videos showing how to look at a new scared bird once ur bird if comfortable with you you can look at them in their eyes .
Finally someone good again at making bird videos, theres not a lot of birdyoutubers anymore
Marley mcohen is pretty good
I know
I agree but I also think Birdtricks is good not much for small birds tho but they’ll be making lots on small birds bc they got a budgie

i've been doing everything wrong😭 thanks for the advice🥺 my dad found a little baby olive-backed sunbird which was left to die after a typhoon. she was surrounded by ants and was not moving. thankfully my dad took her in and gave me the responsibility to take care of her. it has now been a week and im still learning how to take care of her since i never had a pet bird. she's doing very well and has since gotten better. she already knows how to fly but I still have to hand feed her. thanks again!
Awww ☺️
I hope your bird is doing better
She/he must be so thankful for you
People like you really cheer up my day :)
@@arisha.2010. 🥺🥺🥺
That's great. And my neighbours have done the same thing too. 😀😀😀 Hope you and your bird are enjoying together.
How’s the bird?
people like you and your dad show that there's still good people in this world. Hope she gets better
So- this is extremely helpful!! I’ve had my bird for a while (more than a year.) I feel so bad for her, because I completely neglected her. At first I paid attention to her, but the thing is, when we first got her I immediately gave her attention, and not giving her any time to get used to or even see her environment. I made so many mistakes and I feel horrible. I thought I did enough research but I was wrong. Because of my inexperienced self, I caused her to completely not trust me. I want to start bonding with her again, but its really hard to, because she’s horrified of me. Any tips are appreciated!! 🥺💖
Before giving her food, Try just sitting still and humming or singing before your bird, not looking at her. Do it every day same melodies. After 2 weeks, it will start producing serotonine in your birds brain and she'll get comfortable with you. She may even take over the melody. Same way, you can make a click sound with your mouth and then give her a treat, this way she'll associate the click sound with good or save and food. This way you can make the sound and she'll know you mean good when you put your hand in the cage.
I am wondering, have you managed to hand tame the bird since 1 year passed now?
me too, holy sh
@@avabee3124 same with me! i’ve had two tiels for almost 2 years now and ive done nothing.
I got birds in April 2020, and sister, your channel was a lifeline and now I have two sweet cuddly cockatiels who used to bite my everything
I was doing it all wrong! 😬 Thanks so much
I’m so glad you learned from this!!
Hmm uhm yeah I was doing every dont
Is that really bad
Munchkin gacha probably 😭
I just grab them with a cloth or something to put them back in their cage...stupid me🤦🤦
Psychotic Kiwi same
My bird is super smart, so he knows when it's time to train. He doesn't actually *like* to train, so he pretends to preen when I get near him. (Silly boy! Love him!)
Haahaah i wish mine will be smart but you bird sound like good bird what bird do you have?
oh my!!! i am putting my hand to it's chest, i shouldnt have done that!!! thanks for the advice
I could have really benefited from this knowledge when I got my 2 Budgies when I was a kid. Thank goodness it is equally beneficial for my own daughter now that she has hers. So thank you!

I need to give my bird more time, some people (especially my grandfather) tell me to just stick my hand in the cage until he’s not scared. They think I’m more afraid of the bird than it is him. Ducky is terrified of hands and foreign objects (think it’s because he was caught by nets a couple times to get to the bird shop and to come home with me. It upset me a little bit when the lady did that.)
The lady also tried to tell me that the cage I got him was too big and tried to get me to buy one of those small house shaped ones.
He already panics with my hand in the big cage that he can get away in! A smaller one would have been worse and forceful!
He was parent raised and is currently 8 months old. He tolerates me by his cage but sometimes I feel like I should take a step back for a bit since his crest is always up when I’m in my room.
I sometimes feel like he hates me (anxiety being a jerk), but I know he’s just scared. He’s never bit or attacked me, just runs/ flies to the other side of the cage and hisses at me. YES, I’m aware that hissing means he will bite if I don’t back off.. But when I Change his food and water bowls and put a stub of millet in his bowl, he never does. He just lets me know that he’s still afraid of me and to slow down.
