Hello how many birds do you have

[@sirajulislam514]

Hey house many birds are you have now? And Do you buy another ringneck? I know your Rio was died. Love you, and more love from India🇮🇳

Very interesting and informative!! I love kakarikis, they seem so fun to watch. Although it seems that they are too active for me! :D

[@tinazebicmatijas9137]

I love your videos! :)

[@moth-t3t]

Please Read! If you are going to get a kakariki please do focus on the heart disease section. This is very true. My kakariki was a present. I hadn't researched for it. I researched for a budgie. My kakariki then didn't get the right treatment because there isn't much information online. This is a great video! And helped me understand about my old bird a lot! Thank you so much for clearing this up! It has made me settle from his death! Your amazing love of pets!

In my opinion when they are hormonal, they are little demons😂😈

[@pwnytail]

I absolutely love these videos you do about these smaller, lesser known birds!! You've really piqued my curiosity as to what kinds of birds would be most ideal for my future aviary. Thank you so much for these videos!!

[@deathtoluke]

ka-ka-ree-kee. Not only does it mean little parrot but it also means green.

[@peanutbutterbean1738]

ive recently gotten one as i woke up one morning and it was just in my house, as i live in south africa i knew it was a pet, i did all i could to try find the original owner and nothing, so i decided i was going to keep it and this will help a lot to keep charlie happy for as long as possible, thank you

[@leahangel2949]

Everything you said is 100% true!! We love our guy, but he is a super messy eater and BUSY! He's out of his cage whenever we're home because he needs to roam around and yes, get into everything! Eats the edge of books and magazines, chews on the edge of wood cabinets or window sills, so we need to give a lot of soft wood or yucca chew toys. He is on a constant lookout for a girlfriend and regurgitates on anything shiny. He gets really possessive over certain objects and tries to bite our feet all the time :D

[@sadcat1861]

Hi I’m the third to comment yay btw I love u soooo much and I wanted to tell u that ur not like some ppl who take birds as a beautiful creatures to keep as living decor u take them and take good care of them that’s the best thing about u🙃like if u agree

[@meggann3712]

Awe I’m sorry about sizzle :( I recently lost my lovebird wasabi he was a Dutch blue and was only a couple months old. He also had passed away because of a heart condition. Btw l love your birds and your videos always make my day!!

[@Loveofpets]

Thank you, sorry for your loss 😓

[@andresamaya7350]

Wait so Kakarikis can chill with Cockatiels? They're not aggressive at all?

[@Cp6uja81]

Great video. In Serbian language they are called kozice which means little goats It is because of the sound that you described they make.

[@Laksilaks]

In danish they are called a Gedeparakit, which means Goatparakeet. :)

[@Cp6uja81]

@@Laksilaks wow, the same logic!

[@GraceT]

Still my favorite bird so far. They're so weird, but I can't get over their adorable noises they make. I finally managed to find someone who has hand fed cream and blue kakarikis, so now I'm getting two more to add to my flock soon ❤️

[@Loveofpets]

I love their sounds. Congratulations on your new Kakarikis. Blues are so beautiful and so are the creams. I love the pied.

[@Loveofpets]

Congratulations! She sounds like a beautiful Kakariki

[@ilovepuns140]

I’m thinking of either getting a kakariki, a cockatiel or a lovebird. Also good video!

[@meganmiss5117]

I loved this video! Summer is adorable and reminds me of my Kakariki Ricky so much! They are like twins! I was wondering if Summer frequently does this bowing gesture in one spot for 30 seconds-1 minute when Kakariki’s “present” to their mates although there is no male kakariki around. I noticed my Kakariki does this often and at first I thought it might’ve been tail bobbing but after lots of tests and taking her to the vet she’s perfectly healthy. FYI - My Kakariki is 3 years old.

