Elle knows everything about birds she is a soul of a bird.
Bird whirperer Queen is back!!!!
no she doesn't
@@derind9191 yes, she does. If you don't like Elle why are you here?
@Budgie Banger exactly
Banter*
"ur basically inviting a fly toddler into your house" II CANTTTT, LOOOLLL
That's how they are. She used a amazing analogy for them!
Well you are
Elle: you need to end as much time with your bird as possible
Quarantine: I got you covered
It’s true but, when quarantine is over what will happen to the bird? 🤷🏻♀️
@@veronicaidrovo8333 he'll need a mate, a large cage/an aviary and lots of toys
@@alychee8639 if you are going to put 2 birds together try to put them together at a young age so they are used to living with each other
@@ThatAnimalHouse It usually is easy to introduce them, but yea you should be careful..
The problem is that most people don't know/don't realise/don't care that you should keep them in pairs, especially if you have to go to school or work. Like I get it if it has your company most of the day. But that's not the case a lot of the time!
Not hating on anyone here though', I just care about the birds!
@@alychee8639 yeah if i would ever get a bird i would definitely keep them in pairs so they can be happy when i’m not around and i would introduce them young bc it depends on the birds some can be more timid then another it’s just their personality and same no hate i’m just saying this for the benefit of the birds 😌
Elle: “Your basically inviting a flying toddler into ur house”
Me: “sooo truueee”
In that case I have 2 flying toddlers
@@2JAYCOOP124 lol same
@@2JAYCOOP124 yep me too 😉
*Narcissistic toddler if you Will....
I have two flying toddlers
I think Elle knows more about birds than they do of themselves
so true
So accurate LMAO
True XD
Lol true
#FACTS
Love your statement " lots of other animals that don't fly " So true.
Imagine a cow flying while riding a bike
7:42 is such an important point. My parents got me my budgie when I was 10, didn't require me to do any research, and she ended up on a seed diet and alone in her cage for nearly 4 years before I actually decided to do research on my own. I gave up on my baby before I even knew what I was doing wrong, so it's so important that kids are able to understand the commitment and patience it takes to own a bird of any size!
Am I the only one who has had to explain to their teacher why there is bite marks on my homework? Because it was quite awkward when I handing her my homework and she asked why there we are tiny bite marks in it and I just said "my bird."
I'm her new favorite student
Oh gosh- XD
Saaaaaaame
So true! Same, bit with online schooling I have to explain that to my mom!
Ikr
Lol😂🤣
Elle knows EVERYTHING shes so smart and knows so MUCH about birds-
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
That's so true!
That trueeee
Very true👍
I am totally not in the middle of my homework.......
Its ok, because you are so helpful! :D
i see a lot of your comments im gonna sub to you
@@soap9781 Thank you! :D (You should also sub to Elle, if you haven't already)
@@SoaringSunshine im subbed :)
Yup same here...heh
Hello! My daughter Priscilla loves your channel and insisted we comment. We have two parakeets. Our first bird landed on our deck one day after no one in the neighborhood claimed him he became ours and we named him Frank. We recently got him a friend and named him Bean. Your videos are very helpful and have taught us that we were doing everything wrong in regards to training 😂. We are working on training the proper way now.
me who has a birb: ah yes should I get a birb
Same 😂😂😂
I love this channel because it speaks for those who don't have a voice. We love you Elle, keep doing what your doing! You saved my 3 budgies from having a awful home by showing me how to take care of them properly. Love Eve, Ducky, Willow, and River 😃
Me: I should pay attention in school
Elle posts a video
Me: history class isn’t that important right
Lol
Honestly same
Not being mean but she is a pro
In your profile picture is that a real spider in your hand
@@killua4543 yeah
My cousin asked me “So what’s it like to have a bird?”
