Parakeet Hand training – This is really the place to start when it comes to training your parakeet! To start off with you will want to have a young parakeet that has been raised by hand; these birds are less timid and less afraid of human contact to begin with. Patience is the biggest factor for hand training, during the first training sessions you have to be willing to sit still for long periods of time and avoid any big movements. Mistakes on your part or if your bird gets spooked will send your training backwards meaning you have to devote more time to your parakeet.

Start by trying to get your parakeet to hop onto your finger and before you know it your parakeet will be hand trained. For a more in depth view on hand training check out our Parakeet Hand Training page.

Parakeet talking training – When people think of domesticated birds they generally think of them as talking animals! If you are one of these people then you are in luck because parakeets can be big talkers! Assuming your parakeet can (or wants to) talk then Repetition is the key to success. Start off with an easy word such as “hello” and keep on repeating it to your parakeet. Keep things simple and start with one or 2 words and before you know it your feathered friend will have a vast repertoire of words.
