ive recently gotten one as i woke up one morning and it was just in my house, as i live in south africa i knew it was a pet, i did all i could to try find the original owner and nothing, so i decided i was going to keep it and this will help a lot to keep charlie happy for as long as possible, thank you
Please Read! If you are going to get a kakariki please do focus on the heart disease section. This is very true. My kakariki was a present. I hadn't researched for it. I researched for a budgie. My kakariki then didn't get the right treatment because there isn't much information online. This is a great video! And helped me understand about my old bird a lot! Thank you so much for clearing this up! It has made me settle from his death! Your amazing love of pets!
I absolutely love these videos you do about these smaller, lesser known birds!! You've really piqued my curiosity as to what kinds of birds would be most ideal for my future aviary. Thank you so much for these videos!!
Everything you said is 100% true!! We love our guy, but he is a super messy eater and BUSY! He's out of his cage whenever we're home because he needs to roam around and yes, get into everything! Eats the edge of books and magazines, chews on the edge of wood cabinets or window sills, so we need to give a lot of soft wood or yucca chew toys. He is on a constant lookout for a girlfriend and regurgitates on anything shiny. He gets really possessive over certain objects and tries to bite our feet all the time :D
I was gifted a couple of 1-year-olds a few days ago. I immediately had their nails done but the female (a lutino like yours!) Did NOT handle it well and I thought she'd been squeezed too tight or even broke her leg or something... I was so worried she wasn't going to make the night but thankfully she pulled through ❤
I’m so glad this video exists. I was thinking of getting a kakariki but I could never find any actual information on them, anything I did find was so vague. Thank you for making this, now I’m definitely going to get one!
My kakariki is around 3 years old, and he is so smart, he talks all the time,but its very nice. I’m working on developing a better connection with him. We rescued buggies and he really loves listening to them talk alllll day
💛🌟 🐥🐣 Hello, thank you for this very informative video. Gorgeous sweet birds!!♥️🦜♥️🙂 What lucky birds to have you!! Very nice set up! Thank you for sharing!!🎉
I love kakarikis! The sounds they make are so distinct and honestly I'm not sure I would be okay with hearing that all the time. I'm sure their activity level might be a little much for me, too. I actually have 4 bourkes and your videos really helped me a lot with figuring out what birds were right for me. I started off with just 2 but quickly realized I'd made the right choice, so about a year later I added 2 more to the flock! Now I have 3 lovely extroverted boys and 1 adorable introverted girl. :) I always enjoy your videos and admire how you manage to keep so many pets happy and healthy! I feel like 4 birds is a lot for me! :D
Still my favorite bird so far. They're so weird, but I can't get over their adorable noises they make. I finally managed to find someone who has hand fed cream and blue kakarikis, so now I'm getting two more to add to my flock soon ❤️
I miss my little blue kakariki so much. Sammy was a beautiful little girl who we only had for a year or so. She laid a couple of eggs but it was just too much for her. The third egg got stuck, we found her very unwell one morning but it was too late. The next morning we got the call from our vet to say they'd done everything they could but that was it, she was gone. Kakarikis are stunning and such gentle birds.
I love this bird. They are so cute and playful - with a charming laugh. Also, being a ground parrot from New Zealand (a cold climate with few predators) they are not very heat tolerate, love investigating, and are very trusting.
Ive had mine for probably a year and half now. He is such a blessing. At times i think he has said words. Just not clear. But he is lucky he is alive. The part about the getting into everything. Well one of those was a door that shut behind me. Lost his bottom beak. Oh my was i beside myself. Lost the whole bottom beak. The vet was not hopeful. All he could suggest was to feed him wet food. He is such a smart bird. Was not keen on that so he started to eat from the spoon. Instead of me trying to syringe it in. Was not keen on that because i felt his top beak was getting undermined. So yea i make sure he has coffee ground seeds. But honestly i only do it just in case. Because he eats nearly everything like normal. Has a very strong tongue. I just have to make sure i cut his top beak back with a bit of a point. Been like that for 8mths probably. Never grew back. On the funny side though he has a romantic thing going with my little Turquoise. She is still with him.... Tobias the budgie is her side piece ;). But she has refused sexual activity with my Kakariki Since he cant do the throw up thing. haha. But recently she has started to let him. Its absolutely ridiculous as he is 3 times her size. Sorry this is long. Anyway not only is this Turk letting him, the budgie she has been trying to lure my female conure in on her debauched ways haha. No eggs yet so not even sure the Turk is a female.
