BlueBell then: Didn’t like vegetables because they were too wet
BlueBell now: Swims in lettuce
Yes so accurate 😂😂
😂
🤣🤣
I have adopted a 22mth old masked lovebird who has only had a seed diet. I have really enjoyed watching most of yr vids and have found them quite informative for Birdie.
Hello k1b0
My birds: reeee i will NOT touch the vegetable U CANT MAKE MEEEE.
Bluebell: I swim in lettuce
Omg yes 👏👏
haha😂
LoL
Lol
XDDDDD
"They haven't eaten all night"
My budgies- ( at midnight)
tImE fOr a SnAcK
Oh my god me to I will be a sleep and then hear pecking of him eating and I’m just like why why why know
Haha
Same! I’m trying to sleep and my budgie (Charlie) Is very fussy and is always changing perches, he’ll just climb to another perch, waking me up! 😂😂
To true
Lmfao same with my lovebird
My budgie came to me on an all seed diet. He was extremely unhealthy. I have had him for a year now and can I just say how much of a change has been made. He eats veggie chop every day with much delight and has Harrison’s pellets in the evening and throughout the day. So if you have a bird that hates vegetables like mine did. Do not give up because that just hurts your bird even more.
YES!! I’m so glad your bird is on a healthy diet now!!
How long did it take you to change the bird's diet?
eunice yew so it took me about two weeks to get him onto pellets and then an additional one week to get him on veggies. My bird really liked the pellets wet and mushed with some seeds and it took kinda of a long time to get him to eat the pellets dry and by themselves. I had to slowly make them less wet and reduce the seeds. Now he goes crazy for pellets and I got him to eat chop by adding pellets into it and doing the same thing of slowly adding less pellets to the chop. Hope this helps is you are trying to get yours to eat healthy
@@person11lol66 Your bird is insane. Hope my future bird will do as well.
Julie Bakly yeah he is. Thanks goodness he took to it so fast. Good luck with your little feathered friend
who else has a picker eater:)
meee mine lagit wont eat pelets or veggies 🙄 but I'm still trying
My budgie Nova won’t eat fruits or veggies except for I think she ate a TINY bit of lettuce that was sprinkled on her food
Me to
Ussss😂 we have one that likes veg's and fruits but there's one who likes none of them
Pickey
"Kermit no."
Kermit: I'm about to ruin this whole man's career
Lol 😂 ha haha the way Kermit slid on her face tho 😂😂😂
No plz dont ruin her career

I appreciate how you said it took a year to convert Bluebell over! Sometimes we get so fixed on "do it now!!" that we forget they're individuals.
Before watching this, I'm going to guess some ways to get your birds to eat healthy:
1] Tell them they're going to go to bed without dinner if they don't eat the healthy food.
2] Tell them the poor birds in other countries can't afford to be picky about what they eat.
3] Get them one of those nutrition calculator apps (assuming you can prevent them from biting apart their computer or smartphone.)
4] Teach them rhymes about healthy and unhealthy foods, like
"When I shy from meats and cheese
I will be safe from heart disease
If I eat just nut and seeds,
An early death is guaranteed
I love veggies, green and red,
For great health in the years ahead
Well-made pellets in my diet
Guarantee I won't be quiet!"
5] Make them watch this Live Laugh Birds video.
love this 😂😂
Awsome
my bird: ok so what?
I love your comments they make my laugh
This is the best comment I have ever seen
apparently watching birds eat is insanely more interesting than I could have ever expected
I have now got my bird I am going to try these techniques thank you so much 😊
I'm hoping to transition my birds from their seed diet to a more varied meal soon! Thank you for doing this video :)
You have inspired me so much too get a cockatiel and I’m determined to get one. Recently my budgie Linda died and you have helped cheer me up... thanks
I’m so sorry, fly free Linda ❤️
She will be in a better place
😞 😔 😢 😭
Leo’s Reptilife I am sorry for your loss!
