@@AlyssaThePikachu I actually use a small cage intended for permanent habitation (it was the 2nd largest at the pet store and still miniscule compared to my enclosure) for travel and outside time! It gives them more space than their carrier, so if they're gonna be in it longer than fifteen minutes, that is where they go. Which is why we bring this up. Small cages are bigger than most carriers, so they're perfect for anything short of air travel. But you've also gotta make sure you emphasize that they shouldn't be used for permanent habitation when you talk about them like this, because they are marketed as being for permanent habitation.

Don't leave them in it too long though! 3. If you're not sure if something is safe for your bird, you probably want to not add it until you make sure it is safe and more research is done! and 4.

On the subject of toys: Make sure the clips and chains are safe. No spring clamps like a carabiner clip or keychain clip. Make sure the chains/rings that the toys are hanging on are also closed rings and not rings that are on keychains that twist around these too can also hurt beaks. Bonus tip: an alternative for the grit/calcium supplement - get a cuttlebone. calcium and chew toy all in one. STAY AWAY from the "mineral blocks" though. they have a lot of additives. Controversial Tip: In my experience sanding perches/rope perches are not all bad, but they should not be the ONLY perch you have in your cage. Your bird should have at LEAST 3 different types of perches to choose from of varying widths and shapes. Even natural perches should be used carefully based on the types of dye, sealant, and wood type used. (what I'm saying is just make sure you're getting your perches from a good source and not just going outside and picking up some branches) If you do use a sanding perch, it should be put near the food (Essentially in a place where they will use it, but not sit on it all day. It should be a spot where they sit temporarily) The same goes for rope perches. Overall, always make sure your toys and materials in your bird's cage are always maintained and monitored for defects. Do your research, get many opinions, read published bird books, watch online videos and love the heck out of your little feather friend.
@mehere80383 жыл бұрын
agreed :) on the cuttlebone, if they won't eat it, try to get a natural one. I got one on ebay from a user who advertised that it was hand collected from a local beach & one of my birds LOVES that, but won't touch any other cuttlebone. One packet I bought stunk of fish when I opened it, so presumably that's why. I think most is probably waste products from the fishing industry, whereas the one collected from the beach had been floating in the ocean, being cleaned by the sun & salt water for months before she got it. So if you think your bird doesn't like cuttle bone, try naturally sourced before being sure of that

My budgie loved his bells and actually composed little songs and accompanied music he loved on his favorite bell. Tube bells were way too heavy for him. I suggest watching the bird to see how he uses the bell. If all he does is attack the clapper, take the bell. Birds like to talk to a mirror , sometimes fight it if agitated, even when they have mates, perhaps not to bite their friends, so if they’re not obsessing on the mirror, it’s okay. ABSOLUTELY AGREE ABOUT FABRIC TOYS. The parrot will shred and can get snagged in unique ways. My budgie got a wing tip caught in a raveling satin ribbon. I saw her trying to pull free and cut the thread with scissors. She could have dislocated her wing or worse.

One tip I do have for bird owners who happen to have a smaller cage, keep that cage door open whenever you’re around, sometimes your bird will just sit on a perch, which is fine, if the door is open because then it’s their choice to be there. My bird hangs out on his cage quite a bit, and it’s a smaller cage (it’s all I could afford at the time and currently saving for a more apt cage), but that cage door is always open whenever I’m around. I also find that it’s better to make your own bird toys, it’s much cheaper overall and you know what is going into that toy

I got two of the biggest parrot cages, that still fit through my doors. Took one side out of each and wired them togethef, voila a hugd cage, takes up almost the full room. Then we made them an aviary outside, about 4 x 5m . But the best part for the sulphur crested cockatoos is, that they can decide to go out. A wire cube, attached from the cage side door leads to the window, where I got a cat door, outside the window is another home made wire tunnel that leads to the aviary. In the aviary we have natural dirt, bushes branch highways, hollow tree trunks, a bath and toys, rain and sun and shade! And other birdie friends, they talk too. Plus we sit outthere with them too. Got a comfy bench in the aviary, so we can have a chat, haha They never sleep outside, they may miss out on dinner, haha, they love what we eat. Outside they nibble on the vegetation.