Me: *Imagine living with a Bipolar narcissist Toddler who never grows up for 20 years with bolt cutters attached to its face. Oh yea.....and they can Fly*
When I get home my little Dino throws his food everywhere. He is LOUD and very noisy! He is a tiny lovebird and can probably send sound waves strong enough to tear through the house. Poops....EVERYWHERE!!! can you tolerate getting bitten by a moody child? It happens every day. If you leave them alone for a second they start screaming flying around the house trying to find Mommy or Daddy. They get into everything. Shutting the bathroom doors are no longer acceptable. They get VERY jealous. When my boyfriend came over at first Petry would bite him because he was very Possessive over me and thought he wasn’t getting enough attention. They will manage to get anywhere and everywhere they can. His “friendly” and “murder” switch can flip any second. He can want scritches one second and the next stare at your hand like it’s his next Meal. Very Angry Dino sometimes 😂😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️❤️
But....I love him to death no matter what. Best thing that I ever did was decide to get a bird.
Awwww 🥺
You literally described my lil cutie kiwi lol
@@itzamemarioo and my baby Parody 😆
My pet mouse used to poop everywhere when I held him. I get you.
Andddd- THE BIRD QUEEN HAS UPLOADED **bows down**
Lots of great tips here! Birds change your whole lifestyle - every day revolves around them for us and that's the way I like it! 😀💙🦜
no one:
Elle a literally bird soul human
This turned into a beautifully relatable rant: They get poop everywhere, they throw their food everywhere, they moult and their feathers get everywhere! Love you Elle! ❤
me watching this and not getting a bird but liking birds
and im pretty early
Thank you so much for this video. I was thinking of getting a cockatiel and this made me think and question for a moment
So good that you're mentioning just how much is involved in caring for a bird. Many people seem to think they are "easy pets" which they definitely are not!
But if you're willing to put in the time/effort they are amazing!
Cockatiels are so calm and cuddly and they are just so adorable
before i got my birds i always watched your channel and wrote everything down... Then when i got my first two birds i knew everything i needed to know. and their living the best life in their huge cage! Thx for teaching me so much!
Im the same only I might get a green cheek conure for Christmas this year!
@@urma8720 awesome! i just got a budgie! I'm thinking about getting a cockatiel soon!
@@mooon-bean aw thats amazing!
Elle: Birds are messy, they scream, and throw food everywhere
My bird: Yes, that's me, I do that!
My bird likes 2 take baths alot and her water goes everywhere!
@@narniafan168 aw, that's cute! I love when my bird takes baths, it's adorable.
Omg subscribing to this girl was the best thing EVER. she is so good at giving advice. Lots of love from me and my chickens
Elle became my teacher without me noticing, i am getting 2 male cockatiels this weekend, and this is the best chanel to learn about parrots and birds 😁 💕
Hi Elle! I am probably one of your BIGGEST FANS and I just wanted to say that thank you so much 2 the universe and back for making thus channel! I've got to know so much more about birds!! 🌈💜 and also. DUCKY IS SO CUTE I CANT LIKE-
Edit: I just realised how long this is 😳Sorry for wasting your time 😊
OMG OMG OMG ELLE LIKED MY COMMENT!!! EEEEEEEEEEE
you aren't wasting anyone's time everyone CHOSE to read this :)
Dear Elle, you are a amazing person and you always make my day me and my birds love to watch your videos each time they here your voice they start to chirp and each time you sing that little song to kirmit the green cheek I think I spelled it wrong lol they start to sing I love your videos so much hope you and your birds live a long happy life :) ❤🐦
Her kermie bird song inspired a bird song for my budgie Dobby!
Elle: don’t let your dog and bird interact
My budgie: this looks like a good perch I’m gonna sit on and preen this small dog
ahhh please don't let your bird and dog interact, it only takes a few seconds for an accident to happen!! and dogs lick their fur and their saliva is toxic to birds so if your bird is preening the dog and ingests the saliva then it could die...
