   no longer than most hand raised birds it takes about 2-4 days to teach them to hop up on your hand another week or so to teach them where they are allowed to fly, not that they won’t push it later. And about a week to potty train so within a month you should have a good solid relationship with your bird.
   Here is a great site to check out for lots of info on keets

   Well…some of the parakeets at the pet store are already finger tame.Some of them are not,like my budgie.You should learn more about parakeet taming and all of that.Here is a website that tells all about budgies and how to hand tame them.BudgiePlace.com Remember,wait five days and then stick your finger inside of the cage(Slowly) and put your finger in front of the parakeet and If he/she freaks out and flutters around the cage,then the parakeet is not finger tame.
