You guys have done an excellent job teaching your child how to treat animals with respect. Thank you for your responsible parenting. People could learn a lot from watching this video. Bravo!
@Ariadne Chaidez yes, but if you did more research you would notice that cage they got is fine, only the roof has that and many budgies seem to enjoy climbing it. They have other birds so they have to quarantine pillow, since he is from a pet store. they have a flock cage later, and for taming those cages are fine.
Give him a variety of chop which is a mixture of veggies and fruits in addition to his dry foods. You can put a broccoli Florentino the bars so Pillow can dibble on it also you can clip a couple fresh spinach leaves.
Your kid is so sweet and patient with the bird omg! When he was like “let’s wait for pillow to feel better and then he can come to the cage” it was so cute!! Also I can’t believe your bird was asleep and that comfy on the first day! Usually they don’t sleep well the first few days. Also good job doing the research about the arthritis
The fact that the parents are saying “no no we need to be very gentle, see how he is breathing really fast? That means he’s scared” I love that sooooo much 💕
pop_fox_cat_dog 3902 yeah when I got my budgie she went on my hand right away. Mines name is mango and she reaallyyyy likes picking on things. She picks on my nails, and my dead skin coming off of my nails, and things like that. She is so cute
This made me smile! It’s nice to see people who actually care for the well-being of the bird as well as the kid. The cage could be slightly bigger but if he is out all the time it’s great! So many people just throw a bird in tiny cages with no toys and only dowel perches. You guys did this whole thing right😁 I do advise you to get a couple more perches though. If you could, please get him a friend and a bigger cage. I work at a rescue and always want to help people!
@@yesyes1299 Make sure they out of cage everyday for physical exercise & good quality seed mix & veggies fruits chops everyday. Lastly they required 11-12 hours of good night sleep. Happy bird keeping ☺
It takes time. I have had my two budgies for over a month and they are just getting used to me. And it could take longer. Just be patient. Go by their cage every day. Try introducing Miller to them. Reach in their cage to one side so they don’t feel like you are corralling them. If they don’t move get closer. But I have trained my birds successfully with millet. I guess this was just about millet. USE MILLET!
I hate tomatoes Try being with them a lot and try to show that humans are not a harm to them. The more time they get used to you the more they trust you.
If all parents were this happy and open to let their kids explore the animal world and learn about these beautiful animals then the future generations would definitely be a lot more confident.
As a bird owner myself I know that it’s extremely hard to form a bond with your bird overnight, the fact that Pillow was from a Pet store and he let you hold him is amazing
Ella Gator, yes I agree! I got a budgie from a pet store like 5ish months ago and he is still not really hand tamed, still working on it 😕 but I just got one like a week ago (he is a baby though so that helps) but he will sit on my hand and shoulder and head and everything. Sooo yeah birds are funny like that 😂
If you first get the budgie and he lets you on your hand he wont be scared tho he doesnt trust you at ALL it just thinks your an animal passing through but if it sees your near it for a longer period of time it will realize your not passing through
You guys have more common sense than my mum who: -thinks vets are unnecessary -thinks a big cage is unnecessary -thinks plastic perches are fine -thinks the birds don't need toys -thinks foot tags are to stop birds from flying away Aight time for an update: -we replaced plastic perches with natural wooden ones (we got them from a tree that we chopped down) -we bought toys for them -we're saving up for a bigger cage (I talked to my mum about the cage issue and she said to save up) -i keep asking for my mum to find a vet but she keeps forgetting :/
Your son is so sweet and adorable. And very gentle and careful with the bird. He's really good behaved. 😄 And also the bird is very cute as well. Beautiful family ❤️
I gotta say, that's an amazingly tame baby Budgie for being from Petco or PetSmart...looks to me like you did very well in your choice buddy, congrats on Pillow! My very first pet was a baby Budgie that my mom bred and hand-raised and I got when I was 6 years old, and I ended-up becoming a life-long parrot breeder and owner...Spend a lot of time with him every single day buddy, and he'll be your best friend...My first Budgie lived to be 18 years old! He went away to college with me!
Hi I suggest feeding your bird ZuPreem pellets it’s vet recommended and a lot healthier than seeds seeds should be used as a treat enjoy your new family member 💜
I don’t want to be rude in any way I have 4 birds 3 parakeets and one cockatiel I recommend to get a way bigger cage and Mr pillow was very stressed when he was out on the floor they like to be up higher I’m just giving you a recommendation
i saw a small child and a bird and i thought this was going to be a bad video but i was pleasantly surprised! I'm glad Pillow lives with you guys, I'm sure he will live a very happy life.
