I am wondering why you don't have any natural material foraging toys. I have a cockatiel and use medium parrot size toys she loves them. She actually perches on them to play (chew) on.
Please take natural branches of different thicknesses. So you don't always have to support your claws and they both have more fun nibbling wood. I have 2 budgies and like to nibble on cork bark. (by google Translator, i am from Germany)
@Moredhel83 Plus, Cork bark is a type of wood! Not a literal cork! your wrong! It's cork *BARK* Get your woods right man, WE ARE NOT STARTING AN ARGUMENT!
PLEASE READ. 🙂 I'm happy pillow finally got an upgrade, but sad that to your words it literally only is a "little upgrade". I don't know what research you did, but the minimum requirements for a single budgie is 30" horizontal width, 18" front to back depth, and 18" tall. A cage called "The You and Me Finch Flight Cage" is exactly the minimum requirements, and often COST LESS than what you just got. It's a slightly better and more proper cage, for less. A bird needs room to fly from one side of the cage to the other side, even at 30" there's barely enough room for that, and your new cage is shorter than 30" wide. While the importance of 18" deep of front to back space is for a bird to have room for their long tails to not hit cage bars, a variety of perches for foot health, and a variety of toys, all without compromising wing space for flapping and stretching. If you're new cage is still within return policy, then being the bird influences that you are, and if your budgie has a future of being caged more as life grows, I would hope you consider an exchange for your special Pillow to get at least the minimum of 30" horizontal width, 18" deep, such as the "You and Me Finch Flight Cage". Smaller cages are convenient for humans and where to fit the cages, BUT a bird's necessities are often more than what the average bird owner realizes. And the type of breeder cage you got, is for when birds are either show birds or just breeding for money, neither of which are kind situations for the animals themselves. I would not recommend you saying the cage is suitable for multiple birds, or you should mention for your viewers that it's not size friendly to have two or more birds in. (Additional set-up notes... Putting perches going directionally back to front at the ends of the cage is good, leaving the center open, free of perches, to encourage a bird to fly from one side to the other side of the cage. Flying being more important than scooting the long horizontal space or perches and toys being in the way of flight path. Having toys hang from the tops of walls instead of the roof also keeps paths open, or toys in the corners works too, and still provide play for a caged bird ). 🙂
I have 2 budgies, and a cockatiel I am going to try to get a girl soon for mating. I would recommend natural perches, dowls will hurt their feet and cause infection, so you can put them on an angle, and carve the dowls it will help. Witch you did a great job with the perches! Also try different toys to see what he likes, foraging toys are great! And natural shredding toys instead of plastic toys for the morgority of his toys
Your channel is great and I love your birds! They’re precious. I have noticed that they don’t have much foraging/shredding toys. Pillows toys are all plastic and although he may like them it doesn’t really provide much mental stimulation. This doesn’t mean get rid of the toys he has it just means add some better ones and the ones they destroy will have to be replaced regularly. Every bird is different so your birds may not play with those toys but it really is recommended! This isn’t a hate comment or anything but even bird owners don’t always know everything or may need some things pointed out! I love your videos and your son is absolutely adorable lol
I recommend putting twist ties on the cage openings cause birds are really smart and can easily get through and escape and I also think that you could add some more toys like foraging toys so they have some stuff to shred! I have some ideas for different toys: bird kabob, finger traps, Maybe add more natural wood perches that are different shapes and sizes, tissue paper, a ladder with things to do, little bridge, and stainless steel bowls for pillows food!
Yep. Once my mom came home and all 5 of are birds where on top of the cage with the cage door cracked open.. Whenever we leave we put on zip tyes now. My birds could of escaped or deid that day.
I love the new cage 4 pillow I just feel my two cents for what it's worth the doors would be better tilted down so pillow can land and walk up into the cage if that's possible?
Awww, just found you guys, I just adopted a budgie a month an a half ago. Trying to set up his cage and you guys helped, will be watching, your son is so cute and is a natural....
hey a friendly tip birds should not be on dowel perches even though you chisel them and plastic bowls will have lots os bacteria and get dirtier over a short amount of time. :)
This is awesome! So glad you decided to get a bigger cage for him! I have two budgies and I would suggest you put some natural wood toys and foraging toys for them to destroy. It’s there instincts to chew wood and forage
