- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 พ.ย. 2021
- A highly requested video that I finally got around to make. Im sorry its so long but frankly a lot goes into the day with parrots and I wanted to give a good idea of how much you have to do. This day they were well behaved but I plan to make another daily routine during nesting/hormonal season to give you an idea of them at their best and at their worst.
Here is a breakdown of my day:
1. Wake up at 7:20am
2. Wake up the birds
3. Go downstairs to give them fresh vegetable chop and pellets
4. Bring them in for a shower or offer a bath
5. Let them receive some sunshine, watch some tv or music
6. Bring them back down to finish chop, eat fruit, treats like walnuts and some nutriberries
7. Bring them back upstairs
8. Clean their downstairs cage with vinegar and a power wash outside
9. Clean upstairs area, vacuum, change lining
10. Relax watch tv or run errands
11. Make sure they all ate dinner, Put them to sleep when the sun goes down
12. Leave lights off and leave room for complete uninterrupted sleep
13. Go downstairs to vaccum and clean the mess they made, wipe walls, floor, or any other mess they made

What a lovely home for them! I too have a quaker and a sun. My sun highly obfects to my quaker's very existence! I have been thinking of getting another quaker because he is very social and my sun is also solitary and happy with that most of the time. I wish they would play together but, no such luck. Thank you for being such a great bird Mom!
I have a video on bonding them if you want :)
th-cam.com/video/kFMSRGPOZL8/w-d-xo.html
My daughter has a sun and green cheek conure. They are best buddies besides a lil bickering here and there. My quaker is solitary for now. I am not sure to get another one. Maybe when I am retired (hopefully 3 yrs from now) our quaker is happy with just us and has to learn to play a bit more.
Such a great Daily Routine, love seeing how other people care for there birds on a day to day basis!
Glad you enjoyed it ☺️
So much involved in looking after these little terrors!
Our daily routine is so involved too, sometimes I could really use a break lol!
For real though! I feel bad the video was almost an hour but so much goes into it I could not cut it down more. My breaks are usually when I go to eat xD
@@mimisbirdhouse Haha it's ok, it takes a while to film! Plus lots is involved!
I think mine was over half hour too and I edited as much as I could!
@@TheParrotTeacher someone else who feels my pain 😌
I feel like your kind of lucky that your birds get along enough to eat together because my green cheek is jealous. If I even give my cockatiel a little scratch, so I have to feed them separately so they don’t fight.
Oh no, if your interested this is how I got them to bond as it was a process

Love watching other people's daily routines with birds! I love your set up - it looks super interactive! 😊
Thank you so much! My room is basically their playground while I live in the corner xD
@@mimisbirdhouse same here, lol I have 3 cockatiels and they all around the room but i want to get a quaker bird I'm very interested in them specially that they can talk
@@obed3253 Quakers are very interesting (mean) birds. But frankly its not too recommend to have them with cockatiels as tiels have a passive calm nature and quakers tend to be bullies that can severely harm your tiels.
@@mimisbirdhouse I want a baby one that way they can stay friends
I love how you have your TV on for your birds too. Whenever I have to go out to do some errands, I put your channel on for my birds to watch too. The minute my birds hear yours, then the squawking begins. Lol.
Thats so sweet thank you 🥺 They love watching movies and always stay so calm with them on
Love your videos
I remember first watching this video 2 years ago, and now I’m finally getting my first sun conure tomorrow 🥹💕
Oh my goodness congrats on your new child 🥹
love these types of videos! ❤️
Glad to know 🥰
Very very nice
This video was super helpful and I like beak crunching asmr, it was so cute.🥰
Im so glad 🥰 and i love when they crunch their beak 😍
Very sweet 😊☺👌❤💕.....
🥰🥰
This is great. And I love how you have space and toys and so interactive for the birds
It hurts my heart when I see people that keep their birds caged and/or cages too small
I pretty much know a lot about Quakers cuz I've owned them for so long, but this was so enjoyable to watch, abd my bird Bella really enjoyed it too😄🐦💚
I owned two quakers Bella and Joey past 20 & 21 yrs, and recently my 28-year-old Joey passed away from an illness that hit him overnight💔
I've always played Bird videos for them, but recently I've been trying to find more Quaker videos since Bella now is alone - she's 22 years old
Wow thats amazing! Im sorry to hear about Joey 😔 you gave him a wonderful life and he must of loved you so much. 28y is an amazing time, and Bella sounds so sweet 🥺 I hope Bella likes the videos.
