Encourage your birds to bathe - Bathing video - 30 minute loop

[@LiMoNaDiXa]

Omg i didn't expect it to work,but my stinker actually started bathing within first 15 minutes, thanks ALOT ☺️ he is very young goldfinch and actually was hand raised so for him seeing that was very helpful, and for me your videos helped alot for raising him. ALOT OF LOVE FROM Russia ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@leporellothegoldfinch]

Nice! Glad to hear it, greetings from Austria :)

[@a_random_m]

My two canaries have no trouble at all bathing, yet I still decided to watch this video as quick as possible 😂

[@leporellothegoldfinch]

Just made sure there are no ads mid-video, so you and your birds can enjoy this video undisturbed :)

[@dogman9291]

My finch loves this. He has a friend who loves to bathe, but he doesn't always bathe when the other bird does. For some reason, though, this video will get him to do it, maybe because Leporello looks like him? He also likes to sing along to the videos of Leporello singing and will try to copy him because he is still a young bird. It's very nice to watch. Danke schön, Leporello! Gute Besserung...

[@leporellothegoldfinch]

Happy to hear that! Thank you for your kind words and for your well wishes. I'm off to the vet now to get Leporello checked out again...

[@dogman9291]

@@leporellothegoldfinch I hope all goes well! Leporello and you have helped me greatly in taming and bonding with my goldfinch, as well as helping him to bond with his companion, who he actually didn't like at first! Many thanks to both of you.

[@a_random_m]

Hey, I wanted to thank you once more for your help. Yesterday Mango and Melon started jumping on and off my hand without any trouble, which is more than I thought was possible, and that’s all thanks to your amazing help! Right now I’m trying to train them to take millet seeds from my hand, so I can start training them to do things like allowing me to clip their nails. I have honestly never seen them get so close to me and not want to get off. I’m so thankful and happy you decided to make this channel! Honestly, I can’t describe my joy with words. I just really hope you won’t give up your channel. Keep up the great work! Also, get better soon, Leporello!

[@leporellothegoldfinch]

Hi there, it makes me so happy to hear that! Congratulations on your success - sounds like your dedication, time and patience is paying off. Thank you for your well wishes, we will post more videos this year, and once more: Well done! :)

[@icy_icenhour]

J’adore! We have a reverse osmosis filtration system for our terrible tap water at home, which chimes when you press a button for water. Our smart little bird learned quickly that the chime = water, so he developed a special chirp to let us know when he wants a bath! 😆 We should change his name to Pavlov!

[@leporellothegoldfinch]

That is amazing! Leporello used to have a little bell in his cage which I taught him to ring whenever he wanted to be let out, in quite the same manner as your bird learnt to associate the chime. All was fine and dandy until he started ringing that bell at 5AM, every single day... that was the end of the bell!

[@blankblank4949]

im so jealous of the bond you have with Leporello, my canaries were finally warming up to me after a year then i moved their cage with them in it and theyve been shunning me ever since, wont even eat a carrot stick from my hand ;(

[@leporellothegoldfinch]

I'm sorry to hear that! Is there something you're doing differently, maybe? Maybe they're uncomfortable in the spot they are in now. Birds tend to get frightened when they don't feel sheltered. Going through the taming steps in the bird-taming playlist would certainly help - they are likely to come around much faster the second time, too!

[@leiluscircus6950]

Thank You!!!!! Love it! Noticed my birds are bathing for longer & are definitely more thorough. You two are awesome! ❤️

That's great, happy to hear that! :D

YAS YEEEEEES! New video! :)

[@rodrigoappendino]

I really wish I could meet Leporello. Haha. It's kinda sad that he can't understand that a lot of people watch him on KZbin.

[@leporellothegoldfinch]

Well said. To be fair - even I can't really grasp that! The internet is a curious thing.

[@MyBirdwatchingWorld]

Lovely to see Leporello in action. How’s he doing? Is he better from his coccidia yet?

