He's definitely shouting ( HELP ME! ) I hope people (specially birds owners: who are usually good sensitive people) will understand one day that birds belong to the skys and not to the living room.
Hey Jamie. Hopefully you don't misunderstand my intentions but you don't need to wait a year to tell a budgies gender 😊 typically you'll be able to tell definitely by 6-8 weeks old. The various mutations might make it a bit difficult for some individuals but I guess I owned budgies all my life so I can easily tell. From your community picture that you posted of Capri and Blueberry, I can tell easily that Blueberry is 100% a female 😇
Feather Beautiful, what makes you say that, I ask because long ago I was told itsby the color of their cere, pinky flesh fir girls, and a bluish white for males, on my iPad, I can't see the color yet.
@@bkm2797 it's different for a budgie under six months and a budgie over six months that's when their colour of their cere will change to blue male pinky/brown female before then you can still tell or at least some people can
I got the feeling from what she says at the beginning that she knows that, but Capri thinks he's a boy & I suspect blueberry doesn't care what gender she's called.
@@bkm2797 Young females have light blue ceres with white rings around the nostrils, this is the safest way to tell if it's a female! Blueberry has the white rings. :) Young males usually have pink ceres without any trace of white. Hope this helps!
when blueberry was in the shower, my heart melted. hE'S TOO CUTE! he's like the polar opposite of my cockatiel who is clingy, annoying, and a little bratty toddler. Love my cockatiel to pieces though!
@@lizzieferrell6778 No OP is correct that Blueberry is definitely a female. Blueberry's cere is developing exactly how a female budgie's cere usually develops-- it starts out rose-colored, then it turns white-ish with sometimes light blue mixed into it before turning light brown and then a darker brown. You can already see hints of Blueberry's cere turning lightly brown. If Blueberry were a male, the cere would turn from rose-colored to purple to blue.
Aww Blueberry is so cute!!!!!!!! Does he get along with the rest of the flock? He seems to be your helper during the day 😂 So glad to see a video with the budgie!!!!!!!!! Please make more vids with him I love seeing him!!!!!!!
Other than my budgies. Blue is the cutest budgie in the entire world!!! My budgies wont cuddle I wish they did, it is so cute to see your entire family play with her.
I just LOVEEEE that blueberry has the attention today, and no big birds in sight. So awesome. I have me a blueberry but his name is AZUL. Hes such a cute chatterbox 😍
Nice. I like ur channel. I am also a bird lover. Running my own channel to help people. I really appreciate ur work. Thanks for sharing ur knowledge with birds lover.
Around 6:25, the high pitched sound she‘s making is the same sound, my budgies make when one is sitting somewhere alone, and he‘s calling for a his friend. She‘s actually calling for other budgies. I do truly believe that your love for your birds is endless, however, no matter how deeply you care for her/them and love her/the,, you cannot be another bird to your bird. Pls, don‘t let her calls be unanswered.
I agree. Our blue budgie, pingu, was also yelling at times during the day until we got her a friend (a white boy named momo) after a month of her being alone. Since then they've barely yelled and are so happy together. Their chirps are now very mellow and happy and they often play around each other.
All 4 of my budgies were calling back to her. They never make that noise otherwise. (Aside from when my 1 budgie, Bandit, sneaks outside the bird room and gets lost in the house). Breaks your heart hearing that sound, when you know what it means.
This struck me, too. Those are definitely calls to locate other birds/friends/mate/etc. Budgies are so incredibly social, and "robbing" them of a friend of the same species will definitely inpact their quality of life. Now I have no doubt little Blueberry is having a good life, please don't take this the wrong way! It's just that, the bigger the flock, the happier the budgies are, usually. And having a friend who speaks your own language is so incredibly important for budgies. They can just as easliy be tamed even if you have more than one.
Ahhhh I am so glad to know it’s not you who clipped his wings. I had a budgie once - James - he was the truest gentleman and so extremely tame and trusting. He loved when we had guests over, the more the merrier.
Blueberry is gorgeous! Budgies are such an underrated parrot! Weirdly, I have had loads of budgie owners argue with me to say that they aren't parrots... they're birds... LOL
Awwwhhh, lookit that sweet little helper! What a wonderful little bird. I’m also really happy that you’re passing your knowledge on, not just through UA-cam, but to your daughter as well.
