The "sick" pose got me.. my lovebird was doing that for many months (he seemed perfectly fine until one day when he just passed all of a sudden). And all along I thought he was just being relaxed and was enjoying the view outside. If only Internet existed back then I would have kept myself well informed about the behavior of lovebirds. Thanks for making this video, its very informative. Lovebirds are really affectionate and playful. Mine liked to lick my fingers for almost an hour each time he flies down to find me (made sure my finger was clean too). Now there's no denying that I want a few lovebirds when I'm much older
+derrviel thanks! As you say, it is good to know what is going on with your birds all the time, so it is very important to be able to read their body language. 😜👍🏻 I have some more videos in English, they might help you as well!
My first female Budgie, the second Budgie I owned as a child, got quite sick after a rather cold and damp winter. I spotted her regularly resting in the bottom corner of the cage, disheveled and sniffling. She hung on for months as we tried to treat her with the medicine we were given by the vet, but she eventually passed one night as she slept. She was quite a shy bird, always avoided human contact and never made a sound unless her male companion was annoying her too much. I could never fathom why people disrespect animals so much, especially birds.
Sick pose is universal I think. I had my older rat pass away in my hands today. She just had that look when I went in for afternoon snacks, so I held her and she just went there in my hands. So I'm here looking for comfort in the sweet babies of others. My parakeet Rico is talking his face off while I watch this, I'm getting a lovebird for my birthday/wedding anniversary this summer, so I'm sad but excited at the same time here.
Many people unfortunately make that mistake of thinking they are easy to care for when they are actually so inexperienced. It can make for a very sad bird and a damaged relationship with its owner. So sad to see.
Probably not bad, just the way it was born. But that is just my opinion. You could phone a bird avian vet in your area and just ask them over the phone.
i once has a bird that was always left out bc i had 2 other birds that were mean to it and it was just a baby....... then my other female love bird took care of the baby parakeet... soo sweet!!!! love my birdies!!!
This video helped me understanding my lovebird. I just watched your video on Kira. such a beautiful and loving bird! Rest in peace birdy! You will be missed! You are a wonderful man! These birds are lucky to have you!
Recently my father has allowed my bird to fly around the house. We've had for almost 10 years, but I never got a chance to truly interact with her. This video really has helped me out a lot, and now my bird isn't so uncomfortable around me :)
I used to have a parakeet, but she died when I was 14 :( This video was so cute and made me remember how I observed my parrot back then, and noticed these behaviours. Now, after a long time I wish to have a parrot again, maybe another parakeet or a cockatiel, but I constantly worry that I won't have enough time to take care of it! I miss the cuddling and scratching it's head, while she was sitting on my hand or shoulder~
+Glen Canizalez Thanks Glen! ;) Of course everyone has seen their birds doing all this! we just have to pay attention for a second and think about what they mean... ;)
it's a marvellous gift you give us to share all your good conseils et avis from your expériences avec vos oiseaux ! Big Thanks and Gratitudes ! Namasté !
When we had budgies, our dad wouldn't let us take them out of their cage, so they spent their whole lives in that little space. I've felt guilty about it for a long time, but judging by this video, they still had some happiness, because they'd chitter away for hours. :) Good to know
I felt bad for my lovebirds being trapped up so I would let them out and taught them to fly back into the cage when I called them. Maybe you could try that? 🤔
I used to have birds when i was a child, threy're lovely animals that also wait for you when you're away from home and they feel so happy to see you again.
I have 17 budgies and thankfully see all the pleasant signs your video shows. This is an e.Excellent informative video. Your birds are lovely and well loved. I will be back to watch more of your videos. Great Job!! Thanks for posting this.
I feel rather guilty because my mother decided that I should receive two female budgies, without having foretold me. So I was in a state where I had no real knowledge behind properly caring for the two and I fear that I may have done something wrong. Oh well, I still love them and they appear to be somewhat happy, I just wish I'd watched a few TH-cam tutorials with how to actually keep and care for them.
Thank you. I just wanted to leave a comment of appreciation. It seems your budgies and lovebird are of a similar size, so they get along with each other. I have ten budgies and one conure. They do not fight, but the budgies are starting to take over the conure’s territory. I play more with the conure because she is alone. The budgies like to deal with each other. They are a flock. Thanks again! It is reassuring to get confirmation of my interpretation of their behavior.
Once you know them reading the birds face is like reading a humans face.I loved it when my cockatiel put on her rogue face,and made me wonder what she was about to come up with.
I love how adorable it is when one seems like a threat, they all fly away, like one big team! But they're also more like a family! Kira and Pacquito started arguing.. so even if they're arguing, they still forget about it later (because your birds are getting along really greatly)
My brother had budgies for quite some time. His male was very... hmmm... "enthusiastic".... towards the females. I always knew if he was in one of his excited moods because he'd bob up and down, make the loud screeching noises and try to preen the female perhaps a little too aggressively. :P he'd also do this habitual beak-rubbing on a nearby branch, it almost looked like he was trying to polish it. Have you seen this behaviour before? It was rather entertaining though- he was always far more successful with the ladies if he was in a more relaxed state. They didn't care for his rambunctiousness!
I just got a baby budgie and i was so scared for the body language! He always stretches and does a little energetic shake, i thought he was scared or angry but he’s healthy. This was such a helpful video, thank you so much!!!
I'm surprised to see the lovebird getting along with everyone! I have a lovebird and two linnies and haven't let them interact because lovebirds are so aggressive. Good for him!
I was watching this while I was sitting with my lovebirds! They loved the noises and flew onto my phone to get a better look. So cool seeing the advice in action ❤️❤️❤️
i can tell you how my budgies go to sleep. when the female is ready to sleep, the male sings a calm song to her and they both fall asleep. it realy helps to fall asleep!😁😄
I know right you are absolutely correct.MY 2 budgies have all the good qualities shown in the video vet playful cute happy and the best. No sickness at all
I love this video, thanks so much for all the information that you have shared. I love my birds a lot n watch everything that you explain about their body language on my birds. I spent all day at home with mines n I do enjoy watching them n everything that you have said it correct....they're just a beauty n a Blessing in this world.
+Nayda Colon thank you for your nice comment! :) It was a pleasure to make this video but a lot of work too, so I'm grateful for these comments! 😊👍🏻 and yes, they are a blessing, I love watching them too! 😍
This is one of the best parrot videos I've ever seen. So clear and specific with examples of everything you describe. This must have taken you forever to film. What a fantastic video.
I love your video :) I spent all my life with parrots and last 19 years with my lovebird. He died few years before and I still miss him very much. Watching your pets reminded me of everything and I wished to have a pet again... I dodn't know Roseicollis can live nicely with the Budgies and I am glad they have such a good friendship :)
