Time and time again I'm impressed by how much thought you put into the health of your birds. It all makes sense, the redundancy you put in place to keep them safe, all the details that I would never come up with in the first place. It shows just how much you love your birds, this love shines through in every video of yours I watch
I am thinking about making a bird room and you have given me a lot of good things to consider. Thank you! Your room looks beautiful. I really like how you made the posts look like birch trees!
Thank you ❤️
it looks absolutely amazing! lol, never expected i'd end up somewhat envious of a birds' living space xD
hmmm... why is my brain now hoping to see episodes of a new show, "My Bird-safe Room" on HGTV ...? xD
Newt's bachelor pad is definitely tonnes better than mine lol well done!!
this looks great! your birds are very lucky to have you!
Thank you ❤️
It's lovely!
That said, I give the plastic screen a month at most.
😂 we’ll see what happens, so far he has showed 0 interest in chewing it at all so 🤞
This is so impressive and creative with all these customized detail prioritizing bird safety and happiness throughout. Newt must've been very dainty his prior life to have scored such people parents!
Wow! That room is fantastic! Newt must be thrilled with his new digs. Question: are the electrical cords not a problem? Birds don’t bite them?
They can be, with how things are laid out they tend not to notice them but we will be adding protective tubing around the cables as well
You are an amazing person. Most people would not go to such lengths for their pets. Newt will be so happy with all the extra space. Will you be getting more birds?
We will be getting a bird with the hopes of them being a companion for Newt in the future
For the water bath shelf, you could use a glass shelf. They are made of tempered glass.
This bird room is so, so inspiring! Thank you for showing is clips of the building process as well!
so amazing!! Newt is a very lucky boy!
Your work you have put into this room is really inspiring, good job! In my next life I want to be a bird living with you ❤
🥰
❤
Your vision is clear and you are unstoppable .
All the best
I absolutely LOVE everything in this birdroom! Can I please borrow you and your wife😂 I got so many good ideas from this video! Thank you SO SO SO much for sharing! ❣️🐦🐤
😂 you can take my ideas but you can’t have my wife!
@@FlockTalk hahaha I guessed it was that way😂 Then I just take your great ideas. Thank you😜
You could leave that empty area empty but put 2 training perches and work on recall there.
Rewatching this video once again just because at how much love and affection is poured into each detail!! Cannot wait until I'm able to get a burd room for mine and follow as much of this as possible!! Loads of love to you and your adorable little family ❤
Love this! Really great ideas and looks beautiful!!
Love the new space 😍
Absolutely love following your channel. I’ve learned so much watching you.
So thank you.
What are the light bulbs and lamp 🔗 link?
I use featherbrite bulbs with an all living things lamp
Looks fantastic but you are gonna have too do something with your electric cables. Your going to have to place them in metal conduit pipe and cage the light and air mover, because your conure is 100% going to try and chew on it. You could place the airmover in a dog cage for example. If you do get wire mesh for the bird room then making a cage for your wall light is very simple to build, just find a cardboard box big enough to enclose the light ,unfold it and copy the outline on the flat wire mesh .cut and fold useing wire hog clips to hold the sides box. Fix to the wall with some simple wire clips from your hardware store.
The cables will be getting concealed in the appropriate tubing for chew-proofing as soon as I've decided exactly where everything is going to stay!
Why would I need to conceal the air filter? any of the dangerous mechanics are completely concealed + gaps are far too small for bird feet to fit in, the casing is already metal they won't be able to chew through, a dog kennel wouldn't really protect it from chewing since they could just fit in the gaps between the bars! The light doesn't get hot to any extent so I'm also not entirely sure why it would require a basket cover, to keep them from tampering with the ballast I suppose?
That light has been completely uncovered for a few years so I'd just like to know what hazard I've been missing there!
The wires absolutely! I'm just not following you 100% on the rest of it!
Newt is such a cutie!
Newt is going to be so happy there!
I sure hope so ❤️
Great looking room. ✋🏼😁
Thank you ❤️
It looks stunning absolutely beautiful 🦜❣️
Great video! 💕
Спасибо. Видно, что комната сделана с любовью к своим птицам.
Love ❤️ the new bird room. It's beautiful. Question, do you make or buy the ropes hanging from ceiling?
