- Hi Buddies,
Parakeets are a wonderful choice of pet bird, as they are low maintenance, friendly, and even great for beginners.
But you still have to remember that you're going to be raising a living, intelligent creature, and that's why you need to be prepared for any scenario.
In this video you'll learn what it takes to be a good bird owner, what mistakes you should avoid, taming tips and even life hacks.

I'm so glad I found this video! My parents said I could get a bird if I could do my research and this video helped me!
NICE
Did ya get one?
I watched this while my bird was playing with her toy next to me, I can’t imagine not letting her out of her cage, she loves to fly around, or making her stay in a small cage, before I got my bird I watched a lot of Salvador budgie
Yeah me either l can't just image my budgies locked in their cage all day
Yeah same my room is basically their cage (i have 5😊)
@@robyng8374 i want another bird currently only have one but she’s not a parakeet
Omg same befor i got mine i wached this to❤😂
Same
this guy is brutal when it comes to calling out bad bird owners. I love it.
Even if I am a veteran budgie owner I still love watching these videos to make sure I am taking good care of my budgies. 🐦💓
What about if your bird turns into a zombie 🤔
my birds is scared of evevrything
I'm getting a budgie soon and I'll be sure to follow these tips!
Same! (Maybe though! I have to prove I'm responsible until summer which is 4 weeks for me.)
Skyler says thank you for posting these instructions so budgie owners will know how to keep us healthy and happy and veterans can have refresher courses.
We just bought a new budgie 3 weeks ago. My granddaughters met him today and were able to teach him a few things he wouldn’t learn from us because we had him out of his cage
I can’t imagine having my bird locked up in prison.
We just wish the pet shops near us didn’t insist on the breeders clipping their wings. It sad 😢watching Skyler trying to fly. I hope it won’t take a long time for them to grow back
I'm planning to buy a budgie next year.. I was looking for tips before i buy one. Thank you for this!!
Dude i was OBSESSED with budgies when i was like 11 and im staring 2 hyper fixate on them again
I just got my first today. I’m getting a second next week. They’re so so worth it. I’m 24 hours I have utterly fallen for my bird
Thanks my dad will buy 2 parakeets soon and I'm really happy to be owning them. So I thank you for making this video
Same brok
hey, i have a pet budgie and these tips are really helping me out. but i have a few problems. my family can’t exactly afford a huge cage for my bird atm, so he stays in a small-medium cage. although, i do let him out as much as i can. also, my parents won’t take me out to the pet store to get new toys for my budgie so he has been stuck with the same ones. i do tend to rearrange his cage sometimes when i feel it needs a change. i have another problem. my pet bird was gifted from a family friend, but a mirror came with his cage. three to be exact. i feel my budgie has become obsessed with himself and slightly aggressive, but i cant take it away from him because he might become sad. i’ve been asking my parents to get him a friend, but they say no. i’m worried for my budgie because he cant live without a mirror, and has been biting me when i go near his mirror. its not as often anymore, still sometimes happens when i’m trying to change his food. (mirror is near his food but there is no space to move it.) i know my budgie does trust me but can be slightly aggressive at times, so he bites me when he’s on my finger. it’s not a nibble, itks a bite. i don’t react at all to him biting but he still does it. i dont know why. my bird is actually a family pet, but i feel i’m the only one caring for it. when i get a job, i’ll do my best to care for my bird and give him a fresh, new start. (bigger cage and everything) thank you so much for these tips, and i wouldnt know how to properly care for my budgie if you weren’t there. (if you see this, please give me some tips!)💓
Hmmm. Maybe try asking for your birthday😁
@@MatildaBaker-kw7hcyeah that's a great idea
Do you still need some tips? Because I've learnt that my budgies love branches with leaves and hanging budgie safe plants in their cage far more than most store bought toys. Also something I've learned thanks to a visit at a vet, hide treats. You give them some food? Spread it out on some plate or something like this and cover it a bit with something light, like dry leaves or paper. Introduce that slow tho, so he learns that this is also a food spot, but is still able to normally eat at the usual safe one. Also mine love when I make them cookies. Just some veggies, some fruit, an egg and their seed, then cooked. I use an oven, I don't know if a pan would be good for that, but if you do have an oven you're allowed to use he'd love those. without the egg you probably wouldn't have to cook it (though I've heard that baked veggies are sweeter for them), just mix it with something like a soft banana or apple and put on some plate. I don't know if you live in a city or not, but if you have any access to trees away from city (or at least the most polluted spots), then they'd love some branches. Also when you give them veggies you could mess them up a bit, like make holes in one bit and put the second bit inside, just so it's a bit more engaging and complicated.
