[@mimishella4915]

Ok. I commented in the last video of yours I saw. I'll say this: You need to have different branches for your birds or they''ll get bumblefoot. And put some more amusements in there. Imagine yourself living in the boring cage.

[@BLeesPets]

Thnx for you comment. But there was 5 different toys in there. I also change out there toys so they don't get bored. I believe it's also good to leave a little room for the birds to fly to exercise as they would naturally do. To many toys are not good either. Imagine yourself living in clutter and not being able to fly. Branches I agree. They are in a different cage now with smaller branches.

Good information Brenda. I personally would rather have parakeets. I grew up with them, my Mom liked having them and I have owed 2 myself. When we moved they liked to sit on their swing and swing all the way in the car lol.

Ive had budgies now i have finches.. i prefer finches. Their bite doesnt hurt and theyre less messy because theyre small and their droppings are smaller than budgies

[@reedwetzel1324]

I agree with everything you said about finches and parkeets. I own both and finches are messes bird I have ever owned. I one have one negative I think mirror are cruel and you can have just one parakeet, but you need to interact with it often. I had one parakeet for 3 years and just now bought a second, they get along great but my first parkeet ignores me more now.

[@BLeesPets]

Yes, I agree you need to interact with your bird if you have just one. They will bond with you. But having 2 does lessen that bond. Just keep interacting with them🤓The mirror, both of my birds love it. But I daily interact with both birds. They are my pets, I love them🤓Thnx so much for stopping by.🤓🐦🐦

Aww I'm sure you are a good Finch mom. Well either try a female and male together and if you don't want baby chicks then just take the eggs out when you see them. You may find them happier. Or get a parakeet/bungie : )

Here in Australia Zebra finches budgies ( parakeets) and cockatiels are native and they often follow each other in the wild in response to rain so the three are the ultimate trio they have evolved to be in each other’s company are indeed all very much flock birds.

my zebra finches and parakeet actually enjoy each others company they even play together in the same cage they don't hurt each other at all and my parakeet enjoys all my 4 finches because she lost 4 friends 2 finches and 2 parakeets and the finches keep her happy because i have school a lot so i can't do anything with her.

I love both but budgies are way more messy . My fist bird was a society finch he was tame and he lived ten years . Best bird I've ever had, both are equally great and both cheap in my opinion. Finches sell for 20/24 dollars and budgies 20/24 also where I live sometimes I can get them for 19 dollars depending where u go. My finch was very easy to tame he was basically tame and not scared of me from the day I got him..I was 12 when I got him and I bought him from Walmart years ago when they sold birds he died when I was 22 . I cried like a baby he died peacefully in his nest .

Aww so nice it lived for 10 years. I wonder if the Society finch are easier to tame then Zebra Finches. Cause all the zebra finches I've own I could never tame.

[@seventiesgirl6449]

I definitely agree with everything you said about finches vs parakeets. I had zebra finches and a parakeet years ago. The zebra finches were a lot more work because they are 10 times messier. The seeds and hulls would be everywhere! So were their droppings- On the floor, on the wall, in the cage. Every morning when I got up, my day began with cleaning up the finch mess- Vaccuming and washing the wall. The parakeet, on the other hand, the mess would not be even half of what the finches made and stayed in the cage. Zebras also sound like a cross between a kazoo and a game show buzzer. Society finches and Gouldian finches have a much better "voice". Canaries of course are finches but I haven't had any and honestly they seem like a species onto itself with different voices in the singers and even the type and color varieties, so I won't mention them. I love the parakeets and probably would have chosen the Society finch or Gouldian if they had been available at the time where I had been living, just for comparison.

[@BLeesPets]

Yes agree. I do love my Society finches and yes they are messy. Thnx for the input and for stopping by : )

[@ThermicLight]

A clear plastic around the sides of the cage with an open top, with some sections cut out , does greatly reduce the mess they make. Works well for my cockatiel.

Watching this & other videos of yours for 2nd time. We can all laugh as I'm going back & forth on which to get still. Debating for weeks. I don't expect to be traveling by RV though you guys seem to be having fun. I ordered a large flight cage online which could house 2 of either. I love the song of the finches, do enjoy the wild ones outside. Am learning towards 2 male parakeets. Now making sure they're males will be interesting. I've watched Love of Pets & she's shown a couple of babies. The male seems to have pink cere and female light blue with tiny white spots near nares. Well, so long as they're both the same sex. Hope I'm not disappointed in cage I ordered online. Now making a list of supplies, type toys & food. Thank you for sharing your videos. 💕

Oh nice. Yeah, I had 2 parakeets. I didn't know the that the females are dominating and my poor Louie was being squawked at constantly. So I had to rehome Holly. I'm now thinking on getting another male Parakeet. The males do have a blue ridge beak. Females have no color or a slight pink. But now on the other hand. Female Finches are quieter.

I'll have to see what the cage I ordered online is really like. It says 46×35.5×18. If it works I'll set it up, get supplies, feed, and off to find a male parakeet . Am sure Holly is happy & more peace in your bird haven. I only have 1 dog now ( my little girl died after surgery almost a yr ago) he's a tall boy so we'll see the interaction. He's a retired racing greyhound and perfect for me. I adopted him about 3 1/2 yrs ago & gets along with cats outside & animals at the vet, doesn't chase the birds or rabbits outside.

[@juliepagano4708]

You need naturally wood perches and shredding toys no Cotten rope toys and no mirrors also birds need to eat pellets not seeds so they don’t get fatty liver disease also you don’t use a mirror because they will get hormonal. You also need more perches and possibly get another cage because birds need there own space. The perches need to be natural wood perches so your birds dont get bumble foot. Also if you can’t afford the cage and it’s set up then you most definitely can not own the bird. Also I don’t prefer the birds from pets mart because they can have a disses and they will not be tame. I am not trying to afend you in any way but I am 10 and have a budgie that is in the best care possible.

Parakeets are really easier. They be a little loud at times but they seem to be a little more cleaner then finches. Finches throw their food out more and they poop more. They also seem to eat more. Parakeets like to play more with their toys. So if you get a parakeet make sure they have at least 2 or 3 toys in the cage. Make sure that you make room for them to exercise their wings.

I know finches are more of a hands off type but i don't believe in blanket statements like that. I've seen them become quite friendly with ppl and even fly to them. I just have no idea what type of finch to get or even where to look. It's confusing online. Would be nice to find a breeder who hand raises them...

[@BLeesPets]

Finches are lovely birds as long as you only have 2. 2 Females are best. And you can tame them but it takes a lot of training. Set the cage near you every day and stick hand in cage so they get used to it. Then try and feed them by hand. Females sing or should I saw squeak very nice. On the other hand Budgies are much easier to tame. I tamed my within the first 3 days. Louie gets on my hand as soon as I put my hand in. I do have 2 male budgies and there is less squawking. And male budgies sing very pretty. A Canary is one of my favorites for a singing bird. Which is one that is on my list to get next as a bird :) Don't know much about them yet. Go with your heart :)
