My budgies (Apollo, Zeus and Prometheus) love Cookie. This video inspired me to decorate their already lavish enclosure with tiny Holiday fair. Cookie is so cute!

Reminds me of our beloved Derek Budgie whom sadly left us December 2018 :) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) Great video :) ;) ;) ;) ;) BUDGIES are GREAT :) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;)
Merry Christmas! My budgies love hanging out with cookie via youtube! :D I think this guy deserves the millions of views more than similiar budgie vids!
My new little Jazz did not react well to other vids with more than one budgie, she had been living for a year with a family where she was completely ignored. The other vids were confusing and overstimulating her to a point she became exhausted and scared. She loves this one, stays calm, listens intently and even answers sometimes. Thanks :)
thank you so much for this!!! I feel like a horrible parakeet mom, my heart was broken because my two parakeets Ginger and Wasabi, died because I cleaned my oven (on self clean) but I forgot a pan in there that was an old teflon sheetpan)... I had all the windows open because the smoke alarm went off and after the smoke cleared the oven cycle was almost complete, and I left to the grocery store I came back to feed the dog and the cats, and my little sweet parakeets Ginger and Wasabi had died 💔 😢 my husband got me two new parakeets Ginger and Wasabi Jr, this is a lesson hard learned 💔 I'm playing this for the new ones just like I did my other budgie babies
BLONDAGO: So your husband is as selfish and cruel as you are? There is no such animal as a “cage bird.” All caged birds were either captured or bred in captivity. In the wild, these beautiful beings are never alone. If they become separated from their flockmates for even a moment, they call wildly to them. They preen each other, fly together, play, and share egg-incubation duties. Many bird species mate for life and share parenting tasks. The evidence of their close companionship and concern for one another is plain to see. Unfortunately for birds, the very qualities that we find admirable and fascinating about them-their brilliant colors, speech capabilities, intelligence, playfulness, and loyalty-have made them the third most popular type of animal companion in the U.S. It’s estimated that 40 million birds in the U.S. are kept caged and often improperly cared for-bored, lonely, and a long way from their natural homes. Many people buy birds on impulse and don’t have a clue how much time, money, and energy is needed to care for them on a daily basis. Birds are as messy and destructive as puppies-something irresponsible breeders and retailers often won’t explain to customers. And unlike puppies, birds continue this behavior for 15 to 75 years. Additionally, birds can be extremely loud and demanding and sometimes severely bite their caretakers. Because most customers aren’t prepared for an animal companion who is as curious, needy, and demanding as a 2-year-old child, countless birds spend their entire lives trapped inside a cage that’s too small in the corner of a living room, basement, or garage, unable to use or stretch their wings and deprived of the vital companionship of other birds. Like dogs on chains, caged birds crave freedom and companionship, not the cruel reality of forced solitary confinement for the rest of their very long lives. Driven mad from boredom and loneliness, caged birds often become aggressive, neurotic, and self-destructive. They pull out their own feathers, mutilate their skin, incessantly bob their heads and regurgitate, pace back and forth, peck over and over again at cage bars, and shake or even collapse from anxiety. Even if a previously caged bird comes into a home in which he or she is allowed a rich, active life, this behavior persists and is extremely difficult to extinguish. The Truth About Bird Suppliers Just as there are puppy mills, there are now enormous bird factories where breeders warehouse thousands of parrots and other exotic birds and remove their offspring in order to sell them to pet stores. These birds are frequently confined to dirty, dimly lit cages, where they are unable to fully stretch their wings. There is no federal legislation to protect birds in the pet trade, and successful prosecution of cruel or negligent bird breeders is unlikely under most state anti-cruelty laws. A parrot-breeding operation in Washington state-which a veterinarian described as a “concentration camp” and where, according to news sources, birds “lived in cold, wet, filthy conditions for years”-remains