In the UK we call them budgerigars or budgies. 50 years ago you couldn't visit an older person's home without meeting one or two. They were good company for lonely old folk.
There was always a layer of old newspaper in the bottom of the cage and a cuttlefish bone for their beaks (possibly calcium source as well)
All Budgies are Parakeets, but not all Parakeets are Budgerigars. 😁
I've got a budgie and she's lovely. They make great pets 😊
My Gran had a blue one called Beauty. Every afternoon she'd close all the doors and windows and let him out for a flight. We'd sit in the room together and read (Gran passed when I was 10 in the mid-70s, so it gives you an idea of what things were like). Beauty would fly around for a while, then he'd settle on one of our shoulders - the one next to the other person as we sat side to side - and he'd listen to us reading.
I know we had a green budgie at the same time, but I only have the vaguest memory of it. Not sure where it came from or where it went. My mum didn't like having birds indoors (for good reasons, she believed they should all be in their natural habitats and flying freely), so perhaps the green one was a temporary one who we were watching for someone. (Can't ask my parents anymore, sadly).
I do miss Beauty, even though I generally agree with my mum's view. He was such a funny character and Gran loved him to bits.
@@y_fam_goeglyd, your story is so wholesome. Thank you for sharing! I found it very relatable.
I am 23 years old and I live with my sedentary grandma since I was 18, because she needed daily help around the house, and I volunteered to help. We have a green budgie, that we call Jerry or Jeremy and he is 4 years old. He is such an adorable and intelligent bird, and we let him fly freely in the apartment so he goes into the cage only for the night (we have nets on all of our windows for his safety). My grandma loves him so much and he loves her as well. I work at office and go to university, so most of the day my grandma spends with Jerry and she talks to him, reads him rhymes, stories and plays with him. Jerry even speaks just like her! My grandma rarely smiles, because of her medical conditions, but she always smiles and even laughs when Jerry swims and washes himself in the bowl of water, or when he talks and preens at the same time. I love them both so much.
What a cuddler. Read all you can to keep your beautiful budgie safe, happy & healthy.
There is a rock band called Budgie!
We lost 2 beautiful trained parakeets we had for two years that parakeet looks like one of them. Her name is Kiwi but it looks like the parakeet looks like it’s damaged but please tell me she’s Saife I really wanna know one of my birds are
I went through the same thing with a Chihuahua pup I found exhausted in my backyard.
The very first night i put her in her bed but as soon as i turned out the light she jumped on my bed and slept under my chin.
We were together for 12 years. 🙂🇦🇺
Sweet story. Bless your heart.
Please accept my deepest condolences on the passing of your dear Chihuahua 😭💔
♥️♥️♥️
Our rescue cat…during the day does all the cat stuff. Nighttime comes, she is on the bed and her head in my armpit. I have learned to sleep with my arm up under my head. Lolol
🥹💙
My grandson found a cockatiel while walking to work. She lives with me now.
Never thought of owning a drink as a pet.
Probably means a cockatiel.
@@RoboVirtue- Or thought of a drink as a male or female.
I seem to find beer everywhere I go. 😄
Was it a sex on the beach?
What a sweet and gentle soul this young woman is !
This parrot just couldn't find a better person 💚
But several more budgies. This is what they NEED, as well as free flight!
I follow her on tik tok and I can happily say she recused two other budgies
birds need a better diet (like veggies, pellet's etc.) they cant live off of seeds.
The one and only parakeet I had as a kid was named Tinker Bell and I called her Tinks for short. So glad you two have bonded!
They are incredibly social creatures, and they thrive on companionship. You should get it another bird friend.
You don’t really have to get them another friend unless you want to because actually if you can spend a lot of time with them then you should be good to go!
@@Gabriella2014_YT A human can't give this little friend everything she need.
Budgie's for example want to feed each other and to clean the feathers of buddies.
@@Gabriella2014_YTthis is absolutely wrong they live in huge groups in the wild. A person is NOT adequate company for a budgie.
@@elliieeify3796 I once had a bird his name was timi (budgie) and he hated company. He wasn't really fond of anyone I bought him. He outlived 6 other budgies and he was always happier when he was alone. I would never ever recommend getting only one bird. Just wanted to share this unusual story.
