𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗲: the diet Ringo had was only for a month until he got used to us, and environment. later, i got him to eat fruits and veggies, i even ordered 5kg of pellets for him and budgies but he refuses to eat it. so many rude comments about the cage i moved him in, it was because of easier taming. today he lives in a big cage with many toys and comfy perches. before you spread negative energy, watch more videos about him. he is fully recovered ♡ *Join the channel membership!* ruclips.net/channel/UC3LPNxGSun2TgzWOYjTNP1Qjoin
The minute he took the millet spray off you was the minute I knew he’d decided you weren’t all that bad 💕 this is so heartwarming to see, don’t let people who only see what they see dishearten you!
Right do people not realize you must start out small? It can be detrimental to birds If you place them with lots of toys and they’re scared! You did a wonderful job!
:'( Ringo in the left side of the thumbnail broke my heart a bit, I'm appalled that some people treat their birds so poorly, but I'm glad you got him, now(by the looks of it) he looks like a happy little fluff ball.
The part where he was outside and chirping and you could seeing that his feathers were growing in made me tear up. Birds are so precious, I can't believe people let them get to that point. Thank you for taking him in and giving him a better life!
I felt so sad seeing that Ringo didn't have a good life before he came to you. I'm glad you got him and he looks like a happy! Hopefully he starts growing out his feathers! He's really a beauty :)
To y'all saying the seeds are bad: Yes they are bad but when a bird has been neglected it probably hasn't eaten much. You need to start out small insted of throwing a bucket load of fruit and veggies to it. Like my bird Pearl was rescued from the RSPCA and she refused to eat anything besides seeds in that first month we got her. She's starting to eat a lot of different food now because we slowly introduced her to it. So yeah, try to get a grip of the situation before commenting.
It's more that they shouldnt be fed fatty seeds like this, but should be treats. They need pellets, not high fat content sun flower and pumpkin seeds etc
Seeds are not bad. Sunflower seeds don't have much nutrition for these birds but you did very well. :-) You were right in leading him to fruits and veggies. You've done a great job!
@@mhm77887 yea ik but the guy with the cage probably don't have enough money or idk.... I say that from my perspective cuz i dont have a cockatiel (I'm gonna buy one).....soo im not a expert but in the same time i think he can do something in a small price ...like making toys at home or....
@@agysuausbhsusu8316 Cockatiels need a lot of room. Minimum of a 3 by 5 by 5 foot cage. They need room for their wingspan, areas to climb, and also to have many areas of comfort in the cages. I've had a cockatiel, they get very stressed in tiny cages. Mine plucked her feathers when I got her because of how tiny her cage was. It wasn't until three years later I learned she didn't have the right cage.
Since he doesn’t eat anything but seeds, look up tips on how to wean birds from seed to pellets. They provide important nutrients for a proper diet! Seeds have very high fat content which is okay for budgies but not so much for cockatiels. :) Ringo is very cute and I’m glad he has someone new who cares about him!
It's not really okay for budgies either. All birds should consume a certain % of seed in their diet it just decreases depending on the birds size. Budgies should still be fed chop and pellets
I'm from Croatia, right next to Bosnia. And I can tell you, pellets ain't readily available and Amazon often doesn't ship here. Sadly we are generally stuck with stuff like that here: seeds. The best we can do is give them fruits and veg as fresh food
@@LadyDragon11135 fresh fruits and veg is fabulous - it's MUCH better than just seeds. Eating just seeds is like us eating just bread and sugar. Imagine your health if that's all you are!
I was going to suggest the same thing about switching over to pellets and veggies/fruits. I had no problems switching my adopted cockatiel to pellets, but only with Harrison's brand pellets. He loves them!
Meisje, my female grey pied, won't eat much other than her seeds. I've had her for 14 years. She's never been sick. She's in much better shape than me.
You give him a good home and care. His feathers are coming back and he starts to talk and sing. Go on. The budgies are a good company. So,at first you don't have to add a second tiel. But it's better to give both kind of birds separated sleeping cages. They don't understand the language or body signs of the other. Budgies are more playfull and annoing or bullying sometimes. But you will handle this too. Hope we see some more videos of Ringo.