So your little bird is actually a boy. He is still very young, so his cere, the nose area above his beak is a pink, but will turn blue with time. On the first day, you should have just let him stay in his cage. (Maybe the first week even.) Maybe consider doing a bit more research, and also getting him a friend, so you can ensure he lives a happy life! I’m very glad you’re teaching your son how to respect Pillow, like when pillow flew out of the box and onto the ground, and when your son tried to grab him, you showed him how Pillow was breathing fast. Not trying to be disrespectful or anything, just trying to give advice 😀
spuddy nutter um...actually that is an extremely young budgie and with extremely young budgies you cant tell the gender until their Ceres are fully developed because my girl budgie had a blue cere then it developed to be pink. so please research before you comment like a smart Alec 😕
Please watch bird tricks video on youtube about getting a new parrot home. It absolutely should NOT be in a cage for a week after coming home! Not even for a few hours. Please watch that video, and their other videos, these guys have been training parrots half their lifes.
that is so precious...... when I was still living in Victoria British Columbia like 25 plus years ago I heard something like a bird song and baby crying . in the same call .... I looked up and saw a Cocketiel in the tree I put my hand up to her and she flew down and landed on my hand then hopped on to my head I slowly walked into the house and that is how I rescued our Angel we named her we had her for about 15 years .. it was glorious not sure how long she was living in the wild but I sure am glad we got her as it turned out we had an old budgie cage but upgraded pretty quickly . this is going to be a key stage in Brendan development into the young man he will eventually become empathy and being kind to another soul ... Its going to be awesome ...loved your vlog see you next time
I’m glad that you taught your child manners.There was once a family filming the time they were getting a puppy and the child picked up the pup(not being gently)and the staff at the adoption center even had to tell them to stop
I know I’m a bit late coming in but I wanna hear some “pillow talk.” He’s adorable and hope everything is going well! All jokes aside, I love the name Pillow! It’s a perfect name for a bird. 💜
Your son is the cutest. He named the birdie pillow .Funny story, my daughters first bird almost didn’t last the night. I went to check on bird and found it missing, I found it in her pillow case “to protect him”. I became the full guardian. Lol Birdie never left my side. Best bird I ever loved. 💕❤️❤️❤️😊
dmsbakerds - Oh my gosh, that's hysterical! 😂😂😂 Kids always have the best intentions even if their methods aren't great. Brendan likes to collect spiders in jars, but I have to keep reminding him that they need to be free to make webs and catch bugs. We have a family channel as well called Kevin and Krista if you're interested. 😊
Pusheen Cat - thank you! We have a family channel as well called Kevin and Krista (and Pillow shows up there, too!) We're thinking about getting a friend for him. 😊
chez ball My parakeet is alone and we have her nearly 9 years! She sings everyday and is let out to play with my dogs! No need for a second bird if you socialise well with the one you have! 😆
Your son is absolutely adorable!!!! You can tell that you and your husband are very patient with him, and good teachers. Pillow is pretty cute as well, and I am pretty sure that he was totally stoked when he realized that he is a new member of a sweet family. I hope that Pillow is doing well since this was two years ago, and I hope that al of the family is well too. God Bless!
I am absolutely in love with your family! It's just too cute! I'm going to get a bird of my own next year when I move. I have been wanting one of those cuties for about a year now and haven't gotten one yet because the housing I live in won't allow it. Recently, one of my best friends got one after a few weeks of research and buying equipment. Then I started crying a little out of envy. I'm going to name my bird-to-be after one of my best friends!
I got my budgie 2 days ago, and mine is just as tame as yours! I can’t believe he is already perching on your finger and eating from your hands! Today I’m going to start training him :) Edit: um... thanks for the heart! I wasn’t expecting that! 🤧😅
Your bird is adorable. I love budgies. Please consult an avian vet on diet.. He should also have a variety of perches and toys including ladder and foot toys and swing. Cover at night and make sure there is no draft on him When out supervise him to make sure he does not get into things that could hurt him.. Make sure he does not get out the door or widow. There should be screens on windows.
