Letting A Bird Out Their Cage For The First Time
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 июн 2024
- Sorry I was sick and there was a lawnmower and my speaking and thoughts were not cohesive at all. Hope this video made sense! If not let me sum it up here:
Make sure you give your bird 2 weeks to analyze their space and you before letting them out. This prevents bumping into things. Also close windows when you let them out until you can teach them what glass is. As well keep them in one room the one they are familiar with so they can explore little by little.
They will fly up to places or just sit on top of their cage. GIve them time dont panic about them getting back in so quickly. Unless its getting super late. Bribe them with treats or see if they let you pick them up. Keep the environment calm so they dont panic. Worst case scenario and you cant get them down use the technique of turning off the lights. A bird will freeze and you can catch them in a towel and return them.

Yaayy new video! Omg I remember how nervous we were taking him out of the cage the first time. His cage opened from the top so we let him out from the top and he just waddled around on the top of his cage and ate apples hahaha.. it took us forever to put him back inside after cuz he didn't know how to step up 🥺
Awww 🥺
But yes they all have different reactions! Thats so cute by the way 🥺 Mine also just chilled ontop of their cage and ate 😝
@@mimisbirdhouse I have question. What are you doing through the summer when temperature is very high, windows are open etc. We have pretty high temperatures already and I can't let Bruno out of the cage while I have open window...I was thinking about some sort of net in the window but I am not sure, and I doesn't want to keep him in the cage for the whole day - now I am letting him fly with breaks because when I close the window, room gets very hot in a few minutes at summer there will be around 30 degrees Celsius. I am also thinking letting him out of the cage early at the morning - when there is still cool temperature, then keeping him in, then later again let him fly...Summer will be more complicated than Winter ;) For sure I will put the cage outside too, but not for the whole day and not when there will be 37 degrees Celsius outside. i also think that video like that: how to keep your parrot cool during heatwave, would be great video :D
I remember when I first got my birds and let them out of the cage. They were like “ummmm… what do we do”. I guess it’s because they were caged they whole time till I adopted them. Now they roam freely and visit my while i work from home. They know when it’s their bed time and they’ll say it too. 😊😊😊
Thats absolutely amazing!!! Those birds must be so so happy ☺️
tysm! u helped me so much because soon after summer vacation I'm going to get 2 budgies and your channel helped me so much and btw I hope u feel better and I hope for the best
This makes me so happy 🥺 Im so very glad my videos can help you ❤️
I got a Quaker today! Oh my god I took him out the cage thinking he would kill me cause he wasn’t tamed at all! But oh boy he flew on my arm and started playing💗😊
THATS AMAZING!!!! Congrats on your new baby 🥰🥰🥰
@@mimisbirdhouse THANK YOU!!
Hi
I brought pair of cockatiels. They are 1.5 yeats old as per the shopkeeper. Its day 4 that they are at my place. They do eat from my hand from day 2 but they dont step up. My husbakd want them to fly and keep the cage open. Do they come in the cage by themselves if i put food and water in the cage? Or how to catch them to put them back in the cage i am do afraid
@@The-Indian-Soul-Pooja put food or try getting a stick that they can step on.
awwwww congratulations mine fly away all the time it’s impossible too get them inside
I hope you are feeling better!
Thank you so much 🥺
Super helpful! So just to clarify, wait until at least two weeks before any sort of leaving the door open?
2 weeks is usually the average but if you see your bird getting comfortable prior to that feel free to open the door :)
I hope you are feeling better now . Thank you for the video and the tips . I have difficulties to put my bird for bed time because he always knows from my gestures . Like changing the water in the cage , closing the curtain in the room, he flies away from me 😂 . And after I prepared everything I go get him . And I always have to force him ( grab him as gentle as I could , and he will bite even not a strong bite) . He always wants to play and don’t want to sleep , and I remember you said birds need good sleep .
Ps : great demon slayer shirt you’re wearing
Hahaha same :D Bruno my quaker knows when I want to put him in the cage to sleep - now especially since he has two cages. But even before, when I was fixing the curtain behind the cage, when I was trying to put him in the cage, and worst of all if I said word 'sleep' he was flying away to the highest furniture in the room. Even now I need to grab him gently and put him in the cage - and close the doors before he will fly out of the cage again ;) He doesn't have issues with the cage at all, just with sleeping time and he is already going to sleep late. If it depends 100% on him he would never sleep ;) Well guess we are perfect match, if it would be possible I would choose not to sleep at all too :D
@@Nika44 so cuteee ❤️ . Yes how inteligent birds are . My Sun Conure is my first bird , and so clingy . Yea it’s so cute they will fly to the highest furniture even tho the highest furniture in his room is only a cupboard , not that high hehehe . I can imagine you both will stay up all night playing and not sleeping hahaha .