No no no this cage is to small for a cocktail never have disco or mirror,s or straight toys or perches for exampl if you had the bird sit on that same branch every minute of their lives you could get foot disease and never get sand paper toys you also need a bigger cage if,s too small you need a flight cage
First you should get natural perches only, even if you carved the dowel perches.Next you should get shredding and foraging toys to mimic what they would do in the wild.Also you need stainless steel bowls because plastic bowls collect bacteria easily.Last their diet needs to be pellets 60%, veggies 30%, and fruits 10% because seeds can cause fatty liver disease and heart problems.☺️
U need a bigger cage. It’s not far that just because it’s a small bird it gets a small cage. U should have the same kind of cage as the ocotillo for the budgie. More perches and more natural foraging toys. Plastic toys aren’t the best and also BELLS ARE SO DANGEROUS FOR BIRDS!! if u look when he was playing with the bell toy when ur son was holding it, look how he puts his mouth inside the bell!! There are so many Horror stories of birds getting there Beak Stuck in it and have to break there beak off themselves because they panic. PLEASE take that out!!
I love yall's channel, and just subscribed. Love the new cairn terrier. Same as toto, from the wizard of oz. Love the new budgie, and other 2 birds. Kid is cute as a button. Glad I discovered your channel on You Tube. I'm a huge animal lover. Hope you and your family are well, and stay safe with this crazy virus. From Sonny in New Orleans, La.
I would put more natural perches so his feet aren't always in one position and some shredding and foraging toys(Edit: Sorry, I saw that you talked about the dowel perches)
Nice cage! I have a similar cage, it's a finch flight cage I got at petco. I paid about the same too. My Cookie LOVES his cage. I bought the natural branches for it & ran them so they point to the front of the cage except for the ones by the food dishes. I hope Pillow enjoys his new cage! :D
hey not to hate yes you did get a bigger cage than before but, your cage is still on the small side and instead of buying the cheap plastic toys you should get more foraging toys to keep pillow entertained and i suggest using metal bowls because plastic bowls create more bacteria and you should do more research on birds before you got them but you still have a bit of time before its to late
It's better for different breeds of birds to have there own space, as budgies easily annoy cocktails. And cocktails can get teratoirall around different breeds of birds.
its not nessesary just use the grate it comes with and some paper for the bottom, its better for them. And this lady honestly doesnt know a lot about birds and what they need, the cage she bought is too small :/
You should get them a budgie trapeze. I found them on Amazon and they’re made out of material the birds can chew on. My Budgies love theirs and look so cute when they curl up on it.
actually that cage is perfectly fine for one budgie 16x16x19 is a good amount, and plus they let them out for the whole day so its good, and didnt elle say that thats a good amount and its not ellie its elle
Lol it's so cute when she did those baby voices to the little cute bird, I don't know why but I always find myself automatically talking to animals in a baby voice😂
I like that you are upgrading your setup for pillow, but I have a suggestion. I think you should give pillow more shreddable and foraging toys.
Omg I love your vids but I can't really hear it because my bugdie he loves your vids
I am wondering why you don't have any natural material foraging toys. I have a cockatiel and use medium parrot size toys she loves them. She actually perches on them to play (chew) on.
i agree my parrots all love natural material foraging toys and i think every parrot owner should supply their birds with toys like these
I agree my budgie has a sea grass trampaze he loves to destroy
Same my green cheek loves his foraging toys
Please take natural branches of different thicknesses. So you don't always have to support your claws and they both have more fun nibbling wood. I have 2 budgies and like to nibble on cork bark. (by google Translator, i am from Germany)
Cork isn't a good idea, birds can swallow the pieces they chew off!
@@Moredhel83 You are wrong. Dowel perches and plastic perches can cause your bird to have bumble foot, arthrites, or presure soars
Hallo ich bin auch Deutsch!
@Moredhel83 Plus, Cork bark is a type of wood! Not a literal cork! your wrong! It's cork *BARK* Get your woods right man, WE ARE NOT STARTING AN ARGUMENT!
set the perches at the corner it will fit in their accurately
3:11 try putting c clips on the smaller doors because budgies are VERY smart
yes, my budgie opened the door and flew away :(
@Alanah S oof sorry g
I have to do this with our Budgie! He escapes more than my cockatoo.
It takes time for birds to adjust. Your son is a natural.
That’s nice to say
Pillow looks like he likes hes new cage very much!

