All these tips are good common sense! I'm glad I've never had a ceiling fan. And once I get my budgies finger-trained so they can fly around, the dining/living room area where their cage is can be closed off from the rest of the house and front door. I would also tape a sign on the outside of the closed doors, "Birds in flight. Do not enter!"
i also have a piece of advice related to windows... stickers dont always fix the issue!! i remember hearing people tell me to put stickers on my window so the bird could tell its a surface, but one day my poor budgie was startled by a loud noise in the house and he flew straight into the window, even with the stickers on it... i feel very lucky that he only seemed to be a little shook, no injuries or anything. after that i ended up getting a paper curtain because they're fairly affordable and require basically zero effort to install. i heard they can sometimes grow mold, but i haven't had that issue thankfully.
@@ikeda-ren thank you so much for this information. I had looked into getting some stickers myself at one point. So glad your little one was not hurt and that you found another solution.
You make an excellent point, remember when i told you the story of Crypto flying out, and before we got Crypto we had Cosmo, he is a red throated conure, once the broom frightened him, he flew into the glass door and got a purple mark on his beak, his beak is a light color, so you could see the purple, but he was totally fine after a few seconds. This might sound harsh, but we still got her here, and she is 100 percent ok, so 3 years ago when i got my gouldian finch, we let her out one evening, and little did we know what was gonna happen next, we poured 1 centimeter of sunflower oil into a pan, we were about too cook, but the oil was completely cool down, we hadn't switched on the stove, we wanted Flutter ( my gouldian finches name ) we didn't want her to get get to close to the kitchen, and we forgot to cover the lid of the cool oil and she fell right into that oil, i was soooooo devastated, we washed her we cleaned her, luckily it was molting time for them round about in November, so that's another example of make sure everything is bird safe, sorry for such a long message, thank you for this video, hope you have a great day there❤❤❤
The first time I got a budgie I was doing everything wrong like I got a round teeny tiny cage has no toys water and seed only diet and maybe some bread just 2 plastic sticks and I got it a and a house for breeding with his girlfriend got 2 kids both died because they tough to death while trying to get its own part of the tiny cage but later I will get 2 budgies square big cage 2 doors for nesting house and add litter so the egg doesn’t break and 5 toys and 3 natural wood pouches and an platform am I missing anything or something I can improve

@@Firefox14958 so glad they were ok. We all learn everyday.
@ElvisMySweetBudgie so true ❤️♥️
It’s been my experience that birds also cannot see window screens.
@@steve.2784 so true, it’s not as dangerous as glass is but they can still break their neck if they are flying fast enough!
My bird Pippin or Pippy has been watching way too much Peppa Pig so I showed him this video and he liked it