Aww such a great video. I don't own budgies yet bc I don't have my own place, but when I do I should be pretty good at taking care of them. These videos are helpful and hope more people watch videos like this to be educated and good owners!
I wouldn't trust this guy too much. He can give some pretty questionable advice
Save yourself and your budgies by watching BirdTricks (especially for diet), BirdNerdSophie, Flying Fids, and Flock Talk. Please, avoid this channel, Budgie World, Denny the Budgie, and Alen AxP. Yes, these channels have SOME useful info but they have lots of terrible misinformation mixed in.
I am gonna get a budgie soon
Thank you, bird nuggets I’m still planning to get a parakeet and thank you for everything
We have an apple tree in our backyard so we make our bird swings and perches with the apple tree branches
4:49 I disagree with this, yes it’s harder to tame outside the cage but inside the cage should be your birds safe space and a place for it to go when it’s overwhelmed from its taming and wants a break. In the long term you can build way more trust from taming outside and keeping their cage as their safe space.
True
I got the biggest cage at the pet store (It’s not that big but there is enough space for them to stretch their wings and move around with ease..)
Your a nice budgie owner but your cage is not big enough it's kinda small I recommend buying a flight cage
red millet spray can be served like the normal food, not just treats.
is it ok if i let a light on in the room where my budgies sleep?
🐦
I’m getting a budgie this week! So this really helped. I’m mainly worried about where I’m putting the cage though. But I’m sure I’ll figure it out, thank you for your help! 😊
me too
Please don't put the cage near your kitchen . My birds died that way,
@@NazBear I know, the fumes aren’t good for them. Mango is fine upstairs though.
@@manaalarhum Aww such a cute name!! It's been a while since i had birds.. like 3 years or maybe more. So i was planning on getting 2 pairs of budgies. No idea what to name them but maybe i'll name them fruit names. It sounds cute.
@@NazBear Awe, sorry for the late comment, but good luck with your birds!
I saved a bird form falling off a tree …..
I saved a tree from falling off a bird
@@darkhorsesawmills7755 lol
Can someone tell me what to do if I’m scared that my budgie will fly away if I let it out of its cage since the cage is outside
My family say NO to any kind of bird as a pet.
Thank you for this info. I really want a pet bird and I appreciated all the great knowledge
My gf brought home an adult budgie because the owner couldn't take care of it. I have no idea how well he was treated, he had a companion that he is now separated from 😢. And he's already scared of me. My goal is to have him love me.
Would you say a budgie is a good beginner pet for a 13 yr old? I want one alot btw where did skippys pants go?
And it did not work
Watched this and had JUST let my sons untamed bird out of the cage 😅 learning more and bonding with the bird in the best ways ❤
Hi, Salvador Budgie, I Have A Question Please Help Me Whenever My Bird Sir On My Finger It Starts Biting Me Your Previous Video Trick Are Not Working, Please Help Me🙏🏻
My birds cage is bigger then me
I had an ad about chicken right before this.
