@@avfc666s if you buy the bark ready for use, it’s important that it’s not treated with harmful chemicals. If you gather bark yourself, you can clean it with products that do not harm your birds (just hot water or water with vinegar). It also helps to dry it in the sun because the sun kills off molds. The main goal is that there are no harmful insects and substances in the bark :)

Thank you very much.

@@kittybudgie I’m sure they will love it! 🥰

Haha yeah, they’re very sensitive animals! Right now ours are scared because of heavy wind and rain 😋 Your comment reminds me of when I showed a strawberry to Misty and Blue when they were young. They ran away as fast as they could 😂

@@ajithkanna he was observing the phone 😋

🤗🥰♥️

@@misty_blue 💞

@@kyfulton21 no it was built by a company. It was this model: www.macdanielkennels.nl/shop/voliere-toon-links-622#attr=115

@@ajithkanna it means a lot to me to hear that 😊 I miss making videos about birds but circumstances have kept me from doing so. I have ideas for videos but I haven’t been able to make time for it. I find it a pity because I really enjoyed making content for the Misty & Blue community but unfortunately I have too many other responsibilities. I hope one day I can make videos again!

​@@misty_bluesure you will do it definitely✌🤝

@@ahumman yeah we do the same. On short trips they stay home and on long trips we bring them. I hope you can rebuild your bond with her soon!

@@misty_blue thx

@@Gracie-crochets our birds have also had that. Especially when there’s stormy weather, they often get scared at night. I’m not quite sure why some budgies have those night scares 🤔 Is it very dark in their room? I’ve seen some people who put a night light and it helped calm down their birds

Usually the street lights Shine abit through the Curtain but we do live in an industrial area so it might have been something that got knocked over out side but I will try a night light. thank you

@@Gracie-crochets yeah noises are another thing that can scare them. I hope you find the solution!

Based on my search crepe myrtle is safe. People do recommend avoiding smaller branches that had flowers because they could cause issues. But the other branches are fine. The other myrtle types are seen as unsafe but crepe myrtle is an exception.

I recommend first learning a lot about breeding budgies. It’s not easy to take care of baby budgies, so it’s important to know what you’re doing

@@kingkaizer6281 that’s so cute 🥰 He must really love his fresh water 😋

@@misty_blue He does! 🥰 He also really likes Bloody Mary from Lady Gaga 😂

@@kingkaizer6281 wow haha. A bird with an interesting taste 😋

@@LeeirahBrashka my pleasure 😊 Glad to hear your budgie is happy 💛

@@MontyPsych-pj9eq is she the only budgie you have? Maybe she’s calling for other budgies because she is longing for interaction with them

Sounds familiar haha

@@MissusAnon true! That‘s a great tip 😄 Much easier and also less ugly 😋

@@Vepparia I’m sorry to hear about your budgies passing away! It can happen that the budgie that’s left behind gets quite sad. Maybe it helps your birds feel happier and more comfortable if you try a training routine (either click training or training with millet sprays). You can start very carefully, just spending time with them, offering them millet sprays without getting too close or making sudden movements. Some people also let their budgies have two small separate cages if they do not like sharing their cage. Maybe it sounds silly, but my budgies also like it when I sing to them 😋 And they are very happy when I give them cork wood to chew and when they have high places to sit (they feel safe somewhere high). So I place perches or cages somewhere high in the room. I hope you find out what works for your birds!

@@misty_blue ohh thanks thanks, ill try click training them tho i doubt they'll listen lol

@@Vepparia lol 😂 It’s ok if they don’t listen though. The main point is that they get attention and start feeling more comfortable 😊

@@misty_blue lmao yeah ill get started tmrw

@@SaltbushBudgies-uo2jb they do! Really nothing gets past them 😋

@@gdl357g Glad to hear! 😊 Yeah, although they do have their individual personalities, they all have similar body language and behaviours 😋

@@ivanwesteurope a flat.

@@GoldenNoodle6 I don’t know about lovebirds but budgies do not live/sleep in nests. They sleep on the highest perches to be safe from predators. I definitely don’t give our birds a nest because they will breed even though they shouldn’t. Budgies are very cold resistant but if lovebirds are tropical birds they might feel cold - I don’t know about that.

@@misty_blue Ok Thanks anyways

Thanks for the advice!

Aww, it means a lot to me to hear that 🥹 I want to make another video but I’m kind of in a dilemma. It’s been a very busy time full of change and I haven’t been able to make time for long videos. I need to see what I can do 🤔 It would make me very sad not to make long videos for Misty & Blue.

@@misty_blue dont worry, take your time

Yeah, some people use it. Some downsides could be that it’s quite costly and it can get messy.

They are such sweet, innocent creatures 🥰

Thanks for your kind words 😊 Bark chips sounds lovely too. I love the smell of wood 😊

Thanks for the advice 😋 I tend to forget about the gloves 😂

True! Sometimes it’s illness as well

Ours too 😂

Good point! In that sense budgies aren’t so loud.

Merci beaucoup! 😊

🤣

I’m so glad to hear that! ☺️

Exactly 😂

Thanks ☺️🤗

Hm yeah, I can imagine that it gets quite messy with paper in an aviary. I think both orchid bark and coconut husk have potential. Most importantly, they should be high quality and not treated with chemicals. And I think it’s best when the pieces are not too small or stringy (I once had it that a bird’s wing got stuck in thread 😨 Thank God she’s fine though). Our birds were always playing with the wood chips in the aviary, so I noticed it was best when the pieces were medium/large size and they didn’t come with toxic elements. Hope you find a good alternative for your aviary! 😊

@@misty_blue That's really good advice. I'm striving to make things nicer. In my local store they sell apple wood and maple wood chips for kindling bbq advertising that they are non toxic and safe to use for cooking so I was thinking they would be fine for the budgies. Any thoughts?

That sounds like a good idea since it’s also considered safe for humans to cook with 😊 And apple and maple wood are both safe for budgies.

My pleasure! 😊 Hope your conure likes it!

@@misty_blue He loved it!💛

Great! 😊

That sounds scary 😯 I’m glad to hear your budgie is ok though! Maybe you can cover the gap somehow so your bird is safe 😊

Hmmm, sounds interesting 🧐 I suspect it’s that it tries to show some dominance because by nature it feels vulnerable so it wants to hide that by screaming. Like it’s warning you before and after that it’s stronger than it might look. At least, I’ve seen them do similar things where they try to dominate each other 😋

Thanks for the tip! 😊 I hadn’t thought about using plastic but it makes sense!

Glad to hear! 😊 It does make quite a difference because they tend to leave many unopened seeds at the bottom 😋

It might help if you give her more things to do, like foraging or chew toys or some cork wood to chew on. It can also help when you start training them daily so they become less nervous.

Glad to have amused you 🙂‍↕️

Thanks for the helpful advice! ☺️

Gladly done! 😁 I hope your budgies will have a lot of fun! 🥰

@@misty_blue oh and I don't have the string that you used to hang it do you know where to get some? The strings that you used for hanging and tightening