Maybe this will be good company for Bella as well?

Man we used to have 2 of these bird but we have to give them away, those two remind me so much of them
My sun conure (also named Mango) has been talking back to your Mango 🥰
Awwww 🥺
Love your videos it's my new favorite 😍 channel ❤ I have a lot a lot of budgies in my house so I'm a bird lover my self too ❤❤❤
Awww thank you that means a lot 🥹🥰
Say hi to all your budgies for me they must be adorable! 🫶🏼
❤
My birds love to play with wood things too
What do you buy? Mine is afraid of toys but pens, my phone case. Pretty much random stuff. He ignores his hanging toys in his cage. I wish he would like to play with wood. He likes to bite whole into shirts, towels. It's like sucking on it. I am not happy cause he could swallow fabric.
we buy things he can bite and mine iis scared of a moving chair and my dad and my brother and random stuff and he likes to eat of the ground and he bites me to but whatever that what birds do also he loves to watch Elmo idk why 🤣
Quakers are definitely a grey area! They build amazing nests in the wild, so long as they aren't defending it for their life than it's a normal quakers behavior :)
Super agree on that. Mine dont get hormonal or territorial over it, just a fun game and sleeping place but I always say if they are getting hormonal or territorial then take it away
Mango didn't want to come while you was calling but guess what, Hunter came to the computer monitor :D He really enjoyed this video and all the birds :)
Plus, oh you have so much sun now ! I wasn't able to see sun in a month now :/
And new information I learned. So I can give Hunter a walnut ! I have tons of them because I have huge, and I mean huge walnut tree in my garden :)
She loves to defy me on purpose 😂 And aww im glad you guys enjoyed the video ☺️ and yes we had video for that week I filmed but the skies are grey majority of the time during this season 😅
@@Nika44 thats okay! Happens a lot to me too
Can you please make a video on how you made the bird stand in the middle of the room..... I would really appreciate if you do some diys videos as well
Hello I have a video on it here;
th-cam.com/video/IEWfOblOIy4/w-d-xo.html
Thank you so much for accepting my request and that was so sweet😊 I wanted to ask if you keep pellets as their food in the cage or seeds? I use seeds with herbs, seasoning, dried fruits and vegetables, dried flowers and leaves and also sunflower seeds. My birds won't eat pellets at all and in our country we don't have good quality pellets, so yeah.
Of course :) sorry I wasnt able to cut the video down anymore i know it ended up kinda long 😅 and I only reserve seeds as treats. i keep pellets in their cage as it should make up majority of their diet. I have a video about helping switch over your bird to pellets if you want to check that out
th-cam.com/video/9Suj5MlOEms/w-d-xo.html
@@mimisbirdhouse I actually watched the whole video without knowing it's time and I didn't realize the video was long LOL! I've already watched the video and tried it but I wasn't able to switch them from seeds to pellets and that's why I'm feeding them low fat seeds like chia seeds, hemp seeds, oats, flax seeds with herbs and dried flowers, leaves, fruits and vegetables and seasonings. They still get those commercial seeds mix as their snacks :) Thank you so much for responding to our comments and that's so kind😊
@@sherlyjones7636 another great way is nutriberries. I used them in the video but they contain 20% pellets and then a mix of vitamins nutrients fruits and seeds. Its a good way to get them accustom to the taste of pellets :) and I totally get how hard it can be to switch them over! the important thing is while you keep trying you are finding a way to make sure they are supplimented with every nutrient they need. If you can get them to eat fresh vegetables everymorning and mix in the prime powder that would be another great way
@@mimisbirdhouse Thank you so much! I'll definitely give them nutriberries :D Yeah they get chop everyday with different varieties of food too and of course fruits as healthy snacks! My birds actually love dates and apricots.
