5 Things I Would Never do to My Bird ❌️

Hi Buddies,
As a bird owner for almost 15 years now, there are some things that are considered the worst things you can do to your bird.
Our birds cannot talk and explain to us what is right and wrong and what not to do as their owners, and because of that we should be extra thoughtful and respectful towards them.
These are 5 things I would never do to my birds (and you shouldn't either)

My bird died 2 weeks ago, I am so sad about him. But your videos make me feel better, thank you Salvador Budgie!

[@avacados3555]

Hey man I'm sorry for ur loss I have felt that ,don't worry ur bird is in heaven looking over you

[@Slimythread]

I’m so sorry for your loss. Feel better soon

[@jherod2024]

Sorry to hear @unnamed guy. It's something how we can have so much love for such a tiny soul, but it's true. I hope he visits you in your dreams 🤗

[@kellymurray8998]

I’m sorry for your loss, hon. I know how much it hurts to say goodbye. Let yourself grieve and when you’re ready to relive the memories, your birb will be there to make you smile. They’re across the rainbow bridge, where many other budgies will welcome them with open wings, to share thier stories and listen to your birb tell of his beloved human.

[@danih_66]

Sorry for your loss 😢❤❤

[@levitatingeternity918]

You know your birds are so happy when they're excited to jump out of their cage. It means they're comfortable in and out. My birds get their cages opened at 6am and they have the freedom to go in and out of their cage at will. Their cage is their safe space, their personal space, and their bedroom. And that's how I treat it. I offer my hand if they want to come out, but if they nibble on my finger instead of jumping onto it, I know they're not ready to come out yet.

[@maddwinter]

I am planning to get two budgies very soon, and I cant wait! I've watched so many of your videos, they are so helpful.

[@liamlinson7563]

my neighbor gave us this budgie who was so abused he would actively try to escape our house, which he did eventually when my mom let him out of his cage for a bit, little guy saw the open door and instantly flew out, it was during the winter too so i dont think he survived

[@CutesyDaisy]

That’s so sad :( the poor bird must have been so scared when you got him/her even tho you meant no harm. It must’ve been so cold and hungry when it went out. I think it may have been eaten by a preditor

[@liamlinson7563]

That's one beautiful rainbow you've got there! We have one too and he's a talker! He knows about 7 phrases and 20+ words. He bonded with my daughter and she taught him by speaking in a high pitched voice to him. Our birds fly free in the living room and have swings in the picture window overlooking the garden. There are bird feeders there too so they can see and be close to the hummingbirds, finches, and can see our chickens from there too. Their lives are short folks, make it good for them!

Great! I am doing all the right things for my budgies. The only thing now is that I have to restrain my blue budgie only to give him his antibiotic for his yeast build up 😞. I don't like having to do it, but I hope he knows it's so he can get better.

So I got only 2 budgies like a week ago and i got a lot of questions....would u mind answering a few of them pls? 1) Do they Prefer warm or cold temp? 2)They Dont eat Any fruits 3)is purified water safe for them? 4) do 2 of them will feel alone? 5)why are they still afraid of me? 6)I always keep the cage opened but they dont get out? 7)Why do they just sits their?

[@roachmorphine8018]

Thank you for the bird info as always, Kermit :)

[@piotrbraszak3394]

2. Never breed them. How do you handle hormonal stages of your birds? I have 4 budgies, 2 male and 2 female. They formed nice bonds over the last months and I can certainly see they want to breed because they are constantly looking for a place to nest: they climb up my sleeve, they walk into rolled up towels, they court every day and one of the male even tries to straight up mate with its female. I'm afraid I may not be able to avoid them breeding, so what's the solution here?

