Seperate my parakeets?
I have two parakeets. The male used to like me and they used to hop on my hand to eat. Now they flip out if I get near them..I have had them for a couple months now...but they refuse to bond with me. THey only bond with each other. I want to seperate them so I can bond with them and train them....but I will feel bad if they aren't together....should I seperate them?

I have had many parakeets for a really long time and need some details. So you have a male and a female? Did you use to have the male and bonded with him before you put in the female? Because if that's so, then that has happened to me where the birds start bonding with each other instead and basically stop being friendly towards the owner. I'm not sure why. You could try separating them for a little while and see how he reacts to you. And while they are separated, you could try to bond with the female too? And when you put them together, maybe you can feed them both at the same time. When birds are hungry, even if they are ones that aren't tamed and are scared of people, they will usually eat from your hand anyway. Not saying to starve your birds but for one meal maybe just put less food out in the food box and then slowly stick your hand full of food inside the cage. I think if you want to train them, you will have to separate them. = I know it is sad, but after they are tame, you can put them back together.

If you want them to be friendly towards you then you will have to separate them. Since they have already bonded, it may not matter though. I's sure
give it a try for a while to see what happens.
