pov: your parents didn't agree for bird but you still watch videos like this and take notes
Good
When it's time you need to have a letter prepared with all the reasons you need a bird too (I did it via text)
@@funkyfreakyandfabulous9743 I tried to make them feel like I am responsible enough to have bird but even my brother didn't agree,, you know my parents see only the bad things about birds
Arguments doesn't work at them ):
dude, you’re not alone! :(
@@kashimea_ I was 10 when I realized I wanted a bird. I've been getting "no" for years but then I moved out and I live with my grandparents (to care for them) and now I have a yes. I will be 20 by the time my baby conure will be old enough to go home with me. I'm 19 now.
It takes time. When I was 10-12 I did soooooooo much damn research and I thought I was ready. Although I'd never admit it to my family I know realize how not ready I was. Doing research now I'm learning so many things that I never did when I was 12. It's actually insane how much I didn't know.
The most annoying thing is having a bunch of people believe that you can't do it.
A bird is like a toddler with extra hazards lol and they never grow up and leave you either. So me being a super clingy person my whole life I'm very very excited. I've cried tears of joy dozens of times thinking about this little bird. I'm also extremely nervous I will mess up. I can't bear the thought of putting my heart and soul into another creature (and all that money too) just so that it will die. That would probably end me. It's a huge thing and I'm really very sad for you. I've experienced birdless pains for half my life but if it's that much of a priority for you, you will get there eventually, to the point where a bird will be possible. When that happens please look me up because I'd love to be bird pals.
I'm looking to create a birdy support network so I don't fk this up.
Sorry for the long text I have no clue where I'm going with all this.

@@oliviadolan4680 NP!
i was watching this video for like the 5th time and i was reading your list and right as she started talking about rope perches i read you said rope perches:0 bahaha
what do you do if you don't have an avian vet anywhere in your country???
@@willowythecat-dragon5755 Best thing would probably be to look for an exotic vet that treats birds and then if they're not available a normal vet that will treat birds
"Birds can starve themselves when you suddenly change their food"
Whiskey and Blue (my birds); *destroyed the whole bowl of pallets cause they liked it so much*
:D
same
❤😂
Bar spacing and sizing is so important that i wish I would have known before my bird passed away due to him getting his wing caught on the floor of the cage. It was a large cage where he was able to fly but I never knew about the possibility of him injuring himself. Hopefully other bird owners will take this video seriously so they can prevent any injury and death for our feathery companions ♡
A bird owner can’t live without Live Laugh Birds.
IKR
Yes
agreed, i am one myself and her channel really helped
I don't even own a bird lol and I still watch this channel.
Omg thank you
I have everything noted down ...
I have more bird notes than study notes lol
same, i have so many papers with just notes of what i need and how to take care of a bird
samee
OH MY GOD I'M SO EXCITED FOR MY CONURRRRRE but I'm still preparing. I got a journal full of notes lmao
@@cicada2239 we're gonna have to refine them so when we need information we aren't skimming through notes like a dictionary XD
@@funkyfreakyandfabulous9743 i am gonna get a Cockatiel this year :D
Pov: your parents agreed to buying u a bird so now ur studying and doing ur research

Parakeet world bruh it’s called a joke
Marley’s World
Ye ik, i was going to type that ik it's a joke in the comment, but didn't know how to word it
Say hi to your budgies for me 🥰
Live Laugh Birds
Tell ducky that my budgie always screams when she sees her
( she goes crazy idk why🤪)
when the TH-camr that actually cares responded to the comment you worked hard on:
"I HAVE BEEN APPROVED BY THE GREAT ONE."