It’s not that I’m a afraid of him but a little paranoid about what I’m possibly doing wrong, if I’m scaring him or feeding him too much. I keep his bowl full. I need to get more toys for him but like I said before, he thinks it’s coming after him. He doesn’t like me changing his food and water, he only barely accepts millet spray. Doesn’t eat from my hand though which is understandable.
He’s precious, but I feel like the time I took for research has no meaning anymore. I felt prepared. I felt ready, and am still willing to keep doing research, it’s just hard when what you’ve read or watched on video is not displayed by your bird ^^,
Maybe he’s picking up on my anxiety of scaring him whenever I do food/water changes? He starting to see me less of a threat though since I’ve started opening his cage door for the days I’m home all day. I hope I’m on the right track ;-;
Still the hand in or around the cage is a big no-no.
from a training perspective, Im very happy you are looking to do the best for your feathered freind!
you should never just stick your hand in the cage with a scared bird. This creates a negative association with you, working through tolerance is not a stable bridge to form a bond with a bird....like if someone were to be screaming at you until you stopped crying and then said "good job". if your bird is knew I always recommend my clients to never force your bird out of a carrier or leave them in a cage...you want to make it clear YOU and a trustworthy person that is there for your bird. I assume (based of your comment) your bird has been with you for a while so I would recommend target training and letting your bird out of the cage. Leave the cage door open and never force them to go out the cage is a safe place for scared birds, in order to break this you need to let your bird be comfortable with all its surroundings. you can offer treats like seeds in the door of the cage. Target training is the very first thing you can work on, this creates a language between you and the bird and overall proper training can form a strong bond.
as for getting others to spend time with your birds, socializing is important with all birds. but you need to make an effort to educate the people you work with about your birds boundaries, make the experience very enjoyable! you cannot expect people to understand what is means to work with a bird.
Pet store birds often come very timid of owners, but the worst thing you can do is give up.
I recommend channels like Flocktalk, Birdtricks, and Live here for training advice
(healthy diet also goes a long way with training)
Estie
Before I look into videos about it though, which I most definitely will, how would you suggest I try target training with him?
I feel that I may have a bit to go before I can put anything near him. He doesn’t trust me enough to come out of his cage.. even if I leave the room for a couple minutes to see if the issue is me being there ;-;
Edit: he’s only been with me for 3 weeks
@UCXBIa39rxgshvg4NqIRwiqw what I would do is spend as much time in the room, while you are in the room leave the cage door open he doesn't have to come out. put a few treat in his cage, make you being there enjoyable for him. the truth is most of your interaction with your bird will not be with them on you. Rather them and you enjoying each others pressence.
wow that @ really messed up
Estie Your so helpful omg- my bird doesn’t bite me, just gentle soft ones on my hand, as a sign to get away. He/she turns his back to me a lot, and I don’t want to give up. His okay with going on my hand but i didn’t know that they only go on your hand because they don’t want to fall.. j won’t be doing that mistake again. I don’t take him out of the cage a lot, but his starting to get out of the cage by his self because I like to leave the door open for him! His still scared of being held, bht that’s okay.
I’ve had him for 1-2 weeks. I don’t know the gender her, because it’s 2 months old!
I'm so amazed to see those birds so comfortable around you. Especially the ones that sit on your head🤗 I wish i could gain their trust just like you! Wish things work out slowly, hopes!
Thanks for this, we have had a budgie for over a week. Just had him out of the cage over the weekend. He is slowly learning, feeding from my hand on day one (untimed), and getting very trusting. It's all about being patient with them. Thanks again for all the tips x
Both of my birds flew up, out of the desert, and picked me. My ringneck came about 4 years ago. He love crawling all over me, but he won't let fingers near him. While he's standing on my finger, I can pet his toe with my thumb.