If you love parrots the best you can do for them is not to buy one, most parrots are in danger of extinction or atleast check if the parrot you are going to buy was breed in captivity or captured.
They'll also raise their wings up when they're stressed or otherwise uncomfortable, sometimes, so your bird is doing that without heat or exertion, it may be a good idea to keep an eye on them and their surroundings.
@Fox Gamer_FG They usually only raise their wings for a second or so when they're stretching, and I actually mentioned the cooling in my comment as a thing to rule out; _yes,_ they raise their wings when they're too warm, _but_ it's most likely discomfort _if_ they have no reason to cool off. Also, I just noticed I missed an "if" in my comment. Maybe that confused you?
You produced an excellent video -- nicely paced, well-written commentary, and visually beautiful. I think you are probably a very good friend to your bird. Given the names of your birds-- Blåbær (Blueberry), Flink (Smart), etc., I wonder if you are Norwegian? When I was very young, we had a budgie who we taught to say "Grandma went to Norway," "Er du garne?" "Vær så snil," and "Skam paa deg!" Our family had a Swedish-American family friend who refused to believe that budgies could talk. Once when he was at our house, our budgie was out flying through the living room. The bird seemed to have taken a dislike to the man. He flew over to our friend and sat on his shoulder. He tried to whisk the bird away, so our budgie immediately perched on the arm of the chair our friend was sitting in and began scolding him with "Er du garne?" then more loudly "Er du GARNE?" and finished with several "Skam paa deg!"s. Our friend never again doubted a budgies intelligence.
Hehe thanks! I am actually spanish but I live in Norway! 😊👌🏻 Good observation! 😜 heheh that is such a good story. They are actually very smart creatures! I love them! You can see the videos I have in Norway! 😊 And when I took my birds on the plane with me!
Thanks, of course... I always like to make their life as best as possible, with natural branches, time to fly outside, things to explore... so they won't be bored inside their cage. And that is exactly what I try to show in my videos... so thanks for noticing that. People will have them anyway, and for what I see, it is not always in the optimal conditions, so it is good to give some information...
Hi hordy! do you have any tips for making that kind of surrounding? I would like to take my bird outside as well, but he'll escape. Also I'd like him to fly more freely around the house too but have the trouble with poop. :/
I agree to, I have two budgies and I am buying a leash for them which harnesses around their wings and belly and the lead clips onto the harness. I’m buying it so the budgies can enjoy some time outside as well
I'm a new owner of two lovebirds, and I'm very surprised by how many things we have to pay attention to. I'm was just so worried that I was not ready to have them, until i found your video. this one was so informative, and straight to the point, not to mention fun to watch! I hope have a great 2022, lots of love from Indonesia x
Very helpful, although I've had my first bungie for three years now and have learned some or her body language from experience this helps clear up the others I was confused or didint know about.
+Yoite that is exactly the best part about using a branch: your birds will only perch there and will therefore ONLY poop there! So if you put newspapers underneath you only need to throw them away afterwards with all the poops in them. 😉
Budgies and lovebirds have small poop, so it's easy to clean up with a tissue if you see them do it. Once dry, though, try a product called Poop Off. It cleans dried bird poop off of almost any surface.
I sold three budgies once one was the normal green, blue and pure yellow with a slight white at the end of its tail. And these looked exactly like mine did 😂
Ooooh I have a new budgie ive had for 5 days...... judging by these emotions in the video. When I put my hand in his cage to get him used to it..... he often looks curious, relaxed or fearful, because of this im assumign its the way I move my hand that triggers the reactions. Does this sound logical to anyone else? This is my first bird and I want to make sure I dont mess this up.
MoonLighttXx I've had mine for about 2 weeks and I've gotten him to perch on my finger but he is still a little scared. But my advice is leave him alone for about 1 week and just kind of look at him and talk to him, sometimes putting your hand in and outside of the cage to let him or her warm up to your hand so you can try to make him perch. After it is used to your hand when it's food is low, get seed in the palm of your hand and hold it very still by his perch or whatever it's on. If it backs up leave it alone or maybe try a few more times. After it's aten from your hand maybe 2 times take a pen, perch, stick, anything small that it can stand on and push it against it's feet or stomach lightly and say, "step up" and keep trying for a few days and after it's done it and gotten used to the phrase, use your finger! Keep trying and build your bond! I hope this was useful.
Budgies won't bread if they don't have a nesting box, right? My two budgies like each other and are dating, and they'd probably have babies if they could.
Great video! Thank you for all the useful info and for the English sub's! I was on my patio last week when a lovebird flew out of a tree and onto my shoulder. Luckily I had budgies when I was a child so I knew how to handle it. I am trying my best to find its owner, but am trying to keep it happy and healthy in the meantime. :-)
This is a wonderful video with great examples :) Everything is very accurate and well explained. I have budgies and lovebirds myself, so this reflects what bird behavior is like. One of the best videos I've seen!
+Le Triste Ange Thanks!! I'm glad you appreciate it! ^^It took me a lot of effort to go through AAAALL my videos and photos trying to find examples of what I wanted to show... ;) I have a few more videos in English that might be useful to you as well, I hope you like them too!
omg i have those same 3 birds the yellow buggie name is cheese, blue buggie name is blue so it bluecheese :P and the lovebird name is rainbow :) great video.
Ah this video is so cute! I have two budgies Tango and Pinocchio and I've had them for a couple months now I got tango first and then Pinocchio, I'm planning on someday to get a lovebird but probably have him in a different cage then my other two budgies :)
very nicely explained video ! recently i have saved a pair of budgies.. and i see everyday how they act...all day long....its good to know whats going on !!!
Thanks!! Well, I try to make all my videos very intuitive, and giving examples of what I say, so u probably can get many things even though u can't understand spanish... 😜 But I'll try to make more videos in English too!
so beautiful, relaxed and informative! thank you so much for this, i am studying about lovebirds as i intend of getting one soon, and this helped me a lot :)
Roxie are you getting one or two? If you have to go to school or do something get 2 because of you have onenandnyou are away it will be bored and will start to pluck its feathers or so I have been told at the pet shop ^-^
This is a larger parrot, but my Amazon would always fluff up his feathers when I sang to him or praised him, like he was having an eargasm. He also liked to show off his wings and be told how pretty they are.
"The male feeds the female to encourage her to breed" - pretty much all my dinner dates summed up
+Robert Plaster hahaha good one. 😂 I guess all of us do it... 😜
As a female, I gotta say giving me food me makes me more accessible.
(sorry for replying on a 7 month old comment) As a dolphin, giving me food makes go back me in the ocean
(sorry for replying on a 8 month old comment) As a Bacteria, Giving me food makes me produce many identical versions of myself like mad
Nati Whatever 💗