Awe I’m sorry about sizzle :( I recently lost my lovebird wasabi he was a Dutch blue and was only a couple months old. He also had passed away because of a heart condition. Btw l love your birds and your videos always make my day!!
I love your hanging play area with the spiral rope perch and others stuff! I saw it in the beginning of the video. I want to do something like that when we get a new house with a bird room!
Out of all your flock, I’m obsessed with Summer! I’m so glad you highlighted this species. Love how she scratches her food like a chicken. Adorable chubby lil doll. Also, I love watching Monty trying to boss the whole flock.. even from across the room. hahahaha
I have 2 :) they Are super curious!!! But they get bored quickly and you have to give them A LOT of freeflight. But since they can get tame and are interested in everyting, even our trash, its fun to watch them. With kakaraki it never gets Boring lemme tell you. But they dont get like 100% tame.. i know a lot of ppl who have them
Thanks for the video, it helped me a lot when I was deciding on which bird to get! But, I gotta clarify one thing: nope, the female isn't loud at all. Sometimes, she would be loud very briefly, but usually she's doing cute little sounds. The male though... he IS loud. And he DOES continuous sounds all over again. In Germany, they're called "goat parakeets" because their sound kind of resembles the sound a goat makes. I call him my little goat machine gun LOL
I have a smol cute yellow green red Kakeriki and she is the cutest thing and she follows y’a around like a little doge and she’s only 3 months old SUCH A CUTE BIRB
I loved this video! Summer is adorable and reminds me of my Kakariki Ricky so much! They are like twins! I was wondering if Summer frequently does this bowing gesture in one spot for 30 seconds-1 minute when Kakariki’s “present” to their mates although there is no male kakariki around. I noticed my Kakariki does this often and at first I thought it might’ve been tail bobbing but after lots of tests and taking her to the vet she’s perfectly healthy. FYI - My Kakariki is 3 years old.
I loved watching your Kakarikis.That was sooo sweet watching your little girl eat with her foot , just as my Timneh does.I had 2 Kakarikis a while ago for a few months.They were babies.One of my friends went on vacation and askes me to take care of them for a few months. I spoon fed them both . They had yellow heads with an all green body, I believe.They were awfuly cute. I just thoroughly enjoyed watching your Kakariki .It reminded me of the 2 little cuties i had.They seemed like they would be very easy to tame and bond.I love to hear you talk and watch all of your birdies, its alway very informative and i always learn something.Thank you soo much for sharing .Take care bye for now , be safe.
Hi I’m the third to comment yay btw I love u soooo much and I wanted to tell u that ur not like some ppl who take birds as a beautiful creatures to keep as living decor u take them and take good care of them that’s the best thing about u🙃like if u agree
Sorry another question, do they get alot with cockatiels,? my female cockatiel is very jealous, shes sad when she sees the kakariki on me....what can i do?Thanks
I had a olive pied kakariki, she sadly passed away this summer from what the vet assumed was a heart attack (never did obduction as I was too sad so I just wanted to burry her). I have a very fun Pied Boy who is such a curious little guy. He is very playful! They are such a wonderful species to have.
@@Loveofpets I am not quite sure, I bought her in a pet shop and when I asked them if they knew her age they said that she was there for over 3 years. I sadly only had her for a year. She was very traumatized by hands, but she loved hanging out with my budgie. She used to land on my hand occasionally. Sadly we had a very stressful situation here such as earthquakes and I think that took a toll on her :( I miss her daily! She was a very sweet bird
@@Loveofpets My new Kak I got from someone who was supposed to breed him but gave up on it. I am so glad he ended up with me because he has such a fun personality. Would be a shame if he was only for breeding when he is so playful and curious. His cage had no toys back there but he loves playing with foraging toys. Makes me sad to think he could have lived his life with no toys :(
Thanks for a lovely video. We have ordered a big cage for our pair of kakarikis. Now, the bar spacing is 1,6cm which is about 5/8 inches. Read that should be fine. After listening to you I get in doubt. Is 5/8 a hard no, or do you think it's doable?
