I just got a new bird. I've had him for three days I was sitting next to him on my bed watching this and I showed him... he seems to love your videos and I am so happy that he is happy in his new room
I love your setup for your babies!! I got inspired and put up a little overhead toy area with grass mat like yours. I don’t have bad many toys yet but I just watched your DIY toy making video so I think I’ll get busy 😋
Awesome... man they have a Great Life with you!!! btw How do you keep track of them so as not to "step" on them?? I've heard, read and been told that this is the #1 way Parrotlets die...from being stepped on since they are so small..Anyhow... with such a big room for them with lots going on...How do you keep track of where they are...thus keeping them "safe"?? I am going to be a first time Parrolet mom in 2wks and I will just DIE if I ever killed mine by stepping on her!
Don't let your birds on the floor. Keep their cages and their toys high, and when you're hanging out with them, keep them on your shoulder or on a table but DON'T let them on the floor! They get stressed when they're on the floor, plus it's dangerous, for the reason you stated -- they get stepped on and killed. They feel much better in high places. Again, don't let your bird on the floor.
depends on the bird. my bird loves to run on the floor and I constantly need to look after her. she even plays with my feet. You just need to be rll careful
you're such a great youtuber. I really like the way you treat you're birds. and i like the way how you explain your tricks. you have another subscriber!
Hi😊 I really enjoy watching this video i got a Lot of ideas making toys and I go make some hanging things too for my 3 little birds. I love that hanging paradise of yours. I really like it and i know my birds love that if i do that to my room😊 thanks for the tour.
Ik this is super late, but she's mentioned before that she purchased it from Westcoast Tropical bird studio (Vancouver Canada). They sell a great variety of awesome Cages, Perches, Toys, Treats, etc.
I adore your setup! I have had a question though and can't seem to find out the answer. What kind of perches are the lighter colored, thin multi-branched ones inside your cages? I assume they're from outside, or did you perhaps buy them? Thanks! Your two p'lets are just precious, by the way!
+Flock-Talk Thanks! I checked, they don't ship to the US sadly. But thank you for letting me know what kind they are! I'll be sure to look for some for my little ones.
I only have one tiny cage where they mostly eat and drink otherwise they are free to roam, lots of natural branches and live plants which end up being their favorite. I took down their mirror, (thanks). Could you do more on live plants and trees?
I would love to see a video on how to set up a new flight cage for a Parrolet. Position of perches, food bowls, water bottle and toy and any additional advise you may have for new owners. Thanks
Hii love your videos! Do you like having those two cages in one, for your parrotlets? I have a cockatiel and a Quaker parrot, I was thinking of upgrading to a cage similar to yours, would you recommend it, for those two types of birds?😁
Lovely Birdroom! If I may ask, What is the Cage called where you keep the girls in? I'm planning on Getting a male Budgie in 3 weeks, I'd like to supply him with a large comftable cage where he has space to strech his wings. I've been scanning through your videos, searching for an answer, yet I havn't seemed to find out. I've binge watched all of your videos regarding the care, And i must say I love your channel! Keep it up! :')
I want to get a budgie but I travel usually every year around December. I can't take them with me. I might be able to leave them with a friend but I'm not completely sure. Also, what type of rope do you use for your bird room. You have them hung up, you said you can use cotton. So what type of rope do you use?
can you suggest basics of taking care of a bird. my birds don't really sleep unless everyone is asleep. and that's like 12 am. And they're supposed to sleep for at least 10 hours. they're getting only half of the required sleep. we have a really small house so can't really give them a separate room. Please help. we cover them really well but there's a lot of noise
I’m not sure if I missed this, but I thought birds would see the outdoors in the windows and fly into them? Is there a way to “desensitize” them to it or..?
Hey! I'm sorry if you've answered it already, but where do you buy your parrot's toys? Can you recommend some good websites? I don't live in the US so it'd be really helpful if you could recommend websites that ship internationally. Thanks!
Hi! I was wondering where you got your cage. I'm thinking of getting a new cage. I have 4 budgies, but they are separated 2 and 2. If you have any suggestions a a cage(s), I'd appreciate it. Thanks a lot!
amazing bird room, I would never have the space or time :( what's the overall relationship between mia and zeeby? I'm planning on getting a parrotlet but don't know what species (pacific, etc) and if I need to feed it a specific brand of bird feed or should I even feed it bird food?? I've been told there should never be a strictly seed diet and there should be a variety of veggies and other things (please help me with that too haha). and if parrotlets have trouble being alone, should I get a second one? thank you :)
milk fangs me too ! I am thinking of buying a nice small budgie , from what I know , you should feed them veggies fruits and seeds, all you heard about the diet is correct , and be nice to tame with your budgie and have good time with !
