I just changed a bunch of perches in my conures cage Ive had them for only 3 weeks and I learned from your channel what is appropriate for them. Well tonight for the first time they have not gone to sleep and its 11:00pm at night! Could they be upset about the change in their cage?
@@BirdNerdSophie bad news, hedwig laid her second eggo even tho she has no nest box. I take the boxes that she goes in but she always finds another box so i gave up :/
hi sophie! a few of my birds toys got mouldy and i found some tiny bugs in the bottom of the basket/in some of the toys (i binned the toys with actual mould on them but i still wanted to clean the rest) so i washed them with vinegar and water then baked them in the oven. somehow i managed to leave them in there for too long and some of the toys/perches went brown. no ashes or anything they are just browned and burnt near the edges. none of them smell at all, would they be ok to give back to my bird?
Hey! If I were you, I'd probably just throw them out if there has been a change in colour in case it's mildew or another mould species! Better not to take the risk!
Hi Sophie 😊 I have a question about F10. When you've sprayed everything with F10, do you need to clean everything with water afterwards? Of course parrots use their toys and wipe their beaks on perches. So I was not certain if I could use F10 and leave it as it is.
For some reason u are much more fussy in cleaning than me but it is so simple 😂 I just take their food and water bowls and wipe the perches (especially the sisal boing there is always a big clump of poop there) and rotate the toys and clean the paper and cardboard in the bottom lol But good video 😄
Lol I wouldn’t say I’m particularly fussy! 😂 takes about an hour to do four cages, the play stand, the foraging tray and hoovering the whole room! I do like to make sure it’s done well though as it makes it easier to keep on top of! 😊
Hi Sophie, thank you for the video! I wanted to ask can you diy substrate by shredding your own paper, and would newspaper be ok for them with the inks? I had heard that you could use anything that doesn;t have the shiny outer layer, like flyers and such?
Hey! Personally I’d avoid anything with print/colours! If it gets wet and your bird goes down there, they can get covered in it! It’s also harder to see the colour and consistency of poops if there’s lots of colours going on 😊
@@BirdNerdSophie Thankyou!! Paper probably harder to pick out the poop I bet too. I am in the US and there really is nothing that compares to easy chick, I'll keep looking.
Hi Sophie, how often do you clean your cages like this, once a week? Im specifically curious about the easichick bedding, do you only have to change it once a week? Would it not be unhygenic for the bird to play in it during the week? I currently use newspaper as a cage lining, and I change it everyday, and use F10 to disinfect it everyweek, and I hate to imagine how much poop can accumulate in the bedding over the week. As you know a GCC poops alot!
We full clean once a well but spot clean it twice a day! I have a substrate video on my channel which you might find interesting! It’s not unhygienic as long as it’s spot cleaned for poop and food twice a day 😊
Hi and thank you for all the helpful information! do you have any recommendations for reducing bird dander? i have tried air filters in and outside of cages.
How informative again! 👍 Hey Sophie, do you know the meaning of 'Ergot'? My cockatiel died yesterday (99% sure) envenomed (poisoned, toxicated) by it! 😭 There was nothing to do on it. Sad greetings from Belgium
Hello! .. I have an African Grey, 2 cockatiels and 2 budgies. Would you say the F10 works better at removing dried droppings than the 'Poop Off' sprays? or is F10 more about killing bacteria? thanks!
I find using substrate a lot easier than cleaning bars. We use cage and coop or care fresh at the bottom of our cages. And use f10 and poo off to clean. Great video. How often do you change the substrate at the bottom?
Hello I just had a quick question sorry if you have already answered this but i just finished clicker training with my bird and I was wondering how i would start target training or integrate it into targeting with him?
Hi sophie, hope its ok to ask? How long are chip n fish out of their cage or indeed in their cage. My Trudy is out all the time apart from nights but as im safe housing for rescue parrots, she's going to need to be in her cage so i can let thd other birds out for awhile. Thank you so much xxx
Hi Vanessa! It varies from day to day but they are usually out for a few hours! The most important thing to remember is to make the cage just as fun to be in as it is to be out and about! 😁💙
Easichick have a store locator on their website which might point you in the right direction! As for F10 and TOPs, I have seen some sites that sell them in Ireland but Amazon might be your most consistent bet!
