Thanks, nice to see you!

@@leporellothegoldfinch thank you very much madam 😀

Thanks! Free fligh should start fairly early in my opinion, as soon as your bird is comfortable around your presence next to their cage.

Ah, thank you so much! And thank you for all the hard work you do to share videos like these on top of the other parts of your life. :)

Hi there, congratulations! If I may give a word of advice - if you get finches, please get two, they generally can't be kept alone or they will suffer and die. Leporello is an exception because he can't be socialised, but in general finches need their flock or at least one other of their own species. Also, if you've never had a bird before, maybe another type of bird would be better; finches are quite difficult to tame compared to other birds. Hope this helps!

Thank you I thort you were not going to reply. I love your channel

You can! All it takes is practice and patience.

Aw, Gigi is such a clever cookie, pinching all the treats! - I think you're right, birds know that we're asleep. When I lie down for a nap on the sofa in the afternoon, Leporello usually joins me and starts napping, too.

@@leporellothegoldfinch -Something happened and I almost lost my little Gigi. Thank God I didn't though. Yesterday morning (Friday) I woke up and switched a small light in the room that Gigi is in. I did not see him on his perch so I went for a closer look and he was on the bottom of his cage with wing feathers all over the cage. He went back on his perch and was breathing normally but confused. At the time I did not understand the reason.. but when I went to my PC and tuned in to my social media account I quickly realised what happened. An earthquake took place near Greece, in the middle of the night. In Malta just a 4 second tremor was felt, but it was enough to wake up Gigi and give him a big night fright. During the day there is a page on Facebook with people who have songbirds who were posting photos of dead birds (mainly Greenfinches) with feathers scattered everywhere. And with the posts of these people came the comments down below. It happened to so, so many birds. Funnily enough when I talked to my Mum nothing happened to her canary. It could be the years of domesticatian and no more wild insticts left. Although just two rooms away I did not here Gigi flutter or feel the tremor.. He is eating ok and is almost normal but he lost 14, yes 14 wing feathers. I am not going to let him out of his cage cos I doubt he can fly and I do not want him to have a crash and get injured. I will give him a bit more egg yolk then normal for protein, and a bit more sunflower seed and brocolli. For the added vitamins. Thats my story. Cant wait for him to recover..

Oh my God, that sounds horrible!!! I have never heard of such a thing, but then again this part of the world hasn't seen earthquakes for a long time. I wonder what happened to these birds? Might be stress-induced circulatory collapse... - Whatever the reason, I'm glad Gigi is alive and well! Protein and broccoli certainly sound like good ideas, as would any other food be that offers entertainment in his cage. Perhaps you can find the mineral/vitamin "Nekton-S" online, it's a supplement that I've heard quite a few breeders and vets rave about (I use it, too) - it's given to help regrow feathers and to support a bird's stress resistance in general. Hope Gigi recovers soon!!

@@leporellothegoldfinch -Thanks for your concern. Gigi is ok.. eating like a little pig and singing. The singing is a sign he is on the right track. Even my cousin had some birds in an aviary and they went bonkers.. he heard them fluttering and switched on some lights and calmed them down. Since birds have a broader hearing range then us it is most probable that this tremor emmitted a noise that scared the birds.. like a deep "mmmmmmmm" that we cannot hear.I doubt it was the shaking that scared them. Thanks for the vitamin suggestion but I really dont like adding stuff to his water. I give him the best food possible and keep his cage and water as clean as I can. I did let him out ofhis cage to hop around on the sofa but he did'nt like the situation and went back in his cage. He can't fly... not even in a straight line, let alone upwards. So Gigi has till around Christmas in his cage. And I will miss him not being on my shoulder!!!

Hi there, thanks! Leporello was about six weeks old when I got him.

Check out these two videos: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mr2VoqSkp8qzdqM.html and kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mJh5nMZo3-Crp2g.html If you watch them to the end, they contain everything you need to know to tame an extremely scared bird.

THANK YOU SOOO MUCH I REALLY WANNA PLAY WITH MY BIRD BTW is your bird free flight?

Hi there, definitely only let him out AFTER he trusts you! I suggest you start with this: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mr2VoqSkp8qzdqM.html Good news, budgies are bred to be easy to tame, so it should only take a week until he's ready.

Thank you. I got Leporello at around five or six weeks old. He came from captivity, but wasn't hand-fed, and was very wild at first. Over time he mellowed out.

Hey, I uploaded two new videos lately not including this one - if you haven't seen them yet, you're in for a treat :)

You are correct. This bird wasn't caught in the wild, he was bred in captivity, as were his ancestors.

I'd love to meet your wife!

@@leporellothegoldfinch we hop too😏thanks for your kindness...

Yes, he used to when we were sleeping in the same room. I only let him play on the bed on days I was going to wash the sheets anyway.

@@leporellothegoldfinch 😊 Good Idea.

Stupid question !!
