I love budgies! You have to ask yourself, "do I love their chirp?" Yes I do, and I love hearing it all day long!
Jingle so naughty❤❤❤
I have 2 hand tamed zebra finches
XmenMagnetoAcolytes he is actually right though
Jingles wants to be in the film business😂
I love your channel it always helps me find tricks to show my budgies I’ve taught them to shake my hand, perch on my finger and a few other tricks. I also love the amount of attention and care you give to your birds
I want to live in your bird room
I saw you on James channel Adrian.
I owned 18 parakeets, 1 cockatiel, 3 canaries, and 4 dogs. And by far my canaries eat more then everyone! Lol I am amazed how much they eat they are like a never filling blackhole, so I completely understand when you say your canaries eat alot as well.
I love when they fly out of the cage😍
I have had budgies all my life but would like a bourke parakeet once I move to Portland Oregon from the UK in the future.
Thanks for sharing this video😊 I love your answer :) because so many people buy birds without doing research and the birds end up being neglected☹️ stay safe!!💕
Mingi luvsbudgies you’re right! That’s why I hate seeing macaws, African greys and other parrots sold in pet stores! People don’t do their research about the birds and the pet stores will sell them to anyone.
Oh I agree, it takes money, love, training, and on and on, the biggest thing is, you have to have time for them and alot of it, quality time out of the cage, oh and keep up with the cleaning, everyday, in my opinion!♥️♥️stay safe in these horrible covid-19 times.
Loving these more regular uploads!
Very good Birds Beautiful
Excellent answers 👌😊 my budgies are chattering back to your birds 😄💖
i think society/bengalese finches make great pets, they can get quite tame, they are very active and fun to watch. Also they don't need a giant amount of space to be happy, just a lot of climbing opportunities and a fresh bath every day (they loooove bathing). Also they chirp and sing but not very loud
Love this channel. Your birds a gorgeous
I love love love your channel!
Thank you so much for this video!
This is my favorite channel, so much inspiration for my flock and I 🙂🐣💛
So many birds!!! Insane!!! Amazing to see!
Loved this video❣❤👍
Your video brought out many points about each bird, which can help people decide which bird out of the three that could be best suited for them! It was also good that you stressed that we also need to consider that our birds require the proper cages etc. Birds are not toys that can just be stuck in the corner of a room if one tires of them! It’s best not to buy one on a whim, but give it thought! Thanks Donna.😉
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hi Donna! I hope you and all your family are keeping well at this crazy time. It was lovely to hear a bit of the lovely canary song in today's video 🥰🎶🎵🎶
My male cockatiel is mainly pretty quiet but he does have a few 10 minute sessions of loud singing or whistling a day, and if he's unhappy about something, he can do an ear piercing scream! He does not like to be separated from his favourite budgie lady friend for even a moment!
You are so right that there is no one size fits all answer to what bird to choose, just research, research and more research! Then when you think you've chosen, I would say think a bit longer and make sure!
It's so easy to impulse buy, especially the smaller birds, but they make such rewarding and entertaining companions if you out the 💓 into them, as you know!
Great video, I love your birds
Also I have a question how do you put your budgies back in there cage
Awesome video as usual and so are your pets
I love all your birds
Beauty Cockatiels
I'd love to see another 30 minute bird video!
Such an informative and important video. I’m thinking of adopting a bird and I haven’t considered all the points you raise. Thanks so much for the benefit of your experience!
When I was looking for a bird I did my research and chose a cockatiel. Years later after tons of research I bought a Black Head Caique and he is perfect for me
11.32 I played pink panther music in my head watching the green one with the red head walk along the top of the cages 😂 I like bengalese or gouldian finches, nice and quiet and small for my tiny lounge.
Cockatiels are my fave!
Hand Fitting good Companion Birds
All birds have different personalities, just like humans. I find that when I respect my bird and his limits instead of pushing him to play or cuddle, he loves me and wants to be closer to me more often.
Also haven’t been so early before!❤️
Sky is always the first to go out 😁
He sure is. Sometimes it's a race between Sky and Jack 😂
Love of Pets 😅😅
I love your videos, greetings from my budgies, bourkis and scarlet chested parakeets
Glad you enjoy my videos. You have a nice flock of birds
@@Loveofpets Thank you
We love ur videos, also my hycainth macaw and my African grey also likes them.
I like your bird
I love watching your videos thank you for sharing them with us! I was wondering where you get the plastic to go on top of the cages, Can you share a website or link with me to purchase those?
Thanks so much for the video! This is completely off-topic, but do you mind if I ask what cages you have in the background? I have a lovely cage but it's been discontinued and the ones behind you look almost identical. Thank you so much for going over the characteristics of each bird! I have budgies and cockatiels, but never had a Bourke. They interest me though! I also liked the little java(?) finch in the background!
