Teaching your pet parakeet to perch on your finger is easier than you think. Here is a step by step method to teach your pet parakeet on how to do this. You will enjoy keeping a parakeet even more if it is able to finger perch. Firstly, extend your index finger out with your thumb pointing upwards. Your index finger will act as a perch for your parakeet.
Speak to your parakeet in a calm manner while you slowly put your hand inside its cage gently. Rest your hand in the cage and remove it after a minute or two. This is to win your parakeet's trust and confidence.
Find a short perch that is easy to move about and move it slowly towards the parakeet until it touches the bird's lower abdomen or leg area. Maintain a gentle but constant pressure until the bird steps onto the perch. Hold the perch firmly and move it to another fixed perch in the cage for the parakeet to step off.
Use the same small perch but now lay your index finger lengthwise over the top of this perch. The parakeet thinks it is stepping onto the perch, but is actually stepping onto your finger. Use your finger and slowly move it towards your parakeet and gently press against its legs as you did with the perch exercise. By this time, your parakeet should be willing to step up onto your finger. Hold your hand very still at first, and then move it to a perch for the parakeet to dismount.
Practice this technique with your finger even outside of the cage. Gently withdraw your hand from the cage, allowing the parakeet to perch on your finger. Move to another area away from the cage and let your parakeet stay perched on your finger for a few minutes. With constant practice, your parakeet will mount on your finger without any fear.
