5 UNFORGIVABLE Mistakes you DO to your Budgie or Parrot

[@davescheer5038]

Don't give them chocolate , avocado ,onions garlic look up to find a safer and healthy diet , vary their diet every week so they don't get bored , make sure they have fresh water the bigger the cage the better, birds are meant to fly and get exercise ,and budgies are better in a group as this is how they live in the wild, if you do get a large cage throw in some grasses ( make sure they are clean and no fertilizers or pesticides ) the love to eat ,chew and make nests with it , spend time with them , and don't rush things let the bird come to you and gain your trust .

[@neonlights3977]

Okay well first off never provide the bird with ANY nesting material unless you are breeding avoid mirrors at all cost .. Grapes bread noodles and dairy is a must for being avoided iceburg lettuce !! HOOKBILLS AVOID SAND PAPER / GRAVEL it will kill your bird and harm the feet DO NOT give the birds supplements unless told to by avian vet

They don't go insane. I had a lone budgie for 8 years and she was the happiest little bird. I became her flock and she preened my hair as if it were my feathers.

[@Sweeney333Z]

When I got my 2 first budgies, the pet store sold me a small cage with plastic perches and sand paper to cover the perches for their nails. And told me to give them seed for food. I know better now. They have a flight cage and a variety of perches (different size and textures). I also give them veggies everyday. Also I've notice the "let me out dance". When they move left to right etc. I use to think it was cute but I now realize it means they're unhappy and want out.

[@BudgieWorld]

Even when they won't go back in their cage (they're not hand trained quite yet), I use a perch to get them to sit on it and take them to their cage. My girl gets kinda mean and doesn't want to enter her cage sometimes, so I end up having to guide her with the perch behind her. Shes not afraid, just a brat lmao

[@FormerGovernmentHuman]

I’ve never yelled at my bird directly. However he doesn’t seem to give a shit when I yell at the game or yell for the dog. He just tilts his head at me and goes back to preening.

[@budgiemom8345]

Yes my budgie has a very large cage but that really doesn't matter as she is not in it all day long. She has the run of the house and interacts with us daily. But you must realize that you also need to read your birds language as well as they learning yours. If your bird is feeling safe and secure in their world then you will have no problems. However listen to your bird, they can and will tell you if there is a problem. Mine told me through squaking that I forgot to give them their treat seed after supper one night. Boy did I get told off...she flew to my foot and squaked..then flew to the dining room..then back to me in the bedroom, then to the dining room, then back to me. I finally figured out that she was trying to tell me something. Yep..when I followed her the last time she landed on the diningroom table beside the water I leave out for her. She gave me a look that said "what is missing here?" well the treat seed was missing..I forgot to put it out. Got it and put it on the table and she happily started eating it. Hmmm...these birds are so much smarter than anyone gives them credit for. She is taming me, not the other way around...lol

They remember if they survive.. Everyone needs to know this. My old budgie Happy flew to me at 17 yrs old and didnt want to leave;little did i know that he was about to die.. out of old age and he was happy as his name, i just didnt know he wanted to die at peace and in my hands.

@Aali & Rose I put stickers on my windows so they don't fly into them. Keep the toilet lid down. Be very patient. I first let my birds feel comfortable in their surroundings because I let them out for the first time. Make sure you don't have plants that are poisonous to birds. To get them use to your hands I would put my hand in the cage a couple times a day and not go to them. And when they start getting comfortable with that I put millet in my hand. The bird will come and eat out of your hand when comfortable. This is something I do first before letting them out of cage. After you let them out perch train you bird. By gently putting a perch up to their breast and say up. Repeat until they know. For me patience was I big key to getting your bird to trust you. I know this is long. Good luck and enjoy your new bird. Find an avian vet. Bring your after comfortable for first check up. Very important in case your bird ever gets sick.🙂

[@theoneunslept2093]

Number 2 applies to any bird to be honest. The biggest mistake I see young bird owners make is that they try to tame their bird by chasing them with their hand inside their cage. It's doing the exact opposite of taming, but because the bird gets tired and sits on their finger for a moment, they think it works.