Should I name my bird after shadow the hedgehog or after timmy my favorite character from Southpark (I was thinking yamcha from dbz too)
I’m a vetRen bird owner but I want to make sure I’m doing right
My budgie is falling over and vomiting hes dying im literally crying so much hes a blue budgie like the one you showed at the beginning of the video
Edit: He got a seizure and died infront of me 😭😭😢😢😢
if im supposed to let my budgie out how do i get my budgie back in the cage and also i thought i was supposed to not let my bird out
Bird approves 👍
My budgies use to not trust me or stand on me But now with all of these videos I watch my budgie's Now trust me all thanks to you🤗🐦
*used🤓
Finally, a pet I can enjoy tea alongside! My best friend kept one. He was a very pretty bird, but sadly his partner passed before him so it was a hard time for him.
same! :( 😥😞
When I bought the bird playground, my birds didnt really give attention to it so my mom returned it. When I bought it again they finally used it🥳🥳🥳
Just have to give them some time to get used to it. Mine just sat on their playground for a couple of days, now they’ll walk along the ropes, play with the bells, and climb the ladders.
me seeing the video after my bird dead
this will help my birds
I'm seriously thinking of getting a budgie, and this video had a lot of useful tips. Thank you very much!
I wanted to be a good bird mom, but I didn’t have enough money for a vet & proper playground & had been pressured to not clean it as often as I can out of fear of making it too clean for my birds.
I did make one out of branches but I used branches from a poisonous tree because I didn’t know it was poisonous.
I ironically suspected the wrong tree of being poisonous too.
I had 2 perches made from fiddle leaf fig & a bunch of perches made from delonix regia.
Next time I’ll get a budgie it’ll be when I’ll have my own abode.
I'm selling my reef tank just to get these little guys. I figure if I can handle that, an akita and guinea pigs how hard could this be?
so i got a problem.. My budgie DOES step up but does not let me pet him i am sooo sad ),:
Heya Salvadore Budgie!
I really enjoy to watch your videos in my free time. They are so helpful and interesting but a problem has seemed to occur with one of my budgies.
I have two budgies, Olive and Sunny. Olive is the male and Sunny is the female. They both live in my bedroom. They have a medium sized cage which they never go in anyway, only to eat, they have a good amount of toys to play with too. They have a seeded diet and almost everyday I try to give them some apple or kale which they enjoy. They have a sleeping routine which I am consistent with. But recently, Olive has began to pluck his feathers around his chest. This was a real shocker to me because one of the main reasons why this is caused is because of stress. The only thing that I could think of is that sometimes a light in my bedroom is left on during the night and they might hear comotion coming from downstairs which could cause stress perhaps.
Another reason this problem could occur is boredom but I've never seen my birds as bored. They are always playing with toys and chatting with eachother so I don't really see this as a problem.
I do have a cat but he is always out of sight of the budgies and they never seem scared of him anyway.
Maybe you have an idea of what's going on and could possible help me. Thank you for your time, Salvadore Budgie!
You have an amazing channel and your work helps many budgie owners across the countries.
Thank you.

Hello! No one responded so I wanted to try and help a bit. I recommend going to an avian vet and getting a full exam including bloodwork to rule out any medical issues. Plucking can be caused by so many things like medical issues, unhealthy diet, not enough enrichment, unregulated hormones (nest boxes or any spot that can be used as a nest, not enough sleep, interrupted sleep, free feeding, etc), improper cage set up, lack of exercise, etc. I’d do some of your own research and see what you may be doing wrong, assuming it isn’t an internal medical issue. I will say that a budgie’s diet should be mainly high quality pellets and chop with 1 tablespoon max of seed a day. Fruit should be feed 2-3 times a week max due to high sugar content. On my channel, I have playlists created to help people find good videos and channels on topics they may be struggling with if you want to check them out. Please, go to an avian vet and do a full wellness exam though.
@@ShaynaFlowers Ah, sorry for the late reply but I think that it all makes sense now!
I think that interrupted sleep may be the issue here. My budgies sleep often gets interrupted due to commotion coming from downstairs and lights being left on. Unhealthy diet could possibly be another option but they have had the same diet for years so I don't quite see how that could suddenly have an impact now. But thank you so much for your advice! I will now try to put my budgies on a more fruity and green diet and I'll try to turn more lights off. Thank you!!
sure when God Yahweh Elohim...sent his WORD to that parrot..and the parakeet..did NOT know the WORD creator...and all the men that claimed they HEARD that bird..and had a creator ..are now deceased...from HEARING the word of GOD Yahweh Elohim..from a bird..so DROWL is about thE owl.."I AM WHO I AM
Hello, I'm gonna get a budgie, so is it possible to potty train the birds, like if I want them to only poo in the cage and not anywhere else?
