10 Common Mistakes Bird Owners Make
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 11 ก.ค. 2024
- Hello Buddies,
Although pet birds are gaining popularity, and owners are becoming more and more aware of what you should and what you should not do with birds, there are still plenty of owners that are making silly mistakes.
I'm really not going to waste your time with obvious things, that are pretty much common sense, like the fact that your bird should have a big cage or a healthy diet.
So this one is definitely worth the watch ;)

Never say, you know everything about your bird. There's always a new perspective or input of things you never thought of. Great video, thanks
Agree 🙏
You are right!!!!
Yes we agree
You are right
i want bird i have wanted a bird since i was 5 years old
My budgie sadly died today and I have to thank you for helping me take the best care for it it lives for a long time because of you, thank you for making this videos
That's so sad 😥
How long dod you have it for?
I'm sorry for your loss Hugs 🫂
This Tap Water depends on the quality of water in your region. In Germany it is ok to either drink tap water or give it to your birds (as far as I know)
You're very right!
Germany is known for having one of the best tap water in the world, but unfortunately it's like that for most countries.
@@Bird-Nuggets same thing in sweden, we also have clean tap water
Japan to
But India we don’t
Singapore too
So true about what you said that when a dog vomit there is no need to take it to the vet because it's probably something he ate and it's also common in dogs
but when a bird vomit it means something very wrong with it
Super helpful and I actually learned some new things! your videos never disappoint 😚
I have this problem where my mother takes the health of my birds lightly, when i still had my cockatiel i was seeing signs of sickness with him, and i told her several times to take him to the vet and she insisted everything's fine with him, and now he's dead. kinda scared that the same situation will happen again but with one of my budgies.
Woah, is she apathetic to animals? That's so toxic of her when you're trying to keep them alive after adopting them in the first place. She's like one of those horrible, careless doctors.
Un clásico. Jpg, te recomendaría ahorrar tanto como puedas para que tu mismo los lleves al veterinario cuando creas necesario
También intenta hablar y explicarle cómo funcionan las aves (esto depende de como sea su actitud porque hay quienes lo toman como un reto y no admiten sus errores)
sad
I love how short and simple your videos are
Nice well producer video with good info!! Thanks 😉
Good info! Thank you!
This really helped me. Thank you salvador budgie
Yep. Just because Budgies small it doesn't mean they are easy pets to keep
thanks for all the information it helped me learn new things 😀
They are actually easy pets for alot of people if you have lots of patience and free time. Pretty much it always depends on your bird and yourself.
don’t grab your bird but one of them got used to it…… oh man I’m doing all things bad :C
dont worry you can tell your mom to make the rules
It’s alright, you can always just stop.
2:38 Dude, the dog just vomited on the cat!. 😂
This was great to know. There were a couple things that made me think, “yeah, I should stop doing that, or change it up a bit.”
Thank you so much for information.
I always watch ur vids and my birds are soo happy and healthy! THANKS SALVADOR BUDGIE!
Very practical!😊🐦
You can use humidifier or diffuser even with essential oil as long as it’s non perfumed. They helpful on hot weather and keeps the birds cool. Also, I think it takes a bit harder during taming if you let your birds out on their cage. Only let them out when theyre at least settled in.
Awwww tysm! This helped me a lot! 😘💕🌈
Thanks for the tips😊
Thx so much for teaching me!
Great vid too! 😄
Wonderful informative video!🥰🥰🥰 I always enjoy learning more from you! Thank you for sharing!⚘⚘⚘
One of the best tips that I like to share is that birds need to think that everything is their own idea (kind of like me!). I had to find ways to coax my lovebird to return to his cage. I put my cell phone or iPad in there with lovebird sounds and also some treats. He’s learning!
Great video great information
This video will be helpful for me. Thank you.😊 😊
Woah you know everything about a birds!Ty for tips on what not to do to your budgie 🤗💖
TYSM! This helped! Your budgies are super cute. :)
Merry Christmas Salvador budgie!