Awwww ❤️
My budgie died from a stroke and a stomach issue, the vet was closed yesterday and we were supposed to take her today...too late 😭
I’m so sorry, you did your best 💔 fly free 🌈

I am planning on getting two budgies that are brother and sister and I had no idea how to look after them until I found your channel! My bff takes advise from you because she has budgies and she is doing really well with them. I really love birds. I have never owned a bird before, so me getting budgies is really exiting. I am so great full that people (such as you) still want to help birds and make sure that people know how to treat them. I love your channel xx keep up the good work 😁🦜
For a newbie in having bird as a pet, this tutorial can help me know more about taking care or taming my bird.. thank you so much.❤️
oh, that's why my budgie stepped away from me, oh, thanks for teaching me
my lesson on how to gain a parrot's trust
I have 3 birds in total. 2 cockatiels and a budgie. My first cockatiel was from a pet store simply bcos I felt really bad at her condition being in a small cage. Star her name was very afraid in the beginning, but I had zero experienced with bird so I simply grabbed her and bit me really hard. She refuses to step on my finger and always stay away from me BUT she loves it whenever I sing Twinkle2x Little Star to her. Then, I got another cockatiel when he was 3 weeks old only I name him Sunny. I hand-feed him until he was ready to eat on his own, taught him how to fly. He is very attached to me and thinks I am his property and I can do everything with him. I call him my shadow and tail. Then my budgie Sky is my adopted, my friend found him in their garden but couldn't find an owner so he brought it to me. Sunny follows me around the house, do crazy things with me while the other 2 would watch from a far. I decided to stop pushing the other 2 bcos they simply are afraid of me. And my Sunny took lots of my attention. Everyday it's always like this Sunny always with me, eating with my cat, following me EVERYWHERE. Sitting on my head etc... then one day, Star the pet store scared cockatiel flew on my shoulder sit there and stared at me. I was shocked & froze. Since then she copied everything Sunny does with me EXCEPT sitting on my finger. She would come face to face with just as long I don't ask her to step-up. I respected that. She sits even on my hand just not my finger. Now, Sky the budgie realizes that he is on his own most of the time and so he decided to follow me too everywhere. Come very near me when I am sitting. I realized, I need to give time and in their own accord. So picture me now whenever I am home. There are 4 creatures following me around. 3 birds and a cat. Privacy inside the bathroom flew out of the window.
I loved reading this, wish you a lot of love😍❤
hey! I also have a pet store bird for the same reason lol... do you have any advice?? my birds are skittish and scared of new things
my bird is named Sunny too! awe
Ive been watching u for a while Finally someone who knows who they are talking about. I’ve learned so much from you thank you.
I just saw your Green Cheek Conure, it’s beautiful. I lost mine suddenly after 7 years just about 3 days ago. Put a smile on my face seeing your Green Cheek. 💕
i’ve been trying to build a bond with my budgie birds again the first two years they were very social like yours yet they stopped and i got very discouraged it took almost shamefully a few months but the past few weeks i’ve been able to bond with them again thanks to your help 💕
Honestly this helped so much. I got my first birds a few months ago, two budgies. I’ve been following what the person at the pet store told me and what I found online, and it kept spooking them and making them uncomfortable. Most sources I find tell me to force the bird, and it worked so I thought it was fine. But after I kept doing it my budgies seemed to dislike me.
Now one of them doesn’t like getting near me and the other can be kind of scared.
This really put a whole new way of it, and makes me feel a lot more comfortable with this. Before I felt like I was doing it wrong, but I guess the process was just a whole mess in itself.
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. I’ll be sure to check out more of your content, you really seem to know what you’re doing.
Thank you for all of your great hints. It is so very important to have a good start with a new, and most likely frightened bird!
i feel bad for watching this video after i scared my birb by sticking my hand in his cage.
:( but at now i know the correct way to train and bond with my birb thanks to u!

This definitely helped considering the fact I’m getting a conure this January.
So exciting!!
What type of conure?
How did the taming go?
Sooo??
