Handling/Training of our Parakeets for sale

Taming and training parakeets is pretty easy. Parakeets become accustom to their new environment fairly rapidly. Repetition, patience and time are the keys to successful parakeet training!

Taming Basics
Even though parakeets quickly adapt to their enviroment, you should give a new arrival a few days to get use to you, your voice and its cage before trying to handle it. To be able to handle and train your parakeet depends first on trust, so go slowly and be consistent.
Remember that taming and training a bird takes patience, never ‘punish’ your parakeet! This only serves to destroy the trust you’ve spent so much time building.

Initial Training

Speak softly to the bird to calm it and always move slowly. Start from the floor and approach the bird from the side rather than head on. With a treat held between two fingers, coax it onto your hand. It may try to fly and you may have to repeat this several times. Once your parakeet steps on your hand, you then start having it step up from one hand to the other.
If necessary, you can repeat the hand-taming lessons several times a day but for short periods of time, about 20 minutes a session. Depending on the tameness of the bird, these two steps can be instantaneous as in a hand fed baby. Or it can take several weeks or longer for an untamed bird.

Advanced Training
Repetition and frequency are the keys here. Almost every parakeet can learn at least a few words, although they are not generally as vocal as African Greys or the Amazons.

Temperament

Budgies are gentle and docile birds. They are also very easy to tame, especially if acquired at a young age. Pairs of birds make good company for each other, but when in living pairs and entertaining one another, they may not bond as well with their owners or mimic speech as fluently. Budgies are also very playful, active, and quieter than some other types of parrots.

Maintenance:
The basic cage care includes daily cleaning of the water and food dishes.

Habitat
Make your parakeet’s habitat as large as possible. The minimum size of habitat for one parakeet is 18″ W x 18″ D x 18″ H, with metal bars spaced no more than 1/2″ apart.

Making your habitat

Make sure there are no habitat parts or toys that contain lead, zinc, or other potentially toxic heavy metals, as well as lead-based paints or galvanized parts, as these can cause serious medical problems if birds ingest them.

Habitat Liner : A metal grate over the habitat bottom keeps droppings fall away from your bird’s feet and keep the habitat cleaner; line the tray in the habitat bottom with habitat paper or other paper-based products to ease cleanup and minimize dust.
