[@poomsaekata]

Hi- wondering where wonderful part 2 is!!!!

[@andthen7767]

You are Absolutely Brilliant in building this model. I just Love it and think so many people can benefit from this as well as providing their baby bird chicks with the most perfect brooder. Thank you for sharing it with all of us. We Love all your videos and find it all very helpful.

[@Bird.Squawk]

Wow, Thank you for the kind words. Welcome to the channel. Kevin

[@andthen7767]

@@Bird.Squawk Good Morning Kevin, Hope you are all well? Thank you so much for sending back a reply, it's Always so nice to meet and talk to people who share the same kind of Love they have for their Furry kids. I had four Cockatiel chicks who hatched in the last few days and it's been such an Adventure to see them grow. Please never Stop making your Wonderful video's, I learn so much everytime, and it's little things one doesn't always think of. I watched quite a lot of other channels too, but no-one comes even close to what you present and I'm highly grateful to you for taking the time to do it. Thank you once again for everything you and your family puts into it. Endless Blessings to you all. Kind Regards, Willemien

Thank you for sharing!!!

Thanks for watching....

[@edgufler1122]

Thank you very much for this video. Part 2 will be nice as well. This will be a excellent Brooder when finished. It can save a person some money if they build their own **like this one**. Thank you for sharing this with us.

That was the plan to try and help some people out. Thanks for watching

I'll be waiting for part 2 😁

[@sarbjitsingh4722]

Great video. You should also have mentioned the size of the cooler and bulb wattage as well

[@Bird.Squawk]

Great point! I will look that up

[@poomsaekata]

@@Bird.Squawk also the kind of controller!

[@missymarlar5745]

Process improvement! Sounds like the story of mine and my husbands life lol! We have been watching your videos for a couple of years- thank you for the great information! We love birds and have 5 cockatiels. We recently built an aviary to be able to separate mom and dad from their daughter, and then couldn’t help adding to our Van Tweet family. 😆 we recently started a channel- we are DIY warriors who love to make cool stuff. Would you mind if I left a comment sharing our video of the aviary build? It would mean a lot to gain some views from a fellow bird lover ❤️ thanks! missy

[@Bird.Squawk]

Wow sounds like you guys are busy. As you can imagine I get ask this daily. Send me something that I may review your videos. If I recommend something...it has to be something that I'm totally onboard with... Ive had soooo many that were just looking for views.... it wasn't about the birds... Thank you. Kevin

[@ingridcutterswanson5575]

Awesome😊

[@Alex-S.]

Good video !

[@Bird.Squawk]

Fun build.... Thanks for watching

[@Luna-gi5xr]

Thank you !!!

[@smcc5759]

i was looking for the link of everything you used but couldnt find it. Did it get took down?

[@Bird.Squawk]

sorry about that. It may have. I think the video shows the names of each product. the controller is an InkBird, you can find them on Amazon. other stuff came from the local big box hardware store. Kevin

[@smilingdog54]

Regular bulb vs ceramic heat bulb?

[@caratauro2615]

Hi. Thanks for the video. I have a question, do you have a list of things to purchase to complete part one and part 2? I may have missed it if you did. Thank you so much 🙏🏼

[@Bird.Squawk]

Let me see if I can put something together for you. The two things are the controller and the fan... I guess the light would be third. The rest is just basic materials

[@Meliza18ful]

Can I also get a list of items needed to make this cooler please :)

[@Bird.Squawk]

@@Meliza18ful I'm going to work on getting a list together. However, I try to show all the models of parts in the videos. But a list would be nice. Kevin

[@BeerkegGarage]

I dont like the look of bolts sticking out, also could be a safeth hazard if walking by it could cut you leg. In my design I secured the acrylic with clear silicone caulk

[@localdopedude8818]

Love it

[@Bird.Squawk]

Thank you!

[@trewqtrewq8366]

Can we use this as a incubator

[@Bird.Squawk]

Sure can.

[@jonathanhigbee7849]

Hi, thanks for this vid. Had a question re a prior vid which included mention of the Little Giant Digital Still Air Incubator. It looked like you were using this as a place where your chicks normally hang out - thus I presume you're using the Little Giant as a regular chick brooder also. Did you have to a cut an air hole or holes into the unit to allow for more air input, or did you have to add a fan to blow air into the unit? My own potential use of the Little Giant would be for Timneh Grey chicks. Thanks.