@@liemsioeming1821 Yep their intelligence is incredible ! Birds in general, but parrots are one of the best at this field.
Hahaha staying up at night would be great sadly both of us need sleep :)
Thank you so much :) and yes for me I have to prepare the room too 😂 once they see its dark they will say "goodnight" and go to sleep 😂 and yesss fellow anime watcher 😌
@@Nika44 yesss , you both need some good sleep to stay healthy ❤️
I came here for advice for my bird getting back in my cage and he loved your voice 😂😂 he follows my phone when he hears it
Thats the best compliment ever 🥹 T
Idk if you ever talked about this but I'm curious about your past birds before Tilia 😅 what types of birds did you have and how was life with them? Don't have to answer if it makes you uncomfortable or brings back certain memories
Hey 👋 I talked about it in my rescues video. My first bird was a rescue budgie, I was really little and my mom taught me a lot. Always free roaming around the house and sitting on our heads. Our next two birds were a pair of linnies, also rescues. Very peaceful, just liked to people watch. Cage was open all the time, but never were able to accustom to hands. And then after them was Tilia :)

Hi ☺️ so its important to note gaining their trust is going to take time. They wont just step up immediately. If you follow the timestamp on this video you can find my tutorial on doing this and itll be easier for you because they already eat from your hand; ruclips.net/video/6GR_xFnD1do/видео.htmlsi=KBbhqNE98_axpXjq
Letting them fly around is great! I personally like to keep their food and water on top of the cage or use this for the outside; a.co/d/87PZ8PI
If you let them out be prepared to spend time and be patient. They will eventually come back on their cage. They will slowly become comfortable being out but the first few times they will be extra excited and want to explore, make sure to follow what i said by keeping the surroundings safe for them ☺️
The first time I got a bird out of the cage he got stuck behind a closet in the first phew seconds luckily I was able to catch him to put him back in the cage
You literally could not have explained this any better. So I bought two birds and am not familiar with them at all. Today I let them loose in my room for about an hour. Allowed them do their thing I trusted the process and it handled it self ever so perfectly. After about an hour they flew right back into their cage. So my real question is do you recommend I do this often now???
Hi im so glad that it worked out for you :)
i recommend doing it everyday, and of course speaking to them softly and being present so they get used to you. you can even after a bit hold treats in your hands or a plate with some veggies or fruits (safe for them) near you on a table or something and see if they get comfortable coming near you too
Hi! I have a question, how would I do this, but with two budgies? Would it be the same?
Yes it would :)
i have a new parakeet that showed up at my house and was drowning in my pool, at first i didn't realize it was a exotic bird i just thought it was a regular outside bird but when i realized it was a parakeet i took him in, and now he has a big cage with toys and everything. the first couple of days he didn't really do much but sleep which is understandable due to the trauma he had but now he's being more loud and active and he seems to be okay with my hand, i put my hand in his cage and he came up and slept on my arm but now he keeps trying to stick his head out of the bars of the bottom of the cage and i dont know what that means... maybe he wants out? he seems to be okay heath wise, im a little nervous to take him out for the first time but i feel like it was be good for him. what should i do?
First of all thank you so much for rescuing the parakeet and providing proper care! It does sound like he wants to come out. I have a video on letting them out for the first time right here

I hope that helps ☺️ feel free to ask anything else you need!
I have two cockatiels and their wings are clipped but they want to come outside but are scared on the ground. How would I be able to do this?
Id start with this video ☺️

Hello i just have one so should i wait for two weeks to let it out of it cage
You can be the judge of how they are doing. Are they curious to get out or are they scared and alert?
my bird loves to land just in recyclable egg shell holder things,my bird is scared of perches or anything stick type,except the ones in its cage :3
Thats so funny because my birds are scared of the egg cartons 😂
@@mimisbirdhouse haha 😭
I have a Lutino Quaker. It’s been 3 days. First day she didn’t move at all in her cage. She’s starting to make noises and move a lot more in her cage. I want to let her out the cage but I’m scared. She still hides in a corner of the cage if I get close to it. And when I put my hand inside the cage to change her food she tries to bit me. She also doesn’t have her feathers clipped. Should I wait a little longer to get her out?
I think you can start by just leaving the door open. I dont know if she will come out but itll help her get out of that corner knowing she isnt trapped, but of course id keep my distance from the cage to let her have space (unless changing food and water)
I have a question 😅 I have a baby african grey (3 months old) and I keep him in my PC/office room - I'm in that room 90% of the day. He is on a perch outside of the cage most of the day. He sometimes flies to my chair to get scratches and attention. He is content overall. My main issue is when I have to put him in the cage if I go to the store or bathroom for example (I don't leave him outside of the cage unsupervised). He starts to scratch like a chicken in the corners of the cage until I take him out or climbs and flies/jumps from one top corner of the cage to the bottom perch. What can I do so he understands that sometimes he needs to stay in the cage for his own safety?
