Zebra finch chills out in my workspace!

[@JUMALATION1]

The "beak clicking" is a sign that a zebra finch is comfortable and feels safe :) my zebra finches do it all the time, especially nearby their nest.

[@fradsou]

+JUMALATION1 Thanks for the "beak clicking" info that explains why Pepe also often clicks his beak when he's in his nest with his eyes shut, and also sometimes when I talk to him in a soft low voice!

[@lukasketeljuric9909]

Mine does that allways when im around

[@emilyannfrancesmay3919]

He looks so relaxed! That is trust.

[@fradsou]

You are right! :) Thanks for watching! :)

[@oraziogrinzosi1110]

Pepe BEST BIRD!

[@fradsou]

Thank you! :-))

[@KarenSequen]

I love your bird pepe he is so beautiful

[@fradsou]

+Karen Sequen Thank you for your very nice comment! :))

[@carrtnibbler2678]

This is absolutely adorable!!! Thumbs up for Pepe👍. I newly tamed my zebra finch and he can finnaly perch to my finger. i'm hoping he'll just be like Pepe a well trained zebra finch. 😀

[@fradsou]

Thank you so very much!!! Glad to hear that your zebra finch perches on your finger. Since he is a social bird, over time he will interact with you even more. :))

[@sweetheartdash]

How did u train ur finch... Plz help me... I bought juzt one pair n now it is 10... Still none is coming close to me... Wat cn be done??

[@leob4878]

Looks like he's gone high tech there. Also, sending out a voice message too. So happy you 2 are ok.

[@fradsou]

+Leo B Yup, Pepe's gone high tech, and we now have disputes on who gets to use the computer - HaHa! I hope that you and your zebra finch family are also doing well!

[@leob4878]

+fradsou Oh, we're doing alright here. I'm going into great strides in finding Pumpkin a room mate to play with. The store runs out as quickly as they receive new ones. What a headache too. Well, when ever Pepe begins using the phone place a lock on it or else your bills will sky rocket for sure. hahahaha. My best to you both my friends.

[@RPPLZ_Gaming]

Imagine if he doodoo everywhere around his workspace

[@samimchowdhury1326]

Love you Pepe

[@bohdanaholub2194]

Lovely 😍but is everything ok with his leg?

[@fradsou]

In this video, Pepe was recovering from a joint injury with his left leg that did heal significantly to the point that he got back to resuming his active lifestyle of building numerous nests and also being extremely territorial. Thanks for watching! :)

[@limeowz5966]

Pepe is such a cutie pie!!

[@fradsou]

Thanks for appreciating Pepe so much!!!

[@MaxibooAlvin]

love!!!!! pepe is too cute!!

[@fradsou]

+DIYDummies Thanks :-))

[@HunterFilmsYTOfficialYouTube]

1:06 Our finches do that, It's completely normal.

[@greekcarduelisandzebrafinc2689]

I have a zebra finch too called''Joshephine''! ♥ And she does the same things like yours =)

[@fradsou]

I am happy to hear that you are enjoying the fun and interesting antics of Joshephine that are quite similar to those of Pepe's! =)

[@DevilSad666]

The zebra finch its more happy with a other friend (other finch).... Is the biology of this beautiful little birds. Please try to have it in company. (its an opinion). I like very much your videos.

[@fradsou]

Thanks for watching and liking Pepe's videso! :)

[@juliakay3508]

I

[@fradsou]

Thanks for your wonderful feedback, and also for your interest in wanting to see more videos of Pepe! Glad to know you have zebra finches. They are so much fun to have since they are such busy little birds, and very interesting to watch as they go about their daily business. They do tend to be very skittish in the beginning when you first get them, but they do eventually warm-up towards you as they get more and more familiar with you. Wish you all the best with your zebra finches!

[@Dougy]

I think one of our finches might lay an egg any ideas how to take care of them the best? The cage isn't pretty big nor small but and we have two nestz one that covers almost everything but one hole and one that it is half a circle. but they only use the half circle one. We are new to birds but we know a little bit about them but not about the babies

[@fradsou]

Sorry - My personal experience with finches is limited to just being a caretaker for Pepe Caliente, and therefore I lack the expertise to properly advise you on questions in regard to egg laying and taking care of babies. If your finch question is related to Zebra Finches, then I would recommend checking out a book by Hans J. Martin - Zebra Finches (Barron's Complete Pet Owner's Manuals) that can be purchased at the amazon.com website. Wish you all the best with your finch family :-)

[@christophermarroquin957]

i love pepe so mush he is so cute

[@fradsou]

Thanks for watching Pepe's videos, and your wonderful comment! :))

[@gir489returns2]

Has he ever pooped on your workspace while you're using it?