(buy the merch, please)
I approve
Live Laugh Birds THANK YOU YOUr GREATNESS (also lol)
@@ElleAndTheBirds .... Your channel is really useful ♥️
Yea i agree
I actually stumbled upon your channel by pure accident. I've recently inherited a cockatiel. He's an older boy and has honestly been treated horribly most of his life. His cage is entirely too small, he was sat in a room alone and never allowed out of his cage, and his previous owners smoked in the house. When he would scream because he was bored and lonely, they would yell at him, bang on his cage, cover him, etc. I didn't know anything about birds but I knew he needed a better home than that. In my research I stumbled upon your channel, and I just want to say a massive THANK YOU because your videos have helped us improve his life so much. With your advice, we now have a much larger cage on the way with plenty of perches and toys for him to enjoy, and we hope that making him more comfortable will be one more step in getting him to trust us.
No THANK YOU for giving your cockatiel the life he deserves!!!
@@ElleAndTheBirds I do have a question in regards to the new cage. We have now moved him into it but he seems to be afraid of his new perches and seems to be afraid to fly at all while in the cage. He sees where his food is but refuses to go to it. Should I temporarily move the food to where he is currently comfortable until he learns the new perches or should I leave it as is so that he can adjust to it?
💚💛💜🖤❤💟💕💖💗💙
me: * grabs twig from outside *
live laugh birds: make sure to know what wood your using because it might not be safe for birds
me: * throws twig back outside not knowing what wood it is *
Lol
I was going to use a twig that is a mango wood (which is unsafe) because I thought it was a dao tree so I thought it was safe but before I used it I found out it was a mango tree branch so I threw it to the garbage can and got guava branches instead (which are safe)
You should do a video where you do DIY bird toys because some people can’t go to the store. Like if you agree.
PVC is a good way to make cheap DIY stands just to let you know. Just wrap them with natural cord and you are good. If you really want to get creative though PVC bends very easily when heated up so you could use a heat gun(heat it outside as heating inside is neither good for you or your bird.) Then you could bend it into whatever shape you want.
Absolutely!! Especially with some stores still closed and online orders taking a while :)
Live laugh birds do you think you can make a video about it?
You: parrots are extremely active
Caption: carrots are extremely active
Me: dying of laughter
Lmao 😂😂
FanOfTH-camrsYT
it's true... 😂
ElleAndTheBirds :O what you cuss? D:
Jacob Chavolla
The "a" word isnt that bad.
Jacob Chavolla Saying lmao isn’t exactly cussing u know.
i love your channel so much! it shows that even if you're a kid and go to school, you can still get a bird and it's not 'cruel' as some people state. as long as you do your research, and devote your time to your feathered friend, it'll be okay! we're in a time right now where getting a bird might not be the best option no matter how much you want it (me for an example LOL) and it's best when everything is cooled down and you and your friend can live the best life possible!
I love seeing the special connection you have with your birds. Make watching these videos a joy to watch. 💚
Me: has a bird, with all the supplies needed.
Also me: clicks while making weird screaming noises.
Love your Chanel, and get excited every time you post.
Lmaoo 😂
Chanel or Channel
Agreed
PREETIKA CHAUHAN online, and from my local bird shop. I also now she has and amazon list, so check the description.
Don't forget to mention that you need to bathe your bird regularly. This will clean their feathers and get rid of dander. A spray bottle, a shallow bowl of water, anything similar to this will do. Just no shampoo as this will damage the protective coating on their feathers.
Yesss!
Yep
@@rachelg.4932I think a better way to make parrots be more enthusiastic about bathing is running water. Cat fountains or DIY bird baths(either terracotta ones or ones made using a plastic tub, water pump and aquarium hosing) are a great way to make one.
As this video is getting recommended I’ll just add to this very very helpful comment - BATHING DOES NOT MEAN STICKING IT IN THE SHOWER LIKE IN RECENT TIK TOKS. birds hate that and they stay still because they ain’t enjoying it! A normal happy bird will bathe itself!