Not me everyone was so rude just cuz i stated that she doesnt have to get another cockatiel, i loved this story, now i wont leave a comment cuz they 2 of them ganged up on me im done, btw i e had psrrots in great health for 30 years ? Why am i the bad guy/ don't respond plzz i am done with stupid teens that think they know it all!
What a transformation in such little time. I have been watching you ever since you first posted about Ringo here and at first he honestly looked horrible and very scared, but look at him now, just amazing what love can do. I love parrots, but cockatiels have always had a special place in my heart, even though I have never had one, just been babysitting my friend's birds, but they are so precious and their singing is music to my ears. Wish you and your birds the best and stay safe. (You just got a new subscriber :) )
Great story about Ringo I watched Stories about Danny I cried hours and hours my dear. But as you told the legend never dies Greetings and my best wishes to you Lara
My bird doesn’t really trust anyone, he was with a lot of big birds (macaws and cockatoos) and he is a green cheeked conure so he was quite intimidated so I am just trying to gain his trust
I have a hanz macaw and a green check conjure it’s a pain to get them to get along because the macaw is so much bigger and when they try and fight I know my macaw can hurt my conjure bad
Melina Nessari it is similar the conjure most of the times starts the fight or it’s just they see something as there territory like there individual cages but the problem I have is Loki my macaw will fight back and if he wanted to he could seriously hurt or kill kiwi the conjure
Lol, when Ringo was scared, he opened his back in a way that made him look like he was screaming! 😂🤣And I think Tony gets very excited to see new birbs!🤣🤣
He seems to still be afraid. But I think that, in time, he'll grow to trust you... because you're really trying to help him recover. By the way, can Ringo fly? (With his past owners keeping him in such a small cage, his wing muscles might have atrophied from lack of use.)
This might be what my rescued cockatiel has! After 3-4 rounds her wings just completrly stop and she falls down with nothing to do. It's been 4 years since we rescued her and she still can't fly with our other bird who is her partner :(
I currently adopted a budgie he had a partner but she passed away so he is lonely now with his mirror I’ve had him for almost a 5 months I talk to him he gets near me, I put my finger he gets on my finger but pointed towards the mirror I’m pretty sure he developed that disorder where they are obsessed with a mirror, and I can’t really bond with my little guy cause he’s always to busy in being right beside his mirror, idk if I should take the mirror out because he’s already 4 years and I’m pretty sure he had that same mirror for a while now so I feel like taking the mirror away from my budgie would make him really depressed as it was the only “friend” he has, but at the same time I wanna bond with the guy more and take him out of his cage and pet the guy without him being scared... any suggestions I’d really appreciate the advise..
Sorry for the late reply. You should definitely take out the mirror. It can become a real problem when they become obsessed with the mirror. It will not bother him if you take the mirror out if you are able to tame him. If you aren’t able to have him out for multiple hours in a day, then I suggest you get him a friend to help with the loneliness. Just be careful though, they sometimes bond with each other and won’t want to come to you. Budgies can be hard to tame, but once you do have them tame they can be great birds!
yes! take out the mirror. becoming obsessed with their reflection it extremely unhealthy mentally for them. they will try to "mate" with the mirror and the the stress of getting "rejected" (aka not getting those signals back) will cause them to start plucking. once the mirror is taken out, you can replace the companionship that the mirror brought by bonding with the bird yourself. make sure that when you are petting the bird that all touches are only in the head area as petting other parts of the body will trigger the bird sexually and cause them to become sexually frustrated and more aggressive not only to you but the other people near you. try to handle him a few hours a day and eventually he will get used to your presence. when you are first handling him, unfortunately you will have to force him out of the cage. no they really dont like it but you got to do it as some birds will never come of the cage voluntarily. make sure you are gentle and predictable as to not startle the bird and to prevent a negative association with your presence from forming try giving him some of his favorite treats so that his experience with your company is a good one. eventually he will start coming out of the cage on his own and you can just pick him up from the top of the cage to start the interaction. of course this is only my individual taming tacit, i would of course recommend doing your own research to see what style is best suited for your personality, situation, and of course the personality of the bird himself.
