Thanks for the video. It’s a great way to clean, and not waste time, which is very important these days. Ella seems very happy with you, too! I can tell that you love her very much, and that is so endearing 🥰. I added your channel, so I look forward to seeing more of your videos in the future. Have a great week!, God Bless!
I use my laundry sink to clean Yogi's cage. I use a nail brush and dish soap to scrub the grate and once a month, the toys get javexed and so does the cage. Between that, each bird on the perch and his cage and perches go to get cleaned. I am lucky. They poop on perches but never their toys. My Yogis fav perch is a piece of bamboo with half a hollowed out coconut shell atttached to it, like a big spoon.
Cage cleaning? I hate getting out of bed on those days lol. My Coatimundi and Kinkajou each have large dog kennels that are meant for outdoor use as their indoor cages, i also have c&c cages that make up 4 rabbit cages, 4 guinea pig cages, and 2 hedgehog cages, I also have 2 of those vision cages and all this time had been taking out all the toys before cleaning them lol. Then there is all the other cages in my house. Phew glad I did all that on Saturday lol
When I clean my cockatiels cage, she likes to sit on my shoulder whilst I'm doing everything and she likes to toss anything I'm cleaning when she feels necessary. My male just perches near by and makes a large racket until I finish cleaning :) sometimes cleaning a birds cage can be quite a hassle with some birds XD
I do u understand that birds need to be entertained especially a only bird but the cage does not look comfortable its crowded and messy try a bigger cage with a healthy amount of toys and perches just enough for the bird I would keep two to four and switch them out every week
They are messy little things! I'm glad I just have the one bird and she's little haha. Honestly I dread the winters when I have to take it all apart and scrub scrub scrub! Makes my life so difficult! lol
Nice cage. Ella is very pretty and looks sweet. I have not had good luck with birds. Both of my former parakeets were evil. The first one committed suicide and the second one we found dead in the cage one day out of now where. Ella is spoiled rotten I can tell :)
Hahaha yeah I know that feeling all too well! I do the same. But the odd time I just get in the mood to clean and want it done with so I'll work on them all. Other times they're all spaced out. We're leaving to go camping in less than a week so right now I'm trying to get everything nice and tidy, UGH. lol.
Oh I know! It's because it doesn't absorb anything, then it moulds when it gets wet. Definitely not a good substrate for small pets. But I do like it for the bottom of Ella's cage.
Oh that's interesting! I know it can get gross and mouldy which is why I change it every week or so but definitely good to know! May switch back to newspaper. x
Corncob is not good for their respiratory system, and I use to use it many years ago myself but my birds would throw it out so newspaper is my life saver lol.
Kelly Suzanne Ella couldn’t reach the corn cob as I made sure to keep the layer thin enough that there was about an inch between it and the grate. I didn’t know it could cause respiratory issues but found it to be a pretty useless bedding anyways. I didn’t like the idea of her potentially swallowing it, it went mouldy quickly and did nothing for odour. I too went back to newspaper years ago now. Safest and least expensive!
@@BudgetBunny Yes mine would smell and get moldy also it holds moister that's why it's bad for them. I love my news paper if they ever stop making it I'm in trouble lol. I have two conures getting two parrotlets in two months . I had a linnie but sadly he flew out the door last Sunday still searching for him .
I wish! I really think the only way with her is clipping her wings which I really am not prepared to do so we settle for just being around one another but no touching hahaha.
I clean my cage ever other day. But I'm talking about changing the news paper and washing out the water dish.I only do a major cleaning once every week maybe two weeks. Just clean it when it gets dirty
This is how I clean my cages, I have about 12 cages to clean, plus my bunnies and clean up after my dogs. You should come and see my cage cleaning video of my birds, it will make you tired. lol
I have no problem with cockatiels & parrotlets in the same room. They cannot share a cage. My Lovebird & Quakers have bitten toes on small birds. Parrotlets are fearless & can get hurt.
+Sharon Nusbaum Thank you so much! All of my bird's have their own cage, so it wouldn't be a problem for me to adopt a parrolet. I just wanted to know, because no matter how much I interact and play with him, my cockatiel seems to be lonely, and I figured that he would like a friend that is somewhat around his size.
Oh that's so sad, so sorry to hear about your birds. She actually is a little devil and very territorial. She likes me around but everything has to be her way haha.