[@Podcastforthewin]

My kakariki is around 3 years old, and he is so smart, he talks all the time,but its very nice. I’m working on developing a better connection with him. We rescued buggies and he really loves listening to them talk alllll day

[@Fynn]

Thanks for the video, it helped me a lot when I was deciding on which bird to get! But, I gotta clarify one thing: nope, the female isn't loud at all. Sometimes, she would be loud very briefly, but usually she's doing cute little sounds. The male though... he IS loud. And he DOES continuous sounds all over again. In Germany, they're called "goat parakeets" because their sound kind of resembles the sound a goat makes. I call him my little goat machine gun LOL

[@TinyHam-qe3et]

I was gifted a couple of 1-year-olds a few days ago. I immediately had their nails done but the female (a lutino like yours!) Did NOT handle it well and I thought she'd been squeezed too tight or even broke her leg or something... I was so worried she wasn't going to make the night but thankfully she pulled through ❤

[@sharathyadav954]

Wow 😍 I love these species spotlight segments 💕 I'll get alot to learn & I enjoy it ✨ nice to know about kakarikis 💖👍🏻✨

[@shannonb4586]

My kakariki is currently sitting on my curtains... He's a crazy boy🤣

[@Areyousayingidontknowmyname]

Ive had mine for probably a year and half now. He is such a blessing. At times i think he has said words. Just not clear. But he is lucky he is alive. The part about the getting into everything. Well one of those was a door that shut behind me. Lost his bottom beak. Oh my was i beside myself. Lost the whole bottom beak. The vet was not hopeful. All he could suggest was to feed him wet food. He is such a smart bird. Was not keen on that so he started to eat from the spoon. Instead of me trying to syringe it in. Was not keen on that because i felt his top beak was getting undermined. So yea i make sure he has coffee ground seeds. But honestly i only do it just in case. Because he eats nearly everything like normal. Has a very strong tongue. I just have to make sure i cut his top beak back with a bit of a point. Been like that for 8mths probably. Never grew back. On the funny side though he has a romantic thing going with my little Turquoise. She is still with him.... Tobias the budgie is her side piece ;). But she has refused sexual activity with my Kakariki Since he cant do the throw up thing. haha. But recently she has started to let him. Its absolutely ridiculous as he is 3 times her size. Sorry this is long. Anyway not only is this Turk letting him, the budgie she has been trying to lure my female conure in on her debauched ways haha. No eggs yet so not even sure the Turk is a female.

[@Staruzz-66]

My Kakariki clicks his tongue a lot to objects and me😂 and bobs his head when he does that

[@GraceT]

I just brought my kakariki home yesterday! They're so funny. They eat everything and use their feet for everything

[@Loveofpets]

Congratulations! They sure are cute and entertaining birds.

[@SallyAlexandriaAlexParakeets]

Cute. Happy holidays from our channel: Australian Parakeets Stars

[@Sylvelourie]

I love kakarikis! The sounds they make are so distinct and honestly I'm not sure I would be okay with hearing that all the time. I'm sure their activity level might be a little much for me, too. I actually have 4 bourkes and your videos really helped me a lot with figuring out what birds were right for me. I started off with just 2 but quickly realized I'd made the right choice, so about a year later I added 2 more to the flock! Now I have 3 lovely extroverted boys and 1 adorable introverted girl. :) I always enjoy your videos and admire how you manage to keep so many pets happy and healthy! I feel like 4 birds is a lot for me! :D

[@christiesilva6918]

Sorry another question, do they get alot with cockatiels,? my female cockatiel is very jealous, shes sad when she sees the kakariki on me....what can i do?Thanks

[@lunashadow9942]

Notice how she said "some" seed (when telling about what they eat). Their diets should includes lots of (bird-safe) veggies and some fruit!

[@patsoccer010]

I love kakarikis I have a kakariki (green and red), a cockatiel (yellow and orange) and 2 white Indian ring necks

[@yumichoi7372]

Hi😉

[@stonemuzza8311]

Do you have any information about keeping kakarikis with other birds, if they can and what other parrots can be housed in the same cage with one

[@jase123111]

I would never house different kinds of parrot or other bird in the same cage...that will end in disaster. If you have a large aviary you can mix budgies, zebra Finches or cockatiels with kakariki.

[@msminx_]

just saying that Māori is pronounced maldy

[@NorthernParrots]

Interesting

[@markjoseph7086]

There are so many things you are teaching me so many things about them that I didn’t know!

