- Meet Eli!
A friend couldn't take care of Eli, a Brotogerias or Canary-winged or BeeBee parakeet! Cute little thing!
Welcome Eli - what are my first impressions? You'll see his stool sample, which I took to the vet, his cage and meet him too!

I have a Bebe and they can a bit crazy and loud.
Yes, but pretty awesome, right?
@@ParrotBliss I love her to bits. She is a funny little bird. I’m thinking about getting another one.
Hello thanks again for the support u do for me and informative videos u do to us. I really appreciate ur time and effort u decided to give to share what u learned about those blessing creatures ❤😊
You are so welcome
OMT! MY DREAM BIRD! They are the sweetest birds ever! I'm getting one in the next week or so. The Best birds ever! They are true bliss. Congratulations
Congratulations to you too! Where are you getting yours from?
Birds n Paradise bird store in California. I've been looking for a long time
@@eabird4358 there is a local breeder here, but sounds like they aren’t breeding these anymore-
we have an introduced related species, yellow chevroned parakeet in southern cali that are fairly abundant.
Yes, that’s another name for Eli-
That little dude is soooo cute
And I adored him! Unfortunately, he had a congenital issue :( and the vet said there was nothing we could do. Still I was glad to have him surrendered to me and for him to have gotten lots of love. He had a few good weeks...
@@ParrotBliss awww that is very unfortunate but I know that with you those couple of weeks were wonderful
Thanks, Mike. It was nice to be there for him. :)
Glad to see that you got a Bee Bee Parrot. Now your flock will be complete once you get a Quaker Parrot, which is plentiful in South Florida, both in pet shops and in the wild. If you have a choice, would you pick a green, blue, or lutino Quaker?
Had a Quaker before- he was green. Now I just appreciate the wild ones flying by-
I have one but is it a parrot or parrokeet? And can you teach it to talk? I hace a quaker and it doesnt shut up. Talks like crazy i love it.
Parakeet means long tail, so it's both. Yes, I believe they can learn to talk some, but not like a Quaker.
@@ParrotBliss mine has a short tail.
OMG! You got a little Brotogeris. Looks like a canary wing. Really adorable. Did you know Gloria B. (The Caique breeder) breeds them? She told me she was phasing them out and just concentrating on Caiques. I remember growing up seeing Babe’s in Woolworths. They were about $50.00! I begged my mother for one. She said no. I already had a budgie, Josephine Bonaparte, a turtle named Muddy and a miniature pinscher named Ginger. Of course being 5 you know who took care of the menagerie. I understand Bebe are sweet and affectionate. He is absolute perfection! ❤️
A welcome surrender for me! Yes, I know Gloria breeds them, didn’t know she’s phasing them out- looked on her site in case Eli is healthy enough and needs a BeeBee friend… Love that you wanted one when you were young!
@@ParrotBliss if you get a mate for Eli and they have babies, let me know, I want one.
You should check with Gloria. I think she still has some that that she breeds. 😊
@@1hawaii21 I don't know who Gloria is, I am in NY
Eli is so cute. He might get along with the Linnies or greencheeks.
They do have a loud contact call from what I've heard, about the same as a green cheek/lovebird. Will you ever get lovebirds?
The Grey Cheeked Parakeet is another member of brotogeris genus that I like.
I thought the same, he could be friends with a Linnie or GCC
They are super common here on Brasil
Yes, I’ve seen videos. You are lucky!
Aww maybe Ale will become friends with your new bird! My mom had a Bebe parrot when I was a little kid and had to rehome him because he kept biting me. It was probably me sticking my hand in the cage or something. Now i feel bad about it but I was maybe 4 or 5 so I don't even remember the bird.
I was hoping he and Ale might hit it off… 4 or 5 would be hard to remember-
Wax paper and feet stretching
Oh must be so exciting!!!
Absolutely!
Hello! Whom would you recomend is easier to take care a bee bee parrot or a pionus and as only one bird?
Either needs another companion, but the Bee Bee would have a harder time being alone, as we can’t provide everything they need.
@@ParrotBliss thank you!
Hi! How is he now?
The vet said he had a congenital liver issue. I only had him for about a month. :(
Also don't know for sure but most I've seen have beaks that shape
Odd shape...
What are the tree branches that you use in all your bird cages? Please don't tell me to look on the internet the different kinds are contradicting and confusing. I want to know what YOU use.
Thank you for your time this means the world to me. Joe, New Bern NC I LOVE THIS CHANNEL!!!!!
Eli a good name i can barely pronounce it's a beautiful name. What does it mean?
I don’t know what it means- and I’m going to change it a little 😀
Se parecen a los mios
Que especie son los tuyos?
Como diferencia entre macho y hembra ??