I’m so sorry 😔 I’m sure she had a very happy life.
She also stepped up on my finger 3 times today, let's see about tomorrow

@@karyspennerx lmao ikr
I recently got a cockatiel and discovered he will willingly literally eat anything
I love how all of the birds eat healthy
I am doing research on birds, and their care because I am getting one soon. Your videos are so helpful!
Same, I am expecting a budgie and possibly a macaw!
Thank you!!
Me to i am getting a rare macaw
Good luck! 😀🦜
Me too hey livelaughbirds can cockatiels eat fruits like apple
Yes! Thank you so much! My bird is PETRIFIED of any veggies. I can’t wait to try this out!!!!
lol, my bird was too!! like does a carrot look evil ? 💜💜
Honesty your probably 1 of the most knowledgeable bird people I’ve seen and have some of the best bird care going
Thank you so much ❤️
I have a budgie named Angel, I've had him for almost a week now and he's the cutest thing ever. I've been giving him just seeds for a couple days but I am trying to feed him different types of foods. Your videos have helped me a lot and make me more determined to give my budgie the best life. I'm gonna try some of these methods. :)
itz jackychan you will do great 👍🏼
Don't forget Bird tricks has great books about preparing and feeding your flock veggies. Sprouts can be dipped with grapefruit seed extract so that mold doesn't grow and its safe for birds. Great video Elle!!💜💜💜
Excellent advice! Keep trying to feed fresh foods, too many people give up.
my birds both are in LOVE with chop. I used to feed them a seed mix with veggies added bc that's what Petco said, then found ur videos and made chop. My birds are in love. My girl budgie likes fruits too, but my boy one prefers veggies and they both love veggies! thank u!
(if u were wondering they will only eat millet and chop, they will try seeds, but go back to chop I'm so proud!) (they also love moist chop and they don't like a dry version)
Yay DUCKY IS MY FAV 🖤🕊😇🐦 Pikachu wants to meet him and play! They are all so beautiful and healthy.
Me and my sister might be getting 1 budgie each and your channel is fun and educational
This is my boyfriends youtube, my names Kira I have a cockatiel named "Kermit" (he has a green crest, so cuteeee and i was inspired by your gorgeous kermit) i had such a small cage, i didnt realise till i watched your videos!! his old cage was like a forth of his new cage which is 140cm x 57cm x 93cm, hes so happy!, ive also stated changing his diet (He used to only eat seeds now have got him on veggies and fruit, really quickly i am very luky) Thank you for your videos Kermit and myself both benefit by them!!
That so cool
what....
a cockateile w/ a green crest whaaaaaaaaaa
my budgie would never eat her veggies but when I used your chop recipe, she loves veggies! she goes nuts when I give her chop.
I'm so glad that my birds aren't picky at all. They just love vegetables xD
Lucky!!
OMG thank you this is exactly what i needed for my budgies, Devyn and Deedee.
A natural teacher, and it's always exciting to learn new ways to take the best care of your feathered friend. Thank you!
My parrots did not like veggies but now they love them thanks to you 😊💕
The Veggie bird bites I have that and my birds love it! 🥰
Mine too!
If you need your bird to get some essential amino acids but they won’t eat anything but seed and something like apples I highly suggest you get them “egg food” it is honey and egg bits, works great especially around the time when the girl is laying because we sprinkle extra in there along with a bunch of calcium grit and she picks out the grit and egg bits and eats them over the seed :)
Dude why would the dislike button exist on a vid like this. EDIT: me qnd my budgie steve cheered when the comment got a heart
Ducky eating the leaf is satisfying honestly🤣
Wow! I did not even realize my art got featured at the end!! Thank you so much!!💓😊
Thank you so much for this video! My budgies used to not eat any vegetables or fruit we offered them, but now we tried peas because of your video and they ate some of them! Yay!!! Thank you so much!
