2. forcing your parrot into doing something, while you can accomplish what you want at that moment, but it will ruin it and lose your parrot's trust.
3. shouting at your bird, while it could be frustrating sometimes when dealing with our birds, but shouting is never a good idea.
4. hitting your bird, birds are really fragile specially that their bones are hollow, hitting your bird will not only ruin your relationship with him, but could harm him really badly.
if you want to know how to stop biting peacefully watch this video: • How to STOP Budgies fr...
5. serving your parrot a toxic food, you might think something is beneficial to your parrot because it has a lot of good vitamins and very healthy to us, but it's not always true with birds!

#budgie #parakeet - Домашні улюбленці та дикі тварини
Don't give them chocolate , avocado ,onions garlic look up to find a safer and healthy diet , vary their diet every week so they don't get bored , make sure they have fresh water the bigger the cage the better, birds are meant to fly and get exercise ,and budgies are better in a group as this is how they live in the wild, if you do get a large cage throw in some grasses ( make sure they are clean and no fertilizers or pesticides ) the love to eat ,chew and make nests with it , spend time with them , and don't rush things let the bird come to you and gain your trust .
Okay well first off never provide the bird with ANY nesting material unless you are breeding avoid mirrors at all cost .. Grapes bread noodles and dairy is a must for being avoided iceburg lettuce !! HOOKBILLS AVOID SAND PAPER / GRAVEL it will kill your bird and harm the feet DO NOT give the birds supplements unless told to by avian vet
U got this from alen axp right
Can u suggest what to do? My budgie sneanks in to side of the wall where the pop is broken & he just a breaks it & eats most of it.
Is it fine or do I need to do anything?
@@ravneek3025 well do budgies eat dry wall in the wild ? No it will kill your bird you need to watch your bird Better while its out and patch that wall up asap
@@hashridaanantharamanprahal6732 hes not the best with his birds either !! Becarful what advice you take from him
According to my bird, apparently giving him his medicine is very unforgivable.
Always use the cover technic they would hate the light cover more then you.
and very unforgettable :D, my budgie had scaly legs and HE HATED THE LOTIONS SO MUCH he kept biting the little bottles :D it's like cmon little buddy!
@@yarelimiku4714 lol same! My cockatiel goes crazy if you have a teatowel in your hand- because he thinks your going to grab him and give him medicine.
@@bonnielogan6358 😂😂😂😂thats like kids needing to go doctor or dentist
You can give your Bird medicine As long as you’re supposed to
Play the video at 1.25 speed, it sounds better😁
Outlege yeesh thanks a lot, he so7nds normal now lol. Speaks slow😂
@@haya3746 🔥✌✌
Thanks
@@is_ya_average_idiot1613 😉🤟🔥
My hero!! Lol
I dont even have one why am I watching this.? lol
Edit: I now have one lol his name is woody and I love him
🤣
alpha_ sami nope I have 2 now they’re flock animals so
@@camillakirkmand1977 niceeeeeee
I have 2
I m getting two. But i already have a cat. Would it be a good idea
1 get a big cage
2 dont shout on them
3 dont force to do anything
4 don't spray water or give punishment
5 dont give toxic food...learn about the toxic and non toxic food
I don’t never ever yell at my birds to me that’s abuse
Birds Rebecca and Maria TV same and it in courage’s them to yell at you
I just sing and talk to them HAHAHAHAHA. One time their chirping the song I sing HAHAHAHHA
don't never is a double negative...it means you don't NOT yell at yr birds.Try "don't EVER" ,skip the never.
Even when they won't go back in their cage (they're not hand trained quite yet), I use a perch to get them to sit on it and take them to their cage. My girl gets kinda mean and doesn't want to enter her cage sometimes, so I end up having to guide her with the perch behind her. Shes not afraid, just a brat lmao
I’ve never yelled at my bird directly.
However he doesn’t seem to give a shit when I yell at the game or yell for the dog.
He just tilts his head at me and goes back to preening.
When I got my 2 first budgies, the pet store sold me a small cage with plastic perches and sand paper to cover the perches for their nails. And told me to give them seed for food. I know better now. They have a flight cage and a variety of perches (different size and textures). I also give them veggies everyday. Also I've notice the "let me out dance". When they move left to right etc. I use to think it was cute but I now realize it means they're unhappy and want out.
yes, a lot of people listen to whatever the pet store tells them. and unfortunately pet stores don't really know how parrots should live a quality life.
