    I really want a parakeet but my parents won't let me..but I will get one!! ;D This was very helpful and I will show this to my parents.. How should i persuade them..? Thanks

      @ParrotPerch  9 років тому +6

      Anezka Liskova Glad you like the video! Well, I am not sure about persuading your parents, but if you can do lots of research on budgies and prove that you are prepared for a bird, have plenty of time for one and are responsible enough to care for a budgie (they do take a good bit of care), then I would think your parents would be impressed! Good luck.

    Where's a good area for your parakeets cage?

    • @ParrotPerch
      @ParrotPerch  8 років тому +1

      +GamingPanda27 Someplace slightly quiet, away from where other pets can get to the birds. Also, since parrots can be sensitive to fumes (like teflon and cleaning agents) a place near the kitchen or bathroom might not be a good choice. You do want your bird(s) to be somewhere that allows them to see you, at least for part of each day.

      want them in a room where the action is and where they can see you a lot of the time. They'd get bored and lonely in a room where you're not in as much, like a bedroom.

    Hello, can you make a video on other basic parakeet care? such as:
    When to refill its food bowl, when you can let your parakeet out of its cage and let it fly around and for how many hours, so other basic care, for the parakeet in the house.

    • @zahrasultanzadeh9124
      @zahrasultanzadeh9124 7 років тому

      Laura Boderke you should get your bird out of the cage as much as possible. Birds need to be out of the cage most of the day to get enough enrichment, mental and physical stimulation and exercise.

    • @terryscott2632
      @terryscott2632 5 років тому

      Avoid toxic foods. If you give them apples make sure there's no seeds. Apple seeds are toxic; anything with cyanide which also includes cherry seeds. Probably already know to stay away from avocados, caffeine, salty foods aswell. Make sure to keep toxic fumes away from it. Includes air freshener, cleaners, perfumes, paint fumes, ect.use a natural biodegradable cleaner or ones advertised in stores meant to clean cages. If you have non stick pans keep birds away from the fumes when cooking or throw it away. There's a certain temperature to where a chemical is released from those pans which will kill them

  • @sebastian-zh4sj
    @sebastian-zh4sj 5 років тому +1

    I’m getting one tomorrow but I did some research and it said that you should have mirrors as your budgie can get attached to its reflection and not want to hang out with you anymore, so just a heads up... but I’m so Subscribing, I really want to learn more

    • @maxwelldouma1641
      @maxwelldouma1641 5 років тому +1

      This may be true if a parakeet is exposed to a mirror all of the time, but they like seeing their reflection occasionally.

  • @ParrotPerch
    @ParrotPerch  11 років тому

    No Christiaan, they typically don't (unless you are up late and making a lot of noise, in which case they may try to join you!). A good tip is to darken their room at night or use a cage cover. Birds are encouraged to keep quiet when their surroundings are dark!

      @ParrotPerch  9 років тому

      Seraani Uthayakumar Wow, well if your bird is getting in harm's way, it might benefit from having its wings clipped. It's not always necessary, but in this case, it sounds like it would prevent injury.

    So hi, I got a parakeet a couple of days ago and I was needing to know my bird does not want millet why?

    • @ParrotPerch
      @ParrotPerch  10 років тому

      Levi Duvall It takes a while for Budgies to get used to their new environment, so your bird is probably just trying to get settled. I would put some millet in the cage and just leave it there (unless it becomes soiled). Since parakeets are very curious, once your bird gets comfortable, it should start to explore the millet and hopefully enjoy a taste!

    • @alexiasun5094
      @alexiasun5094 7 років тому

      Definitely yes. In the wild they live in big groups. These birds are very social and should be held in pairs or bigger groups. A lonely budgie can easily become depressed, pulling it's feathers out and getting bored

    What do you need when your parakeet is pregnant? plz tell me!!

    • @ParrotPerch
      @ParrotPerch  10 років тому

      Hi Manuel. Since it seems you are needing immediate information, I am going to refer you to this website: www.budgieplace.com/breeding.html. This shows a typical breeding set up. The main things you want to have are a breeding box, plenty of food and water (may need to add more than your normal offerings during this time), a cuttlebone (or mineral block), and vitamins. These items are all explained in more depth on the site page I mentioned. Hope all goes well with your keet and the babies...how exciting!

    Hi the parakeet perch!!!! Uhmm do parakeets get aggressive when having babies?
    Pls reply i need your answer pls.

    • @ParrotPerch
      @ParrotPerch  10 років тому

      Francis Claro Hello! Yes, parakeets (and many other parrots) can get more aggressive when it's time to breed, have babies and care for the babies. You may have to do different things to manage your interaction with them (more patience and space can be needed) and to manage their interaction with cage mates.

    • @francisclaro745
      @francisclaro745 10 років тому

      Do they become sweet again after raising the babies?

