[@leonardoseg6367]

Yes it is

[@soph3235]

Yes but it isn’t good for birds either because they aren’t supposed to have distilled water

NEMO IS ADORABLE WHEN HE ROLLS OVER LIKE THAT ITS SO CUTE! Also my grandfather has a lutino cockstiel I think idk, it’s a combination with a male normal gray and an albino and he LITTERLY hangs upside down! When we got him I’m was like “ OMG HE IS ADORABLE“.

[@Pr3ttyface.nailyn]

Elle what kind of bird I should get because I’m new being a pet owner

[@Luv.Gracee]

I’d say, maybe do research on different birds and see what one fits your life style! If your looking for a chill bird I’d say a cockatiel, they like to cuddle and very gentle (depends in their personality)If you want more of a hyper bird that’s smaller maybe a budgie! But I’d recommend doing research on the bird you want or birds in general:)

[@Khanstores]

i love you. you are the best. you give grate advice about birds. and you show the best triks to teach your birds.

[@Dragon_Carno]

I have two birds in the same cage and one of them are blue and the other green and I got a small cage should I get a bigger? Btw they are budgies

[@lizziehn5928]

I'd suggest one at least 27x24 inches or so, as this provides plenty of room for them to play and roam about. If money is tight, you may want to check out second-hand cages that have already been used - they tend to be much cheaper!

so i really want a green cheeck conure and after some research i found that there are no rescues near me and i need some advice on where to get one

[@lizziehn5928]

Maybe you could try and find some conure breeders? If you're in the US or Canada, I've got a pretty complete list of breeders in my channel description :)

[@anjalichoudhary3388]

Can you pls give me some tips for taming budgies as I got two last week but they don't want to come out of their cage pls reply

[@zaira4514]

There's a video for that :)

[@lizziehn5928]

Patience, positive reinforcement, and personal space will be your three keys to success! Patience - Not everything will go according to plan at first, but that's okay! Birds (especially small prey species) will take time to trust humans. Don't give up! Positive reinforcement - Be sure to reward your bird with praise or treats if they make progress! This can include when they're calm, if they come up to you, or if they land on you in a desired location. Millet can work pretty well as a treat, just make sure they don't have much of it in their normal diet. Personal space - While you don't want to give up, you WILL want to respect your bird's wishes through it's body language. If it doesn't want to be touched, don't touch it. If it doesn't want to interact, pause on the interaction for a bit. This will help prevent you from getting bitten and your bird from stressing out much further. For specific activities, you can try out... * Different forms of training (target and/or clicker) * Talking or singing to your bird * Making food or toys around your bird * Offering occasional treats * Generally hanging out and carrying on normal life. * Get on their level (literally!) by kneeling or sitting on the floor! * Move slowly, freeze, or back off when you see your bird getting a bit overwhelmed. Best of luck taming your birdie friend!

[@lily.simons8247]

hii im wondering can small parots and conurs go in the same aviary as budgies

[@lizziehn5928]

Depends on the size of the aviary, but typically they don't tend to do super well together - budgies have a habit of bullying or roughly playing with other birds.

So i'm getting a bird around Christmas and idk what to choose: Conure or cockatiel??

[@birbfriends7705]

I love both of them very much.. Can't choose 😶

[@Luv.Gracee]

It all depends on your life style! Cockatiels do tend to be more quiet than conures,I’d do research do see what one fits you better!

[@lilith0886]

I guess I'll try to train my tiel to fetch for now 😂 She can already spin and I'm super proud of her, fetch doesn't seem difficult 😊 I was hoping for roll but yeah, she hates laying on her back 😅 Greetings from Poland 😊

[@S1mpleth1ngz]

elle, how do you get a cockatiel back in his cage?

[@Silly_worm1029]

I’m hoping to get a cockatiel and Elle is amazing help

[@dreamer4038]

If your bird knows how to step up then it would be as easy as anything and if it's not then take a perch or a ladder or anything that your bird likes to sit on and place it in front of him and make him sit on it and then slowly take him back to the cage. This trick works every time even for an untamed cockatiel without even stressing him. I hoped I could help you😃

[@coffeenair]

If they absolutely refuse to get out make the room dark and put them back in carefully

[@coffeenair]

They really can’t see well in the dark

[@ParakeetWorld]

@@coffeenair Yes, but thats the last thing you do. Usually they go in themselves, so its fine. They will go in for food eventually, plus you can also use treats to lead them in.

[@Lil_Indyy]

Does this work with a cockatiel bc I have one

[@lizziehn5928]

Cockatiels tend not to enjoy being on their backs like conures or other birds, but with enough patience it might be worth a shot.

[@roselynnanuska4916]

yall this girl was waiting for more vids awesome and yay more vids

[@ynnuFgnihtemoS]

hey i was wondering if anybody knows any good books for research on domesticated birds

[@lizziehn5928]

A lot of books aren't super great since they can't easily be updated, anything more than five years old is often out of date. However, there's a great book called "Budgierigar, How a brave, chatty, and colorful little Aussie bird stole the world's heart" that I was fortunate to come across recently. It covers the history of budgies in captivity, not so much the care aspect, but it's still worth a read.

[@sabahaulabi2276]

i love all your videos so much but im worried about something... If i get a kabob toy wont the Birds peel them off then swallow them? Hopefully you answer or someone else!

[@cheeseburger3519]

whenever i try to get my bird to step up, she just backs away and hides, please, any help?

[@natashagrace4474]

You can try by starving the bird for 1-2 hours, then offer it millet to step up

[@dreamer4038]

Train her everyday for one to two times by offering her millet. Do not force her to step up. Let her do it by herself. I taught my 4 cockatiels to step up in the same way I hope I could help😃

[@lizziehn5928]

@@natashagrace4474 Starving a bird is not very healthy at all, as they have a very fast metabolism compared to ours and can get sick real easily if deprived of food. It's better to use their eating times to our advantage and begin training before they have their morning munch.

[@ParakeetWorld]

@@natashagrace4474 Nope, that is terrible. Do not do that please.

Go slower. Stay at their pace, dont go with the hands yet, maybe just get him comfortable with you outside of the cage

Really depends on the bird! Some may take longer to trust you, while others can trust you right away. As for clipping, it really isn't great for any parrot unless recommended by a vet D: The cons far outweigh the possible pros.

A lot of cockatiels will do this naturally to show off or balance, but I began training "wings" when they stretch! Particularly when they do that double wing stretch rather than one at a time. Basically just clicking and rewarding when they do that aha
