Only the ignorant owners keep a budgie in a small cage, never take it out, and basically ignore it, and still think it is 'happy'. There are lots of good budgie owners... unfortunately though, the majority of owners are those who are EXTREMELY uneducated and think that exotic birds are 'domesticated' like dogs and cats. They are NOT domesticated, and thus, very difficult to properly care for. Something that pet stores don't like to tell their customers... money, money, money.
This^, I own a pet a budgie and made the mistake of not getting her out to fly when she was younger, now she doesn’t like to leave her cage and I feel awful knowing I’ve effectively deprived her
These budgies basically swim in a huge pond for a drink of water. While my two budgies are scared to death of a drop of water and mainly use their water bowl for a toilet 😆
I played this video at a good amount of volume next to my budgie, and she started to chrip a lot. :) Budgies are just so adorable. Beautiful creatures. They always mesmerise me. There little beaks, wings, there colours. Amazing birds created by God.
Parrots are not only super smart and quick learners, but exceptionally quick and agile in full flight. The way that one budgie jukes, ducks and feints the hawk is so impressive!
I have many parrots including budgies and while watching the video, each time the falcon attacked, my heart dropped, I was like please please please escape and survive little birdy. Anyone else had that feeling?
we've had resident Lorikeets in the South East of England for decades now, millions of them, they brighten up the days and seeing them makes me smile every time. They get closer to the coast every year and one day i hope i get to see them in my garden.
But humans don't eat Budgies, instead they provide them with love, gentle pets, easy tasty food, treats, safe leisurely baths and drinking, plus top notch veterinary care their entire lives. Not sure that's a bad deal, honestly!
I've seen a flock of corella parrots in Western Australia, fly directly up towards a circling sea eagle looking for ducks in the local bushland park lake. They circled the eagle tighter and tighter restricting it's wing flap area and forward movement area so that it lost height, dropped below the flock and shot off back towards the beach. Also as they circled, the corelleas squawked at a deafening pitch. I sometimes see the ducks sitting high up in the more horizontal fat gum tree branches, resting on their flat webbed feet amongst their corella parrot friends.
Why are pilots risking their careers by admitting there is no earth curve? Over 44 NASA, Government and military documents assume earth is flat and non-rotating. The 2nd Law of Thermodynamics says outerspace is fake; you can't have gas pressure next to a vacuum. You can collect $200,000 if you prove earth spin or curve. No one has ever proved this because there is no curve. Emergency flight paths make no sense on a globe and make perfect sense on a flat earth. NASA uses green screens and CGI to fool people into their spinning-ball religion. NASA has air bubbles in their "outerspace" videos because it's filmed underwater to fake weightlessness. Astronauts use wires and harnesses to fake weightlessness so people believe in the "outerspace" religion. Every picture of "outerspace" is a fake cartoon image that NASA admits is fake.
aww this is beautiful to hear that you provide such a wonderful environment for your birds. people are often amazed to come to our home and find that our birds shower, watch tv, fly around from floor to floor and eat with us. the cage is only for sleeping purposes. I like to think of all animals as children. they need active care ^^
You're right,I also let my budgie free 24h,but they go themselves in the cage even when you remove them and tell them go and play,bcz they know this is their home now and they get food there and drink.
i had a blue budgie a couple of years ago, and he was a little streak of lightning. i was so sad when he died; but i won't get another bird, because i've come to the conclusion that it's quite cruel to keep such an active animal indoors. it often isn't until you interact with one up close (over a long period of time) that you realise this - how much they deserve the sky.
@@matildabahadori2913 you do know that its not cruel to keep one indoors? I have a cockatiel and I would love to get a budgie next year if possible, but its your opinion.
while in GEMTREE australia watched the budgies fly out, the tree in the morning then massive swarm return in evening hard to fathom how they avoid each other in circling UNFORGETABLE SIGHT.
I get it - however, at 1:22, the narrator said: "Budgies can perform some of the fastest maneuvers of any bird. They are so skilled, they even sneak in a drink between attacks.".
+Bk Jeong No budgies out fly the falcon. A falcon may be as fast at flying, but it is not as agile as a Budgie. That is why in this video when you saw the falcon single out that one Budgie for several tries at capturing it, every time the Budgie would dive or turn. Losing the falcon in the process. The narrator even said Budgies can perform some of the fastest maneuvers of any bird. Which equates to agility.
Zech Of The West DID YOU JUST SAY A FALCON IS STUPID? Predators REQUIRE high intelligence levels. They fail not because they are stupid (they are almost always smarter or as smart as what they kill) but because brain doesn't always work.
