Budgie Body Language | part 1 

Yeah me too I Thought I hurted her foot while holding her

Yeah, no worry ahah, perching is a great sign of good health. It means you're bird is comfortable and also strong enough.

well to be fair, if a bird's leg was broken, they would stand on one leg. I've had one that broke its leg. but usually if it's broken, they will dangle the leg off to the side and it will be obvious they're struggling if they move around. But with perching, they usually tuck their other foot up into their feathers so you can't see it.

LoL... Then when they stick their head under a wing on one foot.... has to be so comfortable, don't you agree? :)

Oof

Ready for take pff 3.2.1. SIKEE

Yes this was very helpful and informative! At first, I was really scared of watching this, cuz I've always thought that my budgies might be sick, or angry. And idk why. But thank goodness that they are very happy! When they were like poking their beaks to eachother or something, I've always thought that they were mad at eachother. And I didn't realize that they were actually feeding eachother, after watching this vid! And when my budgie was yawning, I've always thought that they were mad or scared. But I've also learned that my budgie is also sometimes..... Annoyed. Or maybe nervous. Btw, thank u super much for this video! I tought that this video would have too much explaining, which is something I don't really like. (Maybe bcs it's becoming kinda boring or something.) But this one, is not like those videos! It has very cute music, and also descriptions! Too cute! I'm a new sub!

My male budgie loves my female cockatiel But the cockatiel doesn't like him back and it's just really sad that my budgie is trying to impress her meanwhile she doesn't care for him lmao

The Red Sterling Mc'Bae do you cage them together?

Hey what to do if the bird is not eating

@Strawbxrrie Starshine thank you, I'll try🙂

Mine courts my pet lovebird

That's budgie fact : *They can turn their head up to 180°*

Same

That means they sleep

@@dennythebudgie hi

Mine is doing that right now

Mizukage The 7th he looks exactly like my bird called buddy

Mizukage The 7th sane tho! but mines named ‘Peep’ after my pfp (Lil Peep/ my favorite rapper)

That looks like my bird named pixel

@@b4tsguts410 thanks

Same here but she *has* to stay in her cage cause she untrained ,🕊🕊🏛 Her name is Diamond 💎

Thank you this help me

Yes

My bird does almost the same but with a faster tempo, can it be panting as well? (Last time i observed was when it were preening after an intensive flight. ) can it be that it was just overheated? Cuz I am so worried.

dude ur pinned

Haha LOL 😂

Try owning just females.... Different story.. act more like drunk girls in the club..lol... My girls are loud... aggressive.... And nasty.. Always starting $h!t

Yep it was 2 years ago when I had only 2 budgies and fell in love with your channel, I had a lot of clips of my birdies so I decides to do the same.. it would be rude if I did not give you a credit! 🥺

I thought they were just eating o.o

Cottegecore_ Bisexual i thought he was trying to sleep but annoyed by the noises i made OOF

I thought he was dying, thank god I found this video

@@Fr4gileGh05t i thought they were saving food like a hamster

It's not my bird xD

Well done! Also vet will help, you can also do poop analysis or vet can watch for mites etc. There is big number of videos about treatment or prevention for sicknes. My budgie Denny had respiratory infection and now he has psittacois. He has low immune system

Thank you! 😂

Me too I wanted to know body language but I .......killed him(on accident) I hit him without he was there so I wanted him to make babies with one of my females 💗💗💗💝💝💝😅😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😢😢☹😤

xXCindy LoveXx I think no more budgies for you...Have a hammy ster they are fun

@@mrsliqors love that name hon! But yeah no more budgies for meh Though I am going to sell or give them back to the store but still not now yet

@@xxcindylovexx5463 How did you hit it?

It's not cruel. My parakeet is very happy and he is the only one I have. He gets new toys every couple weeks, new treats, he flies out and plays with my mirror and my echo dot, and is always showing me how happy he is. Parakeets deserve a nice home and not left to die (or be ate). They also live longer lives than what they do in the wild.

Zebratje Like the person said above, it’s not cruel. Budgies, like cats and dogs are actually domestic pets meaning that they’ll be a lot more comfortable and live longer if they’re around an atmosphere or environment that isn’t out in the wild. Parakeets/budgies aren’t like certain wild animals such as Sparrows, Eagles, and etc. they’re considered pets whom us humans should heavily take care of and treat them with the best care. 😊

You know, the budgies we got from petsores, refuges, or where else... They're nothing like wild parakeets. They're born captive, like their parents and grand parents. One thing you could've done is tam youtr budgy, being his life partner. Of course any social creature will love their own kind. But when they are alone with us, they will want to be with us. I got two budgies and they're free in my apartment for hours. Yeah they got two mirrors, they got each other, toys and a big tree branch. But they don't fly for hours, they don't want to and don't need to as long as they can be free pretty much all day, everyday, they're living at their best. Always getting attention when I'm there, music when I'm gone to work. They're happy. They play, they sing, they fly around. They know when they sleep and when they wake up. They have company of my two cats and yes they are free with them and nothing ever happen, my cats never kept me from letting my budgies free (because I'm there and always watching). My first budgy lived up to ten years old (he was eleven) and my dad was his life's partner. They were always together. That bird never got blred out of his mind. Now my dad has a budgy, 10 years old too and he's been free 24h/7 for 7 years now. He has a nice set up of tree branches, fake plants and toys, his cage too but only for nap time or eat. He has a nice life too. :)

@@grace1117 of course if you take them outside... They will fly away, they want to fly, not for hours none stop, but they want and need to fly sometimes... But if you're taking them out, they will fly like they know how to come back, but they dont know what wind is and they could really lose their balance. If they're lucky, they will land in a tree, but sometimes they fly till they are tired and fall or till a predator gets them.

