We had a cat who needed to use an inhaler. They have an adapter that you can put over it that fits cats' faces. We thought it was going to be traumatic, but the cat didn't mean mind it too much. That cat loved tuna, so I had his favorite treat, some "tuna juice" (blended tuna and water) at the table with me. He figured out that if he let me do a couple of puffs with the inhaler, he got the bowl of "tuna juice". After the first time, all I had to do was show him the inhaler and he knew he was about to get some "tuna juice" and he'd jump up on my lap and sit for the treatment. He was such a fun cat.
Thank you for your video. My previous vet had my 19-year old cockatiel on a 10-minute nebulizer treatment 3 times a day. When my cockatiel's condition got more severe and I was unable to schedule an appointment, my vet referred me to an avian specialist. The new vet said that the nebulizer treatments were not necessary. My cockatiel is now 20 years old and is experiencing more respiratory issues. After seeing your video, I am going to try the nebulizer treatments again with the solution that the previous vet provided which was saline-based but also included additional medication. The vet's tech jury-rigged a clear plastic tote, similar to the one in your video, but with a t-shaped tube to connect the nebulizer to the tote. By the way, my previous vet also suggested a warm-mist humidifier which the new vet said was not necessary, so I might try that again. Thanks again for your informative video.
Our vet used a similar method to give our cat oxygen when he got a severe respiratory infection as a kitten. Instead of a plastic tub, though, he used a kennel, plastic sheeting and duct tape. Needless to say Tigger wasn’t very happy about it, especially initially, but it did help him recover and our family got almost 10 great years with him after that.
Thanks so much for this! My African Grey has the same infection. I’m currently giving her nebulizer treatments along with antibiotics from the vet. I’m praying for a successful speedy recovery. This video was definitely so helpful and gave me hope! Thanks again!
I was going to make a Rubbermaid chamber for my Macaw but I decided to try a nebulizer mask on her instead because it looked like her beak would fit right in it. She puts her beak in the mask and I hold it for her. She just stands there and breathes it in. Such a good girl.
Oh hey mama bear need ya for a sec... Can you do a video on essential oils for birds as far as what is and not safe about them, how to do it properly (if it is possibly safe), and overall your recommendations for the subject? My opinions are scattered with this and needed your expertise. Xoxo your cyber daughter
Essential oils are pretty bad for birds. They’re extremely sensitive to chemicals and EO’s can cause skin problems and even death. They can’t even have candles burning around them because their tiny lungs can’t handle it.
I think that's very hard to answer for the same reason as it pertains to humans. 1) Essential oils agent well regulated, so there's no real way of knowing what they actually contain. 2) modern medicine works better, since it has actually been scientifically tested and modern pharmaceuticals are heavily regulated and tested for years before they even reach the market. I'm sure the same thing is true to some extent for veterinary medicine.
Awww! I haven’t had to treat a sick bird. We did have to nebulize a sick snake (and give her shots), she enjoyed the treatment actually. Gosh, you are so good at helping each animal!
My princess parrot got a nasal infection that i didnt notice until it was too late. I took him to the only bird vet in town, but by then (only 2 days after seeing symptoms), he was very weak. I had more or less hand fed him the day before, just to make sure he was eating, but he died a couple days later. Its weird, coming home and not hearing him say hello, or thank you when i put seen in the dish for all the birds. Its been 4 months or so. But Im glad to see this, next time i know there will be other options, and ive started getting my other birds used to being in a box like that just to be safe down the road. Hopefully i never have to use it, but at least theyll be happy in there... hopefully...
Aww, Archie is such a good sport. Great idea to acclimate them to the nebulizer chamber ahead of time. I imagine some birds would enjoy the private sauna experience but they're all different so you never know.
Thank you for the demonstration! I currently have a 10-year-old budgie with a sinus infection. He’s been on two rounds of antibiotics but we are now going to try a nebulizer. But the nurse who gave me a demonstration today of how the nebulizer works, told me that the chamber shouldn’t be completely air tight. He said I should make a hole on the other side to let used air escape. Is that not how you did it?
