This video is old and They are in a large cage. There is no mirror and they have natural perches. They are very happy and healthy.
I never knew that finches were a messy bird, I do like watching them though when they come around here. They fly in such a unique pattern.
Hi Arnold thnx for stopping by. Happy Resurrection Day tomorrow. 🤓💕✝
There loud two
Here in Australia Zebra finches budgies ( parakeets) and cockatiels are native and they often follow each other in the wild in response to rain so the three are the ultimate trio they have evolved to be in each other’s company are indeed all very much flock birds.
This was great. It's always nice to hear about pets from people who have experienced living with them and know the pros and cons. 💜
Thnx so much for watching. Have a wonderful day. Happy Easter to you guys🤓💕🐣✝
I agree with everything you said about finches and parkeets. I own both and finches are messes bird I have ever owned. I one have one negative I think mirror are cruel and you can have just one parakeet, but you need to interact with it often. I had one parakeet for 3 years and just now bought a second, they get along great but my first parkeet ignores me more now.
Yes, I agree you need to interact with your bird if you have just one. They will bond with you. But having 2 does lessen that bond. Just keep interacting with them🤓The mirror, both of my birds love it. But I daily interact with both birds. They are my pets, I love them🤓Thnx so much for stopping by.🤓🐦🐦
Good information Brenda. I personally would rather have parakeets. I grew up with them, my Mom liked having them and I have owed 2 myself. When we moved they liked to sit on their swing and swing all the way in the car lol.
Lol that's cute. Thnx for stopping in. Hope your Easter was a nice one. Blessings🤓💕🐦🐦
@@BLeesPets You're welcome. Happy Easter.
Thanks for the information about the two!! Happy Easter!! 💗🐰🕊🐣💗
Happy Easter ✝💐 to you. Thnx for coming by🤓💕🐦🐦
Ok. I commented in the last video of yours I saw. I'll say this: You need to have different branches for your birds or they''ll get bumblefoot. And put some more amusements in there. Imagine yourself living in the boring cage.
Thnx for you comment. But there was 5 different toys in there. I also change out there toys so they don't get bored. I believe it's also good to leave a little room for the birds to fly to exercise as they would naturally do. To many toys are not good either. Imagine yourself living in clutter and not being able to fly. Branches I agree. They are in a different cage now with smaller branches.
Ya
Me with both sitting here watching this like: 👁👄👁
Thnx for watching : )
I suck as a Zebra mom. No matter what, I give them huge flight cages, pair females together, they still try to mate with each other and rip their own and each other's feathers out half the time.
Aww I'm sure you are a good Finch mom. Well either try a female and male together and if you don't want baby chicks then just take the eggs out when you see them. You may find them happier. Or get a parakeet/bungie : )
Ive had budgies now i have finches.. i prefer finches. Their bite doesnt hurt and theyre less messy because theyre small and their droppings are smaller than budgies
my zebra finches and parakeet actually enjoy each others company they even play together in the same cage they don't hurt each other at all and my parakeet enjoys all my 4 finches because she lost 4 friends 2 finches and 2 parakeets and the finches keep her happy because i have school a lot so i can't do anything with her.
The 4 finches are babies of the first two finches i owned they had 5 but wookie passed.
Aww that is so sweet that they all get along. Thanks for sharing that. :) Stay safe and healthy :)
I have two zebra finches in a big flight cage, I want to suggest to some people who are planning to get a big cage to get it from a place like offerup. I bought a big cage that was never used with everything the bird needs for 25 dollars.
Wow! That's a super deal. Yes, thanks for suggesting that.
"Offerup" Is that the name of the webside from which you bought the big cage?
i think finches are more interesting,especially the gouldians❤ as for parakeets i like the turquoisines n rosy bourkes..friendly n quite..the african greys,rosellas,conures n bigger parrots are beautiful to see fly in aviaries
Thank you for stopping by🤓👍🐦🐦
Hi my friend, nice video and beautiful parrots .... I wish you a happy Easter.
