- In this different style of video I show how I train my budgie Blueberry to play with toys and how it translates to ALL varieties of toys! Look how destructive one little budgie can get! GET MY TINY TOY BOX FOR TINY BIRDS HERE: birdtricksstore.com/products/...
Budgies are often overlooked but they are just as smart as the medium and large birds and should be given the same attention and devotion to behavior and training.

Blueberry: Must. Have. All. The. Millet! **races around like a maniac**
Budgies are so friendly and forgiving and they love everybody. Smart, cute, and fast! I'd have several again if I could **peers at cat grandpa**
PS: As far as I'm concerned I like everything you two do. Getting bored is just not possible :)
Thank you!
That was so amazing. Mine won't come to me outside the cage. But feed from my hand and fly to me only inside the cage. Tips welcome.....why they never come to me outside the cage. Thanks xx
@@samanehtasham That's hard to say because we don't know your bird. We can't see how they behave towards you. Either birdy flys for freedom, because of fear or the outside is just more entertaining than you. You could try to use a play stand, making that the most interesting thing. At least you could reach your bird and try to train them then.
i know Im kinda randomly asking but does anybody know of a good site to watch newly released tv shows online?
@@samanehtasham A way to get your bird out just have your parakeet perch on your finger and hold the millet and slowly take it out, but if your parakeet ever comes out the cage give it millet so it knows "Oh! I get rewarded when i come out" so it comes out often, thats how my parakeets soon liked coming out the cage, hope this helped 💗
I love how each bird has such a big personality and they're all so smart!
Yeah they are all amazing
Parrots/hookbills are a very personable order of birds with that signature face seen in all parrotkind.
Omggggg when blueberry sits on Jamie's shoulder at the start!!!! So small awwww
I enjoyed watching the whole training session. More please.
I second this! Great video, and Blueberry is adorable 💙
Yeah , I would love to see more of Blueberry too pls!
100% Agree
Me too!
Yes, adorable!
Blueberry is such a cutie and reminds me of my active boy, Homie. I recently got my first birds (budgies named Homie and Mama) from a "free to good home" post. We've upgraded their small cage to a flight cage with better toys and got them switched over to a mostly fresh chop diet. They're (VERY) slowly getting used to my hands in the cage and they're learning what bathing is. I'm using tons of ideas from your channels over the years but these Blueberry videos are extra helpful! 💙💙
I had a question hiw did you get your bird to alternate to chop my bird wont
This makes me feel better about how my budgies get distracted during training too :')
Same!
blueberry was like ma I‘m not into destroying furnitures right now, but if you insist.
Millet: the hot fudge sundae of the bird world.
😂🤣🤣
I really enjoyed this. Especially seeing exactly how long it takes her to respond; gives me a much clearer idea on how to work with a bird. Thank you!
Was just about to say the exact same thing!
I'm glad, thanks!
Oh, I vastly prefer the unedited full session recording! That Blueberry is so darn cute!
No one whatsoever:
BirdTricks: Try stabbing the toy and putting yummy treats in the *STAB WOUNDS*
whaaat? can you speak english ?
@@fuckyougoogle555 rude.
Love this. But would love to see a video of a budgie who is doing this type of training for the very first time. Blueberry is too smart lol 💕
Yesh Same
Am I the only one whose budgies LOVE oat groats??? They like it even more than millet for training. Millet tends to make them act like crackheads; they start fight for it then they get distracted. I’ve taught them how to do a paw shake, step up, kiss, do a 360 turn and hang upside down. It’s so cute when they both do it at the same time, like a circus show.
Also watching the training was so relaxing, your bird is very quiet and patient. 💕
Do they eat raw oat groats or cooked?
I really enjoyed watching this style. Glad to know I’m not the only one who says “bless you” to their birds.
Oh, so small and lovely.😭😭
I love the real-time training. Sounds silly but I have struggled with how to give a treat to my budgie and this helped a lot, especially seeing that you just wait patiently for Blue to eat the freebies. Thanks Jamie!
