Tips on how to get your bird back in its cage 

Thank you for watching my videos and becoming a subscriber, it means a lot to me. Here are some links for the bird wooden ladders 36" Wood Bird Ladder amzn.to/2XimGP4 24" Wood Bird Ladder amzn.to/2DWoTqc

Congrats on this milestone. Different methods work for different tameness of birds. My Mango goes back to his cage on command by himself which he has been doing for years. For Blueberry by hand and 99% he doesn’t object. For Rainbow, I bring his cage close to the other two cages since his cage’s position is about 6/7 feet away from the other two cages and bring him back on my finger with his favorite toy. Routine is the key. When it’s close to bedtime, just like for kids, give them time to settle down by turning off the music, radio, tv , dimming the lights, sending other humans in the household to other areas of the house or telling them to lower their voices and devices so I start the bedtime routine process with the birds and bedtime is never a problem here. If anything, they go back into the cages to relax for the night before time as they are tired from their daytime activities.

YES!!! I am so happy for you!! You shouldn't be shocked. Your channel is amazing! CONGRATULATIONS!!💚💚💚

Congratulations! You are a wonderful soul, so kind and generous and loving! Very nice to share your energy. You can see it reflected in your pets' happiness! No wonder you have 50k.

Mostly here for the birbs! But... all anumullss are darlin' and appreciated.

My two budgies go in at night time on their own. My IRN I cover half his cage, cover half of other half, and he climbs in to his night night perch. lol

I came because of the bird videos. Aside from 6 cockatiels that I currently own my family also has a small dog and we also used to have some goldfish

R.I.P Rio.. We all loved her.. Fly high Rio!! We love you 💕

Hi Donna, wonderful videos. I live in Northwest Ohio and our winters are similar to yours .When I see what is obviously an escaped pet bird at my feeders, I'll set a cage outside with millet and if the bird goes into the cage, I will bring it into the house and begin finding the owners. So far, the outcome has been positive for two birds that would not have survived a winter here; a budgie and an african grey. They are both back with their owners. I love birds, especially my cockatiels who go to their cages when they want to sleep (usually on the outside of the cages with newspaper underneath) The doors have not been closed in twelve years, except for vet trips, they are never locked in a cage.

When it gets dark, my bird sets on the computer screen and goes to sleep. She goes in the cage to eat, but if I approach, she flies out quickly. Any thoughts?

Great tips, I have a naughty parrot. She loves me and I love her but she is very independent and has her own mind. I have never had a bird with the personality difficulties she has.

I love your bird videos thats how I found your channel more videos on budgies and how to tame older budgies i have 4

Congrats! I also watch Birds Trick. My birds are free cage and they go home for naps, food and sleep for the night.

Congrats on 50k!! Well deserved! ❤️

Love your birds.

I would love to see more bird videos❤️ I love your channel and your bird are really cute!!! Tell Rio I say hello😊

Bird videos please more of cockatiels because I’m getting my first cockatiel in March so I need all the facts that I can get 🦜

I like your parrot videos most. Currently I have 2 pairs of Linnies, one pair actively produces babies which are very much in demand where I live. I also have 2 Eastern Rosellas. A small aquarium with male guppies and a dwarf gourami. Also there's my longtime companion, my blue point Himalayian cat. The later was actually owned by my good friend of Sheilands cattery but when he passed his cat was left to me. Anyway I do enjoy your videos and Facebook page. As I mentioned I especially like info on parrots. Thank you and keep up your great work.

I put my iPad in the cage with a RU-vid channel playing ... a parakeet Video She went back in to hear and be with the other birds ... lol just bought a ladder today . Love your channel ... 🐥 🦉🐥🐦 🐥 lol I saw your phone at the end ...works great !

Aww Rio bless her, she really tries to do her best to court you. ❤️ Congrads on the 50k!

Enhorabuena muchas felicidades por el vídeo desde gran canarias España.

