- Hey friends!
What doing, I got so excited about my first video I could wait to upload my second. Decided to take you along with me as I cleaned Hams FILTHY cage, have you witness our daily arguments and see how glorious Ham is when it's bath time! Would love to hear your ideas on future videos, look forward to more. (All cleaning products I use are safe for Ham)
Enjoy!
"say bye!"
Ham: HELLO
He's a defiant creature.
that's one way of saying "no! lets keep playing!"
Hamlet is such a character,your such a good mum and beautiful lady Bridget ,love to you both
You two are so cute together!!!! ♥️♥️ Thanks for the liner tip! My source does not offer pre cut bottoms anymore! Puppy pads it is!
So darn adorable
I use different containers, sometimes plastic storage containers, cake pans work great and I have an outside bird bath inside. More water more mess but my girl likes to submerge. They do prefer the shower though, or maybe it's the steam or just the communal aspect. Everything they do is more fun if I'm involved apparently, esp eating which is tough because they sometimes stop eating and that's because I have severe Crohn's and will have long periods where my food is mostly drank. That's when I have to pretend to eat but they caught on and now they demand I prove I'm eating! Lol...my little caretakers. Mine are scared of new stuff, why? I have no clue.
I push the whole cage in the shower. Lol ❤ and I use puppy pads too.
this was soo Awesome I subscribed
I had a male and female pair of budgies who bred. Two of the female chicks stayed here. I hung a large wooden toy in the cage and the ladies were horrified. He wasn’t delighted either, but later the same day, he sat on one side of the cage and as my husband said, “held court,” talking calmly at length in Parakeet (his native tongue) as the ladies listened intently. I believe he was telling them “If we just ignore the monstrosity, the human will soon take it out,” which I did.
I used to get clean 2x2s and 2x4s from a local woodshop tip or construction site. I'd get pieces 3, 4, or 5 inches not more than 1 1/2 inches thick, split and shortened with a hatchet, hung inside or top of cage with white jute, looks like real thick string. He'd reduce it to little pieces in no time. Also had a huge supply of cardboard egg cartons. Tie half a carton to the top of the cage, and destruction would soon follow. Kept him busy and his beak trimmed.
😂😂😂😂😂
Seems, like cats, parrots rule the roost!
So relatable. 😆😂🤣
Bwahaha!!! Same! My parakeet thinks anything new is evil and he must stay on the opposite side of the cage. He won’t even eat millet, which he did at the place I got him from. I left one in at Christmas for 3 days, never touched it. 😂 I took it out and decided not to waste my money.
He was looking at the bowl thinking, 'Are you serious? This isn't a bath, it's a very small hand basin. I want a BATH-sized bowl! WITH BUBBLES!'
thats what I thought too.My conures bath is three times that size.
@Crystal_Seeker71 she has tried bigger bowls,he won't use them, she said! 🤷♀️
I could legit watch you two all day long. The banter is 10/10 & exactly how I talk to my pets too 😂🩵
Ah, now i know my bird isn't the only one doing the "out of battery smoke alarm" sound😂so cute but annoying!
not as annoying as the whistle my brother and step dad do, my mum had an african gray who picked up said whistle .... think smoke alarm but much louder and higher pitch
I have a 19 year old Senegal (I've had him since I was 12) and he turns into a big jerk when I clean his cage, too. Hehe. All these years and it's the same thing.
"Say bye!"
"HELLO"
Amazing.
“You might have a sharp beak but I have many teeth” 😂😂
I use puppy pads too for my eclectus, I buy them in bulk boxes of 400 and they are amazing lol
That bowl is way too small for a bath bowl. I'll find out your postal and i'll send you a bow for him that's big enough, it just needs to be shallow, its not the size that he has an issue using its the depth
Can you send a link ? My beautiful zazu would love it
I wonder if a two quart dog bowl would be good. I think the ones we had were about the same depth, just a larger diameter. You can put them in the dishwasher, too, if they’re stainless. They make ones that hang on dog crates, so they might work on bird cages, too.

I have looked for a XXX large hook on the outside of the cage, for a bath bowl for years.
Any help please? Thanks Keith.

Okay I have to ask. Is this the original page of Bridget and Hamlet? And what name is the reels on Facebook and Instagram under?
This is the OG page my sunshine! On instagram, I am under Bridget Chant on both.