[@zneaznippy6044]

do not give them birdnest

[@JohnnyX50]

If they have nowhere to nest then they shouldn't go through the process. Not always a guarantee. I only have one budgie, nearly 2 years now and he loves to 'court' my gold ring on my right hand. It's funny as that is my mouse moving hand so while I am watching youtube vids and moving my mouse he is bobbing around casually on the back of my hand. I just let him get on with it until he's had enough. Silly bird LOL

I’m the opposite of #1 my bird gets the whole house to fly around in. All though I can say I am guilty of #3😅 but the water should be clean because we live in Canada near the mountains.or at least I think it’s clean

[@yoboyomega3509]

he is right I also have new budgies please tell me too

[@fumikokoyaa3315]

I've always given my birds tap water and I don't see anything wrong with it. I and out dogs drink it too and it's generally safe where I live. The only difference is that it makes me feel more thirsty, but I don't see why would it be harmful, when my birds, dogs and I are completely fine drinking it.

[@Bird-Nuggets]

You should check the local regulations for your tap water and whether it's suitable for drinking, a lot of Western tap waters aren't safe.

[@BivonDoesStuff]

what I felt guilty is spraying my lovebirds water to give them a mist bath which makes them feel scared. and also I'm worried to let my birds outta their cage which lets me think they will fly to the wild which Im not used to it. Im also still taming my bird and I dunno if they won't come to me to let them inside their cage.

[@SoulessStranger]

Honestly people who actively free domesticated birds should be forced re-educated until they get it through their thick skulls what horrible things they are doing to those poor souls. Better yet, don't give them any food, water or heat while they are educated about their wrong doings. And it is not just birds. People do the same thing with rodents like rats or hamsters. A brief moment of freedom followed by terrible fear, painful but at least quick death from a predator or days of slowly starving and being thirsty before they succumb to their death. What terrible fate these poor animals must suffer for certain people not having even two brain cells together. Anyways, that is my rant done. Great video. I actually use the on tap water purifier for the water for myself and my boys, even though in Denmark the water is very safe from the tap, I just don't want to risk it because it is tested for humans, not birds.

[@Noob-ye3hs]

i just dont understand something about point number 2, in another video you said your birds should stay in their cage until they trust you, does that not count anymore?

[@JohnnyX50]

I am sorry for the loss of your beloved pet, I know how heart-breaking it can be. When we lost our budgie of 18 years, yes, 18! We were so grief stricken (and please don't think me weird) I wrapped him in some red velvet material from my mums old, but favourite curtains, gently placed him in a small thermos with a spray of millet and sealed it shut. It remains to this day in my possession some 15 years after the event. Un-opened, still airtight and seldom moved from storage where I tell people, "Don't move the Thermos!" It is a bit creepy to think he is still in there and probably in a mummified state but he was so loved and like a member of the family to us.

@@JohnnyX50 I wish both your and my budgies were alive right now I have my budgies cage near my bed every morning I still think he is in that cage and I should feed him its so sad to hear about your budgies death

I agree with all but I am getting prepared incase if my budgies decided to have babies. It is not in my place to tell them no to that. That's why I am slowly gathering necessary items to help them if need be. They are right now at the most healthiest, fastest and strongest as young adults. Right now they are not ready for a bigger family so they make sure not to make babies. They mated throughout February and did not lay any eggs so I had them checked with a vet, incase. I'm not worried about them because if they show signs that something is wrong or let me know that something is wrong I can call my avian vet about it.

[@Saleca]

Bunch of hot takes here. I appreciate the concern for the birds, but some statements here are very disappointing. For once why only germany has good water? Lots of countries have safe tap water, if you want to give mineral water that's great but don't say tap water has bacteria everywhere. And then there are the "never" such strong words. Did you know that parrots in parts of spain and portugal became "wild" after being released or fled some homes? They now live in large flocks like pigeons (most notably in barcelona). And I am not advocating releasing domesticated birds, just countering your narrow argument. I have a parrot and I fear for him if he would flee, he wouldn't make it in my area that freezes at night and has birds of prey. He is always free, but doesn't have an open sky to train flight because never lets me touch him, but sometimes I need to grab him, for transport, vet, etc. Although I believe he would love to fly higher and freely. So releasing your bird ain't the most agonizing thing you could do. Could be in some places, for some birds but that ain't certainly a rule for all
