How long does it take for 2 parakeets to bond with me (owner)?


Answer:

Hi Lori,

If these birds are in a cage together, they are going to bond with each other. They will learn to accept you, but are not likely to want you to handle or interact with them. If they are in separate cages, you need to work with them separately. A lot depends on their age – the older they get, the longer it takes to tame them.