Just watched your awesome video featuring your 2 newest stars....Capri and Blueberry!!! Thank you for adding the little ones to your collection of amazing teaching tools not to mention those heartwarming scenes!!! 🥰
Oh crap, hate when hit send before done. My little Joey Bird I caught flying around outside when I was alittle older the Capri is was my best friend and my very first and only real relationship with something other then my 2 siblings. Joey got me through many hard times and the day he died was the worst ever. He was free to fly around our house and joined us at the dinner table all the time. He had a few words he often said , and I could take him outside with no problems. But those little guys sure do have that high pitch sherrill. Love their little feet. Look forward to seeing more.
Those looked like store bought sprouts from the look of the container but I second the need for a sprouting video! Sprouting is so good, especially for budgies because it closely mimics their wild diets!
SeabassFishbrains I’d like to know for myself! I miss sprouts on sandwiches... the grocery stores around here won’t carry them anymore because they go off so quickly.
Sweet little guy. Please - be really careful about him being on the floor. I am sure he is really quick to avoid getting trapped but he is so much smaller than your other birds. He could easily get overlooked under someone's feet or a laundry basket.
Bluebery looks just like my budgie, and its his birthday today! He is now 7 years old and I've had him since he was two months old! He knows shake and upside down. When he saw Blueberry on the screen he nearly freaked out. Edit: Capri is so good with Blueberry!!
I've been avoiding watching this video as we lost out eight year old Budgie, Bobby in May and I thought it might make me tear up... which it did in the end anyway. We miss him so very much as he was such a beautiful and friendly bird. He cuddled my husband more than me but I just adored watching him. I don't think we gave him the 'healthiest' life and he acted a lot slower and put weight on for the last 3 years, but to get him to 8 was amazing and we were too nervous to change his food etc. because he'd never been sick. My favourite part of watching Blueberry was definitely seeing him/her talking to the birds outside. Bobby used to do this and I miss his sweet singing the most. Fabulous, fabulous creatures and a great pet for everyone.
Kaylee as amazing, as when she calls for/to other budgies, but no one is answering, bc she‘s alone and nobody speaks her language? Yeah, totally jealous. 🙄🙄🙄
I love having small birds. They require so much less of everything, but give all the satisfaction of large birds. My budgies are so smart, but also so very busy busy. Both my Pet Shop Budgies were flighted when I got them and I believe it made it more challenging to tame and train them because the could fly away easily. Do you think Blue tamed quicker because he wasn't flighted and therefore dependent upon you to get him place to place those first crucial days? Also, just a safety tip for small birds. I forego shoes when my birds are loose. Then I can feel them by my feet and am more aware to not step on them. Thanks.
Capri, Jamieleigh & Dave, I am truly enjoying your series & commentary about Blueberry-Budgie Womack & the wonderful addition to your family that Blueberry is. 🍒😊💖
I love the baby bird chirps! 🥰 I have a two month old budgie and his name is Hulk. I don't want him to grow up because he's so adorable as a baby. Normally you can sorta tell what gender they are, boy or girl, when the budgie is between 1-3 months old. Hopefully this'll help you a little bit. Edit: Haha! My four budgies perked up when I played the noise of Blueberry chirping. They didn't respond though.
Blueberry is an absolute sweetheart! I find male birds more friendlier than females. I think your daughter is right , blueberry is a boy. Your daughter is the next generation bird whisperer , just like her mom. So sweet!
Your daughter is adorable! I love watching her interaction with Blueberry. I'm reminded of being a part of my friends daughter's life, watching her grow up learning horse training naturally from her father. She was 2 years old when I first met them. Her father would have her be part of many horse trainings he did for people. Now, a beautiful young woman, finished with college, she trains horses for other people. Thank you for sharing this glimpse into your daughter and Blueberry's day.