Thanks

Mom said yes to a bird but the vet said it wont bond with anyone😂

Hey Salavador Budgie. Could you make a video on how to tame 2 budgies from a petco store at the same time?
But if i release a new budgie in my room, then how can get back it in it's cage
This is my first time owning a budgie, and this really helped me. Thanks for helping birbs get great and porper care. Love your content.
Define budgie
How's it going ?? How's pumpkin :)
@@bonniembash14it's the Australian nick name for a parakeet. :) they are from Australia so it's technically the correct term it's actually something like budgierager but I can't spell it correctly😂
Hi ! You talk in your video about letting your bird out ! I want to but i tried once and my poor guy just hit the walls, and i dont want that to happen again, what do i do to make them go out and not freak out ? '^'
First of all, make sure your room is bird proof and well lit, without any mirrors.
Place a playground in a spot not too far from the cage, and let your bird out slowly...let him/her do the work of getting out, and don't stand too close to the cage when they do.
Good luck
@@Bird-Nuggets Thank you very much !
I don’t let my birds out of the cage any day but it’s only because they are not tames😢help me 🙏
I have 4 budgies’s and 1 keeps biting and nipping. Even though we have everything! We don’t let our birds out because one accidentally got out and kept hitting the walls and we are scared it might happen again. Can please make a video on how to let them get out or share the link please? We are such a big fan of you❤❤ and
5:20 I see the logic here, but birds learn from each other, taming them alone is not only unnecessary but can stress them out
I got my 2 budgies (1 female and 1 male) from a person that was abusive to them. we found them in his house in a tiny cage with no food and water and now he is in jail and can't be near animals but now I give them food and toys and a bigger cage but the are still traumatized and i dont know what to do at this point.
Mine had a history of neglect when i took him in I've been trying to train him for years and he won't budge, he also hurts the others in the cage with him, one of them Unfortunately died because of this.
I honestly don't know what to do anymore i want to give him back 😭 i miss the one that passed and it has drawn me back from training him, Please help!
I just got 3 of them today in one cage, it was what I could afford atm.
Plz mack a video on how to train your bird to not fly away and free fly 🙏🤞
When I was 10 my family and I had around 6 buddies. They were always in a cage and lived outside. I loved them but I always felt sad and knew I was a bad bird mum. Because I was young and didn’t understand I opened the cage and let them “free” little did I know they would die the next day because birds like that can’t live in the wild. I cried for weeks. Long story short today I went to my friends house and they had a budgie, it brings me back and now I want a budgie that I can actually take care of and have fun with (fly in my room, play etc). But I know my mother will say no.
for those looking to save money, Temu has really good cheap bird toys, (and bird supplies in general) they have huge 10-15 pack of toys for under $10! Way better deal than petsmart
Thank you !! I was on Amazon and it’s amazing how expensive birds toys are !!
My Parents know how to take care of parakeet they look so cute 🥰
I got my bird yesterday but it already trusts me how is it possible? Pls reply Salvador budgie
I still watch these vids even though I have a 3-year old cat…. Don’t ask why I don’t have a bird💀
Some of the budgies are niveous , while some are daffy, this aspect proves that all individuals are distinctive
Bird nuggets , I have 4 budgies in my cage and you said I have to let them out of their cage. But there are 2 cats in my house they always try to hunt them. But i keep my cats out. Then what should I do with taking out them?
The life hacks really helped me, especially the homemade humidifer my budgies are parents now and it really helped, them thx for the information❤
so i watched this video because i have some problems taming my birds. I have 2 male budgies and i keep them is kind of small cage because i don't really have the money for a big cage right now and i feel so bad about it but i am working on it. I also keep my cage open during the day to let them out and fly around and play but they don't wanna leave their cage and i don't know why, am i doing something wrong?
