I got two adult parakeets from a local breeder, I already knew that it would be a lot harder to diet change, and tame them because they were caged the entire time they were there. I’ve had them for a year now and we’ve made MAJOR improvements! They’ve allowed me to be able to pet them, they love perching on my hand, and one of them loves being outside of the cage (the other one is still working on it), they’ve fully diet changed from an all seed diet to the healthiest of pellets, fruits, and veggies, they also now live in a super clean cage (and in the biggest cage I was able to afford). I’m super proud of them ❤❤
I got 2 parakeets from a pet store, and was able to get them to eat from my hands under 24 hours (we got them at night so we just made sure they had enough food and water and didn't bother them until the next day). I was also able to get them to come onto my hand within 48 hours. Though getting them to eat vegetables took around 4-5 days (we left only fruits and veggies for about 2 hours with some seeds sprinkled on top to get them interested, and then if they didn't eat any we would replace it with fruit pellets. This channel (Bird nuggets) and 1 other channel (ElleAndTheBirds) were the reason I was able to get them to adapt to their new home so fast. I am forever grateful and thank you for reading
My experience with budgies has taught me that just because a bird doesn't want to interact or be touched, it does not mean they do not like you. I have owned budgies for many years now, though it is difficult to recall the exact number as it has been such a long time. I originally purchased two budgie chicks from the local pet store. These budgies ended up breeding within my apartment each year, providing me with new batches of baby budgies to care for. In addition to their offspring, the descendants of those original budgies have continued breeding as well.
Over the years living with these budgies, I have observed that most do not enjoy being touched or handled. Some individuals are more tolerant than others, but in general my flock of budgies prefers to not have hands grasping or petting them. This is simply their natural behavior and temperament, not a reflection of how they feel about me as their caretaker. Occasionally one will allow me to briefly hold them on my shoulder, but such interactions are rare. More often if I try to pick them up, they will quickly fly away or even nip at my fingers with their beaks.
When a budgie nips or pecks in response to being held, it is usually a signal that they do not like the way they are being restrained. Budgies are small birds with fragile bones, and they do not feel secure when wrapped tightly in a hand. They prefer to perch on a finger where they have freedom of movement. Their bites are a method of communication to request a style of handling that makes them feel safer and less confined. It is an instinctual reaction, not a sign that the bird is truly aggressive or dislikes their owner as a person.
At other times, a budgie may squawk or scream loudly, which some people interpret as a sign of anger or distress. In my experience, vocalizations are often just the budgies conversing with one another in their flock. Loud squawks could indicate a budgie is playing, exploring, or trying to get the attention of its cagemates. Rather than reflecting negative emotions, the noises are a normal part of how budgies socially interact.
In conclusion, while not all budgies enjoy physical contact, this does not mean they do not feel affection or attachment to their caregiver. Their natural behaviors should not be misunderstood as signs of dislike. With patience and by respecting their small stature and preferences, owners can build trust with their budgies over time.
Why’d you let the two birds keep breeding?
My budgie is a rescue and I fully believe she choose me out of the 27 other residents whom I lived with in GRH. The reason I say this is because my budgie only allows me to hold her; well I can sniff her, kiss her head and she will preen my ears. She must think I’m a budgie too lol. I did not use any treats to teach my budgie how to come to me and tame her, like I said she wanted the bond and I respected her.
My two budgies are hand trained and they come to us, but be aware that this is on their terms, not ours. Also I've found they are more likely to be around us in the evenings rather than the daytime.