Thnx so much for coming by. And Happy Easter to you. Hope your day was wonderful🤓🐦🐦💕
Finches are easier and quieter I would definitely recommend a finch as a beginner bird
Yes you are right : ) Depends on which finch you get though. The Society finches are quieter then the Zebra finches. Thnx for stopping by : )
Hi Brenda and happy Monday. This was very informative and you covered it all. We enjoyed having Parakeets. Yes, get a mirror. Our bird loved talking and looking in the mirror all day! LOL. He was full of himself! (just kidding). I had to clean the mirror a few times a day for him. Great topic. Tfs. Sending Cali love. XOXO :)
Thnx Lila for stopping by🤗💕🐦🐦
Thanks for the interesting information. Happy Easter!
Thnx so much for stopping by. Happy Easter to you🤓💕✝
Beautiful bird, thanks for posting
Thnx for stopping by🤓💕🐦🐦Happy Easter to you🤓💕🐣✝
Thank you for sharing your knowledge on both birds.
Hi B... We always had budgies and Cockatiels. Fun!!💙🌼😀
Thnx Deb for stopping by. Have a wonderful week🤓💕🐦🐦
I agree with everything you said I absolutely love budgie's they are so funny to watch
Thnx so much for stopping by : ) And yes, I love my budgies they are so interactive : )
Very interesting video about your cute birdies
Thnx for warching🤗💕
Great video. Very informative. I've been thinking of keeping finches for a while. This helps a lot!
Thnx for stopping in. Happy Easter to ya too🤓🐦🐦
Did you get some finches? Still deciding am going back & forth.
My first bird was a parakeet.. ten years ago.. since then i had a few more parakeet's.. now i have pair of finches..this is the whole new expirience for me..
They really are a big difference. I really enjoy my parakeets. Thnx for stopping by🤓💕
@@BLeesPets Yes.. i agree.. And you're welcome..
Just bought my first pair of budgies and I pick them up tomorrow!! Very excited thank you for this video
You are welcome. Thnx for stopping by. Have fun with them : )
Thanks. I was trying to decide but needed info. I will go with parakeets.
Good choice! All the best with your new little bird : )
@@BLeesPets Thank you. 🙏🌹
Very good video ❤️. I 100% agree...I don’t have any budgies anymore but I had them for years growing up....now I own 3 owl finches and they are my first finches....(I also have a ring neck dove too 😝). My finches are beautiful but yah I call them my chickens lol because they do not really care for people 😝. But they are sweet, and I love their noises they make...they don’t play but they do love mirrors and toys that have things they can rip off for nesting...but I don’t see any of them stepping up on my finger anytime soon....my dove though...she’s great...she loves me and loves being around humans! Just like a budgie ☺️. But a tad bigger 🤓
Sorry for the late reply. That's awesome a dove. Love them. We have wild buddies a ring neck dove and pigeon too. They love hanging out in the garage with us. See my video on our Pigeon friend. Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a great weekend :)
I have 7 ringneck doves. Love them!
great tips thumbs up
Thnx🤓👍
Which one has a stronger bite force?
Hi. I have had a flock of zebra finches for three years, and I'm considering having also a pair of budgies. One of my concerns is: aren't budgies louder than finches?
yes they are.
Agree about finches being messy. They eat so fast and most fly up after having a meal that the seeds get blown away all over the place. I do quite enjoy cleaning after them though.To me theyre definitely more interesting than budgies
Thnx for commenting :)
how loud are finches compared to parakeets?
Great informing video good job 👍
Thnx for watching🤗💕
And one thing you left out, lifespan! Finches have short lifespan compared to budgies, right ? Personally I love them both 💖 I'll give budgies 10/10 & for finches 9/10. Based on many factors.
Yes, so right. Thanks, forgot about that. I do like both as well. Thnx for coming by🤓💕🐦
@@BLeesPets You welcome ☺
Thank you. Still deciding on new family members between finches & parakeets. I've had lovebirds & a quaker parrot years ago. Family members have had bigger parrots & macaws, they're not my choice though are beautiful.