@@AdriCr4ft my older sister bathes them in warm water once in a while in the sink by running a bit or water over them at the end and at the start letting them float in the water with their feet touching the ground, it that’s a good way to bathe them? One of my birds needed a bath when we got her bc her fur was just not soft, felt really dirty and stiff
Thank you for this video. I've been looking at getting birds since December and I'm finally waiting for my flight cage to come in the mail. Your Amazon list is INCREDIBLY helpful and it's made it super easy to find good quality food and extras that I don't have yet for the cage. I'm hoping to get my birds next month and I'm excited to start making them chop and switch them to pellets!
Thank you so so much for such a wonderful video!!! I was with my aunt and she suddenly said she wanted a parakeet and I was so scared that she was going to impulse buy!!!! You’ve saved a birbs life! (She hasn’t bought the birds yet but when she does that birb will have such a wonderful life!!!) Thank you and don’t stop doing what you’re doing!!!! 🥰♥️♥️♥️
Don't apologize for talking a lot about cages :). You’ve helped me and my birds a lot, plus you’ve said so many new things that can make them much happier.
Kermit thinks that your hair is a nest but it's ok cuz he's a good birb
Lol
Kermy is is a good birb!
🤣😂
@Hēzeru Gacha wdy mean? It clearly says birb
Birb ...birb... hahahaha bird or birb
So fantastic! I Immediately purchased your kit for small birds on your website which is so perfectly and thoughtfully put together. So happy to support such an intelligent young lady! Thank you 😊
HEY , you forgot to add live laugh birds in on the list , your're so amazing , i love your videos
I love the hoodie you wore, it's so cute.
2:14 me when I want to hide away from my worries
I think it is her merch. I see bluebell, and pearl.
Thank you so much!! Yes it’s my merch :)
when you have a notification on youtube it's like a game of luck
and if its live laugh birds then you win
then you celebrate.
Awww I love this comment
Thank you so much for all your helpful videos! I'm getting my first Green Cheek soon and I feel so ready after watching all your videos!
I love your videos. You know everything about birds. First I hated birds but after watching your videos yesterday, I am obsessed with budgies and tomorrow I am gonna get one. I really appreciate your channel and keep making videos like this.☺️
I just brought my cockatoo Rocket home today! I’m so happy he’s so sweet
Omg congrats!!! Welcome home Rocket!!!
Did you adopt also congrats
Also I named my first budgie Bluebell after you’re bird :D
Bluebell is honored!!
If i have a new bird i would name her/him ducky ^ u ^
Live Laugh Birds I’m getting a cockatiel and if it’s a girl it’s gonna be naked ducky and if it’s a boy it’s gonna be named Dusty
I have always wanted a bird. And now I am getting one, I have done so much research but this specific video helped me pick out my items! So thank you!
Im saving this for when I get my budgie! I’ve always wanted one, and its about time I get one! I’ve studied a lot, but toys are needed so Thank you so much! ❤️❤️❤️

Hi
LOLLOLOLOL
TH-cam needs to go to rehab
Haha thanks! Love you and your birds!
.
TIP: if you switch your birds diet I recommend to weight them to see if they eat enough and if they loose a few grams then try a different approach
Yes definitely!!! Thx for sharing the tip
Your videos give me so much joy and are really useful for bird owners. I’m getting a bird soon and this video really helped me.
I am buying my first bird next week I'm so excited! Thank you so much for all the tips and advice now I am confident my bird will be happy and healthy. Thanks to you I know what to do, what not to do, what to buy, what to feed them, etc... THANK YOU SO MUCH I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS! :))
The table top cage is my carrier 😂 I also pack my carrier with a whole thing of treats a toy and a perch Incase a fire 🔥 or emergency 🚨
I hope your jokeing
Thank you so much for mentioning bar spacing!!! I often hear people just saying bigger is better, without mentioning how dangerous too large or small bar spacing can be. So this was very nice to hear you mention this important detail!
Smaller is spacing is dangerous because it can lead it to toes getting broken. I think it can also lead to wings or feathers getting caught not exactly sure.