[@renskedj]

I read that you had to do that, but I had no patience for it, so I just let him fly around and I put a movie from him on my phone and put a plant next to me on the couch. He just came towards me, sat on my head and on a stick I was holding, tasted my finger and picked my phone. He's phone tame now.

[@theoneunslept2093]

Renske de jonge this is honestly a wonderful way to tame your bird. I didn't tame my birds much before I let them out of the cage, I pretty much let them out the first day I got them because they have to get their daily exercise whether they're tame or not. Good job with your bird, he seems to really appreciate your presence, and I'm sure he'll learn to love you soon too. 😊

And the mistake was letting them out together in too big a room. the dominant in sheer panic bit off the others tale feathers. so the poor thing was forced to be my pal. but it caused jealousies. i was a boy. had we had utube then i would have done things very differently. much Thanks to You. so. i would say start one at a time in a small room.

[@SledgePainterArt]

My budgie from many years ago was "in love" with a fake toy parakeet I had attached to a perch. He would peck and smack it, kiss it and cuddle with it, even sit on top of it and chill there as if it was a perch; but he also broke the plastic and made sharp edges since he beat on it and chewed it so much...so I bought a different one. Unfortunately the store didn't have the same one and this was back before the internet days where I could find an exact replacement. He had a green one and the one I bought was blue and a little larger. He hated it, didn't interact with it, and refused to be around it. He actively avoided it and I felt so terrible that I filed down the broken plastic of the old one and removed the new one. I tried to make the old toy as safe as possible and put it back where he always liked it...but his heart was broken. Even though it was the same toy, he no longer interacted with it and I feel this led to depression. He was never truly the same. I feel this is also what can happen with mirrors so be warned.

Is there a protective cover for your hand, to hold it and the bite will not hurt?

[@lynnlevin5999]

I'd read many years ago in bird magazine that said if you get more than 1 budgie, they'll only bond with that bird and not you. I had a lone cockatiel years ago and didn't know the gender until one day I saw her fluffed up at the bottom of the cage. Thinking she was sick, I picked her up and lo and behold a little, unfertilized egg. I was shocked.An egg every other day for about a week. I felt sorry for her and made sure she would not become egg bound. If so I probably would have had to rush her to vet for "c section" or something. She was very affectionate. I used to pet her and let her fly around freely whenever I was home.I saved them until there were too many. I cracked one open one day and it looked exactly like a tiny breakfast egg. Of course I didn't cook them, it would have been like cannibalism; she was my baby and I loved her as much an anyone loves their 4 legged friends. Now I have a lone male budgie that's in love with my naked big toe. He humps it into a frenzy than attracts my face when he's done. I put a pillow over my face for protection. If I put my sock on; he gets angry and tries to bite me. He's about a year old, follows me around with a waddling walk on the floor instead of flying. It's a riot. He wants the naked toe only. I have to be careful not to step on him. Although budgies and cocktail's are similar, they have distinct personalities; great pets.

Hi, I have 2 baby budgies and their wings are clipped, we just got them a week ago and both of them are stepping up on my fingers and are fairly tame. They are eating from my hand and i’m introducing them to toys slowly. How should I let them out of the cage to explore the house and roam without scaring them or harming them? We’ve brought them out once but i’m afraid that when i’m attempting to bring them back in that i am not doing it correctly because they get scared of me when i try to pick them back up. Their wings are clipped so they cannot fly fully.

i dont have a budgie but i have been doing research on them but dont get ur bird rope toys because the small fibers can clog up the bird’s digestive track and can be very expensive and difficult to remove. and do your research before buying bells because some contain lead (and i think it was zinc but i cant remember) which is toxic to the birds.

[@kwanoodle2907]

Before I go get my parakeet is windex ok if the bird will be upstairs or no?

