I'm so happy for the existence of the bird community! I am looking to get birds again for the first time since I was a teen and I was looking at a happy hut. There was one I saw on Amazon though that had a review talking about how their bird had chewed a hole in the fabric and had somehow gotten caught INSIDE THE HUT between the layers of fabric. I thought maybe it wasn't a common occurrence but wanted to make sure and googled it. I found out that getting caught literally inside the things doesn't seem to be common, but after running into MANY videos like your own I understand the long list of reasons why these things aren't good for your bird. Thank you for this.

We all make mistakes. We are human. One of my budgies got out unexpectedly while my dogs were in the house. We had just had them a few days. I was able to get him on my finger but before I got him back in the cage he flew off to our downstairs bathroom into the toilet. Unfortunately my reaction was to just grab him and lift him out of the toilet and put him back in the cage. It put our taming back. I've just been able to get him to come to the millet after two weeks since then.

We adopted a budgie a few years ago who was so neglected that he was overly protective over his reflection and even his shadow. He would neglect eating and drinking to spend time with his shadow (we don't have mirrors at our aviary), and when he had to be forcibly separated from his shadow to eat or take medication, he would become aggressive and bite people and other birds. It took years for him to recover and for us to teach him to interact with other birds and become a fully integrated part of our aviary.

Please please please hate employees we're just doing our job and doing as we are told by the corporate or even the law. We really are trying our best sometimes we just know all the answers.

Sisal rope, jute rope, hemp rope, seagrass rope, and anything else that is a natural fiber (except cotton of course) is safe for birds! Even paper cord is safe! All you need to worry about if you have natural fiber rope is if the rope is treated in any way (sometimes it’s treated with petroleum and other chemicals) or if there were any glues used in making it. And if the rope is colorful, you have to make sure it only uses food grade dyes.

Thank you this video is very informative. I had considered trying the furry huts, rope toys and honey stick treats. But what you said makes alot of sense, I wouldn't risk my birds' health. So glad I found your video before I spent money on some of these!

That "NOPE" at 11:47 is just too precious... Thanks for that! And for the rest: it's RIGHT ON! The marketers are the predators and we are the prey... The problem is that what is being said now is the same as what what said when I first started out with birds over 15 years ago, and nothing has changed... The marketers seem to be winning the battle...

I'm mad at myself for buying a tiny cage. But thankfully I was able to get a bigger cage today (Second day of owning a budgie)
@angsfeatheredfriends 3 жыл бұрын
Started out with a sorta smaller cage, not a nice huge flight cage, but not terribly small either. Those small cages can come in handy. I kept mine. I had to use it to quarantine 1 of my budgies. I have also used it for transporting. I am not comfortable with those tiny bird carriers at all. Not when a vet drive is over an hour away. You can also use them as a side cage to explore. Fill it with foraging toys, keep the door open. Let your birds explore it during the day (that is if you let your birds out to free roam).
@kamaluonalani11 3 жыл бұрын
I currently use my smaller cage as sort of a play cage for my bird. I leave it on the desk open at all times, and hide a treats with some toys, and I change the set up every few weeks. My bird enjoys climbing in and out and all over it, foraging for all the goodies while I work on the computer next to her. My bird's wings aren't clipped, so she flies off whenever she gets bored. Her actual cage is much bigger obviously, and thats where she sleeps. But the smaller cage made for a great play pen Instead of buying a whole new playset.

Sadly I have bought some of these things but thanks to you and many other bird you tubers and influencers have helped with these. Thankfully before I got my bird the pet store I got her from “Parrot Stars” helped me find the correct bird cage and I got mine through them. I used to have a happy hut but it made my bird very hormonal along with her mirror so I had to get rid of the both. At pets mart they told me the sanded perch would help her nails and as a younger kid I believed her. I got it and when I was putting it in the cage and cute my hand on it, if it cut me I knew it wasn’t that safe for her so I also didn’t use that. I’ll let you know when I post a cage tour and maybe you can give some feedback or watch my video! I had to learn over time but I’m so great full for people who inform others like you Elle! I started my channel partially for the same reason! To inform others. I’m gonna ask for your kit as a gift and maybe I’ll get it!!

grit is actually for softbills who dont hull their seeds and the hulls aren't really digestable so they use hem to grind up the hulls, parrots hull their food and if you give grit, they can eat it and it can destroy their internal organ's walls
@FerDeLance06 3 жыл бұрын
It surprised me when Elle mentioned that. I was always under the impression that you should always supply grit for your birds. It makes me wonder if pet shop staff would advise you on that. I guess some would, but there would invariably be some that wouldn't - just to get the sale.

I really appreciate you. I have two birds, a male 16 yo cockatiel and a female 2 yo bugie. When I got the male, I put a mirror in his cage then I got a female cockatiel, the male wouldn't let me take the mirror out. Later the female passed. During the pandemic I got a female bugie. The male wouldn't let me take the mirror out so I got her a mirror. I'm glad you explained why it's not good for them to have a mirror. I'm going to take the mirrors out of their cage. He may have a difficult time but she doesn't seem to care as much. I'm going to get them silicon I didn't see your link where to purchase it. Thank you so much for the information. Also, you have a beautiful bird. God bless you 😊🙂

That you for being a wonderful advocate for our pet birds. When people know how to care for them properly, they will discover what magical companions they really are. I just wanted to clarify they are not really "lactose intolerant", they simply cannot digest lactose, but it won't make them "sick". Our CAG loved to share pizza and grilled cheese with us.

OMG I’m so glad you mentioned the happy huts, when I first got my sun conure the store pushed the happy hut and I bought it not knowing any better. Luckily my conure hated it, then my cockatiels, and my Quaker parrots. So I threw them out. I didn’t know they were bad for them but I let the birds tell me that wasn’t something they were cool with. So I threw them out and never bought them again. Now all is happy. I put a special perch in the back of their cages where they like to go and sleep and that’s their happy place when they sleep or just want quiet time.

“You should never listen to pet store employees” We have got to learn humility!!! I enjoy your videos so I hope you’re open to feedback. Please be mindful of being disparaging to others. The bird community really has to chill with the criticism. Just give the advice and keep it moving. We continuously find out new remedies, diets, and equipment for animals. Eventually almost all advice becomes dated. Good luck!
