Keeping Parakeets. Part II

Make an effort to interact with your birds on a daily basis for at least 30-90 minutes. Without giving frequent and sufficient attention, they will lose interest in human communication. A pair will tend to bond with each other (regardless of sex) and pay no attention to human beings, yet through interaction, you can be thought of as a member of the flock. A way to interact with your bird is to sing with each other, give it baths and if it appears to be rapidly dropping a mobile toy, pick it up as there is a chance it wants to play a game with you. Allow your parakeet to exercise. Think about how your bird(s) can get regular exercise. Many people assume they're able to simply leave the birds in a small cage right through the day, where the birds, which in the wild fly and get plenty of exercise, otherwise become overweight and acquire fat associated disorders. If trimmed, just have a reasonably large cage with good quality toys and provide the bird some play time out of its cage each day. Manual exercise can be achieved by a sensitive throw or holding it within your hand and sensitive dragging down until finally it appears to be tired, shown by heavy breathing. Be conscientious. Parakeets are a lot of work nevertheless; you will find that they can be a loving and funny companion. Most will talk and just how much they learn is really up to you. Expect to perform some daily care, as well as providing attention and enough time to communicate and have fun with your birds, or think about getting another interest. Talk to it. Sometimes Parakeets get lonely. A good way to get them content again is to talk to them. Also, to get them to climb up on your finger is usually to push slightly on their stomach, and say "Step Up." By continuously saying that, they will begin to say it on their own, and will "Step Up" every time they say it upon reaching the steps.
