Your budgies are SO healthy and beautiful. This video is very educational.

[@Loveofpets]

Thank you!

[@eneskoseoglu3456]

Hello there, I love the way you have recorded this video. I am addicted to budgies. But I have not got enough information about them. I am so lucky to come across with your channel. Be in Touch. God bless you.

[@jorgecanales798]

That’s true with the millet. My finches never had Millet before and they loved it the first time they got home. Another thing to feed budgies and all parrots are sprouted seeds. They have more nutrients than plain old seed and are a great way to get a parrot to eat veggies Oops I didn’t you were going to talk about sprouts in the video 😆🙊

[@theparrotsvoice6143]

Thank you for this critically important video for anyone who is thinking about getting a budgie. It's the best on youtube. All companion animals deserve veterinary care, even the $12.00 budgie. Budgies are the most neglected and abused of all companion parrots and are treated like throw-away pets. You've created a video that helps to curb that abuse. Thank you again!

[@commonsense246]

$12!!!!!!!! Where? I can find none for less than $45 and that's Petco! Give the name of the breeder you say will sell me one for $12~ Please

[@GossipSis]

you are such a sweet and sympathic person :)

[@sherrigodbey9244]

I realize that you made this video a few years ago, but you are always right on target with your topics that you share with viewers. Thank you so much for being a caring and conscientious, bird lover! I save copies of your KZbin videos so I can refer back to them in the future, and share them with other bird lovers.

[@Loveofpets]

Thank you so much, you are so kind. I am happy that my videos are helpful. Thank you for sharing!

[@zarahkarim2301]

I didn’t realize that about curling irons with a coating! I’ll have to check to see if any of my curling irons have any kind of coating. Thank you so much for this information

[@wiej3148]

Today I got my first budgie and you helped me a lot! I will follow you because you know a lot about budgies and you help people🐦🐦🐦

[@jrkeys9540]

Just got a beautiful little girl today 😍 her name is April I am so in love with my new budgie she is just settling in at the moment but can't wait to get her out and love her because she is hand tame and super sweet 💚💚

[@jrkeys9540]

Quick update April is settling in really well almost time for her to spread her wings around my sun room any advice for getting her out of the cage please 🙏 like should I just let her come out on her own 💚

[@jrkeys9540]

Update April is doing great she is getting so smart and we have this little wissle we do together, I have never clipped her wings and she has always been very tame I now get upset when people say that the cock budgerigar is easier to tame and more friendly. I always like 🙋 not true I have a hen and she follows me and we also share a wissle together aswel 💙💞

[@Linda-qq5mg]

I love budgies! You really covered so much about their care! It is an excellent one for anyone considering getting one or that already owns a budgie! Thank you for sharing all of your knowledge about them. I really enjoyed this!

[@budgiemom8345]

My little hen LOVES to bathe in the kitchen sink. She tells me when she is ready for a bath by landing on my shoulder when I am at the sink. She has me well trained. I let the water trickle when she lands on me and she jumps into the sink and lets the water trickle over her. It is adorable.

[@squaretriangle9208]

Your beautiful budgie is such a pet, how he looks at you listening😊

[@ElleAndTheBirds]

Such a great informative video! You take such great care of all your birds!

[@maheersworld7593]

I was just watching you before!

[@budgieyy]

Wow, you managed to touch on the mostly all of the major points in budgie care in only 30 m. A lot of work and years of experience went into this. Excellent video, thanks so much. I know my budgies will thank you.

[@Loveofpets]

Thank you, it was an hour long but had to shorten it. I may make a part two.

[@budgieyy]

Love of Pets that would be great, if you were to make a part 2!

[@Linda-qq5mg]

Thank you for an excellent video. You really covered all the needs of budgies!