I just received a turquoise kakariki for my birthday. We’ve always had birds growing up and it’s a passion of mine now in adulthood. I have two Indian ringnecks as well. One I personally raised from 3 weeks old. They are kept in a separate rooms though so no worries. I have the opportunity to have a mate for my kakariki but I really enjoy pet birds. I’m told it’s better for them to have a mate. If that is the case I would do it for him, happily. Does anyone have an opinion to share on whether they are better off paired, or would be just as happy single as a pet?
A little hello from France ! I love your videos, I'd love to have a bird and looking at all your videos is helping make my choice, thought not for now since I live in a little flat but my dream would be to have a room like yours ! Seems like paradise for me ahah. I would probably go for Lennies or Kakarikis I was wondering how long do you spend with them everyday ? Do you like just sit in your bird room ?
Your information is wonderful and your bird room is amazing. I would love to see a tour of your bird room along with the links of the ropes and things you have on your wall. Also how do you keep everything clean? What products do you use for cleaning?
Hi, I do have some your videos. Here is a link to perches and more that I use in my birdroom Bird Room Ideas www.amazon.com/shop/loveofpets?listId=2UIQ5JLHZZBKE&ref=idea_share_inf Here is my birdroom playlist Welcome to my Bird Room | Birdroom Tours: ua-cam.com/play/PL6uTBIckTWD5XDkb8EVXsxolU7N0gFx3o.html
I have a really important question! My kakariki had a tail feather pulled out by my Conure, after that he seemed fine, but today i went to pick my kakariki up as he cant fly and he lost 4 tail feathers as he slid out my hand His name is red, hes not yet tame either but this concerned me greatly ♡
Hi, the feathers will grow back unless he has a disease like beak and feathers disease etc. Sometimes with stress and handling the bird the feathers will fall out as a defense mechanism. Let him sit on your hand and avoid holding him in your hand as they don't like it and you could damage the feathers.
hi there, i’m thinking about getting a kakariki on the weekend, any tips for first time owners and do you recommend these beautiful birds for inexperienced owners?
Hello. I have a male and female kakariki, who are starting to lay eggs. I have their chick from previous litter too. The chick is now going in to the nesting box where mom kakariki is with her eggs. Should I remove the chick?
u said that they don't make a lot of noise, in my experience my kakariki has pick up word that i use when handling him and he usually talks and sings a lot if they know how to talk or whistle or sing, however its very rewording when u take ur bird out the cage and he says "love you." or "Hello" or what ever they pick up or are tort. If u dont like a lot of noise then i would not recommend to teach ur bird to sing s it often come out as screechy tune, but i would definitely teach them to talk. Also thank u for this video really helped as i was debating whether to clip or not clip my kakarikis wing as we live on a big far with lots of trees and hes dark green so he could easily be mistaken for a clump of leaves except from his red cap and there are 4 children who aren always aware if hes out or not, i have put it of for the winter as we dont spend as much time outside and there aren't any doors constantly open, but i have decided to not clip them based on what u said. he know re call so if he dose get out some time i can call him down, and when ever i walk into anther room he follows me and sits on my shoulder. thanks
Thank for the nice video. Keep it up. Educate people please. Thank you. I have 23 Kakarikies. 5 different colours. And yes they are dust free and like to bath a lot. And fly around explore. They are fun to watch. But they do not make the best pets. As they do not like to be handled for scratches. And never clip a Kakarikie’s wings. They get depressed. And yes as she is saying. They need a big cage or a big room. Mine have 10 feet X 24 foot room. And even that seems at times is not big enough. They are so much fun to watch. The more toys they have the better. And I find that to. They spin in the seed dish. I think it is just the way they think. Or the way they do. And not noisy. I just love them. Remember no bird should have clipped wings. Especially Kakarikies. I always say if a person can not handle a bird with out clipping the wings they should not have a bird.
I would never house different kinds of parrot or other bird in the same cage...that will end in disaster. If you have a large aviary you can mix budgies, zebra Finches or cockatiels with kakariki.
Love your videos! :) I have a video request; What type of bird(s) would you recommend for apartment living, with neighbors (sound-levels) in mind? Also, I'd love to see a video of just different meals/snacks/food bowls you prepare for your birds. :) Thank you! Happy Easter to you and your birds! ❤️
Thank you for the video! I was wondering if you could give me advice: I had a celestial parrotlet he was perfect breed not to loud and always just sat nearby me. I see there is a rescue Kakariki that I can adopt. But I dont want to be silly and jump into a new species of bird without understanding them properly hence me finding you amazing Chanel. Do you think if I was a good celestial parent that I would be able to also be a good Kakariki parent?
