Awww, so the poor little birdies had to go to the white coats? Popcorn and Muffin HATE that!

Just because they draw blood now, doesn't mean you can't tame them. Believe it or not, both Popcorn and Muffin have bit me hard enough to draw blood several times when I first got them. Now its like they don't even *know* how to bite. Of course they do *know* how.......they just don't want to hurt us anymore. Even if I shove my finger in their mouths, they still won't bite me. Biting birds DO get tamed easily. Birds bite for two reasons........either to protect themselves from something that frightens them, or, to show dominance. In your case, I do believe the parakeets must still be frightened. Keep working with them. I'm sure they'll become nice and tame birdies soon. If not, just send me a ticket, and I'll tame them within 2 days, guaranteed. I have tamed at least 10 parakeets for friends, parakeets that bit HARD, and when I returned the birds to them, they couldn't believe they were the same birds. Just spend time with them, and work with them everyday.

Good luck!
