I don't think any animals should be in cages at all, and that video really got to me.
No wonder they pull their feathers out even though it is very painful to self multilate, because they went insane!!
Don’t buy birds if you can’t take proper care of them! This goes for all animals too.
This is why you always always ALWAYS do your research on the pet you want before getting it
I'm REALLY proud that my little bird friend is outside now, I just set him free 2 days ago, he was a baby bird that fell just in our house, we decided to let him stay for a time, we noticed that he wanted to go outside, my mother decided to let him be free, I cried so hard that night, but then I said " If I REALLY love him, I have to let him be happy" and well.. I think he is now happy with his family 🐥❤️
So he was a wild bird?
If he was a parrot you bought from the store, then you just made the worst decision of your life
If it was a baby bird and you touched it its prob dead because of Human smell
@@lego_dane7619 bird sense of smell absolutely sucks they would only abandon it if they felt like their home was discovered (for example if you picked up a fleadling and put it in a tree the mom would still come) just a tall tale to make sure kids don't touch baby birds which is a good thing
I know people with these birds let them out, but its sick that a bird would basically be caged from 1974 to 2021. I can remember back to 1974 and its absolutely unfathomable to me.
Ama put you in a cage an let you out every 6 years for howeva long I feel like you understand let’s see how you like it an by da way you’re special cuz I’m lettin you know what’s gonna happen to you but these birds an these otha innocent animals have no idea what’s goin on dey jus gettin captured an shipped off dats it yo go vegang mayne🦜✊🏿
@@VaqueroVegano Hey I get ya. Have a good one and thanks for caring about the animals.
They should also have a cage with room to spread their wings and things to play with
The cage down in the video is smaller than what people actually keep there birds in by s lot and they do let there birds out very often, so please do some research
I let my budgies outside their cage every day exept night
me too but with my doves
Me too qwq
Budgies want to live in their natural environment only.
@@enterprisingdrop3226 if it’s pet budgies they can’t be in the wild because they have no skills and birds need to. Be kept in the right size cage
I’m so mad at my bro right now! He doesn’t let his budgies out of the cage! 😢
The cruelty that can be inflicted on animals by ignorant humans is immense - open your eyes!
✅✅✅🙏🏽👁🥺
“Birds should just be let free and put of a cage.” -Mom
Poor birds, just want to live.
Animals don't belong in cadges
Dear PETA, you are doing an absolutely formidable job creating awareness about it. Though how cruel it is, people think it is the utmost common. Especially foolish ones, who need to enlightened.
In my own neighbourhood I see caged birds and it makes me angry and shudder at the same time! What can one do? I have started my own animal rights blog in the hope that it is the least that I can do, and help raise awareness. You have always been my inspiration,

not all bird cages look like peta decided to choose the worst cage condition ever to show people
I have a friend with the same type of cockatoo, she loves it so much and lets it free roam all day, she works hard to provide it with lots of enrichment because she would be heartbroken if this happened to her bird
Very, very sad! 😔 Freedom for all animals! Thank you Peta! 👍🏻
this is so sad :( cockatoos are some of the highest maintenance legal pets out there, and I hate that this is realistic to how some of these birds are actually treated. this is also a really effective way of sharing the message, no music, no statistics, just dates, and the visual display of how miserable the bird is.
I feel so bad for this bird
A life in a cage is no life to live
My family calls me cruel for never putting my bird in a cage, but she needs life.
Im so sorry for poor birds who are always in their cage,I am a bird owner but I always keep their door open so they can go wherever they want in my house and also do whatever they want, I tell you they live the life, We also carefully make snacks for them with the best quality ingredients lol, no matter the price we will buy anything for them if they need it, and also we let them go outside aswell, But they stay on our shoulders hehe
My grandpa kept a dog in a cage for two years. The dog looked very sad everytime he would see us come out the house. I tried to tell my grandpa he didnt listen. I was a child at the time. Animals do have feelings. Unfortunately the dog died never having freedom. My grandpa had a pet parrot, my grandpa had the bird caged up as well. My grandpa would speak to the bird. The bird seemed annoyed. Eventually the bird died too. 😢😢😢. Im thinking back on these memories and it hurt 😢😢😢
so agree! beautiful art work.
Heartbreaking 😔
Heart breaking 💔
My bird had free range, except night time. I would never keep a bird caged like this- heartbreaking!
So good! Such a great way to show what these amazing animals go through. The animation is so cool!
Really?
@@Pankakke806 Unfortunately, many birds aren't given those things. Birds are regularly neglected and kept in their cage as ornaments. And even when they are given those things, a cage - on its own - is not enough
If you have a bird at least give it a big cage and a friend
Don't put your bird in a small cage that's like being locked in your bedroom since 1972 and watching everyone else play and run and let your bird out often
I would never buy birds, but I can't say that I wouldn't rescue one or many from a bad situation and arrange trying to release them into their natural habitat, or give them a cageless life.
Pet birds do not belong in the wild, they don't have the skills to survive in the wild. Releasing your captive bred parrot in the wild will only result in its death; either by starvation, a predator attack, too cold temperatures and many more.
