need some advice :)

[nightwish]

my mom bought two birds (parakeets) in real life about a week or so ago , and i got so excited, because we also bought a cage for them, and bought some cool little toys for them to play with. but whenever i stick my hand in the cage, and just try to pet them, they either go mad and start flying around the cage or bite my finger( which hurts allot, especially the female birds bite!) i know they must be scared, because we haven't known each other for long, and plus, to them im like a giant, so of coursed they'd be scared, i would be too. but is there a way to show them that i dont mean any harm? im trying my best to do so but its not working

I've always wanted a bird, especially a parrot. Well, the best advice I could give you is time and comfort. You should start by spending alot of time with your parakeets and getting more comfortable with them. Especially be gentle and patient with them. I also advise to not make sudden movements/actions and be quiet so that they are not frightened of you. Like I said, just spend alot of time around them and act like you mean no harm. Dont get discouraged if it takes longer than you think. My uncle used to have a myna bird and I never got to be friends with it... It always said random gibberish. "Hungry! Hi! Hungry! Yes! Okeyyy!" It was wierd.

Extreme's right, spend time around the bird. Let them know that you mean no harm. Also, feed them yourself! Feeding time must be the same all throughout so they will remember you when feeding time comes. Also, do not make sudden movements around them. Just look at them and do not put your hand inside the cage. Maybe after a year, you can, . Just watch them do their bird stuff.

Not completely sure if this was a joke...
My friend said a good way to tame your pets is to spit in their mouth...

If someone spit in your mouth, wouldn't you remember them?
