Hi Donna, Summer is soo sweet . I can see shes having a good time exploring her new enviorment.Shes sooo very pretty.Like ive said before , i never knew Kakarikis were this beautiful color.Its always an enjoyable experience watching you and all of your birdie family and doggies
Beautiful, I have a 7 month old turquoise kak, MonteCarlo, still getting used to me as he came from my grandads Avery with 20/40 other birds, but hopefully he loves me like your birds do you ❤️
Hi I have 2 Kakariki called olive and buttercup and buttercup is like summer and great video. And all your birds are so well looked after and mine came out for the first time today.
Omg I love this video! She is sooo cute🥰 the way she just waddles across the cages and peers down😍 i’m still so surprised that she’s so yellow lol, I only ever see green ones in NZ. There are the natural green ones in the wild and in lots of sanctuaries here :).
I have one that looks about the same, I was surprised by his confidence, almost fearless, but kakariki aren't generally very fearful at all, presumably because they have very few natural predators, but mine does remember traumas, a bad vet trip knocked me back for an entire year with his training, and he's now learning very slowly, I think because hes being cautious, he is a ridiculously clever bird, he puts my conure to shame on figuring things out! Be prepared for plenty of poo and food in water dishes, these guys make a mess and their nails grow FAST, or at least Aris do!
There are plenty of vids about Kakarikis on YT.. but I agree.. not that much about care and such... seems Kakarikis are the lesser known of birds which is a shame since they are awesome and pretty easy to tame aswell
@Kakariki Firehawk Most of the Kakariki care videos on TH-cam are very outdated and show them feeding a seed diet and small cages. Luckily Love Of Pets feeds all her birds pellets and vegetables and has great cages!
@@Korbit523 luckily my neighbour has a small vegetable garden so my Kak gets the best of the best, I only use sunflower seeds as a treat. Besides my Kak is an old geezer by now at a respectable age of almost 25 years old. P.s. look for Kakariki Paradise on YT he kinda shows the preferred living standards for those birds 👍
of all the online birds shows i love yours the best It best matches my home I have 2 bird rooms and my dining area holds 2 rehabbing amazons because of the many hours out of cage and ability to fly and move around these two are transformed.They are not tame but they follow me everywhere and take food from my hand but I have to use a stick to move them they still bite my hands and arm even though they want to be near me lol Like you I leave out fresh veggies every day as well some seed for my smaller birds but only Harrison pellets for my amazons I am in Florida and if you are ever down here I would love to meet you in person
one amazon is 25 and is talking for frst time in his life the other is 4 and just last week said his first word Rocky Roo which is the name of a tiny black cap conure trouble maker who was my first rescue and still runs the bird room lol
Hi, I got the wood perch from a pet store. It's in the reptile department as it's commonly buses for reptiles. Here is an Amazon link for the wood amzn.to/3hBBUbD
I need help here, basically my cousin had a cockatiel and a kakariki. It was very clear that he didn't like the kakariki. It had a smaller cage, it was rarely let out of the cage, and always bullied by the stronger cockatiel. My cousin said if I wanted I could take the kakariki and I did. He told me that all kakarikis were flightless, as we've never seen it fly before. I believed him untill I saw this video. My kakariki still doesn't know how to fly, is there anything I can do to help? Is it traumatized so much that it doesn't even fly or could it's wings have been damaged permanently by the cockatiel?
Hi. Does he have his flight feathers? Cage bound birds have to slowly develop their chest and wing muscles to learn how to fly. Let him out of the cage and he should start hopping around and try to fly. You can target train him to start flying. Start by having jump a few inches at a time to your hand or another perch and slowly increase the flying space. What was his diet like?
@@Loveofpets He has his flying wings, I don't know how the previous owner fed him but we give him parakeet and parrot bird food along with eggs, pepper seeds and lemons.
Do you know what a good cage would be for an Indian Ringneck? Like dimensions or possibly a good flight cage you know of. I already have a cockatiel and I'm thinking of getting an Indian Ringneck, I'd definitely keep them in seperate cages even though my cockatiel spends 10+ hours out of his cage on the daily. Thanks.
They are hard to find. I rarely see them available. I was lucky and saw them available on a Facebook group. Join some Kakariki Facebook groups on the Kakariki. You could ask if there are breeders in your area.
You have such a wonderful bird room with absolutely beautiful birds!!! What do you do if you ever have to go on a trip for a few days? I had two birds and I always had an issue with that part of having birds :\
Hi, I got it from Amazon a while ago. I tried to look for a link on the exact cage but could not find it but this one is basically the same but with one door instead of two amzn.to/3lp2iYD
@@Loveofpets i've put them together 2 days in a row for couple hours and they just seem to be looking at each other making some sounds here and there but they do not fight, they just look curious. Do you think i can keep them overnight or not yet ?
It's best not to. Its a 50/50 chance that they could fight. If they are babies they may get along for a while in the cage but once hormones set in it could be dangerous. The Kakariki is too active to be housed in a cage with a cockatiel. You also have to worry about food, perch and toy guarding.
