Answer:

Since they are both made of carbon their chemical properties are the same.

Most physical properties of a solid like hardness, melting point, conductivity of heat/electricity, etc. largely depend on it's crystal structure.

Graphite and diamond have very different structures.

Graphite has a layered sheet-like structure with each layer consisting of hexagonal rings, this is because all carbon atoms are sp2 hybridised.

Diamond has a tetrahedral structure since all carbon atoms are sp3 hybridised.

If you wanted to teach your pet parakeet to give you a kiss on the cheek, which technique would be most effective?
Finger [1]
I believe the answer is Shaping.
Shaping is a  reinforcement technique which use a reward that given gradually after the subject is showing a certain desired traits.
On parakeets, this could be done by giving them a food reward everytime they move their head closer to the place where we want it to be (closer to your cheek)