I‘m really happy I found this channel. I am going to get birds (a bit bigger than budgies) and I thought I knew a lot but thanks to this I can avoid even more mistakes :)
For example I would have definitely pat them on their backs ang give them tap water…
buy like ringnecks or sonrhing or a cocktaik
Very useful information 🐦
Thanks for the help
Me:
no way I'm making any mistakes
Also me:
OH CRAP I use oil defusers all the time x_x
People claiming oil defusers are safe in... 3..2...1
Yes
@@juliatony9326
There are only few essential oils that are safe for birds but they must be 100% pure and all of that
But most oils defusers come with comical and cheap essential oils that are fake so better not to use defusers near our birds and I would say that even with pure essential oils it's quite a risk
@@itsTiffany12 purity has nothing to do with toxicity to birds.
"your bird is locked up" my bird sitting on my shoulder watching this connected to the tv:
And my one budgie would stay in his cage for the rest of his life if he was allowed ... Unless I entice him with some snacks he might hop out once a month.
I'm super thankful for these videos, I never would've known that my bird hates being grabbed. Thx for letting me know
Thank you very much
This helped me alot
this guy is my favor he help me to maintain my pets keep i up!
That's so true and all bird owners should know these! By the way, which plant is that beside their cage?
This helps a lot
my friend sending me this video while im doing some of these things
me: well crap, good thing my friend has my back
#4 - I try no to, but my blue fronted amazon parrot can almost tear a piece of my arm when I try to pick him up
Except that one I do the opposite of everything on the list, me and my wife read a lot about owning birds before getting them. Excellent video, people need to know how fragile birds are :c
Thanks for tilling me sooo much
I loveur vides salvador
thank u so much! i had no idea that air defusers could be bad for my budgies. taking it out right now 👍
Ok Thanks for letting me know!
Me : No way i am making any mistakes
Me after watching the video: I am giving reactions when my bird bites and giving tap water
" i am not doing it again "
Bro I am doing the same thing
@@TheRealGamer727 then stop doing it ,in this video they showed it is harmful to do those things
@@daisy_6349_xoxo ik
Same sis 😫
@@popinderseth9707 ok
thank you so much Salvador budgie! I always try to pet my budgie on its back but its not letting me so now I realized why its not letting me.
Im planning to get a bird and you videos help me so much תודה רבה
Yeah, I definitely keep giving my birbs tapwater. Kind regards from the Netherlands 😁
Cuteness overloaded. They are so cute.♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🥰🥰🥰🥰🤗🤗🤗

1.
You sound like Kermit

Thank you for all the tips. Aside from me making lore out of my 1st YT channel, I'm preparing for a budgie to start my Bird Owner journey. Technically I've started already, since when I was 8 my family temporarily owned a Cockatoo, whom we named "Cookie".
My budgie passed yesterday, I’ve been very sad today but I managed to go to school
Edit: I realised I made most of the mistakes with him and now he’s passed, I feel guilt now
My sympathy to you. I killed my first four budgies using a new Teflon pan to grill a steak. Each one died in my hands. I will never forget them.
@@wessew6185 thank you, my sympathy back to you, and just remember that your still a good person because that wasn’t your fault, stay healthy, and live a good life :)
And tysm you us a lot
Tap water is fine (assuming you live in a place where it's drinkable of course). Bottled water is mostly just bottled tap water with extra micro plastics.
Do tap waters in california have any danger? the water here is pretty clean
I never did this to my budgie. He’s a very happy bird and i am the best owner :] thank you for this
(I already have learned this from 2017)
Thank for leting me now
When these type of parrots were happy they sing ...... But if they make a angry sound then my ears got dead 😂
Tell me about that
@@sofaking125 when they happy they sing or dance but when they make angry sound and u stand there only with ur budgies your ears may got dead
you said that grabbing was a no no thing to do but what am i going to do when im taking him to vet. He has a large cage and i cant carry that to vet in order to take him to vet i must put him in a box but to do that i must grab him and put him in a box or carrying bag. What should i do if i MUST grab him?
does greece have good tap water? and i once opened the cage and got 1 budgie out, but she actually hit herself and idk if i should get them out again!
