I am really mixed here... My parakeets get really unhappy if put in any room but my main living room/ kitchen area, but that's where we use Teflon pans! I don't have control over who uses the kitchen either and I know most people won't move the cage out of the room if they're going to cook! It is a pretty big room, but I'm still nervous.
Another great video by "The Parakeet Perch!" Keep it up!
Thanks for the help!
Ah thanks God, I changed the place on my budgies cage, it was near the cable cord. Thank you, you saved my birds' life :D
Adam Zoebi Glad to help!
Hello! I just found your channel and I was wondering something. I'm planning on making an outdoor aviary for my four budgies. But I don't really know how big to make it and what to put in it to keep them fully entertained, or if it's safe for me to do that. I live in Minnesota so they'd only be out during the summer days and I'd take them in at night to make sure they'd be safe. Thank you for your time and I hope to get a response.
Thanks for the new video and I also have a question, can budgies pick up your mood without facial expressions?
Hi I absolutely love your videos and find it to be very useful !
I had a question if I can keep a single budgie , and if yes should it be a male or female ?
do a video about how to tell when your budgies sick that would help me a lot thanks
Thank u
Can you use Dawn to clean perches
This vid really helped thanks!
Can you do a do's and don'ts video?
Is the grid at the bottom of the cage necessary?
how big should a cage for two budgies be?
Hey I have my birds any least 15 feet away from any cooking stoves and ovens is that far enough away?
Nigel Arkhurst That is ok, as long as you are not using teflon cookware or other chemicals in the immediate area.
How do I clean the cage fully, like take perches out etc, with 4 semi-tamed parakeets? In a previous video you said not to cause them stress and not force them to do anything, but then how would I clean the cage without giving them stress or not to have them fly around aimlessly when I either have to grab them or chase them back into the cage, because I don't want to do that.
Legenddarkrai/Watermellonduke Take a look at my video about how to clean your bird cage, as it may help. One of the things I highlight there is to just take the cage top off (if it detaches) and set it down somewhere with the birds in it. That may work for you if you do it very gently. I would recommend taming your birds a bit more, so they are at least comfortable with your putting your hand in the cage. Slow and quiet movements are best, especially in the beginning, so they don't associate your presence with a lot of disruption. If they are really worried, even taking some time to just talk to them can help. Hand feeding in the cage can also make them associate your hand with something good!
a video on homemade parakeet toys plsssssssssssssss;D...GREAT VIDEO ;)
Well I was wondering where do you out your birds when your cleaning? I understand if you let them flying but what if you are scared to keep it out of sight :)
Mam how to tame a aggressive budgie
I got 2 new budgies and spent more money on the cage, toys, Etc. and I don't have enough money for a new cage for me to wash the cage throughly without the bird getting wet. I have a old cage in my garage but it's pretty small. What should I do?
galaxy star You should put it in that old age as long as they can fit and can't get out. The cleaning is just a quick process so you can put the birds back in the cage after you clean their cages.
Oh ok thx. One died, do you reccomend getting another budgie while taming or wait a bit?
Hi ***** can you do a video on making your parakeet feel safe outside of the cage
Trenton Perez Hi Trenton. I currently have several requests pending, so it may take me a little while to do it, but I would be glad to. If you need some tips and tricks before then, let me know!
Thanks so much. I've had my birds for a few weeks now and I can finally get my birds to step onto my finger (if I offer millet) but can't seems to get them out of the cage without scaring them
Just feed them closer and closer to the cage opening if you can, or once they perch, just bring them very slowly to the opening, but let them fly back if they are scared. Eventually, they should get used to it. It does take budgies a while to get used to new environments.
Hey I have a question so I know that a little bit of radiation comes from the TV and I am planning to get a parakeet and I'm gonna have it in my room and I know if the TV or phone may harm it
EthenyFlame I have never heard of a TV or phone harming a budgie. Teflon fumes and chemical fumes are usually some of the biggest household hazards.
ok thank you
EthenyFlame My pleasure!
Parakeet perch I have a great video for you can you make a video about how to keep your parakeets cool out side in the summer plzz
How often do you clean the cage a week? Does the newspaper work well for the 'bedding'?
Orca Revelation Newspaper works very well as a cage tray liner. Just avoid putting the highly colored pages on top, as the ink is not good for birds to consume. I clean my cage completely once per week. Also, in the middle of the week, I will just change the paper out. I clean out food/water bowls daily.
Thank You so much!!
Orca Revelation My pleasure!
I only use newspaper it works fine.
How to install this budgie on my Arch? (your video title got me)
Hi madam.. Good day poh.. Im from Phil 🇵🇭 i learned many things from you..all your videos are very helpfull.. Im sorry for my english I hope you understand hehe.. Madam question how could we known if my female budgie is pregnant? Or how old did budgies 🐦 can lay eggs? Thanks madam and more power to you.. please shout out the words to ur video ❤️MABUHAY!!! 💕 MAHAL KITA!!! 💕 THANK YOU MADAM😍
I want to get a budgie but I'm not sure if I should. Many people say they're great for apartment pets but you say not to put them near a kitchen..but my living room is with the kitchen...so I'm not sure if it's safe to put a budgie in a spot in my living room that is the furthest away from the kitchen...