Im willing to buy a pair of kakarikes but im so nervous to buy a two females or males so can you explain more about how should i know the gender please and thank you so much for this wonderful video ❤️
I have a male Kakariki, I've had him for a couple of years now, he's 9 years old. I believe he was kept as a breeding stud, & was never socialised. We've built a decent relationship - I stroke him, & feed him by hand - but he is not comfortable out of his cage. When I leave the door open, play videos of Kakariki calls, he goes crazy, rushing around & calling, but he'll never leave the cage. Any suggestions as to how I can convince him he's safe to leave his cage would be welcome - I'm sure it would improve his life quality!
hello i have a question, i play music of canaries for my bird and he opens his mouth and tries to sing but nothing comes out, he use to sing like a lot, but now nothing, help
Hi, it's possible that he has a respiratory infection or air sack mites. Sometimes they go mute for no reason. Watch out for tail bobbing and mouth breathing and clicking or rasping sounds
My kakariki is a female cream color, very sweet looking. I love her, but for a while she is been eating her own poop 😢 I clean her cage sometimes twice a day, I give her the best seeds and fruits...I dont know what to do about it....any suggestions?
I lot of birds do eat their own poop and it's awful to watch. Can you put a grate in the cage so the poop goes through it? I have heard that they are lacking vitamins but not sure if it's true, I will have to do more research. Dogs do it to including my own dog ☹
@Loveofpets Thank you so much for replying to my comment. The poop falls to the tray/bottom of the cage, and there is the mettal linning or floor of the cage, and she manages to scoop it up with her long toes....I freak out everytime I see her doing that 😳 I give her vits in her water, and also a calcium bone, and she still eats poop 🤮 I guess thats normal...? 😳
Hi my bird is dropping and I’m scared if he is going to die he doesn’t want to climb or move I don’t know if he’s tried or not and when I carry him he doesn’t try to bite
Wow , your video was so informative, thank you so much. I have been wanting to buy a Kaikriki for some time now. But have not found a breeder with the yellow ones. The pet shop had I almost got that pair. But was hesitated, didn’t know in witch cage thy will be best in. Now with all your info I want to make a decision, I don’t let my birds out the cages. Maybe one day. I have a room for them but I use that room also for my sowing. Decisions....🧐🤦🏼♀️......❤️🌹❤️🌹
Hi, I was wondering if there's a bird (preferably medium sized) that can adjust to hot weather more easily? I live in the valley so during the summer, it can get really hot ( around the 90s or 100s range).
No bird can tolerate too much heat. It's best to have an indoor space that they can get away from the heat. A misting system can help. Kakarikis have thick feathers that are meant for the cold so too much heat is not ideal. Some birds are more sensitive to heat then others but any bird can suffer from that amount of heat and die from heat stroke.
Can I use a ceramic heat emitter bulb in my lovebird cage? I pair has layed eggs so I was wondering if this is important to keep them cozy. I have purchased a 50watt. My home is heating floor nice and cozy but just worried at times if the temperature is just right for my birds speicially since they have layed eggs. Appreciate your kind advice

Great video. In Serbian language they are called kozice which means little goats It is because of the sound that you described they make.

I also have a kakariki but he's yellow and red.
I just received a turquoise kakariki for my birthday. We’ve always had birds growing up and it’s a passion of mine now in adulthood. I have two Indian ringnecks as well. One I personally raised from 3 weeks old. They are kept in a separate rooms though so no worries. I have the opportunity to have a mate for my kakariki but I really enjoy pet birds. I’m told it’s better for them to have a mate. If that is the case I would do it for him, happily. Does anyone have an opinion to share on whether they are better off paired, or would be just as happy single as a pet?
Here are best wishes that your profession brings satisfaction, and pride to you always
Summer is so cute. I hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving
ka-ka-ree-kee.
Not only does it mean little parrot but it also means green.
A little hello from France ! I love your videos, I'd love to have a bird and looking at all your videos is helping make my choice, thought not for now since I live in a little flat but my dream would be to have a room like yours ! Seems like paradise for me ahah. I would probably go for Lennies or Kakarikis
I was wondering how long do you spend with them everyday ? Do you like just sit in your bird room ?
