"They haven't eaten all night"
My budgies- ( at midnight)
tImE fOr a SnAcK
Oh my god me to I will be a sleep and then hear pecking of him eating and I’m just like why why why know
Haha
Same! I’m trying to sleep and my budgie (Charlie) Is very fussy and is always changing perches, he’ll just climb to another perch, waking me up! 😂😂
To true
Lmfao same with my lovebird
My birds: reeee i will NOT touch the vegetable U CANT MAKE MEEEE.
Bluebell: I swim in lettuce
Omg yes 👏👏
haha😂
LoL
Lol
XDDDDD
BlueBell then: Didn’t like vegetables because they were too wet
BlueBell now: Swims in lettuce
Yes so accurate 😂😂
😂
🤣🤣
I have adopted a 22mth old masked lovebird who has only had a seed diet. I have really enjoyed watching most of yr vids and have found them quite informative for Birdie.
Hello k1b0
My budgie came to me on an all seed diet. He was extremely unhealthy. I have had him for a year now and can I just say how much of a change has been made. He eats veggie chop every day with much delight and has Harrison’s pellets in the evening and throughout the day. So if you have a bird that hates vegetables like mine did. Do not give up because that just hurts your bird even more.
YES!! I’m so glad your bird is on a healthy diet now!!
How long did it take you to change the bird's diet?
eunice yew so it took me about two weeks to get him onto pellets and then an additional one week to get him on veggies. My bird really liked the pellets wet and mushed with some seeds and it took kinda of a long time to get him to eat the pellets dry and by themselves. I had to slowly make them less wet and reduce the seeds. Now he goes crazy for pellets and I got him to eat chop by adding pellets into it and doing the same thing of slowly adding less pellets to the chop. Hope this helps is you are trying to get yours to eat healthy
@@person11lol66 Your bird is insane. Hope my future bird will do as well.
Julie Bakly yeah he is. Thanks goodness he took to it so fast. Good luck with your little feathered friend
Before watching this, I'm going to guess some ways to get your birds to eat healthy:
1] Tell them they're going to go to bed without dinner if they don't eat the healthy food.
2] Tell them the poor birds in other countries can't afford to be picky about what they eat.
3] Get them one of those nutrition calculator apps (assuming you can prevent them from biting apart their computer or smartphone.)
4] Teach them rhymes about healthy and unhealthy foods, like
"When I shy from meats and cheese
I will be safe from heart disease
If I eat just nut and seeds,
An early death is guaranteed
I love veggies, green and red,
For great health in the years ahead
Well-made pellets in my diet
Guarantee I won't be quiet!"
5] Make them watch this Live Laugh Birds video.
love this 😂😂
Awsome
my bird: ok so what?
I love your comments they make my laugh
This is the best comment I have ever seen
who else has a picker eater:)
meee mine lagit wont eat pelets or veggies 🙄 but I'm still trying
My budgie Nova won’t eat fruits or veggies except for I think she ate a TINY bit of lettuce that was sprinkled on her food
Me to
Ussss😂 we have one that likes veg's and fruits but there's one who likes none of them
Pickey
i literally have about 10 of your videos in my notes to make sure i’m giving my birds the best life
That makes me so happy

I appreciate how you said it took a year to convert Bluebell over! Sometimes we get so fixed on "do it now!!" that we forget they're individuals.
"Kermit no."
Kermit: I'm about to ruin this whole man's career

I recently got a cockatiel and discovered he will willingly literally eat anything
I'm hoping to transition my birds from their seed diet to a more varied meal soon! Thank you for doing this video :)
You have inspired me so much too get a cockatiel and I’m determined to get one. Recently my budgie Linda died and you have helped cheer me up... thanks
I’m so sorry, fly free Linda ❤️
She will be in a better place
😞 😔 😢 😭
Leo’s Reptilife I am sorry for your loss!