@@sherlyjones7636 if like like chop then crush up the pellets into a powder :) mix it in there and it gets them both used to the flavor and their nutrients in. you can also use a food chopper to turn it into powder
Fruit
My quaker tico is 18 months old he won't eat any veggies or fruit only eats the white of the eggs. And he has his toys but he is so naughty .
☺
Do you freeze the chop so it can last you a whole month? Beautiful flock by the way
Thank you ☺️ and yes I do ☺️
Ahh! Their biting really hurts mine also bite me some times😢 they are only 3 months old though. Btw beautiful birds❤ it was lovely to watch your videos🥰
Thank you 🥰 aww babies are always looking for something to bite 😂 get them cardboard or kabob toys with soft wood ☺️ helps a lot
@@mimisbirdhouse they have lots of toys but still prefer me for biting😅 btw i have que what should be their feeding schedule🤔
I give them veggies in morning then pellets and some seeds for lunch and some pellets, veggies, and fruit in dinner. Is it okay for them, it's been 2 weeks that they start eating properly......i am new parrot parent so i am worried about their health can u plz help me😇
@@Monart7487 if you are changing them from seeds to a healthy diet then sure seeds for lunch is good for some weeks until you can fully take them off seeds. Seeds are ideally treats. Its kind of like saying I had cake for lunch :) other than that im loving the feedign schedule 👌🏼
@@mimisbirdhouse yes i am reducing the amount of seeds slowely and increasing pellets so that they can get used to pellets, it is good right? And thank u so much for your reply cuz u r the first youtuber who actually reply back on my comment 🫂🥰 thank u so much 🤗
@@Monart7487 yes thats perfect ☺️ aww im glad i can be of help 🥰
Im looking forward to getting either an indian ringnecked, quacker, or a conure and i have experience with birds and know how to care for them perfectly, do u have any advice on wich one i should get or just advice if u dont have experience on ringneckes. Also I LOVED UR VIDEO U AND UR BIRDS ARE BEAUTIFUL ❤
Aww thank you so much 🥹🥹🥹
Here would be my breakdown of each bird
Conure: LOUD! Cuddly, friendly but SASSY! Very destructive, very bonded to one person, clingy
Quaker: chatty, mean, will bite for fun (not hard to bleed), troublemaker, prankster, makes you laugh and cry, SUPER CLINGY AND POSSESSIVE
Indian ringneck: Cute, chatty, loves their kisses, but not as cuddly, usually doing their own thing, very peculiar birds in a good way, and generally very nice and well behaved
@@mimisbirdhouse thank you soo much it honestly really helped, I'm REALLY nervous for when I get the parrot because I live with my parents and even tho they are okay with it I still don't want to bother them, THANK YOU SO MUCH THO!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Great video! I want to get an indian ringneck parrot. What age you recommend to get them? Thank you and Blessings from Texas. 🙏🏻😇🙏🏻
Any age as long as they are fully weaned off formula and onto solids. Adoption is great if available ☺️
@@mimisbirdhouse thank you Mimi. Dios Te Bendiga. 🙏🏻😇🙏🏻
So are birds supposed to be on a feeding schedule or do you leave food in their cages all day for them to get to day or night?
Its dependant. My birds regulate their food themselves, they never overeat or undereat as they have tons to do during the day. I still bring them down for breakfast and lunch and they snack inbetween and before bed is dinner time.
Also do you have recommendations for introducing or cohabitation for multiple pets?
Multiple birds or multiple various pets?
@@mimisbirdhouse various pets. So far my cat now plays with the frenchies(2) we have had the birds a few months now and watching your videos explains sooooo much. I am working on changing routine and spending far more time with the birds and getting a play area outside of the cage or cage top. My cat is only curious when they are in the cage when they are out she runs away. Any suggestions I appreciate?
@@modernmysticlearning i personally would not risk having your cat and bird together, ontop of the risk of a cat being a natural predator to birds, even if they got along a cats saliva is toxic to birds and will kill your bird. If they ever are in the same room even inside the cage I would be consistently supervising them as you dont want your bird to possibly panic and hurt themselves inside their cage.
Glad my videos are helping though :)
Can 3 birds be in one cage?
Nice video!
