The way to treat birds and all animals was so excellently explained in this video, thank you Dave ☺
Spot on Dave!!! Budgies are way too cheap and it makes me sad. They're such incredible birds.
Case in point I just had 5 practically thrown at me at a small bird fair when I went to buy my first cocketiel or conure.
I had Budgerigars when I was a child and I've always had a soft spot for those little chattering troublemakers.
I've had budgies as a child, teen, student, and now as a 42-year-old. Somehow I think I will always get back to having budgies. Other birds have their crazy 5 minutes, they are crazy 24/7. As much as I adore other parrots or would love to have a cat, budgies just cheer me up like no other. Before I had my current flock I visited a parrot sanctuary. I loved seeing all the macaws, greys, cockatoos, caiques, quakers...but when I came to the corner where they had the silly little budgies going on with their busy budgie day I was laughing and smiling the most. 🥰
@@murphychurch8251The only downside to having budgies is, there Short lifespan. :(
On average most budgies only make it to be 5-6 years.
With proper care & nutrition, you can usually expect 8 years.
Anything beyond that is just magical.
But I've heard many budgie owners saying that budgies will live up to 4 years as a minimum and every year after 4 is just a bonus.
I agree budgies are so underrated! They are so smart and such personality for such a tiny bird. Dave, when my birds chatter back at me ( kinda pissed off) we say that they are "cussing us out in bird" lol. More budgie content please
mine r dumb
Heh yeah I have chickens and they are sooooo noisy i think they’re swearing too I love it though
@@joebean3615 I got chastised for sneezing this morning 🤣 Excuse me! 🤦♀️
Just gotta say, 8:45-9:00? That is a happy little bird. Totally chill and confident, despite the unknown environment. You obviously care for him/her very well. Nicely done! ❤️👍🏼
Thank you so much!
I know this has nothing to do with the topic but my son expressed a desire for an African grey. Never dealing with parrots before. He was watching Apollo the talking grey on TikTok. I researched the species on the net, as a preliminary. Began to watch TH-cam videos, came onto your channel here. After hearing about why an African grey would be difficult at best, I suggested we start volunteering at a bird sanctuary and interacting with the birds there. He said no. I decided for me, it would be therapeutic for me to interact with parrots at a sanctuary, but I have cats. I still want to volunteer, but it wouldn’t be fair to an African grey to adopt one, when I may not live long enough (I’m 53). I love the idea of therapy and volunteering at a shelter though.
If we ever did a consultation with you, my wife and I would walk in the same way. I'd be quietly holding the bird cage and she'd be freaking out about meeting you guys in person. Maybe one day 😉
Budgie are such funny little birds. I got mine back in May and he is the sweetest and funniest budgie I've owned. He can wolf whistle, make kissing and farting noises. He can also say pretty boy, good boy, cheeky chops, give me a kiss, pretty little birdie and Idris is a good boy.
Love the idea of paying more for the budgies! These young ladies will have a strong relationship with their birds, just keep up the good diet and training.
I love seeing kids wanting to do good with Budgies! I love what Dave said about needing to charge so much more for them so people took them more serious. I never understood that. You pay $300 for a parrotlet and $25 for a budgie. It makes no sense!
In my country a budgie costs $90😮……….
@@BlazeTheBudgies in my country a budgie costs less than a dollar
It’s all about supply and demand.
They cost $40.00 the last time I checked. Alabama, USA
We have a little blue budgie too, called Frozen. Purchased the training class weeks ago...need to get serious and get through it! He is very afraid of sudden movements and new things but can be handled and is sweet natured. Need to work on his diet!
That's such a cute name!
I had budgies when we were kids. Surprisingly a lot of the time the birds were attracted to me, kept landing on me. I have this effect on strange dogs and cats too, maybe because empathic, maybe because I’m depressed. I never pushed myself on the birds but made sure my presence was there. Eventually the birds would shake the cage door to interact with me, so I did. They’re so intelligent.
