A zebra finch builds a “Bird Cave”

[@CvndyClvb]

I know this is late, but I want to give you my utmost condolences for your loss. Pepe was truly a comedic and sweet little birdie! My zebra finch, Skittles, is still here and I've had him for 10 years. He's still holding up, just not nearly as active as he used to be when he was young. I'm appreciating all the time I have with him. Rest in peace, Pepe. Fly high 💞

[@fradsou]

Thank you so much your kind words! Pepe was definitely a unique little birdie and was quite comedic as you observed. The fact that Skittles is holding up at 10 years means that you are taking great care of him, and I am so glad to hear that you are appreciating him a lot! :))

No need to worry about Pepe! He hasn’t exhibited any behavior that is typical among lonely birds such as plucking their own feathers, showing a complete lack of interest in singing, preening, eating or building numerous nests or just being plain inactive and just staring into space. Instead, over the last 12+ years, Pepe has displayed characteristic signs of being an extremely happy bird on a daily basis by merrily chirping his day away while building numerous nests, eating his millet seed, grit and greens, taking at least 2 baths a day and sunbathing in the direct sunlight several times a day; and finally of course, bossing me around when he is in his territorial mood by pecking me if I touch or attempt to touch his stuff and my stuff too such as my computer mouse and keyboard and even my iPad!

how long need to take to bond a zebra finch? I have a female but she is little nervous when I was around there. She can eat on my hand, but while she eating I need to pretend I am a stone lol. I have it 4 months now. :)

[@fradsou]

The fact that your finch is already eating out of your hand indicates that she is already getting comfortable with you in just 4 months! In my case, the reason that Pepe is not the least bit afraid of me is because I have been his caretaker for 12 years now. Since I do spend lots of time in his room practicing my guitar or working on my computer, he will on his own accord come and bond with me when he feels like it. For example, he will come on me and preen or take a nap, and when he is in his territorial mood he will peck me if I touch his stuff which is pretty much every thing in his room, including my stuff - Lol. In general, birds have unique personalities, and so the amount of time it takes for them to not be fearful or nervous of you varies, but eventually the more time you spend with them, the more comfortable they will be around you. Wishing you all the best on your finch bonding with you over time! Thanks for watching Pepe’s video! :)

Sorry for the late reply! Occasionally, I don’t get notified when new comments are posted. I have mentioned to other commenters inquiring as to why I don’t get Pepe a buddy. It’s just that Pepe has grown accustomed to having his room all to himself for 12 years! As documented in his videos, he is extremely territorial and set in his ways, which is why I have no plans to introduce another finch and disrupt his very happy and stress free life, especially at this very late stage in his life.

He does seem very happy and satisfied. I'm sure you're giving him everything he needs!

[@fradsou]

@@anitaangyal4644 You figured correctly that I supply Pepe with pretty much everything he needs, but there are times when I do slip up, and in those cases Pepe lets me know in no uncertain terms that I need to attend to his needs. Here are a few examples: One time I forgot to put his bird seed and water containers back in his cage after I had taken them out to another room to clean them under a water faucet. What happened was that I got distracted with a phone call and returned to his room without his food and water containers. So Pepe then flew back and forth right in front of my face until I realized that I did not return his containers back to his room. Another time, when I was working late at night, Pepe decided on that particular night to sleep in a nest right next to my keyboard. And then when I was speed typing a long report, he did not like the keyboard sounds I was making, and so he came over the keyboard and pecked my fingers really hard to let me know to keep the noise level down and not to type so fast. Another time I was yawning a little too loudly during the daytime, and so little Pepe flew right on my eyeglass frame and pecked my right eyebrow to let me know that he did not appreciate me yawning so loudly. Another time his cage door hinges got loose and shut close so that he couldn’t get in it. He then got my attention by continuously hovering around my face until I figured out that his cage door was shut down. After that, I fixed the cage door so that it wouldn’t accidentally close shut again. Thought you might be interested in these little tidbits! :))

What are you doing Pepe?

[@fradsou]

Pepe is working on another hiding spot where he can’t be easily seen. Sometimes when I enter his room I have no idea where he is hiding. Thanks for watching! :)

My zebra finch never comes to my hand and he is so curius to me. I give him care, love and I always talk to him so he never get alone. But he always scare of me. How to get love to myself. Please help I dont want to scare him. Sorry for my bad english im a turkish guy.

[@fradsou]

Hi. I understand the situation with your zebra finch because Pepe used to fly away every time I approached him. Eventually your finch will get comfortable with your presence and interact with you. How long it takes depends on your finch’s unique personality. In Pepe’s case, it was several years before he felt comfortable enough to come on me on his own terms. Wish you all the best with your zebra finch, and thanks for watching! :)

@@fradsou thank you so much for replying my comment. My zebra finch is doing good now. I feed him with apples.

[@mirandadecker7073]

Hi how is Pepe doing

[@fradsou]

Hi. Thanks for checking in on Pepe Caliente! I am sorry to say that he passed away at age 13. Even though I now have another cute male zebra finch, I do miss Pepe’s territorial bossy behavior.

[@Mccormick2023]

@@fradsou aw Pepe was amazing may he Rest In Peace but I thought finches could only live 5-6 years

[@user-xi1mr5gr4o]

@@fradsou I'm really sorry, but maybe you could upload videos of your new zebra finch, I really like your videos :)

Welcome to Pepe’s channel where you can really examine his interesting behavior up close! Glad to know you are thinking of getting a pair, especially since their antics are so adorable! :)

@@fradsou hows ur video going? miss pepe :)

[@fradsou]

@@orchidbo Unfortunately Pepe Caliente passed away at 13 years, way above the expected lifespan of 5-7 years for wild zebra finches. I still miss him even though I now have another male zebra finch. Thanks for being a Pepe fan all these years!

[@orchidbo]

@@fradsou i’m so sorry to hear that.. i’ll love pepe always and forever :)

@@orchidbo Thank you for your uplifting and heartwarming comment! :)

[@ChaosHamsterG]

how is pepe doing after a year?

[@fradsou]

I was hoping Pepe would live a few more years, but he passed away at 13, above the expected lifespan of 5-7 years for zebra finches in the wild. I currently have another male zebra finch, and I am hoping to make an introduction video on him before the end of this year! Thanks for being a fan of Pepe Caliente’s videos! :)

[@channelmix6838]

[@candyllydnac]

OMG U POSTEDDD sorry for late viewing 😔 PEPE IS SO CUTE Do u know what that sound was at 1:06?

[@fradsou]

That cute sound is from Pepe! Another viewer of this video stated that when Pepe makes that sound, it indicates that he is feeling cozy and content!! Thanks for watching and being a great Pepe fan!

[@ميسون-ص4غ]

اشتريله امرئه ليتزوجها 😭

[@zikki918]

He need a female

[@fradsou]

Pepe has grown accustomed to having his room all to himself for 12 years now! As documented in his videos, he is extremely territorial, which is why I have no plans to introduce another finch and disrupt his very happy and stress free life, especially at this very late stage in his life. Thanks for watching and looking out for Pepe’s well-being!