[@juliegriffin8538]

Thanks for your tips. We like to let our budgies out for 1-2 hours a day. We have a tall playground on top of their huge cage but they still like to sit on the top of the window molding of our old farmhouse and chew up the paint and wallpaper. I try not to yell at them but I worry the paint might be toxic. I do not know the best way to get them to stay up on their cage. Of course they get to fly around and land back on the cage. I just worry about them eating paint chips. I add more and more toys and tree limbs to the top. Also swings, ladders, bells. But they still want to eat paint and wallpaper even though we give them millet, oatsprays, seed sticks, sprouts, and offer them fruit. Do you have any suggestions. I love them. Thank you. Your videos are great.

This may sound weird but I watched an episode of “My Cat from Hell”. The problem was the cat was destroying the sofa and such by scratching. Before they had their cat declawed (which is a vile practice) they thought they would try a cat trainer. What he did worked perfectly & the scratching was stopped permanently. So what he did was use super wide clear packing tape, rolled up ‘inside out’ ...you know, how you have the sticky side out & the ends taped together. OR if you can find double sticky tape, but it needs to be wide... apply the tape, sticky side out, over and along all the surfaces you don’t want your Budgie’s to be on. After they land on it (either just a few times or several) they will learn it’s not comfortable to land there. After it stops landing there, remove the clear tape and they still should not land on those places. Now, I’ve never done this with any bird and I don’t know if it would work, but I bet it would! Worth a try. BUT, I’d watch closely for the first landing on the tape to make sure it’s not too sticky.... we sure don’t want to catch our birds ‘fly paper’ style, or hurt in any way. Hope this might help... see if other Budgie owners would approve.

here a huge mistake that just personally annoyed me when a family member said it to me. "there no point in taking the budgies to a vet since their life span is very short anyway" a well taken care of budgie can live up to anywhere from 4-5 years to even 15 years if u take really good care of it along with it not having any illnesses they where born with

[@Rambol_XP]

the story behind it if anyone interested, i noticed my 3 budgies have a crusty beak unlike almost all the budgies i could find on yt, so dug into it & long story short. discovered its a mite problem & the nearest avian vet is in another city. so i just told my grandma i was planning to take my budgies to a vet with my dad, & she basically mentioned that its pointless due to their short life span. & thats basically it, regardless of type of pet it is a hamster goldfish or something long living like a dog, if u notice it have any illness u should still take it to the vet, even if their average life span is a year, & is nothing for u. for the animal this year period is everything & letting it slowly die of an illness is just cruel :v

[@annasaussieanimals4678]

Good list. I would add the fact that bird respiratory systems are fragile. Smoke of any kind, any sprays or air freshener, deodorant, incense, candles and non stick cookware can all be lethal to your bird. If you have your birds inside you need to research heavily, everything you use to clean or freshen yourself or your home. And don't clean a bird cage with anything other than vinegar and water or f10 or possibly a very mild, grey water safe dish liquid in water before rinsing very well.

[@alexkingofcookies2908]

My budgie got into my lovebirds blackmask yellow chest cage and ahe was on their favorite toy

[@bunny7842]

My grandson was traumatized when his parakeet found a mouse trap behind the refrigerator. Fortunately, they were able to get the trap off of his little friend in time. There was a lady who told a story about how she accidentally sucked up her bird in the vacuum cleaner when she was cleaning the cage. She said the bird never talked after that. I would suggest never using an open nozzle on your vacuum.

[@randomvideos006]

I have one alone bugie (female) she does not eat anything expect milet. She always try to run back to the cage well, I don't force her now but she just freezes in the corner of cage and stare at me or at window. It's been almost a month that have her, i found her in the back of our house and yeah she is not able to fly as well

[@UniversityofBirds]

Lovely video. I have budgies and aseel chickens. I have installed solar panels for them.

[@shoog9230]

I do sometimes shout when both of my budgies do begin fighting with each other and try to hurt one another, it mustily works, is that as well bad for them, or may teach them something else? I don't want them to get used biting me whichever I try to put my finger in front of them so I don't normally try to separate them, is there any other method I could try so I can separate those little things and forbid them from fighting?