I was thinking the same, that may be the bird will feel suffocated. Anyways what did you end up doing? It would be helpful to know. I am covering a container with plastic bag, but I feel my budgie is feeling suffocated or either scared, I don't know :(
Today I got the news that my bird (for 15 years and im 23) has a chronic respiratory desease that was mainly caused by their poor diet, its been making me feel so ashamed of myself for not reading and researching enough (again, I was gifted with my bird at age 8 and didn't really had the access to properly learn the cares of a exotic bird) that literally had me in tears in both my house and at the vet, even when they told me it's always a good time to learn and care for them. Im still a university student and have 3 part-time jobs, didn't let my parents to pay a single bill for this as I know its a lesson for me of what it means to have a living being fully dependable on you, I paid more than 100 USD from my savings and daily budget, but it's okay because im a 100% compromised with my pet and fully dedicated to their health and care too. I was in panic when the vet told me I had to use a nebulizer which I had no idea how to use and where to get it, thanks to your video is a problem less for me. I know I have to be calm and take it easy on myself and on my pet. I hope I can keep my girl for a long time since i'm sure she's my life partner and this is just a small bump in our life together; thank you for your video again, it really relieved me to see your calmness and how friendly you explained these stuff. Much love from Mexico, Nina and pet parrot Rita.
We had to use a nebulizer for my son when he was young. Wish there'd been a "nebulizer chamber" option for an active toddler!! I wonder if you might at some time discuss carnivore diets a bit more - I'm continually surprised by what is and isn't "good" for a given creature - like learning that cats are generally lactose intolerant and shouldn't be given milk! Or - in the case of my three "house panthers" - they can't have fish of all things...!
I don't have a bird... But I I still find your videos very informative! Hope Archie feels better!!! ❤🐦 Also, it seems like birds are essentially prone to respiratory infections? A lot of the people to whom I subscribe have parrots, and whenever they get sick, a lot of the time the problem is with their breathing, sinus, etc.. Any comments? Just a curious bird lover with no bird to love. Keep up your amazing work!
Thanks for the Video. This saved my birds life. I have a sun conure that is the best most loveable pet and he has chronic respiratory disease and I have Asthma so I am extra pro active with any breathing issues if any type. A few nights ago our conure started to wheeze and went into resp respiratory distress, he gets this every few weeks but this time was the so much worse, I thought he was going to die it was not a slight wheezing it was full blown asthma attack so scarry... After watching your video at like 2:30 in the morning I called the closest bird animal hospital and told them my sun conure is in very bad shape and I don't think he will survive the over hour drive to the hospital. I told them I have asthma and a Nebulizer with albuterol solution and they said it was safe to give it to him in a crisis situation and I did.. he survived the night barely but definitely perked up enough for me to take him to our local avian vet and he is now on nebulizer treatments with antibiotics in the nebulizer solution and your Video is how I set up his nebulizer room and gave me the idea to ask the vet if it was safe. He is now doing MUCH BETTER and his loveable silly LOUD self.. thanks for the video...
Great video. Saw the title and was wondering how on earth you'd pull it off, turns out the answer was simple. Still glad I've never faced this challenge with my flock (have given oral meds only).
Hope to never have to use this but it's comforting to know HOW if one day I'd ever have to! Thank you for this video and for all the videos, I just love animals haha
Hi jessi your a huge role model for me you helped me get an idea on what I wish to do with my life I really look up to you and have learned so much I just have two quick questions. I’m in eighth grade and am signing up for high school classes next week I was wondering if there is anything I should do to help me get a zoology scholarship like sign up for honors science. I was also wondering if you did anything in high school that helped you with were you are today? Last question, I am really wanting my first parrot I have been looking a lot into green cheek conures I would be able to spend 8 hours with the parrot Dailey and longer on weekends I’ve herd there relatively quiet and really adaptable but I do have 3 little sisters and they are all very curious one of my siblings is a toddler that loves to scream. The parrot and my sister would not be in the same room or near each other very often. I have been doing research for about a year and feel it would make a good fit but just wanted a second opinion.
