Parakeet|Budgie Care

[@mistthefurry6240]

I agree with all of the stuff you say but I've never heard you need to get two budgies and the reason you haven't had any problems with mirrors is because there's friends in there and if you seem like on the mirror and you clean it just know it's throw up because they're trying to regurgitate too because they think it's their mate

[@virginiacurtis4431]

Those are breeding behaviors and mirrors make them more hormonal and leads to behavior issues.

[@jessicamatulick7248]

I have a budgie who lives without a cage mate. He has been with us for 6 years so far and doesn't seem to get that lonely, he loves to babble to himself. He doesn't have a mirror though.

[@HappyTailsAnimals]

+Jessica Matulick that's very sad

[@AthosRespecter]

Happy Tails no its not

[@AthosRespecter]

Happy Tails my parakeet spends allot of time with me and my family and he is a lone budgie. Also not all parakeets are budgie and all budgie are parakeets. So please get your facts straight.

[@probablyniki]

How? How can you just say he’s happy? Did he tell you that? Can you read his mind? Budgies don’t “act lonely”. But they are, if they’re kept alone. I feel bad for that bird of yours

[@monkeychief1904]

Wow. This comments section is aggressive...

[@MollieMoth]

A budgie is a type of parakeet. And a parakeet is a type of parrot

[@HappyTailsAnimals]

+Simply Olivia I'm not referring to those parakeets in the video. Please watch the beginning of the video

[@zombiedoll3697]

Happy Tails , how do you not understand this? Simply Olivia is correct and you are just rude. Parakeet refers to any one of a large number of small to medium sized parrots that generally have long tail feathers. Budgie is short for Budgerigar, which is a specific small parrot.

[@jomanaljasem1522]

ZomBie Doll she said please. is that rude ?

[@AthosRespecter]

Happy Tails parakeet can be kept alone with human interaction

[@chriskowalski7038]

I watched the beginning of the vid and you said there is a slight diff between a budgie and a parakeet...No...a budgie IS a type of parakeet..

[@rosiegirl2485]

I have a Budgie story that I wouldn't believe if I didnt experience it myself! I have bird feeders in my yard that fall onto my sidewalk. I like to drink my coffee in the morning and watch the birds eat and bath. About a month ago I noticed a bright green bird, with a bright yellow head, eating along with the sparrows. I was shocked when I realized it was a parakeet. He comes everyday...but I cant figure out how to catch him. Well this morning to my amazement, I looked out and along with all my other birds, including my green parakeet, there was a bright yellow parakeet!!! Who could even imagine this!!! I noticed she wasnt flying as quickly as the others. So I went outside...where I have a dwarf plum tree...and walla...I was able to get her!! I have watched a trillion videos on the care and welfare of parakeets ever since! We put her in a really small cage for catching mice while my son went to Petsmart to buy me a $90.00 cage...and a few accessories. Now I am a budgie mom, of a beautiful budgie named Tweety! If I can catch the green one, I am going to name him either Freebird...or Jack Sparrow, being that he thinks he is a sparrow now...ha! Thank you for listening to my story... And thank you for your videos...they have been a life saver for me...and for Tweety! 🌷

[@MusicLoverMN]

That’s so odd & amazing! How has Tweety been?! Did you ever catch the green parakeet?! I’d love an update! You are so lucky! 🍀

[@jillian_hickey]

I have a question. Can I defuse essential oils from the other room?

[@shaniacool8661]

I got 2 budgies and I love them so Much 😊

[@pinkmarshmallow3692]

Not hating but budgies really arnt for Viewing they love playing with other birds AND people and it’s not very hard to train them and it can gain a lot of trust just thought that would be helpful love your videos by the way 😂

[@alvaropaez6705]

How do you introduce parakeets I have one that I have had for 3 weeks and want to get him a friend?

[@amandadavis7585]

Can I keep my pair in the type of cage with a divider or should they be in one larger space?