Thanks for the heart! If sushi were human he would be happy his comment (i made) got a heart by the UA-camr themselves! He's my second green budgie im first one was Kiwi he is sushi but my mom calls im pickle but in Spanish XD
Dang this is the most well behaved bird I’ve seen coming into a completely new environment and home yall got a keeper 😂 and the bird was to gentle to and the boy as well
By the way do not just feed her seed I learned that the hard way with my last budgies give her a variety of fruits and veggies Oh and very fast learner for a parakeet by the way I mean my parakeet that was last from Petsmart I have like three now but my last one that I had was the quickest learner but really from Petsmart or pet whatever that’s a quick learner
@@carolverda6826 Actually, Pillow is a boy. Since Pillow is very young (you can tell by the "barrings" on its head), it's cere is pink. Young males have pinker ceres than young females whose ceres are whiter.
I am SO happy to see parents and their little boy getting a parakeet and actually having done research beforehand! You have a beautiful family and such a handsome little guy! Watching you two coach and show him how to properly interact with Pillow and read his body language made me so much happier than it probably should have (I’ve seen far too many budgies be taken in by people who haven’t done quite enough research )but kudos to you guys for being such a great home for Pillow. You guys have a made a new subscriber out of me 🥰
That's amazing! I know I am commenting this after awhile, but just a heads up, the reason pillow was sitting on your hands was because it looked like he was in shock! Birds can go into this state if they feel stressed/anxious/scared/nervous. Make sure you take good care of him though! He is in a good home! 💗💗
I got a budgie a week ago and his personality is just like yours. He got on my finger the first day but I am still not sure if it’s a boy or a girl and I don’t know it’s age either...
Kevin and Krista Extras btw. I noticed you guys only have seeds, parakeets need pellets too. ZuPreem is a good brand to use along with Harrison’s high potency ultra fine for parakeets. Highly recommend you get that aa food so your parakeet can live longer : P To the right of the bag at 3:37 is the recommended food.
Omg your kid is SO cute with the parakeet. It reminds me of my first bird, a cockatiel I bought when I was a kid with allowance money. That bird lived to be 17!
For all the people in the comments, PINK DOES NOT MEAN A GIRL. Budgies don’t follow gender stereotypes. All budgies ceres are pink as babies then they change to blue for a boy and then white/very light blue and brown in breeding condition for girls. As babies, males have a more even colour on the cere and females usually have white rings around the nostrils.
I Recently got a second bird to keep Jasmine my other bird company and I picked a green Parakeet and He Learned to step up in less than 3 hours! (Leo my green bird is fat though XD)
You are sooo right my mum said i could get a bird in a month but she made 2 weeks so i took loads of information good job for including tyo do research
Wow, you are lucky to have that kind of bird that isnt scared of you, I can tell hes a really great friend. I have my budgie since 3 months and hes kind of scared of me..Or uncomfortable..
Im so proud that you bought your child a little friend since he's alone with no sis or bros, i wish my mom was like that, I have 2 sisters but they never play with me and i can never trust them, i wish for my own kitten
I have 2 budgies, I have had my first one for a little while and just got her a friend on Friday, they keep talking through separate cages, if you guys are frequently home it is fine to have one budgie if you pay a lot of attention to it, but if you guys are out and about, I suggest another bird!
*NOT TRYING TO BE RUDE IN ANY WAY* your bird is absolutely adorable!! i have a parakeet and a cockatiel myself! I would definitely think about getting a second parakeet!! they are very loving birds that love having companions! they like buddy budgie friends! just saying.. not trying to be rude... and you might want to consider getting a bigger cage.. that budgie would probably like room to fly around in its cage... another thing... if your bird is not already warmed up to you.. don’t chase Pillow around... try and just grab him if you’re trying to get him out, chasing him around just really scared them more
I love your bird, he's so gorgeous and his colouring is beautiful. Pillow will be a great companion for your son, I love your new bird and I wish you luck on the next few years with him.
You guys have done an excellent job teaching your child how to treat animals with respect. Thank you for your responsible parenting. People could learn a lot from watching this video. Bravo!
Seventies Girl - Thank you! 😄
You've Done an Awesome Job With teaching Him! Even if your not a teacher, Bravo! Love your videos! Hope you post soon!
I have a parakeet and his name is Pika
I got a bird and this video popped up and I sure learned a lot from this video ❤ bravo🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 🎉🎉🎉
The kid did his research. Props to him for handling the bird with care at a young age.
Pillow

Ivan Peng lol
Ivan Peng haha😂
lol
Ivan Peng I know right they should leave him in the cage for awhile before interacting with him
I love how he is whittling perches for grip and comfort for the bird. Great use of materials
Give him a variety of chop which is a mixture of veggies and fruits in addition to his dry foods. You can put a broccoli Florentino the bars so Pillow can dibble on it also you can clip a couple fresh spinach leaves.

