I have had my little Budgie since Feb 2010. She's a little diva. Although she's still afraid of everything that moves even me, I love her to death. I already removed the roof top of her cage and she has explored a few times flying around. They say it takes time for them to trust you...but I have a feeling mine is going to be a bit harder to gain trust if ever. They say use spray millet to train or entice but mine hates it wont touch it. :( I still love her though.

I have had so many of these birds. They are not rare, I find them on the streets for free. Anyway, every morning they screech and screech at 5 am and are very annoying pets. I would not reccomend them.

I have had parakeets before from petsmart, but I was too young to know how to treat them properly. So when I got them this time I thought they were going to be extremely hard to train, but 1 day after I brought mine home he lets me stroke his feathers, feed him, and is ok with my "scary" hand now. They have a beautiful assortment over there too. I have a yellow one named Charlie and he also responds to his name!! I love them, and on Friday I'm going to get him a little companion! :D *He only started eating when he saw my sister's bird so DEFINITELY get 2!!!! LOVE THEM!!

My boyfriend and I decided to adopt a Parakeet. I researched and found out that they would be perfect. We bought our first Rags and by the weekend we planned on getting another one called Ollie he’s a fancy Parakeet. They both are very sweet & only a little shy, Rags had been already setting on my finger by the time we brought Ollie home and he’s a little jealous of my attention towards Ollie. My babies are very healthy, friendly & I am quite confident that I will be able to tame both of them and have takers to boot. Ollie is a curious little guy and listens very intently to everything I say. I suspect he’ll start talking first. I know they say if they’re together they’ll never want to learn but I think these two want me around and I notice they seem to miss me when I am gone. Rags does that’s for sure, Ollie is a little shy at the moment but he’s let me touch him a few times
It was adorable they were sitting together on their perch and I went to lift Rags onto my finger he loves that but decided to try Ollie first. So Ollie put one foot on my finger and the other one he hung onto Rags… I wish someone took that pic it was a sight to see.

I would recommend getting a Parakeet from Petsmart They’re obviously doing something right. My guys are wonderful. They are clean, they never make a mess and that is awesome!

Okay, this is my first parakeet and I love her. Me and my boyfriend were just looking at birds and I saw her, she has a heart on the back of her head, and I knew I wanted her. He let me get her. She is really sweet, just a little bit snippy when you try to put her back in her cage.

I purchased a rare parakeet about a month ago. Prior to this purchase, I had 2 parakeets, one we got when she was a baby, whom I absolutley loved. She trained so easily and spoke, kissed and even made the sound of blowing your nose. The other I adopted at a later date, from ASPCA and she was just nasty. Problem - Baby layed way too many eggs and the other bird, Angel, also started laying eggs after having her many years. Baby died at about 7 due to egg binding and Angel I had for 10 years (and she was adult when I got her). I thought I'd enjoy a bird again so off I went and purchased "Spice" who is a female and young. She also freaks out when you do anything near her. Being I have the experience from past, this wouldn't be a problem. She stepped up ONCE and when I let her out of the cage, it took all day and an additional person to catch her. She wouldn't go to her cage for anything. I talk to her every day - repeating the same thing and nothing. She barely has the parakeet fits of screeching. She'll hear the birds outside and start but not in front of anyone. I'll keep trying but it seems like I may be forced to purchase a friend for her. Maybe that'll bring her around.

These birds are so beautiful and lovable, that I have 2 already! They are easy to train as well. Not as messy eaters as the green Parakeet. The only thing is that they get stressed very easily, and they're bite hurts! I love mine, but I do not recommend them for kids under 8.

Angel, my rare parakeet is an absolute angel! She is yellow and has a green tummy. In the light, she looks whitish. She is so sweet! She will nip at my hand and will sing in the morning and play around and just be a total goof!

Absolutely love my Sky she was actually the only parakeets I saw and wanted so when some lady came over to look at parakeets I pointed to it and kept doing it until she found a different one. I got her two days ago and she is so sweet I pet her and she got on my finger during the first day but her wings aren't clipped so if she flies around my room I got to wait till it lands and then scoop him up but the collier thing is she loves music so when I leave I put music on till I come back. One of these days I will walk in to hear "Here Comes the Sun" She is also a Beatles fan

I just got two parakeets on my birthday and they are very adorable and smart! Yes you have to be patient with them because they get very shy and timid to their new homes. After about 5 days they start getting used to you and become very playful. I recomend these birds to anyone. They are very cute and they love to play and have fun. I hope you have tons of fun with your new buddies!

Just yesterday I bought 2 parakeets (both girls)named sunshine & sugar.Great pets (although they are very social animals and you should have 2 of them)The poor lady had to try a million times to catch them while another one flew out of the cage!I love my parakeets and I hope you will love yours just as much!
