my parrekeets will stand on my finger but while there on my finger they won't let me pet them

Answers:

parrakeet's are a lot like humans they like being near you but don't like being touched

---

ummm.kinda i guess..maybe it just doesnt like being touched.

---

no i don't think it's weird.my parrekeets would do the same thing..if they get mad and puff out their chests, then i know 2 leave them alone.

---

they probably won't let you pet them while they are not on your finger either. most small birds don't like to be pet on the head. they are happy sitting on you and talking with you and hearing your voice.

---

Do they let you pet them when sitting on a perch? Birds often don't like ot be touched in certain spots, or they may just be feeling playful.

---

not to weird, I had a dog that refused to come near me except to eat.

---

Perhaps they fear you might put them down, or worse yet put them back in their cage.

---

be patient, eventually they will let you pet them

just keep trying and be gentle

---

I dont think its weird. Can you pet them if they are not on your finger? Well when you pet such a small bird you toss it's equalibrium off some and that makes a bird very nervous.

---

no thats not weird at all. some birds like to be touched and some dont.

---

'cuz u might scare it and it will go insane. its definitely NOT your fault AT ALL. so don't worry about it.

---

some birds dont like to be touched but like to be handle same times its the other way

---

No it is not weird. Your bird probably hasn't been handled too much. He/she is learning to trust you [or your hand] by getting on your finger. When it was a baby it wasn't handled or petted so it don't like to be petted on the head.