You make it all look so easy then im at home with trial and error lol but as u said patience and consistency so i keep at it and officially got one of my biter budgies to quit biting !!!! Thanks for all you do !
Awh blueberry is so tiny💙
Hey I love watching capri play with the birds I am a special needs adult and I love watching birds
Omg! She’s so cute! I love this video,shares detailed training of consistency really pays off. Birds are sooo smart.
What a smart budgie 😍
I love seeing your videos with blueberry!! It’s super helpful to see how your large bird training can transfer over to budgies, as well as what differs x
So helpful. Helped me feel like I’m on the right track and helped me see other budgie behavior like the distracted pecking for millet! Validating for me as a new bird owner. More like this please! Thank you 🙏
Your work with Blueberry shows your immense patience in training your birds. And she’s having such a great time. Never a dull moment for both of you. So lovely to see. Thanks 🙏
I love the idea of you doing more of these. Especially if you have a super flighty bird who doesn’t want to engage as much. Maybe the conures? Yeah, it would be a lot of waiting, a lot more than in this video, but sometimes it’s difficult to recognise when to persevere with something and when to just accept that your bird isn’t interested. I remember you had one who was very interested in training and one who was the complete opposite, so it would be really fun to see a session with the least interested bird.
You're right about conures. With mine I have to put the toy on its bird tree within view of its cage for a day or so, then let it be alone on the cage with the option to go near the toy if it wants. Rinse and repeat a bit and then it might be ready for training with the toy...
@@benjaminlabarge4899 The reason I mentioned the conures specifically is that they never seem to stay still long in the bird tricks videos LOL :-). I know from experience that the busier your bird, the more difficult it can be to get them to focus on a session.
Blueberry is so cute! I am not a bird person, but I love her!
@Jessie Ely. Yep I think you're a bird person now!
Mackenzie Harper no need to get snarky, when did they ever say they were subscribed?
I’m not a bird person as in I don’t want to own one. I never said I didn’t enjoy learning about them.
@Jessie Ely, didn't mean to offend. I'm kind of in the same boat as you are. Never had any, never appreciated them much, but now seeing how to relate to them via these videos, I'm sorry I didn't discover them sooner.
Robert Hibbert no worries! You may want a bird, and I am way want one in the future. Just not right now.
That might just be the calmest budgie I've ever seen
I have two lorikeet (6 months old) and the training it's a struggle! So raw sesion seems like blessing.
What a nice little budgie! On the other hand, my four budgies are BRATS. They do whatever they want - and they know I'll always just feed them and cuddle them. They rule the room - but they pretty much stay on their cage (and my cockatiel's cage). They "know" the cage is "their space" - and they know any playpens are "their space"; other than that, they aren't fond of perching on non-avian places like the TV, the curtain rod, hanging framed pictures, etc.
My favorite part of the video is hearing blueberry eating the mullet seeds x3 just cute little nibbles
She is smart. She bites a clump of seeds off and then has a chance to do some grazing for the few that fall on the sheet. If you watch vids of wild parakeets you see them grazing through grasses in the outback.
Making a trick out of tunneling through my relaxed hand would mean losing one functional hand. My Green Cheek Conure would find that loophole and NEVER stop!
Omg Blueberry looks so cute and innocent😭❤️ he’s so tiny! The intelligence though!!
3:07 and now I want a budgie
😂😘❤love you birdtricks
My parakeet is soo sweet when she wants to be if you have a bird you know what i am taking about but just get it on a no seed deit and tran i would get a flight cage of of amazon and so good forageing toys and stainless-steel bowls and try to ovoid any dolwood perches get some thick sticks from out side or buy natural wood perches and also go check out the channel live laugh bird ella and the bird she has help me so much with the smaller birds and i hope this helps
Blueberry moves so fast!
Omg i love the crunch of the treats seads... it's adorable.
Yay. This will be so helpful with my albino budgie. Snowy will target train but is the snippiest/pecky birb.