TURMERIC POWDER is 100% best
Scammer doesn’t work let me ban this scammer
Even if lm not a beginner, l still like learning more about these little cute creatures. Btw lm wondering what color my baby budgie will be but l have a feeling that it would be either a blue budgie like skip or a rainbow budgie like Neo or even a half-sider budgie, but the chances are super rare
I have those exact stars at the beginning of the video in my cage lol
0:25
My bird passed away about a month ago, and my room has been empty, after I cleaned up the cage and put it in the basement while I think of if I want to get a new one my room has felt so empty, my birds name was Skyler, she was beautiful, and a little sassy and dramatic, and I loved her singing when I came back from getting some water. She used to fly to my shoulder and do a little spin and then nuzzle up under my hair and probably fall asleep. She got sick and my vet was out of town and they felt TERRIBLE they sent me a letter after she passed saying how bad they felt that they got stuck in a airport, I am thinking of getting a new bird and I've been watching some videos hoping I will do a good job. Thank you for tips man.
Whenever salvador budgie post's a video that makes the day
Question does my bird fear me if when u put my finger near him he scoots away
Selvador budgie my female budgie breaded with its father and now she laid eggs what can i do?
I got my bird from someone I don't know if it's the actual cage it was in when I got it but it was a small cage with dowel perches and one plastic toy and mirror it she acted like it never left a cage she couldn't even fly properly and i think it was just a decoration I had her for about two years and she goes absolutely everywhere in my room but I still haven't tamed her but she puts herself back in the cage so I don't really need to worry about it but she starting to trust me
I just got a parakeet today and I already got her on my finger
My birbs's bath
THE WATER BOWL
Lol this is so real I can’t afford a cat water fountain so I have to use a cup
Should i let my budgie out It's cage in my room after or before It's tamed
8:43 Ive been interested in having a birb for a few years cant get one in my parents house but im out 8 hours from 5am to 3pmish so i feel on that point i cant get one anyway
Good video but I really miss old channel name 🥺
My budgies or parakeets don’t even want to get near me but it takes time
Same bro I’m trying
hi, this video is really useful but I I’m not able to do much being that u cant keep them near me because my mum think they will make a mess or will be annoying also I have lots of homework and also I can’t find any give toys at my pet stores
I don’t have money to buy big cage :(
What should i do now
It sounds easy to tame birds separetely but I own a couple of lovebirds. And they scream and get scared if they do not see each other. ☹ So far I reached a point where female bird does not run away like crazy, stays at the place but definately is scared. And male one is scared and hiding behind her.
It got a bit better since I started introducing different toys for them like leaves or even toilet paper to shred it. And when these things fall, I just grab them and put back. So, they kind of know now that I am there to put toys back. But it is impossible to put fingers close to them.
Maybe someone has some taming tricks for a couple?
P,S. I am owning them for 4 months now and we bought them already as adults. Is it even possible to deserve their trust in that point ?
In which age parakeet start eating itself?
This helped a lot! Tysvmmmm!
When I go on break, I go to the pet store across the street almost everyday to see the birds. One thing caught me off gaurd though, if I put my hand and keep it still in the Budgies pen, 7 or 8 of them come and start nibbling my hand or biting hard. Surprisingly when I lift my arm up. I'll have four little friends, and they start playing with my glasses and going to my shoulder chirping away. I guess I've done something right.
Also the district manager wants to hire me over at the pet store because I go in there all the time to tame down the birds. The only two birds I am having a really hard time with is the ring neck parrots those dudes hurt.
does he have a standard cage since i want it or large?
I bought a full grown bird like that but whenever I even get near it he screams soo loud can I train him to not be scared of me
what is with the cookware comment? lol i cant understand
I have 3 birds and i love them, but 1 thing is the poo, it makes taking them out of their cage for long periods of time very hard
What do u recommend?
Parakeets are intelligent birds
i need help. i have had my bird for 15 years now and he use to fly around the house but now even tho his door is always open he doesnt leave his cage also he dont trust me