I had a blue budgie when I was Capri's age. He was the funniest, craziest little energizer bunny but the sweetest pet ever. This video has bought back some very happy memories. Thanks 😍💙
Aaaaaawwww JamieLeigh and Capri!!!! Blueberry is so adorable while you pet him :))) I love parakeets and they are so precious and intelligent. Thank you for sharing Blueberry and showing how important tiny parrots are too! I owned a parakeet at one time and adored him. They should not be sold so cheaply. They are precious little angels and so smart and lovable! Thank you for this video! Love, big hugs, birdie kisses. Barb, Beenie, Baby spirit :)))
Blue berry is awesome. I love your videos. Birds of a feather. People underestimate budgies. Sometimes a liitle thing can be a big deal. Thanks for thd video!!!!❤💚💜💙💛🌈
They posted a video about getting "him" a little while ago (maybe 2 or three months ago?) but he's been chirping in the background of their videos for months now (very recognizable if you're familiar with budgie song), he's still totes a baby bird though!
Blueberry was got as a way to teach the viewers how to train a budgie.(small birds in general) the plan was to get an untamed bird and then give him back the original owner but the original owners decided they changed their mind so now blueberry is theirs.
My 2 budgies, males we believe, that we have had for 2 months still are to scared to leave their cage and I have tried every budgie taming video,they are even to scared to eat millet if I put it in their cage and I started moving around
Are they scared of the millet or your hand when you put it in? If they’re scared of the actual millet you might want to just put it near their cage for a few days or even on top of their cage so they know that it’s not anything scary and after that try putting it in the inside edge of their cage. I did this with my birds since they used to be freaked out of a certain toy I had for them but I know that they would love it if they weren’t scared and now they do love the toy after I did that
My experience w/parakeets &/or budgies. Seeing how young Blueberry is & the “bleaching” around the cere “nostrils”, I’d say that “he” is a “she”... most young budgie/keets have a purplish or blue to their ceres (think noses or nostrils) but with more white out or “bleaching” is usually indicates a female. I look forward to more videos of Blueberry, so adorable! 💙*insert a blueberry emoji here*💙
Okay so two questions 1: does blueberry have a cage? 2: if not how does he get 12 hours of sleep in the living room on a foraging tree? I ask because I have been having a hard time finding a quiet spot in the house where my parrotlet can get 12 hours of uninterrupted sleep due to the noise my family makes around the house .
Blueberry has the life! I had a yellow budgie named Bananas who was a girl for sure and she was the sweetest! I loved her so much and would love to have another one, but I have four rescue cats and wouldn't be able to let a budgie out the cage and I would never have a bird I couldn't let be free and out of the cage all day. 😘
You make it sound so easy to go through a day with a budge. I have two budgies one named Sky and the other Moon. You sure have some talent with birds. 😊
Thank you so much😍, i changed the food for my budgies, and they eat that incredibly good. The greys are still looking at it, 🙄, as at every new thing in their Voliere. But finally the hunger will be stronger ✌
I love the bigger parrots but this little guy is so cute and just seems so content with everything, but then again, why wouldn't he be content living with the best bird people in the world.
Blueberry calls out to other budgies. She really need one. Humans can't be a budgies flock, because we may understand their calls, but we are not able to answer the way they need. Please get another budgie as soon as possible. Yes, your daughter maybe won't be happy, when Blueberry stops being so much with her. But it's for the health of the birds and I'm sure, you will be able to tame both. Budgies don't behave like bigger parrots. I can understand the behavior of budgies, I even recognize their different calls, but I can't understand your other birds. That is not bad. You seem doing so good with those other birds, but maybe you just haven't learned to understand a budgie yet. It really takes time. Please get a second one. Watch them. Their interaction. Their calls. You will understand, that there is something, a human just can't give to a budgie. And believe me, their mental and social wellbeing is so important.