@Gabriella2014_YT me and my family would spend time and talk with our budgie every single day, he would eat with us, shower, chat on us, play and was always out his cage. He still developed regurgitation issues and hormonal issues, his butt bled from humping his toys too much. As soon as we got him a friend, he never humped a toy again, and his hormones are normal again and he doesn't go near those toys he used as company. They need companions
There’s a special place in my heart for people who rescue animals…thank you 🙏
And what a wonderful Resue for Tinker. ♥️
I have two parakeet’s and let me just say, that woman is so sweet, she was so gentle with the bird. That cage (the second one) that she decorated was beautiful and very adequate. I am so glad that budgie ended up with such a lovely home.
God bless that sweet girl for saving that poor little bird.
I had a pair I rescued as a kid learn to whistle with Tink and you'll both sing together. I also had a large branch in my bedroom for them to sit on and they LOVE bird baths. Also when you're ready she needs a friend they're very social. Tink couldn't have been rescued by a better person.
Word of caution if you have one of these birds. If they are out of their cage, make sure all ceiling fans are turned off. It will kill them if they come in contact with the blades.
Also must make sure that cats are kept away. I saw she had a cat in the room during the big cage unboxing. Cats are extremely dangerous to birds, as they are predators.
Also, on opening the cage... all windows and doors must be shut.
Even if it's the window of a room on a different floor... that the budgie has no idea exists.
I guarantee... and have had it happen... open the cage and the budge will fly directly out of the room, up the stairs, down the landing, into the the room with the open window, and straight out into the wild....... and gone.......... without even touching the sides.
Sod's Law with Budgies and Cockatiels.
Thank you for being so patient, caring and helpful helping out a little lost bird. 🙂
u're going to be a good MAMA for Tink..Bless You
What a sweetheart. How lucky she was to be found by you.
How kind you are to help out this little lost bird! You saved her and now she has a wonderful life and family! 😊❤
How adorable is Tink ❤❤❤❤. So glad you rescued her and gave her a loving forever home!!!
Budgies are the loveliest friends you'll ever have besides a dog. They're such beautiful birds 😍
So glad you were the one that found that sweet little parakeet❣️✨️🫶👍🦜
Wow Keana! What an awesome video! Thank you so much for not giving up when you tried to catch Tink! I think she was destined to be with you. You have a heart of gold and I think Tink knew that. I love that she will step up on your finger. What an awesome home you have made for her. I hope you both have many happy years ahead together!
this is what a real hero looks like, domesticated parrakeets cant live in the wild so she literaly saved that birds life.
She is that Parakeet's Hero ❤ Tinker now has a wonderful forever home.
This is staged,the bird can't fly.
Nice.
@@Allan-d9h when they get really hungry they dont fly to save energy
@@Allan-d9hprevious owner may have clipped the wings
All Tink needs now is Tank to keep her company!
The refrence😂
lol
Your too have each other now! Tink, you will have such a life 👍😇🕊️😘🥰💖
This girl is an angel! Blessings to her for having a tender heart for sweet Tink!!
Such a sweet story! Tink is so lucky to have found you 💜
LOVE how there is a cat in the mix, proper protagonist - antagonist story arc, proper.
Glad you saved each other!
It didn't even come in a store so much better! He won't even panick once in a cage buggies are full of love and energy and personality! They really like toys and hanging out! Great job
She now has 2 wolves, a badger, and a bear; her family wants her to stop running...
You forgot the mountain lion and bobcat.
@@devildoc4257
Either the family doesn't know or, she hadn't gotten that far...
Who this girl?
😂😂😂
Wait who is this
They are native australian birds call a budgerigar great talkers and are very friendly once they get used to you i have had several in my life
Little bird with big personality
The ones we have in the US are actually smaller than budgies though.
@@poochiew.9302No they aren’t.the budgie shown is exactly how you find them in the wild.
@@chrisstevens463 "The English Budgie has been bred for shows and exhibitions and is happier to sit on your finger, less likely to talk, and can be as much as twice the size of the American Budgie. The American Budgie, or parakeet, is much closer to the wild bird.Jul 26, 2024" This is what I meant.
