    Can I just say how amazing you are with small birds? I am so impatient with how skittish they can be, so I tend to lean towards larger parrots (I have a blue-fronted amazon). I always love seeing people who are able to tame small birds and make them just as loving towards humans as larger parrots.

    The set up is nice. I use the dowels and other perches. My birds like walking across the length of the cage as well as jumping and climbing. I like the rope perches too and so do my bird. I put the ropes outside too and connect two cages together. I also buy my cages whole sale from distributors. I save a lot that way. Btw, Minion reach 150 words a few days ago and still going strong. He's an incredible talker. For anyone reading I have a series logging my amazing budgie's vocabulary. We're ready for Valentine's Day.

So now I bought her a pretty big cage(90×75×45cm) and we started to organize it!!!

    Thanks so much! I was so young when I got my cockatiel, (about 9) and my mom just did what the pet store told her to do, thinking not that it was "good enough" but thinking that that must be what you're supposed to do. I still have this cockatiel seven years later, and I'm just now learning about the perches in my own research from you. I plan on saving up money on my summer job to get him this cage, or a flight cage similar to it at the very least. These tips were super helpful, thank you again! I'll be looking at more of your videos for sure.

    About 1 month, I had gotten a pair of cockatiels because they were the only two left at the shop and me and my mom decided to get both. We also got the cage and the food from the store and the cage is not that big but it was enough for now as our budget was low. I have tried approaching the birds but because of various reasons, I didn't have the time to do so. Recently I started researching more to bond and care for them properly and I came across your channel. Luckily you even talk about the care of budgies which was very much needed as I already have 2 budgies at home but have been neglecting them since. Your channel has really informed me of all the necessary things to do for a bird and I am very grateful. Thank you for the amazing content!

      I know, her birds are so lucky. I’ve received a budgie from a pet store six days ago as a belated birthday gift. I was told that she (at least I think the budgie’s a “she”) was less than two months old with clipped wings, and I wanted to allow her to live a healthy and happy life to the fullest, but I don’t think there’s an avian vet where I live and my mom believe that birds don’t get vets and eat only seeds. My hope is that I gets a place of my own and have enough money to give Nozomi the best life she deserves.

    We got a green cheeked conure from Petsmart not even two weeks ago. She died suddenly on Tuesday. I believe she was sick when we brought her home but our inexperience caused us to miss symptoms she was showing and the guilt that we could have saved her will haunt me forever. She was the most loving bird I ever met. She would lay back in my palm and I’d cup my hand over her and she’d fall asleep right there in my hand, nuzzling her little beak in and it was purely magical. I bonded with her and felt so much love for her and from her. I am beside myself, completely devastated and now I’m watching all these videos on TH-cam seeing all the things I did wrong. I don’t believe my actions killed her, I know she was sick now when I look back at pics of her from the day she came home from Petsmart but I was too stupid to realize it. She was only 7 months old and as precious as a living thing could possibly be. My heart is broken forever and I miss her so much. With all this research I am doing now as a grieving process I may in time want to try again with another bird, now that I have learned so much more. Can I ask a question? How do you feel about the wire grate at the bottom of the cage? I watched another video on TH-cam that suggested that grate be removed and filled with bedding because the wire hurts their feet and they could possibly injure their heads trying to pick things up off the cage floor. I removed mine after I saw that but now I’m wondering if I should do that with the new bird someday.

    Happy to see a real flight cage, something with horizontal flight space! I like that you also tried to do a healthy set-up of leaving the center more open for flying! Such an improvement compared to your other budgie cages that are only square and tall. When I see people making improvements, it makes me think that maybe there's more hope for little birds, and the hope can spread and encourage other owners of small birds to give their small friends better living situations. ❤
    A tip. 🙂
    The only thing I would like to see more of in bird cages, for small to medium sized birds, are skinny perches. I know skinny perches are really hard to find, but they help a bird's grip which is good for their feet muscles as well as balance. To improve a bird's grip and balance, means their muscles won't get tired when they sit on perches, and they will have more grip for playing and eating, and less chances of missed landings or falls. You have some skinny options, and your set-up is a nice one, but for others to know, for the muscles to build up it's good to have either more skinny perches or set-ups that have a bird be on the skinny options frequently (this goes for all small to medium birds, budgies, cockatiels, etc).
    Most of the time with natural perches, at a store we can look at what's available, and since no two are exactly alike, we can pick out the skinniest ones. We can also always go back to see what comes in stock, and slowly accumulate more skinny perches. Of course, we don't want to overcrowd a cage or lose out on variety, though.
    Have a happy day, and healthy cages, with healthy set-ups, everyone! 🙂

    • @ElleAndTheBirds
      @ElleAndTheBirds  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Wow a cage review of my own cages 😂 oooh I’ll try to look for some more skinny perches for all my birds. My other budgie cages are 24” x 22” wide and deep, and there are actual flight cages that are 24” wide. I think we can both agree that bigger cages are better!!

    • @ccgirl5055
      @ccgirl5055 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      ​Hi, hope you don't take my comments as negative, I love everything you are doing for helping teach better care for birds. I just feel there's always room for us bird lovers to learn and improve together and from each other. :)
      More about cage width... Minimum space for birds to have flight space is 30" wide. Any cage can be sold titled as flight cages, some are true flight cages some aren't. If a space is observed, anything less than 30" wide doesn't give quite enough space. Considering the wider a cage is, the greater distance perches can be placed, and create a space to fly from one side to the other side, and encourage birds to do more than just hops and leaps or tight flutters.
      Since you are so wonderfully influential, I just wanted more awareness on proper horizontal widths, which your new cage is GREAT because of it being wider! It's nice to have a spread of always improving knowledge, so that when or if possible, everyone can hope to have great, healthy, cages for their feathered friends.
      So yes, we can definitely agree that bigger is always better! (for novices, sometimes bigger does need to be specified as a wider bigger though. I've seen a lot of people who go "bigger is better", but the type of bigger they choose is just tall with no horizontal flight space. Horizontal space is the real importance for birds.) :D
      It's understandable that we can't all have perfect cages though, but we can all still try to have good cage set-ups. Like your new cage, perches and toys mostly to the ends and sides, perches running back to front instead of the length of the cage, leaving the middle of the cage more open for flying from one side to the other side like an airplane, and not over-crowding a cage.
      Keep up the great videos, I hope your channel continues to get better and popular!

      I don't think that this cage is available outside US. So sad. I live in Sweden and I'm looking for a cage that's good. This video has given mi anxiety. I have realized that my birds cage is not the best. Also that the swedish market is crap compaird to the US market. If someone know a site that ships cages within EU that are similar in quality and price I would be very thankful. I would buy this cage in a heartbeat if it was available...
      Current cage is only 67cm wide (26.5 inches) and a bit shorter. I only have 1 budgie but he is waiting for a friend. I suspected he was sick but the bloodwork didn't show anything. Now we need to do another checkup just to be safe before finding him a friend. Our first bird we found outside in Sweden (also budgie) she was attacked by other birds. I got very attached to her and 8 years l8er she died. I was broken and I am against keeping birds at that time (still conflicted but I love birds). Long story short. Swedish market sux and I don't think "BirdsConfort" ships to sweden.
