I also think that natural wood perches are quite pleasing to the eye and do not offend a human's sense of aesthetics... We use apple branches we have harvested ourselves knowing they had never been sprayed. Putting it all away because of "company coming" would be folly. Unfortunately, I can't say the same for some of our picture frames and lampshades: some deterrents are needed where the budgies are concerned and these are far less aesthetically pleasing... LOL!
The best toy for my grey out of all the expensive toys I have bought him is 3 tin lids from jars . drilled holes in the side of all 3 linked them together with a bit of chain ( a short piece so they don't hang themselves ) and a dog clip to hang it to the roof of their cage , it clangs like crazy and he loves it = cost next to nothing LOL also 6 playing cards with a hole punched in one corner hung on a carabiner ? clip once they wreck the cards just replace it with 6 more , very cheap and keeps them busy .
yvonneost12 - can you post a pic? I don't think I'm following. I'm bringing home my Grey in about a month and I'm making toys now to stock up ☺ I would love to see this one!
Also I made a diy 'natural branch' it was textured, had varieying diamiter and cost me virtually nothing, I got a boring(but thick) wooden dowel perch It took ALOT or time though, it was tedious and I was lucky to get a solid and secure wooden dowel, but I recommend it for a project- just stay safe and make sure it's safe
Love your videos and look forward to seeing them. My AG Lulu is 21 and I have had her since 4 mos. I never had any previous experience with greys so your videos are very helpful. Thankyou
How do you make the wild branches so neat and how do you know if their good for the bird and how do you take the dirt of it What's your strategy? I need to know because I'm planning to make a perch holder for my goffin cockatoo
Subbed, that curvy perch would be a great beginning for a carved snake! Wonder where your Dad found that?