@@poochiew.9302 Budgerigars are native to Australia,they are 7 to 8 inches in length,the bigger birds are not true budgerigars and most likely cross bred with something else,the native birds are mostly green upperparts, barred with black and yellow,wings,fringed with white,forehead,face and throat yellow.
theres a wild parakeet at my work, who just live there now, and is like a regaler wild bird
Conyers have become common in the wild here. My sister feeds them (along with all the other birds in the area) and it’s pretty common to see 20-30 of them around her house waiting for dinner time. 😁
if you live in australia, they are wild anywhere else, they're not
Wow, this girl seems like an absolute dream! She is just so kind. She is somenody's dream girl, for sure. What an angel!
That is the largest parakeet cage I’ve ever seen! 😂 He’s going to be the happiest bird ever!
that's not large. smaller cages are made for carrying the birds to the vet e.g...
This cage is normally for lager birds like parrots and cockatoos. Now Tink is spoiled😁 hope she gets a friend so they can sing together. However make sure they aren’t the same sex or you will have eggs soon (wood need a a separate nesting area), like I had with my Zebra Finches. Please research about parakeets and how to care for them. Glad Tink found a loving & caring person to care for her.
@user-ep4jd6vo9m Spoiled? The bird is in a cage, are you evil or just thick?
@@jenmu7870 That certainly is an extremely large cage for a single parakeet! I’ve been around parrots all of my life and people don’t usually get cages that large for a single parakeet. I’m in my 60’s. I know what I’m talking about. I’m happy that she did as it’s nice for the bird, but it’s definitely unusual. And the smaller cages are not for taking the birds to the vet. I take my African Grey to the vet in a regular pet carrier. I pop a perch in there and he’s absolutely happy. He doesn’t need anything larger. When I used to take my parakeets to the vet I put them in cardboard carriers. I certainly didn’t carry a cage. You should hang out with other bird fanciers. There are clubs everywhere.
This parakeet is so cute, we used to keep 2 of those, such fun!
Such a sweet story 💜 Tink is so lucky to have been rescued by such an awesome mom. 💜
I found one in San Diego, just had children at the time, that bird was spoiled all through their growing up into adulthood, one of best connections ever!
My budgie is always a rescue, found wondering around in the stress.
Endless energy.
She needs a friend
Or a mirror so she thinks she has a friend 🙂
Yes! They love company.
@@noreenn6976 a mirror is not the same! 😉
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰
For sure she needs company
Wie süß ❤🦜😍
I'm in London and parakeets are just everywhere haha, the almost solidly bright green ones
You mean they’re flying around in the wild?
@@moorspede Yes, lots of them live wild in South and South West London. They have been established for quite a few years; all appear to be the same breed, green all over
Those are Indian ringnecks though, aren't they? Indian ringnecks can (and do) survive in Europe no problem, but the Australian budgies/parakeets can't.
@@rainpooper7088yes no budgies in London the only parrot species that have established in London are the rose ringed parakeets and the monk parakeets.
@@michelehood8837parrots can become invasive species if enough pet ones get out. In phoenix, az, there’s a wild lovebird population because a large number of them escaped someone’s house like 50 years ago.
Budgies are beautiful and adorable birds! I love them sooo much. ❤❤😊😊🐦🐦
That is so sweet! I had parakeets growing up and they were the best! Several years ago, my next door neighbor and I spotted a parakeet really high up in a oak tree while we were outside chatting. We tried, but couldn't get it. We were so worried about the blue jays getting it. I'm so glad Tink was able to be saved from life in the wild where she would not have survived long. And this young lady really went above and beyond for her!
Thank you Keana for rescuing and caring this lovely bird 🙏🏻🌟🍀🌷🧡🎶
God bless you sweet angel that little bird is going to have the best life now and the bond you have will be special .
Feed him seed, but not only seed. There's a good dietary requirement for them. You've got a cute little friend there. :)
Too many seeds can cause fatty liver disease. Feed the Baby pellets, fruits, vegegatables, and very little bit of seeds.
Totally agree. Pet store food in general is often really poor. Seeds are like birdie french fries - not particularly healthy but all too common. They need vegetables, some fruits (those stay away from the high sugar fruits, like grapes). For my Myers parrot, I used Harrison‘s bird pellets.
