Hi thanks for commenting! Most of my bird are either raised here or some are rescues. When I breed my budgies, weather its colony breeding or cage breeding, I tend to always handle them from babies when cleaning out the nest boxes every other day. This helps them get used to the human activity and sensation of hands as it may be weird to them... On the other hand my rescue budgies (the one in this video) she is unfortunately a non flying budgie. she always needs help with getting up from the ground into the canopy so I've always been on top of handling and helping her out when I'm around doing things in the aviary! She is one of the oldest in the flock! 🤩🤩

Thankyou so much! ❤

Yes! This is another one of my rescues and he unfortunately is also a non flying budgie BUT living his best life for sure! 🙂🙂

Yes! this is why it is very important to know how to handle birds in these situations, weather its a budgie, finch, canary, cockatiel... I do agree with what you said about heading to an AVAIN VET but unfortunately most people don't have access to a qualified/professional avian vet and if they do, they don't have the financial capability to visit one... This is why I have opted to teach my self along with the knowledge of many friends and overseas avian vets and do it my self and also making a video about it... Regarding the emery board, YES, it is another good way to soften the sharp edges of the beak but you must make sure not to get the budgie tongue!!! You can also do it with very fine sand paper too...

Thanks! really appreciate the support and hopefully your aviary goes well!

Hey thanks for the question! In this setup I am using some reptile ceramic heaters which hang from the celling. I now currently use a oil filled electric radiator due to the larger space...

Aw, very sad to hear, hopefully this helps!!!

@@ibrahimameir8063 Thanks 🥰

Hihi

@@danielamunteanu1289 aw! That’s good! Hoping to make more like this soon 🤩

@@dalemorris7014 your very welcome! The key is to take your time and make sure you cut in the correct place without hitting a blood vessel! 😊😊

@@LucasFerrazvlogsanimals Thank you. I did it last night, and although she is mad at me, I did a good job. Much better than taking her to the vet every six weeks!

Thanks! ☺

Aww! Thanks! Really appreciate your support by watching the videos! ❤

Hi thanks for commenting! Most definitely budgies are not really the type of bird to reject their young. At least from my experience of keeping and hand rearing them. The parents will always feed their young whether it’s day or night. What you could always do is check their crop in the morning and see if there is any food that the parents might have fed in the night… 😊😊

​​​@@LucasFerrazvlogsanimals What about when I'm at college? The parents will feed it right? OR Will they not because I fed it

When I come back from college I'll handfeed them

When I come back I'll feed😅

@@Tahiiiiiiiyaattt yes they should feed it. 😊😊

Hi! Thanks for commenting! I would try feeding her Boiled egg. Give her less than half boiled egg and see if she eats it. If she does, continue to give her boiled egg ever other week and then start introducing vegetables mixed in the egg… see if that helps. If you have a look at my video on soft food you’ll see how I do the boiled egg… Hope this helps! 😊😊

​@@LucasFerrazvlogsanimals Thank you 😊 I will definitely try it. I hope it will work 😊

@@tejpalsinhzala4186 Let us know how it all goes! 😊

​@@LucasFerrazvlogsanimals definitely I will 😊👍

​@@LucasFerrazvlogsanimals hi. I trying to feed my Tweety boil egg as you suggest but unfortunately she keeps it throwing up and not even eating anything 😒 I'm truly worried about it and gave her rice. What should I do now?! 😢

You are welcome! Happy to have helped 😊😊

I got my first FM bird from a breeder. It did not have any signs of FM, but another breeder told me "oh,oh, did you buy from xx, she has FM". I answered: What is FM? And then all hell broke loose in my breeding room. I culled at least 25 chicks, stopped breeding for a year, moved the adult birds to a new breeding facility and then I got rid of it. But I used 100 liters of Clorox in the process.

Hiii!!!

😂😂😂 Honestly 😂😂😂👌🏼

Hi! ThankYou for commenting! If you have got a 25day old baby you shouldn’t really be giving it formula if it’s already eating seed. It’s normal that the bird will start biting and panicking because my guess is that he has never been had fed from a young age. Usually you hand feed budgies or any baby bird from a young age. Usually I start feeding mine when they are 8-9days old… Hope this helps 😊

Aw! I’m so so happy this video has helped! That’s what the videos are for 🤩 ThankYou so much for commenting and supporting me and the channel! ❤️

Hi thanks for commenting! Never force bath birds! It has to be their choice! I usually put a bowl or fountain of water and leave it there for an hour or 2 and let them decide if they want to bath. It may take time because budgies are very picky/scared with things they are not used to but usually once 1 budgies tries it, the others follow along…

Aw! Glad I could help! Is what I try my best to do. ThankYou so much for watching and supporting ❤️

Glad this helped 😊🤩

Hi Daniele! ThankYou so so much for you comment, love and support towards the birds, myself and the channel! 🤗 I am glad my videos have motivated you to get into budgies. Female budgies will only lay eggs for breeding if there is a nest box or some sort of dark area which they feel would be a great area to lay and raise their young. What I usually do when I want a pair to lay one clutch is I let the chicks grow until they flee the nest and then remove the nest box. This usually stops them from laying more and breeding. If they do lay egg whilst there is chicks in the box then just remove the eggs… Hope this helps out and if you have nah more questions don’t hesitate to comment and I’ll try my best to reply 😊😊

Hi Lucas, thank you so much for the response I really do appreciate it thank you. Sorry just another quick question that I have, so I have got a small aviary as well as 2 small flight cages, would you recommend that I put the budgies to breed in the aviary or rather breed them separately in the flight cages and then from there move them into the aviary once the chicks are all grown up and eating on their own? I look forward to your next bird video.

@@danieleliddi6677 Hi Daniele! I think if you want to have a successful breeding with budgies, put them in a separate cage. It’s better for them but it’s also better for you because like that you can monitor them closely. In the future I really do not recommend breeding budgies in an aviary because they’ll literally kill each other… Not sure if you’ve seen my colony breeding video done a couple of year ago but that will basically explain why colony breeding isn’t good in an aviary… ThankYou again for commenting and asking! I appreciate it and don’t hesitate to ask more question! Here to help 😉

Hi Lucas, thank you so much for the information I really do appreciate it, thank you and yes I did recently watch your colony breeding video and now totally do understand why I shouldn't colony breed and rather breed in separate cages, another quick question that I have, so once the chicks are old enough to be handled, when cleaning the nestbox, is it okay to handle the baby chicks and maybe play with them for a bit and then put them back in the nestbox or would it rather be better to not handle the chicks and just leave them in the nestbox? If I play with the chicks and then put them back in the nestbox, do you think that the mother will abandon the chicks because now I would of touched them or do you think it will be okay, that the mother will still look after the chicks even if I have played with them? Thanks Lucas.

ThankYou so much! Yes I do sell them in the breeding season only in the UK 🇬🇧
