My childhood pet was a budgie. I've had cats and dogs and loved them all dearly. But the most _special_ bond I've ever had with an animal was with my Budgie. All of the happy memories I had with her are a warm fuzzy glow in my heart. My parents bought her for me after my grandmother suddenly died when I was 8 years old. I was still grieving when I got her. She used to sit on my shoulder and kiss and nibble away my tears. She loved listening to Chopin and mimicked R2D2 noises. She loved to manipulate and knock over board game pieces like monopoly. She LOVED when I would sing to her, she often danced along. She also "helped" decorate the Christmas tree. She would sit on my santa hat and play with the white fuzzy ball. She literally ate my homework. (Well, she would often nibble on the edges of the paper while I tried to focus.) She would preen my hair and tunnel through it like a little feathery tarzan. I was an only child and that little bird was my best friend and playmate. I had her from age 8 to 18. I'm 28 now and I still miss my little bird. She taught me so much. The amount of love that one can feel for and from a tiny little creature is palpable and poignant.

I volunteered in a shelter with 24 medium to large parrots at any one time, about 25% of them macaws. Also adopted a blue-gold. They were always my favorite, but they are very powerful, and more dangerous yet, they have a mind very similar to a toddler. Ever seen a toddler throw a temper tantrum? Then imagine a toddler that has a scream that can reach literal jet engine volumes (150-160 dB) and a biteforce that rivals large dogs. As an aside for anyone seeing this, please don't teach your birds curse words like this. It seems like a fun, harmless thing to do, but birds that cursed were many times less likely to be adopted. You may think, "Well, I'm not going to give my bird up anyway." It's a nice thought, but many of our permanent residents were there because their owners died or became otherwise physically incapable of caring for them. You could have a stroke tomorrow and see the same thing happen. Don't make bets on an undecided future at the potential cost of their own future and happiness.

Seeing videos of budgies nowadays makes me melancholy because we used to have a pet budgie when I was a kid that we didn't take proper care of at all. We really had no idea what we were doing and the poor thing was miserable as a result. We gave him food and water and a couple of toys, but didn't interact with him nearly as much as we should have. After several years of this, my mom decided that we should just release it outside rather than continue to try and care for it. Fortunately, I knew enough about animals at that age to know that this was a terrible idea and ended up calling a local bird sanctuary in a panic. I told the owner of the bird sanctuary what my mom was planning and the owner talked some sense into her over the phone and agreed to take the budgie in. The next day, we brought the budgie over to the bird sanctuary and said goodbye to him. Flutter, I'm sorry for the crappy time we gave you and I hope your life at the bird sanctuary was a million times better!

I am in the same boat- when I was a kid we had several birds, cockatiels and parakeets, and we didn't know how to care for them properly either. Looking back I feel bad. They either died, escaped outside and flew off, or were ultimately given away. As the years passed both me and my parents learned and became better animal caretakers but I still cringe over our first failed attempt. There's so much misinformation out there, too, that didn't help. Hopefully now with internet more people have more access to info and can make better choices if they care to research.

Pigeons are potentially much longer lived than Budgies, and far less susceptible to cancer. Budgies are more likely to develop cancer in middle or late age than any other animal, except domestic strains of House Mice and Brown Rats that have been bred for susceptibility to cancer. Avian Leukosis Virus is endemic in nearly all Budgie stocks. Too often, so are Scaly Face Mites (Knemidocoptes pilae). Look it up in the veterinary literature. Budgies usually live to only 5 to 8 years of age. Pigeons routinely live into their late teens or early 20s with good care, and friendly Pigeons are actually much more handleable than most Budgies and even some friendly Cockatiels. Pigeons don't scream or screech, and can't bite as hard as Budgies if they are angry. They are far easier to train for free flight, though raptors can target them. Pigeons that have bonded with you will even accompany you as you cycle about outdoors.

I love having budgies! They're extremely social creatures that are a lot of fun to observe, especially in a larger group (I recommend 4-6, ideally 50% male and 50% female, for best results). At the very least, you should keep a pair, unless you can literally be around your bird 24/7. Being alone is highly stressful for them and can cause all kinds of behavioral and even physical problems. People have this misconception that keeping several budgies at once will prevent them from becoming "tame", but the reality is that you can befriend almost any budgie in any group, at any age (although very young birds take to it more easily). They're very food-motivated, so approaching them with a snack (some favorites include millet, basil, chickweed, dandelion, lettuce, watermelon and cucumber) and a bit of patience will almost always lead to results. They really are loud, though, so they might not be a hit with family or neighbors. Also, it's super important to bird-proof the room they're in as they WILL need a few hours outside of their cage every day to stretch their wings, and they gnaw on freakin' everything they can get their little beaks on, including electric cables and things that may be toxic to them or cause a choking hazard (like copper, lead, plastic, houseplants, textiles ...). Hopefully, you're not too attached to your wallpaper. Oh, and female budgies will constantly seek out small, dark spaces to breed. On the upside, if you don't provide them with those spaces, they most likely won't breed. (They might mate, but just for fun ;) - no ovulation will be triggered.) I also recommend looking for a specialized vet. Most vets are so used to small mammals, they have no idea how to treat a bird. (That's not their fault, just letting y'all know.)