@Jessica-kk1cz yes exactly ,a variety including greens,also budgie sand paper at the bottom to keep there toes filed down
Dr Harvey's is a good quality parakeet seed sold on Amazon. Mine love leafy celery and Romaine lettuce too
She was feeding her an apple slice the last scene. Looks like she’s done her homework.
Thank you for rescuing him ❤
This is beautiful! You've a heart of gold.
I had an exactly same 4 month old budgie named Kiwi and he/she flew away 2 months back. We just hope he was found by someone like you.
The fact she went from calling the bird she to him shows how much she learned about them.
AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW Tink you are in paradise now. THANK YOU for rescuing this sweet little Hen. She was probably dumped like 95% of my rescued Budgies were
i go running all the time and i never find birds that need to be saved. im so jealous. i would pamper that gorgeous bird in the same way.
aww! that’s so cute
When I lost my parakeet, this is what I wish might have happened, when I think about him alone out there. I wish someone took him in and kept him safe. But he could easily fly a mile so doubt it.
Thank you for rescuing this sweet baby, and giving her a chance at life.
Thank you for taking in that sweet little bird.❤
God Bless You. For helping this sweet baby. You are amazing! ❤
Bless your heart for being an amazing and empathetic person for saving and resucing animals. You both are very precious🥹❤️🎀🦜🫶
A great Aunt had a budgie when I was little, it used to talk, which amused me no end 😝
Tip: add news paper to the bottom of the cage (under the wired bottom for easier clean up). So happy you found each other.
I am so glad you two found each other. ❤
Good job Lady. That species of bird is smart and bond for life.
I had a parakeet and I would put a shallow dish of water on my counter for him. He loved to bath. It removes any dust or oils. A friend told me it's good for their health. I wish you and Tink lots of fun and happy days. 😊
Love that she took the time to set up her phone to video her getting the birb. Super cool. Just save the animal, please.
Did it have bad consequences? No. It's fine to record rescuing animals. It's a normal thing.
You were blessed to have found him. One of Gods little creatures lost 🌹♥️🙋🏻♀️you are so sweet.
She's so sweet in taking care of Tinks ❤
You want another one in there now, they are very much social birds so that will be good for her wellbeing. I used to have a 10ft x 8ft Aviary with 60 of them. There were plenty of nesting boxes in there so new chicks were quite regular. We used to trade the chicks in to a local pet shop after about a week or so of being fully fledged in return for food for the others. Some chicks we did keep especially the multi-coloured ones :)
I was so annoyed by the cage but im so happy it was upgraded
I have hand tamed Budgies and they light up my life, so sweet and loving 💟💖💙
Good tip= If you keep her indoors keep the Air clean , no spays ,perfumes, cooking fumes, no teflon, no hairsprays it kills them🤗
What a sweet Budgie❤
セキセイインコ☺💕
すごく可愛い❤
大きな鳥かご🎉
優しい気持ちになりました✨
ありがとうございます☺💕
Oh she or he will need a friend to share her or his space ❤
You have a heart of gold Keana! Tink is so lucky!
Fantastic story! Thank you for rescuing that baby!
Bless her heart and Tink's 😊💜💜
It was really nice to message with like people,thank you one and all
Poor baby ❤❤❤ Thank you for saving her!! ❤❤❤ What a beautiful little parakeet ❤ She was meant to be your baby ❤🎉
God Bless Her kind Soul
I gave my birds that same exact cage, only in bronze color. Those things are fantastic. Can easily support 6 birds comfortably.
That is so fucking cruel....
Got some really nice birds in Australia but these cute lil buggers rarely get bought up, definitely one of my faves.
Everytime I see these guys reminds me of my roommate years ago that had one. He named him Bud. That bird was so smart he could open and close the door to his cage. And if you had a drink in your hand or sitting around, Bud would come out of his cage to help you drink whatever was in the glass. Bud was always there when someone came home from work zipping out of his cage and landing on your shoulder to say hi for a few minutes. About a year later I found Bud had left us during the night. Went outside and cried like a baby. I didn't even realize how attached I was to Bud until that moment of seeing him. Not a day went by for months that I didn't think about him, especially when I had a drink in hand or sitting next to me. And coming thru the door and not hearing Bud flip that cage door open just made me sad....
Birds are so clever, and are full of joy and make great companions. Best wishes...