Thx i have 2 babies ,,love them
Beautiful bird
Your information is wonderful and your bird room is amazing. I would love to see a tour of your bird room along with the links of the ropes and things you have on your wall. Also how do you keep everything clean? What products do you use for cleaning?
Hi, I do have some your videos.

Liked the vid., thanks.
My kakariki is currently sitting on my curtains... He's a crazy boy🤣
There she goes!
It was very helpful. Thank you!
I have a really important question! My kakariki had a tail feather pulled out by my Conure, after that he seemed fine, but today i went to pick my kakariki up as he cant fly and he lost 4 tail feathers as he slid out my hand
His name is red, hes not yet tame either but this concerned me greatly ♡
Hi, the feathers will grow back unless he has a disease like beak and feathers disease etc.
Sometimes with stress and handling the bird the feathers will fall out as a defense mechanism.
Let him sit on your hand and avoid holding him in your hand as they don't like it and you could damage the feathers.
My kakariki screams when i need to get up to go to school-
Same
hi there,
i’m thinking about getting a kakariki on the weekend, any tips for first time owners and do you recommend these beautiful birds for inexperienced owners?
Wait so Kakarikis can chill with Cockatiels? They're not aggressive at all?
Hello. I have a male and female kakariki, who are starting to lay eggs. I have their chick from previous litter too. The chick is now going in to the nesting box where mom kakariki is with her eggs. Should I remove the chick?
Love your bird
u said that they don't make a lot of noise, in my experience my kakariki has pick up word that i use when handling him and he usually talks and sings a lot if they know how to talk or whistle or sing, however its very rewording when u take ur bird out the cage and he says "love you." or "Hello" or what ever they pick up or are tort. If u dont like a lot of noise then i would not recommend to teach ur bird to sing s it often come out as screechy tune, but i would definitely teach them to talk. Also thank u for this video really helped as i was debating whether to clip or not clip my kakarikis wing as we live on a big far with lots of trees and hes dark green so he could easily be mistaken for a clump of leaves except from his red cap and there are 4 children who aren always aware if hes out or not, i have put it of for the winter as we dont spend as much time outside and there aren't any doors constantly open, but i have decided to not clip them based on what u said. he know re call so if he dose get out some time i can call him down, and when ever i walk into anther room he follows me and sits on my shoulder. thanks
Hi ma'am I want ask what tha difference of male and female in kakariki
Kindly may I know the easy best recipe to make egg food for lovebirds. My pair has layed eggs. To my understanding egg and millet steamed and cooked?
My Kakariki clicks his tongue a lot to objects and me😂 and bobs his head when he does that
Thank for the nice video. Keep it up. Educate people please. Thank you.
I have 23 Kakarikies. 5 different colours. And yes they are dust free and like to bath a lot. And fly around explore. They are fun to watch. But they do not make the best pets. As they do not like to be handled for scratches. And never clip a Kakarikie’s wings. They get depressed. And yes as she is saying. They need a big cage or a big room. Mine have 10 feet X 24 foot room. And even that seems at times is not big enough. They are so much fun to watch. The more toys they have the better. And I find that to. They spin in the seed dish. I think it is just the way they think. Or the way they do. And not noisy. I just love them. Remember no bird should have clipped wings. Especially Kakarikies.
I always say if a person can not handle a bird with out clipping the wings they should not have a bird.
Thanks for the tips! it must be fun to watch 23 Kakarikis!
Hi. Can you tell me is the blue spangled kakarikis have heat problems
brooo this girl has EVERY kinda bird for real
Do you have any information about keeping kakarikis with other birds, if they can and what other parrots can be housed in the same cage with one
I would never house different kinds of parrot or other bird in the same cage...that will end in disaster. If you have a large aviary you can mix budgies, zebra Finches or cockatiels with kakariki.
If got pair of kakkerietjie but they always have just 1 baby why
Love your videos! :) I have a video request; What type of bird(s) would you recommend for apartment living, with neighbors (sound-levels) in mind? Also, I'd love to see a video of just different meals/snacks/food bowls you prepare for your birds. :) Thank you! Happy Easter to you and your birds! ❤️
I will do my best to make those videos. Thanks for asking
Thanks you very informative
Thank you for the video! I was wondering if you could give me advice: I had a celestial parrotlet he was perfect breed not to loud and always just sat nearby me. I see there is a rescue Kakariki that I can adopt. But I dont want to be silly and jump into a new species of bird without understanding them properly hence me finding you amazing Chanel. Do you think if I was a good celestial parent that I would be able to also be a good Kakariki parent?
