once you tackle the essentials ( cage /perches set up /bird proofing the house etc...) taking care of the bird itself isnt all that expensive ( at least compared to other pets ...dog cat food prices are no joke 💀) the big issue is the avian vet , in an ideal scenario you will only take them for an annual check up but life aint ideal and you will find yourself taking them every two months or so 😅😅 especially if they are old
I disagree with this. I spent more on food for my budgies than I do on myself cause fresh unprocessed fruits and veggies cost a fortune here. And I want my budgies to eat somewhat healthy diet.
Vet bills are definitely super expensive especially because it can be a surprise but the consistent regular costs I find expensive as well. Id say dogs and cats are expensive if people fed them proper diets such as raw meats, eggs, fruits etc
Luza was so funny and cute in this video, telling everyone to follow you 😂. And your Totoro plushy is so cute 🤭 Yes they get their beaks everywhere and anything, mine are destroying something in my cupboard as i speak 😅. They don't like to play with their toys they just want to play with my art supplies 😭. I am struggling to buy their pellets as they are out of stock from online and they are not available at any shop, i am still searching. But now i think i have to buy Zupreem colored ones. Other brands are just too expensive 🥲
Ahahaha thank you ☺️ Yes really theyd rather our things 😒 Mango is really good with playing with her toys but Luza 😒 Some pellet is better than no pellet. Best to get your hands on the zupreem colored one than nothing ☺️ its pellets at the end of the day
@@mimisbirdhouse yeah! Now i am just gonna wait for 1 more day since i tell a shopkeeper to look for them, if he finds them then that's good otherwise i am getting colored ones, i am tired searching for them 😭
In your other video you said Quaker birds are always talking while you’re on the phone lol so true cause here the bird talking while your talking it’s like she is saying that’s right Yeah I’m expensive I’m not some cheap bird I cost money yeah yeah !! :D 😂
I love your videos! could you do another daily routine video? I love seeing how other people structure their days with birds, I have 3.. soon to be 4 lmao
love this video! I couldn't stop laughing about Luza's speech 😀lol she is so funny! nodding her head 😀 I swear she was saying: "you heard that Human? no dowel perches, lots of treats, fruits, veggies and lots of toys! Take notes!" lmao I love her!
I recommend looking for second hand cages. I managed to get a pretty big one in perfect condition for just 50€! The original selling price was 120-150€ depending on the retailer. Plus the previous owner included some extra perches as a gift
Wow very nice Mimi, I was at your Etsy shop but they ran out the last time I was there for the pop socket… going there right now My Avian vet bill was $620 and for each year checkup ( NYC ) price I find bacterial problems are most common so keeping their cage clean is very important especially when they grab the cage bars with their beaks and grab the food with their cute little foot🥰
Good video and cost breakdown! I'd just add a summary to the end that says "whats theirs is theirs, and whats yours is also theirs" In other words, whatever you own, will own, want to own, or think of owning - think of those as a potential expense as well Lol
Fantastic video! Your transparency will be so helpful to perspective bird keepers.

I can definitely make another one for sometime ☺️

Luza always has something to say I swear 😂
Now multiply this cost times 48. That's how many budgies I have, and yes I'm nearly going broke because of them lol.
Are you breeding? Thats a lot of budgies

Second hand cages are amazing and it definitely slipped my mind when mentioning it in the video so thank you for the comment ☺️

Oh thank you ☺️
Yes cage cleaning is tough! I found that steam cleaning helps so much!
@@mimisbirdhouse steam cleaning sounds good, gonna look for one

I like this saying :)
i was wondering what you do for work? I have a few birds and need to work from home but I'm not sure what options are good!
I mainly have my small business and social media :) theres remote office jobs, graphic design, coding, etc which are great options :)
Just bought 3 pop sockets
Yellow for my yellow Quaker 🥰🥰
Thank you so much for your support I really appreciate it ☺️!
Do you trim your parrot's beaks? or do you just go to the vet?
I go to the vet ☺️
So cute 🥰🥰🥰🥰 from coco Babeis by musab malik
My annual vet cost is 80$
Including bloodwork and Fecal check? :o
@@mimisbirdhouse with bloodwork it would probably add 100 but it was 80 for the check up including nail and beak trim
$50 a month for toys? Pfff! Just give em a couch. That'll keep em busy for years! 😂
LMAOOO not a bad idea 😂
Lol😂
