[rec.birds] Parakeet Training

  I have a pet Parakeet named Dutchess who I am having no luck in
  training.  Really all I'd like to do is get her to get used to me
  so that when I approach the cage she doesn't freak out.  From what
  I've seen this group tends to be more about birds in the wild so I
  hope I'm not out of place with this question.  I care about her a
  lot and don't like the idea of scaring her every time I come near
  her.  Can anyone give some ideas to try?   Thanks in advance,
