Where can I get finger bikes?

How to get my bird to stay on my finger?

  • I got a 2 year old tame indian ringneck parakeet a month ago and i taught it to eat from my hands, go on my finger (sometimes it comes to my finger) but it always flies off my finger after a minute or less. How do i get it to stay on my finger and to always go to my finger. Its also very nervous when its on my finger. I just recently got it to let me touch it on the head (only when its on my finger). I also started to give it treats whenever its on my finger but now if its not hungry it wont go on my finger:(

put some peanut butter on your finger:). just not to much though :P

I think you should order a bird clicker from Dr. Foster & SMith. This makes it easy to praise your bird for the good deeds that he does. And constantly tell the bird to stay. If he flies off, get him and put him back and say, "STAY". After enough consistent sessions he will get the point.

PATIENCE!!! IF your bird can remain on your fingure and not be scared, it probally flys away because ot saw something else more interesting. All you have to do is make your fingure fun. meaning you can preen it, feed it or play with it in order to keep their attention on you, not something else. hope this helps!

Hi, Place some bird food on your finger. Joe