Always makes me smile when I see a true fan. It's interesting to see you help train a parakeet (and yes they are amazing little birdies). I'm sure this class helped reexcite this lady and her sister to work/train more with Blue. Thanks Jamie and Dave for taking us along.
You’re right budgies are seriously underrated. I have one and it is an amazing bird. It Hangs out with me, and engages with me. She is currently sitting on my shoulder chatting away, she gives me so much joy.
These girls are so wonderfully caring about Blue!❤💙🐦 Blue couldn’t make it to your arm and would have fallen if you hadn’t caught him. How can you help this fellow’s flight or should you not bc this guy had balance issues which caused his crashing in the first place? Yes. Parakeets are underrated and so mistreated in pet stores. Thrown in a container and kids shaking them and no one correcting them, etc. Makes me nauseous to think what I’ve seen in pet stores. Had to go up gently to people and ask them to take care. Sweet Blue and these girls were so cute. Makes me miss my babies, Beau Blue and Silly Goose. Two blue parakeets and my best friends growing up.🐦🐦They said so many things, followed me around and were part of the family. Lost them (to their old age) decades ago and still miss them terribly. Just go slowly at first, and they are brilliant, loving, fun… My birds would never have stayed sitting on the cage. Would have flown right to my shoulder. Hope Blue can fly again without crashing. ❤yay! I’m so happy! Thanks for writing🐦❤️
I am blues owner and he can fly now! (this video was filmed a while ago)
@@sierrastableshobbyhorses9571 So happy!❤❤❤❤🐦🐦🐦🐦
Keep the budgie vids coming!
YES!!! PLEASE!!!
and definitely a budgie, sees millet and instantly wants.
Sooooo agree with Dave. Budgies are sold at prices like they are some kinda living home decor. I think it’s unacceptable to have them at like $10-20! People will think that reflects the kinda care they require… when they are much more involved and intelligent pets than that price implied (like it’s a goldfish or something!). I really love how much your whole family loves the little birds and legitimize them. Ironically these parrots are probably the best suited for human companionship (along with other small species like parrotlets and cockatiels) but a lot of “bird people” even tend to treat them as lesser species. And that’s how so many big birds get rehomed!
My budgie looks exactly the same but has a yellow head. 💛 so beautiful. They're little birds full of big personality x
I miss my budgies I had in the past 🥲
Hahaha... the parakeet is so enthusiastic. So cute. 😄
Love the budgie training! I totally agree they need to cost more in the pet stores. I get so sad when I see all the clipped budgies in pens My three live a free lifestyle out in the Lanai her in florida. I can get the two males to step up for millet I tried training them, but they are a flock and I am their feeder. They are amazing, and love life.
It's really hard to find any pet that will give you more love than a budgie for the price you pay. Money can't buy you love, but it can buy you a budgie, and that's ALMOST the same thing.
Watching this with my budgie Idris
Aww, he's a good little one, learn/remembers, great!!♥️👍
Love your work this is beautiful especially since I lost my 6yo budgies who I raised from 2 weeks old😭
I am so incredibly sorry for your loss. 😪
So sorry to hear that! 💚💙
@natanya Farrelly - So very sorry for your loss!
Thanks team! This is so useful, I’m getting my budgie in 7 weeks time 😁
ohhh I waited so much for this kind of video!!!!!! I also have two tiny ones and I am trying to learn in order to give them the best life I can!!! Thank you for sharing!!
I always love seing the little budgies!
So wholesome!❤
What is it about these petite little blue budgies that makes them SO extra-cute and adorable?!!
🤗💙
This past night there was a flock of blue-and-gold macaws in my dream and believe it or not Blueberry was there too 😄
The macaws and their humans were having fun taking a bath together in a big pool in the back yard of a beautiful large house and Blueberry was all around them, anywhere and everywhere. 😊
wow 😅
I'm trying to fall in love again with my Budgies, unfortunately their noise started to get me down, something I never anticipated, I knew they chattered and chirped but I have one young male who screeches so bad. He was abandoned by his parents and all his siblings died, so was hand fed by himself then came to me as soon as he was weaned, He is nippy and spends alot of time by himself when the other budgie and my green cheek want to hang out with us. I think he lacks social skills. Anyway he sets the other one off screeching and man it sucks. It started to make me feel sick with stress and I noticed some resentment and I started considering finding them a new home.