[@leporellothegoldfinch]

Leporello seems to be doing better - fingers crossed - I'm going to the avian vet this Thursday to check on his coccidia!

[@Blazemalta]

Hey There! How are you doing? Your little Leporello really knows how to shower.. unlike Gigi that only dips his beak and makes a mess while keeping himself dry. Gigi watches TV when I run Goldfinch videos and In have noticed that he prefers Goldfinch videos of them bathing. (I only found wild ones on youtube doing this). So this vid is a must for him! And being a long vid is excellent, he will enjoy it for sure. BTW, did you see the movie The Goldfinch about a very valuable painting.. if you didnt you should do so.. nice story.

[@leporellothegoldfinch]

Hi there, lovely to hear from you! Gigi might simply need more time - Leporello took three years (!) until he fully jumped into the water, before that he bathed just in the same way as Gigi does. Perhaps Gigi will be inspired here? - I haven't seen the film yet, but thank you for the recommendation! I'll be sure to check it out.

[@rokaq5163]

I just installed two mini-pool expansions on both my goldfinches' cages. While the female Nessy has no trouble going in and out the pool and taking long baths, the male Krono seems to be quite reluctant to bathe. He always has been, to be fair, but the new expansion seems to bother him even more than his usual little pool. I had resolved to simply bathing him by hand (he loves to stay on my palm right under the sink, and even falls half-asleep if the water is warm and the flow is steady), but I don't always have the time to do so. Hopefully playing this a couple times a day will help. Thanks!

[@leporellothegoldfinch]

That sounds lovely - I would love to see Krono bathing in your hand! Great names, by the way.

[@icecreamguy553]

Mine only submerges his head for some reason, never goes full body in

[@hasankabalan8538]

Your advices are amazing my goldenfinch started gaining trust because of you😘.Thanks🙏😇.I want to ask how to care for birds in winter and what to do if they become sick??

[@leporellothegoldfinch]

Hi there, always take birds to an avian vet as soon as you think they might be sick. Birds can have a number of illnesses which are impossible to diagnose/treat if you aren't an avian vet.

[@idrisizountar5854]

Hello, Try to give him bathing water in a somewhat wider saucer, so that he can wet his wings and tail more, so that he can get lustrous and organized feathers.

[@leporellothegoldfinch]

I've tried, but he only likes that little bowl.

[@leporellothegoldfinch]

I play him Beethoven, Mozart and Schubert on the piano almost every day. When he was little I played him nightingale songs instead of goldfinch songs, because I thought it would make his voice lower (and it did).

I tried to let my canaries out of the cage, but they just keep preening while the cage is opened. Even if I try to use food to show the the door is opened. But one of them trust me enough to eat from my fingers. He also put one of his feet on my finger sometimes, but never both of them. And it's rare. And I never see them bathing inside the cage.

[@leporellothegoldfinch]

It sounds like you're making great progress in taming your canaries! They are one of the hardest species to tame. Keep going, you're doing really well, and I'm sure your results will be excellent!

I have 2 sibirian golfinches (Stieglitz Major), the female gets into the watter with joy but the male just sits on the rand and touches the watter fast with his head. I played this video for him but it didnt help. Do you have any idea why he behaves like this? Danke und LG :)

[@leporellothegoldfinch]

Hi, the male might simply be shy! Leporello only bathed his head for about three years (!) before he was ready to jump in. Now at six years of age, he even bathes when strangers are in the room. Some birds may take longer -- just like with humans, it's a matter of personality :) Liebe Grüße aus Österreich!

I know this isnt about my bird bathing but i have an important question. I got a budgie a couple days ago and i think he is really scared because he always just stays in the same place and barely moves (only to eat and drink) and i tried letting it out by leaving the cage open but he just stayed in the same position and didnt move. What should i do?

[@leporellothegoldfinch]

He's alone! Budgies have a strong flock instinct, they cannot be kept alone or they will be depressed. Get another one and watch him perk up! Once you've done that, there's a birdtaming playlist on this channel which will help you.