@@alanahjade27 thanks I didn’t know that
Don't let ur bird with your dog because it takes a split second 4 the dog 2 kill it.
I want to say THANK YOU! We got a budgie for me, we didn't realize it would help my son build skills to manage his ADHD! We did a lot of education before we brought our feathered family member home. I watch several wonderful you tube channels about birds, however my son will only focus and enjoy you! He is 12 years old and your energy and fun keeps him engaged! I feel as if you have been personally working with him... my husband and I appreciate your good work so much! You have a beautiful glowing spirit!
To any parents who see this and think, "let's get them a bird to help"... YOU have to take the lead on all care and training and manage the child. Touch/ target training started and all of a sudden he thought the bird could skip baby steps and start doing tricks. It is still a dedication for you... and it has helped us work together in harmony... but it has been rewarding work!
My parents were very reasonable. We had a family German Shepherd, and in order for us to get a pet (for me a bird) we had to feed and walk the dog every day, brush it twice a week, play with it, and manage grooming sessions for it for a whole year.
I’m getting a cockatiel in about three months and I ordered your avian essentials kit!💕 btw your videos have helped me so much thank you!!
Nice! I have a cockatiel named Pebbles
Elle: Birds are literally the only pet that can fly
Me who has a pet fly I named Robert: *sad fly person noises*
😂 flies enter my room all the time 😂
I HAD PET FLIES TOO
Oh.
I have pet mosquito want to meet some
There food is my blood 😝
@@Venus_nd_Me Careful... if it's a female you don't wanna get sick.
I love the cockatoo screaming 🤣🤣
im getting a bird very soon and all ive been watching is elle teaching about birds 😸pray for me
I thought the title say: 'Should I get a new bird?!'
Me: OMGOMGOMGOMG
Me reading it again: OHHHH! Still good video :>
I can’t believe how far you’ve gotten! :D Already sponsored and helping the bird lover community! Thanks for your videos! :)
I've been watching your videos and I just got my cockatiel Asher and he liked me the day I got him, he loves my hair lol. He's around 3 months old. I got my mom to get him a big cage, natural wood perches, and toys. When I got him his wings were clipped but I'm letting them grow out and I've started training him (I'm following your training videos to train him). I'm still trying to get him used to getting on my hands, but he loves head scratches and he loves me. Thanks for all your help I love your channel! ❤️😁
Ella knows evreything about birds so talented
This video has made me learn so much more about budgies. Thank you so much.
Lol Kermit's cage is in the background and I saw his cuttlebone and suddenly thought why was Jersey in your bird room XD Your birds are soooo cute and smart! I'm researching for my own Ducky right now!
A bird is the best for all the bird lovers! ❤️😊✨
Elle is very smart and she is a bird expert, she know everything about birds.Her voice is so relaxing.
By the way my favourite is Kermit.
“Do not let your other pets interact with the bird.” Me who has fish: 👁 👄 👁. Elle you are awesome with birds and amazing in general. You have taught me SOOOO much about birds and I’m currently working on a slideshow to convince my parents to let me have a mustache parakeet!!! My mom is like...not for it at all. My dad is kinda iffy about it but I have hope. You encourage and inspire me so much!!! Thank you 😊
Btw Kermit you are my fav out of the five of you. Sorry Ducky. 😐 I love the budgies equally but I think Pearl slightly tops Bluebell and Violet. She does more tricks for camera. Only reason. Lol my comments are so long sorry
@@alisonmartin7877 Update?!
Best bird TH-camr right here
Elle if you see this I had two birds but one died 2 weeks ago. It was the saddest day of my life. I used all your tips and he had the best life until the day he got sick. Then 2 weeks after that he died. 1 week after he died I got a new budgie. I have one green and one blue now. But I had a green and yellow one. I got the new budgie. It is blue and in the matter of 1 day it was climbing on shoulder stepping up. And of course it made my green budgie eat out of my hands. The blue one is called Skye, the green one is called lucky, and my passed yellow one was called coco.