I buy the rope, I did splice and whip the ends myself to make them easier to move around and rotate the room layout, and I made the net!
You could buy the required size of sisal from maple leaf ropes to attach to the side to the plastic rocks.
Beautiful bird room!
Thank you ❤️
You can cover electrical cords with grey PVC electrical conduit.
Rest in peace the birds that passed away 🕊🕊🕊
What a fantastic bird room! just a question, do your birds bite the cables? I can see that the camera has a cable. My budgie and parrotlet every now and then get interested in cables, so I always supervise.
Mine never have, that said any cables that will be staying in the room (UV light, bath, filter) will still be getting appropriate tubing to protect them from being chewed as a precaution!
F ya it came out amazing 🧡🐦
Love those stick on hooks you have for the ropes. Where did you get them from? Thanks
Works great
It is beautiful!! Can't wait to see both your babies in there!!💚💚
nice work! dont think the fake plants would survive over here, but what a nice aviary that became, gg!
Beautiful bird room! Do you have a link to that bird cage or where I could get one? I would love to buy a couple for my birds
www.tscal.com/catalog/bird-cages/wrought-iron-cages/
It’s #0499, it’s a double decker cage originally so it’s two cages supposed to stacked on top of eachother but they have a variety of nice large cages with small bar spacings
It looks absolutely amazing!! Can u tell me where you got the bird bad? 🤩
I love this room for the birds. I would love to know more about the bird bath where to get it and also do you not have any issues with them chewing on the electrical cords?
The electrical cords got protected by clear pvc tubing and other chew proof wrapping, the tub is called the pioneer pet swan drinking fountain! It’s a cat/dog water bowl so most chain pet stores carry similar things!
I may try to fashion drawers than can be pulled out instead of rotating bowls. Love the room super cool. I don't even have a bird yet, but am taking my time with constant research to create the right environment for the parrot I do get. Still looking at Superb Parrots, Linnies, and Parrotlets. Not doing a total room, but making over a china closet or cabinet. Front will be acrylic sides and top metal fabric. Door in door on the sides, drawers on the bottom to change out papers etc. Then I will buy my bird. Having trouble finding a breeder. I live in northern Arkansas, very rural. Planning on going to the Missouri Bird Fair in October. Any advice?
You can get plastic baseboards and many other shapes. Home Depot and home hardware have it.
I used that plastic net with my two canaries.
We used window screen for our door .it comes in a roll
Maybe add a few ladders in the empty space
I love how you mounted to cage to the wall, I am planning to do that with my own bird cage, but why did you not put a plastic sheet behind it to make it easier to clean? Do your birds not fling their food? Mine do and it gets stuck to the wall
The cages only get used for sleeping so food doesn’t end up over there, if it does the wall panels we chose are already slick and easy to clean so I wouldn’t worry about an extra plastic barrier for my room’s setup. Otherwise yeah, a plastic barrier sounds like a great idea for a standard wall!
@@FlockTalk Ok, thank you! I'm trying to figure out how to have the setup for my own birds, but the food would have to stay in their cage and I'm worried about potentially mold growing if left.
Nice but when you were doing demolition a bit should of thought about in wall sockets. Don't like the exposed cables that the birds can chew at any time.
The cables have since been covered for bite-proofing
What are the light bulbs and lamp 🔗 link?
Smart move. Conures can be very nippy.
❤️
So is the panneling just wood? Or hardboard? I really want to do what you did with the perches, but I'm trying to get a good idea on the materials you used!
Hardboard would be the more accurate descriptor for it, large wood sheets with screen printed imagery so it looks nice but doesn’t have a ton of seams a bird could grab on to and chew
So did you just drill through the board and put the perch in the board itself? Or are they into the wall aswell
They’re in to the wall, could easily be replicated without my wood wall panels.
It’s more secure if you utilize a drywall anchor and screw the perch in to that but it can be done without it- I just find they end up spinning around over time that way.
Quite literally it’s just drill a hole in the wall, screw the perch in to it, done!
@FlockTalk ok! I think I just spaced out you explaining it in the video! 🤣 I have plaster and just picked up some hardboard panels for my project! The plaster chips way too easy for me to feel safe with just that as the wall these panels really help cover that up! I appreciate all the info :)
where did you get the plastic rocks ??