open and continues to raise birds for the pet trade. The same lack of caring has been reported at breeding facilities across the country. Disease Is Widespread Bird-breeding factories often breed communicable diseases, too, from proventricular dilatation disease (PDD)-the symptoms of which include depression, weight loss, and constant or intermittent regurgitation-to papillomavirus infection, salmonellosis, giardiasis, and psittacine beak and feather disease. Sick birds can give humans or other pet birds chlamydiosis (psittacosis), salmonellosis, E. coli infections, tuberculosis, giardiasis, and other illnesses associated with bacteria and fungi. Smuggling Is Common Wild-caught parrots are also prime commodities in the multibillion-dollar illegal wildlife trade. Hardly a week goes by without another story of a bird smuggler who was caught with parrots in the air vents of his or her car, of small parrots being smuggled in jacket pockets, or of any of hundreds of other usually deadly schemes to import these valuable birds illegally. While many smugglers are caught, most are not, so thousands of uninspected-and frequently sick and terrified-birds enter the companion bird trade each year. When the Novelty Wears Off When the birds who seemed so cute and lovable in pet stores turn out to be noisy, messy, and demanding of people’s attention, many are later abandoned, and few live out their natural life spans. About 85 percent of parrots are resold, given away, or abandoned within two years of being purchased. If they are ignored, they suffer in isolation and may become even noisier, more aggressive, or more despondent. Caged companion birds are typically not native to the areas where they reside. They cannot be released simply by opening a window and letting them fly away (which would be considered a crime of abandonment in most states). Without the proper climate, food sources, and habitat, escaped or released captive birds become prey for free-roaming cats and wildlife or are doomed to suffer lingering deaths because of exposure, starvation, or injuries. Responsible rescue groups, animal shelters, and sanctuaries can only place or care for a small percentage of these unwanted birds. To complicate matters further, some alleged “sanctuaries” are actually thinly disguised breeding colonies or hoarding situations in which birds are housed in extremely crowded conditions, receive minimal care and attention, and may even be sold back into the pet trade. If you or a friend have a lot of time and resources and remain determined to have a bird companion, please adopt a homeless one from a shelter or rescue group, but only after fully researching their dietary, behavioral, and other needs. You are in for a great deal of work! Buying birds from pet shops contributes to a horrible cycle of disease and abuse, so to appreciate birds without buying and caging them, consider creating your own backyard sanctuary.
Budgies don't SING. It's not a song bird. And it' doesn't belong in a cage sitting on a perch. They fly over 3 miles each day with their FLOCK when in the wild, and they share caring for their eggs. What gave you the idea that a wild bird belongs behind bars for YOUR entertainment. It's selfish and cruel of you to buy one and make a trapper weathier than he or she already is. Did you think the pet stores care about that? THEY are making money, too, and that's all they care about, which is why puppies come from puppy mills, and the Amish have a corner on that.
So sad...he is an only bird😢my birds love to preen and interact physically. Please get a buddy foy this sweet bird. My parakeets usually chatter back at utube parakeets chit chat...but they were silent for this video. They looked sad. Get a friend for this sweet bird❤
Not trying to be that person but this could be really bad for the birds physiological health but I’m not anyone to say anything, i don’t even have a bird yet
since budgies are VERY social it`s considered abuse to have just one alone, so desperate that he talks to himself :,( makes me very sad. no green fresh branches nothing green in general. just shitty plastic stuff and this poor, alone budgie. Im glad that in switzerland it`s forbidden to keep them alone.
Birds are better off dead than caged for your entertainment. Caging a bird is cruel and selfish. Build yourself a cage, and see how it makes you feel. And YOU can THINK and have no wings. You don't need a flock to miss.
Australian birds belong in Australia to fly freely with its FLOCK, find the foods it loves and to have a family. It wasn't born to be living in a cage for YOUR entertainment.

