Training My Parakeets
Hi everyone! I got inspired by my mom telling me about someone she knows with birds. It made me want to take care of and train my parakeets more. So I researched some things and made this plan:
I want to clean the cage often
I will buy them new toys for Christmas
I will learn to clip their wings myself
Once they are hand trained totally, I will buy a big play gym on wheels so they can play out of their cage.
I will do each of these steps in the morning for at least a week until they don't run away when I do them. Across from them is something that I should do from the above list around the same time.
1. Stand by the cage Clean cage
2. Have my hand up near the cage, maybe with food Toys for Christmas
3. Hand on the cage
4. Hand in the cage
5. Hand in front of them
6. Have them step on my hand and stay Clip wings
7. Move my hand with them on it
8. Bring hand out of cage Buy play gym
Here's the play gym-

It's big and has wheels. It has food cups and perches and ladders and places to hang toys. It costs $77.08. That will be hard to save up for, but I can do it. It might take more than 8 weeks, but training them will probably take longer than that anyway.
A little bit of my money I earn from my business selling crafts at the Nauvoo Marketplace will go towards buying toys and the play gym for my parakeets.
Also, email me at rebeccashandmadeart@gmail.com to order a custom paper quilled necklace.
I'm really hoping I can train them. I've tried other times, but I just forget. But I'm motivated by the play gym and the fact that I wrote this post. People will know that I'm training my parakeets.