That is the most tame budgie I’ve ever seen from a PETSMART on the first day, you guys were so lucky!! My birds are still scared of me after a month

You guys have more common sense than my mum who:
-thinks vets are unnecessary
-thinks a big cage is unnecessary
-thinks plastic perches are fine
-thinks the birds don't need toys
-thinks foot tags are to stop birds from flying away
Aight time for an update:
-we replaced plastic perches with natural wooden ones (we got them from a tree that we chopped down)
-we bought toys for them
-we're saving up for a bigger cage (I talked to my mum about the cage issue and she said to save up)
-i keep asking for my mum to find a vet but she keeps forgetting :/
Same honestly
Same
What are foot tags for
Loco Productions for breeders to see how old the bird is
Same. But my parakeets past away years ago. Didn't want to deal with family stupidity so no more pets in the house.
I like the bald spot on his head also.

Its not a bald spot 😞
"The bird has a name, you know" 😂😂

Thank you for liking my comment! And have fun your bird too and pillow is so so soooooo cute!!
I gotta say, that's an amazingly tame baby Budgie for being from Petco or PetSmart...looks to me like you did very well in your choice buddy, congrats on Pillow! My very first pet was a baby Budgie that my mom bred and hand-raised and I got when I was 6 years old, and I ended-up becoming a life-long parrot breeder and owner...Spend a lot of time with him every single day buddy, and he'll be your best friend...My first Budgie lived to be 18 years old! He went away to college with me!
Ellen Dunsmore - aw, that's so sweet! Maybe Brendan can take Pillow to college with him one day! 😄
Wow she tamed fast! My budgie I got months ago and she still isn't tamed each budgies are different and yours is very friendly.
nev aeh - yeah, it's funny how their personalities can be so different! 😊
Is yours tame yet
*he
Minds not tamed yet
This is a good video but I recommend a flat flight cage and to assemble the cage befor getting the bird❤
Cute Video...I just did the same thing today with Petco!! My 4th Budgie in all my years alive. They all lived close to 10 years each!
Hi I suggest feeding your bird ZuPreem pellets it’s vet recommended and a lot healthier than seeds seeds should be used as a treat enjoy your new family member 💜
Wow!Great progress with pillow! Parakeets like broccoli because the top part reminds them of seeds!
Celia Rocino thanks! 😁 I even rip all the little buds off so they're loose, and they resemble seeds even more!
Kevin and Krista Extras haha that’s so cute!
I don’t want to be rude in any way I have 4 birds 3 parakeets and one cockatiel I recommend to get a way bigger cage and Mr pillow was very stressed when he was out on the floor they like to be up higher I’m just giving you a recommendation

chez ball My parakeet is alone and we have her nearly 9 years! She sings everyday and is let out to play with my dogs! No need for a second bird if you socialise well with the one you have! 😆
Your son is absolutely adorable!!!! You can tell that you and your husband are very patient with him, and good teachers. Pillow is pretty cute as well, and I am pretty sure that he was totally stoked when he realized that he is a new member of a sweet family. I hope that Pillow is doing well since this was two years ago, and I hope that al of the family is well too. God Bless!
You are great parents I love the part ur like be gentle it’s breathing very fast at 6:24
I am absolutely in love with your family! It's just too cute! I'm going to get a bird of my own next year when I move. I have been wanting one of those cuties for about a year now and haven't gotten one yet because the housing I live in won't allow it. Recently, one of my best friends got one after a few weeks of research and buying equipment. Then I started crying a little out of envy. I'm going to name my bird-to-be after one of my best friends!
IGotYouFam - Aw, thank you! Best of luck with your bird when you get it! 😘
I got my budgie 2 days ago, and mine is just as tame as yours! I can’t believe he is already perching on your finger and eating from your hands! Today I’m going to start training him :)
Edit: um... thanks for the heart! I wasn’t expecting that! 🤧😅
Did you all know parakeets poop every 15 min
Yeah i have been keeping parrot from 2014
Oh God I have a lot of cleaning to do in the morning I got my parakeets today I got five now I had three now I got 2 more 13 animals in my house know
Oh come on, it's not that bad...
More like, every 40 mins :D
Well... Poo. Literally.
@@nephone No its true. We aren't joking here dude.
You got a young budgie so he’s really chill and learns to love faster!! Lucky! :D this reminds me of when i got my first birb.