Just like nightmare creature said, never ever release a pet bird into the wild. Birds in cages can actually be very happy, if they have a good owner that takes them out daily, plays with them, and gives them a roomy cage with lots of toys. Sodapets, a TH-camr I watch, has very good bird care for her rescued cockatiels. I suggest you check it out, it may change your mind. :)
Everyone is following silly youtubers but no one is lookin at this channel which shows the pain of animals openly so u can report them and let these factories close.
Cages are prison sentences. Please don't put your friends in jail.
Theese poor little angels are kept in cages for there life in fact they become so stressed and lonely that they start tearing out their feathers and wings. :(
Born to be free
Poor bird
It’s why when i was a little girl my mom used to give me a bird in a cage because she knew I loved animals but little did she know that I only liked animals free and so I open their cage open the window and let them escape.
Wish I knew about peta back then because I didn’t think the bird (a small parakeet) really know where to go and become someone else’s victim 😢
Never buy or keep birds. Never!! They don't belong in cages. I have seen birds in cages going insane. It is no different to hell!
People with pet birds should let their birds out of the cage for at least three hours and there are no toys in that cage Poor bird
There’s is a bird rescue and there is a mascot and the mascot is a cockatoo named Murphy
I'm glad we actually let our birds out sometimes because it actually gives them a chance to fly
It is sad knowing that there are Impulse Buyers, Cruel and Inhumane “owners”. But many birds are treated with love and affection when the owner is loving to them.
Imagine all your life in a boring cage
Animals have way more stronger emotion than us and deserve better life than us disgusting humans
I 💟 what you do PETA.
Thank you for your support 💙
That is really sad!
do they realise that bird owners let their birds out most of the time?
Basically the same applies to fish in a tank... :/
i went to my friend's house today and they have a dove. They let the dove free in their room and it does have perches all over the room and a cage but the cage is always left open unless the bird gets excited or it its night time. The dove's name is chicken and she's super sweet and landed on my head since she can fly. The only downside to letting your bird free in a room and only putting it in a cage at night is you need to cover all ur stuff in sheets to prevent bird poop from getting on it
So true. Don't buy wildlife, for any reasons🙏
And teach to the future generations this lesson of compassion and respect for life.
Absolutely. 🙌💯
What about dogs, cats, and rabbits?
@@vitocorleone7040 those aren't wildlife. They were bred to be pets. Same with most birds which have been bred as pets for generations. But still, we should adopt rather than buying because there are too many homeless pets
How could i donate your website.
Thank you for asking! You can make a contribution to our work for animals at: peta.vg/35oq
@@peta Thanks so much!
If your going to get a bird make sure you have all the requirements, and don't keep them in their cages for too long, Keeping them in their cage overnight is long enough for them to get bored, So take them out when ya can!
My birds are cageless except when I’m not home or there’s something that could potentially harm them if they get into it. IMO all birds should be kept that way
Uhhh, but I have a bird, and it’s completely fine. Well, i guess because I TREAT IT WELL
No you dont. It doesn't live in a natural environment.
solution: get a bigger cage and let them out mostly
#engagednotcaged
i have pet birds and they like their cage so much sometimes they don't even come out for free time
That is the most saddest story ever no birds should have to be trapped in a cage away from thier homes...
What we saw was a bad owner, you still can buy birds just please do research on what you need to do and how to take care of them. The right cage and other things will help and you always do this if you ever get a bird, just research and make sure your doing all the right things.
You do realize most people don't abuse animals. Most people take their birds out of their cages except at night.
.... #savebird
Keep birds caged ONLY when sleeping.
I think they overdid this by a lot like ofc no one keeps a kakatoo in a small cage like that. And ofc they let the bird out and fly. Which prevents stress and stops the birds from plucking there own feathers.
If you ain’t been locked up you can’t make da connection go vegang mayne🐾✊🏿
it is better to get your birds wings painlessly trimmed by an expert and let them explore your house, you have to make sure certain spots are clean for them to wonder around.
💔
I have birds but i do let them free when i clean there cage, i feed them as well, and clean there water as well
my birds have the option to go out of their cage roam around the house but they never want to go out and when they do they look for their cage and go back in.
I don’t cage my birds
If you think about it chickens, dogs, fish, and many more animals are treated the same. It’s the equivalent of being born into a jail cell.
🥺
My birds cage is very large and has lots of toys and I have her out with me most of the time she loves me more than anything as well and is very healthy
You are projecting on to the bird. Of course she prefers when you take her out. You are taking her out of hell, into slightly less hell. What a relief.
So do I just throw away my pet birds
ANIMAL FRIENDS MUST BE PROTECTED BY INTERNATIONAL LAW AGREEMENTS AND NOT BE IN CAPTIVITY!
I want to purchase a couple of caged birds every month and set them free as a routine , but I'm reading in certain places that its a death sentence to set them free. Should I do it? I think its a better life than living in a cage
If the birds are domesticated it’s not a good idea to release them in the wild as they won’t know where to find food and water. They haven’t been able to adapt to the living conditions in the wild.
LOL budgies..