I wish there were videos like this back when I had my own parakeet many, many, moons ago. I think our bird would have been much happier if we knew more back then. Thanks for these videos!
Out of all the birds you show blueberry is my favorite
Blueberry is such a cutie bird.
blue berry is so cute.more pls
I love how small blueberry is
The two tail feathers are so darn cute!
Thank you for showing that Budgies are not beginner birds, because none are! It is just the education of the people and fitting personalities.
I think it's great that you are including a budgie in your mix of videos. I think that they are beautiful but also a great bird for children to have and get children to be familiar with birds and familiar with taking care of them. When I was a young child I got 2 budgies (I grew up in Europe, we called them Parakeets) and they were just as much fun as their bigger parrot counter parts. They love to be social with humans (in my case all humans in the house) and I taught them all kinds of tricks even though I did not know a thing about working with birds. They freely flew all over the house, we didn't even close the door to their cage. The would go to their cage on their own to sleep, eat or drink water. If we lost track of where they were, or needed them to go in the cage because we were leaving the house, we would simply make a rattling noise by striking their cage with our finger nails and they would get mad as hell and furiously fly back to their cage to ""defend their home"". This would take less than 5 seconds.
My aunt, here in the US, had a blue budgie, just like Blueberry who she taught to talk and this bird would ride on the back of the family dog (a Poodle) as a means of transportation throughout the house.
Fantastic birds to introduce to children, and they may turn into bird lovers for life because of their budgies.
Omg! She’s adorable and SO SMART!! I’m so glad you did this video. I’m going to share it on my Facebook. I feel so bad that they little smarty-pants birds languish in a cage alone...nothing to do and no one to love. You’re really doing such a wonderful thing with Blueberry. I feel like most “parrot people” know that their parrots are smart and are going to require toys and attention. And they’re VERY expensive for most people. But I think that these little ones are bought more on a whim by people who are not necessarily bird people. Because they’re so pretty, and they’re $25.00. But they could have such a rewarding relationship with their little bird, just knowing the possibilities could help! I love it!!
I love your videos with blueberry! She is so adorable, and I just love budgies!
Missy loves millet.
It is so cute to look at little Blue running after freebies.
lol Blueberry reminds me of a combination of Comet and ChiChi. Super high energy & constantly moving like Chichi, but then there is a couple of moments of chill time. Then it’s back to being all over the place again! Especially love the tunnel exercise and the Bat. Very fun to watch, but very practical as well. ❤️
Thank you for this! I used this technique on my 4 month old budgie and sure enough, found shredded toy pieces at the bottom of the cage the next day!
Blueberry is SOOO Cute!
I love budgies, they are so cute and small and somehow so vulnerable that it makes me want to take care of them💙
Glad to see blueberry growing flight feathers out.🙂🙂
I liked this a lot! Thank you!
Really cool that you dont edit. When you watch training videos that have edited out the tedious bits you don't get the full grasp of what it entails
thats basically how my wife gets me to do the decorating ,paint the room and i get my favourite meal
🤣🤣 maybe i should start this training with my husband lol
@@ashleywalker4355 I mean, isn't it an intuitive reaction for most people? If your partner does something difficult or tiring, don't you want to revive their spirit? It's like a positive spiral where you support each other to be the best you two can be, even when either of you have bad days. I mean, that is the whole point of getting together: the whole of you together being better than the sum of the separate parts.
...oh, or is this just divorce kid mentality where you have seen how damn toxic relationships can be and you learned from early childhood that love (and lust) alone is worthless, and you have to actually be good partners for a relationship to be worth it.
@@Call-me-Al itd be nice if it was just intuitive but not everyone thinks of others.
I can be run ragged from mom and wife duties of the day. But I don't get any uplifting lol im sure there are people out there that do work well together and help eachother but ... Not in my relationship unfortunately.
So i guess you could say I believe it could go either way ... But i believe no relationship is perfect .. its the matter of are both people happy ...i do believe in love but i also believe in toxic relationships and how impossible it feels to get out of one.