+Hank of of the hairy frank Hill of semen ass fill budgies are smart, but not as smart as african grey parrots. Also, ravens and crows are high up there when it comes to smart birds in general.
+Bk Jeong Not always, Owl's for example have a relatively small brain for their size they're all about vision, birds in the crow family though smaller are far smarter, and parakeets punch well above their weight intelligence wise.
Nicholas Pasty Brain size does not matter for intelligence. (Albert Einstein for example had a very small brain for a human). Parrots are outliers in terms of intelligence, though crows are not, because opportunists are generally as smart as predators.
"They can even sneak in a drink during the middle of an attack" @2:09 my mans was taking a full on bath lmaoo and that drop maneuver to avoid getting grabbed, these birds are so op.
I knew budgies are such a skilled Flyers I used to raise them and watch them how they fly so fast But I was shocked to see how they can dodge a falcon that’s incredible
yeah to out manoeuver a raptor is quite the fete the drop just b4 being grabbed was the go to move and to grab a quick drink while being hunted is also a in your face type move they are tough little guys who I have much more respect for just for surviving the harsh environment but to also out fly your major predators who are raptors well that's just awsome.
My budgie is a fast, sneaky lil guy!! And I know he understands when I tell him not to go on certain parts of the floor in our house! THIS is proof that he's quick n smart, it's his nature 😆
I have six that fly twice a day for up to an hour. Some of them stay behind in the cage, but we take them out to fly. Exercising their wings often is important. We’re lucky because we got the six most intelligent, healthy and affectionate budgies I’ve ever seen. They’re a part of our family as much as any loved pet could be.
@IslamTheMuslim I love my birds but I NEVER encourage anyone to get one. I think a bird needs to spend most of its time outside the cage, it needs a lot of personal attention and it needs to be trained. Most people can't or won't do this.
My 6 budgies (parakeet) were in a huge flight cage 6x6x4’ with nest boxes, branches and toys, the dad of the group lived to 18, (very long lived for a parakeet!)his mate was 15 when she passed on, but none of the 4 babies made it past 6 😢.
Just got recommended to me today (thanks, algorithm) - Imagine having 100s of potential meals parade right in front of you and being unable to catch even one of them
No budgie, or any wild bird or animal for that matter, deserves to live its life imprisoned in a cage, small or large, deprived of its natural relationships and activities just to please humans.
My bird loves its cage, you know why? I give him fresh vegetables and fresh water every day. I let him fly around the house, many hours per day , its cage inside the house provides him a safe and good sleep , without having to worry about night predators , many toys to play , or just mess around in house.. I also have another bird, so it wont feel alone, only with human company. You know where does it go to sleep by itself when he flies inside the house ? In its CAGE!....
I gave my budgie Sunny a female budgie friend as well. Free flying in this apartment and pots of plants they like to mess with the dirt. I am the maid to clean up their mess, their caretaker and their friend. They sleep in their cage at night too. It is their safe place.
rafat alam Since my birds are domesticated they can’t survive in the wild anymore and they actually prefer their cage. But I agree with you I want to see budgies in their natural habitat.
that always amazed me U would think they would run into each other but they seem to do fine flying in synch like u said without colliding with one another
Mi padre hace muchos años recogió a un periquito australiano, nos duro con vida sólo 7 años, lo quisimos mucho y descubrimos qué son muy inteligentes nunca hizo por irse de la casa y aparte aprenden muchas cosas como cantar, jugar, bailar y son muy obedientes! Jajajajajaja
This type of flocking behavior really works. Notice that huge schools of small fish, like anchovies and sardines, do the same thing. Once you bunch up like this and you flock together with tens of thousands of individuals of your same species, the crowd starts getting a weird mind of its own. It's the crowd's mind of its own, and the terrible confusion that the crowd/flock/school can engender in much bigger predators, that makes flocking behavior so beneficial. This also happens to humans--when humans gather in huge crowds, the crowd starts having a mind of its own. This is also when crowding can become extremely dangerous to individual humans, as stampedes of humans have been known to kill hundreds to thousands of people. It just happened in Indonesia a few days ago, when a huge crowd of about 10,000 terrified men stampeded up the sides of a soccer stadium, killing over 100 people.
... and then there are people who keep them ALONE in a small cage! *shakes head* How could they??!! If these people haven't realised by now, after watching a video like this, that budgies are actually only happy if they live in a flock, together with their long time mates, then I don't know... How can a budgie owner watch this and still keep a single budgie, convinced that it is "happy"??