    • @ParrotPerch
      @ParrotPerch  10 років тому

      Francis Claro Their personalities can change when they no longer have babies to feed and a nest to care for, however hormonal changes caused by coming into breeding age may still cause them to be different than they were as young birds. It's certainly manageable and doesn't mean they won't be sweet birds. It just may require some different approaches.

    What should budgies not eat or get near

    • @ParrotPerch
      @ParrotPerch  10 років тому

      School_Tales There are a lot of things that Budgies shouldn't eat. Food items can include caffeine, avacados and some fruit/veggy seeds or pits along with many household items. It might be better for you to go by a list of acceptables (some of the food items are listed in my fruit/veggie video) and keep your budgie(s) away from the rest. Common household hazards include water containers (like dog food bowls), ceiling fans, cleaners/chemicals and windows/mirrors (they can fly into them).

    I purchased a parAkeet yesterday but then my sister Said that I had to get a second one since these birds like to be paired. Well let's just say that the first night home, Brandon didn't even make a chirping sound at all. But then midday I heard him chirping. And I got all excited. So I took him back to the let store and let's just say he loves being outdoor. He was chirping and flying around in the cage. When we got LolA, it seems as though he went back to being quiet and wants nothing to do with LolA. What should I do. Give it a day or two and one more Thu g I'm scared to touch him how do you go about touching them.

    How often do you have to take your bird to get their beak/nails trimmed? I have 3 budgies, but I also have a sun conure that we take to the avian vet to have her nails and b am trimmed once every 3 months.

    Thank you so much for your informative video. I wanted to comment that tap water really is not ok for any living creatures. Most tap water contains arsenic, fluoride, chlorine and many other unhealthy toxins. Because they are so small, they are more vulnerable to the toxins than humans. Filtered or spring water would be best.

    I wish I could get one or two. Unfortunately my dad is highly allergic to birds feather and animals in general that have feathers or fur. Hints why I only have fish and snails. My mom use to have some, but when they married she couldn't take them with her because of him being allergic. :l

    the cage that was too small , i have that exact cage and have two budgies i feel so bad for them now but i cant afford to buy them a bigger cage , can you do a video of how to let your parakeet out of its cage and stay next to you because i do not want my babies cramped , thank you very much

    • @ParrotPerch
      @ParrotPerch  9 років тому

      mariahc357 It would be tough for me to do a video on keeping birds close by because my birds don't typically stay with me, unless I am working with them. You might consider having someone experienced clip your birds' wings, as this would help. The best thing, however, would really be to get them an appropriately sized cage. You might check online, as sometimes you can get some good deals on larger cages!

    I just Got a female parakeet in Friday. She seemed very sad alone as she came from a large cage where she was born. So we bought one of her sisters today. Are they usually silent birds? They don't seem to move much or sing at all. Are they just getting used to their new home or should I be concerned??

    I just bought a couple of that but they are really quite and not eating properly. I am really worry that what's wrong with them. They are really young.

    • @ParrotPerch
      @ParrotPerch  8 років тому +1

      +Nur Hossain Just give them time...it take a while for budgies to adjust sometimes. Hopefully they are doing much better now.

    • @ParrotPerch
      @ParrotPerch  8 років тому +1

      +Nur Hossain Also, make sure they are properly weaned. They should know how to eat on their own when they come to you, else you would have to hand feed and teach them independence. Breeders should take care of that part.

    My bird hates millit and I've had him for a week now and can't find anything he will eat other then seeds

    • @ParrotPerch
      @ParrotPerch  9 років тому

      BreakableRider 19 Wow, most budgies really like millet, so I'm surprised. Have you tried leaving some in his cage, or are you trying to feed it to him? You can try introducing pellets and fruits/veggies. Pellets need to be gradually added to seed in increasing amounts, and you have to be sure that your bird is still eating properly. Some birds will reject pellets and then not eat enough. Fruits and veggies may require a lot of trial and error. You can offer different types and present it in different ways (I have a video about this and it may help)! Grapes are usually a big hit as is kale!

    • @diary.of.a.equestrian1931

    I just got my budgie about 2 weeks ago, i'm going to teach her to talk. About how long if working with her every day would it take for her to learn to talk? Also should i be concerned about he not chirping at all? she may chirp once or twice while i'm present i dont know what she does during the day when i'm working, but i figured since she has only been in the house less than 2 weeks that she is still getting settled, thats why she isnt chirping, should i be concerned?

    Nice video but the concrete perch is bad as little grains can get stuck in there toes and could lead to serious injury cuz they have soft pads on there toes. And seeds shouldn't make up most of there diet yes the pallet are good but seeds should only make up 10% of their diet as they should eat a variety of fruits and vegetables with a mix of pallets
