How to be a BAD Bird Owner

[@paulinejackson5861]

I rescued a budgie 7 days ago. Never owned a pet before. I am binge watching all your videos to make sure I do a good job.

I know😂 the feeling, I got a new breed of bird which I have never owned & I'm trying to get any information on baby Conure.I'm doing a bit if this & that!! I drW the line of doing NOTHING WHEN HE IS DRAWING BLOOD. It hurts really bad, so I lift my arm up & down so he'll lose his balance. He stops & I will distract him & we do something else. DO NOTHING, I TRIED THAT & he was bitting harder. He is a lot better now, he is exploring & learning.❤❤❤😂😂😂😂😊😊

Thank you for your comments. Can't believe it's almost been a year. My budgie is doing very well and 2 months ago I bought a second budgie to keep her company when I'm away at work. They are settling in well.

The only thing I struggle with is cleaning the cage, but people actually hit their birds?! I can’t imagine getting angry at my babies, let alone HITTING them :(

[@budgie_tv]

our birds= our babies🤣

[@murphychurch8251]

Yeah, they poop faster than anyone can clean with the best of efforts. During stressful times, it's quite overwhelming when you've got multiple birds. Which of course I have, to make them happy. I don't find cleaning the bottom of the cage to be much of a hassle, that's quickly done. But oh boy, to keep the walls of the cage and the perches clean is a lot of work. And furthermore, deep cleaning the cage means disassembling, scrubbing and showering the parts in the bathtub and then assembling it back again. Takes me a workday to deep clean the cage, all while my birds complain and scream at me for messing up their lives that day. 🙈🙈

[@nugget6470]

when i was ten i freaked out and hit the cage i feel so bad about it now but then agine i was a baby

[@UrFavPookie2000]

Do you think you could do a video on food portions? I think it would be really helpful for first time bird owners, and could help people understand what brands are best. Thanks in advance!

[@bunnybird9342]

I had many budgies as a kid and nobody ever showed me how to properly handle them. Looking back I was physically abusive to them and it makes me very sad to the point where I cry if I think about it too much. I had to learn the hard way and I do not treat any animals like this now, but I feel like the guilt will never go away until I see them again and tell them I am sorry.

@@2_birds-and-a_blonde Thank you! Can I get some advice from you, and some problems you encountered? :D

[@2_birds-and-a_blonde]

Well both of my budgies were clipped when they first came to me (because I got them from uncle bills) but Shawn is my oldest budgie I am guessing because he is a pro at flying and grew back his feathers faster than Gus. Gus though is NOT a pro at flying and sometimes runs into walls. I have a bed that has a ledge and before I lined the bed with blankets (btw I cover all the furniture that they could get stuck behind) Gus was flying around the room and got on one of the ledges, I offered him an extra perch but he wouldn’t go on (this was before he was perch trained) and so he fell into the crack! I used my robe in between the bed and the wall and gently moved him out (he hasn’t had one of those incidents cense).

[@2_birds-and-a_blonde]

Shawn is the most trusting, though both of them trust me he loves to get on my shoulder and move up and down my arm. But sometimes I do have to give him millet to get on.

Hello! I love watching your videos and I have watched a lot of your videos and they are a great help to me on expanding my knowledge of budgies. I am getting a budgie soon In around 1 1/2 months and I am looking at the budgie with the yellow head and wings and green and blue stomach! What type of budgie is he/she? I am interested in it ! and also could you recommend a cage large enough to suit 2 budgies comfortably?

[@leighann5308]

Thanks your vids are the best on YT hands down. I just rescued a budgie I have no idea how old he is and being a recessive mostly white pied no bars. I’m having a hard time taming this one compared to my young ones Ive owned in the past. I’ve had Cloud 6 days he will eat the millet when I hold it in his cage near his perch, I believe you said not to let him out until he knows how to step up right? He is fully flighted which makes it harder to tame. I just bought a new vision cage that you have, Ive tried to put it together the directions are horrible. Can you please make a step by step video putting the vision cage together. I would be so grateful 🙏🏻

[@Bird-Nuggets]

Hi Leigh, First of all, patience is key and keep on taming Cloud while he's inside the cage. It's best not to let him out before he's tamed, otherwise you might have to grab him as he won't really know how to step up and get inside the cage that way. About the Vision cage, I found this video that could hopefully help you assemble it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fmiXY5SOoJ6hidk Good luck! 🖤

I have a budgie and have had him for about a month, but it's taking longer than I thought to tame him. My other budgie is already tamed even though I got him one week after my first one. I let my tamed bird out every day but am too scared to let my untamed bird out because he flies quick and fast. They have a big castle-shaped cage with many and many toys plus a variety of food. I also keep the cage in the nature-themed area of my house where sunlight is 24/7 and surrounded by plants and pictures of forests. Is it okay for me to keep my bird in its cage while I'm still trying to get him to at least learn to step up onto my finger?

