I just rescued a lutino cockatiel from and abusive aviary, there was this old man who clearly did not care about the birds at all. He had stuffed a tiny backyard aviary with breeding boxes and then left the birds there to breed so that he could make money. They had no water bowls at all and there was only one other perch other that the ones on the breeding box. In total there were 11 cockatiels one of which was a baby, there was this amazing woman who found them by accident and bought all of them to home until they were sold. She created an amazing an enriching environment for them and then help nurse them back to health while she was selling them. Sadly when she went to pick up the baby it was dead and the youngest, a lutino, had had her head feathers plucked bare and one of her wings was bleeding, this was chickpea the cockatiel I rescued. I've had a budgie for 3 years and wanted to get her a friend and I felt I couldn't just leave chickpea there because she was being rejected by a bunch of other people because of her feather loss. Brought her home and she is so sweet, sadly she is scared of large spaces so even though we bought her a flight cage she prefers to sleep in the smaller travel cage that we brought her home in. her wings were clipped really far up and they were done with those crinkle craft scissors so she is very off balanced but she is happy and healthy and recovering quickly, she loves training and is so curious, and she my little miracle

[@emersonrockell7025]

@@friendlyghost8293 I have watched it and I didn't buy them from the breeder directly, I'm friends with someone who rescues birds and she also bought the breeding pair from this particular person because the breeder didn't care, he just wanted money, he is no longer breeding but I do agree, that in general buying birds from bad breeders is a bad idea.😊

If you know cat body language, you can tell the cat's tail is flicking from side to side, they do that when they're about to hunt a prey, attack, or mad. So that cat is showing a huge sign that she/he is ready to attack or possibly hurt the bird because of the tail flicking from side to side. Just people, if you have a prey species of animals, DO NOT let them come in contact with a predator species of animals! It's not cute, it's dangerous.

Another issue with the family buying the bird is that you should get the cage and everything before and set everything up in advance to minimize stress for the bird. The less time in the box the better. Also please get at least 2 budgies!

[@Chifly-te5vc]

I wanted to get two buggies from the pet store (I would adopt but the closest parakeet is 70 miles away) but they alway have mixed batches and they don’t know the genders. I did *not* want to end up accidentally breeding two.

[@PiedraDeIjada]

@@Chifly-te5vc yikes that is bad. They should be able to tell them apart. So they either are badly trained or the budgies are a bit young. Also essentially you don't need to worry about breeding as long as you make sure the female can't settle down in a dark, cavelike place. I have 3 males and 3 females and so far no issues with eggs. The two pairs mate quite a bit, especially in spring, but that never resulted in eggs.

[@LittleEarth7]

I would have but I inherited my 2 budgies a couple of weeks ago after they were being passed from pillow to post. I’m learning as I go along. A quick question while I’m here; at the moment their cage is taller than it is wide and I know I need to get the opposite, how would I get them into a new cage? They arent comfortable with me yet even though they are now flying out of their cage (I leave it open so they can get some exercise) and will go back in at bed time, but they still get nervous when I put my hand in the cage. Should I wait until they are used/comfortable with me before I get a new cage?

[@PiedraDeIjada]

@@LittleEarth7 that's a difficult one, I never had that specific situation. I'd say it is probably better to allow them to get settled first. Since they get a lot of time out of the cage it should not be super urgent to replace it. Especially since they were passed around a lot they need a feeling of stability. When they are comfortable you can introduce changes, such as a better suited cage.

[@LittleEarth7]

@@PiedraDeIjada thanks for replying. Yeah, I’ll wait a few weeks I think. I’m glad they feel safe enough to come out of the cage. It’ll give me chance to educate myself about budgies. I’ve found out they love apple, but not spinach, which I thought they’d love... I’ll keep trying with it though. Their diet was pretty poor before they came here.again, thanks for replying 😊

[@arinalish3440]

I dont know if you did a video or explained this but where do your birds sleep?

[@Luv.Gracee]

If you have a pet bird,they sleep on perches, but if you get a platform (that’s made out of wood) the bird would usually sleep there too. But if you have a dark area for your bird take it out of their cage, they get hormonal and aggressive. And if you have a female bird, and a happy hut (or any dark spaces) they can lay eggs. So it’s very important to not have a dark corner/happy hut in the cage. Yes, it’s fine to cover the cage at night with a light blanket/ sheet. But some birds don’t like the blanket on them, so just make sure your bird is fine with the blanket! :)

[@lizziehn5928]

Could be hormones or territorial aggression that was left unchecked. I would suggest trying to figure out the cause (if it only happens around a certain area, to certain people, etc) and working on training through that. For example, if it were cage aggression, you will want to have the bird out as often as possible and away from the cage. Removing the cage from the equation will help decrease biting and other protective tendencies -- as a lot of birds get defensive around their food and water. Overall, I would really suggest practicing target training and positive reinforcement. Don't punish the bird if it bites, but be sure to reward it when it doesn't. Best of luck!

hi i'm getting a Conure soon and was wondering if you have any starter tips? i have two budgies and i dont know how well they'll get along.

