I have a Parakeet, but he doesn't talk either.
He is only 8 months old. I have had him since he was around a month and a half old.
He loves for you to sit and talk to him, hand feed him millet, etc...
For some reason he has picked up a habit where he likes to "snap/bite" your hand when you first go to touch him. He doesn't bite hard at all, and he actually acts like he is playing with you like he does his toys.
He loves to sit on your finger/hand, but he doesn't like to come out of his cage. I can actually leave the door open and he want come out. He will go to the door and look out, but never goes out of the cage.
Whats the best way to get him to where he will quit trying to bite me (or play bite me whatever it is), and for him to become more comfortable coming out of his cage?