[@Rebecca10117]

Amanda Davis One larger cage as long as they don't fight 🙂 if they do fight, they should be in separate cages

[@bobbybuck8564]

is it better to feed parakeets pellets

[@natalier4053]

Shekinah The Unicorn Please do your research before spreading information. Pellets are much healthier for birds than seeds.

[@HappyTailsAnimals]

No, I don't include pellets in any of my parrots diet. Please watch the diet video in the icard.

[@natalier4053]

Yes! Only a small percent of their diet should be seeds. Seeds are like junk food, they aren't nutritious and are fatty. I would like to add that even with a pelleted diet it shouldn't make up more than their other foods like fruits, veggies, and grains. Pellets are more of a staple supplement than that being the only food you have to feed them.

[@bobbybuck8564]

Happy Tails what do u feed. and do u also feed the same diet to a conure or cockatoo but larger.

[@kayleemccracken2966]

Bobby buck yes it is

[@lpsmilkshakelps3090]

Is a 53 inch cage ideal for a single budgie? Please reply, you seem to know what you are doing and I want to give my budgie the best life possible. Thank you!

[@emmacanuto7650]

plz someone answer my question and getting my budgie on sunday and i was seeing if the cage already came with a cuttle bone holder/millet spray holder and the water/food bowl and dont Sandy perches Hurt their feet

[@reallylily3591]

My bsf parakeets just had a few babies and she said I get to keep some 😆😆😆 😊 can’t wait

[@ladzero5906]

Hello! I may be watching this late, but I have been searching for the correct video to research about parakeets! And you made my day. I have seen other videos like yours but never gave me the proper info. I have made a deal with my grandpa that for my bday he would get me 2 parakeets and the cage. I have one question, what is the best toys for a parakeet? Thank you for reading!

[@Rebecca10117]

coolgirl12346 Hi :-) make sure your cage is big enough for 2! With toys and a few different types of perches. They especially like toys that are made to be torn apart lol. And a swing for each of them!

[@faithduncan9663]

Good toys are ladderlike things and those cat toys with the plastic ball with the bell inside

[@aasiyahashmi6825]

This is very helpful im planing on buying two parakeets. But I wanted to know if I have two parakeets how would I bond with both of them? Also my living room has a very high ceiling so do you think it’s okay for them to fly free there? Will they come back? Ty very much for the informational video.

[@bigsauze4638]

My parakeets are in my room where I have a fish tank should I have any problems with em being in there?

[@faithduncan9663]

I have school and am busy sometimes and next year I will have marching band which takes up a lot of time, I also play the t sax at home regularly. Is it a good idea for me to get parakeets?

[@carolinehickman9132]

so i'm getting 2 budgies . would you recommend getting 1 , taming it , and then getting another one and taming it with the other one , or getting them both at the same time and taming them together ?

[@HappyTailsAnimals]

+Caroline Hickman if you want to be able to interact with them, get them handfed

[@NinaFreya]

Caroline Hickman That would be a lot easier it is VERY hard to tame two parakeets at once.

[@maex7917]

Oh my god. Such a coincidence. I'm getting 5 budgies and 4 parakeet parrots tomorrow!!!!! Thanx

[@NikolaG5478]

Buzzy Bee Reptiles WTF so 9 parrots

[@emmabrunko6812]

@HappyTails What is your opinion on pellets for parakeets?

[@jennahoovler3910]

Possibly silly question but is the food you make for your birds good for macaws too? I want to vary my birds diet more since she really only gets a few types of fruits and veggies. Thanks!

[@HappyTailsAnimals]

+Jenna Hoovler it's for all parrots, macaws just need a little more fat in their diet so more nuts and things like that. Please watch the diet video

[@sydney4746]

Do you like Blue Tongued Skinks? Cause I was thinking of getting one

[@14turtle21]

Do I have to get another budgie for it or can I have it by itself?

[@pawproductions4421]

nice video! loved it. but I have one question. that is, can you take you parakeet out of its cage? or no?