I have a Parrot. He was losing feathers constantly. I really was getting scared. I never had a Parrot😮. The owner was asking me to shelter him. I immediately agreed. Aaron (I named him) was mistreated by the first owners. It took us about 2 months to understand one another. He was biting me a lot. I had to teach him what biting can do. So, now, Aaron gets a treat from me when Aaron does good. This is how I clean Aaron's Cage daily. 1. I remove all perches, ladders, and toys that need cleaning. 2. Next, I have a spray for bird Feathers. It's called "Ruffled Feathers Bird Bath!" 3. I sprayed Aaron with it, and the following day, I saw Aaron go into his water dish, and took a bath. It was hilarious to watch. 4. Soaking wet. Aaron got to feel better again. 5. I try to bathe him by my Kitchen Sink, but it's not easy to hold him. So, I let Aaron Shower from his Water Dish. 6. I wash Aaron's Cage with Ruffled Feathers Bird Bath. 7. I first clean all debris from Cage, then I use as mentioned on the bottom of Cage. There's a tray underneath the Cage, I also clean this first with water, dry, then I put on a towel Ruffled Feathers Bird Bath. I wash it all around, and put back to Cage. 8. I clean all mirrors with the towel to keep Aaron's Feathers looking healthy. 9. It was less feather loss I noticed. Aaron feels much better too. He doesn't bite himself as before. 10. Is this safe? I noticed a much happier Parrot since I use Ruffled Feathers Bird Bath to clean Aaron's Cage. Thank You! Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Hey! I personally don’t recommend any products to be sprayed on birds! If they are losing feathers, it’s usually due to mental health, physical health or moulting!
Hey I know this isn't related to the video but can we feed veggies 3 times or more every day to our birds? Along with seeds, pellets and sprouted legumes/seeds sometimes ? Question 2: my cocjatiel is 5 month old and not fully weaned yet! I stopped handfeed ingredients her with syringe few days ago because school gonna start soon and I won't have anyone handfeed her for me, so I need her weaned as soon as possible she refuses formula months ago , I wet healthy biscuits and put it in her food bowl so that it's solid food, she eats it, sometimes not enough, when she eats her, her crop get big, not that big tho, is this normal? Because I don't see 5 months old cockatiel crop getting bigger after they eat something, she still can't break seeds, sometimes she breaks them but most of the time she can't , she/he started mimcking me at 3 months old she doesn't look sick , she is very active, sings, whistles and says her name all day long, her bites are not sharp enough yet I saw somewhere saying that younger birds beaks are weaker, I see cockatiels bites are very painful and bleeds, but mine doesn't bite that sharp even tho she is reallly angry, is that the reason she can't break seeds?. **i wonder if she screams all day because she wants me to handfeed her? Months ago, when I used to handfeed her, she would be quiet if not she would scream, she doesn't scream as much she used to do before because she is eating biscuits on her own now, sometimes she eats all of it but sometimes not, as I said, she looks healty and is active. Question 3: Her nails are sharp as heck, i heard because younger birds have sharper nails to grip things? She won't let us trim it!**
Yes you can feed them as much safe veggies as they will eat! I'd expect a 5 month old cockatiel to be weaned by now - might be worth a vet wellness check up - they could clip her name sat the same time!
@@BirdNerdSophie we don't have any vets in here, we have one in other city that is 8 hours away, I thought we did had vets here, that's why I brought a bird knowing she would be safe but after I got a bird, I asked my dad to take her to vet he said there isn't, I searched it too and there isn't any! Today my brother decided give her a little formula and she was eating it, i would have already taken her to vet but there isn't any :( she also just nibbles at her veggies, plays with it, even tho I chopped it up in tiny cubes, I don't think she is eating her veggies.

Birdtricks say don't use any kind of woodchips and stuff. It can cover the bird poop smell if they are sick. If you smell the chips you wouldn't know if the baby is sick or not.
Help!! I’m sorry I know this is out of the subject but I tried to google this and didn’t find an answer.. My cockatiel keep on picking on strange things .. she’s so weird it’s cute but so worrying I did everything I can toys and so on but .. when she was a baby she used to eat her own 💩.. then doors walls . thanks to you I think I feed her well .. multicolored vegs and sprouts which she loves and they have calcium bone none was interested in it .. now which made me write this is she keeps on picking on the cracks in the marble floor .. and my other cockatiels started doing it too they really like it ?? Now her eating and picking weird thing I thought maybe she is lacking some nutrition but the marble!! I don’t understand it do they like eating the grits? I know cockatiel don’t need grits.. is it harmful!! I’m not sure I think they eat it ugh sorry for the long comments but I worry a lot
Cockatiels are ground feeders and are naturally interested in anything on the floor! I wouldn't be concerned unless they were physically eating things rather than licking!