I take good care of these birds though and the more sociable one is currently kissing me (kissy noises included) all over my face and I do love him.
I just think I need to take a few steps back and work with them more, they are such fantastic, bold little birds
This was awesome
I love you guys soooo much ur daughter ur birds are soooo cuteee ❤🌷🌺🍄
Omg i loved this masterclass, we learned so much.
I loved seeing this! Such fun. 🌹❤ ~Gina
Perfect timing for me on this video, needing to retrain our budgie since I got inconsistent with his training last month.
The beginning when they walked in was so wholesome
Beautiful sharing 💕❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
Love the budgie content! Blue is so cute 😘. We got your Budgie training course before we got our baby, and it was so helpful. Our little Rocket bird responded so quickly to targeting and trick training, and has become my son's new bestie. He is such a joy to have around!
This is a great video! I have been fostering a found parakeet. Unable to find her parents, Sky will stay with me. She is two years old and training is a priority. She’s doing well and this video reinforces I have learned so much from BirdTricks.
@Joanie Dorsey - Oh my goodness, we have the same story!! I'm also fostering a rescue parakeet! Actually, I'm about to declare him officially mine now after 7 weeks of looking for his owner. I had just lost a budgie who got out when I had my grandkids at the house. In just a flash of a second he was gone, just like that. I still can't believe it. I've been searching everywhere for him while also searching for this bird's owner(s). I don't know how old this bird is since there's no leg band. I've named him Houdini because he's a real escape artist! He's not fond of the cage and (at first) really didn't like being covered for sleeping either, so I've had to improvise on a few things (night light, noise machine). I have no idea what kind of environment he came from. The first few days, he stepped up onto my hand, but I think it was because he was so frightened, he didn't know what else to do. Now he refuses, sigh. I have a lot to do to get him trained the way I'd like him to be. I also have a new budgie "egg," soon to be hatched & hand raised who will be joining us soon. I have to get Houdini Bird trained well enough to not teach the baby some of his bad habits (like escaping to the highest level where I can't reach him), LOL! I'm lost. I may have to call and get an appointment with Bird Tricks! Good luck with Sky! I'm glad she's doing well!
@Joanie Dorsey - My Budgie that was lost was originally named "Blueberry" after the Blueberry in the Bird Tricks videos. We ended up calling him Budgie more often than Blueberry over time though. We sort of alternated between the 2 names. We love their little Blueberry! So cute! He looks just like my bird.
Personally speaking, I’m not a fan of Budgies and can’t see myself ever owning one myself. I’ll be honest… I’m more into the beefy looking parrots such as Cockatoos, Macaws etc 😅
But there’s no way in which I would underestimate their intelligence or value to the parrot/parakeet world. As proven they are absolutely underrated as an animal, and it’s unfortunately not many people get budgies with the intention of training them…
I would LOVE to have a cockatoo in my life, I have a real affinity for the U2, but I’m too old and too poor to bring one into my life now. Happily there are some nearby that I can visit with. It’s funny that Jamie is so fearful of them.
I love my budgie. He was talking within a month of me having him. He's also very good at copying sounds.
I’m a behavior analyst and you guys are using pure ABA and I absolutely love it! I need to use more with my birds but it’s so hard doing it all day and then coming home and doing it with my animals haha. 😅
Please more about budgies. My MOJO is nearly perfect in behavior because of your tips and diet; however, after 3 years he still won't let me rub his head or cheeks with my finger. I can kiss, but no fingers. Should I accept his wishes, or push and set us up for failure. He does recall, step up, never bites, and enjoys learning to mimic. We get so much enjoyment from each other. I'm 76 years old and he keeps me young. Thanks for all you do for the bird world...Geri and Mojo
Honestly, this bird is very well behaved ...I wouldn't say it's trouble with training, moreso an animal who forgot his training (lack of consistency and/or reinforcement training,) and he's recapturing it all really well!!