@@briananuvattanachai6646 Yes, I believe you are right about small bar spacing ruining feathers, as they can get caught and damage their feathers when the bird tries to pull free.
Brian Anuvattanachai, exception: not when it comes to budgies, some budgies are tiny.
Thanks Elle! I have been thinking about getting budgies for a couple of years and have seriously study the subject for a year. Thank you so much for relieving a lot of my anxiety.
Thank you for making these videos! They are so helpful
I was about to show my mom a few of your videos so I could give her some *knowledge*
but then I saw you posted a new video and I just said YES
YES
YAAASSS
I don’t have a parrot, but I still love watching your videos!!!
I just received my Elle's Essential Box for small birds ! It is fantastic !!! This is perfect for setting up a really GREAT cage !!!! Thank you so much !!!! It was worth every penny !!
Thanks Elle you are helping me through my adventure with birds!!!
Me: *Sees she posted*
Also me: oh yeah here we go let’s watch this!
You are such a amazing bird owner. Thank you for this every bird owner needs this channel
I am looking forward for your next videos, especially reactions to bird pages pt. 3. I enjoy these a lot , keep it up :)
thank you so much for this video! it serves as my checklist things to have as a bird owner
I've been researching for so long now, and this is exactly the video I needed!
I have a bird and I had got him for Christmas 2019 his birthday was on October 25 and this helped me a lot and he loves watching your videos he's a cockatiel :D
Your videos of your birds are amazing they really are. They are uplifting to me during cancer. So thankyou luv Binky
Omg that means so much to me!! I hope you feel better ❤️
Thank you for all of your thoughtful videos! They are so thorough with detailed information. We are getting a cockatiel and now know so much more about how to give it its best life!! Got some of your Amazon items through your page, so hope you are getting credit for that too. Thank you again!!
Your videos have been so helpful recently! I’ve been looking into getting a bird and your videos have help me so much!
I have some educational Bird videos on my channel too! Please go check it out
#AdoptDontShop
Thank you so much for educating people on birds so that awareness can be raised for our speechless feathered friends. Your Amazon list has helped me (thank u for that). I don’t have any birds yet but I really want 2 budgies and watching your videos has showed me that they are a lot of work but also very underrated. Thanks again 😍
#budgeiawarness, and there are lots of budgies in rescues so hopefully your dream Fids are out there waiting for their rescuer.
No thank you 🥰 I’m so glad I could help
tysm for adding your amazon page list! I needed help with finding really good products! Love you channel btw!
Elle thank you for sharing you’re knowledge about pet birds and how to take care of them I just got my cockatiel a bunch of stuff, like chewable natural toys, giant flight size cage that’s bigger than me, natural perches, cuttlebones, and a balanced seed and pellet diet (70% pellets at the least) he also by a window to get sunlight! This is all for a cockatiel too. most of the stuff I know about birds is from you so thank you for everything you’ve taught me I know what to get (like natural perches) and what to stay away from (like happy huts) so thank you so much for helping me give my bird the best life I can so take this as a thank you from me and dusty my baby boy! He also just turned one this Christmas! Merry Christmas and a happy new year! 🎄🎈 🐦
This was so helpful thank you!
Yes just what i needed thank you sooo much 🐥❤️
Were planning on getting 2 budgies and this really helped getting us started!
Im thinking of getting a budgie soon! I have been following all your advice elle, and now i know way more about birds. Love your videos. 💛💙💚💙💗
Yes my next parakeet will be healthy and ready to be taken care of
I just saw Marlene’s video about the impressions and yours was AWESOME! I loved it 😂 When I smell Rico I thought it was just something weird I did but it’s funny to see that most bird owners do it 😂
Thank you so much for this channel!
We found a lost budgie in our yard and had no experience with birds. Your channel has been so helpful in keeping her safe while we try to find the owner or decide what to do if no owner shows up (spoiler: we are probably going to keep her if that is the case)
Your amazing and so underrated your videos are so helpful and easy to understand thanks alot!
aww! you did an amazing job at explaining everything!!! 👏😊
Thank you! ❤️
This video is so important !!