Thank you for sharing
I totally love the way you show your patience, caring, and love 😍
I LOVE THAT "LET ME OUT DANCE" EVERY 6AM HAHAHAHAHAHHAA
My loverbird does that dance but i haven't gain it's trust yet because I just brought him/her (too young to see if it's a girl or a boy) and I won't be able to put it back into the cage after an hour maybe I saw many videos of what I need to know and do so mah friend can trust me and then let it out of the cage daily
I tried to make them eat veggies but they wont take any were ur birds like this too or is it just me i dont know what to do
Also getting a lone budgie... with mirrors. I truly believe they can go insane. Budgies are a social birds. And mirrors don't interact back to them and so it can become highly frustrating to the lone budgie.
@@chrysanthemum_tea1938 you should get him a friend. Budgies are very social birds.
Yep if ur getting a lone budgie, u need to srsly spend alot of time with them.
Lone budgies are happy when they have an interactive owner and they are tamed so they treat you like their flock. They need lots of fun toys and fir you to play with them as well.
My sister's child has a lone with mirror too! I think they removed the mirror or not. I will see it tomorrow because I'm adopting him, long story.
They don't go insane. I had a lone budgie for 8 years and she was the happiest little bird. I became her flock and she preened my hair as if it were my feathers.
Yes my budgie has a very large cage but that really doesn't matter as she is not in it all day long. She has the run of the house and interacts with us daily. But you must realize that you also need to read your birds language as well as they learning yours. If your bird is feeling safe and secure in their world then you will have no problems. However listen to your bird, they can and will tell you if there is a problem. Mine told me through squaking that I forgot to give them their treat seed after supper one night. Boy did I get told off...she flew to my foot and squaked..then flew to the dining room..then back to me in the bedroom, then to the dining room, then back to me. I finally figured out that she was trying to tell me something. Yep..when I followed her the last time she landed on the diningroom table beside the water I leave out for her. She gave me a look that said "what is missing here?" well the treat seed was missing..I forgot to put it out. Got it and put it on the table and she happily started eating it. Hmmm...these birds are so much smarter than anyone gives them credit for. She is taming me, not the other way around...lol
BloomCounty Lover / lol how about you are training each other, lol.
Wow mine dont ever speak or squawk yet
Thats soo cute 😊 mine does that too. I never close her cage because i love having her fly around the house and interact. She goes in her cage to sleep when it gets dark out, all by herself. But ya, if i forget mines treat, she flies frantically around us until i remember LOL
do they poop on your curtains though
Love this
When I saw the little grave at the beginning I ALMOST CRIED 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
:(
Omg is that what that was!!😆
@@studentberry3131 that sounds kinda rude
I had to hurry mine today bc I accidentally killed her
@@thewarfaregod4901 oh now how did you accidentally kill them?
That relaxing and nice feeling when you realize you have been carful and didn't do any of these mistakes.
yeahhhh some pet store don't even tell correct diet they only regiment to feed seeds alone 😡
YEAH THOSE CAGES ARE TO SMALL THATS WHY ITS TAKEING ME LONGER TO TAME MY PARAKEETS THEY WANT MORE SPACE BUT MY DAD WORKS TO MUCH AND IM TO YOUNG TO GET A JOB SO ITS HARDER TO TAME MY PARAKEETS!!!!!! 😡😡😡😡😡😠😠😠😠
Alex Anaya get 👏 a 👏 new 👏 cage 👏 then
Analia Debbarma to yeah the first time we got our pair, they wouldn't touch the pellets
PowerFlameX their parents might not believe them, or just don't have the money.
Fluffadoodle a cage is like 20 dollars
I would give my budgie a veggie but he's scared of things he has never seen before. ( He's not scared of me )
Cut them up into small pieces and mix it in with their seeds! It works for my birds they're just like yours, I would personally reccomend spinach leaves and broccoli, my birds love those!
Mine too!
also, for me, one of the most appropriate thing to do when dealing with your bird is dont ever chase them when flying.
Always get budgies in pairs if not you gonna have to be his friend to entertain him half of the day.
Thats uh
Thats what I wanted
Don't leave your bird alone for hours at a time with no human or bird companionship.
i have to cause of school.
