Instead of playing with the birds..why not handle a dictionary. Geez. hert, wen handleing..
Nothing will happen to the bird or you if it bites you, but yes it will probably hurt. You can't just go in there and pick it up.

Go to the store, buy some millet, they love that. Offer some to the birds inside the cage twice a day. Give it 2 weeks, and then begin to position the millet on your hand so that the bird has to step on your hand to get to it. It takes some patience, but it is worth it. Let the bird get comfortable with your hand over a few more weeks, then you can begin to draw your hand out of the cage with the bird on it. Give it a few more months of this and you'll have them sitting on your shoulder!

Also realize that they can freak out if you have a hat on or a towel on your head, anything that makes you look different.
well i have 11 parakeets, 6 eggs to hatch and 4 baby birds and i havent been able to hold them but you can if you can train them.they move alot and they bite alot. No you wont get sick and when they bite its sort of a niddle prick feel.
Start out by just putting your hand in the cage and leaving it there, not moving it, so they get used to your hand. Do this for quite awhile. eventually they will get used to your hand and realize that "the hand" is not going to hurt them. and then little by little try to rub the tummy gently. It takes a long time for them to trust you, but with patience and repetition, it will happen.

Yes it does hurt when they bite. But I guess it depends on how hard they bite. How threatened they feel. I really don't think it will get you sick if they bite you. I have been bitten many times and have never gotten sick.
You can pick them up if you want to. Since you have had them for awhile they should be used to you, so they shouldnt bite.and if so they are small birds and it shouldnt hurt, and u shouldnt get sick. To pick them up just gently put your finger right above their feet against their legs so they can step up onto your finger.
Please repeat in English.
you can pick up a parakeet just be gentle and give them time to trust you,their bit hurt a little but you wont get sick and when they get to trust you they won,t bite hard anymore,you can start by using a glove to pick them up till you get comfortable with them and they get comfortable with you.
it most likely WILL hurt if they bite you.cause cause they have sharp lil beaks..if they bite you what u might try is use your middle finger and index finger adn put those 2 fingers around the back of thier neck putting little pressure on thier neck then stopping them from turning thier heads and biting you.i learned that with my budgees.and it really works
If you were going to handle them, you should have right from the start. You can try now, but you will probably make them nervous wrecks.

You won't get sick if they bite you and it doesn't hurt. It's like a tiny pinch.
You can pick them up, just press you finger against the parakeet's chest and it will step up. No one will get sick if they bite you, if they do it won't hurt unless U really get them mad.
