what do i do with my brand new female parakeet?

For about a day or two, just let her relax. She might be pretty stressed because of the whole moving process. As for the water, she should find it by herself, unless it is in a bottle. Parakeets are often too small to drink from the bottles. Make sure her food has millet in it. (little bitty brown balls with shells)

Also make sure you have her in a quiet place, and cover her cage at night. If she continues to not eat, buy some millet spray from anywhere really. Parakeets love millet spray, and will not deny it!!!! :D Not to mention, you can buy it at almost any pet store, and most Wal-marts.

After a day or two of being at your house, try and play with her, she may bite, but just hold her,(not too tight!!!) with your hand wrapped around her wings, for about 5 minutes, she will probably be tame by then. She may bite when you do this, but do not let her go.

Also, once she is more tame and knows you better, you can train her to jump onto your finger by pressing it on her belly near her legs. (dont poke her!)

Good luck, hope I helped!

Same thing with me a few days ago. I just got her to trust me by petting her an I shared my water with her. If she doesn't fly around a lot to the point you can't catch her then let her out of the cage. I put the food dish up to her and ahe steps on then I take it out with her on it to get her out of the cage. Just bond with her.

just let hear chill, she is new to her surroundings .make sure you keep food and fresh clean

water. don't be so quick to bond be around speak to her softly

also females have a Tendance to bite

try not to poke your finger threw the bars they generally don't like that

good luck