I have to when I go to work, but we hangout before I go to work, since he likes sitting on my vanity while I get ready, and he likes to sit by the window and fly around the room when I get home. As long as you spend time with them when you’re home, they can be very happy. I also leave the blinds on the window open because he has a strange fascination with the construction workers across the street, and likes to observe them during the day
Same of school
I just love how you make your videos dramatic 😄
I got my Budgie from a breeder 3 days ago. He has never been handled before. I managed to hand tame him in 3 days. I was told this would take weeks if not months. I was interacting with him all day long, slowly gaining his trust. He is such a good bird! Love him! Now it’s all about not losing his trust
That's so awesome I want to get one so bad
Even though I'm 12, I managed to not do any of these. So, if an adult makes the mistake, I just think they didn't invest a couple minutes to watch a video that could make a budgie friendly with them.
Same, except I'm 13.
My budgie cage is around 2x1x2 feet. I have two, but I dont keep them in there all day long. I let them fly around the room until they want to go back inside again.
I've done almost all of these b4.. 😔 I didnt know at the time though but they're still here and I've gotten their trust back.
So glad you made this video, ppl need to learn, and budgies are so smart, and they remember too! Some ppl think budgies domt need much time, but they need very much time and patience, like having a dog, exept the budgies need more time when they are single. Who the hell would hit a bird anyway?? They remember if they survive.. Everyone needs to know this. My old budgie Happy flew to me at 17 yrs old and didnt want to leave;little did i know that he was about to die.. out of old age and he was happy as his name, i just didnt know he wanted to die at peace and in my hands. Miss him everyday ❤️❤️ btw he was out of the cage almost all day, but wanted to be on my shoulder 🥰 editrd bevause of spelling errors
Lovely video.
I have budgies and aseel chickens. I have installed solar panels for them.
We have a very large cage for our budgies. We generally keep the door open at least 12 hours a day. They come in and out as they please. Having space makes them very happy.
Thank you so much for this video. I'm doing my research before I ask for a budgie, and this really helps me when it comes to what to do and what not to do with a budgie. You've definitely gained a new subscriber, thank you for these helpful videos!
wow, thank you for such a wonderful comment, it keeps me motivated!
When you say a budgie, just so you know, you should get at least two if you aren’t planning on giving them hours of attention each day.
I just wanna know who in their right mind would shout at a cute little budgie. They are so tiny.
Ikr it must sound so scary for them :,(
I know, they are so cute, and I can't even imagine physically hurting them, animal abuse 100 percent.
thank you, and i like your budgie site here on you tube. i follow you every week. Good information, and i like the way you talk!
6:56 that bite must of hurt
They don't hurt its like putting a hair clip on your finger
@@joshadams3873 my budgie hurts cuz she knows where to bite and she pinches hard and twists- lol
I feel like my bird knows where it hurts the most to bite on the hand, it sucks .
My budgies are free to hang out from their cages during the day. Everything is budgie proof. I do put them in the cages if I leave. Their have a table with the cages and a playground. They do fly around but basically stay in their area. Occasionally they come over to me on the couch. Thank you for all the great videos. ❤🐦🙂
Thank you for your support and for watching, I truly appreciate that!
@@BudgieWorld your welcome. You have the best channel about budgies. 🤗👍
@Aali & Rose I put stickers on my windows so they don't fly into them. Keep the toilet lid down. Be very patient. I first let my birds feel comfortable in their surroundings because I let them out for the first time. Make sure you don't have plants that are poisonous to birds. To get them use to your hands I would put my hand in the cage a couple times a day and not go to them. And when they start getting comfortable with that I put millet in my hand. The bird will come and eat out of your hand when comfortable. This is something I do first before letting them out of cage. After you let them out perch train you bird. By gently putting a perch up to their breast and say up. Repeat until they know. For me patience was I big key to getting your bird to trust you. I know this is long. Good luck and enjoy your new bird. Find an avian vet. Bring your after comfortable for first check up. Very important in case your bird ever gets sick.🙂
@Aali & Rose watch all his videos. He knows alot about birds.
@Aali & Rose there you go => ua-cam.com/video/zB3il0CZlFo/v-deo.html
I have a big cage not HUGE because they love going out sitting on my shoulder ECT; and this does help though
I found this site thru my roku device and find it very interesting. I've had budgies around since I was 12 and did have a breeding pair that hatched a successful clutch. Biggest thing I learned here though was using gravel grit in their diets. It was always included in budgie cage starter kits. I know better now
Good information
Hello i need help. i bought 4 budgies from pet store and tried to hold them with a cloth (that was before i knew anything about them.now i know better). now they hate me. whenever i try to get my hand in the cage they are either scared or try to bite me. I figured they needed time outside the cage so i let them free in the house but they were too scared that they kept flying and hiting themselves. what shall i do now?