[@sandy-wh5gx]

I have 11 budgies and before I got them I checked out your video and because of you I used your info and my budgies love me and I have such a big cage I love your videos your the best

[@heyyitsdaelynn352]

I'm getting parakeets can I hang the cage or set it on the floor my room is small and I don't think you can hang it I need help!!!💗💗

[@naomimesch779]

Your video has been so much help, I have had my heart set on having a budgie. But I think it is best to wait until I have taken babysitting classes and I can babysit for money. so that I can make sure that they have a constant supply of toys and food and vet money.

[@fadedpython9877]

So I have a parakeet, and my dad is able to bring him to work. Is that okay?

[@mongrelkitty8383]

Is it ok to use Critter Nation cages for Budgies? It has 1/2 bar spacing. You did say that 1/2 is the widest you can go. (Also is it true that budgies wont bond to you if they're in a pair?)

[@Rebecca10117]

Mongrel Kitty They can still bond with you! Try working with them individually too sometimes

[@zahrasultanzadeh9124]

Hi I was just wondering do cuttlebones have an expiry date?

[@NinaFreya]

I don't believe so. They can go stale though and if water gets on them they will go bad!

[@zahrasultanzadeh9124]

Thanks

[@kaylamckee8865]

is 26"L x 14"W x 22"H a good cage size? I am thinking about getting a couple of parakeets :) Thanks!!! :)

[@alyssadunn4420]

I have a question I have to budgies I’m thinking about getting the vision large model cage Can I get it for them because it’s length is longer then with but overall it’s a very large cage so will it be fine for two budgies?

[@zombiedoll3697]

Alyssa Dunn, Yes. Budgies need a wider cage rather than a tall one. They are lateral flyers. The Vision cages look great but I've read comments about them being not very sturdy, which should be fine as long as you know about it. Just be careful when cleaning or moving the cage.

[@alyssadunn4420]

ZomBie Doll so it’s okay to put two budgies in a large vision cage?

[@s3dnu]

I have two parakeets and i got one mirror for them is that ok ??

[@abbi1349]

Can I use melting pots in my home if I get a pet bird?

[@williamli9239]

is it ok if I had a parakeet cage with a 0.6 space between the bars?

[@Rebecca10117]

William Li It would probably be okay. Just make sure your birds aren't trying to escape through them because they can get stuck. Also letting them have at least 2 hrs out of the cage every day will help that too ☺️

[@WaddleandBiscuit]

Yay I have been waiting for this video for ages. Thanks for making it

[@Emma-bu5cv]

Hi Happy Tails! I know this is a old video, but if you have a budgie who doesn’t like other budgies, could you put a budgie next to his cage in a separate cage so he won’t be lonely?

[@officiallillyandlola1009]

I have a talk and big hamster cage if I take everything out and put budgie toys in it will it be okay ?

[@zahrasultanzadeh9124]

Officiallillyandlola be careful if the bar spacing

[@zombiedoll3697]

Budgies prefer a wide cage rather than a tall one. The bottom of the cage will be wasted space. It seems most manufacturers ignore this as wider cages are harder to find. Look at the Vision cages and see if you can find one locally.

[@janewestlady]

I offer my parakeet seed and fruit, and he only eats the fruit. What should I do?

[@HappyTailsAnimals]

Norah you should watch my parrot diet video

[@roxannereed3450]

I got a preeket and I'm am getting another one

[@marthacaballero5993]

Roxanne Reed preeket?

[@friends4ever622]

[@jotajota7712]

Roxanne Reed same

[@crasmanzoobas9853]

Nice spelling 100%

[@eduardotorres8608]

Roxanne Reed you spelled parakeet wrong

[@saradobbyn7999]

I recently bought a budgie and she wasnt raised on pellets or fresh foods so the only thing she'll eat is seeds. Any advice?

[@zahrasultanzadeh9124]

Give her some time to get used to her new home and then chop the vegetables very small and put it in her food bowl without seeds. Make sure to keep an eye on her because budgies can refuse to eat and starve and die. If she really did not eat it give her back her seeds. If she's tame you can give it to her in your hand or eat a piece in front of her.