Icy Dice thanks for the advise I recently took his mirror out and he’s been going out of his cage but yea he’s a very nice budgie but whenever I touch his stomach he gets angry I switch to petting him by his head, I have bought him Millet which he enjoys he gets outta his cage just to eat some.
I think u should feed it something else then seeds bit its ur choice I have this food I feed to both of my cockatiels idk what it's called but it doesn't give them like certain poops
@@dennythebudgie I'm by no means an expert, but the consensus among avian vets seems to be that lettuce is toxic to cockatiels. Not to worry, there are plenty of other veggies they enjoy. My cockatiels love corn (in small amounts), or chillies which are super healthy for them. Good luck! ❤️
You should be only be feeding about 15 percent seeds. You should try to supplement with pellets. It takes work but he will live longer and be healthier. Seeds are like eating only cookies
@@bird7622 hi there! As a neighbor resident of Bosnia I can tell you: we don't have pellets here. And Amazon doesn't ship most stuff here. Sadly we are usually stuck with feeding them seeds except the occasional veggies and fruits (or fully on a diet of fruit and veg) Trust me, I tried ordering and we get somewhat better Internet delivery service here in Croatia but they sill wouldn't deliver. That's how it is sadly, not everyone has variety available
Just a few tips from your friendly neighborhood bird lover! Try and invest in some pellets for their main diet.. seeds are like treats for them along with millet and are best used for training... too many seeds in a bird's diet can cause fatty liver disease and can harm your bird... it's like if all you ate was Mcdonalds! I'm so glad you're helping that little bird have a better life! Ps. If you have the money try to invest in some natural wood perches.. using only straight dowels can cause problems with their feet...
Rosalee Salas seeds are a treat. While they eat seeds in the wild they work it off easily and don’t have as much as they would have at home. Birds don’t require seeds to live, it’s just something they can’t eat and find in the wild
Rosalee Salas Pellets are a mix of natural foods (at least proper pellets are) like vegetables where as seeds are fatty and can cause fatty liver disease. I have done a lot of research on birds and a mix of Chop and Pellets are the healthiest option for birds. Seeds and millet are like treats for the birds and are best for training. It’s like giving a child a cookie for using the potty and giving the child a mix of healthy food for their meals, vs giving a child McDonald’s and cake every meal. Not only does the treat lose value for training but the bird is losing nutrition it WOULD have in the wild.
Hi - well done with Ringo. You were so patient! I rescued a Senegal 35 years in a tiny cage - see my video of him. He is still hand shy and it took many weeks to convert his diet but you were very smart not to make too many diet changes too quickly. Well done with your boy!! I find my cockatiel will eat veggies better if they are clipped to the side of the cage.
Looks like the normal ‘don’t come near me’ response ( crest back, beak slightly ajar ). He was just uncomfortable and ready to nip if the person got too close.
in the cockatiels food, i couldnt tell for sure, but where those sunflower seeds? Becuase sunflower seeds are "addicting" to cockatiels and they will onyl pick those out of their food and not get the full vitamins they need :/
They sure do like their sunflower seeds, but our 3 tiels eat a very varied diet. They don't single out sunflower seeds, but eat muesli pellets, mixed seeds, veggies and millet and they love to have a bit of everything. Our 2 budgies live with them and enjoy the same. None seem to single out the sunflower seeds. So maybe not always the case.
RazzBerry what’s the best combination of food for cockatiels? I’ve been trying to make sure my cockatiel gets the nutrients he needs but I see so many conflicting things online
I really liked it! Adopting a Helpless Bird Is such a beautiful Thing to do! But please dont let him life alone, cockatiels need one Friend of their Kind to be fully happy (Budgies do not speak the same language) and please dont let him Life in a small cage they need at least 80cm leingh of space 24h a day. I hope you dont take this the wrong way it Is still a very good thing you did and karma will her you for saving the Bird. Good bless you 🥰🥰❤️
No cockatiels donnot have to have a "buddy" that is a myth. Don't take this the wrong way but some people don't have any other species, just one cocketial , they adapt very well to humans or other species for "their flock" i mean the human can be there flock.