@@Chantyb97 thank you! I wanted to be sure to support you and Hamlet and not a fake account. Good day to you and Ham
@Chantyb97 Yeah, there's some fake reels on facebook by a creator called "Drapet", and they've even stolen the cartoon logo of you and Hamlet. There's also a "Bridget.Chant" btw, but from your reply, I guess yours is "bridgetchant"? The only problem is that it's not clear how you'd report that this is stolen content under the options they provide...
oh Hamlet... u gotta let Mum make your house look a royal castle
So awesome to get Hamlet updates again! Bridget, it's so wonderful watching you and Hamlet on here. The silliness and cuteness Ham shows is so darn adorable. Thank you Bridget and Hamlet! ❤❤❤❤
Parrots have the market cornered on silliness.
I had a perch in my shower for my Ringneck- but his fav thing was preening my wet hair as I used the blow dryer to dry him off. I miss him. He was 32 yrs old, raised him from 4 weeks old.
I'm confused. There is Bridget Chant, and there is another one, something like ChantyB7 (sorry, can't recall exactely) and yesterday I found out one is fake?? Wich one ???
This is the Only one I have babes, the other is a copy
This is the real one.
My ex-wife's parrot was a complete pig. He totally hated when I cleaned his cage and vacuumed the floor around his cage. He did, however, loved getting wet. We had a spray bottle to wet him down.
We all hated when boys sanctuary room was invaded by moms for whatever reason 🤣
I love how he’s giving his bathtub heartwings! Got me..soulmate…
Your bird is beautiful. I have a white budgie and he gets up set when I clean his cage as well. He also talks alot He has a vocabulary of about 100 words now .🎉
Speaking of drowned rats, you should have seen the Rainbow lorikeets who visit me! This morning they were completely soaked through from the rain we're having in Sydney.
They looked like they put some gel in their feathers for some punky looks.
rain or deliberately playing in puddles? My rescue pet lorikeets identify as half duck & go nuts at bath time (well sometimes, other times they refuse, but when they're in a bathing mood, there's no stopping them - and they like really cold water too). Wouldn't surprise me at all if the wild ones were intentionally giving themselves the drowned rat look, especially with the warmer weather
@@mehere8038 Haha yes one time one of them jumped into the shallow small water bowl I gave them to drink from.
So cute.
@@beardymcbeardface69 lol yeh the species LOVES water! Is kinda funny, the cockatoos HATE it, but lorikeets LOVE it. I saw a video a while back where some construction type workers had put some water in their lunchbox to give the lorikeets a drink & a dozen or so of them had decided it was bath time & by the time they'd finished, the "bath" was dark brown, but they were STILL jumping into it & bathing & fighting over it.
My neighbour's got a bird bath & the lorikeets & noisy miners LOVE it
For my pet rescue ones, I mostly set up a bunnings plastic birdbath in my bathroom & the entire bathroom is DRENCHED by the time my boy's finished! My girl's more delicate, but still wets stuff prettywell. She also likes small baths so yeh, little drinking water container is just perfect. She looks very cute just sitting in a bowl she only just fits inside too :)
My pet ones, for water containers I use tiny containers, so as to keep the water drinkable & available, cause larger & yeh, it's jump in time at random (not to mention poo into constantly) but even with tiny ones, we still have times where it's "lets fit my entire head into the waterbowl & drench it" lol when my boy does that, I know it's bath time & get him a proper bath, but then half the time he decides he's finished his bath by the time I can set it up & refuses to use the proper bath after that, ah parrots!
If you have space, you should consider getting a birdbath, it's hours of entertainment :) The bunnings $30 plastic ones are really good, nice & light weight, so easy to move around, but a good depth for birds & edges are have lots of holes along them, so they're grippy, so the birds seem to really like them. Kitty litter trays are also a great size & very loved I've found
@@mehere8038 I wish I could get them a proper birdbath, however I unfortunately can't since I live in an inner city apartment.
So at the moment the best I've been able to do for them is provide small bowls (more like plates with high lips).
My girlfriend is a ceramicist so we've talked about making some rectangular ceramic bowls to run the length of the window sill. Hopefully we'll get that done.
I'm shocked at how friendly and bold the wild lorikeets can be. After maybe 6 months of developing trust with them, they got to the point that they'll fly in from outside, into my lounge room, or even through the lounge room and into the kitchen, and land on my shoulder, as if to ask where their breakfast is.