[@blossombuddies2875]

If I were to get 2 parakeets from different places could one be alone for around 3 days? I would get it during a time when I'm home a lot like a school break (I don't have summer break but I have some smaller ones around the year) I've seen many that seem fine as just one so I don't personally think it would be a problem for just a few days. I can only find one shelter within 100 miles with a parakeet in it and they only have one too. The other would probably be from a breeder

[@HappyTailsAnimals]

+Lily Blossom yes that's ok

[@amandayt8]

What temperature should I keep the room at? Or what is a safe temperature for budgies?

[@alejandras.2978]

My parakeet's mate died what would you suggest,? he doesnt accept any other parakeet even after several months

[@aasiyahashmi6825]

I bought a bird cage and it came with 4 food bowls, do I need to use them all? Also can someone please tell me what exactly I should be feeding my parakeets im getting two. I’m so confused everyone is saying different things I just want to know exact mesurments.

[@ritaurboniene7103]

I have 1 parakeet but my neon or has two and we go over there pretty much every day is that okay?

Will you do a video on how to take care of mice

[@user-zc8dm8kr6d]

Hello I have two parakeets. About 6 weeks ago, I got a sand perch. My parakeet don't really stand on it but they eat it. Is this bad for them?

[@zahrasultanzadeh9124]

Sundeep Kaur sand perches are very bad for parrots. Sand perches have grit in them which is not suitable for parrots. Also sand perches can cause cuts and sores in the feet and can get infected and it causes bumble foot and little grains of sand get stuck in their feet. Please remove all the sand perches. The better alternative to sand perches are calcium perches and concrete/pedi-perches.

[@user-zc8dm8kr6d]

Best Budgies! Thanks! I took them all out and threw it away

[@curlytop3194]

I love the idea of having a large parrot, but I only have experience with canaries and parakeets and some familiarity with cockatiels, and I feel that a cockatiel is the largest bird I would feel confident about taking care of. But, considering how often parakeets end up in bird rescues and shelters it's probably best (once I finally live in a place that accepts pets) to stick with parakeets anyways. I also think that rescuing pigeons would be cool, and I know that there are always pigeons in need of homes, and I hear pigeons are a great bird for beginners so it should be easy for me to do it if I do my proper research. Any thoughts?

[@MusicLoverMN]

That’s awesome! How did that go? How have you been since you last posted this? Have you gotten a bird yet??? I want one so badly. I miss my old bird so much.

[@miaow.mystery]

I got a budgie few months back because I wanted to tame her first and was scared that she may fight with the other bird I may get. But now I'm considering getting another bird and was wondering if I should get a male or female?

[@keepcalmandwatchyourfaveyo7694]

Joy Aquarium Get the same gender as the one you have now. Unless you want to breed them which you shouldn’t unless you have had extensive training.

[@miaow.mystery]

Keep Calm And Watch Your Fave KZbinrs But if I get a female wouldn't they fight a lot? Or will I have to get another cage?

[@keepcalmandwatchyourfaveyo7694]

Joy Aquarium Not sure sorry. I think 2 females might get territorial but 2 males are usually fine. Male and female will mate and be fine (normally)

[@miaow.mystery]

Keep Calm And Watch Your Fave KZbinrs Alright, thanks for the information🙂

[@Rebecca10117]

Joy Aquarium there's a good chance 2 females won't get along well in the same cage. A male and a female most likely won't have babies if you don't have a nesting box, so it should be okay :-)

[@alanilitvinou9670]

are essential oils parakeet safe cuz I have a diffuser and I might get a parakeet

[@HappyTailsAnimals]

Sometimes. There is a Facebook group, essential oils for parrots. You should join

[@catealston9755]

Hi! How old do you think a kid should be to get parakeets? I'm very responsible and LOVE animals!