I love how your baby (who’s becoming more and more identical to her daddy by the second) has learned the tricks of her mommy. Seeing her training with HIM 😆 (issa boy) is so adorable. You’re teaching her well Momma. ♥️
I love Budgies! I am so happy you got one and are showing they can be nice pets. ❤ A few other things... It would be good to encourage the bird to use more very skiny perches as that helps strengthen foot grip and balance, which is healthier than most of your thicker perches. Waiting a year to gender you bird might not tell you anything new. Your bird has light blue cere with white around the nostrils, it is a female and won't become a male royal blue. However, not all females enter into breeding condition where they get the brown or crusty cere, so if you were waiting on that, it might not happen either. And a lot of females who are content never lay eggs. So your Blueberry might not ever develop to anything much different than what she already is, the definite female of a light blue cere with white around the nostrils. I don't know if you can educate your cute daughter that the bird is likely female, light blue is girls royal blue is boys, but I would like to see you learn and show for her as well as your novice viewers. 🙂
Jamieleigh, how intelligent would you say that budgies are in comparison to their larger parrot cousins? I am going to get a bird companion, and I'm aware that budgies are substantially easier to manage than larger parrots (which is not to say that I think they're an 'easy option' - I realise that they still need a lot of time, effort, mental stimulation, etc in order to be happy). I was given a budgie as a birthday present by a misguided, but well meaning Aunt, when I was 6 years old, and kept him until he passed away 10 years later, which was absolutely heart breaking. (I'm 42 now). I totally fell in love with the little guy - trained him to fly from the cage to my shoulder, and he would ride around the house in my shirt pocket. So, I know well that budgies have a level of personality and character totally out of proportion to their physical stature. Being older and wiser now, I could cope with a bird a rung or two up the size ladder, and yet I'm still tempted to go with what I already know. The factors which are most important to me in a companion animal are intelligence and 'interactivity'. Basically, to know that the bird knows who I am, and treats me differently than it would any random person. If the bird is capable of learning a few words, that would be fantastic, but by no means necessary. I would really like a bird that I can pet as well (head scritches only of course). Which species do you think I should choose, between Budgie, Cockatiel, and GC Conure? Or do you think I should consider another species altogether? I would be extremely grateful for any advice which you could give me (this also goes for any other experienced bird owners who feel like chiming in). Thanks very much! Cheers. 😊 😃🐦
First decide what kind of poop can you tolerate, then decide where will all the packages of seed, pellets ( spare bags of pellets they won’t eat), treat sticks, extra perches, travel cage, extra toys, piles of newspaper for bedding, large box of millet (because buying small bits is overpriced), sick cage, cage cleaning supplies, bird swings, bird bath equipment, medical box, play gym, chopping veg equipment, spare food water bowls. Things that you buy by mistake that are substandard, because, it’s near impossible to find good products for birds in the pet store, at least, that is what I found. Food dishes that are too deep. Water dishes with no perch attached. Fake formed perches that badly mimic a natural branch. All this not even, including the cage ( this is just budgie size stuff, larger things for conures and cockatiels). Oh, you also would do well to have basic wood working equipment to make a better play gym or adapt one and make natural perches from safe branches, so you will need the hardware. Keep in mind, I have heard of very few bird sitters for when you want to leave town. Look into that first before getting a bird. Ask at your local private bird store, for bird sitters. This is just a start, google the pros and cons of each bird you are thinking of, then weigh the choices. Consider how long the average life of the bird is as well. Most would want to get a young bird and you would not know the sex. If you end up with a female, you will need fake eggs, which you can order online. Then there will be long stretches where your bird is not available, nurturing her fake eggs...This is just a snippet, of what you will encounter. The bird whichever you choose, will bring you joy, but, also challenge you greatly.
Thanks so much for this video! It gives me some ideas on how I can include our budgies more into our everyday life. I love those beautiful natural timber bird stands that you have, I will have to buy or make my own to put around the house.
My budgie never stands still alone except when hes sleeping. He would 100% always fly to me or anyone he can go. He can freefly but people said that budgies are too small to freefly and he loves cuddles when hes sleepy and once he got out of the cage. I love him😍
I wasn't sure about getting a budgie, it was recommended to me to get one to be a companion bird while I work from home every day but I was thinking I'd want a different kind of bird. But watching Blueberry be such a little buddy to the family during the day in this made me realize that a budgie would be a great friend to me while working :)
I wish my buggies were trained that well but they only go on my shoulder I can’t bring them anywhere in the house they just fly away to their cage. Btw blueberry is so adorable.
They are so curious, don't want to miss a thing. They have their own likes and dislikes and can tell when something in their cage has changed. My moms budgie can talk, 'kisses, clever boy, cheeky budgie, etc, and also wolf whistles. Got 2 budgies myself, very possessive.