Watching this & other videos of yours for 2nd time. We can all laugh as I'm going back & forth on which to get still. Debating for weeks. I don't expect to be traveling by RV though you guys seem to be having fun. I ordered a large flight cage online which could house 2 of either. I love the song of the finches, do enjoy the wild ones outside. Am learning towards 2 male parakeets. Now making sure they're males will be interesting. I've watched Love of Pets & she's shown a couple of babies. The male seems to have pink cere and female light blue with tiny white spots near nares. Well, so long as they're both the same sex. Hope I'm not disappointed in cage I ordered online. Now making a list of supplies, type toys & food. Thank you for sharing your videos. 💕
Oh nice. Yeah, I had 2 parakeets. I didn't know the that the females are dominating and my poor Louie was being squawked at constantly. So I had to rehome Holly. I'm now thinking on getting another male Parakeet. The males do have a blue ridge beak. Females have no color or a slight pink. But now on the other hand. Female Finches are quieter. Anyway, thanks for stopping by. Have a great weekend :)
@@BLeesPets thank you!! Great info. Helpful.
@@BLeesPets
Am rewatching your videos & pretty much decided on parakeet then add another. I love watching & listening to finches so maybe a few years down the road. I'll have to see what the cage I ordered online is really like. It says 46×35.5×18. If it works I'll set it up, get supplies, feed, and off to find a male parakeet .
Am sure Holly is happy & more peace in your bird haven. I only have 1 dog now ( my little girl died after surgery almost a yr ago) he's a tall boy so we'll see the interaction. He's a retired racing greyhound and perfect for me. I adopted him about 3 1/2 yrs ago & gets along with cats outside & animals at the vet, doesn't chase the birds or rabbits outside. He's a total couch potato but will be curious. Seems fine walking around the pet store . You seem to have ot down with your feathered friends & fur babies.
Best to you!
@@dloveofgod8269 AWESOME!🤓👍Do a vid on your new feathered friend.💕
My dad owned a finch when he was younger, he says they’re the “clean” ones, but they weren’t at all xD, he says birds are a mess and have to be cleansed up a lot, 8 mean yeah, but I still want one
LOL well, they can be a mess. But one Parakeet is not as messy as a Finch : ) Get one ; )
Good afternoon (о´∀`о) ❤️
Cute birds 🐦🐦(人´∀`*)💗💖
Thank you for stopping by. Happy Easter to you if you celebrate it.🤓💕🐣✝
ok so i have two budgies and I don't know if i should buy a munia bird its almost a finch and you can easily mistake it a finch
so do you think I should get more budgies or finches
Munia's are cool looking. Are you getting just one munia bird? I would get at least 2 because they are flocking birds. Are you putting them in the same cage as the budgies? I know they can get along but I keep mine apart. They seem less stressed. So to answer your question to me if you already have 2 budgies I'd get the munia as long as they are Not in the same cage. But that would be me. I'm finding that other then the Zebra finches, there are other cool finches out there. I now have Society finches and love them. Hope this helps : )
@@BLeesPets thank you for your advise I am getting four Munias and I am not putting them in same cage because they can kill each other or so. I didn’t though you would reply thank you
Are male or female busgies louder? im looking for a bird that is not so load simce i live in an apartment.
No they are really the same loudness. If you get one it might not be as loud. But it isn't as loud as a parrot that is for sure. You might want to get a finch or a dove. They aren't loud. Unless you have a lot of them. ; )
I have a question! I would like to take a finche, but I would like it to be just one. I have two more parrots. Do you think she will feel alone? or if it's a good idea?
Keep in mind they are flocking birds. 2 would be better : )
@@BLeesPets ok ^^
Is it okay to mix either parakeets or finches from different shops?
Sure Just make sure they look healthy. Hope this helps : )
Thank you, I try to make buying them almost a rescue, don't like seeing them alone at a shop.
I definitely agree with everything you said about finches vs parakeets. I had zebra finches and a parakeet years ago. The zebra finches were a lot more work because they are 10 times messier. The seeds and hulls would be everywhere! So were their droppings- On the floor, on the wall, in the cage. Every morning when I got up, my day began with cleaning up the finch mess- Vaccuming and washing the wall. The parakeet, on the other hand, the mess would not be even half of what the finches made and stayed in the cage. Zebras also sound like a cross between a kazoo and a game show buzzer. Society finches and Gouldian finches have a much better "voice". Canaries of course are finches but I haven't had any and honestly they seem like a species onto itself with different voices in the singers and even the type and color varieties, so I won't mention them.