Hello Birdtricks! I am a viewer of your channel and love your birds. I have a green cheek conure and need help trying to get it to step up on my hand/fingers without it biting. I would love your advice/help with that. This would be gr8 and I would greatly appreciate it!!❤️
Hi birds tricks i was wondering if you guys have any breeder suggestions or any other breeders that you guys have gotten birds from. If not then it’s alright
bird clicker training cool
❤
Every now and then I consider doing target training with my budgies as well...but I've got 6 of them, so I imagine it could get complicated to work with just one bird at a time without the others rushing in to get the millet. 😆
Changing to a different room is no option.
Free to a good home is too expensive for some people. Maybe knowing how much care and training is involved and how much a good diet and ongoing veterinary care costs would deter those who won’t care for a bird. Outlining these costs in time and money would serve all birds better.
Aww
Budgies are able to talk do tricks and be super friendly and not big enough to be afraid to train where something like a 3000$ macaw polly might want your finger and not to mention both male and female macaws can be very territorial the thing is people think of them as a less important bird alot of people do because price tag but there personalities and there intelligence is worth more then the most expensive birds and the fact they are small.
Mine was talking just 1 month after I got him. He started off with a wolf whistle now he can whole whistle, make kissing and farting noises. He can say pretty boy, cheeky chops, good boy, pretty little birdie, give me a kiss, idris is a good boy.
@@flamingbridges1649wolf whistle? This I need to hear. Lol
Let me know if y'all ever come to connecticut, I have three untamed, loud budgies that I am having a hell of a time trying to train/tame.
We will be there in June 2023 😊
@@BirdTricks you maybe be meeting Birduardo, Birdinio and Birdadette then, lol. I need to grab your budgie series because birds really are a whole different game from what I'm used to.
I have two budgies, one was a rescue and she is very timid and scared of hands. I don't know much about her past, just that she was neglected and hands are a no no. My other birdie is a male, and is currently being acclimated to the home, but he is much less scared but needs tamed is all. Would I still be able to get somewhere with both of them through this course? I'm seriously considering giving it a shot, your gentle methods seem like they would be the most worthwhile to try, and I feel like my female budgie and I got off to a rough start. I just want her to gain some confidence and be able to move past some of the fear and anxiety she has.
Yes! Do it! My daughter and I have 2 budgies who previously lived untamed in an flock in an aviary. We have up and down days with their confidence and willingness to interact but the budgie course has been THE biggest help for us in both understanding our birds and taming them. We couldn't have done this without Birdtricks!
Budgies are very much monkey see monkey doo.
Soo if you can get your male budgie on your hand or fly too you whenever I'm sure your female budgie will want too do the same.
I have 6 birds I have got all them from people rehoming them I have a yellow nape amazon a goffin cockatoo which I have only had him for 4 months now I have 2 conures and 2 budgies I'm goin to work with the budgies I just got the budgies was in a cage I bought off someone for my goffin Cockatoo and they said if I was bought in the cage I had to take them and I did they are so sweet
where can I get a clicker?
Can you tame a budgie that is already almost 2 years old? I guess with lots and lots of patience?
My little budgie is very affectionate but sometimes bites me when I talk to him how can I prevent that? 😅
helloo, luv ur vids.
on a quick side note, I have a question, I have an alexandrian parakeet and recently I've noticed that at night his wings start to twitch alot. I did alot of research but didn't find anything helpful so could you please tell me anything regarding this problem, it would be quite helpful.
That sounds like a just a content wing flap that birds do when they are relaxed. If you have any doubts though that what you are seeing is different then a visit with your avian veterinarian is never a bad idea.
thank you so muchh, this was very helpful. it must be a content flap then, since he only does it before he is sleeping or when he is sitting on someone's leg for a long time. If I see other problems emerge I'll take him to a vet. Again, thanks alot.