@@carolhartley4448 im sorry but I hardly disagree. A human can never replace a bird friend. Of course Cockatiels are good with many kind of birds, but they do still not speak the same language, they do need another cockatiel to socialize, otherwise its not good for their psychologial state. My father is a breeder and this is the only truth
@@carolhartley4448 human can be their flock? i'm sorry but if you really knew and loved birds, you'd know that this is bullshit. you can't clean them, fly with them, feed them, sing with them or talk to them. the human might be happy about it but the bird would always prefer one of his own kind over the human so stop sounding so selfish.
Denny the Budgie oh gosh that plucked for such a young bird? You sure he may be that young? The ones I’ve worked with with plucking issues/have been plucked normally are over a few years. Either way, amazing progress with him!!
Okay, I’m kinda concerned about how much he looks like my bird maverick. We found him while he was getting attacked by native birds, and we are taming him as well. This video has also been very helpful, thank you
Ok I really need help with my budgies, I am trying to get them used to my hands by giving them Millet and putting seeds in my hands everyday but still they are not getting used to me, is it bc where I bought them from of the way I’m taming them?
Are your budgies young , most failed or not fully tame birds are that way because they are a little older and less susceptible to being tamed, this is why I presume by behaviours the cockatiel makes in this video the cockatiel was once tame or hand reared. So more than likely if your birds are a bit older then it’s because they are less susceptible and not that you are taming incorrectly ☺️
1Basic_Bitch one of my budgies is young and my other one is halfway there of being an Adult but the older one trust me a bit more then my other since I had him longer, he’s ok with stepping up but goes back to his cage, but now currently I’ve been trying to hand feed them and it’s going quite well my young bird got to the point of where she trusted me enough to step up to eat
Good job on saving this little guy! :) You're planning on getting him a female as a friend? I bet he would be very happy. (still watching the video btw but I wanted to express my happyness for this little guy real quick) I have 7 currently where I saved about 3-4 which are not tamed. I don't care about it since I just look at them and from time to time they pay me visits and walk around or even under my chair. 😄 Take care of him. Ringo (my dog is named Ringo, too) will have a long and wonderful life with you.
Oh wow. You did such a wonderful job? Is there no way to feed birds pellet diet where your from? I know seeded diets cause fatty liver. Excellent video btw.
I remember holding food on my hand for my budgie while I was taming it 😂😂 now it opens its own cage and comes out and wouldn't even let me eat 😂 always trying to land on my head
You’re my hero! It is only people that have empathy that can understand the bird like you do. And what a great effort on making this video presentable and enjoyable like this. You are double talent. Thank u for doing this. Good Karma to u. 😁
YAYYYYYYY BIG BABY RINGOOO!! My little coco and moco are 38 days old, i hope they get their all feathers and fur faster. I cant wait for them to get big🐣
I have 2 that i can take outside 1 cant fly :( but the other can they are best friends and he always follows him and always goes to his cage if he wants to go back in!
Ania Majewska they are different breeds of them. Parakeets are social birds and cockatiels are but aren’t . You shouldn’t keep them together for many reasons
Ringo is so cute! I love your vids! Happy Ramadan! Even if it's not the same as always it's still very fun😊 I have a Cockatiel too and it's been over an year and i can't still tame her and this makes me feel very sad😞 and now it's been 1 week since she started to lose feathers and i'm really scared and i don't know why... I give her food every day i clean her cage i make her do her bath but still! If you could give me advice i woul apreciate it so much😍 And once again Wish you the Best Ramadan ever! May Allah bless you for you wonderful and big heart💕
Do you have an avian vet in your area? They could help you check if your birdie is doing well. I know it can be a bit expensive, but it's the best thing you can do to make sure your birdie is happy 😊 good luck!
