Helloooooo past Sophie and David. This is Gina from the future March 30,2024.... I love this video sooooo much its wonderful. Made me smile soo much. And its amazing how the flock has grown in 2 years. This video popped up right after your newest video that dropped today March 30 2024 on how loud parrots are. 🦜 ❤

[@BirdNerdSophie]

Thank you my lovely 🥰 so many things have changed in the last two years, it’s crazy!

[@thecockagies810]

What a fun video! I don’t think anyone who doesn’t have a bird would believe us when we say ‘it’s like having toddlers who never grow up’😂🤍

[@BirdNerdSophie]

Haha it really is! We can only rest when they go to bed!

[@ornithologydude8649]

"or how they wake me up" 😂 Cool vlog! Idk how you are so good at talking to a camera 🙈 it takes me about a billion takes for one shot 😂

Big thumbs up 👍 I wish I can arrange this kind of set up for my bird 🐦 😪

[@Loveofpets]

Loved seeing your birdie day. It's similar to mine. I juggle birds as well. My birds love star anise, it smells so yummy.

[@BirdNerdSophie]

Thank you 🥰 Juggling birds is time consuming but worth it!

I love these sorts of day in the life with my birds! I enjoy them so much, My canaries always love a good routine - My canaries are so eager with there breakfast and also in the morning just like your flock lol! Can we get a updated day in the life vlog?

[@BirdNerdSophie]

Oh yes it’s been on my to-film list for ages but everything takes twice as long to do when I film this that I haven’t had the time 🤣

[@Anna-px9bd]

[@BirdNerdSophie]

I will make one then! 😊

This was such a helpful video! I'm new to parrot caretaking and this has great tips throughout. ❤️

[@BirdNerdSophie]

Glad you liked it 🥰

[@fiveratsinatrenchcoat4408]

They’re so sweet, what are your thoughts on the bird tricks seasonal feeding system? They seem fairly critical of other foods and claim there food is really the only truly balanced diet for parrots

[@kelishacorridon1859]

I love their seasonal feeding system been using it for a year now with my little one.

[@joiadevita]

I know you're asking Sophie, but I thought I'd add a response as someone who uses the seasonal feeding system! :) It is by no means the *only* way to feed a bird a balanced diet, but I like that it takes a lot of the guesswork out of it. I make a big batch, thaw out a few days at a time, and on those days I'll add various things to it-- fruit, sprouts, edible blossoms, things that mimic my eclectus's wild diet. Basically, I know that when I make a batch of Birdtricks chop, it's a balanced nutritious meal, and that to me is worth it :)

[@BirdNerdSophie]

I don't have the cookbooks myself but I imagine they are a fairly comprehensive diet. However they are by no means the only way to feed a balanced diet to your bird! I don't think my birds would eat it though as they won't eat frozen then thawed out food!

[@michaelboldin9461]

I love them so much!!

[@BirdNerdSophie]

They are cuties! 🥰

[@michaelboldin9461]

@@BirdNerdSophie they sure are! Do you have any videos or insight on what to do when you need to be away from them for a while? My two conures get about 4 hours out every day, but there are times I need to be gone except for morning and evening - and they get pretty upset....it's not often since I also work from home, but wondering if you have any thoughts. thanks, recently subscribed!

[@BirdNerdSophie]

@@michaelboldin9461 you could get them used to having some independent play/alone time whilst you are home? Can you work in another room for an hour, or smaller increments so they can get used to you being away? It's what we do here! We also play music for them and make sure they have foraging activities that they know how to use - I will add it to my video list!

[@michaelboldin9461]

@@BirdNerdSophie thanks so much for the reply - doing some of that, but will try a little more!

[@pixxa37]

Adorable, all of you! Your birdies look truly happy... Life is good :) One quick question about the ACVinegar in the morning: do you do that for one day every week, or for an entire week every month?

[@BirdNerdSophie]

The ACV is for 7 days straight 😊

[@iranisarkar2359]

You always make the most beautiful videos .... I have a question how do you prevent your chop from becoming soggy

[@BirdNerdSophie]

Thank you so much! 💙 I squeeze some of the water out before adding the chopped veg, and I add dried edible flowers to soak up the moisture! Making it weekly rather than freezing helps too!

[@ktpuss]

@@BirdNerdSophie I wondered about this too, great idea adding the hibiscus I’ll do that as don’t always remember to use mine. Lovely video, you’d also answered another query I had with the ACV in the water with the amount 👍🏻…think I’ll do the same in the water bowl at the start of each month. X

[@BirdNerdSophie]

@@ktpuss that's awesome, glad you found it helpful!

[@DianaKay5]

I really enjoy your videos I was wondering if you could do a video about apple cider vinegar for birds I would really like to know more about that thank you ☺️

[@BirdNerdSophie]

Absolutely! I’ll add it to my filming list 😊

[@candicet5973]

Awesome vlog! Yeah an apple cider vinegar vid will be nice :D 6:40 in the bottom left corner I have that toy for Fluffy! The conures look extra cute today lol None of my birds like star anise :( Fluffy and Tiki r velcro birds -_- I'm trying to work around it Scampi's little chatters of "scampi" is adorable 🥺 Oooh gyosa!! I love them!!! 😋

[@BirdNerdSophie]

Haha I love it when he talks but I never manage to get it on camera normally! 🥰💙

[@drumb0]

Great video! So many little tips throughout. It would be interesting to see how you offer bathing opportunities (ie what size dish/bowl, water temp, where you place it) as I can’t get my kakiriki to bathe anywhere other than in her drinking water and the bowl is too small really!