From my experience they can last 4-5 days without food. Had to find this out the hard way. For anyone curious about the story I decided to get a parakeet as my first pet ever. I researched a million things and decided to finally go to my nearest petco to get one. One of the things i didnt research was it's food. You see i got the parakeet and everything he needed but the food i got was pellets. Bc pellets are much healthier and better for them than seeds and i wanted the best for my parakeet so i obviously got the best for him. What i didn't know and what the lady standing right next to me didn't tell me was that they need time and slowly transition to different kinds of foods. That parakeet never had any pellets and only has eaten seeds his whole life. So he never recognize the pellets as food and died of starvation about 4-5 days later. The only reason i didn't notice myself is bc he loved to play with the pellets. I thought it was just some weird thing where he liked to also play with the food he ate. I shoulda researched more but tbh i thought the petco lady woulda at least told me that, she told me just about everything else and even asked me If it's my first time getting a bird, yet she said nothing and just watched me throw the pellets into the cart. After blaming myself for a while i decided to start again with my knowledge i gained the hard way and rn i have 2 really healthy and happy budgies. It's been almost a year since that incident. If anyone watches this and decides to get a budgie please ask ppl what exactly are they feeding the budgie and then buy whatever they say it's eating. Also buy the pellets, just slowly add the pellets overtime. Don't make my same mistake

We put everything, replaced his water and seeds. Even though he drank his water he didn't touch the seeds at all. After 2 days, I noticed that he was literally trembling because of hunger. I got him his old seeds, and while I was doing that he flew to my hand to eat them (when I was replacing) that's how hungry he was :( he would usually wait for me to do anything, but he was soo hungry. But we noticed fortunately :) I honestly thought he was just being really picky about it at that time

Though his voice was comparably smaller than my Grey or my Yellow naped Amazon, he picked up words quickly and clearly. He immediately associated meanings and learned to both respond to and to give vocal commands! People overlook and undervalue these brilliant birds.

I would feed mainly pellets because too many seeds can cause health issues with them not being as active as they would in the wild. I know this is the general rule for parrots and I'm guessing it's the same for parakeets.

Actually, a chopped diet is the best main food source for all parrots including budgies. It is a mix of cooked grains, legumes, veggies plus fresh chopped veggies with some fruit. Pellets as topper and seeds for treats and training.
@artwolf54473 жыл бұрын
Yes I was looking to see if anyone would mention pellets instead of seeds. It is definitely a healthier choice for any parrot. We want our birds to live long and happy lives and an overweight bird with vitamin deficiencies doesn’t have that. And to go along with the pellets they will also need veggies on a daily basis with fruit and seeds/ nuts only as treats. I’m the lucky owner of a blue fronted amazon, a white bellied caique, a king parrot and a budgie☺️

Budgie is short for Budgerigar, which as a word seems to be descended from one of a couple of First Australian words for either 'good parrot' or maybe 'good food' (it's uncertain). I've been fortunate enough to see wild flocks of them, hundreds (if not thousands strong. Every now and then you can find a 'green leafy tree' out in the outback, only to have all the 'leaves' (actually Budgerigars) take flight, revealing that the tree's actually long dead.

It's highly recommended to keep atleast two budgies, for a multitude of reasons: - naturality: providing a more natural environment keeps your animal healthy and mentally stable (happy) - convenience: you can't be around your animal 24/7, but a parrot like a Budgie or Cockateel needs 24/7 attention or else it is unhappy and stressed. No holidays or traveling for you! - health: when your animal is unhappy or stressed from being alone, it is more prone to being sick, either mentally or physically from harming itself (plucking of own feathers) That said, some people have great success when keeping only one bird, but usually they spend lots of time with it, for instance when you have a giant family and everyone there takes part in taking care of the animal. So, if you are working a lot, living alone or you're family doesn't support you with your pet, 100% take two animals.

@@stefanostokatlidis4861 in some ways, this is both a practical and ethical question. Humans have already "interfered" with that species by taking it out of the wild and breeding it domestically. Budgies are very intelligent, very social animals. If they're being kept in human homes, they should be given the opportunity to bond with humans for their own safety and enrichment. If they don't, it's harder to give them appropriate veterinary care, and it's nearly impossible to recover them if they get lost outdoors. They won't allow humans to get close enough to secure them and get them inside.