I like my local pet store. They always mention the healthiest of diets, and they sell different sizes of cage. We only buy the WIDE and BIG cages for the best. The majority of them are just 28 centimeter-ish cages that I ABSOLUTELY HATE. But it’s okay, it’s easy to avoid. Budgies are my favorite birds because they’re amazing!
Thank you i am new to the budgieworld thank you so much greetings from the uk
Welcome :) I'm glad you are on board with us
@@BudgieWorld 😁
I don’t know what’s wrong with me I got a single budgie a couple days ago and now is feel so frustrated and sad I feel like I have failed him for just getting one and I feel like he hates me he hasn’t sang or played or ate from my hand and I put my hand in the cage way to often and I just feel horrible and I can’t shake the feeling but I love his sooooooo much and I just do t know what to do......
Dude get another one!! I'm genno pick mine = 2 up on Monday. People say there easy to tame one at a time but I just can't let myself get on at a time! Make Shaw you have a smaller cage to leave the new one in for about 2-3 days to introduce them. Good luck!!👍😉
Queastion, The branches you have in the cages, I would like to put some in my new cage, but not sure which ones to choose that are none tocsin. i have in my yard snow plant bush bush, passion flower bush, can you suggest any other to choose from..
here you can search in the table for toxic or safe trees => bit.ly/BudgieTrees
Number 2 applies to any bird to be honest. The biggest mistake I see young bird owners make is that they try to tame their bird by chasing them with their hand inside their cage. It's doing the exact opposite of taming, but because the bird gets tired and sits on their finger for a moment, they think it works.
I read that you had to do that, but I had no patience for it, so I just let him fly around and I put a movie from him on my phone and put a plant next to me on the couch. He just came towards me, sat on my head and on a stick I was holding, tasted my finger and picked my phone. He's phone tame now.
Renske de jonge this is honestly a wonderful way to tame your bird. I didn't tame my birds much before I let them out of the cage, I pretty much let them out the first day I got them because they have to get their daily exercise whether they're tame or not. Good job with your bird, he seems to really appreciate your presence, and I'm sure he'll learn to love you soon too. 😊
for everyone watching and worrying you can earn there trust back and it’s not unforgivable i have made a few of these mistakes but i got the trust back so don’t worry just put in the effort!!!!!
Hi, I have 2 baby budgies and their wings are clipped, we just got them a week ago and both of them are stepping up on my fingers and are fairly tame. They are eating from my hand and i’m introducing them to toys slowly. How should I let them out of the cage to explore the house and roam without scaring them or harming them? We’ve brought them out once but i’m afraid that when i’m attempting to bring them back in that i am not doing it correctly because they get scared of me when i try to pick them back up. Their wings are clipped so they cannot fly fully.
great series. Thanks. decades ago now. i acquired budgies -who could not want these beautiful creatures. Anyhow they didnt breed so were chucked out! i or my mum took them in.
i, wanted them to be happy but they'd never been allowed to fly. budgie proofed room. And the mistake was letting them out together in too big a room. the dominant in sheer panic bit off the others tale feathers. so the poor thing was forced to be my pal. but it caused jealousies. i was a boy. had we had utube then i would have done things very differently. much Thanks to You.
so. i would say start one at a time in a small room. And no sudden movement like chasing.. (sorry).
Before I go get my parakeet is windex ok if the bird will be upstairs or no?
I think I have 3 male 1 female in the large cage you have Does that sound ok
So dramatic at the beginning I liked it haha thank you 🙏🏼 ✨✨
Thanks for your tips. We like to let our budgies out for 1-2 hours a day. We have a tall playground on top of their huge cage but they still like to sit on the top of the window molding of our old farmhouse and chew up the paint and wallpaper. I try not to yell at them but I worry the paint might be toxic. I do not know the best way to get them to stay up on their cage. Of course they get to fly around and land back on the cage. I just worry about them eating paint chips. I add more and more toys and tree limbs to the top. Also swings, ladders, bells. But they still want to eat paint and wallpaper even though we give them millet, oatsprays, seed sticks, sprouts, and offer them fruit. Do you have any suggestions. I love them. Thank you. Your videos are great.
