Notice whether your bird cuddles with you. Cuddling is a clear indicator that your parakeet likes you and wants to bond with you.

How long does it take for parakeets to get used to you?

It’s more common for a pair of male parakeets to kiss than for a pair of female parakeets to kiss. Females are more aggressive than males, especially toward other females.

Where do birds like to be touched?

They LOVE to be stroked on the top of the head just above the beak and between the eyes (once they trust you), up and under the chin (a big favorite), and on the chest (a great first place to start that isn’t as threatening to them by a stranger). All of these areas are downy type areas that are not heavily feathered.

How do you tell if a parakeet is sick?

One telltale sign of a sick parrot is wet droppings. Granted, a parrot’s fecal matter naturally has some liquid in it, but this doesn’t mean it should be runny.

How do I teach my parakeet to do tricks?

Another trick that you can teach your bird is to ride a skateboard and push it with one leg. Put your bird beside the skateboard with one foot on the floor and one foot on the board. Then gently guide your budgie to the skateboard using your hand. Do this for two minutes a day until your parakeet gets used to the trick.

Can my parakeet make me sick?