[@salomebisson4167]

A little hello from France ! I love your videos, I'd love to have a bird and looking at all your videos is helping make my choice, thought not for now since I live in a little flat but my dream would be to have a room like yours ! Seems like paradise for me ahah. I would probably go for Lennies or Kakarikis I was wondering how long do you spend with them everyday ? Do you like just sit in your bird room ?

[@hendrinakunneke282]

If got pair of kakkerietjie but they always have just 1 baby why

[@dlnrlrosemary7777]

I just received a turquoise kakariki for my birthday. We’ve always had birds growing up and it’s a passion of mine now in adulthood. I have two Indian ringnecks as well. One I personally raised from 3 weeks old. They are kept in a separate rooms though so no worries. I have the opportunity to have a mate for my kakariki but I really enjoy pet birds. I’m told it’s better for them to have a mate. If that is the case I would do it for him, happily. Does anyone have an opinion to share on whether they are better off paired, or would be just as happy single as a pet?

[@robert.rt1]

Is it a problem if kakarikis stay alone in the cage? Because my kakariki started biting his neck.

[@preatore]

In Hungary, we call them goat parrot. 🦜❤️

[@pengudatu]

I have a really important question! My kakariki had a tail feather pulled out by my Conure, after that he seemed fine, but today i went to pick my kakariki up as he cant fly and he lost 4 tail feathers as he slid out my hand His name is red, hes not yet tame either but this concerned me greatly ♡

[@Loveofpets]

Hi, the feathers will grow back unless he has a disease like beak and feathers disease etc. Sometimes with stress and handling the bird the feathers will fall out as a defense mechanism. Let him sit on your hand and avoid holding him in your hand as they don't like it and you could damage the feathers.

[@Shuja_Khyber]

The Best Birds! I had a Male Kakariki, and he was so well bonded with my Family! It was literally as if he was a Human a because he understood me and he understood my family. He knew he was a part of the family, and he knew his name very well (Kaka). Sadly his lifespan was short he was 4 years of age and he passed away in an accident. I miss him very much... The most Curious, Mischievous Birds: Kakariki!

I would LOVE to have a bird like that!!! They’re so pretty. Super fun name as well.

[@alinalbelieber]

I have 2 :) they Are super curious!!! But they get bored quickly and you have to give them A LOT of freeflight. But since they can get tame and are interested in everyting, even our trash, its fun to watch them. With kakaraki it never gets Boring lemme tell you. But they dont get like 100% tame.. i know a lot of ppl who have them

Interesting you can't keep them as pets in New Zealand but can in the rest of the world 🤷‍♂️ speaking from a New Zealander

[@Loveofpets]

Its very interesting. I see my native birds as pets in other parts of the world and find it interesting. I think hey, why do they have pet sparrows or starlings, they should be loose here but then I see it as I have birds from other sides of the world, lol. Sometimes I think they should not be pets at all and all live in their native land flying free.

I miss my little blue kakariki so much. Sammy was a beautiful little girl who we only had for a year or so. She laid a couple of eggs but it was just too much for her. The third egg got stuck, we found her very unwell one morning but it was too late. The next morning we got the call from our vet to say they'd done everything they could but that was it, she was gone. Kakarikis are stunning and such gentle birds.

[@philrempel2246]

Thank for the nice video. Keep it up. Educate people please. Thank you. I have 23 Kakarikies. 5 different colours. And yes they are dust free and like to bath a lot. And fly around explore. They are fun to watch. But they do not make the best pets. As they do not like to be handled for scratches. And never clip a Kakarikie’s wings. They get depressed. And yes as she is saying. They need a big cage or a big room. Mine have 10 feet X 24 foot room. And even that seems at times is not big enough. They are so much fun to watch. The more toys they have the better. And I find that to. They spin in the seed dish. I think it is just the way they think. Or the way they do. And not noisy. I just love them. Remember no bird should have clipped wings. Especially Kakarikies. I always say if a person can not handle a bird with out clipping the wings they should not have a bird.

Why do one make the noise like a dog

[@charlieinsingapore]

Kakariki is the Maori word for green.

[@Loveofpets]

This is what I found when I did my research - The birds' Māori name, which is the most commonly used, means "small parrot". The etymology is: from kākā, parrot + riki, small. The word is also used to refer to the colour green because of the birds' predominantly green plumage.