This may sound weird but I watched an episode of “My Cat from Hell”. The problem was the cat was destroying the sofa and such by scratching. Before they had their cat declawed (which is a vile practice) they thought they would try a cat trainer. What he did worked perfectly & the scratching was stopped permanently. So what he did was use super wide clear packing tape, rolled up ‘inside out’ ...you know, how you have the sticky side out & the ends taped together. OR if you can find double sticky tape, but it needs to be wide... apply the tape, sticky side out, over and along all the surfaces you don’t want your Budgie’s to be on. After they land on it (either just a few times or several) they will learn it’s not comfortable to land there. After it stops landing there, remove the clear tape and they still should not land on those places. Now, I’ve never done this with any bird and I don’t know if it would work, but I bet it would! Worth a try. BUT, I’d watch closely for the first landing on the tape to make sure it’s not too sticky.... we sure don’t want to catch our birds ‘fly paper’ style, or hurt in any way. Hope this might help... see if other Budgie owners would approve.
Hi I have a male and female and 2 Zebra finch in the cag with the budgie a crazy thing happend females were fiting for the male Zebra finch do you think they can mix up and make a new bird.
my bird sitting here eating seeds. me: here are some fruits
I recommend vegetables rather than fruits because fruits are high in sugar also make sure you don’t feed them avocados, citrus fruits, garlic, and onions btw onions you can cut just don’t feed them to your birds friend 🐦
@@duckyioo5166 i feed them mostly veggies
I do sometimes shout when both of my budgies do begin fighting with each other and try to hurt one another, it mustily works, is that as well bad for them, or may teach them something else? I don't want them to get used biting me whichever I try to put my finger in front of them so I don't normally try to separate them, is there any other method I could try so I can separate those little things and forbid them from fighting?
I got two parakeets a week ago. then I watched the video about cage sizes and I bought them a bigger cage. and when I just tried to get them to fly into the new cage by opening the doors and holding the cages together. They managed to squeeze by and get loos. How do I get them back into there cage without scaring them? I just got them a week ago and I haven't tried any fruits just mixed birdseed.
You need to do all the research before getting a bird. Not after you already have problems. You can’t get birds just because you think they are cute or look good. You need to put a lot more thought into it than with dogs. And you shouldn’t give fruit to them, only vegetables. Fruit has too much sugar and should only be used as a treat. You should do more research, and think about giving the birds up if you can’t give them everything they need. They need fresh vegetables every single day. They should not be pets for children, and are much harder to care for than cats or dogs. Also they can’t have any human foods.
Hi may u pls tell me what is the Yellow Thing u feed ur budgies
I don’t never hurt my birds,, but I do spray them with a little water and they love it
Some birds love a misting spray, especially on a hot day. I think he meant don't use a hard jet spray to punish them.
Do they have to have full spectrum lighting?
I made sure they have a healthy life and a big cage .They go outside when I'm in the same ryme they are active and I newer force them to do stuf .
I have a small cage and my budgie finds it better and he flies in the room whenever he wants. I love him
I just got a parakeet and it doesn’t have a cuttle bone or a mineral block how long can it go with out sharping it’s beak I also mist cool water on it for a bath how long can it go with out sharping it’s beak and a bath??
Men!!! Love you're spangled blue one on the video greetings from Mexico 👍👍👍
I hope you will see this and respond with advice. I bought a budgie one week ago and bought a second one a few days later. BUT it never occurred to me to look on UA-cam for advise!! We have done everything wrong!!! My husband has reached in cage twice a day to catch it and has held it for several minutes stroking and talking to it softy. They have not responded well!!! It occurred to me that we might be stressing them more than taming them! My granddaughter told me to look on UA-cam. Also I had them in a quieter place in the house so have moved them to the sitting room where they will see the activity of myself and husband and have TV. Though I have played bird music for them daily since I have had them. Do you think I have caused too much stress to ever be able to tame them now? Please advise. THANK YOU!!!!
I feel so bad about spraying my bird with water... I just try to get him clean but I think that’s why he’s scared of me 😭😔😭 I wish I could start over with him...
Mine was afraid the first couple of days but now he understands it is just part of the routine. I think what helped was a) doing it in the bathroom, b) first thing in the morning so he has time to dry, and c) letting him fly away when I’m done spraying him. That way he feels less coerced.
Lisette García thanks!!! But unfortunately we moved away last month and had to leave him with another family who loves him very much. At least they really care for him :)
I was spraying water as a punishment..because I didn't want them to go to that side of the room... but they thought I was rewarding them.. and they were having a bath! .. 🙄😅😍
As long you understand thier body language and respect them.. I think the trust can be rebuilt.. they don't loose trust for a long time. You are part of their flock.. and they have a forgiving nature
I have 2 lovebirds
I just found your channel. I really enjoy it. I have new budgies and trying to learn everything that I need to know. I have 3 young budgies...5 months and under. Is it necessary to have an even number of birds?