I am going to buy a cockatiel for my first bird so I would love to see a video of you taming Steve and working on your bond together because I know he doesn't like being groomed. Also I would love to see more of the beaver because I am curious to see their social behaviours because I only ever see them swimming by them selves
this is interesting! My 2.5 yo brother has to get medication through a nebulizer, because he's too little for an inhaler to be effective, and it's a higher volume of medication than an inhaler would give either. Luckily there's face masks for creatures his size and shape, and so he just gets to watch some TV and sit on mom's lap for 20 minutes while he gets his breathing treatment. I had no idea they used nebulizers for non human animals, but it makes sense! and the mini motel of medication mist is a marvelous idea (although I think my brother would still prefer the mask, lol)
I have a question - will the bird not feel suffocated inside? Especially budgies? I didn't have a chamber like yours, but I saw in another video that we could put a plastic bag on top of the container as well. Is that okay and safe? Any suggestions and advice will be grateful ❤ Merry Christmas all... ❤
Great video! I have seen people use similar nebulizer chambers for snakes with RI. For the vapor, they would use a humidifier with diluted F-10 solution. This strikes me as kind of weird. Like it would be the same as spraying yourself in the face with Lysol for a cold. It seems to work though. Have you ever heard of this?
Very interesting video :) I've never seen or heard about anything like a nebulizer/nebulizing an animal before. Then again, I've never had a bird in my family.
Lol, I use a Nubulizer for my lung disease 🤣😂 So this was immediately interesting for me 🤣 And I want a bird soooo badly!! But bc of my lungs among ofther reasons, this won't probably happen😫 So thanks for sharing all these amazing animsls with us, so I can see them through a screen at least 😁😀
This was so cool to see because my brother has asthma that flares up when he gets the flu and his medicine is just like that! He has to have a mask or tube near his mouth and breathe it for about 20 minutes. The nebulizer machine he has is kind of loud and vibrates, is the one for the birds the same, and if it is, was that a problem when you were trying to keep them calm around it?
So informative and super helpful! Would it be possible if you could tell us how you knew he was sick? Any signs or symptoms? And also how do you administer medicine to your birds with a dropper into their mouth? ( i.e. properly holding them and ensuring they get the right amount especially when they’re squirming around?) thanks for all your help! 💕
Archie got a boogery nostril and was sneezing, so it wasn't subtle. I give oral medication by hiding it in their regular food or a special treat. Archie loves peanut butter, so I put a little dollop in a tiny dish and mixed in the liquid medicine. Then I wipe the peanut butter mixture on his enclosure bars or a toy and he loves to lick it off. You just need to find a treat that your bird likes that you can hide medicine in.
I knew that my young one, Babyrat was sick when I brought him home. I took him to the vet, and they set him in a nebulizer in the office for a bit. When he was all done, the humidity had made him very wet 😂 he looked so freaking cute.
It defintely doesn't hurt, but chances are they will never need it. I'd highly recommend getting them comfortable with a crate though, because it's much more likely they'll need to travel somewhere in their lifetime and it's so much better if they're not stressed about it :)
What’s the medicine you use for the respiratory tract disease? My Budgie has the tail bobbing and it seems she is having difficulty while breathing. She is definitely feeling better after the nebulisation with plain water.
I had a pet rat who had a bad infection and we nebulized her in a similar way. We used a carrier that they were use to being transported in and a dry cleaner bag, it was also helpful because they could have a friend in there with them to make it less scary.
What is the best medicine for nebulizer? My veterinarian recommended HIPRALONA ENRO-S Enrofloxacin. Is this a good medicine? Is it not harmful to the budgies?
Hi, I’ve had my Jenday conure for over 2 years now. She came from a very harsh life and was neglected as a little baby I had to feed her with a syringe. My question is, why does she have so many pin feathers? I know birds shed and the pin feathers are normal, but she has always had them since I’ve had her. When she lets me I can help her preen them. She takes baths about 3/4 times a week and eats Harrison’s bird food, which I was told is good. Any help?