1) Those toys with a long chain and slivers of thin wood. My Yellow Nape Amazon goes through like one a week, but this is what happened the first time I gave him one: As he chews away the pieces of wood, the length of exposed chain increases. Thankfully, I was right next to his cage when he started screaming bloody murder because the chain twisted around his leg and he got caught up in there. What I do now is hang the toy in such a way (through the top of the cage but clip it to the side) so I can keep an eye on how much exposed chain there is and adjust so there’s only like an inch or two. Not enough to wrap around his leg. 2) The rope perches are fine, as long as you watch your bird isn’t ingesting it. 3) All cages should have THREE stainless steel bowls. Water, dry food, veggies. And preferably with outside access so you don’t have to stick your hand into the cage. That action, for a new timid bird you’re training, is a disaster. 4) Great channel, and subscribed.

100% agree with you that frayed rope products can be dangerous. My lovebird entangled her foot in a string and was stuck upside down. In her panic trying to free herself, she only made it worse. Luckily I was in the room when it happened and was able to cut her free. I threw out that toy immediately and will never place another in her cage again.

On the cheaper bells they can also get the clappers right out of they (Macaws, in this case) work it enough. And then they're at risk of ingesting this little piece of metal as well. (Fortunately, a handy peanut bit works as a sure-fire trade. . .)

An employee caught me looking at the birds (was watching parakeets cuz they're cute, not interested tho) and cages. I was looking at the larger ones since I heard that P'lets would do better in em, and this guy points out that the two budgies are bonded and that if I wanted one, I should get both. I didn't ask but sure that's fine and all but then the man points at the TINIEST CAGES (around 10"x10") and then goes: "This cage is big enough for both of them." NAHHHH

I guess it really depends on individual birds. I have four birds, Senegal, GCC, lovebird and cockatiel and they all hv sleeping tents and some of the toys mentioned here, but they have been doing fine for about five years now. They don't chew on their tents, although I did remove some fabric perches a couple of years ago after they were chewed on by the Senie. I think you'll just need to keep a close eye on how they behave and if you see anything that could be harmful, just remove them.

A normal cage needs to have (2 medium-sized food bowls, 2 water containers a nest and a plate-sized bird bath that should be deep enough to swallow their legs. I recommend you getting a mixed diet.) Birds need to be entertained too. So get some friendly toys. If you can entertain them yourself its not necessary.

I have had birds my entire life and I have used about half of these products regularly without even considering what the consequences could be for the poor babies. I even fed my birds only millet for their entire lives. It sucks that people trap animals inside their homes but don't care enough to find out what is good and harmful for them. But what can you expect, most people don't care enough to find out what is good and bad for themselves, let alone another living being. I guess I got what I had coming because one day I took my bird outside (for whatever reason) even though she was not trained and unlike other times, when I clutched her closely so she wouldn't fly away, this time I got confident, put her on the grass, then she got spooked and flew away. I realized that you can't own a life. She was never mine to begin with, but I was under the impression that she was. I was very foolish, and still am, but at least now I know that when you treat living beings like shit, they will one day find an escape (whether it's by death or otherwise) and you will experience the same pain they went through. Birds probably shouldn't be living in our houses, anyways. I doubt they like it like a dog does, but that's beside the point. Just know that we don't get to keep anything in this life. All we have is our soul. Life is a gift. The present moment is an opportunity for us to do better than before. I made mistakes, I hurt animals and people in the past, but I will be more aware from now on and try to never harm a living creature again. Thank you for making this video and opening my eyes a bit more to the importance of considering what I'm about to do before I act.

I get what you are saying when you said "Birds probably shouldn't be living in our houses, anyways" but if a bird is bred in captivity, they can't be released. they don't know how to find food or what to avoid. You defiantly shouldn't release a parrot in a place that species of parrot is not native to, if you decide to release it anyways. That would honestly be worse than not taking care of it correctly.

All of these things aren't necessarily bad tbh. Sandpaper perches also help with beak filing. My parakeet loves hers but never uses it habitually. Boings and rope swings are absolutely fine, just know your bird and do daily cage checks. My cockatoo loves and I mean LOVES ropes. I truthfully just check his ropes daily and snip and clean them so he doesn't get stuck or eat them. Plastic food bowls are available for my cockatoo, but they're made of very thick plastic and cleaned daily with water and weekly with very mild dish soap (seriously don't use a lot). Bird vitamins aren't bad in idea but yes please don't use a lot. My cockatoo loves the flavor of it, but I only use a very little bit. Keeps him drinking well. Space it out! Don't give a lot.