Sometimes they'll land on my computer monitor and wait for me to attend to them.
Your birds look very happy!
Ham bathing is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen
I had a little peached face lovebird that would fly from his room every morning to me in the kitchen where I was filling up his water dish. He would land on my shoulder and walk down my arm to my cupped hands that were full of water. Then he would proceed to take a bath in my hands.
Love it Bridget & Hamlet 🥰 … you really make my day. The goodbye/hello at the end is classic timing 😂
5:10 my favorite part. Say goodbye..."HELLO!" It is as if saying, "They cant leave!" 😅
1st time watcher here (or what you call it) on your channel. Sweet bird. Seems funny. Will check more videos. 😁
This is so cool Bridget.Your videos are now entertaining (which they always were) AND informative. ❤🙋😊
Hi Bridget and Ham hope you guys are well sending love from Scotland in the UK ☺️❤️
I had two macaws growing up and I loved taking care of them...taught them many phrases, even the bad ones...I also taught them how to drink out of a cup, how to shake and how to head bang to rock music...I taught them to ask for water if they wanted a bath...it was so fun to watch them spread their wings in the "rain" I created from a hose...I taught them how to beat box a few songs...sadly they have passed away...birds are the new Dinos
You know Hamlet is the boss and our jobs as bird parents is to serve them lol lots of love from New Jersey and Ember 💕💖💗
My birds like to be misted with a spray bottle. I scrub my cages every Friday morning before I come to work. Of course papers are changed daily. I put a piece of thin plexiglass on top both of my cages to keep the birds from pooping down in the cage and soiling their perches and toys. Sometimes I put my mustache parakeet in my kitchen sink and soak him really good with the sprayer. He likes that better than the sprayer bottle.
You guys don't lack personality!
Do you change your smoke alarm battery? Your bird - that mimics - has a very real tell!
That "growl" he was doing, my dads quaker does it too and we call it motorboating. However, he loves when his cage gets cleaned out and will do double chirps
So once a week is the time you would clean the cage ?? I am starting to watch these videos on birds, I’m considering getting one for the kiddos but I am glad I can see some videos on what the actual maintenance is for these little fellas .
My quaker does that crawl-down-the-arm maneuver, too, when he wants a bath. I'm usually in the middle of washing dishes and have to fight him off until can clear the sink for his shower. Extremely relatable video!
My cockatiel does too 😂 Sometimes I catch her at the edge of the sink about to fly into the dirty dishes and I have to get up and say "NOO!!"
But when I prepare her own plate of water (with leaves of lettuce and strawberry stems I may add! because she refuses to bathe without them) she's suddenly not interested 😂😅
So cute. Our macaw decides when she wants a bath. Makes her way to the bathroom and climbs up on the sink, gives a shout and rocks back and forth. Throw old shower curtain rod up for her and she’ll hang out under there for a long while. And then I sneakily go clean her cage while she’s preoccupied haha. Birds are great.
Is that high pitched screeching his annoyed sound?
My cockatiels used to love getting in the shower with me. They would have a wash then sit on the railing while I finished my shower.
I wonder if it would be easier for him to clean himself with something wider and shallower than the basin you've been using.
You two are hilarious, love your relationship 💕💕💕
try putting him in the shower for a bit(while it's on), see his reaction. You could spray him with a spray bottle too when its hot out.
Hamlet being an emo again?
I fell in love with a emo birb
We have two ringneck hens and they insist on showing with me everyday 😂. They sit on their shower perch and just get damp they get a real bath once a week. I wish I could add a photo of pearl she hugs me with her wings when she gets a full bath. ❤
The bowl is not too small! My parrotlets also bathe in their water bowl. I have offered larger bowls and different shapes of bowls, but they like their water bowl. To us humans, it seems too small. Birds may want to control how many feathers get wet and how saturated at one time. For survival, they need to fly away from a predator at any moment. My parrotlets keep themselves very clean, so it works!
“Wait a heckin second!” Why is that the best thing I’ve ever heard?!?!