The cage is still too small
it may be small but pillow is always out so he practically just sleeps there
I never heard of a divided flight cage wow interesting

Please remove the plastic food bowl witch can cause a lot of bacteria even if you wash it it is best to have a stainless steal ones
Pillow deserves a lovely new setup!

All the toys being plastic is not good so please get some foraging and shreddable toys. I HIGHLY recommend planet pleasures toys
I would put more natural perches so his feet aren't always in one position and some shredding and foraging toys(Edit: Sorry, I saw that you talked about the dowel perches)
Love from India for both of your birds
Are you in England UK 🇬🇧 or America 🇺🇸 USA I am in England 🇬🇧 UK 🇬🇧
Omg🥰
i love the cage
Nice cage! I have a similar cage, it's a finch flight cage I got at petco. I paid about the same too. My Cookie LOVES his cage. I bought the natural branches for it & ran them so they point to the front of the cage except for the ones by the food dishes. I hope Pillow enjoys his new cage! :D

Good job, nice cage. I just got a cage very similar to yours. 30x18x18 inches £19.99 Finca pequeno from zooplus uk.
I’m getting a budgie soon that looks just like pillow but mine is sort of a baby and I’m getting it for free
Same size budgie cage I had cool 😎 miss my budgies I cant now because off ashma
Also YOUR BIRDS EVERYDAY DIET SHOULD NOT BE SEEDS BAD FOR BIRDS VERY BAD I WARN YOU!
Pearl was more excited about the new cage than pillow was he fell asleep in his new cage lol
why you don't buy another budgies for pillow
By the way the shavings are a waste of money you don’t have to put them in
Your cage is not bigger than my 🎉🎉
a video of the cockatiels cage at setup
How do y’all deal with poop outside the cage ?
Do not Have the douwel parches in his cage
Did you ever consider both birds sharing the same cage. My 2 cockateils share the same cage.
Bonnie Arandjelovic - We thought about it, but Pillow can often be a pest to Pearl, so we wanted them to have their own space. 😊
Oh no
It's better for different breeds of birds to have there own space, as budgies easily annoy cocktails. And cocktails can get teratoirall around different breeds of birds.
I though that pillow was a parakeet
The cage is so cool.
Hi, as a beginner would like to know the details of aspen shaving.. What is it for?
its not nessesary just use the grate it comes with and some paper for the bottom, its better for them. And this lady honestly doesnt know a lot about birds and what they need, the cage she bought is too small :/
I have the same cage but no divider
Hello. I love you bird and animal
I also brought the same cage
You should get them a budgie trapeze. I found them on Amazon and they’re made out of material the birds can chew on. My Budgies love theirs and look so cute when they curl up on it.
This cage is way to small
Your son is adorable haha
pillow looks diffrent
Want you buy a new Bird
Wow that cage is bad alien pxp and Ellie and birds say it bad for pillow
actually that cage is perfectly fine for one budgie 16x16x19 is a good amount, and plus they let them out for the whole day so its good, and didnt elle say that thats a good amount and its not ellie its elle
My bird just turned 1
i love your birbs😍
Isn't it for kids too
Yay good pillow looks happy
Thats a travel cage
My pigeon's favorite toy is that disco ball with a bell as well!

Still a small cage
Hi I like ur vids

Lol it's so cute when she did those baby voices to the little cute bird, I don't know why but I always find myself automatically talking to animals in a baby voice😂
you should get some natural shredding and foraging toys for enrichment!! Planet pleasures and BirdTricks have awesome toys!
Small cage
Nice :)
The Wee Man Talks So Cute He's Always Going To Remember How Cool His Mom And Dad Was When He Grows Up 👆
Thanks to tell me that if you buy a cage online you have to put it together yourself
Anne Elizabeth Rose - Yeah, at least Pillow's just snapped together. Pearl's required tools.
My quakers flight cage had to be assembled and her previous owners bought it from a local store
Is it?
Excellent, I live them ,visit me too dear ,I have a lot of how show ,taming goldfinch and cockatiels, 😊🐥🐦👍
It'svery smart of you guys to get a cage meant for two budgies, but then just take the divider off. I should've thought of that It saves you money.