Thank you soooooo much. I am planning on getting a bird. You are giving me the best advice I have ever seen. Keep up the good work
elle,you dont know how much u helped me, im gonna get a bird and NOT just because of your vids so im NOT impulse buying THANK U SO MUCH
Thank you so much for all the amazing tips ,, I have learned a lot from you!!! I just adopted a cockatiel!! We’re trying to train him carefully!! ,our old green cheek conure Is happy to have a new lovely friend 😊🤗
I have very little experience with birds. I grew up with cockatiels and parakeets but I never spent that much time with them. So I was shocked when, over the course of five months, the green cheek conure that was at the store I worked at gradually became bonded to me. It took patience, a lot of work and a bit of research, but I guess our personalities clicked enough that I was able to get her hand tame. She's now the first bird I've kept in years, and I could not be happier with my decision to have purchased her.
Her methods are gentle and non invasive! Love this!!
Thank you so much!! Letting the birds choose is the way to go 💜
This is an awesome video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I’ve had several pet birds in my life and had to learn some of this the hard way. Everything you’re saying is completely in line with the professional advice that I have read about bird care and building trust with your pet bird.
Thanks so much! I've had my lovebirds for a year now and they're so scared of my hands! But this made me not want to quit but keep training!
You’re a rockstar! Your info is refreshing, thorough & encouraging 😄Last few months, I’ve been researching pet birds to be sure it’s right for me (& the bird!). Sadly, I believe this vid is the first I’ve seen that says Do Not bump a bird’s chest to get him on the finger (!!!), & first time I’ve heard as to what that action does to the bird & why they step up 🥺
I actually tamed my super skittish cockatiel thanks to your advices. Now we’re best friends! She used to just walk further away from me when I got near the cage when I first got her and now she just starts jumping around and getting excited to go out and step up on my shoulder, hand or head when I get near to open the cage door.
Thank you so much Zelle! This video was perfect to help me gain confidence and success with taming and helping my budgie, Phoenix, to bond with me. My neighbor brought him to me just before Thanksgiving 2022 after a relative found him in the mouth of a (fortunately!) gentle neighbor dog. She knows nothing about birds and has two pet cats and a poodle at home. She heard from another neighbor who told her I keep finches and doves. I have been thinking about getting a small to medium sized parrot for a companion bird as the other species tend to be more less ornamental (hands off). My prayers were answered when she rang the doorbell with this little bird! I just got him to step up on my fingers with the training method described in this video!! Thanks again for great advice!! I subscribed to your channel, too!😊🙏🏻🦜
I am gonna get a new parrot and I'm watching literally all ur vids and getting infos! I watch just ur vids because u r the only one i think who explains their viewers slowly and in detail!

Thinking of getting a bird , found this video so helpful!
My bird is scared of me, even when I try to feed him
Did you get em from a flea market or sum
@@18274dj why does it matter?
@@leonaadjigogova717 cause if they got it from a bad place the bird might be scared or traumatized
@@18274dj oh, i got mines from one person which is breeding them , they are scared, but i think its because they are not tamed yet
i bought 2 birds yesterday did not eat for the whole day I had to feed him with my hand
today it eats itself
also i am 8
not all of this advice is totally accurate overall, but everything is 100% accurate for a new bird/bird owner.
My birds know when they are doing bad things and my birds have somewhat strict rules in exchange for far more freedom than most captive birds have. They're completely aware of it and in-tune with their environment and so i can in fact use negative reinforcement (not that it works - but it wont take away their trust in me).
Your birds are super well acclimated to you. Well done.
Ahhh this channel is perfect!! I just got a new bird yesterday for my birthday and I named him keiko, he’s only 6 months old and these tips are awesome!!! 😀
I love learning and watching change your videos who’s there so educational and just really good to listen to so you know what to do and what not to do with you Siri bird and I just love watching them
Btw I found ur channel on my recommendations page. Love the content ur videos r soooo helpful for me and my birds love me now thx for all the tips and tricks for bonding a bird to u. I have two birds and I honestly have to say that I've made the best choice of my life thank u for helping me and everyone else that u really care about animals and people who need help!❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you!! I’m so glad my videos are helpful ❤️ what kind of birds do you have?