I get pieces of cardboard and tape their surfaces with regular clear packing tape. Then I put them on the floor of the cage of my male Australian Eclectus. This makes them water repellent. I clean the floor of the cage daily with a wet rag and then dry. The cardboard lasts for a month or so before I have to replace it. Also, before I put down fresh cardboard I clean the parrot poop from the perches with vinegar using a rough sponge. Vinegar kills bacteria and is not harmful to the bird. No offense, but you really should clean the bottom of his cage every evening before bedtime. Bacteria build up and your bird could get sick. If you do it every evening it takes 5 minutes.
Hamlet is so pretty. The contrast between his red beak and blue feathers is really nice.
What do , Hello Love your videos always makes me smile .
Kisses 😘
He gets all sideways over his cage. Hilarious!
lol I have the same saga with my rescue lorikeets! The tantrums about getting their cage cleaned are epic! & lorikeet poo is even worse than most with drying into hard sugar! Only way to clean that is hot water or pressure hosing. I only do a really good clean about once a month or so, cause it's not worth the dramas & stress to try more often. I like the puppy pad idea, although I dont' think it would work with my 2, they'd eat it lol. I've got artificial grass mats that I change out daily, take outside, hose & leave soaking wet for a few hours to loosen the poo & even just removing those creates dramas some days. They're not too bad on that though, cause they like the clean mats to roll on their backs & play on.
Have you ever considered a bunnings birdbath for bathing? Mine have their moods & won't always use it, but when they do, they have an awesome splash around in it & really enjoy it :) My girl will only use it if I put her tin inside the bigger birdbath though (and she climbs into that & then holds onto it's edges as she bathes in the bigger bath outside it) so she has first bath with the tin & semi-warm water, then I remove the tin & add cold water & boy has his really good splash & drench EVERYTHING!
I'm amazed you had any water left in the tin with 20 minutes of bathing, my boy would have splashed the entire contents of that dish onto the ground within about 30 seconds lol & my boy will also act like he's forgotten what bathing is & I can spend 2 or 3 hours trying to get him to bathe & fail, then the next day, he'll decide to try to climb into his little water dish! argh!!!!
The “Monty” cartoons have a parrot called Pilsner. He seems to be sentient and knows a lot, only thing, he thinks the parrot in the mirror in the cage is his room mate.
Wonderful chaos! Love it!
Use vet wrap to wrap your perches. Makes cleanup easier, easily replaced and easier on the bird’s feet.
What a fabulous long tail! He needs a bigger dish 😊
I’m loving your longer form content! The editing style is really nice as well :D
Ive been using the puppy pads for my birds. And it cut down on my time to clean their cages up.
Not so hard to understand why/how he learnt that kissing sound! 🤗
I used to tell my cats "I'm bigger than you" too 😀
Hilarious, our male Whiteface Cockatiel Spike has a wobbler when we clean his cage out too. He has a bad attitude too😂
He’s so adorable he never fails to put a smile on my face 😊
Yes. Concrete. I highly recommend getting a small steamer. It helps a lot.
Wait for it..... 3:39 🤣 What a little sweetheart he is. Your facial expressions during this process are pure gold! You both had me very amused.
Hello from Sudbury, Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦 ✌️
I love how you talk to Ham.. it's exactly the way I talk to my feathered boy 🦜 You guys are funny & Awesome !!!! 💚 😃
my daily dose of his royal hamness, and change the batteries in the damn fire alarm
Never commented before, but I love watching you and Hamlet! (I'm a new fan, been watching for 3 months-ish). Love both your personalities! I do the same ritual with our family Indian Ringneck; he has a bath and then I clean his whole cage out. He doesn't actually bathe himself unless the hoover's on, for some weird reason lol. I spray him with a spray bottle: he also forgets this every time and has a heart attack when he sees it, and I have to start by aiming at him while he travels around his cage in a panic, but once I get going with his shower he relaxes and is absolutely loving it lol. (Silly boy!). Then scrub his cage up with some soapy water (and a rinse and towel dry)- for the dried poo, I soak a bit of toilet roll with water and cover it over the poo for a good while (maybe like 30 mins) so that it softens and it's easier to get off. And in the summer, I just take it outside and hose it down, as well as scrub, and leave it to air dry, which is SO much easier!
I have to chase my Grey all over the screened porch, misting his feathers with the spray bottle while he constantly tries to escape. Then, when he gets good and soaking wet, he decides he LOVES his "shower" and he can't get enough of it! Dog people are extroverts; Cat people are introverts; Parrot people are just crazy to put up with all the abuse, but they are SO worth it!.