A very remarkable progress in just a little over a month's time. You say he came from a FRIEND? That "friend" does not care much for animals... and it is too bad he or she does not have to pay for such cruel deeds. I sincerely hope Ringo does NOT have mites... If he does not, he will soon have a nice plumage and I'm looking forward to future videos of him (are you sure he is a male?).
You are a nice kind of person, with a golden heart. You helped me with my Cookateil. I also like how you are so gentle with your bird, and you care for her. Thank you for taking care of this poor little bird.! ❤🥰👏🎊

once the mirror is taken out, you can replace the companionship that the mirror brought by bonding with the bird yourself. make sure that when you are petting the bird that all touches are only in the head area as petting other parts of the body will trigger the bird sexually and cause them to become sexually frustrated and more aggressive not only to you but the other people near you. try to handle him a few hours a day and eventually he will get used to your presence. when you are first handling him, unfortunately you will have to force him out of the cage. no they really dont like it but you got to do it as some birds will never come of the cage voluntarily. make sure you are gentle and predictable as to not startle the bird and to prevent a negative association with your presence from forming try giving him some of his favorite treats so that his experience with your company is a good one. eventually he will start coming out of the cage on his own and you can just pick him up from the top of the cage to start the interaction.
of course this is only my individual taming tacit, i would of course recommend doing your own research to see what style is best suited for your personality, situation, and of course the personality of the bird himself.
Icy Dice thanks for the advise I recently took his mirror out and he’s been going out of his cage but yea he’s a very nice budgie but whenever I touch his stomach he gets angry I switch to petting him by his head, I have bought him Millet which he enjoys he gets outta his cage just to eat some.
Ur not the only one that collects ur birds feathers😂
Ringo is such a sweet birb☺️ How could someone neglect him💔 I’m so glad he now has a loving home :) thanks for sharing!
Haven't seen a bird come back so quickly after obvious neglect you definitely know your birds. Good job and best wishes
I think u should feed it something else then seeds bit its ur choice I have this food I feed to both of my cockatiels idk what it's called but it doesn't give them like certain poops
He eats apple and lettuce, refuses to eat other foods
@@dennythebudgie I'm by no means an expert, but the consensus among avian vets seems to be that lettuce is toxic to cockatiels. Not to worry, there are plenty of other veggies they enjoy. My cockatiels love corn (in small amounts), or chillies which are super healthy for them. Good luck! ❤️
You should be only be feeding about 15 percent seeds. You should try to supplement with pellets. It takes work but he will live longer and be healthier. Seeds are like eating only cookies
@@bird7622 hi there! As a neighbor resident of Bosnia I can tell you: we don't have pellets here. And Amazon doesn't ship most stuff here. Sadly we are usually stuck with feeding them seeds except the occasional veggies and fruits (or fully on a diet of fruit and veg)
Trust me, I tried ordering and we get somewhat better Internet delivery service here in Croatia but they sill wouldn't deliver. That's how it is sadly, not everyone has variety available
Harrison's brand pellets 😁
Just a few tips from your friendly neighborhood bird lover! Try and invest in some pellets for their main diet.. seeds are like treats for them along with millet and are best used for training... too many seeds in a bird's diet can cause fatty liver disease and can harm your bird... it's like if all you ate was Mcdonalds! I'm so glad you're helping that little bird have a better life!
Ps. If you have the money try to invest in some natural wood perches.. using only straight dowels can cause problems with their feet...
This is exactly what I was thinking. Too much seeds and millet.
Seeds should be part of their daily diet.
Rosalee Salas seeds are a treat. While they eat seeds in the wild they work it off easily and don’t have as much as they would have at home. Birds don’t require seeds to live, it’s just something they can’t eat and find in the wild
Cece Kat That’s funny. They can’t find pellets either in the wild. Pellets are so processed that a really good seed mix is so much healthier.