Could you use this same setup as an oxygen chamber to deliver oxygen to a bird via an oxygen concentrator? I have a green cheek conure who needs to be on oxygen as soon as possible. This is why I'm asking.
Can we use this method for treating respiratory disease in parrots? Like the dosage which is prescribed, rather than forcing it in the mouth of the parrot can we use this method?
Dont get a bird until you can pay for it. Dont depend on your parrots. I got my first bird at 16, when I had a job. I paid for everything for him. Then, at 17 I got him a mate, they are now a bonded pair. At 18, I moved out with my boyfriend and added a pair of parakeets to my flock. You really shouldnt depend on your parents to house and pay for your bird.
Carlie Mossa thank you I’ve done my research! And did it on all kinds of small common house birds but mostly on love birds and budgies! Those are the ones I want the most especially a love bird. I have my own allowance witch I work for and I’m home schooled so I can’t really get a test with an A on it, but I am very dedicated to pets any animal I will spend hours with just playing I think I’m good! Thank you again!
hello, I'm Doni from Indonesia. I'm very interested in this method of treatment. But seeing the price of a set of nebulizers is very expensive. Your box really inspires me heheh😂.Btw, do you have a reference for me,what liquid medicine is good for baby birds who often experience shortness of breath? Thanks alot..🥰 best regard from Indonesi..
excuse me jess. I'm thinking about getting a cockatiel for my birthday in 6 weeks. Now i have done all the essential resource from the internet and your channel but was wondering about cage sizes. They say 24 inches long by 18 inches wide by 24 inches tall but i'm not sure of whether it needs to be bigger and was wondering if you could make a video about the size of some of your birds cages so i have an idea of how big i want it to be. it would mean a lot if you could help me with this since i've never own a bird before and i'm really trying hard to learn every detail i can get with your help. Please post about this topic in near future for me even in a ask jess would be good and keep the animals safe for me, especially steve and ginger, my favourites
red dragon1147 well it always depends on the bird. Yes 24x18 is an appropriate size. If the bird is out playing with you all day and is only in the cage for sleep then don’t worry, you can probably get away with smaller. The bigger the cage the better, but try to get the largest cage you can afford.
I am nebulising my bird 3 x pd, fungal infection in lungs, not sure for how many days I should continue, will find out at Vets on Wednesday, today was 4th day nebulising. is it ok to do over a long period, I just want to be sure that infection clears
Hi Jesse, I have a question hopefully you see this. I have 2 parakeets bell and pepper, they are a bonded pair but sometimes my male parakeet (pepper) ... I’m not sure how to say it correctly lol but it mates with his favorite toy. My question is, is this normal? Should I remove the toy or is it ok to just leave it? I love your channel btw!!!!
I have a hard time giving my budgie an oral medicine cause he isnt tame. He has a respiratory infection. Can I give him his medicine via the nebulizer?
I know it seems basic, but can you do a “how to” video for cats like you’ve done for the guinea pigs and other animals? My fiancé and I are probably getting a cat soon, his parents have a young cat we are hoping to take after we get married in March and have more time for her, and I’m so excited! I already changed her name to Minerva McGonagall 😂 But I’ve never had a cat before.... only dogs. I’ve worked with animals for awhile and get the things like diet and handling, either have them as inside cats or put a loud bell on them so they don’t eat things outside, health stuff... but like if a cat lives outside how do I teach them where home is? Will a cat that’s been a mostly outside/sometimes inside cat (the one I’m planning on getting) be ok as an inside only cat in an apartment? Can I take her on walks to supplement her outside time so she doesn’t hurt the environment living outside? How do you litter box train a cat? How do I know if she’s unhappy with her life? Where do I put a litterbox? Are the expensive ones worth it? With all my animal experience, I’m shocked at how little I feel I know about the details of having a cat 😅 I’ll do research, but I would love a cat video!
Hi Ms. jessi, I am iqbal from Indonesia, my bird is suffering from a respiratory infection, and I really want to use a method like that done. what medicine is appropriate for curing my bird, my bird is a cockatiel type. thank you I really hope you answer my question 😁
Since I have asthma when I was sick I need to use the nebulizer to help me breathe because of the constant noise I’d end up falling asleep. I was wondering if the noise from the nebulizer ever bothered the birds? I know it can be annoying when I’m on the phone with I have a soft voice.