Hi they are HQ Flight Cages
If you can handle hand feeding a weaning parrot, they will bond to you so easily. I got two cockatiels when they were about a month old and they were totally cuddly and curious and friendly even jumping on strangers. Now I have a Lovebird but I got him when he was a bit more than 3 months old and used to live with other parrots and is scared of hands and even treats. I cannot do much but t be patient and hope he becomes friendly. There have been some good progress but nothing more recently
Totally agree . I have ALL rescues here . Free lol sure but vet care and big flight cage are expensive. But worth it . 4 cocktiels society finches and zebra finches in my avariy. Zebra are so territorial. Any thing I can do to stop the chasing and fighting . They upset my tiels since they are in an avariy together
omg the moment everyone comes out 😭😭😭😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇
I have a short experience of owning a lovebird. I got Jojo when she was like 2 months and had her for about 5 months. I even got her DNA tested for gender. But I decided to rehome her because during the day I was away and in the evening she would go to sleep quite early, so we really didn’t spend so much time together. And getting her another bird was not an option for me. But I miss her and wonder how she is doing and how she would have been with me.
i have got 3 budgies 2 canaries and 1 grass parrot but would love to have one or two big catches just like yours. so beautiful and amazing birds. hello from melbourne
Hello from Ontario, Canada. Hope you enjoy my channel 😀
@@Loveofpets this is a good channel. Thanks for sharing alot of good stuff about birds. Stay safe
😍
My favorite bird is turguoisine parakeets
Noisy as bird 😂😂
Yeayy another video😍Your voice sounds different, do you have a sore throat? Get well soon🙏
Hi, yes my throat was a bit sore and I had a bit of larynatitis. I was a bit worried that I have the virus but seem okay today. Thanks for asking
I’ve never owned a bird. I always wanted a pet bird as a kid, probably a cockatiel - but we had two cats and my mum was weirdly afraid of birds.
Now that I’m an adult, I still want a bird, but I’m married to someone who is very allergic to dust and pollen. I’ve leaned about cockatiel dust. So cockatiels are probably not the right one for that situation. So I’m leaning towards a male lovebird. Possibly two male lovebird. I’ve learned male lovebirds are friendlier than females, and they aren’t dusty. And no need to worry about egg laying with males.
Love your videos. Every time I think I decide on which bird I want to get something else makes me change to the other one. I’ve been debating over Budgies or Cockatiels for over two years and I still can’t make up my mind! I wish I knew someone who owned them to go visit them in person. I don’t feel ready to have both but wish I could decide 😐 I made a list of my perfect bird and unfortunately half of it was Budgie and half was cockatiel LOL
Really just think about what kind of bird it is that you want.
Both of them get grouped into the same category of "Starter Bird" but they're more than that.
i think it also has to do with personality i think budgies tend to be a little less social than cockatiels, but really if they could be both for you maybe you should go off looks budgies come in a lot of colors and cockatiels less so which one do you like the look of better
Thank you Donna. This is good for beginners.
I really would like to talk with you about Turquoiseine babies. Id like one and I have experienced the raising of cockatiels and of a baby Moluccan Cockatoo who turned out beautifully.
My local Portland Oregon bird speciaist will not give me leads and I know you have experienced with Turquoiseine.
Im also wondering about how to get a Mustache Parakeet
Turquoisines are rare and especially hand raised ones. Search online in your area for breeders or rescues.
Moustache Parakeets are rare where I am also, it took me many years to find one.
Hi 👋 DONNA I just love all your videos.I agreee with everything you said. A long while ago I did have a flock of 10 birds all sweethearts which I loved more than anyone could imagine.Something happened regarding a home I owned and had to leave and I was supposed to be separated from them for a few months. One by one they passed away with the people that I entrusted them with for all different reasons but none were sick except my Congo African Grey Sugar Girl, she was a rescue from a horrid situation and was heavily bonded to me and she died the first night she was away from me.She would try to put her food in my ear and court me with her wings in position and make little grunting sounds, in short , she was crazy about me and me her. Sugar died of a massive heart attack from not being with me . I do not think I have to tell you Donna how I felt afterwards.A female Timneh I had was smothered by one of the people taking care of my birds.He was upset that night a took Timneh Baby Doll to bed with him fell asleep and rolled over on her.One of my birds got out and was gone. The other birds died when they had a power outage. I had a dove , sweet cockatiels, a Quaker parrot, and a darling little love bird I called pockets because she would try to cuddle in my pocket all the time.I never speak about my horror of 13 yrs ago except with a therapist and I really one . I was diagnoised with PTSD because of it.I still go to her today believe it or not she loves parrots and I just got her a rescued parrot I was offered but declined because I si ply do not have the resources , space or time to give to two parrots as much as I wanted that new parrot.That would be selfish on my part.So this parrot is in a lovely home with my therapist and her family! Like you say resources are extremely important. I just have enough for my 1 bird , my Timneh Stormy Boy I also have veterinary exotic pet insurence. I just love your videos and they are right on the mark.I also love all the names you give to birds in your flock.They are unique and awesome and sweet. Thank you soo much for sharing and I hope you and your whole family human and pets are okay!