I have been trying to get one forever!!! That is the same family of birds the grey-cheeked parakeets are from. They don't breed well in captivity. I found a breeder in California but does not sell them anymore, trying to get her numbers up. Grey-cheeked parakeet are also in the Brotogeris family.
Yes the Grey-cheeked are beautiful! Hope you find one!
@@ParrotBliss had one years ago b4 CITES, he was adorable!
He is an absolutely DARLING little bird.. he looks smart and lively. Enjoy your quarantine, Eli, then have a blissful time with Kaylin. Xx
He is! What a sweet gift I received in him! I’m grateful!
Hello, I have couple of questions. Resently I stumbled over somebody who has wild Brotogeris chrysoptera, they have shorter tails, but longer more protruding beaks. The male was taken from a cat I think, which mangled its right wing and the female stayed with him, no matter what and couldn't be chased away so they took her in aswell. They are not shy climb on and search people for help, extremelly noisy and agressive in general. If they don't need you they'll run after you and attack you, they do bite and tear skin.
Now the question. What do you feed yours to stay healthy, I sume they are similar enough.
The person near killed them by starvation trying to feed them parrot food for lovebirds, which he thought they are, but they wouldn't ca't eat anything else than sunflower seeds and these just alittlebit. I gave them fresh apple, which they took pretty well and let them in the garden to observe them for a bit and they started hunting and vorasiously eating insects, worms andeven tryiedcatching small lizards. So apparently they need animal food too and happen they really like fish, mealworms and sugar in general. Now few weeks later they are in much better shape and the shine returned, however I didn't know that insects and worms are such significant part of their diet.
Yes, they can be a significant part of their diet. Like so many animals, they will eat what they can and what they find. In captivity they woudl eat pellets and fresh vegetables. The owners can try scrambled eggs and green, leafy vegetables.
How cool that they rescued him and she came too! Awesome!
@@ParrotBliss Great, thanks for the reply. Just one more question, I am not very familliar what are these pellets. I am in French Guiana and I don't know what to look for.
They aren't sold all over the world. It is food for parrots in dry form that offers the vitamins and minerals they need.
@@ParrotBliss Thanks for the info. Pity I can'find them here. I'll look to order from mainland France if I can find.
@@ParrotBlissI sarted bringing a bit of scrambled eggs with some bird mineral+vitamins formula mixed in and they love it. Also daily fresh fruits and vegetables from local species, they do recognise them, instantly, however they are very conservative and wouldn't eat anything they are not familiar with. From the european fruits only apple, because they where "forced" to eat it the first timewhen I gave it to them, otherwise guava, mombins, sapotilla and other that growhere and they probably ate in the wild.
How to distinguish a male from a female on this specie ????🤔
Answered on other post
Is this a canary winged or yellow winged brotogeris or gustiva? I was looking at a pair of cobalt winged gustiva I'm going to get a new member to my flock soon I think animal people can't just stop at 1 haha ill be getting my 10th flock member on sunday
Broto hybrid- I want to see a pic!
This bird is either a White Winged Parakeet (Brotogeris versicolurus), or a Yellow Chevroned (Canary Winged) Parakeet (Brotogeris chiriri). Both are now established as escapees in parts of California, Florida, and Puerto Rico.
BeeBee Parrots aka Tovi Parrots, Orange Chinned Parrots, or Dwarf Parrots (Brotogeris jugularis) were exported as wild trapped birds in large numbers to the US until the Federal ban on psittacine imports during the last century because of psittacosis. They have shorter tail feathers than Brotogeris versicolurus and B. chiriri, and have an orange area of varying size and visibility under the lower jaw (jugularis).
After the ban was relaxed with the requirement of quarantine protocols with tetracycline treatment to eliminate Chlamydia psittaci, wild trapped Canary Wings were imported in huge numbers into the US as BeeBee Parrots. Canary Wings and White Wings were until 1997 considered different subspecies of B. versicolurus, and differ mainly in the coloration of the light colored wing area. As I'm nearly blind, I won't try to identify your specimen.
I've never kept Brotogeris; I find their relatively elongated, rather forward pointing bills somewhat unappealing, and they are as raucous as small Aratinga species.
I saw a breeder of Brotos this weekend- that was fun!
She showed me an article that spoke about the Brotos you mentioned that escaped into the wild and have survived- and bred hybrids. It was a great article because it had pictues of the wings that clearly showed the difference between the Yellow-wing and white-wing vs the hybrid.
Elon is definately a hybrid! (In case you are confused, I shfited his name from Eli to Elon)
Elon is, of course, adjusting to a new home and environment, although he came with his cage. I'm glad he has one consistent thing for himself. Anyway, he's hardly made a sound!
His beak has a funny curve to it- I wondered if it is because he's a hybrid. He looked funny to me, not quite like a Canary-wing. Now I know why!
What species did you breed?
Thank you for writing to me- losing your sight... not an easy thing, so I appreciate your writing to me even more!