We all Got the Notification Right Lol. I love your videos! I’ve watched like every single video. I own about 40 or more pets. 2 of them are lovebirds and I’m planning to get a new conure!
Thanks so much for the video, Elle! I recently adopted an adorable white budgie named Izzie. She is one month old and is very happy! I bought her the biggest cage I could find (60 by 54 inch cage) and lots of natural wood perches, shredding toys, etc. Her diet is pellets and vegetables. I give her fruit, but not that often. She really only likes strawberries and raspberries. I've followed your tutorials, and now she loves me! She loves to hang out on my shoulder. She also loves to say "Cute birdy!" I think she picked that up from me. :) I spend as much possible time with her each day, usually around 4 hours. She also loves taking baths and when I'm cleaning her cage, she can be naughty! She will fly into the cage and perch on the perches that I am trying to take out. What a rascal! I haven't taken her to get a vet check up yet, because I haven't had her for very long, but I am scheduling an appointment for September. (She isn't sick, but I am taking her just for her regular check up to make sure she's ok.) I love her with all my heart, thanks to your tips! Love your channel, Elle!
When elle said "If you want a bird who cant fly then its better off getting an animal that cant fly" I knew she was SERIOUS lol but she acted like it was cool...
Oh and I was not trying to be rude I was just trying to make a joke out of it....
Well a joke
Imagine getting a heart from elle and the birds btw elle is my favorite youtuber and elle my birds never eat vegetables idk why?
No imagination required
@@ElleAndTheBirds thanks
@@ElleAndTheBirds Elle!! I missed you and your birds! ♥️♥️
@@ElleAndTheBirds Omg elle I just got a new bird it is a cocoteel bird it is 17 days old it is so cute I searched how to take care of these small birds btw it only eats cereal
Also make sure that you can handle the pitch of the bird that you are thinking about getting. I can't handle budgie's chatter for long amounts of time, but a conure can scream all day and I won't bat an eye.
I have an albino budgie. She is so sweet, and so happy that I can spend heaps of time with her.
Elle be like : they are demanding animals
My parents be like ：your demanding too!
🤣🤣🤣
elle should make a bird olympics video with all of the squad like so she can see
I’m so happy because I got my budgie just over a month ago, and he had previously not really wanted to interact with me. But after learning target training and flighting to my hand, he had started to fly to me, onto my head and desk! Thank you Elle because I learnt everything about taking from you! 😘
So proud to see you get sponsored! Keep it up with the good videos elle😘
Thank you so much!!!❤️
Can any type of birds eat apples?
@@Ashpot28 Ok
I really want a bird but I think ill wait till I move out of my parents house
Yeah same because then I will be able to control everything that I buy
I’m really glad your still making videos, watching your videos has motivated me to make my pet bird happy in its cadge even when I’m not home!
just got the notification!!! also congrats on 150,000 subscribers!
me: already has a birb
also me: still watching this vid
I’m convinced that Elle is a bird
I am
OMG!!! This is soo perfect for me, I'm getting a bird in 4 weeks or so, so I needed this kind of video, as always I loved it! Thank you thank you thank you!!!
So happy to see such an emphasis on flight in this video and many of yours. Keep up the good work, Elle.
Just got my cockatiel and i let him out of his cage and he won’t leave my shoulder he is a male and his name is ducky!!!!!!
Can u put a video about free flying
Hey Elle! Love your channel. I have two birds, a rainbow lorikeet and a grey-faced cockatiel. Your channel has been a huge help to me! You're doing amazing! ❤❤❤
Thanks for taking care of the budgies and letting us know how to keep them healthy, happy, etc, you're a bird life saver. You also helped me take care of my budgies as much well as you! I don't know why your channel isn't the most subscribed budgie channel but I wish it was, you're a pro at taking care of budgies! May God bless you.