[@suddenlyhope]

I got a hepa filter for air purification in my house. I got a brand new filter and turned it on. Little did I know it was treated with chemicals that blew toxins into the air. I saw my Budgie on the bottom of his cage swaying. I did not know what was wrong and by the time I had figured it out he had gone into seizures. He didn’t make it and I have not been able to bring myself to get another budgie. It’s been about 6 years. It was heartbreaking.

[@BudgieWorld]

I am sorry to hear that :( but we learn from our mistakes and move on

[@rasitajacunskiene1274]

Looks like Ive lost my budgies trust forever cause I forced them to get out the cage, force them to eat veggies and fruits (They only eat seeds if I try any good fruit or veg for budgies, they still wont eat it) and forced them to step on my finger (Ive had them for 5 months I think and they still wont go on my finger) Ive made a mistake now, is there anyway to get them to trust me again?

[@davescheer5038]

A lot of people get birds ,and especially small ones because they are cheaper to by and take care of, the problem is that people buy them on impulse and don't due research on the care and feeding and yes training , I've had birds along time and the one thing I learned is be patient don't try to rush things as you need to gain their trust, you have to spend time with them sit near the cage talk to them ,slowly put your hand in the cage try not to scare them leave your hand in there start with 15 min, everyday till you see that there not being as scared,as they gain your trust you can move your hand closer to them or a single bird offer your finger close to its chest and see if you can get him or her to step up when you try this use the command step up so they know what your expecting from them ,if you accomplish this and get them to step up its your first break threw, you can offer them some seed in an open hand, hope this helps, good luck with your new friends .🤗

[@rasitajacunskiene1274]

Thank you! I will try that! Hopefully Chilli and Pepper will be able to step up on my finger and eat from my hand! Chilli is quite stubborn so he might be a real challenge! Thank you for the advise! 👍🤗

[@FormerGovernmentHuman]

My birds cage is smallish but he only sleeps/eats in it, I put him up when I go to sleep and letting him out is the very first thing I do when I wake up. Is this acceptable?

[@akithemacaw8212]

Yes. As long as it's safe, and it's pretty much only for sleeping and food, a small cage is okay if it's all you can afford or have space for. Of course, a large cage is still preferable, but based on your schedule, it should be okay

[@m3lsavage]

same here. mine isn't small but not big for my tiel either. but he only sleeps in it or plays with toys every now and then and i leave the cage open until sleepy time. he chills in the rooms with us amd has his own wooden playground with water and food

[@gabrie11a.amandaa]

I have a tall cage that’s not that wide compared to yours and it has 2 toys they never play with 2 food bowls 1 water bowl and 2 treat pegs

[@moose_and_squirrel1006]

I've dealt with very very picky budgies who have only eaten seeds for years of their life and I've got a mix that gets them used to a varied diet. Firstly introduce egg food (it's yellow powdery and used in some treat sticks) and mix it in with seeds. i find harrisons bird pellets the smallest ones added in also trick them because they're so small and shaped/coloured like seeds so they eat them as they're eating seeds. One veg I've yet to have a bird dislike is spinach. Especially my baby budgies get so excited about spinach you'd think it was millet being put in. From there you can easily add in other greens

[@hasinananji1724]

My budgies love strawberry 🍓

[@TheFluffyTheropod]

So cute, but make sure they don’t have it too often. It has lots of sugar and should only be a treat.

[@deedrole5296]

I just found your channel. I really enjoy it. I have new budgies and trying to learn everything that I need to know. I have 3 young budgies...5 months and under. Is it necessary to have an even number of birds?

[@annalisa14]

Dee Drole - we bird persons HIGHLY recommend that you ALSO READ books and magazines about budgies. It will affect the eventual joy of having them fly to your hand on command !!! Truly.