You know you are a bird-obsessed person when you recongnize all of this
cherrysplooshie good spelling lol
cherrysplooshie yeah I know
Uumm dude i think hi will get a litel bit angry cuz hi dosent like your coment and im like him now shut up😡😡😡😈😈😈😡😡😡👊😵😈😈😈😈😡😡😡
@@gempjef1635 shut up dude
That wasn’t a bad comment, relax! 😂
birds are the best pets. They're really cute, easy to care for if you know what you're doing, are fun to play with, and are great companions,
A Chicagoan So True! 😘😃
I agree I have two and they are super bonded to me
Yes you are right i have one male bird hes name is Maki im in serbia and imna serbian sooooo yeah bay
Many people unfortunately make that mistake of thinking they are easy to care for when they are actually so inexperienced. It can make for a very sad bird and a damaged relationship with its owner. So sad to see.
this is got to be the most satisfying Bird video I've seen so far
+Solis Invictus Thanks! I'm glad you liked it! I have more videos in English that you might like! Have a look at my channel! 😉
hordygurdy SO CUTE 🐤😍😍
hordygurdy is it bad that only my budgies pupil gets smaller only on one eye
Probably not bad, just the way it was born. But that is just my opinion.
You could phone a bird avian vet in your area and just ask them over the phone.
Padma Nidhi Tiwari no its not dangerous
i once has a bird that was always left out bc i had 2 other birds that were mean to it and it was just a baby....... then my other female love bird took care of the baby parakeet... soo sweet!!!! love my birdies!!!
nallely galvan ♥️♥️♥️
Love the lovebirds but the owner is a cutey too! So loving.
+Lou Weeze hehehe thanks 😜
This video helped me understanding my lovebird. I just watched your video on Kira. such a beautiful and loving

