I know I have not been on in about a month (job searching, taking care of mother, etc) but I've been diligently trying to hand train my keets. Unfortunately, as I recently discovered, my brother has been hindering my efforts..
A month after I've gotten the keets, and they still don't trust my hand at all. I no sooner put my hand in the cage that they start flapping around hysterically. This completely puzzled me, surely after a month they would have learned that I was not going to hurt them...
As it turns out, my brother had been putting his hand in the cage and TRYING TO GRAB THEM. No wonder they are still terrified of me! I'm so livid, and I wonder if at this rate I'll ever get them hand trained. I don't want to leave them in the cage forever

Also, my father is getting sick and tired of their chattering (which i love to hear, its cute!) and how they toss their seed out of the cage and says if I don't do something about it soon, he'll release them outside. ._. I sweep, but apparently it isn't good enough...
Does anyone have any suggestions? For the record, I'm a recent college graduate who only just got an entry-level job, so packing up and moving out isn't really an option until I build up some ssavings again, tuition and books totally ate away at mine >.<
