    Observing your budgie is a very important point! Once you get the habit of watching them, you can easily tell what they need/want or how they feel, even the slightest!

    There is a real problem for me
    In where I live there are NO vets for birds. Only for cats and dogs.
    I'm scared if its sick what do I do ;-;
    Edit: I would like to share something with you guys, whose bird friends are sick. Do not search for get clinics. Vet clinics in smaller countries are often only for dogs and cats. Try searching for qualified vets who work from home. I suggest joining a Facebook group or something with people who own birds from your town. That way you can find a vet easier.
    I hope that helps
    And a little update on my bird: She is okay! Her legs are paralyzed, so she has trouble walking and she can't grab stuff but she is as healthy as ever

      In that case, you will always have to make sure that your bird is 100 percwnt healthy, his her cage, food and water is clean. Be sure to provide him a varied diet. They often become sick in winter. U can use a fleece bla ket for that. Hope that helps.

    I just adopted a second budgie and it's absolutely amazing to me that she's not a picky eater! My 9 year old budgie, Spock, is a ridiculously picky eater, but my new birdie Sasha (who is only a few months old) will try absolutely anything! her favorites foods are raspberries, peas, spinach, millet and even pellets! She's a natural healthy eater and I honestly celebrate every day when I'm cleaning her food bowls over how little food I have to throw out!

      SeabassFishbrains Wow that's so great that you adopted a second one! (I'm sorry for the super late reply lol) Younger birds tend to try more foods and when they age they stick to foods they like and they are less interested in new foods. It's so great how you are giving Sasha a variety of food to choose from, and I hope you and your budgies have been well!

Getting a companion for Spock was one of the best choices I ever made (I finally got the courage to go against the outdated advice of Spock's breeder who had said that Spock would stop interacting with me if he had another companion) and both birds have flourished so much, they're both happier and healthier for having each-other

    • @Gabdube
      @Gabdube 6 лет назад +3

      Yeah, I used to be against clipping flight feathers, but it's really an important safety measure if you live in a place that has cold winters, or just about anywhere that parrots don't live in the wild. Dying of cold, thirst or hunger while being terrified and confused is a cruel and horrible way to die.
      And definitely _do not_ buy a parrot at a pet store, especially if you don't live in a tropical country. Breeding parrots should be illegal in countries that have cold winters. So many birds die in minutes after flying away in the winter.

    • @SeabassFishbrains
      @SeabassFishbrains 6 лет назад +2

      GabDubé I have to say, only an irresponsible owner leaves the window open when their birds are out. Get screens and don't let your birds outside without a proper aviary or harness if they aren't free flight trained, don't make them hang out outdoors in the winter either aviary or not. Indoor flight and recall training is the responsible thing to do when you own a flighted bird. It is perfectly acceptable to own a parrot if you live in a colder place as long as you keep your home heated properly and keep your birds indoors. Clipped birds don't get a healthy amount of exercise which leads them to end up at a higher risk for fatty liver disease which can be fatal. There are a handful of legitimate reasons to clip a bird (like if the bird is a horribly clumsy flier and isn't tame enough yet to be flight trained, or you're moving or taking your bird to a ton of vet appointments and you don't want your bird to take a fright flight in an unfamiliar or potentially unsafe environment) but the only reasons that people present to clip all captive birds are tied to irresponsible ownership.

      Teflon cookware (pans, pots ect with teflon) let off toxic fumes that can make birds ill. its actually not good for humans, either. Try using stainless steel.

    Good video though I don't agree with the seed diet.
    Seed should only be used as a last resort for diet. Even if paired with fresh fruits and veggies. Pellets are ideal as they are packed with more essential nutrients that budgies, conures, cockatiels and other household birds require (and ideally should be given with fruit or veggies). Converting a bird to pellets is tricky but it is worth it. My conure won't eat plain looking pellets (I tried to convert her) but loves her fruity pellets. If your flock eats pellets then when a new bird is brought in, teaching it to eat pellets is a breeze because it will naturally take its cues from the other birds.
    I had four budgies on pellets with zero issue. I had two young ones that I started with and got them on pellets easily then all the rest that came into the family fell into line quickly. I only used seeds as a treat or if I am rehabbing the bird (I had a stressed/anxious male budgie and I needed him to eat so I hand fed him for a few days and gave him seeds until his strength came back and he ate his pellets again).
    You're right about young birds. They are easier to teach habits and introduce foods to. This is also when you want to bring in pellets.

      maximum_bird my budgies are rescues and they refuse to eat pellets! I'll mix it with the seed the shelter gave them, and the jerks will pick out the pellet and toss it down. I've tried a different pellet sizes and brands. I tried to get tough with them and take all the seed out and just give them pellets leaving it for a few days, but I was afraid they were going to die, because they didn't eat at all and just fluffed up and got quiet... So now they get seeds, I'll try pellets every now and then but they refuse. This has been a 3 year battle. Our vet says they are in great shape and not over weight. ... They do always get veggies, they aren't fond of fruit either. They are picky lil things. its real frustrating

    @lynnmorrison 5 лет назад

    I have 10 Parakeets in a cage and I change the food twice a day and clean water sometimes 3 times. But Sometimes I have to change the water more often because it gets dirty. They get plenty of treats and fresh food that I eat like slices of bread, bananas, and other bird-friendly treats.

    I really like the black one you have inside the cage I would like to get that one

    Alen, i own 2 budgies, Atlantic and Pacific. Ever since i got them, Atlantic’s beak (the female) has turned dark brown, and Pacific sleeps all day and doesnt sleep at night, also, i domt have an avian vet near my area. The only vets are for dogs and cats.

    Hey guys, i love watching your videos and they really helped me with my parakeet. My bird can perch on my finger, but when I try to take her out, she flies back to the cage likes she’s very scared of the outside part of the cage. I wanted to ask, how do I have her comfortable outside the cage.