The motor is pretty loud. That's usually one of the scarier parts of the whole process for birds. To reduce the noise I put the motor on a thick folded towel on the floor as far from the bird as possible. After a few minutes the noise drowns everything else out and just becomes background noise. Unless of course you're trying to have a conversation :)

Jesse, you are so wonderful with animals. They all love you and can tell you love them too.
It's good to hear that YOU are doing better and have recovered from your sickness as well.
Hi Jessi!You helped so much when I was getting my tiel!Your my favorite TH-camd ever
Glad to see Archie is doing better now
My kids don't like the nebuliser much either. Im gonna get a bag of gummy bears and a huge kid-sized box ..........
I love seeing how well all of the animals are cared for!
Another beautiful video, Jessi! I will send this to my other bird loving friends and, when I am an avian vet, to my clients!
I wish you had a million views on every video.

I use a nebulizer with ionic silver and a drop of oregano oil to treat any respiratory infection, it's wonderful.

I had to make a chamber like this for my ball python. I gerry-rigged my sister's neb from when she had asthma

So sweet to read this, I resonate with you. I will study more about healthy diet for budgies to keep their health at the best..

Especially budgies? I didn't have a chamber like yours, but I saw in another video that we could put a plastic bag on top of the container as well. Is that okay and safe?
Any suggestions and advice will be grateful ❤
Merry Christmas all... ❤
Great video! I have seen people use similar nebulizer chambers for snakes with RI. For the vapor, they would use a humidifier with diluted F-10 solution. This strikes me as kind of weird. Like it would be the same as spraying yourself in the face with Lysol for a cold. It seems to work though. Have you ever heard of this?
Very interesting video :) I've never seen or heard about anything like a nebulizer/nebulizing an animal before. Then again, I've never had a bird in my family.
That is so amazing wow your not just good with animals but very good making things
Lol, I use a Nubulizer for my lung disease 🤣😂 So this was immediately interesting for me 🤣 And I want a bird soooo badly!! But bc of my lungs among ofther reasons, this won't probably happen😫 So thanks for sharing all these amazing animsls with us, so I can see them through a screen at least 😁😀
I love your videos! This is great info as I have a yellow naped amazon. Hopefully I will never have to do this but I'm prepared now! Thank you!
Thank you so much for the info. Hope I never need to use it, but good to know what to expect🤗
This was so cool to see because my brother has asthma that flares up when he gets the flu and his medicine is just like that! He has to have a mask or tube near his mouth and breathe it for about 20 minutes. The nebulizer machine he has is kind of loud and vibrates, is the one for the birds the same, and if it is, was that a problem when you were trying to keep them calm around it?
Interesting
Glad Archie is better! ❤
So informative and super helpful! Would it be possible if you could tell us how you knew he was sick? Any signs or symptoms? And also how do you administer medicine to your birds with a dropper into their mouth? ( i.e. properly holding them and ensuring they get the right amount especially when they’re squirming around?) thanks for all your help! 💕
Archie got a boogery nostril and was sneezing, so it wasn't subtle. I give oral medication by hiding it in their regular food or a special treat. Archie loves peanut butter, so I put a little dollop in a tiny dish and mixed in the liquid medicine. Then I wipe the peanut butter mixture on his enclosure bars or a toy and he loves to lick it off. You just need to find a treat that your bird likes that you can hide medicine in.
Thank you so much!! Will definitely try this method out! 😊😊
What were the saline treatments for? Just hydration?
I knew that my young one, Babyrat was sick when I brought him home. I took him to the vet, and they set him in a nebulizer in the office for a bit. When he was all done, the humidity had made him very wet 😂 he looked so freaking cute.
Can you do a update on all the animals.
Hi Jessi that is amazing I didn't know birds hide illness and I have a nebulizer for you myself thanks so much Jessi
now this is my kind of bird box
Would you recommend getting your bird acquainted with the nebulizer chamber from early age just in case?