Don't touch your bird against their feathers, but only in the same direction their feathers grow. They love to be touched under the chin. Don't touch their back or wings. It's very uncomfortable for them and scary. If you hold their feet to keep them from flying away, be very careful not to press too hard. You can break their bones. A shivering and shaking bird is very terrified. Be very gentle. the lightest touch to us is very heavy to them, and their tiny bones are easily broken. Always move slowly, gently, and surely. Keep the air very clean and pure. Birds can die from air polluted by chemicals from your carpet, etc. Keep their cages very clean. Bird mites are the cause of itching and lost feathers and are highly contagious from one bird to another. . Clean your bird's cage every day and be sure to rinse it well. If the perches get dirty, replace them. Keep all their toys very clean every day too, especially food and water containers. Try to use metal and not plastic. Keep your bird away from drafts. And don't keep them close to the floor, but higher up than cold floor air. This is especially important in winter, or if you lose power. The same goes for overheating. Birds are very sensitive and can die from an open window draft in winter. Be sure to always wash your hands before you touch your bird and keep your nails clean. Birds can pick up colds from us. Don't use any harsh or gritty chemicals like Comet or Mr. Clean. Just use gentle dish soap to clean their things and rinse thoroughly. Birds are very sensitive to chemicals. Avoid keeping their cages in hot sun. Letting them be beside a window is nice, but within view of or near feeders for outside birds is just psychologically cruel to them. Never punish your bird, simply gently move it away or place it in its cage. Like cats and dogs, they have memory only for minute to minute and don't understand good and bad. Moving suddenly towards them, like lurching, or suddenly looming over them is very frightening to them. Birds are triggered by movement above because that is where birds of prey come from to pounce on them. So always keep your hands in their direct view and never come down on them from above. Try to think like your bird, from your bird's point of view. When your bird is out of its cage, don't leave the fridge door open, or the freezer door open. Bad things can happen. Never have a fan with unprotected blades around your bird. Make sure you don't forget your bird is out of its cage when you open or close your outside doors. When you close inside doors, and your bird is out, be sure to check the top of the door before you close it and check the room too. Don't want to lock the little guy up away from food and water! . If your bird is out, always leave the cage door open for access to food and water on demand. Love your birdie and it will love you too.
dang bro wrote a whole chapter
This is all great advice. Wish more ppl who decide to bring birds home understood many of your suggestions that you shared, as sadly -many do not. Thank you
I ain't readin allat
commenting to come back on this from time to time
Thank you!!
Try putting a phone with rollercoaster POVs on outside their cage. It wont frusterate them like other birds can, simulates flight and has pleasent sounds and music to listen to.
This got our budgie to adore me over his actual owner.
1 year with my budgie loving her huge multi branch perch. Never ever caged again. She can fly anywhere in the home. Cover up spots that could be unsafe, like a kitchen sink drain hole. Next to being free outside, she has the second best life
We’ve had an albino parakeet for several months and she will not get on anyone’s finger, she will start fussing if the door is open, when comes out she’ll fly a little bit and then sit on the floor and walk around, she will climb to a corner of the cage and start fussing. She is active, she jumps and hops around her cage, plays with her bells, she loves on the bells and makes small squeaks, she will chirp some but as much as she used to. Anytime my wife comes up to her she’ll fly up to the corner of her cage. My wife loves her so much and wants so bad for her to get on her finger but she won’t. My wife has touched the feathers on her chest but that’s about it. She almost got the bird to eat from her hand but just nibbled on her finger near the food.
I’ve had one of my birds for over a year now, and we just started making progress! Something I started to do the past few days is hang around the stairs, which is near their cage. I like to sit there so they can still see me while I’m also not invading their personal space. After they got a little more comfortable with my presence, I like to sit in front of their cage so I can seem like I’m at the same level as them and not towering over them. While sitting there, I like to talk to them very softly and make sure my movements are slow and not too sudden. I also like to offer treats at the gate so I don’t have to reach inside the cage, which is very scary to them. My bird has gotten comfortable to the point where he will preen in front of me, talk back to me, and also knows when I’m coming with treats, so he waits for me at the gate, and it’s the cutest thing ever! ☺️
I think the main thing that really secured it was me talking to him ❤️
My birds walk back and forth in front of the door as if to say “let me out let me out let me out” it’s pretty funny coz they know if I’m home they get to be out
Same 😂😂
My bird hates me, but it loves me at the same time. I don’t know why, but it eats in front of me preens and play with toys
Same, my bird always eats in front of me, play with his toys and sometimes he sings but the always tremble when he's on my finger. Thats weird
I guess all birds are different. I have two males and they have extremely different personalities; one loves to be around me and the other doesn’t, but both love sitting with me. Weird.
same w8th my cockatiel
My bird never leaves me alone. Lol. He loves me
lucky 😭
That blue bird looks like my budgie that died........he was the best and i just woke up to it 😢
I love bird 🕊️
I'm getting mixed signals from this channel...