Not unless the cage is very large to house all 3 and especially they have to be 100% super bonded. One of my quakers tolerates my sun conure, they dont fight but they arnt super close so I would never cage them all together if that makes sense
I have a monk parakeet/qweker parrot i only have one but i love him i want to ask how do you tell luka and kiui apart ?😅😅😅
Kiwi was smaller and more of a like green, he also didnt bob his head and their mannerisms were different ☺️
Sorry if this is rude to ask, but are you always home most of the day? Don't you need to go to school/work..? I just wonder if it's even possible for a person/family with normal working hours to take care of a parrot..
No not rude at all, I work from home. So yes I am home all day. Birds need to be out at least 8h of the day out of the cage so if someone is home majority of the day then yes but parrots if wanted to care for properly, fit very few lifestyles
Keeko is literally scared of ladders. I had a hanging one in his cage I had to remove. I have a small stiff one I leaned against his tree on the table. He did not go on his tree because of that ladder. How could I possibly make him claim it? I saw your 2 went up there really fast. I am kinda disappointed he doesn't. He learned a lot in the 7 months I have him. I just think he didn't have anything fun in his first 2 years.
Maybe this video can help :) ;

What is the name of the cereal you gave them? My Quaker’s won’t eat any veggies or fruit .
I have a video on how to introduce that
th-cam.com/video/KhSPe6dh2so/w-d-xo.html
My quaker is a cookie monster. I also would like the name of that cereal for a treat here and there, please.
Question is it ok to let a Quaker bath itself in a big bowl/plate with water ?
Yes you should be letting them do it themselves and make sure the bowl is shallow so the water isnt past their legs
@@mimisbirdhouse ok thank you
Hello
Can you put your ingredients, for your chop recipe to be seen.🙂
You can find them on my instagram highlights in spanish and english ☺️
Ever sun conure: mango
Cause they grow from mango tree’s until they are ripe for the picking
@@mimisbirdhouse lol
♥️🇧🇩♥️
Wow that's how my hands looked 3 months ago. Pretty painful 😢
You too 😭
Hi quick questions I have 2 sun conures one is quite young and the other is a year and older,I wanna know if i should leave food overnight in the cage for them or not,and also is there a schedule to be feeding them.
For my birds we have a food plate thingy in the cage and we leave it there all the time and they eat quite a lot of it,i think it’s probably wrong so I wanna ask you what I should do for them relating to their feeding and stuff.
Also is caffeine quite bad for them cuz the older one always flies to me when I’m eating breakfast and drink my chai😅
I’m very worried for the other one we just bought her and she can’t balance on those and keeps slipping she doesn’t hav wings long enough yet and she keeps falling down,luckily I catch her everytime but is it a serious injury if she falls from the table to the ground,I say we give her back cuz our own sun conure which is a year just came a month ago and my family doesn’t know anything about birds so it’s better for her if we give her back but will it damage the healthy one in any way?
I know this is a lot but I rlly can’t find anyone else to answer these so I rlly hope you can
Hi so i would not leave food overnight, they dont eat at night and the food would just spoil, id follow the chop recipe i put out as well as natural pellets, walnuts and of course water.
Please avoid caffeine. If you need to have breakfast in a separate room please do.
Can I ask how old is the other one before making a comment ☺️?
@@mimisbirdhouse thanks,the other we just bought a few days ago she’s very young so I understand y she can’t walk or fly properly,she’s around 4 to 6 months that’s what the previous owner said,she would follow whatever the older one does she would also go wherever he goes and copies him a lot and it’s cute,the only problem is she can’t balance well and should they be able to fly at such a young age?when we bought her we didn’t cut her wings off they were already pretty short,she’s only scared of ppl approaching but not items and eats a lot
😔 poor little baby bird. I hope it's better now if you kept it.
@@Murder.Muffin she's a lot better and we've found out she could fly so well some time ago,we realized that becuz the bird shop owner where we bough her from kept her in a very small cage and didn't give her any chances to even walk around much or fly at all that's y she kept falling down when we first bought her
Surprisingly she can fly very well and very fast and now she's always climbing around her cage and very happy and outgoing and eats everything,she just has severe biting problem where she bites SO MUCH without realizing it hurts me or others but she's cute so I'll allow it
I saw here that you are only giving them pellets at dinner. I give mine veggie grainbake in the morning and dinner. Should I only give the bake in the morning rather?