Hi I have just rehomed a kak and everytime he see our hands when he's in our of the cage he bites us 🤦🏼♀️ any tips on how to stop this?
i hav a pair of these green though funny birds so cute.
Where can I find a reputable breeder in the USA- preferably in the Midwest? Thank you
Thank you so much
Thnak you so much :)
Do they get along with budgies? Thanks
Is it a problem if kakarikis stay alone in the cage? Because my kakariki started biting his neck.
My kakiriki constantly says what you doing, peekaboo, who’s a pretty boy and pepper (my dog)
l love ur videos could u do short vid on beginner birds for retired older people , if not thx anyways
I will try my best. Thanks for asking
Im willing to buy a pair of kakarikes but im so nervous to buy a two females or males so can you explain more about how should i know the gender please and thank you so much for this wonderful video ❤️
Hey my bird bites looks just like you’re how can I stop him
I have a male Kakariki, I've had him for a couple of years now, he's 9 years old. I believe he was kept as a breeding stud, & was never socialised. We've built a decent relationship - I stroke him, & feed him by hand - but he is not comfortable out of his cage. When I leave the door open, play videos of Kakariki calls, he goes crazy, rushing around & calling, but he'll never leave the cage. Any suggestions as to how I can convince him he's safe to leave his cage would be welcome - I'm sure it would improve his life quality!
hello i have a question, i play music of canaries for my bird and he opens his mouth and tries to sing but nothing comes out, he use to sing like a lot, but now nothing, help
Hi, it's possible that he has a respiratory infection or air sack mites. Sometimes they go mute for no reason. Watch out for tail bobbing and mouth breathing and clicking or rasping sounds
My kakariki is a female cream color, very sweet looking. I love her, but for a while she is been eating her own poop 😢 I clean her cage sometimes twice a day, I give her the best seeds and fruits...I dont know what to do about it....any suggestions?
I lot of birds do eat their own poop and it's awful to watch. Can you put a grate in the cage so the poop goes through it?
I have heard that they are lacking vitamins but not sure if it's true, I will have to do more research.
Dogs do it to including my own dog ☹
@Loveofpets Thank you so much for replying to my comment. The poop falls to the tray/bottom of the cage, and there is the mettal linning or floor of the cage, and she manages to scoop it up with her long toes....I freak out everytime I see her doing that 😳 I give her vits in her water, and also a calcium bone, and she still eats poop 🤮
I guess thats normal...? 😳
They can reach into deep places. Some birds do it because they like the taste unfortunately 😕
Hi my bird is dropping and I’m scared if he is going to die he doesn’t want to climb or move I don’t know if he’s tried or not and when I carry him he doesn’t try to bite
Hi, do you mean he is falling to the floor? Is his wings clipped and how old?
Wow , your video was so informative, thank you so much. I have been wanting to buy a Kaikriki for some time now. But have not found a breeder with the yellow ones. The pet shop had I almost got that pair. But was hesitated, didn’t know in witch cage thy will be best in. Now with all your info I want to make a decision, I don’t let my birds out the cages. Maybe one day. I have a room for them but I use that room also for my sowing. Decisions....🧐🤦🏼♀️......❤️🌹❤️🌹
Glad you enjoyed the video. You can get the Double Flight Cage for them and they will have plenty of room to fly back and forth and play.
Hi, I was wondering if there's a bird (preferably medium sized) that can adjust to hot weather more easily? I live in the valley so during the summer, it can get really hot ( around the 90s or 100s range).
No bird can tolerate too much heat. It's best to have an indoor space that they can get away from the heat. A misting system can help.
Kakarikis have thick feathers that are meant for the cold so too much heat is not ideal. Some birds are more sensitive to heat then others but any bird can suffer from that amount of heat and die from heat stroke.
Alright, ill keep that in mind. Thank you !
Can I use a ceramic heat emitter bulb in my lovebird cage? I pair has layed eggs so I was wondering if this is important to keep them cozy. I have purchased a 50watt. My home is heating floor nice and cozy but just worried at times if the temperature is just right for my birds speicially since they have layed eggs. Appreciate your kind advice
Hi, if your house is warm there is no need for extra heat. The mother will keep the eggs warm.
@@Loveofpets Thank you so much for your reply. I appreciate 🙏
