Pet's info: Bird | Parakeet | Female
How can I help my parakeets get closer to me? They seem to be afraid of me as they fly away when I get to their cage. How can I help the bird be more comfortable with me?

Time and patience are key to helping your parakeets get used to you, and each individual bird may bond differently to you due to their individual personalities. If your birds have a favorite treat, you can also use that by giving it to them every time you visit their cage or interact. I'm also including an in-depth article on teaching your bird to step up which can help with the bonding process as well: https://www.petcoach.co/article/basic-bird-training-how-to-train-your-bird-to-step-up/