@@patchdavis35 Hahaha! They're all silly billies!
I love this ! I too have conversations with my parrot during cage cleaning ! Your both great keep it up
both of you have big personalities, it's perfect
you and Ham brought a lot of smiles into my life tonight!!!
I love Ham's color. Such pretty birds the ringnecks are!
I have feral ring-necked parakeets in my garden in the UK. Watching them visit the birdbath is always entertaining.
Ham does the polar opposite of what he is asked -- and it is incredibly, ridiculously, hilarious!😂😂😂😂💙🩵🖤
Bird poo is so hard. Ham is so shiny now 😊
How cute is that lil bastard 😂😂 didnt know birds can be that funny
Soo, soo cute ❤ l hope the rest of the world is watching, you are a great Aussie advocate.
I had an African gray and currently a cockatiel and they are all a joy.
Such a pretty boooy, mmmm? Such a pretty pretty boy. mmwaa!!
(I learned parrot talking from a friend who has three.)
Yes please get a bigger bathtub. You are so good to your bird.
Have you ever tried spaying your bird with a small hand fine mist sprayer, with lukewarm water?
My Amazon parrot loves it, he thinks its great fun.
He really likes it if it’s hot weather. As it cools him down a little.
Lol yeah my cockatiel Ozzy is just like Ham around cage cleaning! Yup poop is like bloody concrete! Im in UK and one of our online parrot equipment retailers sells a great product from America called POOP OFF. Works like a dream in a few minutes, non toxic and just great
I always thought we should build houses with bird poo, it's incredible!
You've got a new subscriber. You two are hilarious 😂 😂
his eyes at 😭💗 1:02
I think his bath is too small… would be more comfortable to be able to get his entire length of body in including tail. I would think. Maybe a bird bath bowl, or a large plastic plant pot saucer about 2” deep.
Ohhhh beautiful Ham 💙🐦💓😘🥰🤗 I love how you talk to Ham and he to you 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 its hilarious!!!! Love you two 💓💝💖
Have you considered getting a second bird? Or would that be a problem for Ham or how you interact?
Your bird has me asking WHAT DOOOING 🤣😎✌️
Oh I’ve missed you ham!! I cannot believe i was watching the wrong fake channel for so long!
In Belgium a large population of those birds live in the wild, same in France and Netherlands.
luv that "wait a heckin second" proly useless with Ham though, haha
My sulfur crested cockatoo got in the habit of flying into the shower and sitting on the shower rod. Then, he started coming down and sitting on my shoulder and bathing. He would lift one weighing and then the other and then turn around and wash his back.mAfterwards, he would sit on the bar again. I then tried using the hair dryer on him as I dried my own hair, and he really loved it! Again, he would lift One Wing and then the other and to turn around so I can dry his behind. So, he was bathing almost every day, just like a cockatoo in the rainforest. He never dug his claws in enough to scratch my shoulder.
My bird used to try to bath in his water dish. I got a spray bottle and misted him. He loved it much more than trying to fit in a water dish. He’s see that spray bottle and get so excited. It was so cute. He’d even lift his wing for me to spray under them.
We've got 2 lineolated parakeets and do the same thing, sometimes we fill a shallow saucer and fill it a little and they'll try bathing in that but they much prefer the travel size spray bottles (gives a fine mist), if there's room for it our male will even drop down on his back with wings spread out, whereas the female will find the nearest branch/perch and cling on while hanging upside down like a bat and spread her wings
Never blow dry ur bird it's not good for them it's ok everyone makes mistakes❤
Some of them love it. The "never" came from people using certain dryers which had components which could create emissions which are toxic to their delicate respiratory systems when the dryers heat up. Actually, they don't need to be dried as long as the room temp is reasonable and they are not in a draft.
Had on the cool air and it’s a safe dryer x he was in no danger x
@@Chantyb97oh alr and Humlet is so adorable ❤
I really felt that with 'i miss Jenna Marbles' lol it's been so long, but she's still missed
You might want to rethink the bell, iv seen a few birds eat the inside bit and die from the bell. 😭
I love ring necks. Lost mine to cancer at 12 years old. Way to soon.
I love the aggressive “what DOINGGGG”
3:20 heyyyy now ✋🏻 lizards 🦎 are amazing I have a few lolz 😂
