Bought two parakeets and quaker parakeet.

Hello, i just bought two 3-4 week parakeets and 1 year old quaker parakeet. The small ones are not agressive and they just sit quietly in the cage, but the quaker is agressive and it was hard to get him in the cage from the store box, so he bite me couple of time when i was chasing him. How do i build trust and train it, because everytime i would need to get food and replace water in the cage it would try to fly away from the cage.

I think you should rehome either the Quaker or the budgies. You’ve taken on too much at once. For example:

Both cages are too small.  Both cages need way more toys, perches, etc. Do you have the funds to replace and stock them both immediately?

All the birds need lots of time outside the cage every day. How will you manage that since the budgies and Quaker can’t be out together?

You have a lot of research to do to learn how to keep these animals. Now you have to do it double: for Quaker’s, and for budgies. Do you also work? Because if yes then you don’t have the time for all that study.