So sorry for this long novel :))) I did so many mistakes when i got my very first bird. She had a mirror, 3 dowel perches, rope perches and even rope toys! It didn't take me long to learn that the mirror was a NO NO. I started to notice that my ringneck did spend a lot time with her reflection (including hormonal behavior) so i imminently knew to remove the mirror. I knew dowel perches and rope toys were bad, but i already had purchased a parakeet kit filled with natural chewing and foraging toys, including lots of multiple different natural perches. I only had to wait for it to arrive. My ringneck has a rough history when being young, so she is not handtame and has a fear of men. Now after 3 months of having her, i can see a lot of progress in both of us. She has a large cage full of natural toys, i still have my boing and 2 rope perches in so she get to go around her cage (she never chews them, and she really loves to use them) and a LOT of different perches. Looking back what my cage used to look like vs. now, it definitely looks a lot better! And i can see that my bird is a lot happier as well. She still has "trust issues" and hates fingers more than anything, but i have tried to train her as best as i could, and so far.... we are doing already well in 3 months progress. She willingly steps up on my arms now, likes to hang on my shoulders (i gotta have headphones tho cus rip my ears). And no matter what, if i am eating something then fluuush she will come to me and try to look cute to get my food. that's why i always have something on my drawer that i can give to her so it would seem like a flock "eating and sharing" food together. I love my Indian Ringneck Takila so much, and i have done so much for her and i only want the best. Every time i decide to buy new food, i always make sure that it's good / recommended for them.

Around 3 months ago my brother accidentally stood on my bird, he broke his hip, snapped it's leg in half and had internal bleeding and was not expected to survive. We drove for hours to get to a special bird vet where they said they can try and save him but it was unlikely he would survive, they put a pin in his leg and tried to save him. We brought him home after two days, every two weeks we had to bring him back there so they could check up on him. After about 2 weeks they told us him was probably going to live but he will never be properly healed and may never walk the same again. Now if you took a look at my bird you would never even know anything ever happened to him. He has made a full recovery and is going to be ok.😊

Even though I own canaries, not parrots, these tips are really helpful. Just a few tips. 1. Dowel perches are not really bad, the same with sandy perches, IF those perches are the lowest. Birds tend to sleep on the highest perch. So I just put sandy and dowel perches but they are low. 2. Small cages can be useful travel carriers, but just like you said, they can't be a birds permanent cage, as thwy need space. 3. Cotton rope perches are ok as long as they have no loose strings. 4. Bird litter can be used as a foraging activity, because you can hide seeds or treats in it.
@d.e.b.b57883 жыл бұрын
I've found that having a large cage with multiple diameter and shape perches is best. The highest perch is a concrete one with sort of natural rough stone surface, which helps keep his nails wearing down naturally, and he can always move to one of the smooth wooden perches if it hurts his feet. The top of the cage also has a concrete block which he walks on regularly, which also helps keep his toenails wearing naturally, so much so that I haven't had to trim his nails in almost 30 years. He's an African Gray, and that top concrete perch is about 2" in diameter, he also has one of those which are only rough on the sides, though it doesn't feel like it is rough enough to cause wear on his toenails. Dowel perches are okay as long as there are enough different diameter ones available for your bird to stand on.... including 'square-ish' ones. Variety is best.

I gotta disagree with the vitamin & supplement section, it totally depends on the kind of bird, how its kept, and of course its diet. Personally I own an indoor pigeon who needs the extra vitamins mixed into the food, since he won't be able to get vitamin d naturally indoors (ultraviolet rays cant go through windows), and other vitamins that he wouldn't get from his diet naturally (his diet consists of seed, grains, corn & peas, etc. Typical grain eating bird diet.) Plus there can often also be calcium in the supplement, which is vital if your bird lays eggs, accidental or not. Of course dosage has to be kept an eye on, since overdosing can obviously be horrible to any animal, but vitamin deficiency can also be bad.

I would suggest people to do also their own research and talk to their vets before following any advice they hear on social media. Because after all it is all about their pet's life and well-being.