Hi there. You said you had cats? I have 2 cats and Smokey (my older cat) always gives the birds a death stair and when we put 1 of our birds in the house he was in protective mode and he went straight to the bird cage. I am moving my 2 cockatiels into my room and I'm scared if he will kill them. Do you know how to stop your cat from doing this.
It depends on where you live and where you get them. The best option is to visit an animal shelter or find somebody near you who is giving away their birds or to find a reputable breeder in your area. Pet shops should be avoided when it comes to actually getting your birds(animals in general) as the animals tend to come from mass breeding facilities, where the animals are treated very poorly. It may be the case though, that a pet store is showcasing animals up for adoption, so if you do see a bird you're interested in, it doesn't hurt to ask the store employees where the bird is from. The most I would pay for a budgie or a parrotlet is about 30 to 50 bucks (give or take & depending on the situation. Plus I live in Germany so I'm talking about euros.). Sometimes you can find somebody who is simply giving the bird away. I'd start with asking family friends if they know somebody who knows somebody etc etc. You might be surprised. Okay, that was a looooong reply. Good luck!
Hi there! I got mine from Happy Perch www.mysafebirdstore.com/PERCHES-HAPPY_PERCH.html although it looks as if they are currently closed due to massive flooding in their state. :(
How much money should I spend on cages and toys and food ETC If I would get one (My mom makes me pay for it all) I had to pay for my hermit crabs and payed a bit more than I wanted because no one told me what I really need.
ProblematiqueAJ cages: it depends on the bird. I found an AMAZING one for 30 dollars for budgies Toys: this might seem expensive but maybe 30 dollars.. they need pirtches (sorry if that's spelled wrong :/). They need a rope, concrete, and wood one. Also a chewing thing which is more classified as food (again this is for budgies). Budgies are a good starter bird so if you want a bird for the first time I recommend them.
Your sopose to talk in a normal voice when talking to your bird so your bird doesn't get scared when you use your normal voice and so they can get used to your voice don't talk in a high pitch voice all the time.
Quazi you don't have to because that bird has been with her for years so she can talk like that if she want to. That rule is only for people with new birds and birds that are not tame.
Thank you :) She certainly has a....unique...personality ;)
Where did you get the perch that sticks onto your window?
Bless Murray laying on the floor elia is super cute and She has a lovely home your a great owner
Thank you! Sadly she passed last June. I still miss her terribly. x
Oh no sorry to hear that poor ellia x
That is one VERY happy bird at the end!
Really want a budgie but my parents say no! 😭
budgies are better than dogs tell them youll keep it cleano
Abbie Brooks tell themm youll keep it clean
I feel bad for you
Same
My parents said no to but I’m still trying
Well you have to to get all the poop off them! :)
Hahaha usually I put on youtube videos I've already watched. :) And I'm more worried about the flippin' bears! lol
She's gorgeous!!
Thanks for the video. It’s a great way to clean, and not waste time, which is very important these days. Ella seems very happy with you, too! I can tell that you love her very much, and that is so endearing 🥰. I added your channel, so I look forward to seeing more of your videos in the future. Have a great week!, God Bless!
My little Annabelle looks just like her, she hates bags too!
That's awesome! Can you show us you cleaning chandlers cage next? :D
I use my laundry sink to clean Yogi's cage. I use a nail brush and dish soap to scrub the grate and once a month, the toys get javexed and so does the cage.

My Yogis fav perch is a piece of bamboo with half a hollowed out coconut shell atttached to it, like a big spoon.
Could you make a video on winter cage cleaning?
ive always wanted a bird!
Cage cleaning? I hate getting out of bed on those days lol. My Coatimundi and Kinkajou each have large dog kennels that are meant for outdoor use as their indoor cages, i also have c&c cages that make up 4 rabbit cages, 4 guinea pig cages, and 2 hedgehog cages, I also have 2 of those vision cages and all this time had been taking out all the toys before cleaning them lol. Then there is all the other cages in my house. Phew glad I did all that on Saturday lol
I have a parrotlet and a Green cheek conure so I will clean both of their cages like that
awesome! Could you do a video on basic care of Parrolets?? They seem like fun birds!
This is genius. I have to get our faucet fixed outside to do this with my cage!
That's a really nice playstand!
How a cute 🦜💚
Could you do more videos on Parrot information?