[@Wwasgud]

Yes, Every bird is different so don’t compare 😇also some videos also say teaching your bird to step up on your finger is recommended before letting it out of it’s cage. And i love your background forest theme🤩

[@Raymiwrites]

@@Wwasgud thank you, though he only steps up when he wants. We began letting him out of the cage months ago. Now he knows the entire map of the house and flies all over the place, he dosent like being touched but when he's in the mood or in a new environment, he will step onto my finger. (BTW my other bird Mangoe, the one I was comparing him with died. But it's okay beacuse I got him a new friend, and she's super tamed)

My grandparents bought 2 budgies and 1 cage. The cage itself was small, and to make it worse, they bought the birds just for decoration. When I came over to my grandmas house, I took the birds into my room for some attention. Those birds don't have any toys, and live with just a small hanging perch in their cage. They NEVER cleaned the cage, so when I saved them, i actually did research and im trying to actually help the poor birds. My grandparents are telling me that I'm being annoying or caring for them too much, but I just want them to live the best life they can. On one occasion, my grandpa blew a huge puff of smoke indoors where the birds were. As I was moving the birds away from the smoke, my grandpa looked at me and said,"What are you doing?" And when I explained it to him he said,"Well what about when a wildfire happens in nature?!??!?" I'm just so annoyed that they don't even care at all for these innocent creature 😞.

[@bahaaeddinabbara]

Hey I have a question how can I let my bird out if it’s not trained and they are scared of me every time I open their cage they get scared and refused to come out even if I give them treats they steal be scared of me I had them for a month now and Always tried to train them but nothing worked So how do I make my bird out his cage if Tho it’s not trained well well a playground work?

just put your finger in the cage and stay still every day for about 5 minutes, maybe longer, Bird Nuggets made an video about this 😊

[@aliciagonzalez121]

I do some of these mistakes but it's because there not trained. I can't take them out of there cage because the would just fly out and be lost or get out of control. And I can't clean there cage because if I put my hand in there cage, they would get out of control and bite and poop everywhere, and I've been looking for videos on how to train your bird inside there cage but there would never be any results.

[@Barakon]

so it's being poor, being loud, being nocturnal and having little to no space for a cage, not knowing to deal with their curiousty & being frustrated, & continuing the cycle of abuse. It is also listening to a boomer's idea of animals & letting them scare you out of your better judgement regardless of the fact they meant well & being desperate for your bird's affection & hope it has opened up to you. Thankfully I never punished my birds, but they were in my bedroom & I didn't have enough money for a vet...

i find having a bird lot like having a kids you can give em a lvoign home or not, you can be poor and still love and give them affection, truthfully i have umbrella cockatoo other tehn thing sto chew on he has tons of toys. just love him. give em as much time as you can most people dont have time anyway so you giving them some is better then none if espcialy if they are rescue that cant be around other birds, bird proof lving room , check it regular , do the best you can do and love em, my bird has a cage just incase to protect him while im cleaning but realisty the whole living room is been adjusted to him so hes free to move around do as he pleases fly back and forth . also you can fuck up ive fucked up so many times with my umbrella cockatoo and he still forgives me. Each bird is different. each bird has different personality, you have to learn them and thats the biggest pros and cons to resuce vs new bird. Rescue you know personality from rescue but may not know historyand may have problems. Baby you can feed them right from get go and teacht them but you wont know their personailty,. also its like dealing iwth a toddler, Birds are complex each one is complex personailty, these videos really overly simply a complex being that is lessa pet and a terrible pet and can be a wonderful companion if you treat them respect as you would someone else. unfortuantly most people are stupid and pieces of shit. Im told having an umbrella cockatoo is the most difficult parrot to have, my friend has one too. WE both agree bird experts kinda jsut suck, and you just gott love respect, as far as anything else you can fuck up and bird will be fine cuz Birds do understand in a way the effort you put foward. they are stupid little shits, but smart enough. Smart enough to get their dumbasses into trouble thats why i have my little retard on a leash when we go out cuz he will let a cat eat him the stupid little fucker. does not know how fucking lucky he is i want to let him off but cant jesus fucking christ a eagle, hawk, gooose, fuckign everything want sto fuck up or eat my guy its why i have the leash. like seriously whoever said its horrible tohave parrots as pets is a moron!, im like ivesaved this guy like 5 or 7 times thankfully because of having a leash , and one time because i got between him and the eagle since leash isnt always enough. but do you know what eagle talons are like several feeet from your face,!? a blur thats what they look like a blur cuz that shit goes down FAST AS FUCK. ever see the 115 year old parrot no feathers they could not live that long in the wild. being unable to fly or keeep themselves warm throught the cold season yes there are lots of cons and less of a regular bird life but they dont have to contend with nature either which hey neither do us humans thankfully. con is bird doesnt have a normal regular bird life and get to have all of what life could offer for them in the wild, the pro is they dont have all the many many shitty sad horrrible ways they can die in the wild, and they can live a longer life thats also happier, if they dont have a piece of shit human.