kinda cruel, THE bird thinks there is a bird in there, get HIM a friend, parakeets are not 1000.00$......and its not that they are DUMB, birds are in the top 5 smartest ANIMALs with brains so small that if YOURs was as small and even if enlarged to normalize FOR your size, THAT is múltiply it by the weight difference and a encephalization factor you would still be dead with nit ENOUGH neural tissue to operate your organs while in coma......and birds fly like machines not built yet. I must not be THE ONLY one to see this, THIS is a FUCKING bird video and you have 20 dislikes
Don't curse and say bad things about Alen. He takes good care of his parakeet, if not he wouldn't be as tame and healthy and happy as he is. Besides, they can't bond with you that well if there are two of them, but two is good though.
If people would stop buying wild birds, trappers would have to find another way to make a living other than trapping a bird meant to fly several miles each day (notice it has wings?), find the foods it loves, fly with its own FLOCK, and have a family. But you want to be entertained, so you took all that away from one of God's smallest creatures. CRUEL and SELFISH!

When you have a budgie, everyday is Christmas. Just thought I would put that out.
Unfortunately, every day isn't Christmas for your budgie. And Christmas has nothing to do with caging a bird for YOUR entertainment. It's cruel.

Christmas and Halloween! lol
My budgie is blind and he loves cookie and he starts to chirp like crazy
Ooooo. How sweet.
Wonderful Alen! I love it! It is very relaxing and Christmasy!!! Merry Christmas! But it is August. Sorry I missed this. :)

These birds are frequently confined to dirty, dimly lit cages, where they are unable to fully stretch their wings. There is no federal legislation to protect birds in the pet trade, and successful prosecution of cruel or negligent bird breeders is unlikely under most state anti-cruelty laws.
A parrot-breeding operation in Washington state-which a veterinarian described as a “concentration camp” and where, according to news sources, birds “lived in cold, wet, filthy conditions for years”-remains open and continues to raise birds for the pet trade. The same lack of caring has been reported at breeding facilities across the country.
Disease Is Widespread
Bird-breeding factories often breed communicable diseases, too, from proventricular dilatation disease (PDD)-the symptoms of which include depression, weight loss, and constant or intermittent regurgitation-to papillomavirus infection, salmonellosis, giardiasis, and psittacine beak and feather disease. Sick birds can give humans or other pet birds chlamydiosis (psittacosis), salmonellosis, E. coli infections, tuberculosis, giardiasis, and other illnesses associated with bacteria and fungi.
Smuggling Is Common
Wild-caught parrots are also prime commodities in the multibillion-dollar illegal wildlife trade. Hardly a week goes by without another story of a bird smuggler who was caught with parrots in the air vents of his or her car, of small parrots being smuggled in jacket pockets, or of any of hundreds of other usually deadly schemes to import these valuable birds illegally. While many smugglers are caught, most are not, so thousands of uninspected-and frequently sick and terrified-birds enter the companion bird trade each year.
When the Novelty Wears Off
When the birds who seemed so cute and lovable in pet stores turn out to be noisy, messy, and demanding of people’s attention, many are later abandoned, and few live out their natural life spans. About 85 percent of parrots are resold, given away, or abandoned within two years of being purchased. If they are ignored, they suffer in isolation and may become even noisier, more aggressive, or more despondent.
Caged companion birds are typically not native to the areas where they reside. They cannot be released simply by opening a window and letting them fly away (which would be considered a crime of abandonment in most states). Without the proper climate, food sources, and habitat, escaped or released captive birds become prey for free-roaming cats and wildlife or are doomed to suffer lingering deaths because of exposure, starvation, or injuries.
Responsible rescue groups, animal shelters, and sanctuaries can only place or care for a small percentage of these unwanted birds. To complicate matters further, some alleged “sanctuaries” are actually thinly disguised breeding colonies or hoarding situations in which birds are housed in extremely crowded conditions, receive minimal care and attention, and may even be sold back into the pet trade.
If you or a friend have a lot of time and resources and remain determined to have a bird companion, please adopt a homeless one from a shelter or rescue group, but only after fully researching their dietary, behavioral, and other needs. You are in for a great deal of work!
Buying birds from pet shops contributes to a horrible cycle of disease and abuse, so to appreciate birds without buying and caging them, consider creating your own backyard sanctuary.
Droddd
kinda cruel, THE bird thinks there is a bird in there, get HIM a friend, parakeets are not 1000.00$......and its not that they are DUMB, birds are in the top 5 smartest ANIMALs with brains so small that if YOURs was as small and even if enlarged to normalize FOR your size, THAT is múltiply it by the weight difference and a encephalization factor you would still be dead with nit ENOUGH neural tissue to operate your organs while in coma......and birds fly like machines not built yet. I must not be THE ONLY one to see this, THIS is a FUCKING bird video and you have 20 dislikes
Don't curse and say bad things about Alen. He takes good care of his parakeet, if not he wouldn't be as tame and healthy and happy as he is. Besides, they can't bond with you that well if there are two of them, but two is good though.
If people would stop buying wild birds, trappers would have to find another way to make a living other than trapping a bird meant to fly several miles each day (notice it has wings?), find the foods it loves, fly with its own FLOCK, and have a family. But you want to be entertained, so you took all that away from one of God's smallest creatures. CRUEL and SELFISH!
Awwwww