Fun fact: fun facts are not usually fun
If you want a pet that doesn't fly, don't get a bird. Thank you for making that point.
YAYY YOU POSTED A GAIN I JUST GET SO HAPPY AND EXITED WHEN YOU POST
I’ve been watching your videos for a couple weeks now and you have helped me make my decision. I have found a cockatiel breeder in my area and I should me getting a hand raised cockatiels in hopefully seven weeks. I have already made up her/his cage ready and I’ll use all of your helpful tips and you have now earned a new subscriber:)

This is so helpful. Thank you for being you 💕🦜
hi elle! I have recently started watching your content as my budgie Sunny died, and i felt i should research more before getting a new one. I find your content funny, relatable and educational. Thank you! x
"If you have ever had a bird..." Me who have like 20 chickens, 2 ducks, 2 geese, a budgie and a turkey O-O
dang you've got a whole sanctuary of birds lol
Dang that's alot of birds 0-0
Just gonna say, If you can’t handle loud chirping nonstop all day and for me, all night.
Screaming, cleaning cages every week, making chop, patience for taming etc, time to have them out for hours at a time, tons of trial and error, doing tons of research, paying for expensive vet visits, over priced food and toys, and more...a bird is probably not the right pet for you.
I don’t think they chirp a lot if you have one bird I am pretty sure from my research they only chirp once and a while in an hour and it’s cute ☺️
@@Cows55 I have two birds. But it sometimes depends on the bird. One will scream his head off and one is chill.
@@FeatheredFlock haha 😆 that’s cute thy have diff personalities and diff species make noise more frequently 😁
@@Cows55 yep true.
I’ve been following you for so long I just bought your bird toys box I’m so excited 🥺🥺💕
Road to 200k hope you remember I have been a fan for ages now since 2k 😃❤❤❤
For anyone wondering a bird is like having a 3-year-old with a mind of an 8-year-old in the size of a bird. Elle, do you agree?
Lol🤣
why am I watching this- I already have two budgies ;-;
same BAHAHAHAH
Lol same with me. I have one on each shoulder as I type :)
@@georgia2993 aww that nice, my budgies are still not tamed but we are trying c:
Same lol 🤣
Thank you for giving us your tips!
I love her vids and I love her birds.
I have 2 cockatails and both are males I learn so much from her and now my birds are fully trained thanks to her ❤️
I got a bird but it’s too late 💔✨😞
What do u mean
It’s gone🥺✨
It died?!
Yes😖
I got 2 parakeets yesterday 🥺 I’m so glad I found your channel

@@catapillar7642 omg lol I don’t know what I was thinking 😂
She is amazing elle she knows what to do with birds 😍
Hi elle your birds are so cute and my birds learnt a lot just because of you thanks
I love your videos I'm gonna be getting a pair left on March 1 and now I know everything I need to know I've watched all of your videos and now I know how to treat my bird thank you so much.🕊😀
This video is so amazing you covered most things and i currently have a budgie myself that ive had for a while
That’s why I’m getting two so if I have to go to the shop or when I’m at college they have each other to keep Company ❤ also unless there the dog or cat has specifically shown signs that it’s a danger to the bird I think it’s safer for them to be introduced as if they are ever in contact at some point the dog or cat is going to be more willing to attack my dog has been introduced to chickens to start with and she was amazing with them and ever since my parrots and any type of small animal I have bought into the house I have introduced them to her and she has been amazing although I understand that some pets do not get along. like I said if they show signs of aggression then maybe it’s not best to introduce them but otherwise I think it’s important to introduce them so they can understand it’s not a squeaky toy. Much love! ❤
Hi Elle, You helped me a lot.
I have 2 birds who are really annoying( but I love them) and my 5yo cousin came to visit last month. Since then she's begging for a bird. Now with this video I can finally convince her to not get a bird.
Thank you so much.
Love, Fan.
Hi Elle! Your my favorite bird youtuber!
