Just stumbled upon your KZbin show and it explains so much, we just very recently lost a English budgie after five years, thought we were doing everything right, which we were the best of our ability, but we had no idea that their heart was bigger than a normal parakeet, wow, what a smart intelligent, unbelievable bird. Absolutely heartbroken. Thank you so much for your great knowledge birds, what would be a smaller bird that would have the least amount of problems? A very sociable parakeet type bird that would not have the tumors or heart disease or as little as possible, if there is a proper answer. I’m sure there is a ton of people on here that can answer that question. I would really appreciate it, being in Florida. It is the perfect climate even though they are kept inside under air conditioning but always covered with no draft. Thank you so much for your knowledge. Great show and subscribed. Thank you!!!!

Gorgeous bird ❤

Summer is a beautiful bird. I like that you explain that the kakariki is an independent bird that is constantly on the go. The messiness is cute in that they will push everything out of the way to forage for food and they love to bathe. I enjoy seeing Summer eat with holding food.

[@Loveofpets]

Thank you very much! Summer is so adorable and love seeing her hold food with her feet. Thanks for the super chat!

[@MrsMcbey]

Love her thx

[@catherine6653]

Your Kakariki is a beautiful yellow, like a ray of sunshine 🌞 in the bird room. I have always wanted to visit New Zealand or Australia to see the parrot species in the wild. Thank you for all your informative videos.

[@Loveofpets]

Your welcome! I wish to visit Australia to see the birds and I hope you can as well.

[@Charmsgaming12]

Summer so Beautiful and Gorgeous happy Valentine's Day Donna 🤗💝

[@Loveofpets]

Thanks so much, happy Valentines 💝

[@taistudobom]

This video is adorable, thank you! They are such underrated parakeets, I love them so much. It's true they don't like to be touched, yet mine love to stay on my shoulder while I walk around the house. They even accept little kisses. Fennel (this pear on my profile pic) never leaves my side! She is afraid of dark rooms, but if I enter one, she stops by the door and wait for me to come back to the light 😂

[@Loveofpets]

How cute Fennel is 😍 Glad you enjoyed the video and added a story.

[@kathyntexas1350]

Love your birds and your passion for them. I have never seen a Kakariki. Thank you.

[@Loveofpets]

Awh, your welcome 💓

[@Hakuismyman715]

I've only seen one in a pet store awhile ago (I live in western Canada) and I was so amazed by how pretty it was and how cute it sounded. I have yet to see another one in a pet store or up for adoption...

[@KateeAngel]

I had one. She was pure joy ❤

[@Loveofpets]

What color was she?

[@KateeAngel]

​@@Loveofpets Regular green

[@jea5977]

Have had my lil Poppy for nearly three yrs and have enjoyed watching her grow and mature. I am lucky that she actually does like to cuddle - on occasion and at her perogative. She has been so much fun and I look forward to many more yrs with her. I enjoy your videos and your enthusiasm and knowledge of all your birds.

[@sisl989]

the way he holds his food with his feet is so cute

[@Michaela-f8q]

Finally someone who has a video on these critters!! I have 4 budgies and a cockatiel at the moment. With huge flight cages. I’m adopting a kakariki tomorrow. And really wanted more info on them, but they are harder to find in the bird keeping world. I watch your videos all the time!! Thank you so much ❤️

[@Loveofpets]

Glad I could help!

[@alaricamorganthe4912]

What a stunning little bird Donna luv ur vids 🙂

[@daz3350]

I brought a pair of kakarikis home two days ago they are extremely quiet I guess that will change in due time They are so beautiful Yes they are messy 😂 especially theo male one Can't wait until I can let them out Thank you for your valuable lessons Much appreciated

[@AVDB95]

I can't express enough how glad I am that I choose kakariki's over rosella's when getting my aviary. They are wonderfull birds and their curiosity means that it's easy to introduce new foods and new toys. All off my birds are parentraised but still tame enough to land on me and accept food from my hand. My tamest one is a beautiful cream colored (parblue+dom pied+ rec pied) male that was born in our aviary. He is also parentraised but because we made him used to us when he was still in the nest he now loves to get attention from humans.

[@BirdOwner518]

Tysm!!!! Should be adding a kakariki to my flock this Thursday!!!! His name is goose !!!

[@Loveofpets]

You must be so excited! Enjoy your bundle of feathers!

[@BirdOwner518]

[@Loveofpets]

Glad to be of help.

[@hskaviary3753]

Beautiful Awesome

[@austinzollo5098]

You did a great job, you forgot to mention that they ling to bounce or hop around. But you are right they are messy with the water.

[@zunairbirds3984]

Awesome sharing ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@donrisjeanfreau5419]

I loved this introduction to your bird, it was o interesting & informative. It is adorable, but I I would say high maintenance bird for me. I do not have the accommodations for it. Summer is just adorable, I have a Green Cheeked Conure & a female lovebird. So my hands are full with them. Your introduction was suburb. Thank you so very much ❤😂🎉😅😊

[@Loveofpets]

Glad you enjoyed the video! Kakarikis are very energetic and messy for sure!

