Hi,

I have two parakeets, Sublime and Cyane.  i have only had them about...3 weeks now.  well, they're afraid of me. Sublime isn't as afraid as Cyane is. she will at least eat millet from my hand.  i want to be able to hold and pet them if at all possible. i don't want them to be afraid. but it hurts when they bite, i'm a wimp what can i say...would it help if i wore gloves or would that scare them even more?  right now i generally let them out and just try to get a few pets in and see if they'll eat millet from me. Cyane just does his best to fly away from me (their wings are clipped). any thoughts?

oh, one other thing, are there any perticular fruite or veggies that parakeets love above all others?  mine so far aren't at all interested in either one. thanx!