Good for you!
I also noticed when lovebirds are sleepy they do a lot of "mumbling" to each other 😊 I find it quite calming
I used to have a parakeet, but she died when I was 14 :( This video was so cute and made me remember how I observed my parrot back then, and noticed these behaviours. Now, after a long time I wish to have a parrot again, maybe another parakeet or a cockatiel, but I constantly worry that I won't have enough time to take care of it! I miss the cuddling and scratching it's head, while she was sitting on my hand or shoulder~
Get two, then!!
Yep, all the things my love birds used to do. Been 5 years since they passed away and I still miss them :(
+ajaaniajaa sorry for that!! It's amazing how much love they can give and we can feel for them.
It's funny how I'd already noticed many of this behaviors in my birds, but never actually stopped to think want they meant. Loved the video 👍
+Glen Canizalez Thanks Glen! ;) Of course everyone has seen their birds doing all this! we just have to pay attention for a second and think about what they mean... ;)
+hordygurdy I will from now on 😄

I live in the Atlanta area and we have a Lovebird that flies around in our neighborhood for 3 years. Just hangs around looking for handouts.
I feel rather guilty because my mother decided that I should receive two female budgies, without having foretold me.

I think the polish is just to clean off their face
well try seing them mate when you no even 11 yrs old lol not even knowing they are mating to
Yep
This video is soo awesome! Very informative! I want to get a pair of lovebirds one day! Thank you!
Well done video!
Every time mine start to grind their beaks, I feel the need to relax too, it´s so contagious :)
+Ludo the Lovebird Thank you Cedric! :D Right, it is so relaxing!! hehehe I love that sound...
I just got a baby budgie and i was so scared for the body language! He always stretches and does a little energetic shake, i thought he was scared or angry but he’s healthy. This was such a helpful video, thank you so much!!!
i already knew all this but i came here for the quality content of the cute fluff babies and a good human companion!
I'm surprised to see the lovebird getting along with everyone! I have a lovebird and two linnies and haven't let them interact because lovebirds are so aggressive. Good for him!
Love, love, love love, the video. Thank You.