My bird loves me, doesn't like me, but cares about me.
This is just my opinion okay. Here is what I did that helped my budgie. You see mine was a rescue, and she was in a state of fear and shock. Also at that time I wasn’t planning on having any pets, but another resident that found her brought her into our building. I fully believe that animals choose their owners. That’s number one. Secondly, proximity is key. Do not go tapping the cage, it scares them even more. In the beginning with my budgie, I’d come close enough to her but I only looked at her without saying a word. I spoke to her with my eyes, lol. I felt like I knew first hand what it was to be abandoned in the cold. We stared at each other in silence for some time. Next I noticed her water was dirty so I began to change her water everyday. I have a soft sing song voice similar to Disney character Aerial and I would repeat just few phrases each time I stopped by to change my parakeet drinking water. She became fascinated with my long nails maybe because she play bite thinking it was same as a beak. I was doing all these things without giving her treats or knowing how to tame a bird. By this time, my budgie recognizes me, and she allowed me to touch her. For fun, I’d sing Disney songs while she is on my shoulder. She gave everyone else who tried sticking their finger in her space a nasty bite and she would move away. I taught her how to come out of her cage, she would perch on my finger or shoulder (yes I get pooped on a lot) preen my eyes, ears, nibble my nails, shirt, I mean this traumatized bird went from being a statue to something else. Oh and her favorite thing was that I speak to other budgies on TV while she sits on my finger and chirps. In her mind, I’m also a budgie. I had to get an ESA letter to allow my parakeet to stay with me. Lastly, smell matters a lot to your birds or at least it matters to mine. She freaks out if I put on any kind of scent. So don’t wear strong smelling stuff. I know all her likes and dislikes. Finally, please tell your pets how special they are and be patient with them. Look mine is naughty as heck okay! She’s like a 2 year old.
my bird loves me most of the time and hates me sometimes😂
I had my bird for 4 years and it only sometimes lands on my knee or shoulder and that's enough to make my heart melt. It sees me as some kind of safety landing spot. For example, if it gets tired while flying it lands on my neck and sometimes even take a nap.
aww that’s so adorable!
8:12 bird go blepbleplepblep
WHY IM SO STUPID I THINK THE SCREAMING BIRDS IS FUNNY💀✋️
❤❤love yours videos
I got a bird that I adopted recently like a couple months ago I’m sure he will like me in the future also strange coincidence we got a same looking bird the blue one with stripes
My budgies and my common both love me I give them treats for birds and play with them and feed them I love my birds❤❤❤so much
The cage and food one is relatable. But their vet bills definitely outweigh that. One I addopted was sick and had a toe that was black and falling off
When my budgie came on my hand for the first time it trusted me then the next day it was running away from me as if it forgot me😢
So cute parrot
He's so cute
My bird always come to greet me when I walk past the cage, and she often fly towards me and land on my shoulder or head. She even seek me out when I sit on the toilet, but she really hate my hand (she will however step up, but not when she's inside her cage). My nose is allowed to pet her though 😅
3:56, "find them a better owner", bud here in egypt they wont find a better home, trust me
My bird paces back and forth on her stick every time I don’t answer her 10 billion chirps. So it’s not always a bad thing.
i’m currently 14. i have to spend hours away from my birds because i have band camp for 8 hours. but i leave their cage open and they fly around the house. sometimes my mom talks to them, but i try my best with them.
I don't think, that my budgies hate me, but they weren't big fans of the medical treatment, they had to get for the last 7 days. I hate medical treatment, because they won't take medicine on their own most of the time and if I have to catch and give them meds, they are always sceptical of my presence days later. And they like to spit/sneeze meds into my face 😑
My vet told me to use a small, soft, thin cloth to catch them, so I still feel the bird in my hand but they don't see the hand (because it is "disguised") and they can't bite me as bad as they used to. It did in fact work. They are still cautious when I'm close to their cage, but they don't freak out anymore when I give them food or a water change.