[@NinaFreya]

I'd say that its most important that you know the care level that parakeet require. Parakeets need lots of play time on a daily basis and need toys, perches, and pellet food bought for them every month or so. Parakeets live 10+ years so you need to make sure you are willing to take care of it for as long as it lives. Parakeets are very fragile creatures and I would definitely not recommend a parakeet for anyone under 10 years old. I got my first parakeets when I was 10 years old but I was very dedicated and had an allowance to buy all the things they needed. Make sure you do a ton of research so you can take care of your parakeet and keep it happy and healthy! Also check your local shelter and see if there are any rescue birds to be adopted before you buy one from a store. Taming your bird can take a while (it took me two months) but your bird will love you if you do it correctly! Hope this helps!

[@GabboTheFabbo]

Could I get them months apart?

[@lynnebass2495]

I dont know if anyone knows but is it safe to feed off the eggs to reptiles? Skinks or snakes?

[@grace2991]

Should I change my bird's cage? I have heard both that you should and that you shouldn't

[@NinaFreya]

You can but I wouldnt recommend it unless you need to because it is too small or broken or something. Putting your bird in a new cage can be very scary and strenuous but if you need to, do!

[@loganbeast9328]

But I saw on you tube that one parakeets it's easyer to tame but is it true that more birds more noise and when u am going to get a parakeet I'm not going to put mirror in the cage please answer pules like your video

[@NinaFreya]

It is easier to tame one parakeet than it is to tame two at once. Two parakeets will make more of a mess and will be louder but 1 parakeet is pretty loud on its own. Hope this helps!

[@loganbeast9328]

Oh thank you

Hi how can you keep one rabbit with out a another rabbit I'm thinking of just getting one but I keep reading that they need a buddy

[@dandelionsky6446]

[@ananimity7332]

I love all your information on pets. If I'm even considering getting a pet I give myself about 30-days to find out what I can about that pet so I know what to do for it and if it's the right pet for me.

I'd like to know if you can provide sources online or books on budgie care? You're the expert, but I need more info I can read.

[@zombiedoll3697]

lillyh444 your local library is your friend. Just check the publishing dates on any books you read as information changes over time. Also never trust one source, as most of what is said is opinion based, so make sure to look for multiple information sources. Also, google is a good place to start, just remember not everything is fact, so shop around.

[@blossombuddies2875]

Ooh these are so cool! I also was happy when not hearing any animal products in their main Food. Are they loud at night? If yes is there a way to stop it? What's a general starter price? You only mentioned Omni/carnivores with pets, do you think a parakeet could be in the same room for out of cage time as a rabbit? The rabbit has a pen that I could put her in for half an hour (in another video it said minimum playtime was 15min) and then if the parakeet is in my room i would also be able to have it out a little during night. How many toys would you say is the minimum for a cage? And is there something you can use other then cuttlebone, I know for my snail using a little Kale and alfalfa hay works for calcium (people use cuttlebone for them) but birds are different. Thanks so much if you reply and for this video anyways. I really want a bird and parakeets seem to be a decent option. Apparently they aren't to loud either unlike all the birds Tyler Rugge owns 😂.

What cage is Barry in?

[@katherinegarcia1662]

I was taught pelleted food is very nutritional for parakeets would you agree?

[@HappyTailsAnimals]

[@rachelralston9678]

Do I need to provide chicks with grit?

[@plowboy19]

you can keep a parakeet alone as long as you spend a lot of time with it

[@HappyTailsAnimals]

you can keep a parakeet alone if you are ok with animal abuse. That's the only real excuse.

[@syd5284]

Happy Tails it's not animal abuse to keep a parakeet alone, if you spend enough time with him/her then it should be fine to keep it alone

[@HappyTailsAnimals]

Do you understand what a social animal is? What experience do you have to be able to say that this is ok? Where did you study animal behavior? As a social animal have you lived in solitary confinement in order to have this opinion? There is a reason that solitary confinement is punishment in jail. Based on your comment you are proving that you do not understand animal behavior at all.