Theres a few things you can do.
1. Give him a little treat when you put him in, say “ill be right back I love you” in a soft voice.
2. Keep some soft music in the background, classical or lofi, just something to make him feel like he has company.
This is how I taught my birds and yes they still anticipate my return but they dont lose their mind waiting for me anymore
@@mimisbirdhouse thank you so much! I will try that
Quick question if my bird like has noooo idea how to step up is it ok to let her out?
Depends how comfortable you feel, if any of the scenarios occur and your room is safe for them to come out are you comfortable with doing the lights off and towel method if it comes to that?
Hii! I have got a cockatiel and it has been a week. Now he has been caged since she was born (my relatives took care of it before me) i want to let it out bc i feel like its trusting me slowly but my mom is scared. Took me days to try and convince her, she seems more comfortable w the idea. I really wanna let it out and it screams a lot and i know it want to get out. Do u have any recomendation on this?
My biggest one’s is lights on, windows closed, blinds or curtains drawn. If its been locked in a cage it may not have good flight ability or control. Keep the environment calm, quiet, and minimal people. The smallest thing could spook them.
@@mimisbirdhouse oh thank you so much! Then i think i will let it out when im home alone so he doesnt panic. Thank you again:)
What does it mean when you try to get them out and they run from you
They are scared of you. Please refer to my channel intro video on gaining their trust
Hello! I've had my cockatiel for about two weeks and a half now, and I was wondering if it's safe to take him out when he doesn't know how to step up yet?
He only puts one foot on my finger so far while I give him treats 😅
If you see he feels comfortable with you somewhat, like stepping a bit on your finger, and the environment isnt spooking him, then feel free to open the cage door. Follow the safety steps in the video :)
@@mimisbirdhouse ok thank you very much 😊
I have two parrot one of them fly everywere as soon as I take him out and the other dosent fly he looks around
Yes that can happen. As long as they are within one room, with various safe landing spots, they will explore and then go back to their cage to eat. One seems to have an adventurous personality and the other more cautious 😂
I have a conure. He is tamed. But I am scared to let him out of cage what to do??
Its okay dont be scared. You can follow the tips I have in this video, have the door open, be in the room. If you let them out the sooner you can start bonding and getting close to them
I have my budgie named tiny for like 3 years. My mother always told me to not let her out bc she might hurt herself.I tried 1 time but she didnt come out tho. when she is in the cage she get on my thumb a lot and i can say that we have a good relationship.She wasnt alone for 3 years we had another budgie that passed away sadly bc he was way older.I want to make a change and teach her to go out and explore the house.Will it be easy because she was caged for a long time?Btw i feel realy bad that i have her on her cage for that much.Another thing to know is that she have a quiet charachter and she isn't aggressive at all.
It wont be super simple, they may be scared at first, leave the door open a few hours a day, let them slowly realize they can come out because they have been taught they arnt allowed.
Make sure the area is safe for them, windows and doors are closed, they cant see glass, light turned on and there are landing spots.
Thank you so much for wanting to make a change
@@mimisbirdhouse .I have the cage in the living room but i will probably try in another room which is more safe.I will keep you updated 😃
@@mimisbirdhouse 😭😭I NEED HELP.I try waiting for her to get out letting he door open.She didn't seem to be very interested.Then i got her on my thumb and tried very slowly getting my thumb out to see if she wants.At first she flied away.Then i saw that she didn't fly away so i tried to let her out.She got out and she was chilling.She was flying around a bit but not too far.Then she was exploring a bit on the ground.I wanted to give her her time.I tried a bit to get her on my thumb then but she didn't want.I suddenly though that i saw some red spots on her wings and i thought she was injured.I really didn't know what to do.i saw her very carefully she didnt hit anywhere.I tried getting her back at the cage.I didn't catch her but i bringed the cage a bit close to her and i put my hands infront of her so she could go a bit back and get in.She got in finally but it turned out it was the light and there weren't any red spots.I am so dumb.i just got worried🥺.What should i do next time.I think that just letting the door open will be a good idea.I just dont know how should i get her back on cage bc she didn't get on my thumb even tho in the cage she do.She also were ok with me being near her.She just didnt want me to help her i guess.Any suggestions?Sorry for wasting your time btw but it really need help.