@Wyfuuu - My budgie does that too. Scares me to death sometimes. I think it's nerves?
How would you travel with Blue/ a parakeet if you needed the vet and it was cold out? Telehealth?💙
I had to go to the vet with a budgie when we had freezing temperatures. I prepared by putting the box with the bird into a firm shopping bag, on top of a warm hot water bottle (not too hot), then had blankets to put around. First I got my car heated up, then fetched the budgie bag with the blankets around until we were in the car and I could partially remove the blanket for air circulation. The most important thing is to make sure they don't get blown by cold wind.
@@murphychurch8251 thanks!❤so glad you love your birdy so much!
If you plan 5 targets, 2 flights and succeed, then do you just play with your bird or put him back in his cage?
It depends on the bird. As long as your interactions are remaining posistive then you can hang out more. If these interactions turn negative then it is time to end the hang out session for now and try again later.
I have 2 budgies that I got from someone who had them 1yr they never did any training. I'm hoping to get their trust so they will want to interact and see that being out of the cage isn't scary. I need some advice. Today is day 4 of having them and I hand feed them just to try to get them use to me.
If there obsessed with Millets as a treat you'll be perfectly fine in training them lol
Sir i have a cockateil and i am from india i am having a problem with my cockateil when a new male person come to home my cockateil just go on there shoulder . It was problematic in two ways some people are afraid of bird so there reation might come like throw him but its just what i am xoncern never happen but the second reason is when he goes to shoulder of new person he will fly and just start attacking my father only my bird cause bleeading in my father hand many times and not to mention when there is no guest my bird prefer my father than any of other 5 members please help cant understand the reason......now a days bird just comes and bite and fly when i am close to my father please can u help me why is this behaviour
I have a conure, Birdie, that was given to me because it flew off it's cage to bite it's owner's face. I've had it for 6 years and still can't get it out of it's cage because it attacks. I have to wear a glove to clean it's cage. My other conure is a darling, and I was hoping these two would be company for each other while I'm at work. I have their cages close together, but I'd never let Birdie get near Skittles. The woman who gave me Birdie said she'd heard the former owner's wife didn't like it and would throw things at the cage. Poor bird ! I give Birdie chew toys, and treats, and it accepts them happily, but will bite me if I linger. Any suggestions on how to help Birdie ?
I have a very important question to ask I want a budgie so bad but my parents are still thinking about it (I’m 14 btw) what do you do to not get poop all over your floors when blueberry is flying around??? Please answer ❤
@TinyToads - Once your budgie is tamed and used to his/her environment, I have found that they don't travel around that much. For example, I have a play gym on top of the cage where he can play and spends a lot of time on, so the poop goes directly onto the very bottom of the cage itself. He usually will want to be where you are, so I would get an old sheet and put it under wherever you're hanging out. That will catch most of the droppings. Then just roll it up and shake it outside until the droppings fall off, LOL! It's been my experience that they don't fly around all that much, so most of the droppings are wherever the bird likes to chill out. It's pretty easy to clean up.
@@ESLteacher62 Thank you 😊
OMG I KNOW THAT PERSON!! BRO I CAN'T BELIEVE WE BOTH WENT WITH BIRDS
Wait wait what?? That was me lol
Okay obviously not gonna say personal details so Idk how to confirm lol
Ooh first omg!
