My husband and I took in a parakeet and he seems to love being held and he will sit on my shoulder for a few hours. But when we try to get him out of the cage he always wants to bite us. He is great outside of the cage but once he is in the cage he is completly different. Is there any way to teach him to act nicer and not to bite?
I open my cage in the morning and he come out when he is ready but he doesn't want to. I want him to be able to fly freely. My husband can get him but Im afraid to do it. I will sit my hand in the cage for 15 minutes or longer and he still wants to bite me. My husband can stick his in and get him within a minute. He tries to bite him to. My husband is a little bit more braver than me.