[@fradsou]

Yes, every now and then, in which case I just clean it up. Thanks for watching! :)

[@samimchowdhury1326]

My hero Pepe ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@liilrozey7976]

He/she looks so cute

[@fradsou]

I think so too :-) Thanks for watching Pepe's videos!

[@1ztype343]

great channel

[@fradsou]

+Nightmare Bomb1999 Thank You!!

[@1ztype343]

fradsou your very welcome your zebra finch and fradsou

[@kingsatan2624]

Very nice video. I have a white zebra finch, and a gouldian finch that I release in my room. Are you going to get a mate for your bird?

[@fradsou]

+Stingray Ocean Hi - Thanks for your nice comment! :-) Your finches are lucky that you release them in your room so that they can fly about and really stretch their wings! To answer your question, I have no plans to get Pepe a mate because he is now up there in age (8+ years) for a zebra finch, and also he has grown accustomed to having the room all to himself!

[@kingsatan2624]

Cool..I didn't know they live that long. You inspired me to let them fly around. Thank you so much :)

[@fradsou]

+Stingray Ocean You're welcome! Regarding how long zebra finches could possibly live, you can check out the utube video "Tom, The Australian Zebra Finch" of a zebra finch that lived from 2001-2014, and another utube video "Gussy's Friends" of a zebra finch that lived for 15 years!!

[@itsacat6578]

pepe is so cute , mine is also but he doesn't come near me😢he is so👹👹😈😈

[@fradsou]

I agree zebra finches are so cute! I think that eventually when your finch gets used to you, he will come near you on his own, just like Pepe did with me. When I first got him, he also was scared of me.

[@samuelhussain8377]

fradsou hey do u still have pepe?

[@fradsou]

Appreciate you being a great fan of Pepe Caliente!! I recently got requests for new videos of him from several other fans of his, and so I have started working on a new one with the intention of releasing it sometime this month.

[@Tabs-AR]

How they are so friendly with u share trick??

[@fradsou]

Pepe is friendly with me because I’ve been his caretaker for 12 years. I have done nothing special to alter his behavior which is entirely that of his own making. Being a social bird, he likes to interact with me by staying very close to me or on me; but even so, it is only on his own terms and only when he feels like it. When he is in his territorial mood, he will peck me if I touch his stuff or he will warn me if I get too close to his stuff, which is pretty much everything in his room - lol. Thanks for watching his video! :)

[@clash3583]

he is so fuzzy

[@fradsou]

You’re so right - Pepe looks really fuzzy when he’s resting and all fluffed up! Thanks for watching! :)

[@djatmikorasid123]

How way make the bird tame?

[@fradsou]

I actually did nothing special to tame Pepe! His behavior is really that of his own making! It’s just that I’ve been his caretaker for a long time (12 years), and so he has grown accustomed to my presence, especially since I spend lots of time in his room because my main computer is in it, and I also read books and do my guitar practicing in there. He interacts with me on his own accord, and so when he feels like bonding with me, he will come on me to preen or take a nap or just chirp away. When he is in his territorial mood, he won’t let me touch his stuff, which is pretty much every thing in his room, including my stuff - Lol. Thanks for watching! :)

[@xtrapzntox5514]

When I take out a male finch from the cage, he usually plays dead, hehe.

[@fradsou]

+xTrapzNTOx Yeah, finches tend to play dead whenever they are held. Whenever I have to hold Pepe in my hand to untangle nesting material caught on his feet, he also tends to play dead by laying completely motionless!

[@magicme4826]

I am really sad😢my female finch flew and now the male is alone. I just wanted to ask if he can live alone.😞

[@fradsou]

Sorry to hear that your female finch flew away:( Your male finch can live alone, provided you are able to give him lots of attention so that he won’t get lonely; otherwise it would be best to get him a companion. From your reply, it sounds like you really love finches, so spending lots of time with your male finch shouldn’t be an issue! :)

[@LilChibii]

What happened to Pepe's left foot? It looks like he's limping on it :( Hope he's ok!