And i originally commented on this as I found it amusing that that guy would decorate for his wife i thought it sounded amazing. I wish all i had to do was cook a meal to get SOMETHING back from my husband lol
Thanks for the deep thought of the day tho. I honestly did some hard thinking after reading that.
Oh this was adorable and very helpful. And blueberry! She melted my heart ❤
I loved this ! I especially love blueberry
The birds are so amazing thank you so much for teaching people how to take proper care of their bird because birds are not our pets they are our friends and companions 💞💞💞🦜
Rascal is watching and beak grinding while I watch. Thank you, Love budgies, so cute. Maren (here is a trick, I drilled into those Yucca toys and filled the holes with Millet. Rascal spent hours tearing them apart to get to it, millet is truely crack for birds)
My budgies will work for oat groats and hemp seeds in addition to millet and they are a little easier to use.
I love all your vids! Especially all the ones I can relate to! (Small bird vids) keep crushing it!
I do love this style of video. I also love watching birds, which is probably why :D
My 6 month old male budgies loves playing with toys. His favourite is his cat bell toy. He likes to pick it up and throw it around and chase it.
32 minutes ago and it's about budgies!! yay!
My Timneh loves, loves, loves your small toy package!!!
I have a budgie that look exactly like yours.
He wouldn’t play with toys so I followed your advice to sprinkle millets on the toys.
He finally play with the toys today!
I'm so happy and excited seeing Blue learn and train.
They, OR should I say my JOEY baby same look as Blueberry already had some great contact with previous owners, and I didnt know it at that time way back when I got him that the things I did was going with him was in fact TRAINING HIM TO DO THINGS I WANTED.
And I dont know about others who have had Budgie Birds but in my case seemed so eager to learn.
Joey loved his Millet, and his Cuddle Bones.
I HAVE to do some research on Budgies like I said to find out more on their diets and years lived etc, BECAUSE If what i see and read about them i think i have finally found a little friend for life. No more living so alone, and someone i can chat to instead of myself.
I bet you there is a ton of Budgies that have been left and or given back so maybe that route.
Anyways thx so much Jamie for doing this with a smaller version of a Machaw lol.
Budgies aren't nearly as long lived as the bigger birds but can live quite some time. My oldest bird was 13 when he passed. He might have lived longer if I'd known more about proper diet but he was allowed to fly free and only be in a cage at night to sleep. He had a fake tree to hang out in with toys and millet and he always had a friend bird. One of the biggest problems we ran into with the budgies is even bird vets didn't really treat them because their small size made it very difficult and their health issues progressed rapidly.
@@DarkestDeeds Heh Jayam. I just read your post and I wish to thank you so much for reading mine and taking your time to reply to my questions that I was not sure about.
Now that you mentioned the whole small bird issue as far as finding a decent avian vet that can and will try if your in desperate need to help your most loved bird is something to look into before I would venture onto this.
I wounder what Jamie does in this situation or if she does most of blues medical care.
Its something I might ask.
Anyways it was nice of you to take the time and offer your advice as a Budgie owner.😉
Yes yes I'll sign up for Patreon
I love Blueberry ❤️
Blueberry is ADORABLE 🐦 I never knew these little birds were this smart! Thank you for sharing this, I enjoyed every bit of it 💙
I’m currently in the process of training my Budgie. She steps up almost every time. Her name is Skye and she is very pretty. I’ve only had her for 3.5 days and she chirps now and then. Eats in front of me. Steps up almost every time. And eats millet from me. The video was really helpful. I’m going to try this technique when she starts chirping regularly and starts being more active in her cage. Right now she mainly just sits on one perch for an extended period of time, then moves to the next, but the first day she just sat at the bottom of her cage, so she is making progress. I think she is going through her baby molt soon, cause she has a few pin feathers, she preens a lot, and she drops a good amount of feathers. She will hopefully be able to fly after she molts, because the pet store I got her from trimmed her wings 😢
the first few days-week for both my budgies (i got them at separate times) they werent very active and kind of just sat on their perch or food bowl, but after a week or two they started getting a lot more active so it just takes some time for them to adjust to their new living situation! sounds like youre doing great though :)
Ellen G yup! She’s doing awesome! She chirps whenever I’m quiet. It’s really funny. It’s not like a sad chirp either, it’s like calling for me, because she used to me moving around a bit. I’m really proud of her for doing this well already. Thank you!