@@MS-it7fy Hi so getting them back in the cage theres two ways id go about it, one let them explore on their time, see if they go back in on their own, if its getting late or its been quite a few hours and they wont go on you hand then turn off the lights making the room completely dark, and pick them up and put them back inside. Try to use this as a last resort
@@mimisbirdhouse alr thanks!I wil definitely try again.Idk if today was really a progression with all the drama but we are going to get there😂
I would like to release the budgie in my room, but unfortunately my room has a closet that reaches the ceiling, and there is a space between it and the ceiling. I fear that my bird will get stuck in it and I will not be able to put it down. We usually release them in a room that does not have a lot of furniture, but I would like to try releasing them in my room.
Does the closet not have a door? Or os there something you can use to block that space?
@mimisbirdhouse yes its a normal closet. The difference is that it's too high.. so birds can fly and maybe get stuck in there because of the high, and no, we can't block the space.. the space between the closet and the ceiling approximately 15cm.
@@jamasq ohh I think i know what you mean now, we have something similar in our house. So my suggestion would be this;
Id work on recall training, that way if they get up there they can come back down. Its good to keep in mind they wont be stuck up there but they will be excited at first, curious and just be stubborn to come back down. Eventually they will come back for food or because they got bored, but its still good to have a recall training foundation.
Incase you need a tutorial ;
How To Recall Train Your Bird

So my bird got out of the cage the first time and it wouldn’t come down I didn’t wanna grab it so I played a video on the iPad next to the cage with a birds video on he came down and I also put a millet in the door of the cage so he came down to see the birds on the iPad and then he saw his millet and went into the cage. Please don’t grab them.
I mentioned grabbing them was super last resort if absolutely nothing else worked and you had to get them back in the cage. But im super happy you took your time and got them back in 🫶🏼
Nice advice
I had my bird for 4 days now but she escaped while i fed her once she stood on my hand quite early but my mom grabbed her cause we couldnt get her back in the cage cause she fell behind my closet and ever since shes terrified when im even going near the cage and i dont know what to do she obviously wants to come out but im scared of not being able to get her back without forcing her what do i do?:\
So make sure u pick a day where you can be there for multiple hours. Keep the doors closed, windows covered, keep the room quiet and calm. Dont make harsh or fast movements, limit it to just you in the room. Open the door and sit somewhere in the room. Speak softly to them. Let them out to explore, what I found helped was putting a treat at the top of the cage so they learnt to come back to the cage and hang out there as well. You can try to lure them into the cage by putting a treat inside. Try and let them go back in themselves for their water or food. If all else fails, shut off the lights and grab them with the towel.
If you’re able to keep them out till sunset or their bedtime, then slowly turn off the lights and let them go back in to sleep
@@mimisbirdhouse thank you ill definitely try it when i have alot of time
Haha I was all over the place saying be carful ooo be carful no no don’t go there 😂😂😂😂😂 tomorrow I’m just leaving him to it either a close side eye 🥰 thanks for ur help he will be happy tomorrow like ohh what happened she’s not in my face saying be carful pfffft I can do this uno I can just imagine him talking like that 😂😂😂😂😂🙏🏼
Ahahaha im hoping its going well ☺️
@@mimisbirdhouse I took his food out each morning to try the seeds in hands and it works every time so we’re just bond building at the moment 🥰 but ur vids helped me A LOT 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🫶🏻
My bird haven't been out of cage since I got it 2 months back. Its still scared of my hand and not tamed yet.
Should I let it out of cage in a closed room??
If so, how will I get it back inside?
please suggest anyone...
How is the environment? Calm and uncluttered? Are you being gentle and soft and around them a lot?
You can try opening the door and offering a treat everyday and see if they come closer. They may not, its just patience and persistence.
@@mimisbirdhouse I have only one bird, and its a male cockatiel. It sometimes eats from my hand too. But I haven't let it out of the cage yet. Its almost 2 months with me now since I got him.
Should I try taking it out of cage??
@@daredevil2241 you should let them leave the cage on their own. Just leave the door open while you are present, let them know they can leave when they want. Keep hand feeding them so they continue to be comfortable with your hand :)

Actually it’s been a while since they have been out the cage because Kermit got her wings clipped from groom grooms I know it’s bad my family does to but we never knew they would she’s slowly growing her wings back we let Daisy and Teddy out once but when it’s been a long time Daisy kinda falls on the ground how do I help with that?
Are all of their wings clipped?
Mines out the second day it’s fine
Thats awesome then! Like I said every bird is different and its just about judging when they are ready :)
Hi
I brought pair of cockatiels. They are 1.5 yeats old as per the shopkeeper. Its day 4 that they are at my place. They do eat from my hand from day 2 but they dont step up. My husbakd want them to fly and keep the cage open. Do they come in the cage by themselves if i put food and water in the cage? Or how to catch them to put them back in the cage i am do afraid
my parrots are talking to your birds when i pull up your you tube videos. sometimes they come out to me from their room to see what's going on and did i get a new bird?
Ahahaha 😂 ive heard they become a video for your birds to watch 😝