I’m so sorry 😔 I’m sure she had a very happy life.
apparently watching birds eat is insanely more interesting than I could have ever expected
This is my boyfriends youtube, my names Kira I have a cockatiel named "Kermit" (he has a green crest, so cuteeee and i was inspired by your gorgeous kermit) i had such a small cage, i didnt realise till i watched your videos!! his old cage was like a forth of his new cage which is 140cm x 57cm x 93cm, hes so happy!, ive also stated changing his diet (He used to only eat seeds now have got him on veggies and fruit, really quickly i am very luky) Thank you for your videos Kermit and myself both benefit by them!!
That so cool
what....
a cockateile w/ a green crest whaaaaaaaaaa
I have now got my bird I am going to try these techniques thank you so much 😊
I am doing research on birds, and their care because I am getting one soon. Your videos are so helpful!
Same, I am expecting a budgie and possibly a macaw!
Thank you!!
Me to i am getting a rare macaw
Good luck! 😀🦜
Me too hey livelaughbirds can cockatiels eat fruits like apple
Yes! Thank you so much! My bird is PETRIFIED of any veggies. I can’t wait to try this out!!!!
lol, my bird was too!! like does a carrot look evil ? 💜💜
Who else though when ducky ate the lettuce it was so satisfying
Normal birds: Play with toys
Kermit: oh hair

😍I love all of them and thx ffor helping me with helping my bird to eat and by the way my bird is a budgie and her name is diamond🐦💎
A natural teacher, and it's always exciting to learn new ways to take the best care of your feathered friend. Thank you!
Ducky eating the leaf is satisfying honestly🤣
Yay! I am so glad you finally did this video😊❤️ I really had to know
Dude why would the dislike button exist on a vid like this. EDIT: me qnd my budgie steve cheered when the comment got a heart
OMG thank you this is exactly what i needed for my budgies, Devyn and Deedee.
Thank you so much for showing my art! You are so kind and this video was super helpful! I’ll be making chop hopefully today.
I'm so glad that my birds aren't picky at all. They just love vegetables xD
Lucky!!
Be prepared for the third comment about my budgie TODAY
My budgie Clover absolutley LOVES Corn :3
Excellent advice! Keep trying to feed fresh foods, too many people give up.
We recently got 3 more birds, and have 5 in all (all parakeets). Your videos help reassure us, and thank you for doing so! I love your channel. Keep doing what you’re doing! :)
Lots of great ideas. Thanks! So fun to see your birds and how they play and respond to food.
already excited to watch this because i know it's going to be amazing!
Thank you so much ❤️
Don't forget Bird tricks has great books about preparing and feeding your flock veggies. Sprouts can be dipped with grapefruit seed extract so that mold doesn't grow and its safe for birds. Great video Elle!!💜💜💜
Have just got a cockatiel & watching your you tube vids is really helping me understand my bird. Thankyou for all the helpful info as have never had a pet bird before 👍🏼😊
This video was so helpful. I have 2 two month old budgies, one yellow and one green and they didn’t eat chop the first time I made it for them but this time I put seeds in there and they finished nearly all the chop! Thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos!!
Thank you so much for this video! My budgies used to not eat any vegetables or fruit we offered them, but now we tried peas because of your video and they ate some of them! Yay!!! Thank you so much!
I have a budgie named Angel, I've had him for almost a week now and he's the cutest thing ever. I've been giving him just seeds for a couple days but I am trying to feed him different types of foods. Your videos have helped me a lot and make me more determined to give my budgie the best life. I'm gonna try some of these methods. :)
itz jackychan you will do great 👍🏼
I was watching your other videos since I got my cockatiel a little while ago and I theres a few things I needed to find out and. This is exactly what I needed!
I'm so glad you made this! I've been trying to switch my birds to pellets and veggies instead of seeds. This was really helpful!
For some reason ducky eating lettuce was oddly satisfying 😂
I know right!!
Me and my sister might be getting 1 budgie each and your channel is fun and educational
this helps me so much! my cockatiel, bug, is so stubborn when it comes to veggies. I am definitely going to try all of these methods out. thank you!