It defintely doesn't hurt, but chances are they will never need it. I'd highly recommend getting them comfortable with a crate though, because it's much more likely they'll need to travel somewhere in their lifetime and it's so much better if they're not stressed about it :)
What’s the medicine you use for the respiratory tract disease? My Budgie has the tail bobbing and it seems she is having difficulty while breathing. She is definitely feeling better after the nebulisation with plain water.
ayyyy archie is standing on your haannnddd i dont know why i am so happy about that lol
I like your bird.
This episode was my childhood growing up. I never figured I'd relate to a parrot.
I TOOK MEDICATION ON A NEBULIZER WHEN I WAS LITTLE (for asthma) AND IT LOOKS ALMOST EXACTLY LIKE THE BIRD ONE OMG!!!!!
I had a pet rat who had a bad infection and we nebulized her in a similar way. We used a carrier that they were use to being transported in and a dry cleaner bag, it was also helpful because they could have a friend in there with them to make it less scary.
I hope you guys are holding up well through this cold.
What is the best medicine for nebulizer? My veterinarian recommended HIPRALONA ENRO-S Enrofloxacin. Is this a good medicine? Is it not harmful to the budgies?
1:21 rip Archie 😂
Jesse could you please talk about the caique parrot and its needs an its behavior please
Love ur channel
Love your videos
You have so many amazing birds! Which one seems to be your favorite?
Hi, I’ve had my Jenday conure for over 2 years now. She came from a very harsh life and was neglected as a little baby I had to feed her with a syringe. My question is, why does she have so many pin feathers? I know birds shed and the pin feathers are normal, but she has always had them since I’ve had her. When she lets me I can help her preen them. She takes baths about 3/4 times a week and eats Harrison’s bird food, which I was told is good. Any help?
What did you clean the tub out with?
What nebulizer would you suggest?
can you please recommend which nebulizer to buy
Hi , where did you get your nebulizer from, as my bird needs one , just got back from the vets
Could you use this same setup as an oxygen chamber to deliver oxygen to a bird via an oxygen concentrator? I have a green cheek conure who needs to be on oxygen as soon as possible. This is why I'm asking.
Hey Jesse I watched ur videos at my school and I told everyone I knew u if was so weird it was an esemble and ur video was on
Love your videos 😚❤🐦😚
Oh man. The sound of the nebulizer gives me some anxiety. I have severe asthma, but I haven't had to hear that sound in years.
Can we use this method for treating respiratory disease in parrots? Like the dosage which is prescribed, rather than forcing it in the mouth of the parrot can we use this method?
R.I.P Archie
Yess! A new video! Do you have any tips on how to convince my parent to get me a bird?
Dont get a bird until you can pay for it. Dont depend on your parrots. I got my first bird at 16, when I had a job. I paid for everything for him. Then, at 17 I got him a mate, they are now a bonded pair. At 18, I moved out with my boyfriend and added a pair of parakeets to my flock. You really shouldnt depend on your parents to house and pay for your bird.
Birds are so much work, and require the next 20 years of your life. What will you do if you have a child who's allergic to birds??
Cora Blah I’ve researched the bird I want and they live up to 15 years by the time it dies I’m still probably not gonna have kids!
Carlie Mossa thank you I’ve done my research! And did it on all kinds of small common house birds but mostly on love birds and budgies! Those are the ones I want the most especially a love bird. I have my own allowance witch I work for and I’m home schooled so I can’t really get a test with an A on it, but I am very dedicated to pets any animal I will spend hours with just playing I think I’m good! Thank you again!
Cora Blah yes I depend on my parents for most child things like, food, water, shelter, cloths and I do get an allowance. Thank you for the help!
May I pls know the name of the medicine
My budgie had go on this because he has goe on his cere which is covering his nostrils I can wipe it away of it returns sometimes
Which medicine he used for nebulizer?
Is there a natural cure for prevention and treatment for airsacaltis ?
Can you please do more videos on birds?