When I clean my cockatiels cage, she likes to sit on my shoulder whilst I'm doing everything and she likes to toss anything I'm cleaning when she feels necessary. My male just perches near by and makes a large racket until I finish cleaning :) sometimes cleaning a birds cage can be quite a hassle with some birds XD
You crowded the cage alot
I do u understand that birds need to be entertained especially a only bird but the cage does not look comfortable its crowded and messy try a bigger cage with a healthy amount of toys and perches just enough for the bird I would keep two to four and switch them out every week
Angie Hu I have way more than that you should watch flock talk she has incredible Care for her little adorable parrotlets and her canary.
Every bird is different, some love lots of toys and some love only a few.
BestBetta seen before
Normally these birds don't need that much toys because you should keep them in pairs and they always will be happy and entertained with each other
I want a bird!🐦
Could you do more videos on ella?
They are messy little things! I'm glad I just have the one bird and she's little haha. Honestly I dread the winters when I have to take it all apart and scrub scrub scrub! Makes my life so difficult! lol
i just clicked on your video and i is so fun and interesting to watch
Where did you get your window bird perch ?😊
Birds are messy little animals, aren't they? My doves and parakeets were messy too, but birds are so much fun to have!
Haha the dog laying on the floor at 3:29
Nice cage. Ella is very pretty and looks sweet. I have not had good luck with birds. Both of my former parakeets were evil. The first one committed suicide and the second one we found dead in the cage one day out of now where. Ella is spoiled rotten I can tell :)
I'm getting one that looks just like that,a hen.
We have the exact same cage
What bedding do you use for the bottom?
"Are you my little goose?" Lol!
Oh messy birdy!!!
Lol I am definitely going to check it out! I'm tired just thinking about it! Haha.
BudgetBunny could you do a vid of what you feed Ella and Beaker? seed, pellets, veg and fruit? and amounts??
Hahaha yeah I know that feeling all too well! I do the same. But the odd time I just get in the mood to clean and want it done with so I'll work on them all. Other times they're all spaced out. We're leaving to go camping in less than a week so right now I'm trying to get everything nice and tidy, UGH. lol.
The green bird’s beak looks like it’s not doing too well. But it might just be me!
I clean bowls every day (sometimes twice if she makes a big mess) and the whole cage every 2 weeks.
Oh I know! It's because it doesn't absorb anything, then it moulds when it gets wet. Definitely not a good substrate for small pets. But I do like it for the bottom of Ella's cage.
My vet doesn't recommend corn cob bedding because it contributes to bacterial growth!
Oh that's interesting! I know it can get gross and mouldy which is why I change it every week or so but definitely good to know! May switch back to newspaper. x
Of course! :)
Hahaha me too! I hate to clean and if it allows more time to enjoy my pets then be cleaning them out I'm all for it! :)
Does ur bird not fly into the window? my budgie has does that if we don't close the curtains 😣
Your bird is so cute ♥♥
I love birds and I have one of my own
they make great pets♡♡
Does your bird stay by you even if it can fly?
so cute ^^
Corncob is not good for their respiratory system, and I use to use it many years ago myself but my birds would throw it out so newspaper is my life saver lol.

Hey that's what I do lol my birds make such a mess and I end up cleaning my cage like every 2 weeks like completely dismantling everything
I wish! I really think the only way with her is clipping her wings which I really am not prepared to do so we settle for just being around one another but no touching hahaha.
como haces para tener esas plumas tan hermosas
Sure :) I'm no bird expert though! Haha
That tires me out just reading it! Hahaha.
I have the cage and the pet Keeper said to take the great of and as it hurt their feet
didn't know you watched theese videos twins! 😂
When do you clean your cage?
Once a month?
I need tips because I am going to get a parrotlet.
Hi there these answers are all in the description. ^ Good luck with your new parrotlet. x
I clean my cage ever other day. But I'm talking about changing the news paper and washing out the water dish.I only do a major cleaning once every week maybe two weeks. Just clean it when it gets dirty
animalvideios
SAME
i just got my budgie they r very quiet plz help
Sure :)
Thanks! its ok im just looking for some guidelines :DD You most defiantly are a rabbit expert though!
This is how I clean my cages, I have about 12 cages to clean, plus my bunnies and clean up after my dogs. You should come and see my cage cleaning video of my birds, it will make you tired. lol
How do I stop her from flying not windows
Can Parrolets be around parakeets and/or cockatiels? I already have 2 parakeets and 1 cockatiel, and now I'm thinking about getting a Parrolet.