( I would appreciate if u read this comment) So I have a budgie called Rosie that me and my sister share now because my budgie died last year in August because she was sick. None of the doctors close to us treated budgies and we were having a heat wave so we couldn’t take her far away because it was way to warm. Her name was Sunny and she used to always hop into my hand always telling Rosie like it’s okay they are friendly and all. But she passed away and now Rosie wants absolutely nothing to do with us. I am convinced that Rosie thought I hurt Sunny. I cried for weeks after she passed away. We think she is lonely but she was always the type of bird that would pick at other birds and things. So we didn’t get her a friend cause my mom was scared that Rosie would hurt the other bird. Now I am trying to spend more time with her and make her like me but she is always avoiding me and whenever I need to get something from one side of the cage she waddles to the other. And a few day ago she started shaking her head around and seeds were flying out of her beak. I told my mom and she tried to have a look at her but she kept waddling away. I would love some advice to help me for her to actually come near me. (Sorry for my bad grammar if there is something spelt wrong hope u get it and can figure out what I am saying)
Im learning from you so I can convince my parents to get one 😂 2:41
my bird hate me and my hand too 🙂💔
Fr what can i do :CCC
My bird hates my hands but not my face
I love ❤ ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ birds
My pet conure loves being held upside down on his back and he loves it when I stroke his wings
I love the video
Bu kanal harika ve özeldir. Fas'tan selamlar, özel kanalımdan.
Thanks for all the tips
glad to know my budgie likes me.
My husband raised Budgies when he was a teenager and he claimed some of the birds wanted to 'mount' his hands, and always got confused why. it was because he was rubbing their backs... he probably had no clue
Do you recommend bird harnesses? Bc I wanna get one for my lil guy but I’m not sure
Bird nuggets i need help. My bird is okay with getting on my finger inside the cage but when its outside it's cage he keeps running away from me. Can you make a video on why this is happening? And what to do to make them not run away?
Hi i have a question for y'all.. I'm a budgie owner i have budgies as pets since 3 years and now i have 2 budgies.. few days ago my tamed budgie accidentally flew away i can't stop thinking about him btw now I'm thinking to buy another bird but not a budgie this time.. i want to buy a bird and tame it so should i get a indian young ringneck or a young cockateil? Which one will be easier to tame? And btw I've never had these birds i only had budgies but ik alot about cockateils and ringnecks since i did my research.
Well, they are both easy to tame, they are very social if raised from a chick. I would advise you to spin a wheel on google, because their both quite tame!
Yep,My bird hates me😭😭
I want two or more budgies. I stay at home and work part time from home. I love cleaning and caring for animals.
Please stop using so loud music, it's hard to hear what you are saying 😢
Sorry but u just don’t have fucking good ears!
Not it’s not
@@Charlie_the_steak76first time watching their video... id say the music is a "bit" loud
WELL the bird starts this.hmmmm its gna be some cats dinner
🎉❤🎉
Ok, but is there any way to get the birds to like you and regain their trust?
I Love my Bird and he loves me ❤
I love my birds but they hate me 😢
Me too😢 but there not with me anymore
@@eriklopez5456 that’s so sad. I lost my birds to when I was younger
@@KateAizawa-cb6zl me too 😢
@@eriklopez5456 yea it’s just so sad.
@@KateAizawa-cb6zl i know😢
My bird is only scared of my fingers, but trusts me
i came to yt just to type "how to find if your bird i annoyed by you" but looks like it read my mind instead
While my conure loves me, I still like to make sure I'm doing everything right
I wonder, though
Does all of this apply to conures? I know alot of it does, but I wanna know out of reassurance sake
OK so we’re trying to get my birds used to being outside so they don’t fly all around the place
But how long will it take for them to get inside a birdhouse they bought
One of ky parrots always tries to bite evryone but thats because of his previous owners they werent treating him really well after seven years just now he is getting comfortable in here and actually not try to bite us
I don't know I got like 3 or 4 of the first things and something too in the other words, it's like 50 50. It's like one word says your bird is feeling safe and the other word is saying your bird isn't feeling safe
❤
My cockatiel is obsessed with me and loves me to much
hey bird nugget. Ive got a cockatiel and i had him for 1 year . He lets me scratch his head but bites me if i do something wrong. Can you help?