Your bird is adorable. I love budgies. Please consult an avian vet on diet.. He should also have a variety of perches and toys including ladder and foot toys and swing. Cover at night and make sure there is no draft on him When out supervise him to make sure he does not get into things that could hurt him.. Make sure he does not get out the door or widow. There should be screens on windows.
10:09 that is such a good shot of the bird! Mine are always flying around
My one will fly away
He has the face of my bird "Sushi" i call him dat because i put my fingers around him like chop sticks and HE LETS ME XD
Thanks for the heart! If sushi were human he would be happy his comment (i made) got a heart by the UA-camr themselves! He's my second green budgie im first one was Kiwi he is sushi but my mom calls im pickle but in Spanish XD
Pickle XD
Dang this is the most well behaved bird I’ve seen coming into a completely new environment and home yall got a keeper 😂 and the bird was to gentle to and the boy as well
By the way do not just feed her seed I learned that the hard way with my last budgies give her a variety of fruits and veggies Oh and very fast learner for a parakeet by the way I mean my parakeet that was last from Petsmart I have like three now but my last one that I had was the quickest learner but really from Petsmart or pet whatever that’s a quick learner
Amazing bird and what a great life you seem to be giving her but I would recommend getting a few more toys
Make sure you don't have any non-stick pans, they're deadly to birds
Yes, very true and good info.
Non-stick..
Oof
@@KevinandKrista your bird is a girl
Kevin and Krista Extras I would also be concerned about that plant in there lots of house plants are toxic to them
@@carolverda6826 Actually, Pillow is a boy. Since Pillow is very young (you can tell by the "barrings" on its head), it's cere is pink. Young males have pinker ceres than young females whose ceres are whiter.
And that up and down and up and down and up and down and up and down haha haha haha 😂
What a sweet boy. He’s so gentle with pillow. 💕❤️

Your son is very patient I have to agree he could be a lot more gentle though especially the father
I am SO happy to see parents and their little boy getting a parakeet and actually having done research beforehand! You have a beautiful family and such a handsome little guy! Watching you two coach and show him how to properly interact with Pillow and read his body language made me so much happier than it probably should have (I’ve seen far too many budgies be taken in by people who haven’t done quite enough research )but kudos to you guys for being such a great home for Pillow. You guys have a made a new subscriber out of me 🥰
Pillow is super cute! Your lucky that pillow wasn't really scared. I'm soon getting a budgie and hopefully it won't be as scared :)
Beautiful parakeet!
I just got twin albino parakeets for Christmas.
I love to watch them!😍🥰
Buying a bird is a wonderful experience! I hope you enjoy having pillow as a new family member!
Soooo cute also the child was so calm and patience he is a great child
He is a great child but to me he was too loud for a parakeets first day home
Make sure to get another bird because budgies need companions 😜 luv this vid
Constance Senior - Thank you! 😊
The yellow marking on Pillow's head is what my boy budgie has got!
$150 for everything,I could definitely afford that.Looks like I’m getting a budgie!
shut up lol - Good luck - they're lots of fun! 👍
Aww! I have a little, LITTLE, one named Moonrise, he’s adorable, he is a little brother to another one named Olive!
he looks like an adorable medieval monk!!
Super cute. My first bird was a parakeet. Brendan will do great.
Tammy Shannon - thank you! 😊
Kevin and Krista Extras You're welcome
That's amazing! I know I am commenting this after awhile, but just a heads up, the reason pillow was sitting on your hands was because it looked like he was in shock! Birds can go into this state if they feel stressed/anxious/scared/nervous. Make sure you take good care of him though! He is in a good home! 💗💗
(BTW this is the first time I'm watching your videos) I like how reletiviely calm and gentle your child is with Pillow.
Olivia D - yeah, Brendan is pretty mellow. We try to keep reminding him how much bigger he is than Pillow. 😊
Some budgies have a British accent when trying to talk like humans
looks like mine is gonna have an aussie accent..
I thought you were gonna use the bird carrier as a cage I was like WHAT THE F- than when you said carrier I was like oh lol
😂😂😂
Same
Lol same XD
This litreally made me giggle hard
How... Just HOW!... He is so tamed you guys are lucky, I've never got a tamed budgies when I first bought them pillow is cute
I’ve been saving up for a budgie too and I’m probably going to get one this summer I’m so excited
Ella Webb - Exciting! Good luck!
I got a budgie a week ago and his personality is just like yours. He got on my finger the first day but I am still not sure if it’s a boy or a girl and I don’t know it’s age either...
Do you have discord or anyway to send pictures of your budgie? I can help identify it
The flesh above the beak is blue or purple if male, brownish or pinkish if female!