Who else though when ducky ate the lettuce it was so satisfying
Ducky is so cute he’s a cutest one and crme
Thank you so much for showing my art! You are so kind and this video was super helpful! I’ll be making chop hopefully today.
Normal birds: Play with toys
Kermit: oh hair
already excited to watch this because i know it's going to be amazing!
Thank you so much ❤️
I have 9 larger birds and have bred birds and always grew sprouts . I have to say you are very informed about your birds .. it is wonderful to see someone your age so well educated about your birds
It's a new generation Cheryl most of us young people who are into animals are setting the bar pretty high. Education is at our finger tips so there is no excuse.
I really liked the way Kermit came on Elle's face
And I am really going to try everything
Thanks ELLE!!! !!!
Omg thank you soooo much , now my bird likes veggies , thank yoooooouuuu , you're the best 💕
Yay!! I’m so happy your bird is eating veggies now ❤️
Be prepared for the third comment about my budgie TODAY
My budgie Clover absolutley LOVES Corn :3
We recently got 3 more birds, and have 5 in all (all parakeets). Your videos help reassure us, and thank you for doing so! I love your channel. Keep doing what you’re doing! :)
It was SO satisfying Watching ducky eat that leaf OMG
Can you pleeease make a video on how you taught your birds to wave?!
For some reason ducky eating lettuce was oddly satisfying 😂
I know right!!
Yay! I am so glad you finally did this video😊❤️ I really had to know
Have just got a cockatiel & watching your you tube vids is really helping me understand my bird. Thankyou for all the helpful info as have never had a pet bird before 👍🏼😊
I love your channel keep going no matter what anyone else say good job and have a good day
Thank you so much ❤️
Can you do a video on bird myths, please. There are a lot of myths about birds I want to know if they are true. I have two cockatiels and I want to take care of them very well. Thank you!!
Lots of great ideas. Thanks! So fun to see your birds and how they play and respond to food.
You have helped me learn so much about parakeets! Thank you
My budgie only eats the sweet potato’s in my chop
My birds love sweet potatoes too!
Maybe you can make the sweet potato even softer so you can mix it with the other vegetables and knead it into balls so when they're eating the sweet potato they're also eating the other veggies :)
Marije can’t believe I never thought of that. your a Genius
StArBuRsT i think I heard this tip from birdtricks! So all credits go to them hihi. You’re welcome!!
Her missing a nail is my aesthetic 🙌
This video was so helpful. I have 2 two month old budgies, one yellow and one green and they didn’t eat chop the first time I made it for them but this time I put seeds in there and they finished nearly all the chop! Thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos!!
I was watching your other videos since I got my cockatiel a little while ago and I theres a few things I needed to find out and. This is exactly what I needed!
I have a pearl Replica but it is a boy his name is snowy and he is 6 months old he is a budgie and he does not eat fruit or veggies
Can u heart this comment pls
Yay!
It god hearted
Hi finally got my green cheek conure
Congrats!!!

😍I love all of them and thx ffor helping me with helping my bird to eat and by the way my bird is a budgie and her name is diamond🐦💎
Thank you so much for this information ! My birds have been eating ONLY seeds ever since I got them but I usually give them apples not everyday though , and I gave them kale and cucumbers only. It is my fault I never researched enough but ever since I found your channel it has helped me out so much ! Literally waiting for Publix to open so I can go and buy my babies (6) some vegetables (: EDIT: yesterday I went to the pet store and I saw three cockatiels OMG they were SO cute they kept following me and I REALLY wanted to get one but wasn’t and am not ready yet lol maybe later in the future 😊 2ND EDIT/UPDATE : when I gave my babies their vegetables they weren’t eating it so what I did is added a little bit of seeds and they started eating it once they “accidentally” ate the vegetables NOW they LOVE IT and finished everything up !
