My paranets don't want me to let them out of their cage inside but I said that they have to.If I do,how many times a week?
Answers:
Yes it's true that you have to let them out once in a while.But the minimum that you have to let them out is 2 days per week.
I let my parakeets out 6 times a week.They have lots of fun flying around our house.
Good Luck:)
Be careful in allowing your birds out of their cage. If they are not accustomed to flying they will fly into things and harm themselves. You can have their wings clipped. This does not harm them.
I do allow mine out and their wings have grown back but they have learned to navigate very nicely. They love to fly.
I let mine out once per day. I have four parakeets and two doves.
If you just leave their door open for awhile and walk away (stay in the same room of course) they may come out on their own. Please don't leave the room when they are out. Be patient, they may be timid at first and it may take some time for them to come out. Be consistent and do this at the same time every day so it becomes routine to them.
Also be sure there is nothing they can harm themselves on such as a hot stove. Toilet seats should also be down so that they don't fall in and drown. You need to use caution with this.
Enjoy your parakeets, they are fun. Good luck!
you should so they don't bite!! mabey three times a week!
all birds need out of cage time. They need at least 4 hours a day. You also need to spend time with them out of their cage, training and playing with them.
Birds are not like hamsters and ginea pigs, they need to be out of their cage on a daily basis and interaction with their "flock".
Your bird should have at least two perches in the cage with at least three different toys. the cage should also be big enough for your bird to spread it's wings and not touch any sides. The wings should also be clipped as well as nails trimmed on a regular basis.
If these requirements aren't something you can't do then you need to find a new owner for your bird(s).
Yes,you should let them out on a daily basis for a period of time.
you don't have to, but you definitely should.
well i don't think you have to let them out. its up to you.
i used to have two of them and i would never let them just have run of the house, but i would handle them daily. if you get their wings clipped they cannot fly ask much. its more like a jump with the flap of the wings. maybe your parents wouldn't mind it as much if they couldn't actually fly around the house. and its alot safer for the bird if they are clipped.
My mom has 4 parakeets and the cage is always open from 5:30 am until around 10 pm at night everyday and they are free to roam. They go in and out of the cage on there own and perch on things and get into things! So just make sure there is nothing that is poisonous like plants or something that they can eat, because they will try to eat it!
are they tame? can you get them back in the cage without having to net them?
you don't have any cats or dogs or small children that could harm them in the house right?
keep i n mind that when you let them out for the first time that they could start flying into the walls because they have not established a safe place to land yet.
i used to have my 15 finches free flying in the house, what a mess lol but they absolutely loved it! my husband built them many things that we hung on the wall or from the ceiling that they could land on, with a wide variety of perches to excercise their feet. wonderful excercise for them, although we had to live with the fear that thye could get out the door whenever we came home or left. they are now ina pretty big cage, but they hate it as they are used to having the run of the house, but boy, did it make it hard to clean up or let alone cook!
they would land on my salad bowl when i was making it, would eat it with me as well lol, too cute. but anytime we used the stove or oven, had to have hubby there to guard it while i tried to cook. luckily we never lost one out the door and had no cooking accidents.
good luck to you and your keets :)
EDIT*
if your parents are really adament about not letting them out of the cage, then maybe you could save up your $$ and but them a bigger cage.
also have a wide variety of toys and stuff to chew on for them, appropriate for parakeets.
and like they person one up from me said, make sure there are no poisonous plants or any other hazards, like fish tanks with out lids that they can get into
Is this a serious question? Were these birds purchased as ornatmental birds or as pets?
Is it your parents responsibility to take care of animals and properly have the wings clipped so that they birds do not fly all over the house and put their fecal matter everywhere they can. It also allows you to keep the birds where you want them and control where they are, just like keeping a child in a play pen. It keeps them from harm, like a ceiling fan, flying into windows, and chewing on window sills and toxic plants.
I automatically asumed that when your parents bought the birds that this is what they signed on for!! Of course birds should be out of their cage, just like your parents like to be out of their house, and have a life, so should your birds. On a daily basis.
Look at it this way, how would you like to be locked up in a cage 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, not fun eh? The birds like it even less. But they are relying on humans for their care. They didn't ask to be brought into your home. Do the right thing and at least allow them out of their cage.
Take them into the bathroom and allow them out of their cage at least once a day. They will tire out quickly and then replace them back in their cage.
Good Luck!
Every day. Let them play around on top of the cage. Thats what my keets do. They love the cage so they only fly a few feet from the cage. Yep my parents hate it when they are out as well,but oh well it's the keet that matters right?
depends on the size of the cage and the number of birds. parakeets are very active birds if the cage is long enough and large enough for them to move freely you don't have to let them out never put any more than 2 birds per cage
You need to make sure they get out atleast 1 hour aday. Now i know no one will do this to a T but try your best! And you are right they MUST get out alot. Just clip their wings and put a towel down. They also sell these big cage liners, you can put them on the floor and throw them away. Their made by Hartz. i got them in my local Genuardis Store.
Hope this helps,

Yes, it is very important that you let your bird out of it's cage so he/she can become used to your touch and voice.
It is also very important that in whichever room you plan to let them out in, make sure all windows and doors are closed so you can keep a watchful eye on your bird.
Make sure that you have no items that they can get hurt with. Parakeets are curious little creatures, and they will be attracted to anything that sparks their minds.
