Its important to take your birds out of the cage and handle them to get them to trust you. You will need to have their wings clipped before you start taming them. You will need to take them out, hold them gently, talk to them gently, and then return them to their cage everyday to help them gain confidence in you. Parakeets are relatively easy to tame compared to other birds, and I have actually tamed some of them in just a few hours (they were very young though). Also, after holding and talking to your birds gently, put them on the ground and let them explor their surroundings to get used to you and being out of their cage. If they bite you may want to use a glove or small towel to hold them. If they seem to be stressed out, put them back immediately. They will learn with time. One thing is DO NOT hold them tightly. Be very gentle, and hold them gently so that they cannot suffocate, but also firm enough so that they cannot squeeze out of your hand. Parakeets are very tiny so its hard to get a good grip of them. LOL! Good luck and keep us updated!