If you dont want one to be sitting alone in a cage then get two

@ALEXANDRA GEORGIANA FARCAS you should call him Georgică

I'm sure if she was mad she would screech

Yes I think

Maybe it means your simply breathtaking and/or your gettin your budgie all hot n bothered n need to turn on the central air! It could be good or bad. Just go with the flow. If you open its cage will it hop out and play with you? Im a first time owner and actually our budgie is a rescue. I almost ran him over downtown with our car. But when i noticed the odd shape that i couldnt tell was trash or a bird i had to hit the brakes and back up just following my gut instinct. Low and behold this budgie is super cold from being outside here in visalia ca over who knows how many days. I told my fiancé that im pretty sure theres a bird in the road. Seeing as how the both of us save any animals we find in bad scenarios like dodging traffic, i am just glad I noticed him or else i might of actually ran him over. If anyone in tulare county happens to be the owner and accidently lost him I understand. Call me: 559-280-1615 Otherwise this ninjas my new best friend!!! Anyone who knows about helping a distressed parakeet feel safe and help to get psychologically better please do tell this poor little guy needs the best after his trauma.

He is probably scared or nervous

They tend to hyperventilate when you're near. You gave 'em a fright.

Run

You can't really do anything, parrots like to chew, that's something that gives them stimulation. All parrots chew on stuff, it's just natural for them.

Lol

My birds too

it doesnt always mean the budgie is sick, id suggest refraining from taking them instantly to the vet and look up for more signs of sickness, this one is not always 100%, you should refrain because budgies can get extremely terrified in the vet, they can even lose trust in you.

LOL 😂

@@dennythebudgie I know right. I would always laugh at them but sadly they had to go ;( We discovered that I am alergic to animals with fur or feathers TmT cuz I had an itchy, running nose and my face turned pink and my eyes where itchy pulse I kept sneezing

Mia ._.equinexox well I don’t really know how you ignore it it hurts!! But if ignore it it’s better because you don’t scare you bird

@@thenickizrobloxchannel3159 Yours may have a longer beak. I heard they can't break skin. Parrots are different story.

I am really trying to make... But I don't have time! 😓Sorry! I will try to make it soon! Just a few tips"

Food. Try to find different foods they really like. My budgies adore swiss chard so I`m using it now to tame them. They weren`t babies when I got them and I had to catch them often even though they were not tamed in order to give them medicine so they became really scared of me. Now, I`m slowly making progress. They are not afraid of me anymore unless I do something new. They eat their food from my hands and I trained one to let me touch it a little bit in order to get swiss chard. Still won`t let me hold them though. Just don`t make any sudden movements and if they get scared and try to escape just stay in that position so that they can see that you didn`t go after them when they calm down.

Poor birdie

Denny the Budgie ye😓

You can help the bird and not get more babies by switching out a new egg w a whole bunch of fake little eggs the same size. It keeps her from laying too many and she won't be physically drained by all the effort.

Carmen Spievak ok thx, she already stopped but thx

@@Bella-xk3gr you're welcome. I had a cockatiel that would lay a lot of eggs, and we would put as many as she'd normally lay so she'd slow down. After the fake eggs were there she might lay one or two, but not 8 like she did. She would take care of them and guard them. Then she'd lose interest so we would remove them until next clutch of eggs started. We found a website that sold the right size eggs for different birds. You might try it in case your Grandpa's bird starts again. Best wishes!!

CaptureFreakz correction: my boy feeds my girl lol and dances infront of her.

@Be An ok thanks I let there cage doors open when I'm around so they can fly

Don't worry, if it's new to him, let him explore without forcing.

@@dennythebudgie Thanks :D

It can take days or longer for a budgie to get used to a new toy. I have even had toys that mine ignored for several months before they would play with it. They have to treat every new object as a potential threat to protect their lives. It works well for them in the wild. It seems silly to us when they are afraid of a toy. But the fear of something unknown helps them survive in the wild. So just give them time and put the new toy in a far corner of the cage until they get used to it. And don't introduce more than 1 toy at a time. If they are scared, don't hang it near their food, water or where they sleep. Otherwise they might avoid eating, drinking or sleeping from fear.

Females are more active but males are very vocal! But they both makes great pet ❤️

@@dennythebudgie Well, the female is more active and more vocal than the male, he does chirp and is active, it's just the female does it both lol

Add more feeders

@@dennythebudgie Yea, one of them feeds off from my hand/separate dish once in awhile to avoid fighting lmao

@Zel put the left feeder on the same side of the right one or if they are in a different color, maybe buy 2more feeder of the same 2colors you already have. I have 4 bowls of food in my the bottom of my cage, 2 to each extremities, they're the same color. They never fight. They're pretty much like two siblings who want the same thing without sharing. Some colors and shape can be more interesting to one budgy at the point the other one will show interest too. But the first one won't want to share. 😅