Dee Drole - we bird persons HIGHLY recommend that you ALSO READ books and magazines about budgies. It will affect the eventual joy of having them fly to your hand on command !!! Truly.
Yes it is important to have them in the equal number because if one of them gets left out, they will die from loneliness. I have 10 budgies and they are in pairs. All of them get along. So I will suggest you to get them in pairs and equal number. I hope it helps 😊
The less budgies you have the more important it is to have them in even number, I usually say the absolute minimum number of budgies that requires an even number is 6, which means 7 and above is fine, because the more budgies you have the less important it is to have them in even number.
however this number fluctuates and it is not precise. you could have a very happy 5 budgies with no problems, or 9 budgies and still one of them is left out. so if you are having an even number it important to keep a close eye and see if someone is being left out.
I’ve had my first budgie for like 5 or 6 days and he can eat out of my hand and can walk on my hand without getting scared is that good I have no idea his cage is in my bed room so I see him a lot can someone tell me if this is ok?
I have the biggest cage I could find online for my 2 budgies
My birds eat seeds and veggies I have tried to feed my birds pellet but they won’t eat them
Only one of my bird is tame and the other one is very scared of me even know I have Reyes many times to tame it witch is annoying but I would never shout at them
Nice it helped
My birds cage is smallish but he only sleeps/eats in it, I put him up when I go to sleep and letting him out is the very first thing I do when I wake up.
Is this acceptable?
Yes. As long as it's safe, and it's pretty much only for sleeping and food, a small cage is okay if it's all you can afford or have space for. Of course, a large cage is still preferable, but based on your schedule, it should be okay
same here. mine isn't small but not big for my tiel either. but he only sleeps in it or plays with toys every now and then and i leave the cage open until sleepy time. he chills in the rooms with us amd has his own wooden playground with water and food
I've got a cage tha tag can fit a macaw for my 2 budgies it's not meant for macaws but it can fit one in
Having cats or dogs near the budgie
is it bad to have dogs around them? I want to get 2 budgies but my sister has two female dogs.
Takashi Lien dogs and cats are predators and they don’t mix well with small birds or birds in general but if you really want to have budgies then keep the birds separated from the dogs and make sure there is a specific room for the birds and only the birds no dogs past that point they will die from being overly stressed from being near predators
Takashi Lien My budgie loved my dog.
Mc Golden Freddy My budgie loves my dog and would talk to her. My dog just ignored him. He would fly over and talk to my dog.
My dog bit my budgie and i panicked so bad cuz poor little lemon was in his mouth he is ok he has no cuts or punctures to the skin
I am a new budgie parent. I adopted one from a friend of mine. I feel that the cage is too small so I bought a larger cage and he looked great in it.. The problem is that he wasn't going to his food bowl to eat or drink. He's a nervous bird and really not socialized., he wouldn't eat out of my hand. What do I do to get him moved to a bigger cage and he wouldn't starve himself. Also I would like to get a buddy for him. Do you think that's a good idea? Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
don't worry, if he's not ill he wouldn't starve himself to death.
it might be that he's just still accommodating, it takes time in 2 days you will see a totally different bird happy and chirping in his new awesome big home.
I have a video about 1 or 2 budgies => ua-cam.com/video/ljeJrcd7WeY/v-deo.html
Good list. I would add the fact that bird respiratory systems are fragile. Smoke of any kind, any sprays or air freshener, deodorant, incense, candles and non stick cookware can all be lethal to your bird. If you have your birds inside you need to research heavily, everything you use to clean or freshen yourself or your home. And don't clean a bird cage with anything other than vinegar and water or f10 or possibly a very mild, grey water safe dish liquid in water before rinsing very well.
here a huge mistake that just personally annoyed me when a family member said it to me. "there no point in taking the budgies to a vet since their life span is very short anyway" a well taken care of budgie can live up to anywhere from 4-5 years to even 15 years if u take really good care of it along with it not having any illnesses they where born with
the story behind it if anyone interested, i noticed my 3 budgies have a crusty beak unlike almost all the budgies i could find on yt, so dug into it & long story short. discovered its a mite problem & the nearest avian vet is in another city. so i just told my grandma i was planning to take my budgies to a vet with my dad, & she basically mentioned that its pointless due to their short life span. & thats basically it, regardless of type of pet it is a hamster goldfish or something long living like a dog, if u notice it have any illness u should still take it to the vet, even if their average life span is a year, & is nothing for u. for the animal this year period is everything & letting it slowly die of an illness is just cruel :v
I just got a male and female about 3 months back "Im new to budgies". Their a bit young still and bearly getting used to me around them. Their not as afraid anymore, they have a big cage but are not trained. I would like for them to come out once and a while since I heard being in the cage for long isn't good. I dont know if I should let them out in a small room if their not trained? I just want whats best for them they are very sweet.