[@jima9356]

Wow!, this is a great video. I wish I knew all this when I first went to the Humane shelter almost 2 years ago and took home 4 budgies that had been left on their front door step. You are absolutely right about finding an avian vet; I have to travel almost 2 hours to get to one and it's costly; $100 plus the medications. At least I got the right size of cages last year and that has been a whole lot better, yet when they are let out, they like to go back into the cage a short time later and do their chirping in the cages. You mentioned feeding sprouting; that would be a video I would really appreciate. I am always providing fresh fruit and vegetables but my birds only seem to nibble for bit and then become quiet; as if they are telling me "I want the seeds." They are older birds now, at least 6 maybe 7 years old, so maybe they are just set in their ways. Oh well, I still enjoy them. The "breakfast" video was great; maybe you could make a daytime feeding video also. Sterling looks so good and so do all your budgies. It's always great to see Jack Sparrow; your capture of Jack was the first video I came across, yet I don't know how or why; I just came across it, and I still go back to it on occasion.

[@Loveofpets]

Hi! Your budgies may be set in their ways but keep offering fresh foods and one day they may eat it. Indy got his dental surgery, thanks for the donation, it really helped.

[@helenrichardson5972]

Thank you , I'm messaged you about a year ago about getting a budgie and myself having allergies and you answered me back right the next day thank you, I took your advise and checked if I'de be ok with a budgie , all is good and our budgie squishy and I are very happy and allergy free . Thank you for being there with such good information . From Australia .

[@teardropface]

Another fantastic video! Thanks for sharing! Kisses from Mango, Blueberry & Rainbow!

[@Loveofpets]

Thank you, hope you and your flock are doing well 😀

[@ccgirl5055]

Thank so much for this! You covered so many important things that so many people have learned wrong, such as pink ceres and proper cages.

[@commonsense246]

As to paper for bottom of cage. Plain white butcher paper without wax can be bought cheaply and it fits better from a roll, cut all of it to make lots of them. This paper is very clean being made for meats and food. You can also get white paper on a roll made to top long banquet tables for very cheap. So much more attractive than newspaper and no ink worries.

[@irenedool1069]

Yup I liked the video very informative. I live in Canada too, I’m slowly getting what I need to get a budgie and I’ll be starting a savings account to set aside money for annual vet check ups mail trimming.

[@kiki29073]

I love my budgie. She hardly ever squeaks or screams. Mostly just the regular chirp noises.

[@karolj.6775]

OMG... Flat Iron.. never thought about that.. thank god 🙏 I know now.

[@TheLovatt123]

Great Advice, love the color of that bird

[@88marome]

My budgie just got a new friend, they look super "inlove" already! The new one was from a breeder and hand trained but my "old" budgie is so scared so he made the new one scared too. I don't think I can make him tame again but at least they are very very happy together.

[@savannahheltsley2631]

this video has such great advice!!! Ive probably watched over 100 budgie videos and none of them has had as good advice as this one :) thank you

[@wyomingadventures]

Great video about budgies! I would highly recommend it to anyone with budgies or wanting to get one! Sterling is so beautiful too!❤🐦😊

[@kiki29073]

There are pedi perches that have a smooth top and rough sided. Those are better than the fully textured ones.

I got a heart! O dear! My comment was noticed🥳🥳🥳

You are amazing. I watched all of your videos before I got my budgies. Made sure I followed your chop recipe and I am trying my best to give them the best life. Thanks hun x

[@annaagathe1881]

Thank you so so much🥰! I am getting two tomorrow and I can’t wait!

[@annalisa14]

The pink cere on any males means that you’ve got a lutino genetic mutation where the eye iris also is different. The iris may be entirely dark for the life of the bird.

[@hannahthelemonhazlenut3723]

I have the tall cage in the picture for my budgie and I have to belif you because he doese sit at the top most of the time I'll have to get him a new one soon

[@barbnbirds]

Nice video Donna.I do not have any budgies right now but you never know I might get one in the future.I haven’t had any budgies since I was 12 yrs of age.A little budgie was my first bird when I was only 8.Light years gone by.When I moved to my new neighborhood years ago I was fortunate to have moved near a women who bred budgies and canneries.She had indoor flights and outdoor.Both caneries and budgies flew back and forth inside and out .Even when it was snowing . I was amazed.She had all fancy colored too.Some were light purple.Anyway listening to you that brought me way back to early years which I enjoyed.But there’s one thing I never knew.I never knew the light mutations males had pink Ceres and I never knew that the females have white around their ceres.So , I always learn something from you Donna.I always thought the females only had reddish brown Ceres.Thank you for that because if I decide to get a couple of budgies I would like to get 2 males.I love the males they seem to be more vocal and there isn’t any egg issues.Thank you again for the beautiful way in which you express yourself. It’s always a pleasure watching and listening to you.