Very good tips I have had budgies for nearly 30 years now (different ones of course) everything you said is absolutely correct. Especially the chasing them around as the last thing you want is them to see you as a predator.
subscribed and liked! i really love how u explain because me as a starter learnt a lot from this video unlike the others, they don’t explain well! 💘
I’m getting a new bird from a breeder soon. I’ve gotten a bird from them before and I like the way they pre train them a bit before i purchase them. IM SO EXCITED. I’m gonna get the baby cockiness in a few weeks. He is a baby still.

I taught my bird how to shake my finger with his leg to do a little hand shake, should I stop or continue?
Edit: it’s a rainbow lorikeet
DO IT and it will be cool so he/she do it with other people
No you should not stop if he does not like it then don’t do it but if he is comfortable doing it then keep doing it because bird are like humans is we don’t do something for a long time we forget how to do it and we won’t remember so keep doing it if your bird is comfortable!😊
Outstanding. Good explanation of permission based, non coercive training. I think basic behavioral training is the most important thing you can do for the long term success of your relationship: Step up/step down, station/recall and target training.
I totally agree!!
Awesome very intuitive you speak clearly and loud you know what you're talking about I am very appreciative of you and your efforts your videos are very good thanks and keep up a good work.
I have had birds for 30 years. I had to learn alot of this the hard way. This video was excellent. Liked and subscribed

I might be getting a budgie, I bet this will help! Also your birds are so cute 💕
My Cockateil was so scared and I taught him to step up in 3 days. Still does not want to be petted. Thank you so much! Really helped!
This video will help me alot since I wanna get Green Cheek Conure soon. I will definitely revisit your channel for more tips.
Amazing video, and it really need time to Tame a bird im taming mine for about 2 months
I have two budgies, Flash and Blueberry. Blueberry came to us with a deformed beak and scalemites. (Spoiler alert, he came from petsmart.) the store said he'd live a month because of his condition. He celebrated his fourth bday a bit ago, and now is living the dream. He's got a massive cage, his own toy box, (it lives under the birdcage), lots of attention, and although he isn't very hand trained, (he'll sit on your arm and shoulder) he is a wonderful boy with a very happy life.
Thanks to you I got my baby teil to learn how to step up 4 days after bringing him home. He's so happy when with me. Thank you so much for all of your help 😍😍😍❤️
Thats great! Hows it going now?
This is the kind of information I need to bond with my African grey. You bet I’m gonna be coming back your channel , specially this video
I was doing it all the way wrong
Thanks for making this video! 💕
When I was going to learn my bird to step up on my finger, I used hours and hours at first to gain his trust. Like just sitting by his cage and getting him to know me. Then I took a millet and tried to get him to eat it, then after lots of eating and getting him to know my hand, I like just slightly (not hard) pushed the millet on his stomach, and he stepped up! He was not tame at all and it took about 4-5 days I think. So basically you just have to be patient! I am still working on him to get him tame.
HELLO!! I am a huge fan. I’m getting a budgie soon. I’m super exited, love the flock.
Good and informative video - very well done 👏😀👍🦜
Another useful video, thanks 😊
Thank you! 😊
Thank you so much this is an amazing video! my three birds are rescues and are not hand tamed but they are very friendly with me and they come out of the cage to play everyday they love treats and play time. the only one who's pretty social is LittleBird (she will step up and let you pet her) But SweetPea is shy and Pikachu my cockatiel is terrified of everything(he will step up but he hates it and doesn't like to be touched) but it's getting better 🖤
Yay! So glad you’re making progress with your birds ❤️ love rescues
Very Nice video! I 100% support the information. You are very talented!
I had your channel recommended to me by my parents because of how good you are with them and the fact that you actually know what you’re talking about and I am so glad they have because this has definitely helped a bit with helping my bird become more comfortable around me!
Yayy congrats!
Live Laugh Birds thank you!😊
Live Laugh Birds hi, I just have a quick question, my budgie was comfortable around me sat on my finger and let me pet him and I’ve had to get him still (I have been gentle with him) to bathe his eye so that he can hopefully open his eye fully and all of a sudden he won’t let me stroke him and only goes on my finger when I’m getting him out of the cage (he’s used to hands in his cage because his parents became hostile towards him and his brother and one of them had to be tamed straight away) do you have any ideas why he suddenly won’t go near me?