I had a Lutino budgie when I was a kid called Seddie absolutely loved him to bits, he was very very friendly and loved people and our dog Rebel, although rebel was afraid of him, he wouldn’t come in the room if seddie was out of his cage
Thanks for sharing. Little Blueberry is so so adorable. It was fun to watch him eat, play, shower and cuddle. Do Buggies talk? If so does Blueberry talk? Is blueberry or your other cute birds potty trained???
Budgies really are the most underrated parrot ever. They’re a complete joy every minute.
agreed
Very true. But they don't stay still. Which is cute, but I'm partial to Rosey Bourkes.
They are not parots
@@zaidhassani9176 They are. They are one of the smallest but still a parrot. You just haven't been educated on parrots.
Zaid Hassani they are parrots and capable of talking
My bird heard him telling those other birds how to make their nest and well she sure had a lot to say back 🤣
Miah Chambliss mine too!! 😂
Mine did too! 🤣🤣
He's definitely shouting ( HELP ME! )
I hope people (specially birds owners: who are usually good sensitive people) will understand one day that birds belong to the skys and not to the living room.

they have the parrot beak and talons, so therefore are parrots. also, all parrots are part of the family Psittacidae, which includes budgies as well.
They probably say that because in their head it’s “they are a parakeet, not a parrot” which makes zero sense 🤣🤣🤣
I cringe when people try to convince others that they’re not parrots when, they 100% are, they’re just the smallest of the parrots. 💜
Aren't parrots birds lol

My little Joey Bird I caught flying around outside when I was alittle older the Capri is was my best friend and my very first and only real relationship with something other then my 2 siblings.
Joey got me through many hard times and the day he died was the worst ever. He was free to fly around our house and joined us at the dinner table all the time. He had a few words he often said , and I could take him outside with no problems.

What a perfect day for a Blueberry, and a Capri. Your a good Mom Jamie! Bless you all
I just admire the way you are raising ur daughter .
For sure Blueberry is a huge part
Ur daughter is so gentle !!
I was super curious as to if you made or bought your sprouts, I would be super interested in a sprout video
Those looked like store bought sprouts from the look of the container but I second the need for a sprouting video! Sprouting is so good, especially for budgies because it closely mimics their wild diets!
What is it sprouted from is my question. I have done mung bean sprouts before. They are easy. This looks much smaller
SeabassFishbrains I’d like to know for myself! I miss sprouts on sandwiches... the grocery stores around here won’t carry them anymore because they go off so quickly.
Look up a Bioset Germinator. It’s amazing and makes seed sprouting pretty effortless and foolproof. I’ve been using one for years.
These sprouts are from alfalfa seeds.
Great video, UA-cam needs more high quality budgie info like this!
This was so cute. It just shows that budgies can make great interactive members of a flock.
Sweet little guy. Please - be really careful about him being on the floor. I am sure he is really quick to avoid getting trapped but he is so much smaller than your other birds. He could easily get overlooked under someone's feet or a laundry basket.

Do you think Blue tamed quicker because he wasn't flighted and therefore dependent upon you to get him place to place those first crucial days? Also, just a safety tip for small birds. I forego shoes when my birds are loose. Then I can feel them by my feet and am more aware to not step on them. Thanks.
Capri, Jamieleigh & Dave, I am truly enjoying your series & commentary about Blueberry-Budgie Womack & the wonderful addition to your family that Blueberry is. 🍒😊💖
Awwww lol Blueberry talking to the wild birds is so stinking cute! I've never seen a budgie chill like that either, so sweet with Capri. 🥰
I love the baby bird chirps! 🥰 I have a two month old budgie and his name is Hulk. I don't want him to grow up because he's so adorable as a baby.
Normally you can sorta tell what gender they are, boy or girl, when the budgie is between 1-3 months old. Hopefully this'll help you a little bit.
Edit: Haha! My four budgies perked up when I played the noise of Blueberry chirping. They didn't respond though.
Blueberry is an absolute sweetheart! I find male birds more friendlier than females. I think your daughter is right , blueberry is a boy.
Your daughter is the next generation bird whisperer , just like her mom. So sweet!