My budgie marble has a deformed toe due from a small mite that bored into her toe and it said only in severe untreated cases it can cause deformities
*F O R E V E R*
Can you talk about the budgies chirping I really want to know about there saying and meaning
Lol I can’t tell if you’re being serious
DL Jas I wish I new what budgies was saying to us
I've dealt with very very picky budgies who have only eaten seeds for years of their life and I've got a mix that gets them used to a varied diet. Firstly introduce egg food (it's yellow powdery and used in some treat sticks) and mix it in with seeds. i find harrisons bird pellets the smallest ones added in also trick them because they're so small and shaped/coloured like seeds so they eat them as they're eating seeds. One veg I've yet to have a bird dislike is spinach. Especially my baby budgies get so excited about spinach you'd think it was millet being put in. From there you can easily add in other greens
I have a question please someone answer me.. The cage at 1:57 min is it good for my budgie? And if i have 2 is it enough or shud i pick a larger one??
it is good for 2 budgies

I have 1 budgie baby that I bought at the pet store. Do we give it a mirror in its cage???? We are retired and home a lot but of course there will be hours where he is on his own. So we turn on the radio. But the big question is yes or no to mirrors in or out of the cage when they are so young
I believe this should help you out => ua-cam.com/video/Ya1u2fcnmAI/v-deo.html
I recently bought another budgie, but it doesn't seem to want to be with me at all. Everytime I get it out of the cage, he just flys back to be with the other budgie. When I get them both out together, they wont go near me they will just go to each other. The newer one is young, and is drinking much water so I'm trying to use a syringe but everytime it perches on me it just leaves.
My grandson was traumatized when his parakeet found a mouse trap behind the refrigerator. Fortunately, they were able to get the trap off of his little friend in time.
There was a lady who told a story about how she accidentally sucked up her bird in the vacuum cleaner when she was cleaning the cage. She said the bird never talked after that. I would suggest never using an open nozzle on your vacuum.
My birds right now have laid eggs and have been hurting eachother in self defense to the point where they’re limping and bleeding, weve seemed to get that problem covered but whenever they do argue my mom yells at them in hopes to get them to stop. In the video it said to not yell at the birds, would that count too since she tries to stop them getting hurt?
If you look at any breeding video I have, I always say separate the breeding pair, this is how you solve the problem, not by yelling or punishing the budgies in any form
Budgie World thank you. We usually do seperate the 2 birds but this time we weren’t sure which birds to seperate because 2 birds had mated with the same female bird so they kept fighting over her and the eggs. Might sound weird but I’m not sure how to word it haha
My budgie keeps backing away from my hand when I try to pick him up. And he will jump on my hand then then jump off right away. Can anyone tell me why?
@aaden okay thanks!
when the budgie bites me i don t move my hands but i give them some air using my mouth can i do it ??? after that it dose not bite.
2 things little budgies depend on: gentle hands and a soft voice. I keep my budgie used to my hand being close to her sometimes, but never in a threatening manner. I want her to always know that my hands will NEVER hurt her.
plz can u tell me if brocli and carrots and lettace is ok i have never gave him vegetables before and he is nearly 10 yrs old my x boyfriend passed away suddenly and it was his budie his mom does not like birds so i ended up with charlie i know nothing on budgies so glad i found you 👍
I'm sorry to hear that, yes vegetables play important role in budgie diet, it consists of 20% of their diet, the veggies you mentioned are all fine to give your bird, however there are some that are toxic, so always ask before you feed your bird something for the first time. and yes please give the bird veggies, it is very healthy :)
@@BudgieWorld Thank you
Just so you know, it will take a long time to get him to eat veggies if he hasn’t had them his whole life. You should find some strategies online. Also, when you say lettuce, what type do you mean? Iceberg lettuce is bad for them.