@@katieneal2212 try using millit like she said
Omg my bird isn't afraid of me anymore thanks for everything Elle
Whats funny is that my bird will NOT leave the cage without me having to put my hand in there for him to step up and then bring him out of the cage myself.
A mi agaporni le pasa igual
Bruh my bird is a crackhead hes aight with me coming close to his cage or putting my hand on the cage but as soon as i go to open the door he goes full on sico mode and if i leav the room for a bit he yells and hits his beak on the cage
Birds will get excited when they first get out of the cage, and a lot of birds will flock call if their owner leaves the room
@JestesGruby When did you get your bird? If you just got it it just needs some more time to get used to you

I've been trying to calm down my Meyer's Parrot for nearly 8 years and nothing is working. He is not food motivated at all either. I am going to keep watching your videos, you seem like you really know what you're doing, thank you!
Honestly, I have pretty tame birds 😇 But, I think Edward is the only semi-tame bird I ever had. Oddly enough, my VERY tame birds have actually bit me but Edward NEVER has in the past 3 years. Every bird is different. Edward never liked being touched. It was a heartbreaking conclusion that I had to realize that he just was never going to be tame. He just pants so much. He literally looks a few steps from a heart attack. I was only able to give him head scratches just twice in his life time. Just recently, our vet said he has a heart condition and he has a very irregular heart beat. She suggested that some birds, no matter how hard you try, just won't be as tame and actually suggested that getting Edward panting so hard might not be in his favor. I guess I realize to accept his boundaries. You're really close to 1 thousand followers! I hope you get there soon! 😊🤗😊🤗😊🤗😊🤗
Aww poor Edward. My budgies are tame but they don’t like head scratches either. I think it’s a common budgie thing that they’re just not cuddly birds. Thank you so much! :)

Excellent information Elle, thank you for sharing it. 🌹🕊
I have a untamed cockatiel and I've been trying with so long to tame him cause where he last lived he didn't get attention in anyway so I'm so happy I found this video thanks
i use Targeting and the reward system (jockpots and such). Its so triggering watching my family try to have my birds step up, I want to die inside but hey my birds like the free rewards. I personally feel (from my experience parrot training) Targeting is the first thing you should ever teach. I have been feeding my bird medicine so I have lost some trust with my munchkins because....I didn't syringe train them.....so towel it was!!!! hehe Im evil I know but if it helps them feel better then so be it, they can hate me all they want. Planning on starting my own channel sooner or later and training it really hard to explain fully...I use piont systems so I always have graphs and charts analising my birds health so I need to work according to those statistics....I used to train people parrots as a part time job and I dont anymore, becasue something really sad happened and it started to affect me and....unfortunately effected my birds in the process.
Targeting is very important! My birds aren’t syringe trained either, I’ve tried and as soon as the medicine comes out they’re done. Luckily when they had infections they didn’t lose trust. I’m so excited you’re starting a channel!! Wow I would like to train other peoples’ parrots, I used to go to my local pet store every week when I was younger to train all their birds, but now I don’t support that store. Awe I hope everything’s ok..
yeah Jewel my oldest budgie is a plucker its been really hard getting her into the vet to get some bloodwork done (concidering her vein is the size of the tip on the neddle)
I don't really support bird stores in general...lol I'll be fine...
In the words of the internet:
"well slap my a** and call me 1933 because I am a great depression! :p"
Aww Jewel 💚 hope everything will turn out good with her. Can’t wait for the channel!!
What is the jockpot system my birds already are efficient in target
I accidentally trained my bird to come to me when he needed food, so it’s like my personal reminder! Damn I miss him 😭
HOWSJWJJSJS
I’m learning and I wanna learn for my birds
Did he die?:(
Thanks you for sharing! This will help me out with my parrots! Because they NEVER come close to me :( but I’ll try to learn from this video! Thanks again for posting this video!
Amazing video. We are going to try these steps to see how it works with our two Parakeets. We have them in a large cage together and hope these tips will help. Thank you so much for sharing.
Did it work?