She is so precious! I wish my two boy budgies would be as brave as her.
Awww. So cute! I absolutely loved this video! I can't wait for him to be able to fly! Budgies flying around is just the cutest thing ever!
Your daughter is adorable! I love watching her interaction with Blueberry.
I'm reminded of being a part of my friends daughter's life, watching her grow up learning horse training naturally from her father. She was 2 years old when I first met them. Her father would have her be part of many horse trainings he did for people. Now, a beautiful young woman, finished with college, she trains horses for other people.
Thank you for sharing this glimpse into your daughter and Blueberry's day.
I had a blue budgie when I was Capri's age. He was the funniest, craziest little energizer bunny but the sweetest pet ever. This video has bought back some very happy memories. Thanks 😍💙
I love how your daughter is so mature
Aaaaaawwww JamieLeigh and Capri!!!! Blueberry is so adorable while you pet him :))) I love parakeets and they are so precious and intelligent. Thank you for sharing Blueberry and showing how important tiny parrots are too! I owned a parakeet at one time and adored him. They should not be sold so cheaply. They are precious little angels and so smart and lovable! Thank you for this video! Love, big hugs, birdie kisses. Barb, Beenie, Baby spirit :)))
Quality control bird is an important job. Thank goodness you have Blue who is willing to do it😂
Blue berry is awesome. I love your videos. Birds of a feather. People underestimate budgies. Sometimes a liitle thing can be a big deal. Thanks for thd video!!!!❤💚💜💙💛🌈
I feel like I totally missed something. When did y'all get blueberry? Where did he come from? Did I miss the video about that?
They posted a video about getting "him" a little while ago (maybe 2 or three months ago?) but he's been chirping in the background of their videos for months now (very recognizable if you're familiar with budgie song), he's still totes a baby bird though!
Lol same I was so confused
guys!! blueberry is a female! i could tell because of the color of her cere!!
Blueberry was got as a way to teach the viewers how to train a budgie.(small birds in general) the plan was to get an untamed bird and then give him back the original owner but the original owners decided they changed their mind so now blueberry is theirs.

lovely..... budgies are native birds here in Australia. They're green in colour and usually in large flocks... so they're very social.
My 2 budgies, males we believe, that we have had for 2 months still are to scared to leave their cage and I have tried every budgie taming video,they are even to scared to eat millet if I put it in their cage and I started moving around
Are they scared of the millet or your hand when you put it in? If they’re scared of the actual millet you might want to just put it near their cage for a few days or even on top of their cage so they know that it’s not anything scary and after that try putting it in the inside edge of their cage. I did this with my birds since they used to be freaked out of a certain toy I had for them but I know that they would love it if they weren’t scared and now they do love the toy after I did that
We had various buddies for around 25 yrs. I miss the constant chatter. Blueberry is beautiful and a lucky bird.
The bath was my favorite, he looked so adorable wet. He also looks like he loved it.
She's adorable!
My experience w/parakeets &/or budgies. Seeing how young Blueberry is & the “bleaching” around the cere “nostrils”, I’d say that “he” is a “she”... most young budgie/keets have a purplish or blue to their ceres (think noses or nostrils) but with more white out or “bleaching” is usually indicates a female.
I look forward to more videos of Blueberry, so adorable!
💙*insert a blueberry emoji here*💙
Okay so two questions
1: does blueberry have a cage?
2: if not how does he get 12 hours of sleep in the living room on a foraging tree?
I ask because I have been having a hard time finding a quiet spot in the house where my parrotlet can get 12 hours of uninterrupted sleep due to the noise my family makes around the house .
I was wondering about a cage as well. And also, does a bird know instinctively to avoid a burning fireplace?
Monica Gebeau Martin you probably shouldn’t risk it
@@kitten375 the cage is in Capris room
@@acacia8855 Thank you
@@kitten375 No worries! They have 2 QNA videos about blueberry now. 😊
Blueberry has the life! I had a yellow budgie named Bananas who was a girl for sure and she was the sweetest! I loved her so much and would love to have another one, but I have four rescue cats and wouldn't be able to let a budgie out the cage and I would never have a bird I couldn't let be free and out of the cage all day. 😘
Blueberry has all of you very well trained.
