    What parrot are you looking to buy?

    Update: I've gotten the blue headed Pionus. Great bird! He bonded with me the first 2 hrs. The fastest bird to form a bond with me. Took about 10 minutes to come out of his little box and about 2 hrs until he came to me out of curiosity. I must say, they're the easiest birds to have. So not noisy.

    • @Fivesaflock
      @Fivesaflock  3 роки тому +1

      That is awesome! Pionus are definitely underappreciated and one of the main reasons I push them so hard. Absolute great pets.

    Hey man! Love your vids as always, keep it up!
    There's one thing I feel like I need to advise. I think the music you pick is awesome and it's something of my taste as well BUT sometimes it's a bit too energetic and loud, so after like 2-3 min I realized that I was listening to music and looking at you and the parrot but didn't pick up a single word of what you were saying so as a result, I had to go over these 3 mins again. My little piece of advice would be to experiment with the background music a bit more, perhaps some ambient-like music, or generally just slower music like chillstep would fit better.
    I hope you get what I mean haha
    Thanks for your vids and stay awesome!

      I was planning on getting a handr raised cockatiel or conure and ended up getting an Indian Ringneck that was terrified of people. Best decision I ever made, she is the sweetest most cuddly bird ever now and I've only had her 9 weeks. Still nervous around anyone else though

    I absolutely 💯 agree with you that it’s not just which bird you like but it is which bird likes you. To make a really long story short, I wanted an Indian Ring Neck but I ended up with a Pineapple Conure that wasn’t exactly the prettiest bird to choose from and it was the best decision I’ve ever made. My bird definitely chose me!!!!! I didn’t choose him and I don’t regret it at all! I LOVE MY LITTLE BABY!!!! I have been a dog lover all my life and I am now 41. Man I wish I was into birds before because I would have never gotten my dogs. Which btw I really got the dogs for my wife but guess who ended up with them? Meeeee!!!! Anyway I could keep going on and on about how much I LOVE my conure but if it wasn’t for him choosing me I would have probably just bought a bird that I liked the way it looked and I would be kicking myself in the butt right now telling a different story. It’s funny how things work out. I never thought I would have been into birds but here I am. I really enjoy your videos so please keep them coming. I think it should be mandatory that whoever wants to get a parrot for the 1st time that they HAVE to subscribe to you and watch your videos. You hit on soooo many important topics / tips that a lot of others don’t talk about. So thank you because I am still learning.

    Which beginner bird do you recommend for a climate like Pakistan's where summer temperatures can reach about 25,26 to 38 dergees celsius, above 40 rarely but can happen, and winter temperatures can go as low as 4 degrees celsius for some time. Autumn and spring here are pretty normal temperatures ranging from 20 to 30 degrees celsius. Of course during the winter we have a heater with us. An apartment friendly bird like the Pionus or Meyer's parrots, similar to these is what I'm looking for.

    • @Fivesaflock
      @Fivesaflock  3 роки тому

      That's pretty normal weather. When it gets cold near freezing, some parrots can acclimate to that, but that varies by species and I would say it's safer to just bring the parrot inside.

    • @Fivesaflock
      @Fivesaflock  3 роки тому

      I definitely would avoid big box stores as most of them do not treat the birds well. I would recommend a good bird store that keeps the birds out in a petting zoo set up, or from a breeder directly.

    I went to a breeder to meet different birds but when I first walked in I saw this Indian Ringneck and instantly fell in love. Before hearing anything about her I had decided that she was coming home with me. She was terrified of people and wasn't used to being out of the cage or any interaction. It only took about 2 weeks for her to start coming to me and climbing all over me (I never approached her, just spent all of my time in the same room doing my own thing). Now I have had her 9 weeks and she is always wanting cuddles and head scratches. she is about 7 months old DNA tested female. she is starting to copy the patterns of words, is very playful, favourite colour is dark purple, loves swings and anything she can hang off of, loves climbing, obsessed with paddle pop sticks, will eat anything that she sees me eat first, will play with any toy that she sees me play with first (kind of like seeing me do these things reassures her that its safe for her to do the same). She still gets really nervous when other people come in the room but we are working on it. She is also my first bird and I was planning on getting a cockatiel or a conure but she has turned out to be the perfect bird for me

    • @Fivesaflock
      @Fivesaflock  3 роки тому +5

      That's AMAZING to hear! Keep it up! If your ringneck has yet to go through its bluffing phase, get ready for it. Keep interacting with it and it'll get over it and go back to being sweet for the rest of its life.