Sarah, you could be absolutely fine. Our living room & kitchen is open-plan downstairs. Our budgie has a woody playground he loves in our large family kitchen. He flies freely so we take him to his cage in the living area each time we cook. Or, to a bedroom upstairs, when using Teflon, only occasionally. Teflon is dangerous only when gases are released on intense heat - when cooking. If you don't have a separate room, just replace your cookware.
Where did you get your budgie?? I really want one but idk where to get it. Pet smart, petco or a local breeder!!!!HELP!!!!!
My budgie is loosing feathers on his four head and getting very bright yellow spots all over him but he still a baby so he could be just changing colors
This is a random question but can you tame two parakeets at the same time??
HAROLD600 Yes, you sure can! Usually, where one goes, the other does, so it actually might be a little easier than working with them separately!
Ok thx and how come every time I try to give my parakeets millet they go crazy :)
HAROLD600 It sounds like the birds need to get used to your hand! You probably need to go back and work on hand taming from the beginning. I have a video about that, if you need to use it as a reference!
K thx again I'm able to touch one of my parakeets without it freaking out thx for your help and I will tell you the progress in a future video :)
HAROLD600 Glad to hear things are getting better. I will be glad to see your progress!
Parakeet perch help my parakeet haven't been the same they are both sad and shy not playing or bonding and one stays on one side and the other one is also on the opposite side
Leandro Hernandez You should have them checked out by an avian vet if they are inactive, just to make sure nothing is wrong (or to get treatment if it is).
Plzz can you make a video about how to tell when my parakeet is pregnant
I have a cat and a dog that love to eat tiny living animals. What do you think I can do if I am allowed to get a budgie. My cat and dog can jump so yeah...
Hey! Can someone PLEASE help me!?
I have a budgie. I have had him since September 22nd of 2014 and I was able to get him to sit on my finger but now he doesn't seem to be willing and when he does he just starts biting or pinching my fingers like crazy. He tends to go towards my nail and just start biting or nipping to the point that hes getting some skin lol it's like getting a painful manicure. Is this natural? He doesn't seem to be doing it to be mean since sometimes he will just stop and start scratching himself and look around. Sometimes if I put my finger near him he will move away and at times I follow but I try not to and other times he will put one foot on my finger and start going at it with the biting or whatever he's doing. He isn't drawing blood but it's more like a pinch (a very painful pinch)
Delagrim Try to allow him to make the choice to get on your finger, do not force him, and see if that makes a difference. Does he like millet or some other type of treat? If so, you can hold it on the other side of your finger and require him to step up to get to the food (hold your finger without touching him, but where he can still step up). Beware, it may take some time and patience to get your bird to step up without coaxing, but it will be worth it! If he gets frustrated and nippy, back away and try again later. Also work on bonding with your bird a little more. Spend time talking to him, whistling, hand feeding and whatever your bird enjoys. Let me know things go with him!
***** Yup! I feed him millet. Once in a while he will get on my finger and while he's eating he will start to nibble on my finger a bit too. I try my best to bond with him. He is on my night stand next to my bed and I take him to the living room when I am going to be out the room for a long time so he should be used to me moving around lol but I will give it a try.. he's a nice bird other than the biting. He normally keeps quiet when I'm sleeping or when i'm sick :D
The only place I could place my cage is in the kitchen... But far away from the stove, but the food smells when I cook.
i'm getting a parakeet and i want to know what room is best to train and keep the bird in
Sabrina Strickland A room that is fairly quiet and away from household hazards and other pets is great!
thank you
Sabrina Strickland My pleasure!
Can some one help me with a overgrown beak ?
@theparakeetperch
A hawk attacked my budgie and now he's scared what do I do?
Please my bugie is sick.i think it has got cold.can you tel me a formula by which I can cure her please. I love my bugies l don't want my bugie sick. Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Raisul Islam I can't recommend any formula for your bird. It needs to be seen by an avian veterinarian to get a proper diagnosis and treatment.
how can you let out your bird without haveing it poop everywhere?
PuffyTigerToy That is tough. Birds tend to poop as they need to, and although I have heard of larger parrots being trained to potty in certain areas, smaller birds are more difficult when it comes to that. It may help to take your bird out for shorter periods and then allow it to take a break in its cage, but even that, unfortunately, doesn't guarantee that it won't poop when out.
***** I will try what you said :)
PuffyTigerToy I hope it works for you!
***** Thx :)
***** It has been 8 days since we got them , when do you think I can Tame them?
Wait never mind I'm ok
You don’t exactly have a safe stool to put your parakeets cage on.
Rubbish 👎
