I think my birds hate me

they are so scared everytime i walk passed the cage.
i have 3 parakeets and they wont let me touch or really hold them it makes me sad.

 

Hi this is normal behaviour it does not mean they do not like you.
Since there is 3 of them they depend on each other and interact better with each other than they do with you.
If there had only been 1 bird it would have been easier to hand tame but since you have 3 it will take time and patience..

I dont know since i try to hold one and he screams like i am trying to kill him and the others will freak out ...the only time they like me is when they shower with me. :roll:

 

u gotta take your time... it's a long slow process...

start by slowly placing your hand in the cage, and just keep it there, (not moving). if this freaks them out to bad, go back a step and hold your hand near the cage outside.. then proceed to step 2 when they are ok with it.

When they are ok with the hand being in the cage and not moving, start to slowly move it around, and watch them. talk to them gently.. see if there are any treats they like and for the third step after they tollerate the hand moving in there ok, try offering the treat to them...

then from there, try to lure them onto your hand with the treat...

it really is easier to train them when they are alone...coz if one is nervous it will effect them all...

good luck tho...