[@syd5284]

Happy Tails I'm aware it's a social animal but it doesn't have to be social with its own kind, it can be social with a human and it will be ok you just have to spend at LEAST an hour with him/her out of the cage a day and talk to him/her throughout the day

[@plowboy19]

depending on the specific animal it might be lonely by itself especially if you don't spend much time with it but most will be fine just with you as long as you spend at least 2 hours with it

[@suber121]

Is it normal if they eat their own eggs.we found empty cracked egg shells in their cage

[@suber121]

Also my bird doesn't have a mate anymore so I socialize with it is that good

[@kg337_7]

What is the bird cage in the background of this video? P.S. I love your videos. Keep up the good work

[@bunnyjihan828]

If two are in the same cage how do they each learn their names since they are both in there?

[@elliot6669]

My parents got me a budgie last year for my birthday it has been over a year and he has no play mate should I ask for a larger cage and another budgie because I may not be allowed?!🙁🙁🙁

[@Faith-zv9xr]

Piggie Love there's no harm in asking! when it comes to asking to buy a bigger cage, don't say 'my cage is too small' but instead say 'i'd like him/her to have to more space'. Also, if you have a birthday coming up, buy a cage from your birthday money :) also, i looked on some other sites and they said you can keep a budgie alone, as long as you provide a lot of time with them (about 2 hours a day)

SuperMarioVids • Be nice! The commenter here is very obviously a kid still as they said "my parents bought me a parakeet". But they are here-watching this video and asking questions, trying to educate themselves on proper animal care so they are obviously NOT an idiot! Also **you're**

[@isabellagaines6868]

SuperMarioVids • depending on who you ask you could keep a budgie on their own

[@faithduncan9663]

Thats ok. You should ask tho, Or consider getting a job. I had a job this summer and nowdays they pay you really well. My boss is shunning me now, but luckily I have enough money to get budgies. I am hoping to. Also try dropling hints.

[@oops-d8393]

What if your parakeet is territorial cuz mine just fights other

[@gracemsaba]

Finally! Thanks so much ur channel is so helpful and I love your videos

[@xoari-sp9zm]

Is it possible for you to make a video on a DIY gerbil or hamster toy? I have a gerbil and she has been very lazy and bored so I was wondering if a toy would get her out of that mood.

[@katportillo8345]

I got a parakeets 5 of them and one of them has no wing on one and so hard to care for them nice info really helps me out

[@Rebecca10117]

Katherine Hernandez ☹️ what happened to his wing?

[@empiatrashcan]

What if I want 2 but i end up with an M and F? We dont have room for baby parakeets :(

[@HappyTailsAnimals]

They can't have babies if you don't let them nest.

[@HollyHummingbirdriver]

Any rescues for parrotlets I want one I have done research

[@steveho9884]

my parakeet put his head of feather what is it?

[@THEE.apples]

Can you make a care video on conures. I'm thinking of getting a crimson bellied conure.

[@callummurphy3693]

I have 2 budgies and I had got 2 from a pet shop and 1 died after 2 weeks of owning so then I bought another 1 and it was hand tamed and fed and after 3 months they both eat from my hand since yesterday

[@jorgecanales798]

I kinda gained my budgies’ trust a day after I got them. They were parent raised, and they are pretty cheap. Mine were a total of $25 USD with my 2 budgies, a cage and a bag of seeds. I removed the plastic perches and added natural wooden perches. They trust me enough to step up to my finger

[@joshuavelasquez4425]

Is a cage with 0.5 spacing good or no cause ima about to bit a cage from eBay that's $65.80

[@sagegibson9873]

LOVE your makeup And bye the way we found 2 baby chicks (new born's) in a nest with no mother so have any tips we think they are Blue Jays

[@HappyTailsAnimals]

+Sage Gibson thank you! Song birds leave the nest to go find food for the babies. This is very normal. I hope you didnt disturb the nest. If you did contact your local wildlife rescue so that they can take them in. Next time leave them be, you only harm them by interfering.

[@sagegibson9873]

thank you so much for the advice

[@sagegibson9873]

And the mom has not been in it's nest for a few days now and the nest was also nocked over and it fell on to rocks 1 of them died because of it

[@callummurphy3693]

I have 2 budgies but 1 was sick when we bought him so he died then we got a new cage mate and their happy