[@crecent3145]

Yes it is important to have them in the equal number because if one of them gets left out, they will die from loneliness. I have 10 budgies and they are in pairs. All of them get along. So I will suggest you to get them in pairs and equal number. I hope it helps 😊

[@BudgieWorld]

The less budgies you have the more important it is to have them in even number, I usually say the absolute minimum number of budgies that requires an even number is 6, which means 7 and above is fine, because the more budgies you have the less important it is to have them in even number. however this number fluctuates and it is not precise. you could have a very happy 5 budgies with no problems, or 9 budgies and still one of them is left out. so if you are having an even number it important to keep a close eye and see if someone is being left out.

[@mariehodosi3148]

I am a new budgie parent. I adopted one from a friend of mine. I feel that the cage is too small so I bought a larger cage and he looked great in it.. The problem is that he wasn't going to his food bowl to eat or drink. He's a nervous bird and really not socialized., he wouldn't eat out of my hand. What do I do to get him moved to a bigger cage and he wouldn't starve himself. Also I would like to get a buddy for him. Do you think that's a good idea? Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@BudgieWorld]

don't worry, if he's not ill he wouldn't starve himself to death. it might be that he's just still accommodating, it takes time in 2 days you will see a totally different bird happy and chirping in his new awesome big home. I have a video about 1 or 2 budgies => kzbin.info/www/bejne/opvIe6WZmZyKm7s

[@aimejones8434]

I hope you will see this and respond with advice. I bought a budgie one week ago and bought a second one a few days later. BUT it never occurred to me to look on KZbin for advise!! We have done everything wrong!!! My husband has reached in cage twice a day to catch it and has held it for several minutes stroking and talking to it softy. They have not responded well!!! It occurred to me that we might be stressing them more than taming them! My granddaughter told me to look on KZbin. Also I had them in a quieter place in the house so have moved them to the sitting room where they will see the activity of myself and husband and have TV. Though I have played bird music for them daily since I have had them. Do you think I have caused too much stress to ever be able to tame them now? Please advise. THANK YOU!!!!

[@marinmitev497]

Don't give them onion,chocolate,coffee, avacado,raspberrys,and only give your bird VERY small quantities of parsley. Let him/her have a big cage and clean it everyday,clean and refgill its water everyday and change there food once in two days, and remember that taming them doesn't come quickly it takes months just so they don't fgly around you. I have two budgies and they are my best friends. Hope you have a nice day and thank you for reading my comment even if you haven't have a nice day

[@andrewmartinez4368]

question, how are your budgies so active, and cheerful? Ever since I got my budgies, they have only been sitting on one spot in the cage. I have had them for about two months now, and they still are not as cheerful as you're budgies :(

Probably getting acclimated to the new environment or they could be sick.

[@akio7162]

I usually get cages for for big parrots like macaws for my budgies

[@snuffoutrouge5109]

on the video you showed budgies eating italian parsley. I am cautious with feeding this to budgies that are then feeding it to their new born or fledglings (3 week olds). I suspect the younger bird can't cope with the parsley in their digestion.

[@melaniearellano5737]

My birds right now have laid eggs and have been hurting eachother in self defense to the point where they’re limping and bleeding, weve seemed to get that problem covered but whenever they do argue my mom yells at them in hopes to get them to stop. In the video it said to not yell at the birds, would that count too since she tries to stop them getting hurt?

[@BudgieWorld]

If you look at any breeding video I have, I always say separate the breeding pair, this is how you solve the problem, not by yelling or punishing the budgies in any form

[@melaniearellano5737]

Budgie World thank you. We usually do seperate the 2 birds but this time we weren’t sure which birds to seperate because 2 birds had mated with the same female bird so they kept fighting over her and the eggs. Might sound weird but I’m not sure how to word it haha

I'm sorry to hear that, yes vegetables play important role in budgie diet, it consists of 20% of their diet, the veggies you mentioned are all fine to give your bird, however there are some that are toxic, so always ask before you feed your bird something for the first time. and yes please give the bird veggies, it is very healthy :)

Just so you know, it will take a long time to get him to eat veggies if he hasn’t had them his whole life. You should find some strategies online. Also, when you say lettuce, what type do you mean? Iceberg lettuce is bad for them.