Honesty your probably 1 of the most knowledgeable bird people I’ve seen and have some of the best bird care going
Thank you so much ❤️
If you need your bird to get some essential amino acids but they won’t eat anything but seed and something like apples I highly suggest you get them “egg food” it is honey and egg bits, works great especially around the time when the girl is laying because we sprinkle extra in there along with a bunch of calcium grit and she picks out the grit and egg bits and eats them over the seed :)
Her missing a nail is my aesthetic 🙌
My parrots did not like veggies but now they love them thanks to you 😊💕
I love that you gave us sooo many options and tips in this video!! You really know that every bird is different and we need to trying different things. I have my budgies since January and they eat a lot of vegetables ( in chop), fruits, they have pellet diet, they eat millet and seed outside the cage as a treat (training and bonding), ..., and I am very happy because all that progress is because of your videos!! I’m so happy 😭❤️ although they already eat vegetables I want to try more variety and give them to them in different ways (like the ideas in this video) because so far they only like vegetables in chop!! Can’t wait!
This is incredible!, I just got a yellow sided sun Conure just like yours and I was sadly informed that he was fed on a seed diet for 4 months. I’m trying to give him pellets as his main diet and trying to have him have more variety of fruits as he was only being fed apples.
This really helped!
my birds both are in LOVE with chop. I used to feed them a seed mix with veggies added bc that's what Petco said, then found ur videos and made chop. My birds are in love. My girl budgie likes fruits too, but my boy one prefers veggies and they both love veggies! thank u!
(if u were wondering they will only eat millet and chop, they will try seeds, but go back to chop I'm so proud!) (they also love moist chop and they don't like a dry version)
Great video, very informative! Thank you! Also agree, watching animals of any kind eat is very satisfying! I love watching horses eat!
You have helped me learn so much about parakeets! Thank you
Can you do a video on bird myths, please. There are a lot of myths about birds I want to know if they are true. I have two cockatiels and I want to take care of them very well. Thank you!!
ahhh! ive never been so early!love ya girl keep doing watcha doin!
Great job being early!!! Thank you so much 💖
When I get a Marlene video and you on a Tuesday after I got the worst week coming makes me feel better love u both
Aww I hope your day is better 💕
Hi I am getting a cockiteiel in six months and I really enjoy this channel and I’m taking in information you’re giving and writing it down to give the bird I’m getting a good life and companion
I have a pearl Replica but it is a boy his name is snowy and he is 6 months old he is a budgie and he does not eat fruit or veggies
Can u heart this comment pls
Yay!
It god hearted
my budgies go CRAZY about there vegetables! they well not fight about their pellets but they do RUN to the chop & or veg 😁😋😘
Your birds are so cute and your videos are helpful and informative. Thanks for bringing our family a little joy as we are grieving the recent loss of our 2 juvenile budgies Tie-dye & Blue. They were so sweet and just gave us so much joy but vet suspects they came sick from the pet store and there was nothing we could do. My heart just breaks so much and we miss them terribly. We’ve been watching your videos to gain more knowledge for our next try with bird pets. 💛
I love your videos !! Such great info. I’ve been wanting to get a budgie for a few months now and will soon . Your videos have helped me be prepared for when I bring one home .
What a FANTASTIC video! You are so knowledgeable and so entertaining. I absolutely love watching your videos and I watch them from beginning to end 💕 I am definitely going to try some of your tricks for some of my birds that will absolutely not touch vegetables. It's very hard to give vegetables to 46 Birds 😱 They are all on a very good pelleted diet with thrown in Nutri berries & pellet berries. They also love almonds, walnuts, bananas, apples & cheerios. They also get their chop a few days a week. With so many birds it gets so messy and it is so hard to control where all this food goes 😱 So, unfortunately I cannot give such a huge variety all the time or I would have a mess to clean up every minute of the day. Sometimes I wish I only had a few birds like you so I could concentrate on just them, but having a huge flock like I have I just have to do the best I can 💕
You do amazing considering how many birds you have, I have no idea how you do it 😅
Omg thank you soooo much , now my bird likes veggies , thank yoooooouuuu , you're the best 💕
Yay!! I’m so happy your bird is eating veggies now ❤️
Wow! I did not even realize my art got featured at the end!! Thank you so much!!💓😊
I'm about to start raising 2 two month old budgies and this video helped. thank you!