Meat good plant bad
This is sad. I hate seeing mistreated birds
Locking up an animal who is meant to fly, in a cage where they can barley spread their wings is so cruel. Please never buy an animal from a pet shop or breeder and encourage others to never do the same.
@@peta definitely will.
It’s why I can’t go into pet stores I immediately cry upon seeing animals incarcerated in there. I like to Protest pet store with signs “animals are innocent and so should not be incarcerated” “free the innocent animals”
“this is not a friendly pet store it is a prison for animals please stop buying animals”
“Pet stores are not fun for animals; it is a prison for them”

I have a pet bird, he lives in a large cage and gets 2-4 h out with lots of toys
if you get a bird, take care of it. If your bird is well taken care of this wont happen
Cockatoos are extremely cute......never ever do this to birds.....they are all very cute......and it's so heartbreaking to see my favourite bird have to go such turmoil........just make them free
If i get a bird i will let it out of the cage every day and give a it a big cage at so he can roam at night and day he can fly all he or she wants
Leave birds free.
I know... my mom has an African grey that she rescued in the 80s from some teenage boys that would smack his cage and blow smoke in his face. He cans be let out of his cage because he is so aggressive due to the abuse he endured before my mom rescued him. His cage is very large, but still... 😞
These teenagers belong in a cage
I should let my Bird go
Caged companion birds are typically not native to the areas where they reside, so they can't just be released. 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. 💔 Learn more: www.peta.org/issues/animal-companion-issues/cruel-practices/caging-birds/
Please never release your pets
*when you buy birds so you can give them a happy life , roaming in a sheltered backyard where no cats will hunt and there’s plenty of shelter and food* : 👌
You can care for birds in need without buying them! 💚 Buying birds only perpetuates a system that causes more birds to suffer in the long run. Learn more: www.peta.org/issues/animal-companion-issues/cruel-practices/caging-birds/
If u hv ability to Buy birds then buy it who live inside cage and free them..... 😶
Please do not release birds, captive birds will die in the wild and also damage ecosystems
Good thing owning exotic birds are illegal
The birds are Nice pets :D
Hi
:(
This is why my birds only are in their cage when I’m out of the room. (I’m like always in my room.) so they have access to the whole place. Also, I rescued them from a dumpster. 😢😫 Those poor babies.
😐 you understand that the bird I have (is a budgie) is bred to not be able to survive in the wild, wild buggies are green wile domesticated ones are blue, violet, white, and other colors. If a blue budgie live in the wild it would be killed and eaten
They have a 4ft wide 5ft tall cage and are let out all day except night wtf peta
People are starting to release there budgies and there dieing wtf
You don’t have to blame all bird owners only the bad ones
I used to raise doves and eventually they became pretty much wild we would bring them in at night and during the mornings we would let them fly around all day, and if they wanted to come in for the night they could but it was completely up to them they were really happy and honestly I know that there life was really good, kind of annoying that your making it seem like all people who buy birds lock them in cages and make them go insane
YES
Especially all the idiots in the comment section who are saying "i'M gOnnA bUy sOme ParaKeets and sEt theM fRee wheRe tHeY belOnG!" Like wtf this is common sense
Wow ummm wow that a aaa focken sad
it depends, id you are just gonna have the bird inside the cage all day for years on end that's abuse, but if you let it free a couple times a day and do more than just giving it food and water, its a good pet :D
True. Peta is right about this and how petsmart and petco are horrible places to purchase animals. But I still think it’s ok to buy animals from a good trusted local breeder not a big chain pet store.
Yes but few disabled birds need attention, so we can take care of them.
To day I was in a zoo whit school and I saw 2 living in a same small cage
What about rats and people that kill the with traps or decon
I just bought a pet cockatoo and I don’t know how to look after it. Can you give me some safe tips?
Tip. Dont buy any more birds to put in cages.
Ddddddddàaaaaaannnn mom poor bird guys just for the sake pls do not buy,eat cloth birds cause I loves birds💖
OK that cage is awful all there is just a perch and i don't see any toys
whoever owned that bird does not deserve to have a bird
and peta you can't just show the worst cage ever to stop people from having pet birds
Go vegang mayne da white man got ma native birds locked up in cages jus like dey got ma native ancestors chained up in prison cells yo make da connection go vegang JUU HURRRRRRD🐾✊🏿
Dey start hurtin themselves yo it’s crazy being locked up GO VEGANG JUU HURRRRRRD🐾✊🏿
I’m sorry for those out there but I have to say this peta is a useless foundation if you want to go to a different conservation site or group please do more animals die faster and are in terrible conditions on these peta farms. These birds are also living the best life they possibly can they do have to fight for food or water and they don’t have to worry about predators sure some birds are abused but there are groups out there that help these birds out and give them better lives. But those birds that are in a good home couldn’t be happier trust me I have a parakeet and he loves me and other people I go outside with him and he does not fly away. Not only those that are vegan you are not getting the right amount of protein and nutrients from eating nothing but plants and those who say well plants don’t feel pain they have nerve endings and do feel pain. Not only this our bodies are made for eating meat when we where hunter gatherers at some points the only thing we would eat was meat so you can argue with me on this but when you do actual research and don’t just think like a caveman you will abandon peta and go to a different organization