A beautiful branch and bird toys in Smokey's aviary . Would you ming telling us where do you buy the toys from? And what kind of toys work best? Thanks a lot! Love your channel.
Aviary for your bird is beautiful, I am so going to make a similar one for my birds when I get to that point in my life :) What kind of tree is that branch? That's radical. I like the "What do you want Smokes?" "MORE HEADSCRATCHES!"
again excellent information, very helpful! Thank you very much! By teh way, SMokes really is an extraordinary lovely bird! Can birds like SMokey also get dominant and force an owner to cuddle and pet them? And how do you solve that?
Another nice vid! I'm currently considering a stand for Angel, and a quick progress update; he managed to get out of the cage while I put in a bath, and he explored the room for a while and he eventually let me hand feed him and even let me pet him for a short time! He's progressing fast!
Only recently found your videos. Thank you for making them. I am finding them interesting and helpful. I want to find some natural perches for my Grey, but I don't know which types of wood are safe to use. Is there a list of safe vs harmful natural woods to use for perches and framing an aviary?
hit here we sre looking to buy a bird for our home but i do not know which one will be best. i would like a parrot, perf one what i can train to talk ect. do you have any tips?
Hi, love your videos and can't get enough of them. We have a sun conure, she's 2. But we just purchased an African grey. She is about 7-8 weeks old. We will not get her until she is on pellets. Our breeder doesn't like her birds to leave until they are completely ready. I would appreciate any suggestions for me to socialize my conure and African together. They absolutely will have separate cages. My conure is flight trained and I intend to do this with the African as well. Thanks Vicky
Hey, man! I just love your videos a lot! I'm sorry for the following stupid question, but I have seen a video of a guy teaching his birds to fly, have you ever done it too? Do you think Smokey would fly away from you? Cheers from Brazil
I know this is a video about perches and setups but I would like to know how to expose my bird to the sun so it gets enough vitamin D3, i've read on a few websites that direct exposure is bad for the bird and I shouldn't place it near a window so how do I allow my bird to get proper exposure to sunlight?
It is so impressive how much you care about your parrot and that you give him such an amazing home! How much did the aviary itself cost? Where did you get it? :)
Hello! I just got a cockatiel and I would like for you to expand a little bit on what you mean by "sun dry." How and what is sun drying? How long? etc. I am interested in building different stands for my cockatiel. Thanks :)
how did you clean the perches? with boiling water and bleach? I found a huge branch shaped like a tree and I'm not sure what is the safest way to disinfect it ...
Matthew Williams If you do get one, don’t have them in the same cage. You should take little steps and let them get to know each other, first they should be in different rooms but able to hear each other talking. The birds cage should be their own safe place and shouldn’t have another stranger bird in it.
this is absolutely great, the bird looks so healthy which is important to me. Sometimes you see birds that people show, that have half their feathers gone and they show that poor bird. Got to keep them healthy for sure. Great job
Thank you for ALL your videos. I am a new bird owner or is it the birds own me (-: anyway are there any trees we need to stay away from? I live in Florida and we have a lot of beautiful trees but don`t know if any are poison for the birds .Thank you .
s hole Pumice perches are okay to use, avoid cement perches as they can cause sores on your bird's feed. All birds should have access to natural wood branches though.
hey dude I am a big fan of yours and I really like Smoky I have two cockatiels and I am trying to find a good branch of wood in their cage would you give me some tips??
Abdel Rahman Hassan I would recommend you try to find natural (bird-safe) branches if you can. Just be sure to check to make sure the branch is a type that isn't harmful to parrots and hasn't been sprayed with pesticide. I try to find branches where my bird can get a firm grip and be able to hang from it without slipping. If you can't find them, try searching amazon for bottlebrush perches, I haven't used them but hear good things about them.
could you show a video of any foraging toys that I could make? Do you know if it is ok to put pellets or fresh food in such toys for foraging considering spoilage?
Justin Chapman Hi Justin, there's already a video on my channel that will help you make a foraging toy that your bird will love. Let me know if you can't find it.
***** yes I saw it thanks. Do have any ideas about smaller birds? Because my Quaker wont and cant chew into wood very well, any more ideas would be great when you have them because I really like the one you already did. thanks
This new branch would be perfect if it wasn't so slippery (11:44). We use only branches with the bark (safe for parrots ofc). BTW, her aviary is amazing.
Please answer the question: where did you acquire those natural perches? And how can we buy them? ASAP. That is the most important question in this entire video. You cannot find such aesthetically pleasing variations. Answer ASAP.
i want to buy African grey parrot and I live in GA but ive been doing lots of research and now I finally want to bring one home but i c annot find a place where i can get one help please!!
Jay Kniffen natural tannins I the wood make it brown, some kinds of trees produce it naturally, some do not. Ever ever dye anything that goes around your bird
Hi..i have a question.. hope you can help.. i just got an African Grey ,and the first 2 weeks she was talking a lot and learning new words but then i noticed that she stopped talking after my husband place a big thick natural tree branch he found while at work it had a big whole inside like if it was some creatures home ,a bird or squirl... she started chewing on it and every day she cleans it out and shes now inside "the nest" all the time..and she looks very confy .but she stopped talking.. I also have a canary at home that sings all day.. I'm just worried if she stopped talking because of the trunk/branch or because of my other bird.. please help.. .
Juan Luqueno she's feeling very hormonal right now. Treat her as you normally would. If she wants to stay in her nest, let her, if she lays infertile eggs, DO NOT remove them. Let her sit on them for about a month for her to get it out of her system. African greys are wild animals, they need to do certain things. Try offering her food in the nest and put a calcium supplement in her water. If she gets aggressive at you being in her space, then just back off. If she looses interest in the branch for a few hours, take the opportunity to remove it and get rid of it
pupfish1966 I have a video on that on my channel. However, I'm actually in the process of putting together another (more updated) video for those who are nervous about clipping the nails and want to instead file their birds' nails instead. That video should be up next Monday!
This was good. Especially, the comment about manzanita, since I was seriously considering that wood for a perch. What would have been helpful is to show the base of the perch. It was referenced, but not actually show in the video.
Jeff Haynes Hi Jeff, I have a couple other videos where the base was shown but it pretty much was a heavy duty wooden cutting board. If you want an easy clean-up, you could also get melamine from a hardware store. Super cheap and easy to use (they'll usually even cut it to size if you ask them). In addition, if you can't find any natural branches, try using ribbonwood. IMO it looks better than manzanita and offers a better perching surface that isn't so slippery.
***** Thanks so much for the reply and additional information. I'll see if I can find a source for ribbonwood. I had never heard of it before. I'll also see if I can find your other videos that show the base for reference.
Camber Hill That's an excellent question, so I'll take some time to explain it. A HUGE misconception that a lot of people have about flighted parrots is that when spooked, they will fly straight into a wall/window/mirror. To really understand how this works, imagine the last time a wild bird flew into your house. This wild bird, when spooked in the wild, would never fly and crash straight into a tree stump (unless if its a fledgling). However, when this same bird flies into a home and can't find its way out, it crashes repeatedly into the walls/windows/mirrors. I used to ponder why such a master flier would not have any common sense about flying straight into a wall! Well, if you're still with me, it turns out that birds need to be taught what walls, windows, and mirrors are. All three are unnatural for them and when you first flight train a bird, you'll probably notice they'll nearly touch the roof and give a look like they're thinking 'What's this thing above me?" So, I begin by walking my bird around the house and asking her to tap on the glass/window/walls. With her in the room, I use masking tape to tape a large "X" across the window. However, even with all of this, the chances are, she'll probably do some exploratory flights once she builds up enough confidence and crash. Since I've been practicing in a small room, she can't really build up enough speed to injure herself and QUICKLY learn that these should be avoided. I teach her alternative landing spots by targeting her to land on different places around the room. Once these skills are developed, a flighted bird that is well trained will NEVER crash into a wall, window, or mirror again. Smokey has spooked on numerous occasions, but she simply just circles the room and flies back to me or she finds an alternative landing spot, just like how a wild bird knows not to fly straight into a tree trunk! I have found from past experience that when a clipped bird spooks, he always ends up crashing on the floor. A flighted bird (who has been appropriately trained) will never have that problem. Hope this answers your question!
al67lop Hi, remember that he's a bird and birds will poop. Usually, they will poop when you place them on the ground because most parrots don't feel safe on the ground. Because of this, they will want to be ready to take off (fly) upwards onto a higher surface when you place them on the ground. In order to be ready to take flight, they will want to defecate to get rid of any unnecessary weight on them. From what it sounds, there's nothing your bird is doing wrong. I would approach this by training your bird to poop everytime you place hm on the ground. SInce he's already doing this, it should be easy. Then, when you pick him back up, he's less likely to poop on you.
MeAkouTube I like that about him. Id much rather be told more than I need to know than not get enough info when it comes to things I want to learn for my bird.
Its a wonder your bird doesn't spook at the stick being waved around , my grey would shit himself he hates things he doesn't know what they are or hasn't seen before I have to introduce things slowly to him.he's a bit of a wuss like that
Животные
I also think that natural wood perches are quite pleasing to the eye and do not offend a human's sense of aesthetics... We use apple branches we have harvested ourselves knowing they had never been sprayed. Putting it all away because of "company coming" would be folly. Unfortunately, I can't say the same for some of our picture frames and lampshades: some deterrents are needed where the budgies are concerned and these are far less aesthetically pleasing... LOL!
Holy fuck, where does your dad take his long walks when he finds those demonic branches, through the portal to Nether Realm? :D
Groaznic it's just a perch for birds like chill
Very informative. I thought the presentation was a great learning experience for all of us that love our feathered friends! Thanks for sharing, Tim
jeez I wish I had branches like these near me
You are the sweetest and thoughtful bird owner. Smokie is so very lucky to have you.
you are awesome. love the aviary and how much you care about the happiness of the bird.
I love the way you treat your bird, lots of tender loving care❤️
Thank you for all your support!
That's a really beautiful and well trained parrot :)
Hope I can get one someday.....
Beautiful.
The best toy for my grey out of all the expensive toys I have bought him is 3 tin lids from jars . drilled holes in the side of all 3 linked them together with a bit of chain ( a short piece so they don't hang themselves ) and a dog clip to hang it to the roof of their cage , it clangs like crazy and he loves it = cost next to nothing LOL also 6 playing cards with a hole punched in one corner hung on a carabiner ? clip once they wreck the cards just replace it with 6 more , very cheap and keeps them busy .