I love the parakeets and probably would have chosen the Society finch or Gouldian if they had been available at the time where I had been living, just for comparison.
Yes agree. I do love my Society finches and yes they are messy. Thnx for the input and for stopping by : )
A clear plastic around the sides of the cage with an open top, with some sections cut out , does greatly reduce the mess they make. Works well for my cockatiel.
So i would really love to get a social finch but do I have to get two?
No but it really is so much better for the bird. They are flocking birds. Their life is always with other birds. You would have to give it a lot a lot of attention. Hope this helps
I am about to get a bird and my grandma witch i live with is asking me witch is easyer to care for and im asking you if i should get a parakeet or a finch like witch is easier to care for
Parakeets are really easier. They be a little loud at times but they seem to be a little more cleaner then finches. Finches throw their food out more and they poop more. They also seem to eat more. Parakeets like to play more with their toys. So if you get a parakeet make sure they have at least 2 or 3 toys in the cage. Make sure that you make room for them to exercise their wings. Leave space between toys. As I put their toys on both ends of the cage. Hope this helps : )
@@BLeesPets thank you that really helps
Where do I buy a finch? Becuse I don’t know if they are at petco
PetSmart or Petco both do : )
I love zebrafinches =) and canarys
I want birds that love their species and that they can be more in the same cage and each pair have young. i don't want to separate them but to reproduce easily but not so often. what do you recommend me?
Finches are good for reproducing. You can control how many by just simply taking that eggs out.
If you get two males they’re good companions for eachother without all of the insane hormones, or without having to worry about removing eggs. This goes for both finches and budgies. I have a male and a female budgie and I regret it. The male chased the female around all day trying to mate with her, and he acts crazy aggressive as a result
I love both but budgies are way more messy . My fist bird was a society finch he was tame and he lived ten years . Best bird I've ever had, both are equally great and both cheap in my opinion. Finches sell for 20/24 dollars and budgies 20/24 also where I live sometimes I can get them for 19 dollars depending where u go. My finch was very easy to tame he was basically tame and not scared of me from the day I got him..I was 12 when I got him and I bought him from Walmart years ago when they sold birds he died when I was 22 . I cried like a baby he died peacefully in his nest .
Aww so nice it lived for 10 years. I wonder if the Society finch are easier to tame then Zebra Finches. Cause all the zebra finches I've own I could never tame. I did all the right things to tame them. They weren't afraid of me but just could never get them on my finger. I've been thinking about getting a couple of Society Finches. I no longer have the others. Anyway, thnx for stopping by : )
@@BLeesPets Yes they are and they are smarter and more layed back in my opinion. I never could tame zebra finches either some people have luck though .
I have both 😂
That's awesome. I also have both. But instead of the Zebra Finches I have Society Finches : ) Thnx for watching
Where did you get the cage? (Parakeet)
Chewy.com Thnx for watching : )
Thanks!!
How can you tell if the birds are male or female?
The Finch male has orange cheeks. Male Parakeets usually have blue color on top of their beaks. But when parakeets are young its hard to tell because their color will get darker as they get older. Hope that helps :)
Which one is louder, finches or parakeets?
Parakeets by far are the loudest
@@BLeesPets thank you.
I have 50finches in aviary and the music is nice but parrots r funny to watch they should be inside the house if u can cope with the noise
50 finches??? Wow! that's a lot.
How about noise level?
They can get a little loud at times. With one it's not as bad. Some parakeets seem to squawk more then others. My two are not bad.
Bee le i want to export my zebra finches tell me how i deliver to you?
I really don't know how you'd do that. Sorry
@@BLeesPets ok thanks if you know about it then please tell me.
You need naturally wood perches and shredding toys no Cotten rope toys and no mirrors also birds need to eat pellets not seeds so they don’t get fatty liver disease also you don’t use a mirror because they will get hormonal. You also need more perches and possibly get another cage because birds need there own space. The perches need to be natural wood perches so your birds dont get bumble foot. Also if you can’t afford the cage and it’s set up then you most definitely can not own the bird. Also I don’t prefer the birds from pets mart because they can have a disses and they will not be tame. I am not trying to afend you in any way but I am 10 and have a budgie that is in the best care possible.