So Happy for You!!!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

I always followed method number 2 , I used the dowel perch that came with the cage and just use it as a perch to get them from point A to their cage. I think now that I have a bit more knowledge I think I’m going to use Miller spray and in conjunction with a perch to lure them in.

I have 14 parrots, 5 guinea pigs, 2 dogs, 2 hamsters, and 2 rabbits. Most of my birds are cage free. Wish they were as tame as yours are but unfortunately most of mine came from homes that didn't interact with them positively.

Luckily my birb (she is a Kakariki) puts herself to sleep on a regular schedule... although she doesn't sleep in her cage... she sleeps on the shoulder of my shirts that hang beside the head of my bed... so I can hear her little sleepy noises and smol squeaks when she wants me to wake up! ;D

Thank you so much, I literally was trying to use a fishing net today to catch my love birds. That didn't work 😂 they are smart birds, I'll try this method next.

You do a wonderful job. I can’t imagine why someone would leave hateful comments. I love the bird videos the best

Love your birds

And yes, BirdTricks is a cool channel, I have been watching them for 6 years now. Well I can't wait for you to reach 60k soon, good luck, and I also can't wait for a new video! Have a good day!

Hi Donna, congrats on your 50,000 subscribers and iam sooo proud to be one of them now. I thoroughly enjoy all your videos .I do get a little tearie eyed when I see your precious little Rio and how you and Rio were sooo devoted to each other and I like to think how she has l probably crossed over the RAINNOW BRIDGE and has possibly met my little Ollie girl..You are such a beautiful care giver.Your birdies and other pets are soo lucky to have you.Always enjoy watching and listening to you and learning it’s a real enjoyable experience for me.

Congratulations. Your videos are awesome. I love your birds.

I love ALL your videos!! Congrats on your 50K subscribers!!

Birds!! 😍 Congratulations on 50k !!

Thank u so much for making this video!!! It's extremely helpful as I have two Indian ringnecks and one of them is really easy to get back in but the other one isn't. I'm going to buy a clicker and some sort of wooden stick so I can try target training❤

mine know when I say bedtime, they go in, but sometimes they don't so I turn off the lights and put a treat in the cage, usu. an almond in the shell.

Congratulations. Well done and you deserve many more. Your channel is awesome keep up the great work. I'm happy that I'm 1 out of the 50K subscribers, I definitely recommend this channel. Much respect.

Congrats! You give great advice and are always willing to help.

Enjoy your videos, especially your birds and dogs. I have parrots and dogs too.

Yaya

Yay a new vid!❤️

Great advices? Thanks a lot!

Congratulations on your subscribers keep the hard work up your idea works I done the same thing and ordered the ladder and it works

i hang on your every word in your bird videos. You have helped me lots - have watched some of them at least 4 times for different references :)

Love this vlog thanks for information 😊 it's going help!

I study and research animals and I am giving parakets bee pollen from my bee farm.

Im so thankful for this video. I have problems, to get my male cockatiel back in his cage. I’ll hope your tips will help me and especially him 😂🦜

I enjoy your bird videos. I am educating myself about birds because someday, I would like to get a budgie. I think they are adorable (I fell in love with little Disco on RU-vid) and hope to get one that will talk. But if not I will still love it. We had a large green parrot that talked when I was very small. Then later a cocktail named Petey. Thanks for all the info!👍😁💕

I feel spoiled, I have never had this issue with my parrots lol 100% agree on routine. My birds know when it is 8pm, which = bedtime. Parrot on a proper diet of pellets and veggies makes treat value explode. Good way to train a parrot. Mine will do just about anything for a single millet seed now lol

CONGRATULATIONS! I'm interested in all of your pets. Can u pls make more videos of your hamster? It is so cute! Same with your birds dogs fish rabbits ☺

Just subscribed love your channel thank you for sharing your expertise..

Strangely enough getting pet birds to cooperate is very similar to getting pet cats to cooperate. Up to and including continuing the positive stuff once they're in place so they don't figure out that they got herded.

i love your channel so much so educational😊

I love your bird videos!