What good timing, this video released right after I uncovered and let my budgies out for the day! The two of them are currently bouncing around on the cockatiel cage and swinging the cords to the blinds like the little menaces they are, lol One important thing I will add on to here is that seeds really shouldn't make the vast bulk of their diet- it should be mixed in with parakeet pellets as well to prevent the onset of fatty liver disease. This is because a diet of all seeds is essentially like feeding your birds hamburgers and shakes for the entirety of their life, it doesn't give enough nutrients. Of course, most budgies hate switching over, but if that's the case, it's best to up the amount of greens in their diet and encourage them to get lots of time flying about to help :) Also, I've personally had a great deal of luck training them to not fly into mirrors or windows by gently holding them up to them and tapping their lil beaks or chests all over them to let them know they can't fly through it. Not all budgies picked up on this, but those that did learned to chart safe flight paths about our house that they could fly without smacking into things. They're pretty smart birds, but remember, they can't see glass, so its up to you to help them out with that! Glass collisions can be devastating to such a little bird

I've lived with a couple generations of Amazon parrots, double yellow head, lilac crowned and mealy. They are loud! And they have a very obvious preference for for some on the family and disgust/aggression for others (often the one who wanted the bird). Also a couple rescue blue and gold macaws. Most of my birds were older, cage bound, aggressive birds who ruled the house. When the parents were gone, often the kids were terrified or grossed out by the feathered tyrant! I can vouch for how charming parakeets and cockatiels are. It may take months or years to gain trust with the bigger birds, and minutes to hours to a handleable budgie. At present i have European starlings, which are the best passerines I've ever lived with! They are outgoing, clever, matter mimics, and their songs are gorgeous. I would put them on par with parrots. One last thing about the big parrots. They love deeply, even when their needs aren't really being met. They are loyal. They grieve horribly when given up or abandoned. It can take them decades to recover from loss, especially the grays and cockatoos. My first rescue was a furious ball of feathers who took years to gain trust, he was 45 when i got him and lived another 40 years. It's more a marriage than adoption! Please volunteer at a parrot rescue and see the realities of living with parrots before committing to one and finding the dander, poopy water and crepuscular screaming are impossible.

So glad you've done a video on budgies! I have my own little budgie boy named Macaroni, he's around 6 months old now & he's doing fantastic. I work from home, so we're always hanging out and he's super content being an only budgie. One thing I'd like to elaborate on if I may, yes, teflon is very bad for budgies, but also bear in mind that things like scented candles, perfumes, essential oils and incense, etc; can also be very harmful to birds. If you use spray deoderant, you will have to consider switching to a roll-on, for example. You cannot use cleaning chemicals around your bird and cleaning/disinfecting should be done with diluted vinegar & water. Mirrors in cages tend to be rejected these days by owners/keepers as your budgie may mistake their reflection for another bird and become bonded to it. When they're bonded to another budgie, they will regurgitate their food as a token of affection. And believe me, you don't want to keep cleaning that off a mirror over and over again. So to keep things hygienic, avoid a mirror in the cage if possible. All in all, as with any pet, please, please, please do your research before getting any type of bird

I adore my budgies, they're not tame but they are freaking adorable and I would do anything for them. A few points I would add is cages should be wider rather than taller as budgies tend to fly from side to side and if you get a tall cage they will be sitting on the top part of the cage rather than using all of it. I would also recommend a staple food of pellets such as Harrison's and "chop" which is homemade food made with different kinds of veggies, leafy greens, beans, seeds etc. There are tons of different kinds of toys such as foraging, shredding, activity and foot toys. Try to avoid mirrors, cotton toys and plastic toys as these are either dangerous, not enriching or can cause hormonal issues. Wooden ones, seagrass ones, paper etc are great toys. All in all such a good video! I love my budgies and I feel they are quite underrated. Additional info: Bird Tricks is a great channel and Elle and the Birds is also good.

I'll add that even if your budgies are not tame, get some millet. Mine don't like my hand, and they don't really like coming out, but they get very comfortable with my hand when it's holding either millet or a bath tub. Millet is pretty much the main way I'm able to interact with them. One thing I've found that is helpful is that when I'm watching TV, I'll move their cage close to me and leave the door open. They don't really like to come out but they do like to watch and being near me I've found. They usually just play with each other, but I think having a human near them gives them some additional comfort.

I had budgies as a kid and teen, and I feel like they fit the lifestyle of older children very well. I'd wake up and change their seeds, water, and waste tray lining. After school my sibling and I would take them out of their cage and play with them. It helped me be responsible: making sure their cage was clean, socializing and training them, and later when they nested by researching the extra care they needed. As a single adult with a full-time job, I find it hard to imagine how I'd fit them into my life the way I could as a kid even though I'd like to have budgies again. Without my sibling and parents also giving them attention, I'd feel bad leaving them at home alone all day. I'm also not sure my apartment neighbors would appreciate their vocalizations.

Budgies, along with macaws, are the most prone to fatty liver disease and can get EXTREME health issues. All seeds are, are cheap fillers that contain far too much fat, and far too little nutrience. Instead, feed pellets! Pellets are yummy for birds and WONT give them fatty liver disease. Ive owned parrots for 40 years now, and I have found that my conures, budgies, amazons, macaws...basically every single parrot except cockatiels are much healthier on a 40% pellet, 10% seed, 20% sprouts and 30% veggies! They live much longer. I'm not bashing anyone, I'm just stating my opinion as to what food is best for your bird.