Rosalee Salas Pellets are a mix of natural foods (at least proper pellets are) like vegetables where as seeds are fatty and can cause fatty liver disease. I have done a lot of research on birds and a mix of Chop and Pellets are the healthiest option for birds. Seeds and millet are like treats for the birds and are best for training. It’s like giving a child a cookie for using the potty and giving the child a mix of healthy food for their meals, vs giving a child McDonald’s and cake every meal. Not only does the treat lose value for training but the bird is losing nutrition it WOULD have in the wild.
Hi - well done with Ringo. You were so patient! I rescued a Senegal 35 years in a tiny cage - see my video of him. He is still hand shy and it took many weeks to convert his diet but you were very smart not to make too many diet changes too quickly. Well done with your boy!! I find my cockatiel will eat veggies better if they are clipped to the side of the cage.
4:42 did anyone else think it looked like he was gasping?
Looks like the normal ‘don’t come near me’ response ( crest back, beak slightly ajar ). He was just uncomfortable and ready to nip if the person got too close.
@@beetsmekid8821 It's called cockatiel hissing :> They normally do it when they're scared but idk why I find it so cute lol
Ringo is a cute little bird, luckily he found you and you gave lots of love and care. He is so happy & chirping ♥️
in the cockatiels food, i couldnt tell for sure, but where those sunflower seeds?
Becuase sunflower seeds are "addicting" to cockatiels and they will onyl pick those out of their food and not get the full vitamins they need :/
he started eating fruits and veggies I also got pellet for him 🥰
They sure do like their sunflower seeds, but our 3 tiels eat a very varied diet. They don't single out sunflower seeds, but eat muesli pellets, mixed seeds, veggies and millet and they love to have a bit of everything. Our 2 budgies live with them and enjoy the same. None seem to single out the sunflower seeds. So maybe not always the case.
Denny the Budgie that's great!! So glad Ringo found his way to you
@JapanesePeaceLilly I guess you don't need to worry xD
RazzBerry what’s the best combination of food for cockatiels? I’ve been trying to make sure my cockatiel gets the nutrients he needs but I see so many conflicting things online
He kicked the millet like a football. He is so cute
duh, birbs are the cutest animals
please feed him pellets and veggies!! an all seed diet actually isn't good for birds. I'll glad he's doing better, thank you for saving him :)
....
I assume you didn’t watch the video.
I really liked it! Adopting a Helpless Bird Is such a beautiful Thing to do! But please dont let him life alone, cockatiels need one Friend of their Kind to be fully happy (Budgies do not speak the same language) and please dont let him Life in a small cage they need at least 80cm leingh of space 24h a day. I hope you dont take this the wrong way it Is still a very good thing you did and karma will her you for saving the Bird. Good bless you 🥰🥰❤️
No cockatiels donnot have to have a "buddy" that is a myth. Don't take this the wrong way but some people don't have any other species, just one cocketial , they adapt very well to humans or other species for "their flock" i mean the human can be there flock.
@@carolhartley4448 im sorry but I hardly disagree. A human can never replace a bird friend. Of course Cockatiels are good with many kind of birds, but they do still not speak the same language, they do need another cockatiel to socialize, otherwise its not good for their psychologial state. My father is a breeder and this is the only truth
@@carolhartley4448 human can be their flock? i'm sorry but if you really knew and loved birds, you'd know that this is bullshit.
you can't clean them, fly with them, feed them, sing with them or talk to them.
the human might be happy about it but the bird would always prefer one of his own kind over the human so stop sounding so selfish.
@@franziska551 shut up! What are you 2? You couldn't be more wrong!
@@carolhartley4448 apparently you know nothing about birds 😂 go ask a vet that's specialised on birds
Awwee this is so cute! ❤️❤️❤️
Hi i love your vids so much and I have a parakeet and she is crazy!😂
Thanks, mine are not any better 😂
How old is he?
I don't know :( Probably under 1 year
Denny the Budgie oh gosh that plucked for such a young bird? You sure he may be that young? The ones I’ve worked with with plucking issues/have been plucked normally are over a few years. Either way, amazing progress with him!!