So sorry to hear about your losses with your birds. That must of been traumatic for you.
Give Stormy all the love that you can.
Stay safe
As always, your birds look great. My question is: as the daylight hours are increasing with the spring season now, should my budgies be staying up later. During the fall & winter seasons where it gets dark as early as 5 pm, I would cover their cages at 5 pm and uncover them at 7 am. By June, it won't get dark until ~ 8:30, maybe 9 pm, so do I wait to cover their cages then?
Hi, it's best to put them to bed earlier especially if you have females as they get hormonal and want to breed and lay eggs. If you only have males they can stay up longer.
Hi Donna, you are so right people , if they haven't had a parrot before really need to have enough income , especially for the medium size birds, and it is a must to be hands on training with your bird, now Jake is a green cheek but he wants to train and when he was really young he waß very nippy, that faze has passed and now he is still only 1 years 7 months old, they always print that they are not verycgood talkers, not Jake , he speaks in sentences and talks in phrases pretty much all day long! So each bird is an individual personality, he can get quite loud when he is chirping, another myth about gcc's. He is not quiet at all, but I find it amusing! Lol He knows alot of things/tricks on cue, stil can't get him to wave and isn't that the simplest one? I need another method can you help me out? I find it odd that he catches on so fast to anything, except that, I must be doing it wrong ( teaching him that?) Well love you and again your voice is so calming, that must be great for your flock!👍👍🤣🤣♥️stay safe
Hi, Jake sounds like a cutie. I do have a video on teaching to wave on my channel.

Hey Love of Pets, I hope your okay today. Maybe you remember me from your past video. But I just wanted to ask you if you can give me some advice on a bird. Thanks, I really enjoy your videos. Keep making them. If you can give me a shout out in your next video. I subscribed and clicked the bell.
Hi! would you please do a video all about turquoisine parakeet as pets, i really want one as my first bird but there is not much information online about how to care for one. i could use some tips as it would be my first bird ever. Thanks!!
I will do my best.
Thank you so much! :)
Hi dona, I have a video idea/ question. How did you train your wild birds to get inside there cages?, And this is my question Do you think its ok if canaries, Zebra finches, And lovebirds to be outside together? Thank you so much for your time looking at this comment :D
I am looking to get a bird. i have lots of experience with many animals and i live on a farm but the bird would be in my room, i go to school so i am busy sometimes. I would like my bird to be fun but not loud and i would like a more relaxed bird. I would definetly love a talking bird but i just cant afford one. Hope you can get back to me!
I'm sooooo torn between a lovebird and a lineolated parakeet. But I think my first bird will be a linnie, they're so calm and cute. I know your linnies are older, do you notice any significant behavioral changes compared when they were young(1-3 years old) and now?
The older my linnies got the calmer they are. They are very nice birds.
Love birds are very cuddly, but I think both will lose tameness in a very short time, you have to have daily interaction for 30 minutes or more.
Hi there! Great video. I was just wondering how easy would be to tame a lovebird that was from a pet store and not hand reared. Is it even possible to tame Them? Let me know thanks 😁
Hi, its definitely possible with patience, time and positive reinforcement. Some birds can be become quiet tame while others will enjoy your company. Target training is a great way to start.
Does ur lovebird ever bully ur budgies or tiels? Thankyouverymuch from l.a ca do you think you could live in ur bird room for 48 hours ? I only say that 4 budgies and 2 cockatiels in my room. Their amazing.
I have two budgies and I've been wanting a cockatiel for a few years now- I want one so badly!! and I've always been curious about bourkes as pets but theres limited information on them as pets and they're nowhere near as common as budgies or cockatiels!
Hi, here is my video on Bourke's that may help you th-cam.com/video/Tc9EhbhEDHc/w-d-xo.html
@@Loveofpets thanks!!
Hi
Hello, I have a small question about my lineolated parakeet. Is it normal if they feed for other grown birds? My budgie is fully grown, and is fully capable of getting food for herself. But he always feeds her whenever he wants to.