Blueberry is just the BEST when it comes to training. There is no hesitation or confusion in anything he does.
Blueberry... so small, so sweet 🥰
This wideo was great, please more training session like this :)
Yes more blueberry I just love him
Yessss more of this! I love it!
I love how blueberry has to pick up all the little crumbs!
Okay I'm definitely teaching my lovebird the hand tunnel trick that's adorable lol 😅
It's funny how BB insists on going the same direction thru the tunnel every time.
This little blueberry is so sweet. I enjoy the sound of her crunching her treat.
I got the same color Budgie named PiPi , just 3 months old, he is super friendly and wants to play all the time
Omg she’s so cute when she goes through the hand tunnel so adorable 😂😍
You think such a tiny bird won't be as smart as a big macaw or something but they're amazing.
Blueberry is so cute💙💙
Getting bored when you have a bird and youtube is impossible🤣 there are so many things you can do when you have birds.
The idea of the video without editing is awesome.👍👍
At first I thought the video was on fast but then I realised it was just blueberry! She's just naturally on x1.5 speed🤣
I loved the unedited video! It's great to see a budgie learning. Great job as always, Jamie. 😊🦜
I loved this! I don't have a bird and wish I could have one. Your videos help fill that void. Great format! Please add this to your bag of "tricks " to your TH-cam channel!
She's so cute!
You have the cutest budgie!
Is there any pet that's a better value, ounce for ounce, than the common budgie? I got one for my 13th birthday, and he was a very fun and loving little companion, way beyond my wildest imagination. I still miss him, 45 years later.
Your journey with blueberry is inspiring me to have another budgie.
Not sure I could live with other birds in the house, as I had an allergic reaction to a cockatiel and made me need to use my in haler multiple times (asthmatic) but I've always been fine with budgies but we did have a couple growing up as a child. I had an amazing budgie named Marco he lives with my mum now as I emmegrated. But it would be lovely to have another. And I think following the Birdtricks program would be a brilliant aid to help me develop a good relationship.
3:20 im doing target training with my bird but since i dont have a chopstick or a clicker im useing a clean popsicle stick and makeing chicking sounds with my mouth
I prefer this format. Glad it’s easier for you too cuz hopefully you’ll put more like it up. I’m not into being “entertained” on TH-cam actually. I just come to watch for the learning. But that’s just me maybe. Cheers.
I rlly like the day in the life videos with birds 😊
Yes, I very much enjoyed this new format and looking forward to more. For another approach where budgies and toys are concerned, see, e.g., "(How I) TAME Budgie Li'l Babi" and "Self-Entertained Budgie Li'l Babi".
I needed one like this thanks for the help!
I am glad I got to see this. It will help when I try to train my 3 budgies.
I really enjoyed this video, as it showed the reality of how training goes, not just edited video that gives some people unrealistic expectations. You alway do a great job of explaining and showing what you are talking about. By the way... I couldn't help but notice what I think was the washing machine in the background, finishing its cycle. LOL!! Oh, and Blueberry is adorable!!!
good job blue berry
Awww adorable video!!! I love blue to the berry’s videos!!!!!! I’d love to see more with Cressi or Bondi if you get the time! I feel like we don’t see enough of those two 😂 thank you for all that you do I appreciate you!
What a cutie!
I am new to your channel and don't have a bird...yet. Doing lots of research to see if its a fit. I have 2 rabbits, 6 guinea pigs, and 3 small dogs (all older). Don't worry I won't do it unless I know it will be ok. I am retired and can spend lots of time. Also, considering a parakeet so hopefully doesn't outlive me. Your videos are so informative and you are so cute.