@@beetsmekid8821 🤔😐
Bravo, srećo! Ljubav prema životinjama točno pokazuje srce puno ljubavi......
Awww so cute! 💜I have 2 birds 💜
Really nice✨✨
Me too their names are jamrock and June june is a girl jamrock is a boy
ALP - 45 so cool!! 🙂
@@willyandolya3741 they are budgies
Does this mean ringo's name in english is apple?!?!?!?! apple is a cute name 🍎🍎🍎🍎🍎🍎🍎
Thank you realyy much iam gona tame biting cockatiel i dont know why my cockatiel bit my😭😭😭
They usually don't bite but what's wrong with yours? Maybe you force it to do someting or making to much of stress 😐
Dobar video nisam znala da će biti još ljudi koji jako vole ptice sa balkana, pozdrav iz Hrvatske😃
Okay, I’m kinda concerned about how much he looks like my bird maverick. We found him while he was getting attacked by native birds, and we are taming him as well. This video has also been very helpful, thank you
Awe so cute!!!❤
Ahh first!
Ringo has improved a lot and the feathers too,my cockatiel is 6 months old and is a white face
You're a budgie life saver❤️🕊❤️I love any types of budgies or bid just like you💕
That's so cool
do u take ur bird outside to introduce him from environment.
Yap
Ok I really need help with my budgies, I am trying to get them used to my hands by giving them Millet and putting seeds in my hands everyday but still they are not getting used to me, is it bc where I bought them from of the way I’m taming them?
Same I have a cockatiel that was bought from a bird store I followed every step but still he is scared when I near him
Hi! I recommend following Parrot Volancy on Instagram. She has a good budgie taming instruction video through Patreon. Good luck!
Deliana tysm!
Are your budgies young , most failed or not fully tame birds are that way because they are a little older and less susceptible to being tamed, this is why I presume by behaviours the cockatiel makes in this video the cockatiel was once tame or hand reared. So more than likely if your birds are a bit older then it’s because they are less susceptible and not that you are taming incorrectly ☺️
1Basic_Bitch one of my budgies is young and my other one is halfway there of being an Adult but the older one trust me a bit more then my other since I had him longer, he’s ok with stepping up but goes back to his cage, but now currently I’ve been trying to hand feed them and it’s going quite well my young bird got to the point of where she trusted me enough to step up to eat
so cute! you’re such a sweet mommy for 🍎. love you🤍🥺
Thanks ❣
Good job on saving this little guy! :) You're planning on getting him a female as a friend? I bet he would be very happy. (still watching the video btw but I wanted to express my happyness for this little guy real quick)
I have 7 currently where I saved about 3-4 which are not tamed.
I don't care about it since I just look at them and from time to time they pay me visits and walk around or even under my chair. 😄
Take care of him. Ringo (my dog is named Ringo, too) will have a long and wonderful life with you.
Oh wow. You did such a wonderful job? Is there no way to feed birds pellet diet where your from? I know seeded diets cause fatty liver. Excellent video btw.
What a change! Thanks for saving this beautiful bird!
My cockatiel died 3 days ago, i keep watching these videos to relieve myself. I miss him so much🥺💔
Awww adorable lil bean I shall send bean lob♥️♥️♥️♥️❤❤
I remember holding food on my hand for my budgie while I was taming it 😂😂 now it opens its own cage and comes out and wouldn't even let me eat 😂 always trying to land on my head
You’re my hero! It is only people that have empathy that can understand the bird like you do. And what a great effort on making this video presentable and enjoyable like this. You are double talent. Thank u for doing this. Good Karma to u. 😁
YAYYYYYYY BIG BABY RINGOOO!! My little coco and moco are 38 days old, i hope they get their all feathers and fur faster. I cant wait for them to get big🐣
I also have a pair of lutino cockatiel
my female cocktaiel died today 😥😥😢😢😭😭
I'm so sorry. My lutino died too, she was amazing, I'll miss her forever.