I have no problem with cockatiels & parrotlets in the same room. They cannot share a cage. My Lovebird & Quakers have bitten toes on small birds. Parrotlets are fearless & can get hurt.
+Sharon Nusbaum Thank you so much! All of my bird's have their own cage, so it wouldn't be a problem for me to adopt a parrolet. I just wanted to know, because no matter how much I interact and play with him, my cockatiel seems to be lonely, and I figured that he would like a friend that is somewhat around his size.
Why can't you put paper under the grate on the bottom??
Every bird owner prefers different stuff, so she might just like that and find it easier than paper
Oh that's so sad, so sorry to hear about your birds. She actually is a little devil and very territorial. She likes me around but everything has to be her way haha.
Is this cage good for budgies and or cockatiel s ?
Do you clip your birds wings
No, (she mentioned in a video once )Ella has full fight
Lol my name is Ella! Btw, is it okay if I name my budgie Beaker? I really love that name!
Hahaha thanks
Hi there. You said you had cats? I have 2 cats and Smokey (my older cat) always gives the birds a death stair and when we put 1 of our birds in the house he was in protective mode and he went straight to the bird cage. I am moving my 2 cockatiels into my room and I'm scared if he will kill them. Do you know how to stop your cat from doing this.
My cat killed my canaries both of them! I forgot to put her in the other room .
how do you get rid of the bird smell
A bird shouldn't smell? If it does I'd take it to the vet...
Can you do a hamster cage cleaning? Love your videos!
if she cant get to the bedding what is the point of it O.o why not just use news paper
Hi BudgetBunny! I was wondering how often you clean Ella's cage out? Thanks!
Hi there! I would do a quick clean of Ella's cage weekly(ish).
did youclip your parolets wings?
No she has full flight.
how often do you clean your cage
Shink Anims it gets dirty every 5 minutes LOL
these bird fly wild where i am from
My parrolet has not even bonded with me. She prefers staying in cage
Hello please answer how much are they
It depends on where you live and where you get them.

where did you find your window perch?
Hi there! I got mine from Happy Perch www.mysafebirdstore.com/PERCHES-HAPPY_PERCH.html although it looks as if they are currently closed due to massive flooding in their state. :(
+BudgetBunny I make them also my page is on Facebook Playin' with your bird it's called
How much money should I spend on cages and toys and food ETC If I would get one (My mom makes me pay for it all) I had to pay for my hermit crabs and payed a bit more than I wanted because no one told me what I really need.
+LetetAJ I make toys cheaper than stores we are just putting things on our page but check it out Playin' with your bird it's called on Facebook
ProblematiqueAJ cages: it depends on the bird. I found an AMAZING one for 30 dollars for budgies
Toys: this might seem expensive but maybe 30 dollars.. they need pirtches (sorry if that's spelled wrong :/). They need a rope, concrete, and wood one.

can you give a bird a bath
Birds give themselves baths.
Shop vac. Lol, it's all about the shortcuts my friend.
nice cage, but parrotlets like to fly horzontally
You had bird, didn't see that coming and do u still have Ella?
Your a great bird owner! But just be careful because having to much toys in your bird cage can make them uncomfortable and just a little scared🐥
Lol you have so much toys in your birds cage theres not much space to fly
Those birds roam free where I live in the UK.
Simply Olivia . Parrotlets living wild in the UK? ????
Does it
I Know birds should have toys but not that mini because the cage can become crowded and the bird will not have room when it wants space
My mum is happy for me to get a budgie but my dad is like, No.
Shar 11 mine are the opposite...:(
Deston Kang I ended up getting two!!! My dad didn't know till I brought them home though😂😂😂
Shar 11 😂😂😂😂😂 Gd job!!! Still a no from my mum😔😔😔
Omg same! I really want a parrotlet
is it okay if I use baby wipes to clean my bird cage? ?
It's best to use a safe disinfectant, such as 50/50 water and vinegar or steaming hot water.
BTW Albions you can use bird specified wipes
Too much toys
His lucky
:D
First view and comment.
I can take my bird out of its cage it won't even let me touch it
Second view and comment
Your sopose to talk in a normal voice when talking to your bird so your bird doesn't get scared when you use your normal voice and so they can get used to your voice don't talk in a high pitch voice all the time.

Quaz
It's crazy how thay can mess it up 😀 My Buggies are much better with that 😀
U have a dog
That's a hugh cage for just one
The Gamer King it’s actually pretty small. My parrots all have cages double that size