[@ashleysawyer9487]

[@happix-mo4441]

Your budgies are adorable. I appreciate you doing a special episode on budgies. I have 5, 2 girls, Sophie and Beebee, and my boys, Roscoe, Kiwi, and General. I really enjoy your advice. Could you expand on how to get them to eat fresh veggies? I can't get my babies to eat fresh foods. Thank you.

[@budgieyy]

Just clip a fresh leafy green, sliver of cucumber or sliver of another veggie everyday to the cage, then don’t obsess if the bird ate it or not. Make it a habit for yourself to do that, and then you know at least you are offering the right thing to your bird. I found my budgies take to dandelion from the grocery store. If you get it from outside be certain it is from a place where people don’t commonly go, because in a park I saw someone step to the side and they sprayed bug spray all over them self over the grass. So, watch out if you get chickweed or dandelion outside for your budgie that it is from somewhere you know is for certain safe, free from bug spray, pesticides, dog urine, or spray sun tan lotion.

[@Loveofpets]

Hi, here is a video that I made about how to get your bird to eat veggies kzbin.info/www/bejne/joGUfKusgKl6lbM

[@TheWitchMobile]

Awesome video! Im researching buying a bird and this video was very much aåpreciated.. Loads to learn and im especially worried about their respitory system (perfumes, cleaners etc). What if I bring home someone wearing much perfume? Will it kill my bird lol. Will my baking murder them etc etc (i have an open kitchen/living room solution) I need to get loads of stuff sorted first, but I've really fallen for birds. Hopefully I'll feel confident I can buy one(two) one day

[@ReeferNoob23]

I love watching them take a bath its so cute I always tell mine good job ypur getting a bath that such a pretty bird to try and intice her and reward her for doing it she does it like 2 times a week at random and always after I give her a fresh bowel of water which I of course do twice a day she a little ham

Thank you so much I just got a budgie and now I know what I bought was not good

[@paulsmith3889]

Very informative & excellent advice as usual, thank you. I've kept a wide variety of birds for decades & always had a few budgies throughout. They are my favorite as they aren't noisy, moody & nippy as larger parrots & other types of parakeets can sometimes be, can happily live in roomy but smaller cages, exhibit a cheerful personality & are very colorful. They are a great "starter" bird & less demanding for both kids & adults.

[@annalisa14]

I use WHITE vinegar to clean food and water dishes. Use ceramic. It cleans best

[@chriskowalski7038]

I have 8 budgies...and yes they are loud but l enjoy it and it makes me think that they are happy...I have never once told my budgies to "shush"

[@laurafedora5385]

Budgies are so under appreciated! They are amazing little birds, and it’s a budgie who holds the record for words and phrases! Pet stores need to do better with selling larger cages and learning about the right diet for parrots. I lost my parrotlet at a young age and I think it’s because I only fed him a seed based diet, thinking that was appropriate. 😓

[@themindofmoment8778]

Very helpful thank you

[@apatheticAnxiety]

Get used to this noise "CHAK! CHAK CHAKCHAKCHAKCHAK!"

[@annalisa14]

Also perplexing is for when I go away for 5 days. I have NO one to trust inside my home when I’m gone. So I have 5 budgies. 30 inch cage 18x18x30. I leave many seed and 💦 water bowls which will be very dirty when I return. Poor birds are in jail for the time I’m gone. And, it’s not a vacation when I go.