Extremely cool. The detail was phenomenal.
+T Harry thanks!! 😊 happy to hear that!
+hordygurdy Is it possible to get rainbow lorikeets as pets because im in england and there don't seem to be any in the pet stores.
Getting a budgie and was browsing for an educational video about them and this was absolutely the best video I found.
Great job! :)
Thank you so much for this video, it really helped me with knowing that my bird was happy and relaxed! :)
Andrei Moroz-Filoti me too I love you hordy gurdy
This is one of the best parrot videos I've ever seen. So clear and specific with examples of everything you describe. This must have taken you forever to film. What a fantastic video.

When I say pish, my budgie comes to me and vomit on me...
it's pretty funny tho xD
Never seen a bird vomit before...
My cockatiels life! Like the one in the video, they throw out the food
Ehsign S you mean it feeds you
My cockatiels life! 😂😂😂
Ehsign S it is not vomiting it gergats its food
Awww... When the lovebird feeds the budgie is so sweet...
I used to have budgies. Loved em..very social little guys. I'd love to own a parrot some day.
If you love parrots the best you can do for them is not to buy one, most parrots are in danger of extinction or atleast check if the parrot you are going to buy was breed in captivity or captured.
Your birds are beautiful! We had budgies and parakeets when I was a little girl, as well as finches. I miss them a lot.
que bonita imagen los 3 juntos
+Criadero Kimbi jejeje si verdad? :D Gracias Fran! Un saludo!

this is one of the best Bird videos I've seen you truly love them

I needed for my Lovebird to know what he/she is doing all the time.
Lovely

And that is exactly what I try to show in my videos... so thanks for noticing that.

Shaade Silentpaw my birds must stay in cuz they hate humans. (even if they where born with me they are scared of me)
Hi hordy! do you have any tips for making that kind of surrounding? I would like to take my bird outside as well, but he'll escape. Also I'd like him to fly more freely around the house too but have the trouble with poop. :/
I agree to, I have two budgies and I am buying a leash for them which harnesses around their wings and belly and the lead clips onto the harness. I’m buying it so the budgies can enjoy some time outside as well
Well where I live people shoot birds and eat them so keeping them as pets is better than letting them get eaten... 😐😔
I'm a new owner of two lovebirds, and I'm very surprised by how many things we have to pay attention to. I'm was just so worried that I was not ready to have them, until i found your video. this one was so informative, and straight to the point, not to mention fun to watch! I hope have a great 2022, lots of love from Indonesia x
Thank you! Good luck with your lovebirds!! Check out all my other videos too! 😉
Baby parakeets/budgies look like little old men! lol! The love bird needs another love bird.
Justice L Budgies are a species of parakeet not an alternative name. Parakeets are the smallest of the parrots.
Jules Nagbunga parakeets are not always the smallest of parrots, Indian ring necks are bigger than conures for example.
The smallest parrot that you can own is a parrotlet lol
Not necessarily. I adopted a widowed love bird and her and my parakeet became a bonded pair.
Very helpful, although I've had my first bungie for three years now and have learned some or her body language from experience this helps clear up the others I was confused or didint know about.
this vidéo made my lovebird fly on my sholder for the first time!! yaay!
That's great!! :D Good job!
Lovely birds ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹❤️🌹
What do you do about poop though? I'd love to have bird furniture and branches out for them to perch on, but wont they crap on everything?
+Yoite that is exactly the best part about using a branch: your birds will only perch there and will therefore ONLY poop there! So if you put newspapers underneath you only need to throw them away afterwards with all the poops in them. 😉