they are like our kidsso owners who treat our birds like family we can distinguish like you would twins by the tiny areas of color or personality that are different
I love your set up! 😍 Wondering if anyone can give me advice A few years ago I got a hand reared kakariki. I believed he was male but can’t be sure. He never had a cage and had an large room filled with ropes and branches to play on. For the first few months having him, he was playful and really attached to me. Then one day he bit me and from then on he would attack me whenever I walked in the room biting my ears and neck. It got so bad I had to get rid of him. Feel so embarrassed to say it but I got bullied by that kakariki 😅 So my question is, any ideas what might have caused this aggression? They are my favourite bird and I’m thinking of getting one next month but I’m scared the same thing will happen :/ Thank you for any advice!! ☺️
Hi, I wish I had an answer for that but it's happened to a few of my birds. The only thing that I can assume is that they are very hormonal and see you as a threat. Baby birds are so loving until they become an adult and hormones kick in. They like to choose their mate and fight others. Did he like another person in your home?
@@Loveofpets thank you so much for replying 🥰 It’s not a busy household so there wasn’t many people for him to meet but for the few he did meet, he seemed to be ok with them. He never bit anyone but me :( I used to let him take bits of food I’d dangle from my mouth (sounds vile I know) and I read somewhere that that can cause them to assume dominance. Other than that I can’t think why he turned so mean. Sorry to hear you’ve had the same issue with your birds. It broke my heart when it happened to me. Thanks again for replying. Sending you and your birbs lots of love from the uk 🤗
Some birds turn on their owner and prefer other people. My Senegal used to like me but changed her mind and likes my husband and son now. She attacks me sometimes.
@@Loveofpets I guess it’s just one of the mysteries of being a bird owner 😅 thank you for your help. I’ve only recently found your channel but I’ve been binge watching all your videos and they’ve been really helpful x
This was a cute video🐤 i love how everyone gets along. In my cage i have budgies and finches they get along great🐦 i do have a question, did you go through the "bluffing" stage with any of your parrots? Im currently going through that with my ringneck. And also birdtricks made a recent video on body language and she said that birds can get aggressive by playing under blankets etc etc. But my ringneck literally does that by himself all the time. He also sometimes plays aggressive with his toys by himself.Should i be worried about that behavior? Hes only around 4 months and a half. Sorry to ask so many questions 🙂
Dona Joy Yes so does mine. I heard the RingNeck goes through bluffing a lot more than any parrot. I’m not sure if that’s true but from what I’m seeing with mine , it seems like it lol
@@mercladydeadpool6350 probably. I try to take her back to cage when she does that but clings on to me 😅 she doesn't bite bite but just comes for it.. i trying to find a balance
Hi, my Ringneck went through a bluffing stage and my Rosella is going through a bluffing stage now. If your bird is aggressive with the toy it's best to take it out and try a new toy like a wooden toy so he can chew it. Move the location of the toy as well.
Just be glad Summer is a female.. when she was a he.. oh dear.. monty would have a issue being the alpha for sure ;P... btw.. maybe I missed it.. but what happened to your other Kakariki.. the one that had some lung issues?
@@Loveofpets aww, am so sorry but indeed sometimes whatever you do or try is not enough to keep a bird alive. The female partner of my Kak passed away rather unexpectedly some 10 years ago without any suspicion of sickness, I tell myself it was a spontane hearth failure or such.
@@Loveofpets Then my Kak, the one in my thumbnail pic, is pretty darn lucky with his elderly age of almost 25, according to what I've read they normally get between 16 and 20 years old in captivity. I guess it is like the roll of a dice, even for us humans
Oh wow! That's amazing. It does depend on the breeding. He must of had healthy parents. Here in Canada Kakariki's are very rare and they most likely are interbred but my Kakariki's parents were imported and not related so I am hoping she will stay healthy

I just love how you filmed this, it's feels like we are in the room, beautiful birds!
she seemed very outgoing, like she wanted to make friends. thats so awesome
Summer is a beautiful bird. Glad it went well with you letting her out in the bird room with your other birds.
You and your birds are just amazing
I hand raised my Kakariki, he is about 3 months old now and is my whole world!

11th comment!
Great video ♥️ Summer reminds me of someone from Pokémon 😂 beautiful bird by the way!
Hi, can I pair my newly bought cockatiel with my 7 month old kakariki together ??
Hi, its best to have separate cages. Let out together under supervision. If they fight you will have to let out separately.
@@Loveofpets i've put them together 2 days in a row for couple hours and they just seem to be looking at each other making some sounds here and there but they do not fight, they just look curious. Do you think i can keep them overnight or not yet ?

Can kakarikis and budgies 'talk' to each other?
How do you tell all your birds apart? Especially the ones that look the same.
they are like our kidsso owners who treat our birds like family we can distinguish like you would twins by the tiny areas of color or personality that are different
It's easy for me to tell them apart as I am their mommy 😄
I wish I could house my Kakariki and my budgies in the same aviary but the kakariki just tries to kill the budgies.
That's too bad. It's best to keep them separated.
I love your set up! 😍