In regards to not picking up your birds; I don't know if it's just a budgie thing, but my lovebirds eventually grew enough trust/bond with me that I could pick them up/handle them without causing them any stress or concern. My first lovebird even was able to perform tricks like rolling onto it's back.
It might depend on the trust (and species) of the bird, but gently holding/handing your bird I think is alright if you've built that trust with them.
What about the two water in australia and if not do I give them bottle water?
Hey i wanna ask that can i give underground water ?( in India we have pump underground water for use.?
what about rubbing their belly? Is it ok or does it stimulate the same as rubbing backs? had ours about 6 weeks now. so far they are doing great. we watched many vids so avoided a lot of mistakes but still made some. we adjust as we learn more but can fond an answer on belly rubs. ✌❤
they don't really seem to like belly rubs and usually are mistaken for stepping on your finger
Hi I am a very big fan of you can you tell is it okay for my grey cockatiel to be in a black cage pls someone tell pls
Im seeing you from argentina
Hey, i have these perches that are wooden, but they are not like branches, more like a long dowel. is this okay?
Tap water - not clear, bottled water - microplastics + plastic waste, boiled water - no minerals... 😞 What about tap water + under-sink filter? And leave it in a glass bottle overnight? 🤔
If budgies cant have tap water then what water can they have?
btw my birds like to chew on stuff so they always bite and try to eat my hand
@Aoife Riley bottled water is super bad
@Aoife Riley ok
can you link some budgie toys that are OK for birds, i also was mistreating my bird by grabbing it and leaving as much food as they want. Any tips for that?
Hi, food should **always** be available in their cage.
For toys you can go to the "about" section in my channel and click "shop amazon favorites"
can the scented candles be in room which is on a lower floor or not because my parents have dogs and they smell bad so my parents light candles.
I'm guilty of so many of these things...
I didn’t know the bite thing ! Which is good that I don’t react haha they are birds and they will bite no matter what, usually not hard but, sometimes they could
i saw this after a video of you talking about not letting them out while not tamed, and now im confused because my birds are not tamed yet.
I’ve had my bird for awhile now, (about a month or two) and he doesn’t go on my finger so I don’t let him out of his cage, is this wrong? Also I’ve tried giving him the Milliet stuff. Do I just put my finger in there everyday or should I have or do something else?
u should try putting ur finger in the cage and u should put ur finger at least for a week or until it stops to run away from ur finger and then u should hand feed them for a week and then start introducing step up (stepping up on ur finger). Oh and btw I AM NOT a bird expert in fact I got my pair of budgies in about 3 weeks or so and I heard this from salvador budgie himself so u can trust this.
I notice some signs of sicknesses on my budgies but I'm never sure if they're actually sick or no, I keep saying they might be sick, and after a minute I say they probably aren't sick, and there are barely any vets in our country, so I can't do anything about it, and I use plastic perches because I don't find any normal ones and if theres 1 or 2 (Which I barely have found any) they're most likely to be expensive, can you tell me a site or any link where I can buy normal perches on the internet? Or maybe where I can find online vets?
I really would appreciate a reply from you.
And I can't forget to mention you helping me and others find useful information and tips, and lastly, thank you.
And remember never thank for these mere things, more than thanking me observe your budgie take care of it, If u did it I will be thankful on my own. I will think i saved your budgies life😊😊
And really observe it closely very closely as budgies easily dont show there ilness. Please carefully.
I've done everything, but all of them don't like having contact with me. I have 11 budgies, of which 7 were born at home, so since they opened their eyes I have always had physical contact with them, but this was not enough. They do not allow themselves to be touched and seldom climb on the hand if I do not have food. I am very frustrated, I would like to have more from them. These home-born are 7-8 months old. Is there anything I can do?