I give them pellets, veggies, fruits and walnuts and leave it out the whole day. But you can definitely split it up and do what you’re doing ☺️
@MimisBirdHouse the veggiegrain dries up so fast. I am not home all but my husband. He forgets to take it out. That's why I give him new for dinner. I see from you outside video that you live where it's green and more humidity. Here in AZ everything dries out. He doesn't like chop. Some veggies handfed. He loves corn and beans (white, red, pinto) which are in his bake. Yeah you are right I keep doing what I do. He looks healthy 😊😚
Should I break up the nutriberries? Mine doesn't know what to do with them. In his first yrs with his first owner he must not have been introduced to many good things.
@@susannemichelsen8879 id recommend getting a humidifier then :) It shouldny hit them directly just in general for the room and it should just be water nothing else :)
@@susannemichelsen8879 yes you can break them up and crumble them if its easier for them to eat :)
Aren't you afraid to open the balcony door when birds are nearby? They could fly outside in a second.
We never open the balcony or any doors for that matter unless they are securely inside a room :)
@@mimisbirdhouse OK, that's what I thought. It just wasn't obvious from the video, which I enjoyed.
Awful scary accident happened... almost happened to us last Sunday. Thanks G-d it ended up good. Still trembling inside.
My White-winged parakeet girl Chica flew through the front door at such a speed I couldn't react and disappeared outside in the flush greens of my garden's kiwi and passion vines.
I spent an hour cutting the plants in desperate hope of finding her. I called her and - thanks to all that advice to play birds sounds on a phone - played her past videos at the maximum volume.
And at some moment I heard her! In the opposite direction, across the road in 300 feet from our house! She overheard my cell phone birds play and answered! I couldn't spot her at first but then noticed her on a small tree in the middle of my neighbor's lawn. And she patiently waited for me running to grab my orchard ladder, she didn't fly away when I put it beside the tree and allowed to grab her!
I was going to put multiple curtains, screens, whatever near the front door but haven't done it yet.
Recently I did install the magnetic screen outside our opposite deck door.
@@VladimirKelman oh my goodness thank the Lord she is okay!!!! That must have been so scary for the both of you! Yes the magnetic doors is good and just always having them in a seperate room while you open doors or have guests coming in and out. Glad to hear everything is alright 🫶🏼
How old are each of the birds?
Mango is 2y
Kiwi is 3y
Luza is 5y
Holaa! Alguno de los tuyos habla?? Tengo uno como los verdes y he visto videos de ellos pronunciando palabras
Si uno de ellos abla y en otro no. No todos los lorros que bueden ablar van ablar. Trate repitiendo la misma palaba o frase todo los diaz. Algunos lo recojer naturalmente y otros necesitan enseñar
@@mimisbirdhouse algún tiempo en específico para enseñarles? El mio tiene dos meses y medio.
@@saudymedrano4758 recomiendo como a los 6-8 meses. 2 meses esta todabia comiendo con formula
What is the ratio of water to vinegar to clean the perches and cage?
1 part vinegar 2 parts water ☺️
@@mimisbirdhouse thank you. 😊 Good video Mimi.
Are they all males ?
The only male is one of the green quakers
@@mimisbirdhouse how do you make it so it doesn’t have babies
sun conure scream doesn't drive you mad?
Yes 😅 when she goes on a tantrum of none stop screaming I have to leave the house. Usually that helps her calm down too
@@mimisbirdhouse I wouldn't be able to handle a sun conure or mitred/cherry head/ blue crown. All very loud conures. Green cheeks , senegals and pionus, etc.. seem to be generally speaking a lot quieter and easier to tolerate. i owned 2 quaker parrots in the past and although they were noisy and sometimes kind of loud, it wasn't soul crushingly loud like a sun conure.
@@captaindip6970 i get it 😅 sun conures and cockatoos have the loudest scream reaching 110 decibles
@@mimisbirdhouse I think cockatoos are a little better though in the sense that they do it less frequently
@@captaindip6970 Speaking to owners of cockatoos they are about the same as suns