[@fradsou]

You correctly noticed that in the video Pepe has a problem with his left foot. In this particular video, Pepe had just dislocated a joint in his left foot that has since healed significantly; however, he sometimes does have difficulty scratching himself with his left foot, but that hasn’t stopped him from being his usual self in actively building new nests and being extremely territorial. Thanks for watching Pepe’s videos, and for your genuine concern in his well being! :-))

[@Tryinglittleleg]

Keep em coming

[@fradsou]

+Tryinglittleleg Thanks for watching and for your interest in wanting to see more videos :) Sorry for the late reply - I don't know why your comment went into the spam folder. Anyway, I cleared your comment today :)

[@Tryinglittleleg]

+fradsou thanks mate!

[@tr3nta345]

Im thinking about getting a zebra finch or a budgie, are finches sociable or really hard to tame when already older ?

[@tr3nta345]

And do i need big groups or a couple or can i just keep one if im going to spend time with it everyday ?

[@fradsou]

Finches are sociable, and so the more time you spend with them, the more comfortable they will get with you regardless of their age.

[@fradsou]

You can keep just one bird if you are able to spend time with them everyday. Birds being sociable do need company, preferably another bird; but a human can also be a good substitute like in my case with Pepe Caliente.

[@idontknow956]

i have a zebra finch too, nut she is still scared and we can't get her out of the cage :(

[@fradsou]

Glad to hear that you also have a zebra finch because they are such fun pets! Pepe used to also be afraid to come out of his cage. He'd come to the entrance of his cage door and then go back inside. Eventually he did get the courage to come out and stay out for longer and longer periods of time. Now he mostly goes in just to eat, drink water and to sleep at night. The interesting thing is that when I have guests over who want to see him, he will often go inside his cage because that's where he feels the most safe. I think that your finch will also eventually venture out of the comfort zone of its cage. By the way, thanks for watching Pepe Caliente's videos!

[@chloebull3967]

this so CUTE

[@fradsou]

Thanks Again for watching Pepe’s videos! :))

[@chloebull3967]

thanks for replying to my comment and by the way I hope pepe is ok :3

[@hanasyed3884]

hey I love your channel and u haven't been uploading for a while... is pepe ok?

[@fradsou]

Hi - Glad to know you love my channel! You're right - I am way overdue in releasing some new Pepe videos. I'll get started on some new ones, and hopefully release them this month. Thanks for showing interest in seeing new videos of Pepe! :))

[@hanasyed3884]

fradsou ok thanks!

[@fradsou]

I just uploaded a new video of Pepe!

[@carrtnibbler2678]

How old is Pepe now?

[@fradsou]

9 years. Since you showed interest in a new Pepe video, I thought you would like to know that I just uploaded a new video of Pepe!

[@carrtnibbler2678]

Woah! you have took good care of him! plus+ I'm going to see the video. :)

[@angelas.m785]

where is pepe?

[@fradsou]

He is hiding under the MacBook Pro :)

[@taaha136]

How old pepe

[@fradsou]

+Taaha 6592 Thanks for watching Pepe's video :) I have been taking care of him since January 14th, 2008, and so he is now over 8 years old.

[@taaha136]

+fradsou My Zebra Finch have 3 Year Old i am From Bangladesh but i living in Spain

[@Tryinglittleleg]

How old is Pepe?

[@fradsou]

I have been Pepe's caretaker since January 14th, 2008 when he was about 2 months old I think because even though he had the full coloring of a male zebra finch, his zebra striped tail feathers had not yet been developed. So to answer your question, Pepe is now about 8 years and 8 months old.

[@Tryinglittleleg]

+fradsou gee wiz that's pretty old for Zebbies!

[@sparksthedaytrader9606]

Probably because happiness causes a longer life span :)

[@1ztype343]

more videos please 👍🐦

[@fradsou]

+Nightmare Bomb1999 Thanks for your interest in wanting to see more videos! :D

[@1ztype343]

fradsou​ I love that little Pepe

[@notablediscomfort]

[@christophermarroquin957]

could you plz make new vidoes

[@fradsou]

Thanks for reminding me that I am due to make some new videos on Pepe! I better get busy :-)

[@mondraymondo]

Ohh is pepe a female? Its like she likes to pretend nesting

[@fradsou]

Pepe has the following typical characteristics of a male zebra finch; bright orange cheeks, white speckled brown feathers and a black band across his breast. So, in answer to your question: Pepe is a male zebra finch. In general, male birds do build nests primarily for their comfort and safety, and in the wild to also attract females. In Pepe’s case, his favorite pastime is building numerous nests in his room. Thanks for watching! :)
