I Am new to your channel. I got a budgie, without you he would be on an all seed diet in a tiny cage. Please don't stop making video's people need to know how to properly take care of these wonderful birds. My mom had so many birds as a kid I loved them so much but they all died so quickly. they were on an all seed diet, tiny cage and water was changed like once a month or whenever it evaporated.. I didn't know any better I was just a kid but my mom also did not know. I have my budgie I bought him from petco I was told by someone working in the store to have them on an all seed diet. also to "buy a cage with the budgie picture on it". They were such small cages. I did what he said. I was trying to learn more about birds when I came across your channel. I bought a new cage about as big as you have. new perches for his feet. I started sprouting seeds. got him to eat veggies and pellets.I took him to the vet he has fatty liver disease. I wake up everyday wondering if hes still alive. I fell in love with him so quick. he also took a liking to me. point is without your videos he would be dead so I am so thankful to you.

Wow. Sometimes you don’t realize how much of an impact one person can have on so many others. Yes, please don’t stop making videos Courtney, there are so many people and birds that have benefited from your channel and blog, including me. Without you, my future birb would have all dowel and one rope perch, a seeded diet, no UV, and the same cage setup for their whole life, which would certainly be a short one. I would like to Thank you for all of the helpful information you’ve provided us with with. Thank You!

@NekkoMeneko7 жыл бұрын
AnimalEden I actually would suggest only getting one at first. as they really are birds that like to be by themself. it is easier to train and bond to a bird one at a time also. If you DO get two you must get TWO cages and not keep them together in one. especially if you want them to bond to you. also if you get two for the first month atleast it's even better so they can't see each other (hearing is fine) this also helps for the bonding process to you as if they bond to each other they may only want each other and cam become very aggressive towards you. that or they could kill each other or one of the other. etc.

AnimalEden I am not saying you can't get two you can, just that you should know what getting two takes and what you should do. (of course the breeder wants you two get two that's more money for them lol) also I guess I don't know if you want two for breeding or two for companionship? If your wanting companionship I would definitely keep in mind what I am telling you. and if the breeder is a GOOD breeder they should tell you the same. If they are not I would be wary of them as they are only wanting money. so I hope that's not the case and they give you good information.

Lyndsay Kang I am not quite sure if I want to breed later. Right now I would just get a second one for companionship since I still go to school/university so I am not home all day.

I loved the bird kabobs back when I had my cockatiels! They just started shredding it and had a blast tearing the thing apart! Also absolutely loved the look of manzanita perches, but I always thought they were a little on the pricey side (and I'm not 100% sure how to find and prepare found branches for birds or if you can in the first place) but if it lasts a long time and provides all those benefits then I'd say it's worth it!

Hi, i watch your video's for some time now although we have 2 parkeets and not parrotlets i like the general information/education on how to treat birds and the way you train them. Well we dont have our parkeets for long and well you cant train a parkeet like your birds. Yet our female bird has teached herself a funny trick. We are just starting to let them out of the cage. And after putting our male into the cage the female landed on the cage and was looking how to get into the cage again. So she walks arround on top of the cage and suddenly she started to make head rolls. I really couldnt believe my eyes. Is so funny to see her doing it. She stays a bit on her back rolls on here feet again and well does this for some time. I havent got a good video of it yet. But when i have will give you a notify. Keep your video's comming they are highly appreciated!!

I was extremely worried for my future bird and I thought about a happy hut as a way to keep it warm. Now I am obviously aware of the danger, but I was wondering if you knew of any way my bird could warm himself if he were to get cold. I don't want any small drafts to kill my bird, but I also don't want to die of hyperthermia anytime soon. Thank you!

My life as Amy generally it is. No mirror toys, NO all seed diets, lots of fruits and veggies, different surfaces for your conure to perch on. I recommend watching Tyler ruggee's video. He has a sun conure. I'm sure he has a video explaining proper care for them. I think that conures are a type of parrot (correct me if I'm wrong) and he has a video on myths about owning a pet parrot. Even if conures aren't parrots I think it applies to all birds because he says things about noise levels, diets, things like that. If you're getting a conure I highly recommend you check out Tyler Ruggee's video

Hi there! I’ve just recently found your account after we decided to purchase a bird. I have studied them immensely, but I obviously still have a lot of unanswered questions. But I’ve been meaning to ask you just a few. 1) are fake plants safe for a baby sun conure? They do not have any foam beads or berry like objects, but they do have leaves and flowers and I was concerned about Myrtle trying to eat them. Do you think I should remove or keep them up? 2) what brand cage and food do you recommend the most? 3) do you have to change the position of the toys in your room? I know that you are supposed to change the toys in their cage daily or weekly, but I’m not sure about the ones I’d have around my room. 4) I have some mirrors underneath these box shaped lights I have. I’ve heard mirrors effect birds’ health a lot for some reason. Is this true? Should I cover up the mirrors?
