How to Choose and Prepare for a Pet Bird! Everything you should know!

[@hatz5125]

Me: doesn't want a bird Also me: clicks on video

[@Lroselovely88]

Yeah, come for the reptiles... Stay for the Tyler. That's my experience, at least. He and Maddie are the best.

[@wahs_h10]

I have a 10 month old Yellow Sided Green Cheek Conure and she is the love of my life! We spend 10+ hours a day together. She loves to hang out on my shoulder and sunggle into my neck. I couldn't imagine life without her😊

[@keianna5106]

I have a 2 1/2-year-old green cheek and when were not sleeping or i'm not away she is always with me... a bit of a brat but love her to death, so I get how you feel

[@anxieteaplushbee]

I have an 11 month old white fronted amazon and he’s also a bit of a brat. Well, at least big enough of a brat that he would rather walk all over me or sit extremely close to my face so he can try to chew on my face.... and if I ever try to cuddle or pet him he usually doesn’t like it unless he’s tired or actually starts rubbing against my hand for me to pet him. He requires much more patience at times, but despite all that I love him to bits! After all, who wouldn’t want a tiny toddler who welcomes you in the morning with a playful “peek-a-boo!” Every morning!

[@danicahannaford737]

I have a 9 year old rescued goffin, I’ve know him for over a year and he is bonded to me. He is still in a foster house but in I couple months I think I can finally bring him home. The thought of him finally with me brings tears of joy to my eyes

[@umar7632]

@@danicahannaford737 I hope you'll get to bring him home soon!! 💖💖💕💕🥺🥺

[@Psittacine23]

Wish I lived near a bird store like that ❤️

[@ariannasantina]

same. The only true bird-focused store is the Bird Supply of New Hampshire (that also breeds and sources pet birds) but it is an hour away from where i am. I end up at petco/petsmart or small pet stores and they never have much to choose from for birds. (tho honestly better luck at the smaller local pet stores than the chain stores...)

[@arbyss8497]

You do it’s called amazon

[@ethanquigley11507]

@Sofinotrfound Omg lol

Great job April! Very knowledgeable! 👏🏼👏🏼

[@LadyVader]

Maddie, I'd love to see what results you'd get on the My Right Bird quiz!

[@Garett6]

OMG That is the place my wife and I got our cages last year. We have finches, canaries, parakeets, and a cockatiel. We are really happy with the cages. Funny thing, we are also looking to get a parolette as our next pet. Good luck. We'll be watching your story and see how it goes for you and if it's right for us.

[@citrusomorashi60]

Gary Messel How much do you generally spend on the cage and the things inside? (Not including food)

[@animshack3775]

You have such pretty eyes.

[@tylerrugge]

Thank you 🥺

[@Mikagow]

Mango is looking down on you from heaven, smiling. I bet hes so happy you're living your best life and that you can give another smol feathered friend a great home like he had. I'm so happy you're getting another small bird ❤ love and cherish that little bean

[@kfendi1771]

i’d love a bird but i already have so many pets and also i’m not ready for that type of long time commitment i have a chinchilla nd they live ab 15-20 years but a lot of birds can live double or triple that. i love watching videos ab birds tho 🥺🤍.

[@pixels4331]

Most Chinchillas live to be 10-15 years.

[@jenc7614]

I hope you have two chinchillas !

[@Fartleks]

There are birds that live 20 years like a canary

[@its_coach_julie]

I recommend a budgie they Usually only live up to 15 years

[@aayushrana5812]

Some macaws can quintuple times 20 years which is 100 years

[@katiehickton8711]

This is an very interesting video I wish I had a local bird store. She was amazing with all that information

[@toxicx7975]

I actually want a parrotlet and I've wanted one for a year. I'm finally getting one so this was very helpful.

[@sadierae9428]

i’m so glad you uploaded this video. i just got a baby lovebird 2 days ago!

[@LadyVader]

I have a lovebird, they are absolutely wonderful! I've had my boy for 7 months and we're working on his recall, he's so smart and so sweet and energetic!

[@cathy2142]

Tyler you did so well in this video! I really liked the interview format and I thought you were a gracious interviewer.

[@sherrysbooks]

My dream bird is a hyacinth macaw. I absolutely fell in love with one at our zoo when I was little because it actually said "hi" back. They're gorgeous.

[@Bugaboothesinner]

I use to have parakeets but when I had my son I realized I wouldn’t be able to spend as much time with them as I use to so I rehomed them, it’s nice seeing all the people in the comments knowing it’s the responsible thing to watch videos like this and know what’s right for the animal and yourself

[@birdbrain3594]

Sadly, before I got my Goffin all I had was Petsmart in my city. So, I got most of my information by calling breeders, pet stores, and doing research online. Thankfully, only a year after rescuing Cheeky, I found an amazing bird sitter bear me. Shortly after, the awesome bird whisperer opened his own pet store! I actually carry cards for the store and hand them to people that ask me about birds. 🕊🦜Thanks Tyler, for promoting local bird stores- Petsmart is fairly useless haha.