[@annalisa14]

My only unanswered problem is for how EXPENSIVE any visit to avian veterinarian is !!!! In Oregon, it costs around $160 for a first level “well-bird” visit. Then MORE MONEY for labs and medicine.

[@Loveofpets]

Avian vets are expensive. My vet charged $135.00 for the examination only

[@janechalfant8606]

Would like to buy 2 Eng Budgies, but where? Prefer males I have 4 Bourkes about 5 mo of age. 3 Rosie's and 1 lutino. Love everything about them. Enjoyed your videos. BTW, I found packing paper on.Am

[@janechalfant8606]

[@kagehikari4281]

Ahh budgies. So tempted to get 2 as there the most avalible but i just dont have the space for an apropreate cage in my small appt. u_u. I can see where some can get botherd by budgie noise, but for me, i usualy watch cockatoos and other large parrots so a budgie is nothing to me XD (I know vids are not the same as irl but still loud) They sure are buisy little buisy boddies lol The way they "talk" is very distintive and interesting to me compared to other parrots. They remind me of little wind up toys

[@karenhaid6397]

Budgie's diet is a wonderful diet for humans too, if you don't overdo it of course. Eat healthy and be on the move, budgies and humans!!

[@micha9705]

Can i use medium sized cage if i let the budgie out every day?

[@angsfeatheredfriends]

This is a very informative video, thank you for posting it. Just a few things though... Altered dowel rods can be used (I would personally limit it to just 1 though, maybe 2 if its a larger flight cage), just get a knife and scrape it up, to have a bark like texture, and put them in the cages at an angle. So it gives their feet a work out. As far as mineral blocks and cuttlebone goes, i'd avoid the ones that are colored and flavored. Unless they use natural flavors and colors. 99% of the time, it is artificial crap they put in those including dyes your bird shouldn't ingest at all. (same goes for pellets you buy, never get ones that contain added sugars, dyes, or artificial flavorings). I would have also suggested those bowls that come with 90% of cages are made from plastic, which isn't good for your bird at all, they develop bacteria fast and are hard to clean fully, even if you think you are cleaning them very very very well. Get stainless steel bowls (for food and water)!!! You should still wash them every day, but are a lot better for your birds. Also, if you are going to use those tunnel waterer things, at least get the ones made from ceramic or glass. Plastic is just asking for problems. Should also point out, some space heaters, which a ton of people use, can contain Teflon in them as well. Be careful! As far as the covering goes, make sure you keep a very close eye on how your bird interacts with said cover, some will chew on the cover, that is just as dangerous as chewing on those rope perches! Not sure if I missed it, did you mention they should be getting 11-13 hours of uninterrupted sleep each night? A high quality pellet (Such as Harrison's) is a great way to make sure your parrot gets nutritional values they need daily (ground up veggies, dried up, and pressed into a shape). Much easier to convert them to that over veggies as well (some of the semi ok pellets, like Zupreem Naturals (for budgie sized birds) even look exactly the size and color of seeds (a great way to introduce and convert them over to a taste / texture)). If they wont touch either, I highly suggest sprouting your seeds instead of just giving them seeds as is. If your seeds don't sprout, this means you are feeding your birds dead seed (which sadly, a lot of seed manufacturers do), which is hands down the worst thing you can feed a parrot. More so than seeds that will sprout. I agree with the do this carefully part as well, don't want to give your parrots moldy seed. My budgies love their bath time, sometimes it is out of their water dish, sometimes it is from a spray bottle, sometimes it is from their cat fountain (I got that idea from one of your other videos, ended up going with IsYoung's brand though, it had a nice window on the side to see water levels). I seriously hate people who consider any pet as disposable. Take them to the vet seriously. You wound' t leave your 3 year old kid in pain and suffering would you? Why should an animal be any different?!!?!?!?! LOL I don't eat healthy (I hate their tastes and textures so much) at all, that is on me, but I do make damn sure my parrots all have chop, quality pellets, and new toys.

[@ReeferNoob23]

By the way if I never said this your birds are healthy and happy looking your doing it rite!