@@TheFluffyTheropod There was no need to be nasty with me i am trying my best i cannot do more than that and he was in a tiny cage so i brought him a much bigger one and he is enjoying eating his carrots so i do try my best with him u really upset me on ur other comment u sent me 😞
Hi... One mistake I did and I learnt from it is to not let the bird out of the cage all the time. Unfortunately I did it and now my cockatiel, despite he is tamed, does not want to stay on my hand neither to come when I call him. I think he took control on me 😢 if you have any advise for me thank you so much
Whats your cage size? I got 4 budgies.. i put it in 60cm(L) × 40cm (W) x 40cm ( T)..please help me... thanks
I only spray them because they sometimes fight and they cut each other very rarely but they still trust me
My new born bugie is 10-12 days old. It is active, but always lying on its back, upside down. What could be the problem? Will it be able to stand on its legs automatically?
They always fall on their backs at that age, just keep an eye on it, if this continues until it’s relatively big then you should be worried.
I did a lot of research of owning a budgie,
Most of those mistakes are from pet store, I once bought 2 budgies, a male one and a female one, luckily the male one is healthy but the female one passed away after I had her for 10 days, most budgies may seem healthy but there’s a 50% 50% that they could be sick, I didn’t notice any sickness or anythin, she looked active etc
Will budgies 2 tail feathers grow back, and if so how long dose it take?
Sometimes they do and sometimes they dont. Mine fell off and it took around 2-3 weeks to grow back:)
I also have another question the budgie i have is old now do i get a friend or his he just used to being on his own also not sure wot seed mix to get and are seed bells and egg stick treats ok for them as iv noticed these in petshops plz help one worried budgie owner who knows nothing on budgies 😞
Do research
Dude you need to find him a new home. You need to do all the research before you get a budgie. If you know nothing it is absolutely cruel to get one. They are MUCH harder to care for that dogs. They need a huge cage, fresh vegetables every single day and lots of toys, you need at least two budgies, and their cage needs to be at least big enough for ten budgies to fly around without a problem. It absolutely disgusts me seeing comments from people who got a bird just because they could. You need to do your research. Seed bells are not a proper diet and are just treats. They need to be on a seed mix, and you need to cut them fresh vegetables every day.
@@TheFluffyTheropodFor ur information i rescued him when no one else wanted him and he does have fresh veg daily and got plenty ov toys i was only asking about fkn lettace so go troll someone else u weirdo
sharron gray you shouldn’t be feeding him carrot. They need a variety. At least five five different veggies every day, and you shouldn’t give much carrot as it is very sugary.
I have one alone bugie (female) she does not eat anything expect milet. She always try to run back to the cage well, I don't force her now but she just freezes in the corner of cage and stare at me or at window. It's been almost a month that have her, i found her in the back of our house and yeah she is not able to fly as well
Lot of thing happen in life. You can only take reasonable care. There life in wildernesses is short. They live in captivity much more. In wilderness they live in fear of getting killed. Lot of them die in such harsh conditions. You should also consider it. But one should properly care for them . That's it. You have shared nice info. With others but if you do it without getting obsessed with budgies. That will be good .
I have a very loud household and am thinking of adopting a budgie. This won’t affect him will it? Also I’m getting a huge cage where is the recommended place to put it? An I’m only adopting 1 to begin with how can I keep him company when I’m at school? Couple toys in the cage? Please help. I want too know everything before I get one. Thanks
I think this playlist is good for you, I made it for new budgie owners :) => ua-cam.com/video/2PH30cNPjVI/v-deo.html
Unless you are planning on having them out for the whole time that you’re home, you definitely need to adopt two or more. A few toys won’t help this. Even when there are two ore more, they still need heaps of toys. Caring for two budgies is no harder than caring for one, and until you can do that, you shouldn’t get a budgie.
Is there a protective cover for your hand, to hold it and the bite will not hurt?
I have 2 budgies and one of them dont let me to touch it what should i do now how i gain my budgie trust🤔
yes I really need to give a better diet for my budgie and give their time outside
Is the bird shown in 3:06 sick? Because one of my budgies do the same, and I can not tell if it is sick or not
My budgies love strawberry 🍓
So cute, but make sure they don’t have it too often. It has lots of sugar and should only be a treat.
I am afraid that if I keep my budgies outside the cage,they will fly.How do you keep them come to you.
Join with some other bird food experts- Marlene Mc Cohen and BirdTricks plus Love of Pets and Parrot Playhouse. These people know each other and have detailed demonstrations of how to prepare budgie and also Big parrot food- Soooo important! The veggies especially. Lots of veggies, little fruit.