Giff-Master
where did this happen? i lost a bird that looked EXACTLY like that about a year ago. please respond.
Give them stuff like corn on the cob (washed but uncooked), romance lettace(it has good nutrients), cooked brown rice (my budgies favorate)
Feed her a mix of pellets, seed, greens and some berries or boiled eggs
Beautiful story I had 3 Parakeets when I was a kid and more recently I had a Cockatiel for 15 years and I love birds
Thank you so much for rescueing the little bird...❤
Quick tip. Add newspaper or those pee/poop pads you get for dogs on the bottom, makes cage cleanup so easy
❤ thank you for your kindness 🙏
I live in Florida and have had a cockatiel and blue macaw show up on my pool patio fully tamed/banded.
Thank you for saving little Tink! She was MEANT to be your baby!
Aww, Tinkerbell! Must've been someone's pet. Maybe it escaped on its own. 😘
That’s so sweet. A couple weeks ago I rescued a canary. We never found the owner and now we’ve adopted him.
You alone just restored my faith in humanity & it’s touched me like no other video has in a very long time. It honestly felt like I was watching a Disney movie with the best most heartfelt ending ♥️ Without a shadow of a doubt I believe that it was in fact Destiny that brought you 2 love birds together 😂 There’s just no other explanation that plausible to me!
I have no idea who you are or where you’re from but I want to say this to you; You are an amazingly loving human being & I wish that our World had many more like you in it! You are very special, you have such a kind natured spirit, you have a heart of gold 💛 & your soul is deep rooted into everything that is good & right on Earth, just like the way God had created it! Someone in the Sciences needs to acknowledge you & give you credit where credit is due. Like when they discover a new Star 💫 That’s how special I think you are for everything you did!
I’m trying to find the appropriate words to describe how in AWE I am of you for how you rescued this tiny bird 🦜 but nothing seems fitting enough & my tears keep streaming down my face.
Your acts of kindness towards this little lost, tiny, helpless bird is so astounding to me! I’ve never ever come across anything like this before on RUclips but I’m so glad that it was recommended to me because it made my day!
I love the name, Tinker Bell, Tinker Bell for short is perfect!
Your name should be Star Sunshine! You’re brilliant, beautiful & you shine bright! I’m going to share your video with everyone I know & I’m positive that they’re gonna love it as much as I did!
If you haven’t been told today that you’re an exceptional human being, then let me be the first person today to tell you that you’re AMAZING! YOU ARE 1 OF A KIND! And, thank you for saving Tink’s life! You belong to her & she belongs to you & I hope you have a long & happy life together! 🦜♥️🙏🏼🇨🇦 I will never forget you or Tink & if I’m ever having a bad day…I’m going to watch your video!
For me, what I witnessed today was an unbelievable, unforgettable & truly awe inspiring act of pure LOVE that’s impacted me to do better & get involved more with Nature! Susan in Toronto Canada 🇨🇦 0:15
Bot comment of the year goes to....
I birdsat my friend's mom's cockatiel for 2 months because she had a friend with a cat visiting. I adored that little bird, named Loki (and he was a rascal). Liked to land on my head when I entered the room! I'd love to have one of my own someday. So glad your Tinker Bell found such a kind soul, and that IS a palace-mansion!
Her first step onto your finger with her tiny feet was adorable. :)
Aww ☺️ what a❣️wonderful story,you are such a dedicated young lady. Tink’s 🦜 a beauty, 💖 you two make a perfect pair and her setup cage is adorable!!! 🥰
These birds should never life alone.
Aw! What a cute little girl! Judging by her eyes, she seems pretty young! I've had a lot of parakeets in my life. Unfortunately, she might have been a victim of a "buy and release" situation. People think that these birds can and should be in the wild, but that is a terrible notion! They're domesticated, and need to be under proper care. It's like if you went to a pet store, bought a puppy, then just dumped it in the woods because "they belong in the wild." Disgusting.
Thank you for taking care of tink, she is so beautiful❤
I purchased a pair of budgies 7 years ago! Now I have 12. Don’t put a nest box in the cage or they breed like rabbits. After their second clutch I took out the nest box.
Ha! So true. They are fantastic parents so, yea, just like rabbits. 😄
Budgies are such wonderful little characters.