[@heatherculliford5462]

Donna - - I love the information you share and the care you give your birds. How do you have the time for all of them? You seem to do a good job and know all of your animals - - dogs, rabbits and birds - - but truly - - you have a full time job with them. I suppose they are your job if you create videos for KZbin.... There is a stainless steel birdbath/fountain in this video. Could you let me know where I could buy one? I have been looking for a non-plastic one for my cat. Thanks

[@Loveofpets]

Hi, glad you are enjoying my videos. Looking after my pets is part of my life and I work from home so that helps. Here is a link to the water fountain amzn.to/3BV63lv

[@heatherculliford5462]

Thank you for the reply Donna but the link that you provide is not for the fountain that is featured in your video and the reason I like the fountain in your video is because it is much lower than those other ones on Amazon. Was it quite a while ago that you purchased yours?

[@heatherculliford5462]

The link leads me to fountains on Amazon that are a lot higher and the one in your video and my cat will not approach them because the height of the walls are much higher than the bowl that she uses now to drink from. I had ordered one and had to send it back because she wouldn't drink from it.

[@izabeau1953]

I saw a Kakiriki awhile ago on your videos, and I just love them, got a pair exactly like yours yellow and red markings, so beautiful ,I finally have a pair. Thy are such a delight to have, very active birds, not afraid of me putting food and water, thy come right up to me . Thy have layer 5 eggs and I do hope I will have some babies, out of all my birds I love them the most. I have budgies, love birds, Bourgs, lady golds, kokitils and one zebra finch , my male got stuck and I didn’t see and he died. I use to breed canaries also . I love my birds, and I do love your lovely room you got yours in. That was my dream also , to have. ❤️🌹❤️

[@Loveofpets]

Thanks for your input, I hope the eggs hatch. Sorry about your Finch.

[@evazayum]

Hi would you say that a kakariki and a linnie could share a cage together?

[@Loveofpets]

I don't recommend it.

[@juneyief6806]

Hi, I find your videos very informative, thank you. I have a couple of Kakarikis, and they are very much as you described. My question is, do you have Conures? Thank you again for your great vids.

[@Loveofpets]

Hi, glad you are enjoying my videos. I do not currently have conures. I used to have a green cheek many years ago.

[@EthanEngland-sy6kv]

I bought a $450 kakariki it's the yellow Crown kakariki I love it it's my first day with it it's sleeping right now it's about 12:00 a.m. in my country just wanted to tell you about that it's on topic so I am speaking facts right now the one that we got was from the pet store it's cool energetic and sleeping right now I probably already told you that my friends are coming over tomorrow and I'm going to slowly introduce it to them I know I wrote like in 100 word paragraph I absolutely do not care

[@OscarChicken]

Its borb, cute borb. 💛❤️

[@lilywilde1886]

Thank you for such interesting video ❤️ Whats the species called in minute 5:59? You called it Turquoise Wings? Thanks ✨

Hi, its a Turquoisine Parakeet

[@arlindadervishi6957]

i have a kakariki perot too

[@hey.jessmckenzie]

Love this video. Believe it or not, it's actually beyond difficult to keep these Kakariki as pets in New Zealand now with the additional requirements to gain a permit for keeping. Understandably so, since DoC don't want natives in the pet trade here for various valid reasons. So the rest of the world gets to enjoy our beautiful taonga Kakariki as pets, and we just get to enjoy them as mainly natives from now on ❤

[@Loveofpets]

Thanks for sharing! I have wild Sparrows here and I see them as pets in other parts of the world, it's strange.

[@bjorngopaul3869]

Hi. What can you do for scaly feet.

[@hskaviary3753]

What will be the estimated price of this beautiful bird

[@Loveofpets]

The price varies depending on where you are and if hand raised or parent raised. I have seen them sell from $150.00 to $500.00

[@redtail212]

It looks like a cartoon chicken! 😮

[@Loveofpets]

Haha, she does!

[@kamrulhassan4261]

Can I get 1 pair kakariki bird ?

[@maryrobbins2723]

I have a green male

[@Loveofpets]

That's awesome! Does he talk?

[@iancorfield2488]

I got a pair of young green Kakariki from a bird auction a month ago, but because they're aviary bred, they're not at all tame. I'm not sure how to get them more friendly. They enjoy flying round my room, and sitting on shelves, top of curtains etc and also walking about on the floor, and when they've had enough they will go back in their cage. They don't seem keen on bathing though, but now I've seen how yours liked it so much, I'll start to put a bath in every day to see if they might use it

[@melschevelle]

[@tipiwhenuatanirau8105]

It’s very illegal to have them as pets here in New Zealand because they are endangered

[@Loveofpets]

Thanks for your comment, that is sad to here that they are endangered. I will treasure my Kakariki Summer. Its hard to find the original color, only the mutation colors are available at times, however they are hardly available and rare where I am.

[@tipiwhenuatanirau8105]

@ don’t worry they are making a comeback here in the wild ! The orange fronted kakariki is even more rare then the red fronted . I’ve lived here in NZ my whole life and only heard about the existence of these beautiful lil birds maybe 3 years ago .