Yesss!! More videos
hello, I'm Doni from Indonesia. I'm very interested in this method of treatment. But seeing the price of a set of nebulizers is very expensive. Your box really inspires me heheh😂.Btw, do you have a reference for me,what liquid medicine is good for baby birds who often experience shortness of breath?
Thanks alot..🥰 best regard from Indonesi..
Great info! :-)
Hi I have one question can I bring a parrot from another country into the us? plz answer
excuse me jess. I'm thinking about getting a cockatiel for my birthday in 6 weeks. Now i have done all the essential resource from the internet and your channel but was wondering about cage sizes. They say 24 inches long by 18 inches wide by 24 inches tall but i'm not sure of whether it needs to be bigger and was wondering if you could make a video about the size of some of your birds cages so i have an idea of how big i want it to be. it would mean a lot if you could help me with this since i've never own a bird before and i'm really trying hard to learn every detail i can get with your help. Please post about this topic in near future for me even in a ask jess would be good and keep the animals safe for me, especially steve and ginger, my favourites
red dragon1147 well it always depends on the bird. Yes 24x18 is an appropriate size. If the bird is out playing with you all day and is only in the cage for sleep then don’t worry, you can probably get away with smaller. The bigger the cage the better, but try to get the largest cage you can afford.
I am nebulising my bird 3 x pd, fungal infection in lungs, not sure for how many days I should continue, will find out at Vets on Wednesday, today was 4th day nebulising.
is it ok to do over a long period, I just want to be sure that infection clears
Hi Jesse, I have a question hopefully you see this. I have 2 parakeets bell and pepper, they are a bonded pair but sometimes my male parakeet (pepper) ... I’m not sure how to say it correctly lol but it mates with his favorite toy. My question is, is this normal? Should I remove the toy or is it ok to just leave it? I love your channel btw!!!!
Gerardo Diaz probably remove it.
Hello I love your animals
I have a hard time giving my budgie an oral medicine cause he isnt tame. He has a respiratory infection. Can I give him his medicine via the nebulizer?
Hi, I am currently nebulizing my duck. She poops in the box and the stench is overwhelming. Will her poop affect the treatment?
I know it seems basic, but can you do a “how to” video for cats like you’ve done for the guinea pigs and other animals? My fiancé and I are probably getting a cat soon, his parents have a young cat we are hoping to take after we get married in March and have more time for her, and I’m so excited! I already changed her name to Minerva McGonagall 😂 But I’ve never had a cat before.... only dogs. I’ve worked with animals for awhile and get the things like diet and handling, either have them as inside cats or put a loud bell on them so they don’t eat things outside, health stuff... but like if a cat lives outside how do I teach them where home is? Will a cat that’s been a mostly outside/sometimes inside cat (the one I’m planning on getting) be ok as an inside only cat in an apartment? Can I take her on walks to supplement her outside time so she doesn’t hurt the environment living outside? How do you litter box train a cat? How do I know if she’s unhappy with her life? Where do I put a litterbox? Are the expensive ones worth it? With all my animal experience, I’m shocked at how little I feel I know about the details of having a cat 😅 I’ll do research, but I would love a cat video!
Hi Ms. jessi, I am iqbal from Indonesia, my bird is suffering from a respiratory infection, and I really want to use a method like that done. what medicine is appropriate for curing my bird, my bird is a cockatiel type. thank you
I really hope you answer my question 😁
Since I have asthma when I was sick I need to use the nebulizer to help me breathe because of the constant noise I’d end up falling asleep. I was wondering if the noise from the nebulizer ever bothered the birds? I know it can be annoying when I’m on the phone with I have a soft voice.
The motor is pretty loud. That's usually one of the scarier parts of the whole process for birds. To reduce the noise I put the motor on a thick folded towel on the floor as far from the bird as possible. After a few minutes the noise drowns everything else out and just becomes background noise. Unless of course you're trying to have a conversation :)
My birds are on nebuliser now and my avian vet said never close the lid over completely, always leave a small opening
Why is the guy that was in your intro not there.
I got my first rescue :)
BIRBS!!!!!!!