If it has black bars on its head its young
It’s been 8 to 10 months and my budgies still wish for my death to this day 😌
Hey Hilarious Jan if the nose thing is blue or purple-ish it is a boy but if it is pink or brown like it’s a girl Hope this helped
If he continues to bond with Pillow at this rate you will have an amazing pet
Pillow is sitting on the keyboard and nibbling my fingers as I'm typing this. 😄
Kevin and Krista Extras btw. I noticed you guys only have seeds, parakeets need pellets too. ZuPreem is a good brand to use along with Harrison’s high potency ultra fine for parakeets. Highly recommend you get that aa food so your parakeet can live longer : P
To the right of the bag at 3:37 is the recommended food.
Omg your kid is SO cute with the parakeet. It reminds me of my first bird, a cockatiel I bought when I was a kid with allowance money. That bird lived to be 17!
For all the people in the comments, PINK DOES NOT MEAN A GIRL. Budgies don’t follow gender stereotypes. All budgies ceres are pink as babies then they change to blue for a boy and then white/very light blue and brown in breeding condition for girls.
As babies, males have a more even colour on the cere and females usually have white rings around the nostrils.
I love how his bald spot is like a heart at certain angles also, my new bird loves noodles, cooked noodles that is it maybe pillow would like it
No! Wth dont feed your budgie noodles what are you thinking! Jesus
@@pug6871 birds can eat it but a little amount
The bird has a name you know. XD Btw You picked a really special bird!
Cotto n - Yeah, he's pretty laid back and lots of fun!
I Recently got a second bird to keep Jasmine my other bird company and I picked a green Parakeet and He Learned to step up in less than 3 hours! (Leo my green bird is fat though XD)
So cute, my mom is getting me one when i do my chores, clean up after my messes, and help her clean houses, have a good day everyone!
Thank you mother.
I'm glad you guys were so knowledgeable about birds before you got one
You are sooo right my mum said i could get a bird in a month but she made 2 weeks so i took loads of information good job for including tyo do research
I love this , such a good start . It’s a very delicate beautiful process . I ❤️ my parakeets
J R - thank you! 😊
No. Its the worst start for the bird i have ever seen
السلام عليكم
the parakeet is so beautuiful!!!!!!!🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑😲
Wow, you are lucky to have that kind of bird that isnt scared of you, I can tell hes a really great friend. I have my budgie since 3 months and hes kind of scared of me..Or uncomfortable..
Im so proud that you bought your child a little friend since he's alone with no sis or bros, i wish my mom was like that,
I have 2 sisters but they never play with me and i can never trust them, i wish for my own kitten
I wish I had a pet
Lol that's kinda hilarious
I’m not proud a bird for a kid is an awful pet not because of the bird but because of the kid. Please don’t get a bird for your young kid
I have 2 budgies, I have had my first one for a little while and just got her a friend on Friday, they keep talking through separate cages, if you guys are frequently home it is fine to have one budgie if you pay a lot of attention to it, but if you guys are out and about, I suggest another bird!
*NOT TRYING TO BE RUDE IN ANY WAY*
your bird is absolutely adorable!! i have a parakeet and a cockatiel
myself! I would definitely think about getting a second parakeet!! they are very loving birds that love having companions! they like buddy budgie friends! just saying.. not trying to be rude... and you might want to consider getting a bigger cage.. that budgie would probably like room to fly around in its cage... another thing... if your bird is not already warmed up to you.. don’t chase Pillow around... try and just grab him if you’re trying to get him out, chasing him around just really scared them more
Alexis Lehew idk people always say get a bigger cage and they don’t even need it it’s a perfect size
Elina Tsadourian because birds need as much room as possible and shouldn’t even be in a cage most the time. Engaged not caged
Toxicity if it’s not in the cage constantly then that’s cage is fine
@@Justsomeratz the cage looks a bit too small in my opinion
Toxicity Marlene McCohens famous saying Engaged not caged! I agree with that statement 100%
I named mine kiwi.... once my dad said “let’s eat kiwi!” I was so scared for my budgie 😅
*he meant the fruit*
Lmao I would've hid the bird
XxSophiexX Chicken i named mine kiwi too!!
XxSophiexX Chicken I have a bird maimed kiwi to!! 😂
My bird is called kiwi to! 😂
I love your bird, he's so gorgeous and his colouring is beautiful. Pillow will be a great companion for your son, I love your new bird and I wish you luck on the next few years with him.
