Thanks !!!Keep on making videos , you have special approach to birds, I wish I could have these informations when I had birds and time,,, Booth of you are lovely❤
You're an OG, that was the premise of this channel long ago... I won't always be able to make a tutorial, but I am looking at regular uploads again. Thank you sticking around!
Thank you, very important topic, I used to get him outside of his cage, and set him free in the room ( after I close all the exits), and I felt a different behavior from my goldfinch, is it useful, even thought I watched him him the sealing twice, I was afraid, but now he's good
My favorite bird Haubi was killed by my vet. He had an slightly swollen foot and even though the vet stated that she doesn't want to stress him too much by taking him several times in the hand, she did it anyways and even gave him a injection of antibiotics. After taking him for the 3rd time in the hand he collapsed and died on the spot. It was a huge loss for me, since we had a very strong bond, I could even take him to the park, which is really not common for canary birds. ua-cam.com/video/Fot-oHUZey4/v-deo.html
I'm so sorry for your loss. Haubi looks like a real character, and the fact that you could take him to a park is amazing! It's no consolation, but the vet messed up big time. Oral antibiotics work quickly, within 2-3 hours and can easily be administered via drinking water, no grabbing necessary. Worse, birds as small as canaries should never be injected, unless in extreme cases of life-threatening sepsis where every second counts (which probably wasn't the case with only a slightly swollen foot). Avian vets know this, and I'm guessing the vet did not have the extra training required for avian medicine in Central Europe. What happened to your Haubi is a complete shame! Again, very distraught to hear that. Unfortunately, many bad vets don't understand that 1) birds are not hamsters and that 2) the patient they are manhandling is not just "some bird", but very often someone's companion and trusted friend. Virtual hugs from Paris.
1. Among my colleagues, it is considered that the best way to transport the bird is simply in a small dark box with a hole or grilles for ventilation. The bird will not be able to injure itself, and the darkness calms the birds. They sit quietly and don't try to panic.The bird can also be easily and quickly catched out of the box. Also if you can't take taxi, you can use public transportation by putting a box with the bird in your backpack, but in that case don't walk with a lot of bouncing
Oh God, no, NO. A dark box is absolutely NOT suitable for transportation. I remember a time when this was common here, too. But it is NOT a good way to transport birds for the following number of reasons: 1. Bird feet have to tense (!) their muscles to lie flat. A bird MUST have a perch for this reason. Not providing one is similar to making a human do a Roman wall seat or hold a squat for hours - on top of already being stressed and afraid. 2. The darkness does not calm the bird if motion and noise are present, which inevitable happens when you transport the bird. Birds go still because they can't see. It's a FREEZE INSTINCT, not "calmness". Add to that the stress of slipping to and fro (no perch!) and you have a perfect disaster. 3. Air flow is very poor. A box with holes wouldn't even be good for a mammal - now consider that birds don't just have lungs, but air sacs, and are a hundred times more sensitive to air quality than we are. Air circulation is compromised in a box, even if it has holes. Lack of air causes permanent damage to the brain and other vital organs. 4. The psychological effects of transporting a bird like this are egregious. How would you feel if I put a blindfold on you and put you in the boot of a car? Same thing. It's traumatising. 5. Putting your bird in your rucksack does not allow for communication or reassurance from your side. He might have a shock from stress, keel over from the lack of air, or collapse for any number of reasons. If he's out of sight, how would you know? The bird might well be dead on arrival. Just no. ... I could go on but I shan't. Long story short, DON'T transport birds in cardboard boxes.

Yes, they really have a mind of their own. Glad your goldfinch is well
The biggest problem for me is to catch my canary, I don't have quick reflexes
Then the ebook is for you. It explains how to teach your bird to go into the transport cage on their own, without any catching, grabbing or chasing.
@@leporellothegoldfinch thanks!
just switch off the light and catch him in the darkness, birds cant see when it's dark
Thank you so much for the info! Very helpful and you sounds great by the way, have you ever considered making asmr video's ? 😊
Thank you for the compliment! No ASMR plans at the moment
@@leporellothegoldfinch Maybe one day 😊
@@leporellothegoldfinchyes lovely voice❤
🥺💔