[@sunfloweraesthetic2194]

I’m getting my budgies in March so I was wondering of how I can tame them to go on my finger and come out the cage and go back in

[@Loveofpets]

Use spray millet as a treat and try clicker/ target training. To get them back in, offer spray millet from your hand. They may land on you and you could put them back in or show them the millet and put it in the cage and they may go in the cage to eat it. Never put millet in the cage at other times as they won't see it as a treat. Also use a certain word for them to go back in and they will learn it.

[@sunfloweraesthetic2194]

Ok thank u so much

[@helenrichardson5972]

... Carbon would be a nice name for a grey Budgie. 💟😁🙋🏻‍♀️💕✝️

[@Miss101Beauty]

Please give me some advice. I got my budgie a week ago, I have owned birds before and watched so many videos before getting her lol. she’s 6 months old already. She has a nice cage, fresh food and water, lots of toys, I speak to her and play her music and leave telly on for her when I leave the room. But she looks so depressed. She rarely ever moves, she makes no noise, she doesn’t rise any of her toys, she just sits facing away from me all day every day. She’s had a little millet off me once on her third day but she won’t have anymore not even through the bars. She used to live in an aviary, is she lonely? Does she need a friend? Or shall I just give her a little more time? It just breaks my heart seeing her so sad. I have left her cage open for hours even when I’m not in the room just to see if she does anything but she just sits in the same spot :( she is eating but only when I’m out the room. Any advice I’d be grateful for please x

[@pamelanoirot1427]

I have a canary winged parakeet i have tried numerous times to cover its cages but it gets mad and climbs all over the cage non stop and gets its nails caught in the cover. It's it alright that it doesn't have a cover?

[@Loveofpets]

Yes it's alright to not cover her. You are lucky to have a canary wing as they are rare in my area 😀

[@MP-cv5tc]

Hi , thank you for all your tips and advice ..I got my budgies almost a year ago and they have gave me babies once already but they are laying more eggs , my question is can I fool them by putting some left over eggs from the last time that didn't hatched ?? I'm concern that she is going through so much so soon 😳☹️....will it make her lay less eggs ??? I want her to live a long life with me 😊...thank you so much for your advice 😍

[@Loveofpets]

Hi, take away any nesting boxes or anything that she will lay in. I would avoid using the old eggs as they carry bacteria especially if they get accidentally broken and get some plastic "dummy eggs" to give her. Make sure she has extra calcium. Place the eggs in the cage and see if she will lay on them

[@MP-cv5tc]

@@Loveofpets thank you so much for your prompt response 😘 I was afraid of her getting egg bound if she didn't have a place to lay her eggs , that's why I had the nest inside , I'm so glad there are people like you who love their pets as much as I do...thank you again for getting back to me 😘😘

[@Loveofpets]

Your welcome and I understand your frustration and wanting to do what's best for your birds. I give mine a nest if they are trying to lay eggs so that they don't go egg bound. So yes give a box if needed and place the plastic eggs inside

Hi! I’ve loved this video I was wondering if you can give your bird seed as a treat as I’m getting 2 budgies in 4 days

[@Loveofpets]

I believe that Budgies need seed in their diet. I feed both seed and pellets. If they eat the pellets then yes they can eat seed for treats. Ask what they are eating before you bring them home and give same diet and switch slowly to new diet. I have heard of birds dieing because new owners fed only pellets and the birds were on a seed diet and wouldn't eat the pellets and starved to death. If feeding a pellet diet ensure to feed fresh foods daily as a pellet diet only is not nutritionally balanced. They love spray millet as a treat 😀

Okay, I don't know if this is dumb or not, but is it possible to get a budgie when you already have a pet cat and dog? I REALLY REALLY want one, I've wanted one since I was little, I just don't know if it'd be dangerous for me to get one while I already have a cat and dog. Can I get one? Maybe if I put it in a specific room, the other animals don't have much access to?

Cats hunt birds so that could be dangerous. I have dogs with my birds and they are fine around my birds but some dogs have a high prey drive and will go after your birds so you have to be careful if you have a high prey drive dog.