[@BirdNerdSophie]

Usually I use room temperature water! The cockatiels prefer the spray bottle, Pickles washes in her water bowl, Scampi will wash under the tap in the water water or the next size up, and Olive washes under the tap in another bowl that’s a similar size! Have you seen my video on bathing birds? 😊

[@drumb0]

@@BirdNerdSophie no but I’ll watch it now thank you 😊

[@shaunmifsud2162]

I was wondering:i know that you modifie and change the breakfast every week or so but do you also change the dinner every week? Thanks for this content really enjoyed it!

[@BirdNerdSophie]

Hi Shaun! Thanks for watching! We change up the dinner daily as it’s a lot easier to do with dried ingredients!

[@BintOummiy]

Nice video thank you, I like to birds routine vlogs as I can see and understand differencies between birds, and how humans manage their daily activities. I see you let the door open, your birds don't go out of the room?

[@BirdNerdSophie]

The cockatiels don’t leave the room but the conures will! We always make sure the windows are shut and the toilet seat is down!

[@FreedomforParrots]

Nice Video and Info.. Have Wild Parrots see it please

Thank you!

Where did you buy olives cage?

[@BirdNerdSophie]

Olive’s cage is from Northern Parrots!

[@angsfeatheredfriends]

Buddy wants to eat everything I am eating. Depending on what I am having I will share. Tends to be fruit, or cold rice. In tiny tiny amounts. If it is something he shouldn't have I eat in another room.

[@BirdNerdSophie]

Haha they are so naughty!

[@kyliequinn6587]

I currently use newspaper. Thinking about changing to another material on the bottom of the cage. How often do you do a full change of the bottom material?

[@BirdNerdSophie]

I do a full clean once a week, and spot clean it twice a say (takes 2 minutes!) to keep it clean!

[@kelishacorridon1859]

That round foraging toy that you placed the hemp seeds in. Where did you get it?

Love the video I have found the perfect cage for my bird But sincer shiping is very slow its gonna get here in about 1 month But at least i found the perfect cage That is pretty cheap Very big I can change the bowls without opening the cage And its non toxic stainless steal Im pretty sure Chould be wrong But i know for a fact its bird safe

[@BirdNerdSophie]

That's great that you found a good cage - hope it arrives quickly!

[@moofie8273]

@@BirdNerdSophie same Loved to see your bird routine Mine is a bit messy sometimes bc sometimes my bird gets out of his cage when i put him food and change the water Im fortunate he doesnt bite He does growl and get really fluffy when he is mad at me But not bite Today he got mad bc he didnt like the toy i gor for him And he screamed and bit the toy until i took it out He wasnt scared of the toy bc out of his cage he stayed next to it and checked it out But he didnt like it in his cage He is a very dificult chicken sometimes but he is a sweet heart I say he But i dont know if its a boy or a girl Bc its still a baby But for the time being im gonna say he

[@cptbrncls7050]

would it be possible to have birds if you occasionally have to go away for a night or two nights? Is there any way of managing their care over that time if you don't have someone else to step in?

[@BirdNerdSophie]

Hey! Personally I wouldn’t leave my birds overnight in case they spook and hurt themselves!

[@vanessafarber3043]

Can the boys do wings? Trying to teach my tiel, she's not getting it, hates her wings touched. Also i have a senegal baby, he's very affectionate but he will attack the tiels even if they are in their cage, he'll get on top, try to get them through the bars, im now wondering, if i cover the top of their cages, if that would help? Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you x

[@BirdNerdSophie]

No our boys don't know wings yet but we are trying to capture it! Yes a towel over the top when he is out might help :)

@@BirdNerdSophie Thank you, I'll give it a try xx

[@zuzushy]

Great video as always! I wish I could use substrate with my female cockatiel but she goes down and gets very nesty with it unfortunately. Anyone have any tips or should I just continue with the grate?

[@BirdNerdSophie]

You could implement other hormone reduction techniques to reduce nesting behaviour and then see what she thinks? 😊

[@rainpuppet]

you could use paper towel or newspaper at the bottom!

[@Mo.3913]

Hi Sophie, so my cockatiels are acting strangely lately, one of them is fearless while the other is very scared, that’s their normal personality, but now the scared one isn’t so scared, when I get close to it it tries to bite, usually it would run away but now it’s not, the owner of the pet store said they will lay eggs in 15 days, he said that on Friday when we bought them, today is Tuesday so 11 days left, and when I hover my hand on their nest both of them hiss and try to bite, they’ve been going in the nest a lot lately, does that mean they will lay eggs soon? If not then how can I fix this strange behavior and make them both stop biting?

[@BirdNerdSophie]

You can’t predict when birds will lay eggs, but I would recommend taking the nest box out and not encouraging breeding as it can cause lots of problems! They are probably biting because they’re hormonal and are in breeding mode!

[@Mo.3913]

@@BirdNerdSophie ok thanks, but I’m trying to get them to breed so we can have a long process and have cockatiels for a long time and maybe sell a bit, any tips on how to get them to stop biting? Also they started to stretch their wings when they hiss. Also what do you mean by problems when they lay eggs?

[@BirdNerdSophie]

@@Mo.3913 laying eggs is very stressful on the body and can cause problems for the female. Of you are intending to breed them, they are going to bite and hiss as they are trying to protect their nest and each other!

[@Mo.3913]

@@BirdNerdSophie ok, but after the eggs hatch and they become like 2 months old will the parents let us handle them and hand tame them? And will hand taming the cockatiels I have now be harder when they lay eggs?