Can you pleeease make a video on how you taught your birds to wave?!
I love your channel keep going no matter what anyone else say good job and have a good day
Thank you so much ❤️
I am binge-watching your videos. They are so helpful and informative. I've had a bird before and I am planning on buying a budgie as soon as I get a green light from my landlord that I can. Thank you so much for all your videos. I've subscribed and will come back to watch more of your videos. I've read up a lot about budgies and thanks to your videos I've got a lot more information about birds (specifically about diets, how to tame birds and about cages, toys and so on). I absolutely love your channel :)
I love how all of the birds eat healthy
Thank you so much for this information ! My birds have been eating ONLY seeds ever since I got them but I usually give them apples not everyday though , and I gave them kale and cucumbers only. It is my fault I never researched enough but ever since I found your channel it has helped me out so much ! Literally waiting for Publix to open so I can go and buy my babies (6) some vegetables (: EDIT: yesterday I went to the pet store and I saw three cockatiels OMG they were SO cute they kept following me and I REALLY wanted to get one but wasn’t and am not ready yet lol maybe later in the future 😊 2ND EDIT/UPDATE : when I gave my babies their vegetables they weren’t eating it so what I did is added a little bit of seeds and they started eating it once they “accidentally” ate the vegetables NOW they LOVE IT and finished everything up !
Who else is watching because you think Live Laugh birds is the best channel.
FYI I didn't do this for the likes I just want you to be honest
Live laugh birds is the best channel 😂
I only watch it because it is the best and I’m also getting new bird
Cutebee
This is so helpful! Love all your tips el😍👏 amazing video👍
I have two budgies and I had them for two years now and I only fed them seeds. I jest started giving them pellets and chop and they weren't eating the veggies in the chop and this video helped so much. Thank you.
My budgie only eats the sweet potato’s in my chop
My birds love sweet potatoes too!
Maybe you can make the sweet potato even softer so you can mix it with the other vegetables and knead it into balls so when they're eating the sweet potato they're also eating the other veggies :)
Marije can’t believe I never thought of that. your a Genius
StArBuRsT i think I heard this tip from birdtricks! So all credits go to them hihi. You’re welcome!!
Hello! I’d like to thank you for inspiring my mum and dad let me get a budgie all because of your help thanks! :)
You really should not bc you have had to bribe your mum and dad to get you one so
Good choice in bird BUDGIE Team!! 🐦
@@ashleyatchison3948 good point my mum and dad surprised me with my first budgie on my birthday and I didn't need to bribe them 😐😕
This was so helpful as I am going getting a lovebird very soon👏👏🦜
OMG THANK YOU I WILL USE YOUR ADVICE!!! I bought our birds from a pet shop and they were only on a seed diet thank youuu
Thank you so much for this video . My budgie Greene looks like pearl but she is green with a yellow head . She does not like eating her veggies 🙈 so I try my best to feed her veggies from your videos . Your videos help me alot . Thank you so much ❤️ . I was very exited when this video came out . Just to let you know I subscribed and turned on post notifications ❤️ . Please can I have a shout out
I love your birds. They are just the cutest little things ever 😍 . I love you and your videos ❤️.I am so happy that you are a TH-camr
Hi finally got my green cheek conure
Congrats!!!
I just got 2 new birds and now have 6 birds, but they did not eat any veggies and this video really help. Thank you!
Yay DUCKY IS MY FAV 🖤🕊😇🐦 Pikachu wants to meet him and play! They are all so beautiful and healthy.
Who else is having a live laugh bird marathon??? 🤣😊😏🤩
Me: *tries to feed cockatoo carrots. Cockatoo: *throws it. Me: * makes kissing sounds while trying to feed. Cockatoo: delicious, finally some good F****** food
my budgie would never eat her veggies but when I used your chop recipe, she loves veggies! she goes nuts when I give her chop.
Thank you so much for these tips, I'm sharing this on a parrot fb page because someone is struggling to help a bird they found eat something other than seed. She's been trying to find his owner for months and I think this will help her switch his food ❤️
I tried feeding my new budgie broccoli She kept flying around in the cage as soon as she saw it. Edit: Day 2 of trying to feed my budgie vegetables and she finally nibbled on some of it.