I have 1 budgie Chiko and 1 tiel Kora 😁
Good RUclips 10 likes and 3 mans see iT
How did you moved to other cages? He didn’t let you to put your hand on it!
P. S. He is adorable!💕💕😍
I talk about Ringo
Cage to cage
9:02 Awwww😍😍😍
Ooooh my bird absolutely LOVES millet
7:52 that was sad 😔
Ringo is soo similar to my cockatiel Jinji! but.....its a she😅😆
I have 2 that i can take outside 1 cant fly :( but the other can they are best friends and he always follows him and always goes to his cage if he wants to go back in!
Cockatiel when seeing someone clean: 👁👄👁💧
9:02 XD
I don't know why but this video felt very wholesome 😁👍
Thank God, Minka and you for saving our newest member Ringo❤🐦
Yeah, she is so gentle to him 😁 Thanks btw.
so cute..❤️
I have some budgie too..my pet❤️
I wouldn’t keep him in the budgie cage with them. Parakeets/ budgies can end up beating him up as a way of play and can hurt him
Yes, they did look like bullies
Parrtos don't like to be alone!
Ania Majewska they are different breeds of them. Parakeets are social birds and cockatiels are but aren’t . You shouldn’t keep them together for many reasons
Agreed. Generally you shouldn’t keep two different types of birds in the same cage.
Tiffany Zhukov really dangerous because if the budgies play with the cockatiel they could attack each other
Sunflower are not good for cocktails...try other healthy food with all the patience you have...stop giving him sunflower seeds
he is fine with eating fruits, veggies and pellet now :D
12:01 omgg thats so cuteee
😁😁
Newest thank you for helping this poor cockatiel recover you're doing a good job. My cockatiel Pikachu is happy to see Ringo doing well
Yay. I like happy birds
😆❣
@@dennythebudgie 😊
Wow! Well done! He looks very better and happyer! What a translocation!😍💖🦜

my baby pied cocktail is also named ringo
Ringo is so cute! I love your vids! Happy Ramadan! Even if it's not the same as always it's still very fun😊 I have a Cockatiel too and it's been over an year and i can't still tame her and this makes me feel very sad😞 and now it's been 1 week since she started to lose feathers and i'm really scared and i don't know why... I give her food every day i clean her cage i make her do her bath but still! If you could give me advice i woul apreciate it so much😍 And once again Wish you the Best Ramadan ever! May Allah bless you for you wonderful and big heart💕
Do you have an avian vet in your area? They could help you check if your birdie is doing well. I know it can be a bit expensive, but it's the best thing you can do to make sure your birdie is happy 😊 good luck!
u got him the same day i got my budgie!!!!! how cool
You should do a video answering people’s concerns and problems with their budgies. Kind of like an advice video
I collect my bird's feathers to
I don't have a coctile yet but i sure will have one day thx for this vid!
Cockatiel*
Good luck ✨🦜✨
@@willyandolya3741 thx!!
A very remarkable progress in just a little over a month's time. You say he came from a FRIEND? That "friend" does not care much for animals... and it is too bad he or she does not have to pay for such cruel deeds. I sincerely hope Ringo does NOT have mites... If he does not, he will soon have a nice plumage and I'm looking forward to future videos of him (are you sure he is a male?).
I had the same bird it flew away 2 days ago we didn’t train him I’m so sad he left 🥺
Ringo is a boy..yeah I found it..😜
7:29 chonked up
Veliki pozdrav iz Bosne :)
Hey sometimes budgies can bully cockatiels, so you might want to be careful about putting him in budgies cage unless under supervision
Thanks! Didn't know that :(
You are a nice kind of person, with a golden heart. You helped me with my Cookateil. I also like how you are so gentle with your bird, and you care for her. Thank you for taking care of this poor little bird.! ❤🥰👏🎊
i collect my cockatiel feathers too, his name is riko
how did you get your cockatiel to go on the floor?
He couldn't fly, now he can fly :))
Great video great job
Tony really loves new guests!
I used to have a cockatiel but my cousin took it back it's name is bannanna