Thank u so much for making this video

I also love birdtricks! Very good and simplified training advice! Also subscribed to your channel though, so I can access a variety of different advice! Thank you for your help

Congrats! I like your birds. I need to check out you bunny videos. I have 2 that freerange my home. I never clean up a mess. They potty trained themselves!

my bird is untamed but doesn’t wanna go in her cage she tries to come out every time I open the door and take my hand in she can step up inside but not outside the cage please help

Thanks you for the suggestions my budgies are not finger tamed and it is a hassle getting them back into the cage.

Do a video on your tamed and untamed birds would love to see that

Congrats....love you and your bird videos. Thanks so much for your info on blood feathers and many others🤣 Hope to see many more.

Congrats on your subscriber goal! 😜✊🏾❤️ We’re just about to hit 200, so trying to think of something fun to do for fans. 🤔

Could you please do a video on Cockatiel and their nightfrights. Like what you do to calm them down, prevent night frights, how you make them comfortable in their space.

congrats on 50k, could you do one on budgie moulting , and signs of if there some thing wrong, with moulting please :)

Congrats on all those subscribers! That's sooo awesome!! I would love to see a video on taming a parakeet. My lil guy who I have for about a month now is about 4 months old, maybe 5, and he's sooo afraid of me putting my hand in to let him out. Since I really don't have a safe place like your bird room to let him out, I want to tame him so he'll stick with me like my cockatiel does. That way he gets to enjoy life outside his cage and I would eventually love for him to be able to hang out with my 'tiel. He is getting used to my voice when I close him up at night & whenever I pop over to talk to him, but hands terrify him & cleaning him out always makes me feel bad as I hate scaring him. Thanks!

I point with my finger at the door cage and ask them to go inside and make sure you have a series tone . It works for me sometimes

Can u do a how to get a bird to behave outside the cage please I just subscribed for your content you are amazing keep up the great work

Congratulations to you ❤️ I love the bird videos 😍 I have 2 birds a conure and cockatiel and enjoy watching yours very much ☺️

Oh my gosh, did the iPad in the cage and it worked!

I'm here for the birds :) ,but do you. Waiting for info on how Jingles is adapting. Thx for the vids :D

Do you have any conures? Because I might be getting one and I need some help and advice

Congrats 50k

I am getting a bird tomorrow

Great video as always 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 do you ever have problems with the wrong birds going in the wrong cage? 👍🏻

hello I love your videos I just got a canary and I am wondering at bedtime is it important to cover the cage

Hello mam,your pets are too cute and your smile is so sweet,love from India🇮🇳

50K subscribed, congratulations!. But not surprising to me, you produce great videos. Please, please, please, keep producing the videos. I am mostly interested in your bird videos (I have 4 budgies) but also enjoy seeing all of your pets. I occasionally go back to the "breakfast" video; I really enjoy seeing all your pets getting their morning breakfast, they are all so happy. You provide many good tips about getting birds back into the cage. I have had no luck with this for the almost 1 year since I got my birds. They freak out even when I go near them; they calm down when I put food in the cage. I would resort to using a large hoop fishing net (similar to what people use to catch butterflies) but after a few times came to realize the potential risk for injury to the bird - head, neck, wing, etc., so I stopped letting them out. I think my patience in working it out is also a factor. Question?.... is there a best time of the day to let the birds out?; let's say I only want them out for about an hour. They can sense when it is morning; they start chirping even while the cage is still covered up. Should I try letting them out first thing in the morning, then clean the cage bottom, fill food bowls, provide clean fresh water, then in an hour I would hope they would be hungry enough to go back in the cage. I would appreciate your thoughts/comments on this. Give a "thank you" (from me) to Rio for being such a nice participant in this video. I have seen her in a number of your videos and it's always a pleasure to see her.

Bought my budgies yesterday and they was scared open the cage today and they where having fun flying around and used to us now, got them back in by putting my hand in front of them and pushing it forward towards the cage door is this a good way

I’ve only had my bird for 5 days and I’ve just seen this video. I have just put a plastic square bowl for my buggie.

Rio is such a cutie 💙