You forgot about seeds literally everywhere you look every pet store sells seeds which are high in fat and low in nutrition which can lead to fatty liver disease the UK doesn't have many pallet brands so they're pretty expensive
You are right about seeds not being very healthy for birds but with that said, a bird's diet should consist of vegetables pellets and seeds too.
Yo aprendí eso a la mala :c
Yeah but seeds, veggies, fruit and nuts are important to their diet. Anything else is should be given In moderation since some of the foods contain fat and salt
In singapore where i live, tap water is clean and drinkable for humans, and my birds have no problem with it too, have been drinking it for years and they are healthy and well
I just got a budgie i want to let it have some free time outside its cage, but I'm sure if i let it out it won't come and I'll have to chase it around and grab it, i need to make it trust me please help I've done everything you stated in your videos
I was wondering about that tap water. Should I give him bottled water or distilled water instead?
well budgie locked up in cage i am trying to tame and bond my budgie it is still 10 but idk how to get them out cuz they can get to the garden door easily cuz door's downside can easily for them to escape but i am trying my best to research for new cage and get 2 in seperate cage for taming
Okay I'm a bit late to this video but I have an important question; So if we can't pet/stroke their backs, what about their front? I have parakeets that I sometimes pet from the front, is that kind of the same vibe as their back?
Hello,I have two budgies and they are Both very nervous.I don’t know how to train them! They run away when I try to give them treats and won’t hop on my finger,what should I do?
But my cockatiel potato and my two budgies sparky and gregory arent trained yet becaus3 i have no millet spray so can you teach how to train my parrots because i cant let them out with no training
thank you for the tips ( you kinda sound like kermit the frog and to me that's a complement )
❤️❤️❤️
Hello I'm a new budgie owner and I need help on one thing: Is it good to have a mirror inside budgie cage? My budgie is stuck to the mirror all day, trying to kiss and beak it and acts very aggressive towards me whenever I move close, but he is very calm when there is no mirror. Some say they feel lonely and mirror helps because they think there is another bird with them and some say get rid of the mirror if you want your bird to get used to you. What should I do?
Is it okay if i play Whack-a-mole with my african lovebird?
(aka shooting my small finger inside the cage and when it bites me i move my finger onto another slot)
is there a way i can get my bird used to my room i let him out of the cage but he ended up bumping into walls how can i take him out and avoid that?
hey Salvador, I have 1 budgie (blue male) and he is very timid, he hates being out of his cage, and doesn't, like to try new foods, (he only eats birdseed) he used to be perfectly fine, out of his cage constantly but one day a visitor started hitting him with a stick, I was wondering if you have any tips on how I can stop him from being so scared? we were thinking of getting him a friend so he would be happier, would that help? if so what size cage do you recommend I get? (we are out most of the day) thanks
Do you really only feed him birdseed? I heard birdseed should only be fed sparingly. Its better to give him fruits and vegetables instead
@@eagletgriff I tried everything even taking out his bird seed but he won’t eat anything else
@@bimbirobotics1050 That's common with birds on a seed diet. They like the seed so much as it is like junkfood to them so they'd rather eat it than healthy pellets and vegetables everyday. But, with some persistence and persuading, you can get them to change their diet to a better one that includes pellets everyday (Tops is a great brand of pellet), chop every day (a mixture of birdsafe vegetables, grains, nuts and some fruits, and herbs-bird safe herbs- can be added too), and seed as a treat food or for training. As for a cage, a flight cage is the best way to go for a budgie as they have lots of energy and need the space to play around whilst you are not interacting with them outside of the cage.
Natural perches can be hard to find in pet stores, and are quite expensive to get online, but you can also get branches from the wild from bird safe trees (that aren't sprayed with pesticides or other harmful substances for birds) and disinfect them via oven baking (200 degrees Celsius for around an hour), sun baking (which takes a couple to a few weeks I believe) or, my favourite, apple cider vinegar dissolved in warm water to scrub the perch and then let sun-dry (which, if on a hot day, doesn't take long at all). Only thing about the apple cider vinegar method is you have to make sure it is completely dry before use.