Luckily, I cleaned the water bucket everyday and replaced the water because it kept getting dirty. I kept it there, I also put a feeding rack for it. just in case. i may have overtamed it because it starts calling for me when i exit it’s room. R.I.P. Bubbles (You will be missed)

3 months ago just 2 days I need to grab him for gave his medicine. He was very sick. I never did anything else in this video. I love him so much and giving attention every day. But since he came he never liked me or another person in the house. I bought him toys, gives attention every day, cleaning his cage every 2 days, changing water every day, letting him out almost all day long. I don't know what to do now. He looks unhappy and so scared of me. Whenever I near on him he's starting to panic. I never hold him at my finger. When I went near to him he's flying and getting away from me. When I put my hand on his cage he's screaming like I am doing anything to him. I never did of course. He never eat treats in my hand. He's never sings during the day. When he's eating his food he's getting so nervous and cheking around every second. I'ts been 3 month. This situation makes me so freaking sad. I tried everything but it never worked. All I wanted is not taking on my finger or letting him be petted. I just want my bird be happy and feeling comfy near me, not be shaking I went near him or talked to him. What can I do for it. I asked vet and petshops they always said i'ts gets used to you over time. Well that time has passed. I'ts getting worse and worse every day. I want him to be normal bird. Not living with fear. If you answer me and there' still something I can do I will be so much happy. I love my budgie so so much. @Bird-Nuggets

While I agree in most cases you are correct, but in some cases you can use certain types of reinforcement to sway your Parrot away from said unwanted behaviors, and this usually only works for CERTAIN types of parrots. For example. You own an African Grey (a HIGHLY intelligent parrot). Let's say you don't want it to do XYZ because the behavior is potentially harmful to itself and/or it's highly destructive in general which could cost you lots of money in repair/replacement. In those situations I would just tell the bird No right when it's doing the behavior, and then I would put the Parrot in it's cage for 1 hour, then take it back out again. Another big thing is to give it lots of love and pets / positive reinforcement when it is NOT doing the behavior. Then repeat this ad nauseum until it finally learns to not do XYZ. This can work but it takes a LONG time - and it takes patience - and I would only do this for only extreme behaviors that again would pose it self harm or end up costing you a fortune in repairs. For smaller breeds of parrots that's a tough one - since not all of them are intelligent enough like Grey's to easily learn from simple reinforcement modification behavior techniques like that. In those cases you can try getting it different kinds of toys to distract it from those behaviors for them - or you must find ways to work around the issue that do not involve the Parrot/Parrotlet directly. Big Caveat: If the parrot is plucking it's own feathers out - You need to take your Pet to a Vet ASAP - as they can have an underlying medical issue - and it may take time and MULTIPLE vet visits for that behavior to be corrected. In some cases it may never be corrected (which is sad - but those are rare - and at the very least you have ruled out anything medical by taking it to the vet!). When it comes to "how good of an owner" I am. I know I am not the best owner out there - hands down. That being said though - I love my African Grey like a family member. I am thankful to have him in my life. However I will admit there are some days where I am just so busy I do not have time to give him the attention he deserves - and some days he will go most of the day without my interaction. However on the days I do have extra time I always try to make up for that by giving him as much attention as possible :) I've been told to not let the parrots hang out and relax on my shoulders - but I do this frequently - especially if it's during a time when I want to play some games on my PC. So I'll just be gaming on my PC and my parrots will be chilling out on my shoulders - and I'll be petting them at moments where the game does not need my attention. Speaking of which I need to go give them some pets and put them to bed right now. Cheers and GL everyone. Remember none of us are perfect - just do the best you can when you can, show your pets love and affection and always let them know that they are in your hearts - and they will understand on some basic level (I hope) when there are days you cannot do everything 100%.
