What fun things can you do with a parakeet?

To teach your parrot to play dead, start to slowly encourage your bird to step up onto your finger with either the left or the right leg (not both). Then, move your finger up and over the parrot, guiding it into a laid-down position. Use a verbal command as you do and offer a treat afterward.

Do parakeets like to be held?

Tame parakeets love nothing more than being held, talked to, and shown affection. That is if they held appropriately and they fully trust the individual holding them. It does take time to build a bond with a parakeet and holding is not something new owners can expect right away.

How do I know if my parakeet is bored?

If they are being destructive to things they're not supposed to, it's a strong indicator that they are bored. Offering treats, interacting with them, teaching them tricks and offering them new bird toys will help solve this behaviour.

Can parakeets eat banana?

Budgies can eat banana, strawberries, apples, grapes, oranges, peaches, blueberry, pear, raisins, mango, melon (all varieties), nectarines, cherries (ensure you've removed the stone) and kiwis. Tropical fruits are also a favourite.