This video is old and They are in a large cage. There is no mirror and they have natural perches. They are very happy and healthy. Thnx for your concern
Ugh.. I'm so torn on what to get. I love little birds. I've had budgies but never finches. Though im considering getting a finch. I just have no idea what species. I really would like a little bird who sings pretty songs. I've thought of a canary but im just drawn to the finches more. Any ideas or thoughts for me to consider? I would like to interact with my bird. Have it be comfortable sitting on my hand eating some treats and such. I know finches are more of a hands off type but i don't believe in blanket statements like that. I've seen them become quite friendly with ppl and even fly to them. I just have no idea what type of finch to get or even where to look. It's confusing online. Would be nice to find a breeder who hand raises them...
Finches are lovely birds as long as you only have 2. 2 Females are best. And you can tame them but it takes a lot of training. Set the cage near you every day and stick hand in cage so they get used to it. Then try and feed them by hand. Females sing or should I saw squeak very nice. On the other hand Budgies are much easier to tame. I tamed my within the first 3 days. Louie gets on my hand as soon as I put my hand in. I do have 2 male budgies and there is less squawking. And male budgies sing very pretty. A Canary is one of my favorites for a singing bird. Which is one that is on my list to get next as a bird :) Don't know much about them yet. Go with your heart :)
Do they lay eggs?
Finches do but the parakeets don't that I've had. Finches lay eggs all the time and can even without a male present. Hope this helps
I personally think parakeets are better than finches because parakeets have personality and teach them to do stuff and finches are different because you can't get them to do stuff like parakeets and I have a parakeet
Yes you are right. They do have personality. Thnx for watching : )
What about noise?
The noise is not bad with 2 parakeets. Any more then 2 and it might be a little loud. They are not as loud as Parrots though. Hope this helps :)
I love my zebra finches🥰
I love finches too ; ) Thnx for watching
Are Finches Birds Or Parrots?
My Mom Is Allergic To Parrots,
And I Wanna Buy A Finch.
I Wanted To Buy A Parakeet,
But It Turned Out That Parakeets Are Parrots.
So Please Tell Me.
Finches are just birds yes : )
I wish I payed that price.. now parakeets are 44.99 for each now I think it ridiculous I think of benches are the same price they’re like 49.99 of each..
You can buy them from breeders for way cheaper
Are birds really noisy?
Yes, they can be. Finches are less noisy then parakeets. Female Finches are the least noisiest : ) Hope this helps
Thank u? I also want to know if They are social, and can be handled
Sorry! I meant to use an exclamation point!😅
@@joyofmusic110 both types of birds are. The parakeets are very easy to tame. The finches are not as easy. Have to really work at it every day. Hope this helps
That really helps!
Budgies are so messy! I think it depends on the cage and food, if the seeds have a cover then it will be super messy.
Yes agree I do think it depends on the cage. I've had both types of birds in the big cage I have and the Finches out beat the Budgies in messiness in that cage lol. I think because Finches fly around more then Budgies do. Therefore their feathers and food flies around more. Thnx for stopping by and watching : )
@@BLeesPets no problem I enjoyed your video! I agree with you too! I was watching my grandparents budgies and they get scared easy, poor things. So they fly around alot, also they have a male and female so the male is always bothering the female.
I have a finch.
Nice : )
Petsmart finches are $25
Yep I'm sure in some areas are the state's. Thnx for commenting. Have a wonderful week🤓💕🐦
I hate to keep birds because we have to lock them in a cage that's not good
I keep rabbits who are free roam
That's cool that you have rabbits. You can let birds fly around a room they will come back to their cage for the food ; ) Thanks for stopping by : )
@@BLeesPets yeah! That's a good idea!
Parrots are very noisy. Zebras too but parrots are the worst. Canaries are the best.
Never had a canary but would love to. Thnx for stopping by
Don't get mirrors, they get birds frustrated.
They don't have mirrors now.
@@BLeesPets oh, sorry, I hadn't seen the Pinned comment