Update?
so i am gonna be getting a budgie at the end of the month really nervous it wont bond with me or wont like me ive been researching videos to be ready i already have its cage so so nervous ive been watching ur tip videos they will help hopefully :) thanks!
Make sure it's hand tame. It took my daughter over a year and so much effort to tame her un-tame baby budgies.
mmartelle -roblox don’t be nervous. You seem to be doing your homework about the birds. Don’t be hard on yourself, it might take a little while to learn your bird, but if you follow these tips from here and other good YTuber videos and learn your birds cues you can have a really cool friend. And don’t underestimate them, they are very smart. Keep at it. Enjoy giving your new bird a good life.♥️✌️
I just got my baby boy last week and it's the best decision I have ever made I love him so much they are fairly easy to bond with just NEVER EVER
-forcfully take him out of his cage
-yell or purposely scare him
-grab him only ever let your bird step on to your finger they will lose trust if you grab them
Also if you only get one you need to play with it all the time
How is he/she?
How's your bird?
I really enjoy watching your chanel iv watched all of your videos in 2 days I think your the best bird person that makes the best bird chanel
i’m either getting a budgie or a lovebird soon, and ur videos are very helpful💞
I have a question: I have a cockatiel and my mom is convinced that putting it in a new cage or changing the placement of perches will be bad for the bird. I want to give it a bigger cage and switch some perches with natural wood do you think it is fine to do? Thank you!
Daniel Serrano oh ya totally, I bet your bird would LOVE that! The only thing though, when my bird got a new cage he was a bit scared so I had to monitor his eating. Other than that, I think that would be the right thing to do!
Yes totally!! Love cage upgrades!!
Thanks, guys! will do!
And it’s also good to move their toys so they are more stimulated. you will have saved your bird from getting a deformed foot. They need dog perches. ♥️♥️♥️✌️
Raptor my cockatiel loves it when I re arrange his perches for some reason.... he watches above chirping very sweetly and is very excited to go back in.
💜💜💜
Love ur birds ur so helpful 💜💜💜
Tysm for hearting my comment 🥺 I’m slightly starting to cry 😭 because of how happy I am.
New video suggestion: DIY bird toys?
The way Kermit grabbed the corn with his talons made me laugh way to hard!!!
My tiels love to bite a veggie and throw most of it on the floor lol
Katie Pecotich haha😅😄
the sign of rejection 😅
yay!!! 💜💜 my bird doesn't like fruit lol, just veg. 😂 why tho she won't eat fruit!! haha 💜💜 like what's with that😂 at least she won't eat too much fruit😂
Better for Birds, my birds only eat fruits and barely any veggies lol!
@@rinam4198 oh no!! try only give them veg, fruit only as treat 💜💜 corn and broccoli are my bird's fav try them 💜💜 and then move on to other veg's, good luck💜💜
Better for Birds, they love spinach and broccoli, as soon as i can buy corn and peas (and learn to prepare them) i will try :) thank you!
@@rinam4198 no problemo!! 💜💜 good luck!!
Ducky won’t touch fruit either!
Aw I love birds so much and you are the best rolemoddlle for people owning birds. Also your birds are so so so cute
Thank you so much ❤️
Thank you so much for your help elle!!! Carrot and peach are now my bird's favorite food!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love all your videos!!! I have some questions though. I was wondering if it is better to get 2 birds at the same time (they will be bourke parakeets) so they could have each other as friends or is it better to only get 1 bird at a time? My parents have had a good amount of experience of birds but it'll be my first and they are ok with getting birds. Im actually saving to pay for half of the amount for the food, cage, toys, vet bills, and bird 😄! Also, are bourke parakeets ok to have if i have other pets(2 Persian cats and 2 pomeranian dogs)? Thank You!😁
I am going to move to bigger house!
Do you know what that means?
Bigger cage!
Yess!!!
will definitely be trying these tips.thank you
This helped a lot!! Thank yo uso much, I love this channel! * From Portugal! :D