Thanks So much!!
One question.. could you use plain paper of newspaper??
Please reply ASAP
Also I made a diy 'natural branch' it was textured, had varieying diamiter and cost me virtually nothing, I got a boring(but thick) wooden dowel perch
It took ALOT or time though, it was tedious and I was lucky to get a solid and secure wooden dowel, but I recommend it for a project- just stay safe and make sure it's safe
You make the best videos I have seen so far. Then you
Great video!!!
Wow amazing. It would be great to get a video on types of natural woods that are safe for birds.
Love your videos and look forward to seeing them. My AG Lulu is 21 and I have had her since 4 mos. I never had any previous experience with greys so your videos are very helpful. Thankyou
kapaluatime I'm so glad to hear that! Thanks so much for taking the time to share this with me :)
How do you make the wild branches so neat and how do you know if their good for the bird and how do you take the dirt of it

The perch that Smokey uses inside, is lovely. How or what did you attach it too at the bottom.
Can you use wood that fell from a tree that may be worn & older?
Another nice vid! I'm currently considering a stand for Angel, and a quick progress update; he managed to get out of the cage while I put in a bath, and he explored the room for a while and he eventually let me hand feed him and even let me pet him for a short time! He's progressing fast!
Samuel hull That's great news! How old is Angel?
He's 5 months old :)
What awesome branches! What kind of wood are they?
+wingsNpaws what kind of wire did you use to make smokeys cage out of and we're did you get it?
What do you do with the aviary when it gets cold or rainy??
Only recently found your videos. Thank you for making them. I am finding them interesting and helpful. I want to find some natural perches for my Grey, but I don't know which types of wood are safe to use. Is there a list of safe vs harmful natural woods to use for perches and framing an aviary?
Time for Smokey to go to the Vet she looks sick. I hope you take good care of her.
What an awesome setup. I have a ringneck parrot and I would like to setup something for him outside. Do you worry about stray cats?
hit here we sre looking to buy a bird for our home but i do not know which one will be best. i would like a parrot, perf one what i can train to talk ect. do you have any tips?
What is your opinion on flat platforms and orthopedic perches for cages?
I'm thinking of getting a cockatiel any tips on what to feed him/her
Hi, love your videos and can't get enough of them. We have a sun conure, she's 2. But we just purchased an African grey. She is about 7-8 weeks old. We will not get her until she is on pellets.