Budgies and lovebirds have small poop, so it's easy to clean up with a tissue if you see them do it. Once dry, though, try a product called Poop Off. It cleans dried bird poop off of almost any surface.
+Anne Haight does poop off work with human babies too
That was super informative and helpful. Cant imagine how long it took to capture all of that. Thank you!
I sold three budgies once one was the normal green, blue and pure yellow with a slight white at the end of its tail.
And these looked exactly like mine did 😂
So nice seeing your budgie and lovebird get along. My lovebirds are agressive to my budgies so I always let them out separately
Good job, educational!
Thanks!
Yup
This video is awesome and I can't stop smiling even the music
Thanks!! 😊 I'm glad you liked it!! I also think the music was perfect for the video! 😜
I love how this video is so detailed! keep up the work man!
Beautiful. I adore budgies and would love some but have a cat. My parents have a cockatiel called Jasmine and she's awesome hehe. i've subbed x
I came here just for the birbs and i got two new artists and a lot of songs to enjoy this next week, thanks a lot +hordygurdy :)
Ooooh I have a new budgie ive had for 5 days...... judging by these emotions in the video. When I put my hand in his cage to get him used to it..... he often looks curious, relaxed or fearful, because of this im assumign its the way I move my hand that triggers the reactions. Does this sound logical to anyone else? This is my first bird and I want to make sure I dont mess this up.
MoonLighttXx I've had mine for about 2 weeks and I've gotten him to perch on my finger but he is still a little scared. But my advice is leave him alone for about 1 week and just kind of look at him and talk to him, sometimes putting your hand in and outside of the cage to let him or her warm up to your hand so you can try to make him perch. After it is used to your hand when it's food is low, get seed in the palm of your hand and hold it very still by his perch or whatever it's on. If it backs up leave it alone or maybe try a few more times. After it's aten from your hand maybe 2 times take a pen, perch, stick, anything small that it can stand on and push it against it's feet or stomach lightly and say, "step up" and keep trying for a few days and after it's done it and gotten used to the phrase, use your finger! Keep trying and build your bond! I hope this was useful.
We loved loved loved this video!! We have a peach face love bird and he exhibits the exact same behavior!! Thanks for sharing!
Budgies won't bread if they don't have a nesting box, right? My two budgies like each other and are dating, and they'd probably have babies if they could.
mine bred with no nest but eggs kept dying
Didn't know budgies and lovebirds could go so well together. Thanks for the video, both educational and adorable :)
So all this time my two male budgies were courting each other. Well then.
Great video! Thank you for all the useful info and for the English sub's! I was on my patio last week when a lovebird flew out of a tree and onto my shoulder. Luckily I had budgies when I was a child so I knew how to handle it. I am trying my best to find its owner, but am trying to keep it happy and healthy in the meantime. :-)

*kisses the other bird*
OMG OMG OMG I DID IT OMG I KISSED HER AHAHJWJ
This is a wonderful video with great examples :) Everything is very accurate and well explained. I have budgies and lovebirds myself, so this reflects what bird behavior is like. One of the best videos I've seen!
+Le Triste Ange Thanks!! I'm glad you appreciate it! ^^It took me a lot of effort to go through AAAALL my videos and photos trying to find examples of what I wanted to show... ;) I have a few more videos in English that might be useful to you as well, I hope you like them too!
R.I.P kira

Ah this video is so cute! I have two budgies Tango and Pinocchio and I've had them for a couple months now I got tango first and then Pinocchio, I'm planning on someday to get a lovebird but probably have him in a different cage then my other two budgies :)
I like your videos. you really should kill the music so it will be more enjoyable or turn down the volume so we can better hear the animals

Great video! Thanks for the English subtitles also, I watch all your videos even when I don't understand what is being said 🙂
Thanks!! Well, I try to make all my videos very intuitive, and giving examples of what I say, so u probably can get many things even though u can't understand spanish... 😜 But I'll try to make more videos in English too!
118 people I wouldn't want to meet
+Joan Ruiz Jacob hehe right... 😊❤️

Your videos seem very educational! It'll be a while yet, but I'll have to check out your videos if I ever get a budgie.
Lovely video, thanks, and compliments on your beautiful, healthy, happy birds x
This is very helpful. I just got a pair of love birds. One just flew away less than 30 min ago. Only one left with me now. I hope we will bond.
He didn’t last long! 😓 you should check out my last video...
so beautiful, relaxed and informative! thank you so much for this, i am studying about lovebirds as i intend of getting one soon, and this helped me a lot :)
I am getting a budgie sometime this week so I have been looking at so many bird videos and I'm so excited
Roxie are you getting one or two? If you have to go to school or do something get 2 because of you have onenandnyou are away it will be bored and will start to pluck its feathers or so I have been told at the pet shop ^-^
What a lovely video, as heartwarming as it was informative, thank you for taking the time to share. 😄
This is a larger parrot, but my Amazon would always fluff up his feathers when I sang to him or praised him, like he was having an eargasm. He also liked to show off his wings and be told how pretty they are.
This video was excellent! Your birds are soo cuute!! Give them a kiss for me :)
Flink Jr is such an adorable budgie :D Great video
Thank you!! Yes he is so adorable!!
What about that behavior in the very beginning of the video, at 0:25? The blue budging vibrating his wings?