Only 3 veiws

Hi I have a parrot but it's not trained so every time I take it out it try to run away so can you pleas train it for me
Help SOS!!! I just rescued a parakeet from a 7-11parking lot. I've had him since August 27th...I contacted local police and posted him to an online group that reunites lost birds, but no one claimed him and he has no leg band. I have gotten him everything a budgie should need...he has a cuttle bone, a mineral block, a bird bath(that he used once), he has toys and a swing(no mirrors). Everything was introduced slowly, but he doesn't play with toys at all, doesn't use the cuttlebone or mineral block. I am working on getting him off seeds however...he doesn't like anything except romaine lettuce and seeds. He doesn't like carrots, apple, banana, etc. and he doesn't like millet at all. In fact, he is afraid of millet. I have cut the sprig to the size of a quarter bc if I had a full or half a sprig cradled in my hand he freaked like I approached with a chainsaw, but still won't eat it. I heard you mention it could take months to get him off seeds. I have tried pellets and he tosses them aside. I have ground them up, and put them on lettuce etc. and he looks at me like I am trying to poison him. He becomes vocal and annoyed if I put the pellets on top of his seeds. If I put anything with his lettuce like another veggie(shredded carrot)he won't go near it, and looks at me like I have no soul. I also heard you mention to try to work with one bird at a time, but he only really makes noise in the house if he hears other budgies on my phone as I teach myself how to care for him(or if I put on Thor Love and Thunder, not joking, chirped through the whole movie) We have a huge screened in porch and so for the last part of summer he spent his days on the porch and he would sing and chirp etc. and nights inside. He is inside, where his cage was always placed, bc it's cold in NJ. Should I continue to work with him alone or should I get him a friend to teach him how to be a bird? I am home all the time so I spend everyday working with him and talking to him, and in the time I've had him he has adjusted to my dogs and my dogs ignore him bc they are older and don't care. We all sleep In the same room and eveyone is happy and peaceful. However, he can only come out of the cage when my dogs are locked out of the room(one of the dogs used to be a proficient bird hunter, and I'm not taking any chances). He gets fly time, but training him to come back without a treat is proving difficult. But my biggest concern is his dietary health. How can I reward him when the glory of all bird treats is millet and he looks at millet like a weapon of mass destruction? At what point should I be concerned if he doesn't start to take interest in food other than seeds? Any advice would be helpful. Thank you for the great videos it has really helped.❤🐤❤
@Carolyn Fitzgerald - I just wanted to tell you that I also rescued a parakeet on August 30th (a few days after your rescue) and my new little bird isn't doing very much either. I tried to find
his owner(s) but got no response, so I am now claiming him as my own. It can take a while for them to adjust. He's finally chirping a little when he hears other birds (on the videos that I play for him; he loves that), but he's still a bit afraid, doesn't play with ANY of his toys yet and has a long way to go. I just wanted to share that with you so that you will know that it's normal for them to take a while to adjust. Don't give up! He's going to come around. I had a budgie before I got this one. I got him from a pet store and they had clipped his wings. It took 5 LONG months for that bird to chirp, play or do much of anything, but once he adjusted, we had a great life together. I used to play videos from the "Kiwi and Pixel the Parakeets" TH-cam channel. My little Budgie learned how to say almost every single thing that Kiwi says. So, during those 5 LONG months when he was silent, he was listening to Kiwi and Pixel and learning how to talk (silently). One day, 5 months later, he started chattering up a storm, including saying a lot of the words he had secretly learned while he was silent! Ha Ha! The little stinker was holding out on me! Just give it time. Your new bird will adjust and be an awesome pet! I'm not trying to answer your question for "BirdTricks," but when I saw that we have similar situations I thought it might encourage you a little bit to know that you aren't alone and it sometimes takes quite a while for them to come around and adjust. We are just days apart on how long we've had our birds. It sounds like we are in a similar place. Hang in there! Good luck with your new baby!