Hi, yes that's normal. Usually they do that when they really like the other bird.
Love of Pets thank you for letting me know 😊
That's a sign of real friendship😊
I have a question I hope you respond back, how do you make your lovebird not bite you . For example, when I handfeed them they think my finger is food or something but they are eating the food it's weird but please respond me back or make a video about it thank you :)
Hi! When would be the right time to let a bird you just got out of the cage for the first time?
Hi, it depends on the species and how it was raised. If the bird is scared and not tame then you should wait a day or two until it's used to it's new surroundings. If the bird is tame and we'll socialized then the bird can come out on the same day.
I have a Bourke's and he is really hard to get back into his cage again. How do you do it with all of them!!!! Can you give me some tips on how to get him back into his cage?
Hi, I made this video a while ago that may help you th-cam.com/video/sENmEcL3S-Y/w-d-xo.html
@@Loveofpets thank you!!!!!
How do you keep your bird room clean?
I may make a video on how I keep it clean soon
My daughter has a budgie and just got a baby parrotlet for a friend and is so scared now about all the neg things she’s read about them being in the same cage she’s upset she didnt research better what do you suggest the family is very interactive with their bird I’ve watched lots of videos on both as pets and they have had no problems please help!!
Hi, the Parrotlet definitely needs its own cage. They can come out together under supervision to make sure they are not aggressive with each other.
If they are in the same cage then can kill each other especially when an adult an hormones kick in so yes two cages are needed.
Another thing to watch for is the Parrotlets are known to bite toes of birds that land on their cage and can bite off toes so you have to watch while the birds are out. Since the Parrotlet is a baby he may be nice and non aggressive at this time but once an adult he can be very hormonal. Some people have had success to put both together but you never know that one day one can harm each other so it's best to be safe and have two cages
What kind of cockatiel is the black and white one, it is so beautiful 😍
Hi, he is a Whiteface charcoal Cockatiel
How can I ensure my budgies get enough vitamin d?
Hey,I'm confused between a peachfaced lovebird and grey cockateil.. can you tell which one should I get. I want a bird that is super friendly and less noisy bird but cuteness matters a lot.. plss
Both are handfed😃
Hi, it's hard for me to choose for you as I love them both and I don't know your living situation. Birds are individuals, some may want to be handled more than others.
Research both birds and make a list of pros and cons for each bird and go from there. Here is my species spotlight videos that can help you decide. Birds as Pets Species Spotlight: th-cam.com/play/PL6uTBIckTWD45cnK7Sm063Kt9VFQ2kV05.html
@@Loveofpets thanks❤️
I have 2 lovebirds. But as of late I wish I had chosen budgie or bourke... because there are little kids in my home and bite hazard from my bird is serious :(
I love my birds tho dont get me wrong. It just mean i have to separate kids from birds
My budgie just passed away😔
Rip so sorry for your loss
@@crazybirdladieslaura5647 thank you
When you let them all out do they poop everywhere or do they do it in the cage??
They usually poop where they land. I have plastic runners on the top the cages which I clean often
Your neighbours must love you 🤔
So far no complaints.
Female budgie group of 4 four? How might 4 behave with each other ??
Female budgies can be aggressive with each other so it just depends on the birds but I recommend a flock of males
This might be hard to answer but which bird is the least messy? Which bird eats the least?
I would say that Bourke's are the least messy and eat less than my other birds.
What is your favorite kind of bird and who is your favorite bird you own?
That's a hard question to answer as I love them all.
I have bourkes and love them so much.
I cant train my birds to sit on my finger😭😭
Which bird do u have ? I'll help you I'm a bird trainer
What if I get a bird from a pet store? Is it possible to tame it?
Anything is possible if you have patience, time and knowledge of taming and training.
In my experience it’s not really worth it. Breeders are way cheaper. I keep seeing conures at petco and pet smart at 600-700. That’s around 200-300 more than what breeders sell for. And they’re tame & ready to bond.
I am going to buy a new cockatiel. Can you tell me how cage does cockatiel needs to live?
Hi, the bigger the better and wider is more important than height. 25" wide is the minimum sized cage if the bird is out of the cage alot like this one amzn.to/39uiT5Y . 32" cage is better. This cage is the same size as my cages amzn.to/2Joi7wJ
Thanks so much. love you and your videos with your birds
Your welcome. Glad you enjoy my videos
My bird hates me and loves my mom what do I do?
Every time you walk by your birds cage or you walk past it's playstand or wherever your bird is give him a treat. Spend time talking to your bird.
Are you gonna breed any
Most of my birds are males.
My Bourke's can breed if they want to too but I won't force them to.