Your birds are so cute and your videos are helpful and informative. Thanks for bringing our family a little joy as we are grieving the recent loss of our 2 juvenile budgies Tie-dye & Blue. They were so sweet and just gave us so much joy but vet suspects they came sick from the pet store and there was nothing we could do. My heart just breaks so much and we miss them terribly. We’ve been watching your videos to gain more knowledge for our next try with bird pets. 💛
I'm so glad you made this! I've been trying to switch my birds to pellets and veggies instead of seeds. This was really helpful!
What a FANTASTIC video! You are so knowledgeable and so entertaining. I absolutely love watching your videos and I watch them from beginning to end 💕 I am definitely going to try some of your tricks for some of my birds that will absolutely not touch vegetables. It's very hard to give vegetables to 46 Birds 😱 They are all on a very good pelleted diet with thrown in Nutri berries & pellet berries. They also love almonds, walnuts, bananas, apples & cheerios. They also get their chop a few days a week. With so many birds it gets so messy and it is so hard to control where all this food goes 😱 So, unfortunately I cannot give such a huge variety all the time or I would have a mess to clean up every minute of the day. Sometimes I wish I only had a few birds like you so I could concentrate on just them, but having a huge flock like I have I just have to do the best I can 💕
You do amazing considering how many birds you have, I have no idea how you do it 😅
This is incredible!, I just got a yellow sided sun Conure just like yours and I was sadly informed that he was fed on a seed diet for 4 months. I’m trying to give him pellets as his main diet and trying to have him have more variety of fruits as he was only being fed apples.
This really helped!
When I get a Marlene video and you on a Tuesday after I got the worst week coming makes me feel better love u both
Aww I hope your day is better 💕
this helps me so much! my cockatiel, bug, is so stubborn when it comes to veggies. I am definitely going to try all of these methods out. thank you!
Hello! I’d like to thank you for inspiring my mum and dad let me get a budgie all because of your help thanks! :)
You really should not bc you have had to bribe your mum and dad to get you one so
Good choice in bird BUDGIE Team!! 🐦
@@ashleyatchison3948 good point my mum and dad surprised me with my first budgie on my birthday and I didn't need to bribe them 😐😕
ahhh! ive never been so early!love ya girl keep doing watcha doin!
Great job being early!!! Thank you so much 💖
This helped a lot!! Thank yo uso much, I love this channel! * From Portugal! :D
I am binge-watching your videos. They are so helpful and informative. I've had a bird before and I am planning on buying a budgie as soon as I get a green light from my landlord that I can. Thank you so much for all your videos. I've subscribed and will come back to watch more of your videos. I've read up a lot about budgies and thanks to your videos I've got a lot more information about birds (specifically about diets, how to tame birds and about cages, toys and so on). I absolutely love your channel :)
I have a question: I have a cockatiel and my mom is convinced that putting it in a new cage or changing the placement of perches will be bad for the bird. I want to give it a bigger cage and switch some perches with natural wood do you think it is fine to do? Thank you!
Daniel Serrano oh ya totally, I bet your bird would LOVE that! The only thing though, when my bird got a new cage he was a bit scared so I had to monitor his eating. Other than that, I think that would be the right thing to do!
Yes totally!! Love cage upgrades!!
Thanks, guys! will do!
And it’s also good to move their toys so they are more stimulated. you will have saved your bird from getting a deformed foot. They need dog perches. ♥️♥️♥️✌️
Raptor my cockatiel loves it when I re arrange his perches for some reason.... he watches above chirping very sweetly and is very excited to go back in.
so i am gonna be getting a budgie at the end of the month really nervous it wont bond with me or wont like me ive been researching videos to be ready i already have its cage so so nervous ive been watching ur tip videos they will help hopefully :) thanks!