As for the visitor who hit the bird with a stick, I hope they got a good telling off. The bird might take a while to recover from such an event, but just be slow and encouraging with him and eventually he might get over it. But make sure not to rush him either, and if the visitor comes over again make sure to inform them firmly to either not touch your bird or become aware of the budgie's fragileness and show some respect for your animal. This is your bird, you are responsible for making sure other people do not do anything bad to him, and it can be unavoidable at times but I hope nothing like that happens.
Sorry for the long paragraph lol, the care of birds is a little hard to explain in a few short sentences for me. I hope you have a good day!
Small edit: Also never force the bird to change from a seed diet to a pelleted and chop diet, it can lead to the bird starving itself as it is not aware that the pellets and vegetable mix is food. Take it slowly and add it to the bird's diet bit by bit. Monitor your bird's eating. Does he seem to still only eat the seed? Has he shown any interest in the pellets/chop? If not, don't worry. It could take a while. Good luck!
@@tilapia8863 thanks soooo much, I will be sure to use these tips on my budgie. for the visitor unfortunately he didn't get in trouble and the parents were even rude to us, he is older now and still like that but he tried it again (hitting and kicking the cage) but I gave him a stern beating before he did could (he is now 14) unfortunately the parents tried to call the police but luckily he got in trouble instead for animal cruelty.
@@bimbirobotics1050 I'm glad I could help, and oof sorry about the visitor. Some people just aren't as caring towards animals as we all are, I can't believe that a 14 year old would still act that way to another person's animal. I hope you can find something to do about it, if you can do anything at all
Okay thank you for the inmartiezion bit I have something my birds are not playing bigmoz and sie it his nat rally oll his playtoy
hey salvador
Im not a very great bird owner i use to own 2 budgies (Both male long time ago my neighbor left it in the scorching parking lot so we kept it
We dint let it out, we kept it in the balcony, one day my mom was cleaning the cage and the door suddenly opened, both the birds flew, the thin budgie flew away. but our fat budgie was hiding behind the plants, but we caught it later so 1 silver lining
So my mom and dad bought two new ones but now there was a bigger problem, they both were female (oof)
They started pecking around a lot, and later, they escaped trough the stupid walls, once again the green fat bird didnt escape
Then the story of a lifetime happend, We got 1 blue female bird and we kept the cage in the house and let it open everyday, only some days we wouldnt because of vacuming, drying the clothes ect, we trained it to get on our hand, It was close to a step up, The blue bird was great
and they both started mating, but one day, our green bird DIED, We found out it died from old age, and it always had a twisted leg, it was super slow, but could walk properly and fly
THEN we got another green male cause the blue one seemed depressed and im pretty sure it thinks we killed it, it wont come any where near us, When we got the green bird, it was the worst decision in my life, They started pecking each other LIKE HECK, blue bird got blood on beak and tail became super short, And green bird was helping the bird everyday to escape but if they escape this time dont worry they are in the hall or living room, the green one sucks its a bad influence and a bad friend, and if i open their cage they always go on top of my curtains and wont come back for 3 to 4 days and sometimes because of that chores are left undone
Please help me out salvador
Great story..u keep Melody songs to make them calm.buy one small cage to bring them back.to big cage.seperatr them for two days.u can increase anxiety between them to love.in mean time try to tame..in separate rooms..if one got tamed green one slow ly comes
What kind of toys have lead because my bird took a plastic bell toy and treats it like a bird so now I can’t take it. Away also she loves bells so how do I know if it has lead
what should we give instead of tap water?
Woww
hello, i have a rainbow bird, what would you recommend other than albino and rainbow as a wife?
I use natural perches is that okay for my bird?
Imagine being grabbed by a giant troll 😂
So im from Germany just as a Side note and...
I always give my birds Tap water , i have never given them something else and if i cant give them Tal water what can i give them then ?? We have Birdwater that they sell in the stores and i beard its really bad so what shall i do ?
You can maybe boil the tap water to eliminate the bacteria.