Thank you so much!!! You’re so amazing too ❤️❤️
OOMG MY TWO FAV TH-camRS
This is really helpful for me. Thanks
POV: your parents have said no to birds multiple times but you keep watching and making hour long slideshows about why you need them
Omg a few minutes ago the worst thing happened my bird cut her foot (we don’t know how) she was bleeding bad but thank god we were able to stop it! Right now she’s sleeping but my dad went to go get steamed veggies bc she won’t drink water 💦 she won’t bend her foot and she didn’t loose enough blood to die thank goodness but I’m worried if she will start plucking bc we had to hold her you probably did not read this all, but if you did thank you for listening AND FOR ANYONE ELS GOING THROUGH THIS THE REASON SHES PROBABLY ALIVE IS BECSUE WE STAYED CALM AND I PRAYED! What do I do if she starts plucking though
Its a month later is your bird okay now ...
It’s 7 months, yur bird aight?
I'm getting a 'tiel and your channel is the main source of my research^^ Love your channel!
Thanks for the Advice!
Hello! I am really considering getting a bird! This video was SO helpful!

Tysm I’m getting a bird in 3 weeks and I’ve been watching so much of your videos!! 💕
That is a great list! I will try to get all of the stuff!
Kermit cracks me up. I'm pretty sure he thinks your hair is his cozy cabin. 😂 He definitely has hair envy. When he pops his head out, he looks like he is wearing a wig!
Honestly your videos are really inspiring!
That means a lot!
You are an amazing person because in 1 day I have learned about EVERYTHING ABOUT Birds thanks. 🤗🤗😍😍
I just watch your videos again and again, the're so good!❤
YES! I NEEDED THIS VIDEO!
I love watching your videos your the best youtuber you have literally inspired me i love you and your flock i really wished i can meet you because are truly amazing i wish you reach millions of subscribers because you really deserve it ✨✨
Omg thank you so much ❤️❤️ you’re too sweet
I’m glad I watched this, as I was planning on getting a bird, but not now. During the summer I’m gone for 4-5 days at a time & with no one to look after the bird, I’m likely not ready to get one just yet.
You are so nice and helpful! Thank you 🙏
Can you make a video of how to teach the “wings” and the “tunnel” trick? Those seemed really fun to do!
This video is very important for bird owners or really anyone 😁😁😁😁✌🔮👽
You have helped me TONS!
I’m getting a bird soon and I am buying perches from online or in stores but I’m also making my own perches from strong branches
THANK YOU, Elle! I found your channel around 3k, and you've grown so much in such little time! Thank you so much for teaching me how to properly care for my bird. Because of you, my birds can live happier and healthier lives. Keep going! ❤❤❤
Again, thank you!
(also i hope i can buy some of your merch soon!)
I’m getting a Green Cheek and I love ur vids!!!
Great, there are lots of green cheeks in rescues all over. They really are great parrots in the rescue world.
Thank you so much for all these videos they have helped me so much. Love your channel 😝
my vet that my fam takes our other pets to absolutely loves birds and knows everything there is to know about them and i love her heaps
I just got one to day she read my mind
🥰
Elle " Can anyone tell me what happened here?? " Bird " I'm just doing my stuff. "
I’m about to be an owner of a white faced cockatiel and I am so excited the only thing I have been searching is cockatiel care and this helped me super much thank you!
Fantastic video, I be buying a cage and toys for a Senegal parrot this video it’s made me aware of things to get that I didn’t think of so thank you for that.
I've had to bing through so many of these in under 3 days because I'm hopefully gonna get a lovebird at the end of the month
I’m trying to convince my parents to get me a bundgie as a therapy animal to treat my anxiety and depression, but now I’m anxious about failing and that’s fun
This is the best channel to get info for birds.
Your videos are so helpful! 💕
