hi i have a question i have an aviary but i dont know wich type of sand and soil i should use im worried of getting a harmful type of soil or sand or is it all the same?
@misty_blue15 күн бұрын
It’s important that it wasn’t treated with chemicals. You could look for sand especially for birds/pets or otherwise something that is used for children (like sandbox sand) or plants (organic soil). I don’t have much experience with sand myself since I used shells and wood chips. I hope you find what you’re looking for!

@misty_blue16 күн бұрын
Placing them in direct sunlight in a dry place can also help a lot. It naturally kills molds and such. Maybe using a hair dryer on the hottest setting also works? 🤷♀️😋 Or pouring boiling water over them. Surely that also kills unwanted bugs.

My budgies (2 female an 2 male). 3 of them usually loud. 2 of them the loudest (a female and male) scream the most and almost constantly and it seems like they do it for no reason. its been going on for a while and my eardrums are going to explode. When I try to play with them they fly away. they have lots of toys and some new ones. They get enough sleep, and time to play outside the cage and strecth their wings everyday. their screaming has gone really bad and i can't figure it out. I've had them for ablout 1-2 yrs. AND I've reached my limit to paitence and endurance to their screams. I NEED HELP. Any suggestions? I'm really considering selling them bc the screaming is just getting worse and i can't figure out the problem, and I fear becoming deaf and a mentally sick human BUT i still love them. when I leave the room they scream. When I'm next to them they scream. they just scream. They are used to humans and I usually play with them a lot. I've spent a lot of time and money to make them happy. sometimes they stop when i put them back in cage and close the door as timeout.
@misty_blueАй бұрын
I get your frustration. It can be a big problem with budgies 😅 I heard from some people that it can be caused by hormones. When they are too hormonal they scream a lot. Sometimes it’s caused by mirrors. Or by lack of sun or a nutrient deficiency. Giving a fish oil supplement sometimes helps with improving their nutrition. And feeding them some greens weekly. I also saw a trick from one bird owner. It sounds kinda silly but she said she screams back at her birds when they scream and that makes them stop. She said in bird psychology it works like that 🤷♀️ Do your birds also have cork wood? I noticed some of our “screamers” were so busy chewing cork blocks that they had no time to scream 😋 I hope you find a solution! We’ve also had budgies that screamed more than others. The three we have currently are like angels in that sense-they almost never scream.

@misty_blue2 ай бұрын
It depends on the situation and the budgie :) Sometimes they are only hormonal temporarily because it’s the mating season. That can last several weeks to months. Sometimes the hormonal behaviour is caused by the circumstances, like: - A nutrient deficiency - Lack of sunlight - Stress - Being stimulated by a mirror Some ways you can improve it: - Give a more varied diet to make sure they get their nutrients - Give them time in direct sunlight - Remove mirrors that they might have I hope your budgie improves 🤗

Hey please don't feed aloe vera to your budgies or any birds it's toxic please check your information before sending . Everybody also never feed aloe vera it's very bad for birds
@misty_blue2 ай бұрын
Our birds have eaten it in the past and they didn’t have issues. I think it depends on the part of the plant and how much and how often they eat. I found this about it: “Aloe is bird safe the plant is not. Chewing the layer between the leaf and the gel can cause serious intestinal upset. Parrots can’t eat aloe vera leaves due to the latex between the gel and the leaf. The latex section of aloe vera contains aloin. This is a yellow, bitter sap, also known as barbaloin. Aloin is a hydroxyanthracene, which is a natural irritant laxative. Because of this, aloin can cause intestinal irritation. Although the symptoms may be mild, the severity may increase after long-term ingestion. Common symptoms of aloin poisoning include: Abdominal pain Nausea Diarrhea”
@Helpingfauna2 ай бұрын
@misty_blue yes I wanted just to warn you and others about that only that the layer between leaf an d gel can cause intestinal upset and stuff like you can mention to people which parts to eat but personally I don't use it cuz it's risky . A tip: some home remidies you can use and share you can give your birds holy basil ( tulsi) or neem leaves boiled and diluted water( or fresh leaves) it has many things which can save budgies ( once a week only one thing ) and you can similarly give diluted carom ( ajwain seeds) boiled in water it also helps in cold or stuff just remember to keep diluted
@misty_blue2 ай бұрын
Thanks for the warning and all the tips. I really appreciate it :) I do know aloe vera can be quite strong so it’s true that it’s important to be very careful with it. I personally don’t feed it to them either (just twice in the past).

0:35 I thought the perch shuffle meant "too hot" because my room was chilly and I put the fan heater at the covered cage for a while, with my head under to check temperature. After a while he did the perch shuffle until I turned the heat off or down and then he did it again when I turned it back up.
@misty_blue2 ай бұрын
That’s very likely that your budgie was doing that because of the heat :) I think generally it’s just a way to catch the attention of someone. Our budgie was doing it to impress our female budgie 😋 But they have many different reasons for their behaviour.