Hardware store carry them! They’re designed for home exteriors!
every bird related metal object ive ever bogiht has come bent to hell and back lol i dont know what it js about bird cages and bowls but theyre always fucked up
Where did you get the birdbath?
This one was from online but many pet stores will carry similar products in the dog/cat water bowl section
@@FlockTalk ok thanks
Are you not afraid that the birds will chew on the cabels?
The cables will be covered with tubing so they can’t be chewed
@@FlockTalk ok cool :)
Big space for a single bird...
Giiirl!!! How was it $3000 to 4000?! Where are you getting your material! Lol
Welcome to Canada 😂
Pretty sure I still have all the receipts if you want a full breakdown
Hello I found another video of yours it's much more recent just says it's posted two weeks ago.
I'm a subscriber to your videos enjoy them their educational and you're very well experienced in Paris so I have a question for you.
* I just purchased what I ordered from a male from a breeder was the request for a male Pacific Blue parallel your breeder Owosso owns the Pirate Store said he knows a breeder that has for parrotlets babies that are just eating seeds in a good to buy now to their fine that you parakeets eat at this point because of his young age so I want you to know when I booked Italy wasn't their woman was at the store when today Friday the 28th when I went to pick him up and I picked the darkest one of the four blue ones which way because once was purchased that morning anyways I said to the woman I don't see a Blue Streak next to his eye which means that the male she said that's because they're so young and I said I was going to see the dark blue colored ramp at which is like a royal blue she said that's because they're so young I said wow okay so I'm buying the bird and I said I have a question again and how do you know this is not a female how do you tell the sex at such a young age that if you can tell by the plumage and she looked you turn the bird over and looked at the vent and said I would say it's the mail so I sure will what happens if it turns out to be a female later on can I bring it back for an exchange since I'm paying $350 for the bird for a male females are much cheaper she said now you can exchange it but I have to take that up with the guy that got the birds that owns the store that got the birds for me to begin with.
* so my question to you is how what are the techniques can you look at a parrot and determine is only two months old he or she how do you determine the sex of a parrotlet at such a young age? Can you tell me if there's any other things to look for that will indicate it's a male or female.? Thank you so much I'm a subscriber and I did enjoy your videos as I mentioned before and I look forward to your videos and future and your reply regarding at determining the sex of a parrotlet at two months of age. Thank you Fred PS I guess if I get a reply from you it'll be in my TH-cam account I assume thank you
The plumage would give away their gender even at a young age. Even their first set of feathers will still have very visual differences. Males have stark dark cobalt blue behind the eye, along the wing, and at the rump.
@@FlockTalk would it be okay for me to send you a picture or a couple pictures of my baby parrotlet talking about the breeder and the woman at the store that's familiar parents are unfamiliar with the weather with the male-female and I specifically ordered a male cost 350. And she said well as I mentioned that the bird so young as it gets a little older than feathers may show that it's a mad but they don't know at this point but it clearly your post says that the first feathers that come in will distinguish whether it's a male or not or female and I start the same thing that the rump Is Not Afraid blue so doblo and there's no chilled wine color teal line stripe behind the eye. Because I had a male parrotlet. And he had a line behind his. Yes he was older girls about 6 months old when I got them and he had a Royal Blue Ridge blue tail lamp. So obviously I'm being misled I think I'll send you some pictures if possible to attach pictures to this this posting thing? I like for your opinion to see the show you pictures in a little Feller or it that's it for now. Because then I'm going to call the breeder up I specifically requested a male. Is it possible for me to attach some pictures that you can look at and tell me what you think of close-up of the head and the rum I pull the wings back so you could see the rum.? Fred.
You can either message me on Instagram or Tumblr to be able to attach images
what's she's not showing is the shit that she needs to clean every day because otherwise the birds will die. And I'm 99% sure all her birds are already dead
Id love to know what I neglected to include? The floors get swept every day/ every other day, the papers in the cage get changed weekly, the water bowls get cleaned daily, the foragers get inspected twice a day to ensure all the food is getting cleared out of them properly.
Really not much more maintenance than a cage would be
Osb offgasses. Not good for anyone.
My understanding is that the variety we had purchased does not contain any formaldehyde adhesives and as such does not off gas VOCs to an extent that could be harmful to the birds