Budgies jumpscare 6:00 6:50
I found a parakeet outside in the rain. One wing was clipped. He was pretty scared. He looked fairly young. He doesn't like it when I put my hand in cage. What can I do ?
4:43 my bird doesnt live in the cage she flies around wherever she wants even outside the balcony and know when to get in the house
but is it still bad not putting the bird in cage?
Why were you zooming into that bird that was funny ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
¡It's is more CUTEEE!!!! 3:02
The phone thing is soooo real
my bird sadly comes from a previous owner who mistreated him, he has pure panic of hands or even fingers and often panics even at night so I have to turn on the light that he clams down. I don't know if he would ever be tamed or even stops panicking everytime I come too near. I don't know what i should do anymore..
My bird don’t do any of this. They do stuff on demand they do not hide. They’re always fluffy, but they do pluck their feathers. They don’t look bald But they’re always fluffy when they I thought you were just preening they’re probably means standing on the stick. Oh well.☺️☺️
My two budgies love to be with me. In my shoulder or even in my hand.
But my two cockatiels, even if they love singing with me or playing or eating from my hand in the cage, when i take them out of the cage, they are a little scared and they put in the highest place of my living room. Is ok, i dont bother them while they are there, but they never come to me. They only are in that place for a while and then came back to the cage, its been 2 years😭.
❤😊😊😊😊❤
My birb Pinky always knows when my wife is around because of her voice and perfume. And the same with my kids they're noise. 🐦😂
You can see my birb Pinky picture on my Channel community if you want. ❤🐦❤
My bird had a another bird friend living with him in his cage (we bought them that way) they loved me and would perch on my hand often, I would hand feed them, and constantly pet them but the first bird came sick, and a few weeks later it died, it’s dead body was in the cage so I took it out, ever since then my bird has been biting me whenever I try to change its food and water, and whenever I get my hand inside his cage. I have a few predictions why this might happen, but I’m not sure, can anyone help please?
I rescued a bird like 2 days ago it only just hatched and it was already thrown off the tree, it was very weak and needed help, so I adopted it
my bird gets really exited when i come home from school but he hates it when I touch his head and he kisses me but stll he dosent like me touching it what should I do please telll
He took my birb give it backkkkk

My new budgie keeps running back forth, and turns back sometimes at me
Is this okay with new budgies???
Bird nuggets, l bought a 5 months male budgie a week ago, and today I tried to feed him Millet spray, but he doesn't want it and he's too scared to eat seeds from me, what should I do?
It’s normal for a bird to not eat millet immediately since it doesn’t know what it’s is you just have to offer it until it eats. But before you do that you have to get your bird to get used to you
SCREAMINGFUL
❤❤❤
Yeah now make one about African greys lol
My birb passed away of depression bc I had to travel to my country my cousin fed them well only one is left and I know it’s bad cuz they don like being alone she doesn’t eat😭
My pet macaw can say hi and goodnight and good morning
So when I come back from school he greets me
My girlfriend has got a Hahns Macaw, the Macaw loves her so much but with me, he seriously hates me. But I have tried talking to the Macaw and he talked back to me but he did nip me and after that he had a right strop.
Hello i need help, i have a budgie and im worried about his weight, its only 27g and he's an adult male. What should i do to make him gain weight??😢😢
What can I do when my bird fly away and hes sitting on the top of tree? Like.. how can I get him down and somehow grab him and také him home? It was accident that little guy fly away.
How dare you little budgie do you think I think?
Is there by chance a healthy food you recommend
Harrisons bird pellets, and veggies that are safe for your bird!
@@apishithanks
Good informative video. (Music too loud)
MORNING
I wear nail polish sometimes and my bird bites my finger and when I hide my fingers it stops then it tries to find my fingers and it becomes mad and aggressive starts biting me and of course I cant let him bite my nail polish he will eat it so but he never bites me when I wear nails wt does this mean?
The nail polish maybe smells to him
I have a bird that always try to hurt me, i think he is just playing with me, its more wild type of bird, if you understand what i mean
It's not all cookie cutter. My bird exhibits all of these, but when I let her out of the cage, she doesn't want to leave my shoulder and starts to preen me and herself... But... these signs have given me a good excuse not to give her as much attention as I have been.
My bird HATES THE CAGE