hello! sorry, I know this was written 2 years ago, but I still wanted to reply. You definitely need to feed vegetables, and keep seed to a minimum. Fruits are very high in sugar, I only feed fruit every few days as a treat. The list of vegetables you can feed almost feels endless, lol, but definitely read up on the toxic list. NEVER feed avocados, DO NOT feed mushrooms, spinach, apple seeds, etc. AVOID feeding citrus fruits, tomatoes, etc, (I just wouldn't feed it at all). But definitely feed different leafy greens such as romaine lettuce, red leaf lettuce, swiss chard, bok choy, kale, etc. Cabbage and spinach are not recommended in big quantities as it can bind calcium. You can also feed things like broccoli, cauliflower, bell peppers, chilli, cucumber, zucchini, corn, carrot (if organic, include the carrot tops), snap peas, green beans, peas, Brussel sprouts, asparagus, beetroot, and so much more! I would also recommend sprouting seeds, but if that's too overwhelming, don't worry, you don't have to, it is just extremely beneficial and so nutritional for your parrot. I recommend the TOPS pellets. They are completely organic, cold pressed with no artificial colours, flavours, no additives, so natural and healthy. I can confidentially say that they are the healthiest option for your parrot. The reasoning behind not feeding too many seeds is basically they are straight up fat. Yes, a large portion of a wild birds diet will consist of seed, but they also eat other things such as fruit, vegetables, sprouts, grains and more, and any fat they do get from the seeds and nuts they eat, they burn off from the miles and miles that they fly out in the wild, and they don't even consume that much fat. Yet most captive birds don't fly nearly a portion of that in a day (if at all) and are just given seeds. It can lead to severe health problems such as fatty liver disease. So this is why we need to feed other things and give them seeds sparingly. Now the fats from seeds can be good for them but just keep them to a minimum. I don't know much about parrotlets and their breeds (like nothing lol) but I can help you with information about a friend for your bird. Now you should be your parrots friend, you should be able to spend multiple hours out of your day with your bird, if you don't have the time, you shouldn't get a bird. But if you buy two birds that have been raised together, that could easily work, they just might not be as human friendly. If you already have a bird, I wouldn't recommend getting a second bird as a "friend" for your first, because if they don't get along, they can literally kill each other. If you felt your bird was getting bored, provide it with plenty of foraging toys and shreddable toys. If you still wanted to give it a shot, make sure you bring the second bird home with its own cage and set of bowls and everything and then if they do get along then that is a win but if not that is ok too. But lets say you brought home a second bird, but this second bird and your first bird got really close and started loving each other, they might kick you out and get very anti-social with humans. I hope this helped :) - kind regards :)
Hi ! I was wondering about parrotlets and green cheek conure . I am definitely going to permanently house them separately , but I was wondering if they could play together in the indoor bird room and the outdoor bigger bird cage we are going to have outside . The Parrotlet is going to be the new bird and I wanted to be able to exercise them at the same time . Also I will be studying outside so I can’t supervise them really closely. Would this work ?
sorry to be late, do your birds ever pull on the steel eater dishes? my budgies do it alot and oh my, it's annoying. is it because there bored? I try making them small toys but they are never interested, I got a small plastic seed dish and got alot of supplies at home -small seashells,bark,rope. in the morning I find the shells broken up in a beak shape and all thrown out lol. is that a good sign
They don' t need their own room, though it sounds nice to have one, it is optional. A good sized cage (depends on bird) with plenty of space to fly, perches, food and water bowls (duh), maybe a a bathing bowl (unless your bird chooses to bathe outside of the cage), lots of shredding toys, foraging toys, and maybe a place to sleep like a bird safe hut (best homemade because the pet store ones from my experience aren't very good and Flock Talk mentions that too in one of her vids) should be just fine for a bird. Just make sure they spend plenty of time outside their cage everyday, they would love as much of your company as possible!
this is so cool i wish i could have something like this for my bird! I'm wondering, how do you make sure your birds don't fly into walls? Mine's wings are just growing back after being clipped for the first 4 months i had him so he's excited that he can fly but he keeps flying into things and i dont want him to get hurt so im not taking him out but he wants to come out its the worst dilemma lol anything helps!!
Hello i really need your advice. I just got a baby parrotlets and I'm trying to train him to step up and down but he really wont stay on my finger long enough for me to teach him. I am training him in front of his cage so that might be a mistake. Thing is i cant take him to another room cause if i do get him on my finger if i l race his cage area he will fly back to his cage. I dont know if maybe when he'll get older he wil step up and down. I do let him out everyday so he can have some time out he usually stays arou d his cage. I was told to get a small cage and teach him to perch from there and gradually bring him to a bigger cage. I would think i should start training now while he's young right? Also his only favorite treat is millet he is only 8 weeks old and im trying to introduce him to new foods but he tries them but wont really eat anything but his seeds and sometomes his pellets. I mix the seeds with the pellts. Please help!
I have a dog (pekingese) and my sister and I were thinking of getting a bird. Do you know about any that would get along with dogs? Is it a good or bad idea to keep them in the same house?
IAMOS IAmMyOwnSenpai I know I'm not flock talk XD,but it matters on the personality of your pets.I have a dog and two birds and from my experience,my dog goes crazy once I start petting them for some reason🐶🐥Also,I don't think it's a good idea to let your dog see them straight away.Birds will see them as predators,and won't trust you easily anymore.Start it off easy,watch some RU-vid vids for some more advice ;-)
What a lovely room ! love this video ! thank your so much for sharing :D Is it possible to get your permission to translate this video into Chinese and share ? I really hope this video can be watched by more Taiwanese bird breeder
thank you so much :) It would be really helpful for bird breeders in Taiwan ! (there aren't many bird bloggers making great educational videos in TW as you do.) Would it be possible for other videos as well? I would make sure to show your original links when I post, and try to promote this great channel as much as possible !
I know a green cheek conure is slightly larger than a budgie, but the start-up cost for my GCC was about 600-700 dollars. It is about twenty dollars every month or so for toys, not including food. Good luck if you get a budgie, and be sure to check rescues, and please don't buy from a pet store. Good luck! :)
Sorry if I come off as rude, but your cage alone should cost 100+, or that is wayy too small of a cage. Yes I am aware they may be cheaper than a Conure, but birds are just expensive pets in general.
Hi, I was wondering if you or anyone browsing the comments could tell be what treats I should get for training my parakeet, Kiwi will refuse to eat millet. Also, I cannot get kiwi to get veggies, any way I could get her to? Thanks -MonkeyBean
I have two parakeets that i got since i was 7 and now Im 11 and i feel.bad for no taking care of them. (I take care of thier basic needs like food, water, cleaning cage etc.)