[@therealjill1197]

I’ve never seen a store with so much bird stuff!!! I have the clear travel cage with the green handle for my ringneck. It’s pretty awesome, but a little heavy.

[@melaniedack4615]

I love April! I’m in there every week! Thank you for helping to educate people about the proper way to care for a bird!! 😊😊

[@bluelinemorphs]

Just found your channel and I love it ! It’s channels like this that inspired me to make one !

[@tylerrugge]

Thank you!

[@jacquelineduarte]

Can you do a video about the right toys for a parakeet? That would really helpful

[@anthonygamez2206]

Hey! I don't want to market off of tylers video or get clout from his video but I wanted to help you out so will be doing a video on this very soon, If you care :) (I just want to make sure everyone's birds have the best care and things)

[@thekiofki216]

This is a great video. Very knowledgeable. Probably the most info I've gotten on birds in my years of binging.

[@potatoscoop]

my cockatiel is very close with me, and is always a little unsure at first with new people but within a few minutes usually is completely fine and jumping on them for attention. i noticed that with some small kids she is very nervous though.

[@juliaermert2948]

Wow this shop is amazing, I wish we had something like that in germany

[@jacquelineduarte]

I just got a bigger cage for my parakeets and thank God too cause they needed a cage the one they had before was tiny but I got a bigger one and they love it I can tell. It just looks a little empty all they have is a hoop swing, a mirror with beads, a little bowl with water (they love bathing in it) and of course their food and water.

[@okinopolis]

Really appreciate your sharing this very helpful video and those links. Thank you!

[@joyavenzant5086]

Cant wait to get my cockatiel soon so excited the test said a parrotlet though lol

[@daratheresa]

Been having trouble deciding what type of bird I want, nothing seems quite right but I have my heart set on finding the best one ;-;

[@aliciajolley519]

This was filmed in your old house, wasn’t it? 😂

[@tylerrugge]

Yes it was! Lol

[@alimery07]

Tyler Rugge why did you film it in your old house

[@aliciajolley519]

Ali-Mery’s Reptiles: It was before he moved! Videos take a while to edit, and I’m sure he’s been extremely busy so he probably hasn’t had time. It was probably filmed a few weeks back.

[@suryaravi2328]

I got my bird from chirping friends. I love it out of all the birds I have had he was the nicest from the get go. So your in good hands

[@MotherOfWednesday]

Could a double critter nation cage be used for a bird if all the levels were removed? The dimensions would be 48" tall, 36" wide, 24" deep with 1/2" horizontal bar spacing.

[@fallondown5343]

“If you live in Michigan come check it out” Sad yooper noises

[@ahabby5513]

Awe...I just love this video Tyler! Thank you so much! How cute are those little baby birds?!

[@loura246]

I hope to one day be able to work with rescue birds, but I think if I were to own a personal pet birds I would probably go for a smaller species for space reasons.

[@melissasmiglewski385]

Love Chirping Friends. Got my birds there and take them back for grooming. Awesome store, great staff. I ❤ April

[@hannybianchiny8974]

You have such a nice channel.

[@tammyrockman2633]

I got matched with a parrotletwhich is a bird I have thought I would like. I also had a cocktail for 10 years and loved him so much he was a fun friend.

[@brekke668]

This was an excellent video. I have had birds since I was a child and used to breed budgies, cockatiels, lovebirds, parrottes, linnies, Bourke parakeets and show English Budgies. It pisses me off the size cages that stores like PetSmart sells for small birds. Or the fact they are still selling the myth that seed is a healthy diet for parrots. A seed diet for budgies is why so many don't live to the full life they are supposed too. If you bought a bird from me I had to see the cage and I had to know that you had done your basic research if not I would not sell to you. Now if someone really wanted a bird and was willing to learn I would help them then if they could buy one.

[@tellxmebby1]

I always forget Tyler lives in the same area I do. I got a lot of my cockatiel's toys and perches from Chirping Friends lol.

[@Serenityy17]

Im Getting a sun conure soon...I did alot of research but what else should I know too?

[@Book_Neko]

I want to get a bird eventually so I took the quiz and I got a pacific parrotlet! I wasn't sure what they were and after doing my research it seems that it will be a good fit I will just have to keep it away from my cats (obviously). This video was helpful to me also.

Hey Tyler! I don’t think you’ll see this comment, but I have a question. Can you help me tame my bird? She hisses at me and I want to try to get her trust. Is there a set of steps or anything that you recommend? Please help me. Thank you!

Join a forum. They have very special needs when it comes to diet for example they do not well on most pellets. If you have an avian vet in your area make an appointment to talk how to care for one.

[@pixels4331]

@@rakinchowdhury194 People who say not to offer millet from your hand in the cage are incorrect. Budgies are one of the hardest species to tame. Start saying "Step up" every time you want them to perch with the millet. Only use one millet spray sporadically throughout the month, because even though the budgies love it, it's very unhealthy.

O just bought her a medium sized java tree play stand table top thing with branches and I put colorful bird toys on it and I know she will love it but she has got to warm up to it first she one year old and a big baby about things like her new 100$ plus java tree thing from a&e
