hello i am new to the world of birds and parakeets and have adopted two that have stolen my heart they were not handled much so i have to work with them on getting them to trust me so far after 3 days they are letting me stick my hand in their cage as long as i don't reach for them they are fine any way i love all types of animals and have always wanted some parakeets but since my mom was scared of them due to a past incident in her childhood regarding birds it was not allowed so now my hubby and i have two and love them very much.