You make it sound so easy to go through a day with a budge. I have two budgies one named Sky and the other Moon. You sure have some talent with birds. 😊
Loved this! You’ve helped a lot in improving my own flock’s life!
The cuddles really got me (Capri and BlueBerry are so cute) 🥺
You probably already know this but just in case you don't, you can easily sprout seeds for a FRACTION of the price of storebought sprouts
Thinking Blueberry is a bootiful girlie 🥰
Budgies are great!
Awwww blueberry having a shower is adorable. I have a budgie myself i call her princess shes so cute. Shes actually on one of my videos.
Thank you so much😍, i changed the food for my budgies, and they eat that incredibly good. The greys are still looking at it, 🙄, as at every new thing in their Voliere. But finally the hunger will be stronger ✌
Capri is growing up and being raised by the type of family I can only hope to one day provide for my future child. 🖤 bless y’all.
I love the bigger parrots but this little guy is so cute and just seems so content with everything, but then again, why wouldn't he be content living with the best bird people in the world.
Blueberry calls out to other budgies. She really need one. Humans can't be a budgies flock, because we may understand their calls, but we are not able to answer the way they need. Please get another budgie as soon as possible. Yes, your daughter maybe won't be happy, when Blueberry stops being so much with her. But it's for the health of the birds and I'm sure, you will be able to tame both. Budgies don't behave like bigger parrots. I can understand the behavior of budgies, I even recognize their different calls, but I can't understand your other birds. That is not bad. You seem doing so good with those other birds, but maybe you just haven't learned to understand a budgie yet. It really takes time. Please get a second one. Watch them. Their interaction. Their calls. You will understand, that there is something, a human just can't give to a budgie. And believe me, their mental and social wellbeing is so important.
So sweet ❤️😍❤️
I love that he can use the ropes to explore all the different places! You guys are the best ❤️
I love how your baby (who’s becoming more and more identical to her daddy by the second) has learned the tricks of her mommy. Seeing her training with HIM 😆 (issa boy) is so adorable. You’re teaching her well Momma. ♥️
Blueberry..the breakfast helper. So little and ADORABLE!!!!!❤️❤️❤️
In a month is the budgie that I get old enough to come home!! I can't wait 🤩🤩🤩😍😍😍
I love how he follows you everywhere you go! So cute.
Aww your family is so sweet! Love blueberry!
your daughter is amazing towards the parrot and her budgie you and dave teach her so well one day she be just like her parents
I love Budgies! I am so happy you got one and are showing they can be nice pets. ❤
A few other things...
It would be good to encourage the bird to use more very skiny perches as that helps strengthen foot grip and balance, which is healthier than most of your thicker perches.
Waiting a year to gender you bird might not tell you anything new. Your bird has light blue cere with white around the nostrils, it is a female and won't become a male royal blue. However, not all females enter into breeding condition where they get the brown or crusty cere, so if you were waiting on that, it might not happen either. And a lot of females who are content never lay eggs. So your Blueberry might not ever develop to anything much different than what she already is, the definite female of a light blue cere with white around the nostrils.
I don't know if you can educate your cute daughter that the bird is likely female, light blue is girls royal blue is boys, but I would like to see you learn and show for her as well as your novice viewers. 🙂
Jamieleigh, how intelligent would you say that budgies are in comparison to their larger parrot cousins? I am going to get a bird companion, and I'm aware that budgies are substantially easier to manage than larger parrots (which is not to say that I think they're an 'easy option' - I realise that they still need a lot of time, effort, mental stimulation, etc in order to be happy). I was given a budgie as a birthday present by a misguided, but well meaning Aunt, when I was 6 years old, and kept him until he passed away 10 years later, which was absolutely heart breaking. (I'm 42 now). I totally fell in love with the little guy - trained him to fly from the cage to my shoulder, and he would ride around the house in my shirt pocket. So, I know well that budgies have a level of personality and character totally out of proportion to their physical stature.