[@lizziehn5928]

- Conures are energetic lil dudes! I'd definitely try getting some little balls with bells they can move around and grab. Foraging toys will do well too. - Biting! Conures can have a tendency to bite to communicate "no" or to play/get your attention. This is pretty normal for them. - Terrible twos. Most green cheeks are given up once they hit puberty, unfortunately. This is due to their notoriously difficult maturing stage, expect bites and and territorial behavior. However, with training and/or patience, you will get through this! - Introducing them to other birds will be a little difficult, so I'd suggest keeping them apart at first. If you give one a treat, give the others a treat. If you see a fight breaking out, do your best to separate them. Best of luck!

[@crimsonlegault3918]

My new Budgie is 7 months old and has been in our house for 3 weeks and he is really comfortable in stepping up but doesn't want to come outside. He tries to squeeze through the bars at different times of the day. I AM REALLY CONFUSED. Any advice?

[@lizziehn5928]

I would open the cage up and allow him to come out on his own, maybe with some treats near the exit to act as persuasion. He will need some time to get used to his environment, even if you've had him for three weeks already. Best of luck!

Hi, Elle. I have a question. I do understand you are not a vet but you have lots of experience and I need help. My bird is constantly lifting her wing to ensure her comfort. We are taking her to the vet but I want to know what home remedies would be best..?

I wouldn't say there are any home remedies besides re-arranging her cage to make moving around easier. Hope all goes well D:

i have two cats and one bird, when i’m sleeping the cats are in the room w me (with the door shut) and the bird is outside in his cage, during the day when hes out the cats are also out but they’re never left alone and the reason is bc i read that the more curious the cats are about the bird the more chance they’ll suddenly attack so i’m trying to just get them used to the birds presence and him as well but other than that we never leave them alone in the same place unsupervised, do u have any tips? should i continue what im doing or is this a mistake?

[@lizziehn5928]

I would suggest not letting your cats in your room while your bird is out, if that's the only location your bird can go to. It's the safest for the bird and you can still have your cats there!

[@haxmeow5019]

@@lizziehn5928 my bird can go anywhere but hes a cockatiel so he rarely ever flies or goes to an area where im not there bc hes so clingy so whenever hes out hes just on me or another family member, and i just let the cats roam freely too bc they usually just sleep. but when hes like alone on a chair or something i close the door and don’t let the cats in

[@jesiahperez3813]

I got a important question if your sick is it safe to be around your bird

[@lizziehn5928]

Yes, just make sure other people wash their hands before and after interacting with said bird.

[@schloofers]

Hey! I saw your video about 10 things not to do. I have 2 budgies and I’m a beginner bird owner. I want to take my budgies out of their cage more but they’re deathly terrified of us and they’ll fly away from us. How can we slowly get their trust to be able to ket them out of the cage?

[@lizziehn5928]

Patience, positive reinforcement, and personal space will be your three keys to success! Patience - Not everything will go according to plan at first, but that's okay! Birds (especially small prey species) will take time to trust humans. Don't give up! Positive reinforcement - Be sure to reward your bird with praise or treats if they make progress! This can include when they're calm, if they come up to you, or if they land on you in a desired location. Millet can work pretty well as a treat, just make sure they don't have much of it in their normal diet. Personal space - While you don't want to give up, you WILL want to respect your bird's wishes through it's body language. If it doesn't want to be touched, don't touch it. If it doesn't want to interact, pause on the interaction for a bit. This will help prevent you from getting bitten and your bird from stressing out much further. Additionally, you can try out different forms of training (target and/or clicker) as a fun bonding activity. Best of luck taming your new friend!

[@lizziehn5928]

I would try giving Blu treats when he's on or near the playset. Ember should see him getting treats and want to join in, eventually building up the confidence to. You'll get there!

I need help. I cant find pellets anywhere where i live.....i dont like to say it, but i live in a slightly under developed country and ppl just feed seeds to their birds. Is their any other food that i can use as a base diet?

[@lizziehn5928]

I would suggest doing a lot of research into diets to have the best alternative diet possible -- one that gives them all the nutrients and protein they need to thrive. You'll definitely want to have a homemade seed mix for better coverage, as well as sprouts, legumes, and various types of veggies. Best of luck!

hi Elle, we have just found an injured budgie outside of our house. we have kept it in a cardboard box and it is not eating or drinking, please tell us what to do.

[@lizziehn5928]

They won't eat or drink if they're stressed or believe a predator is watching them. If you have a travel carrier or cage-like obejct, I'd use that instead of a box -- budgies can chew through cardboard. Do your best to get the word out that you've found a budgie D: Good luck!
