I'm glad you really care about your birds! They are such wonderful feathered babies.

Some great toy suggestions. Olive is adorable, sliding around on the perches, checking everything out

Since filming she absolutely LOVES her new house! 😍

[@thetimeofourlives6223]

I love your videos so much! They give me so much good information! My only issue is watching them with my birds in the room is difficult as they hear the birds in the background and end up screaming along :/ Only way i can watch is with headphones which I don’t love but its worth the great info. Overall, love your content!

[@BirdNerdSophie]

Thanks for watching! Unfortunately it’s one of the realities of living with birds - they aren’t going to be quiet just because I’m filming 😅

[@RCBirds]

Great informations and just in time. Chuck gets his new cage in the next weeks. Thanks for this video👍

[@BirdNerdSophie]

That’s awesome! I hope Chuck likes it!

[@RCBirds]

@@BirdNerdSophie I hope so, too. He has only three directions in the cage. Left for drinking. He uses now his second seed bowl in the bidgie cage, we putted in there to minimize his raiding on the budgie food. Right to his sleeping perch. And down to the bottom foraging the substrate for sunflower seeds. The budgies use their cage multiple times over the day, but Chucks likes to be outside the whole day. A new cage is kind of building a house in which the bedroom is bigger than all the other rooms together. I'll keep you informed😉

[@jayneliou]

Is that a kings cage? If so what's the size? what do you like/dislike about it? And can you change out the food cup holder

[@BirdNerdSophie]

It’s a rainforest cage! My boyfriend did a video on our likes and dislikes which you might find useful! kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5m7eaCVicijgrs

Super video. Love the fact you got a foraging wheel, mine love theirs. I have one wooden dowel too in my conure's cage, under her food bowls, but have drilled holes through so can hide treats or hang toys.

What food do you put in foraging wheel? Besides paper what can you use in it?

[@BirdNerdSophie]

Usually some seeds or their dry mix! You can use cardboard, substrate or just the seeds if they are finding it hard to use!

Hi Sophie and David, can you please advise me on a good perch to help with nails and small beaks. I'm so confused with sand perches ect. Thank you x

How did u find the foraging wheel I've been looking a few different option for reusable foraging toys at scarletts and also northern parrots keep seing loads off negative comments about most off the ones I've I looked at have seen people say the foraging wheel breaks easy due to the plastic mount attachment

[@BirdNerdSophie]

it's been fine! No problem with breakages but you do have to teach them how to use it!

Hello Sophie! I'm Vitor Hugo from Portugal. I would like to ask you if you have some technique to put your bird inside the cage, after a little time outside. Mine don't like go to the cage so bites me always! So a don't let him go out more because is painful put them again inside.

i was wondering if you had any advice for a birds first time out of the cage? i have budgies and am trying to introduce them to the rest of the room, but they always freak out and never know how to get back inside their cage.

[@BirdNerdSophie]

Target train your bird through the cage bars first so that you can interact with them and guide them back in afterwards :)

[@kairistarwynn2829]

should conures be caged separately? i assumed so, but im not entirely sure. also, what is the best cage size for a green cheek?

[@BirdNerdSophie]

If they are bonded to another green cheek then they can be housed together 😊 and the best cage is the biggest that you can afford!

[@kairistarwynn2829]

@@BirdNerdSophie okay awesome! i eventually want to get one or two, but that’s not gonna be for another few years because my mom says i’m not allowed to get any more birds while living with her lol

[@gyno123]

is 2.2 cm bar spacing ok for a green cheek conure?

[@BirdNerdSophie]

It’s a bit too big for most green cheeked conures! 1.5cm is usually recommended!

[@NancyRutland]

(My sun conures), I’ve had several--But learned quickly I couldn’t do that with green cheeks. I might like to get other breeds, but am afraid they may have personalities I’m not wanting. Yes, I realize it was my fault the green cheeks got inside the wall-(never did find how- both times had to hire a carpenter to get them out & repair the hole he made). It’s just my home is super safe & had sun conures 40 years with no problem.

Hello! im gettin 2 cockatiels and never owned a bird before, but my grandma at a garage sale picked up a very large cage, the bars are pretty spaced apart and im worried about my babies heads getting stuck or them getting out at night with out supervision. im thinking of putting spaced mesh on the inside (hotglued and pulled tightly so they dont get tangled up) but before i do and before i get the bird, is that the best way to go about it, getting a new cage is not an option, so i need some help here. if putting mesh isnt safe for them someone please tell me what else i can do

[@BirdNerdSophie]

If you aregoing to use mesh, make sure the metal is safe, and use cable ties rather than glue! birdtricksstore.com/blogs/birdtricks-blog/safe-metals-for-parrots

[@candicet5973]

Nice tips! Ah yes, the birb kabob. We got some from Amazon and they are coming in a month but I am pretty sure that the birds are going to destroy and love em! Oh that looks fun! Crinkle paper is one of Fluffy's favorite toy parts! Cool! Both Maya and Fluffy has platform perches but for some reason they like to chew the sides of it, hope Olive likes it just as much as Maya and Fluff Fluff Oh yeah, the foraging wheel. Fluffy used to have it in his cage and I put sesame in there, but he didn't mind it at all so we just removed it and put a shredding toy in it's place I think that's paper party? We also got that in Amazon and I'm so excited to see what Fluffy thinks! We are going to put that in Fluffy's cage Oh interesting! I never thought of using plastic tubs for foraging! I normally think that they get more bacteria growth in it but it turns out u can use it! Nice! Is that the toy that is in the boys' cage? I feel that I saw it before.... Btw, I think that the circular pieces are made of corn husk Oh the calcium perch! We bought that too and I want to give it to Maya because her nails are getting long and she won't allow me to trim them. She has a sanding ladder but she doesn't use it so maybe this will be nicer for her and it has calcium which could help because she doesn't like chewing on cuttlefish I saw that toy in the elleandthebirds video! It looks really fun! Hope Olive enjoys it! Never seen that one before, but it looks really fun and shreddable. I think Olive and the others are going to love it 😃 Nice! I tried to make a veggie kabob for Maya but she didn't eat it and that ants came so we had to remove it Oh I seen that toy before! It looks really fun! I tried copying it in diy toys by using cupcake cases and tasels but Maya destroyed it lol Nice set up! Great video! Noisy birbs 😃! Liked!

[@BirdNerdSophie]

Crinkle paper is loved by all of our birds! Yes you can us plastic pots for foraging or foot toys! Adds a different dimension to the cage! Yes the boys have had this toy before! The birds are always noisy when we are filming lol! Would love to move somewhere where we can have a filming room but we can't afford to yet! Thanks for watching!

[@sarahcline8488]

I hope you guys don't mind this question since it's about a conure not his cage. I was wondering if you guys have tips on how to build a bond with a conure. I know I can't touch him now since I got him Friday. But once he seems ready if you have tips I'd love to hear from you guys