Being older and wiser now, I could cope with a bird a rung or two up the size ladder, and yet I'm still tempted to go with what I already know. The factors which are most important to me in a companion animal are intelligence and 'interactivity'. Basically, to know that the bird knows who I am, and treats me differently than it would any random person. If the bird is capable of learning a few words, that would be fantastic, but by no means necessary. I would really like a bird that I can pet as well (head scritches only of course).
Which species do you think I should choose, between Budgie, Cockatiel, and GC Conure? Or do you think I should consider another species altogether? I would be extremely grateful for any advice which you could give me (this also goes for any other experienced bird owners who feel like chiming in). Thanks very much! Cheers. 😊 😃🐦
First decide what kind of poop can you tolerate, then decide where will all the packages of seed, pellets ( spare bags of pellets they won’t eat), treat sticks, extra perches, travel cage, extra toys, piles of newspaper for bedding, large box of millet (because buying small bits is overpriced), sick cage, cage cleaning supplies, bird swings, bird bath equipment, medical box, play gym, chopping veg equipment, spare food water bowls. Things that you buy by mistake that are substandard, because, it’s near impossible to find good products for birds in the pet store, at least, that is what I found. Food dishes that are too deep. Water dishes with no perch attached. Fake formed perches that badly mimic a natural branch. All this not even, including the cage ( this is just budgie size stuff, larger things for conures and cockatiels). Oh, you also would do well to have basic wood working equipment to make a better play gym or adapt one and make natural perches from safe branches, so you will need the hardware. Keep in mind, I have heard of very few bird sitters for when you want to leave town. Look into that first before getting a bird. Ask at your local private bird store, for bird sitters. This is just a start, google the pros and cons of each bird you are thinking of, then weigh the choices. Consider how long the average life of the bird is as well. Most would want to get a young bird and you would not know the sex. If you end up with a female, you will need fake eggs, which you can order online. Then there will be long stretches where your bird is not available, nurturing her fake eggs...This is just a snippet, of what you will encounter. The bird whichever you choose, will bring you joy, but, also challenge you greatly.
Thanks so much for this video! It gives me some ideas on how I can include our budgies more into our everyday life. I love those beautiful natural timber bird stands that you have, I will have to buy or make my own to put around the house.
I love the relationship you have with your burb friends!! So wholesome 😍❤️❤️❤️
My budgie never stands still alone except when hes sleeping. He would 100% always fly to me or anyone he can go. He can freefly but people said that budgies are too small to freefly and he loves cuddles when hes sleepy and once he got out of the cage. I love him😍
I wasn't sure about getting a budgie, it was recommended to me to get one to be a companion bird while I work from home every day but I was thinking I'd want a different kind of bird. But watching Blueberry be such a little buddy to the family during the day in this made me realize that a budgie would be a great friend to me while working :)
I don't know who I love more, Blueberry or Capri❤
Absolutely LOVED this video tour of Blues day 💕 Extremely informative & entertaining 💕 Capri is an AWESOME bird mom 💕
Love you all 💕😘💕
That is a wonderful video Jamie! Wow 🤩 that little blueberry’s got it made!!!!!!
I wish my buggies were trained that well but they only go on my shoulder I can’t bring them anywhere in the house they just fly away to their cage. Btw blueberry is so adorable.
Absolutely ADORABLE!!! I LOVE parakeets!!!
A fluffed up Blueberry is absolutely adorable!
Awww😄❤️😄
Adorable parrot 💋💋
I love parrot sooo much 💋💕💋💕
So so cute! Capri holding wet Blueberry was adorable😍
I just got a baby budgie and I named it Kirby! Your vids have helped a crazy ton and he can already target. Thanks for your help!
They are so curious, don't want to miss a thing. They have their own likes and dislikes and can tell when something in their cage has changed. My moms budgie can talk, 'kisses, clever boy, cheeky budgie, etc, and also wolf whistles. Got 2 budgies myself, very possessive.
I had a Lutino budgie when I was a kid called Seddie absolutely loved him to bits, he was very very friendly and loved people and our dog Rebel, although rebel was afraid of him, he wouldn’t come in the room if seddie was out of his cage
Thanks for sharing. Little Blueberry is so so adorable. It was fun to watch him eat, play, shower and cuddle. Do Buggies talk? If so does Blueberry talk? Is blueberry or your other cute birds potty trained???