@@ESLteacher62 Thank you so much for reaching out, and telling me your rescue story, it really lifted my spirits. I was in 4-H as a kid and have had rabbits, ferrets, chinchillas, cats, and dogs and show dogs...this is my first bird. Birds are very different than the aforementioned furry friends, but I am happy to have the opportunity to work with a pet I was never allowed to have bc my sister is scared to death of them( attacked by a goose as a child, can't blame her...don't put Ritz in your pocket around wild geese) Thank you for telling me your experiences and the length of time it took your bird to come around. I know it could take some time, but at least I have an idea in my head to not expect things to come along as fast as with my other animals. Thank you again this really helped me a lot. Wishing you and your new little friend the best❤🐤❤
Hi i From India i am also a you tuber

You should soundproof the room you have lessons in - it´s a terrible echo
They use rooms at different venues. They’re not their rooms so they can’t baffle them(not soundproof- soundproofing means to mark impervious to outside sounds. “Baffling” on the other hand is placing sound absorbing surfaces to reduce/eliminate echo) Yes this room is echoey, because it’s big, empty and mostly hard surfaces. Sadly there’s not a lot they can do about that, other than to overdub a narration/voice track or maybe they could add subtitles cos it is hard to understand sometimes
My new budgie has zero interest in millet, so I can't use it to bribe her :(
Someone please tell me how to get my bird to stop screaming, I'm kinda tired of crying now 😅
@Caylynne Murray - Have you tried music? These budgies seem to love having noise and they can't stand silence. Just a thought. When it's silent around the house, it seems like my budgie gets uncomfortable and nervous. Now, I almost always have some sort of music playing or something when I'm not able to give him attention, even if it's just the radio. His favorite music comes from TH-cam - one of the channels is called "Relaxation Music" I look for the videos that have birds sounds in them (with birds in the scenes) with the music and my budgie just loves 'em. They're beautiful! They show so many different breeds of birds - it's so amazing and the music is very relaxing. There's several that are 24 hours long, so those are the ones I play when I'm going to be gone for a few hours. It really keeps him company. It's been a lifesaver for both of us! I just prop up my laptop where he can see well and off I go! It's been my experience that when I play the 24 hour videos, you don't have those awful commercial breaks that pop up suddenly and scare the birds, so those are definitely my favorite.
@@ESLteacher62 hi there x thank you so much for replying. I have an African Grey and he tends to try and be louder than any sound in the room lol so if there's music, he tries to be louder.
Parakeet?! Why America? 🤦🏽♂️
one of the first things you three might think about is to stop making such a racket and screeching at the top of your voices. If this is the noise level in the house, I'm surprised the budgie isnt deaf
It’s not a parakeet.... It’s actually called a budgerigar.
Parakeet is just the common name for them. I don't like it either, but honestly if they're caring for the bird really well I don't quite mind whatever they call it. It's like the whole burk vs bork argument for bourke parakeets
I just call 'em "budgie."
I’m actually going to cry PLEASE get that poor baby a larger cage. It’s disgusting that I or anyone should even have to speak up on this. Just like any other birds budgies NEED a large cage and room to fly within their cage. And I was recently told your saying budgies are family birds. Idk how long or how many you have owned but as a long time Budgie owner I can say that’s NOT TRUE. Please stop telling false miss leading info that can either get your out your viewers birds injured or killed.
This is maybe just a travel cage if they brought him to a training facility. My budgie has a large cage at home but also a small cage that is used for a sleep cage plus a travel cage. If it is his main cage it definately needs to be updated to much larger cage
@@shazhamilton5160 I know what a travel cage is I own budgies myself who have travel cages for vet checkups. But their videos have confirmed this is the cage their budgie lives in. I’m a budgie mom myself they need proper flight cages for several reasons health being one of them. They encourage small cages for budgies and that budgies are good pets for kids when their not. Budgies can be very expensive from the proper flight cages, food, toys, vet bills Ect. What their doing is keeping a budgie in a tiny cage. Not using it as a travel cage. That cage should only be for travel never for living.
@@Drawing_with_lillian didn't realise that was giving them the benefit of the doubt because I only watched this video. Definately budgies need a large flight cage mine is only in cage when I go out or at night he prefers to hang out with me and still his cage is large and filled with toys and foraging activities
@@shazhamilton5160 It’s all good. That’s why I made this post. A friend of mine actually found them she knows I’m a bird mom told me about this channel I looked into it but yeah that’s the cage they sadly keep their budgie in 😞
I really love the consequence part at the end! Thanks to all of you. 🦜🐦🥰