Make sure it's hand tame. It took my daughter over a year and so much effort to tame her un-tame baby budgies.
mmartelle -roblox don’t be nervous. You seem to be doing your homework about the birds. Don’t be hard on yourself, it might take a little while to learn your bird, but if you follow these tips from here and other good YTuber videos and learn your birds cues you can have a really cool friend. And don’t underestimate them, they are very smart. Keep at it. Enjoy giving your new bird a good life.♥️✌️
I just got my baby boy last week and it's the best decision I have ever made I love him so much they are fairly easy to bond with just NEVER EVER
-forcfully take him out of his cage
-yell or purposely scare him
-grab him only ever let your bird step on to your finger they will lose trust if you grab them
Also if you only get one you need to play with it all the time
How is he/she?
How's your bird?
I love your videos !! Such great info. I’ve been wanting to get a budgie for a few months now and will soon . Your videos have helped me be prepared for when I bring one home .
This channel is fun to watch I dont have a bird but still love watching you .
Thank you so much for watching!!
@@ElleAndTheBirds your welcome I always enjoy 😊😊😊😊
I tried feeding my new budgie broccoli She kept flying around in the cage as soon as she saw it. Edit: Day 2 of trying to feed my budgie vegetables and she finally nibbled on some of it.
Update?
my budgies go CRAZY about there vegetables! they well not fight about their pellets but they do RUN to the chop & or veg 😁😋😘
I love that you gave us sooo many options and tips in this video!! You really know that every bird is different and we need to trying different things. I have my budgies since January and they eat a lot of vegetables ( in chop), fruits, they have pellet diet, they eat millet and seed outside the cage as a treat (training and bonding), ..., and I am very happy because all that progress is because of your videos!! I’m so happy 😭❤️ although they already eat vegetables I want to try more variety and give them to them in different ways (like the ideas in this video) because so far they only like vegetables in chop!! Can’t wait!
This was so helpful as I am going getting a lovebird very soon👏👏🦜
yay!!! 💜💜 my bird doesn't like fruit lol, just veg. 😂 why tho she won't eat fruit!! haha 💜💜 like what's with that😂 at least she won't eat too much fruit😂
Better for Birds, my birds only eat fruits and barely any veggies lol!
@@rinam4198 oh no!! try only give them veg, fruit only as treat 💜💜 corn and broccoli are my bird's fav try them 💜💜 and then move on to other veg's, good luck💜💜
Better for Birds, they love spinach and broccoli, as soon as i can buy corn and peas (and learn to prepare them) i will try :) thank you!
@@rinam4198 no problemo!! 💜💜 good luck!!
Ducky won’t touch fruit either!
My tiels love to bite a veggie and throw most of it on the floor lol

Tysm for hearting my comment 🥺 I’m slightly starting to cry 😭 because of how happy I am.
I don't even have a bird and watching this channel 😂😂😂
I had birds and right now a cat (and kids), but i love watching them too :)
haha. 🙂
I just wanna say I’ve only been following you for a little over a week and you’ve helped me out no end with your advice.
My kakarikis have always eaten fruit n veg but my cockatiels were so fussy .. I struggled to get them to eat anything besides seeds and millet .. I watched this video and the one about ‘chop food’ I bought wild rice, barley etc to add to it and in less than 3 days they have totally taken to it. I leave it out all day but around an hour and then I put a lil seed in their cages for when they go in in the evening.
I gotta be honest I’ve spent over £300 this weekend on new perches and chew toys and new foods.
Although I love my birds I always felt guilty about my cockatiels seed diet even tho I was giving them vitamins I still felt it wasn’t enough.
The best thing about mornings now is their messy chop beaks 😍
Thank you so much for all your advice. 🦜 💚
Blooper bits are great. Kermit falling down your face was a big winner for me
Who else is having a live laugh bird marathon??? 🤣😊😏🤩
I am going to move to bigger house!
Do you know what that means?
Bigger cage!
Yess!!!
This is so helpful! Love all your tips el😍👏 amazing video👍
Aw I love birds so much and you are the best rolemoddlle for people owning birds. Also your birds are so so so cute
