When can I let my new parakeet out of its cage after taming?

Question

How many days to tame my young parakeet and let him out of his cage? Because, I'm worried he will get sick or bored if I leave him in his cage alone. I got my parakeet 4 days ago. Pet's info: Bird | Unknown - Bird | Female | 1 month and 23 days old | 0.0881849 lbs

In order for your bird to trust you you will need to work with him daily. If you are worried that he may fly away when you let him out of the cage you can clip his wings so he will not be able to fly. This is a completely painless procedure and the feathers will grow back if you decide at a later date to allow him to fly. This way you can let him out of the cage to explore but won’t have to worry about him getting away. The more interaction you have with the bird the better. Offer him treats while you are working with him so he can start building some trust in you. I would assume that after a month or so of repeated interactions you bird will be much more comfortable with you. I hope this helps. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
