This was a fair few years ago now! I've since become more aware of better and safer toys for birds, as well as what to feed them. This video is intended as my own honest experience owning a bird for the first time, and hopefully it helps inform people before getting a bird about how much care goes into having one 😊 Also, I've never clipped any of my birds wings, they were already clipped by the seller.

@@cosybirb I hope no one will even buy clipped birds again. And I can see in your video that your intentions are okay.

They really do love getting all the attention, Geralt always does soft little pecks at my cheek to let me know that she requires scritches haha

I actually managed to get her off a seed diet for a year because I had heard it wasn't a healthy diet, but it ended up doing more harm than good. At first she was fine but after a while she started losing weight and had gotten sick again. My avian vet recommended a mix of budgie seeds and pellets for both my cockatiel and lovebird, along with vegetables of course (sunflower seeds are kept for treats only). She has been doing much better now and has been much happier too. A seed diet isn't bad as long as you're giving your bird the right kind of seed mix, and they get a lot of daily exercise flying around the house too.

That's great to hear that they are doing well (and sorry to hear one of them had an eye problem too). And they would be very happy with all that space to hang out in. I have a friend who breeds Green Cheek Conures and I got to handle them as babies! Hand raising birds definitely looks like a very demanding but rewarding thing to do and I hope it goes well for you!

Thank you! Getting Geralt was the best thing I ever did, she melts my heart every day.

Yeah it was a bit stressful to go through while learning how to care for a bird. After having birds for 3 years now (I later got a lovebird) I've learnt that they are definitely a handful but I love them to bits.

looks like a standard prevue hendrix one. just dolled up a bit with that twine. most pets stores will have this

Hi! I bought it from my local bird store, and most bird and pet stores I've been to have stocked them! As Terence said, I have added a few extras to it myself like the twine to help my birds land and climb on it easier.

So happy I could help! Having a bird is a constant learning experience, but they are so worth it. Cockatiels are the absolute sweetest birds too!

Hey! I gave most of the peripherals away on stream for a giveaway, but my partner has been using the keyboard and has been loving it!

@@cosybirb sweet cheers I got the Firehawk keyboard. It's cool. It'll be interesting to see how well the tower runs but they look ok for the price. GG

Hey @Dale Lillis have you had any problems with your pc I have and I have had to send it back to them multiple times for repairs

@@the-truth554 hey no it's running great so far. NBN is more of an issue lol. Sorry to hear that are they fixing it at their cost?

Yea they paid for all the shipping and all the costs to repair it but the first they fixed it it was still broken the second time hopefully it will work but thank you