What size wire do you use on your Aviary? Had she ever got stuck?
how do u kno if the tree branch is safe or not I wanna start using natural branches
How do you know what wood the branch is?
Can you tell me what you use to stain Smokies toys?
Hey, man! I just love your videos a lot! I'm sorry for the following stupid question, but I have seen a video of a guy teaching his birds to fly, have you ever done it too? Do you think Smokey would fly away from you?
Cheers from Brazil
I am going to pick up some grapewood from the wineries here. I would like to know more about your aviary. Do you have plans on it
Does this only work with a grey bird
how do you know if the wood is safe or not?
Where in California did your dad get that wood? I'm California and I would love to get some of those wood.
how do you know that branch in toxic for the bird?
I know this is a video about perches and setups but I would like to know how to expose my bird to the sun so it gets enough vitamin D3, i've read on a few websites that direct exposure is bad for the bird and I shouldn't place it near a window so how do I allow my bird to get proper exposure to sunlight?

Jeremy FitzGerald1987 Thank you! I'm still learning new things every day :)
^u^ ye! I'm hoping that my mom will get me a Canary some time! I watch your videos all the time to learn how to take care of birds.
how did you clean the perches? with boiling water and bleach? I found a huge branch shaped like a tree and I'm not sure what is the safest way to disinfect it ...
I have a blue fronted amazon and I wanted to know if I could get an African grey and have them in the same cage and or aviary

You should take little steps and let them get to know each other, first they should be in different rooms but able to hear each other talking. The birds cage should be their own safe place and shouldn’t have another stranger bird in it.
what do you most commonly feed your parrot?
Can you share where you purchased the aviary panels and door? Panels i can probably get, building the doors from scratch - not so much Thank You
hi does your bird sleep in the aviary?
Can you do a video on cages and aviaries ie where to buy, what to make with, how to make, etc?
Titanosaurus Indicus I'll try to do a video on this in the future. Thanks for the idea!
this is absolutely great, the bird looks so healthy which is important to me. Sometimes you see birds that people show, that have half their feathers gone and they show that poor bird. Got to keep them healthy for sure. Great job
2:02 that's not a branch, that's a snake! :O jk, but seriously that's crazy! what kind of tree is that and where in the world is this?
Happyist
Maybe java or manzanita
mama's lasagna he said he wouldn’t use that wood.
I.J. Porter why java trees cost a fortune for birds.
At 2:30 - 2:45 Smoke is just like : *thats a hella big tree....."
what does smokey eat?
07:23 "She's gonna poop in a second. And um...you're a bird person!"
Where does smokey sleep in the night?
Thank you for ALL your videos. I am a new bird owner or is it the birds own me (-: anyway are there any trees we need to stay away from? I live in Florida and we have a lot of beautiful trees but don`t know if any are poison for the birds .Thank you .
Billy I would guess no, because there are some wild parrots that do live in Florida
these perches that people use to file down birds toenails are they good for the birds?
s hole Pumice perches are okay to use, avoid cement perches as they can cause sores on your bird's feed. All birds should have access to natural wood branches though.
where do u guys live? I have never seen such branches :)
i have grey parrot and i make for him stand with wood but 2 days after he start to eat it should i make one with iron or what ??
Ginta Soo no iron

How do i confirm that the wood of a certain branch is not bad for the parrot?
If it kills the bird then it is bad for the parrot
+buildabox 29 omg 😂
I just got my budgie two days ago, now I need an aviary? lol
Did you buy, or make the aviary?
Ammon Morales The aviary was bought.
oh okay, where did you buy it from?
So with all her primary wings she could "get spooked" and take flight. How have you prepared to avoid this terrible possibility?

I like this guy, helpful and all, but he takes 15 mins to say 2 mins worth of info =(
MeAkouTube I like that about him. Id much rather be told more than I need to know than not get enough info when it comes to things I want to learn for my bird.
Its a wonder your bird doesn't spook at the stick being waved around , my grey would shit himself he hates things he doesn't know what they are or hasn't seen before I have to introduce things slowly to him.he's a bit of a wuss like that
Dowels will give ur bird club foot and shouldn’t be using them, they’re damaging ur bird