[@Bird.Squawk]

I do use the little giant. However I find that at higher temperatures it's not as as accurate as I would like to be. When it gets to a little bit lower temperature say in the 80s or lower 80s it seems to hold its temp and do fine. It's been my experience that if I needed it to be 95° F it fluctuates too much. It has a built-in fan and I vent the top lids just a little to allow fresh air to come in and out. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching our videos.

[@jonathanhigbee7849]

@@Bird.Squawk Thanks very much for the reply. If you have a pre-made brooder which has more accurate temperature control please let me know (or if you're selling a few of your DIY ones ;-) please let me know also. After reading your advice I decided to hold off on the Little Giant for now (and reading the Amazon reviews for it). Thanks.

[@horror_pichu7884]

Cool

[@prettybirdthepetgoosefrien8155]

How do you diagnose sour crop or slow crop and how do you treat it? I think that is what is wrong with the tiny one and the information on KZbin I'm finding makes me nervous... Not sure they are doing it right... This baby I have is NOT developing, hasn't been... It was super weak when I took them from the parents and I got it to perk up, but I noticed it's crop does not go down nearly as fast as it's older siblings. After 3 hrs the full crop is about half way down. The bigger siblings have nearly completely emptied. I will make a video and link it if that will help. Sorry for being so annoying... Never had this many issues with parents/babies of other species lol.

[@Bird.Squawk]

The first question I have is.... Does the crop go completely empty once a day? if not, yes you have an issue. if it does, it still may be developing slow crop. Temperature of the formula is extremely important. it must be in that 105degree range. If you feel that the baby is developing slow crop, my best advise is take it to a avian vet and get it started on a round of antibiotics. I've never had much luck at all with these home remedies. keep us posted

[@prettybirdthepetgoosefrien8155]

@@Bird.Squawk ok so since I removed it, it has gone from almost lethargic to VERY ACTIVE! I MADE SURE THE CROP IS COMPLETELY EMPTY and it appears to be digesting faster now that I'm hand feeding. I keep the temp at 105 For feedings. After letting the crop empty, and feeding properly and keeping them in the brooder, the crop appears to be emptying faster... Like, tiny is really improving. I recorded a video to show it's current condition. I will be uploading today if you want to see the little one. It's DEFINITELY behind. I haven't been able to find any avian vets around me. I'm in N TX and we are new here. But I'm searching. Since he's improving, I'm hoping he will continue to get better and it was just the parents messing up and I got to him in time ...

[@Bird.Squawk]

@@prettybirdthepetgoosefrien8155 Sounds awesome

[@prettybirdthepetgoosefrien8155]

@@Bird.Squawk just to make it clear, I thought it was just a little slower and the parents just were not feeding it as well ... But they almost NEVER sat on them and I realized that the baby was falling behind. It's over 2 weeks and is the size of a maybe 8 day old? But the eyes opened and it's active and screaming for food as of 20 min ago. Is it a good idea to let the crop empty twice a day for a couple days to make sure the digestive system cleans itself out? Resets itself? Or is that a stupid thought? I REALLY hope I'm not bothering you!

[@Bird.Squawk]

@@prettybirdthepetgoosefrien8155 I would stick to once a day.

[@Paintexplainerhindi]

Next part please

[@ruthtay9819]

When will you be posting part 2

[@OrchidFlorida]

Hi. Where I can order brooder box? if you can help me with this please

[@Meliza18ful]

Is this a 28qt cooler?

[@Bird.Squawk]

Not sure the exact size... but I think its smaller than 28qt. But you can do any size... you may have to increase the size of your heat source, or double them. If wired together they will come on at the same time. I've been using this new one for a few months now, and it works really well.

[@diegovelazquez7892]

I have been learning a lot from your videos. I am looking to get African Grey Parrot eggs and can't seem to find a reliable/legit place online. Do you happen to have a place that you would recommend for ordering parrot fertile eggs? (African grey or Quaker Parrot) Thank you.

[@Bird.Squawk]

Thank you for the kind words. No, I know of no breeders that sell eggs only, sorry.

Hi, My male cockatiel is mad at the female cockatiel, they’re breeding since last 3 months. They had 3 clutches and after few days of laying the eggs the female bird is not sitting on the eggs. (Eggs we’re fertile) what should I do?

[@Bird.Squawk]

when this happens to us we start pulling eggs. you could leave just one and keep a very close eye on her. she may learn to sit. keep us posted.
