Talks about how loud the bird is....bird is quiet the entire video.

Dogs bark, cats meow, and birds SCREAM

Birds: *need atenttion and lives really long* *will get stressed if left alone* *poops a lot, is messy with food* Me: *needs atenttion and lives really long* *will too get stressed if left alone* *poops a lot and is messy with food* Am I a bird??

My birds somehow manage to shoot their poop out their cage, I have no idea how they do it.

I love how fucking chill your bird is in this video.

His bird's trying to do every subtle pose imaginable in front of the camera to take the stage without him knowing. It has succeeded.

Ligit every bird with that color is named mango

I know my bird really helped me with my anxiety and depression because she really likes spending time with me

My friend has a bird named Polly and I wanted him to like me sooooo badly, but it sucks Bc he hates pretty much everyone. One day my friend and I were on the phone and I asked if I could talk to Polly, so they put me on speaker phone. Polly and I had a good long conversation that mainly consisted of whistles and hellos! Eventually when I went over to my friend's house I started to talk to Polly the same way I do on the phone. Now he trusts me a great deal, and even asks me for snacks. :) ❤️ I feel pretty honored to be appreciated by a bird lol.

You're a very smart and caring young man. Enjoyed your video. I've kept all types of birds for many years and have bred them. Everything you say is very true. Birds are not like dogs or cats. I feel so sorry for the birds who get so much love and attention and then are ignored when the novelty wears off.

me: *staring at his bird on his shoulder the whole video*

"A bird will bond with you" Me: *Looks at my budgie I've had for a year and a half* Hey Sprite! Aren't you cute~ Sprite: *Flies away in fear* Me: ... Yeah thought so..

Dogs bark, cats meow, and birds unleash their inner demons with a guttural scream, simple.

My mom bought me a bird when I was six years old. She never supervised me when I was handling my budgie but what she did was showing me a book about them and explaining everything that was written in there. I called him bobo, he was my very first pet. After school the first thing I did was going to his cage and feeding him. It took me a while to get him tamed but then he flew at my shoulder and nibbled my ear so full of love. I let him play with my brass cup that I used for crumbs from sharpening pencils and I still remember how he pushed it all over my table and made me laugh. I still miss him even though it has been over 20 years. He flew away one day when my mom accidently left the window open :( Please remember that child behaviour depends on the parents. Kids are very carefull with pets if you tell them what will scare them and what they like. When I was older, I got another pet. The two neighbour boys loved my rabbit to death so my mom let them into the apartment whenever they asked to see my rabbit. We told them how the rabbit likes it and they did really good and carefull.

Your not BASHING, your educating! Thank God! There are over 30 million birds in shelters & rescues in just the U.S alone! ADOPT! DON'T SHOP!❤❤

before I watched this : *I need a parrot in my life.* After I watched this : *I don’t need a parrot in my life*

mango's colors are beautiful

a lot of people think having a bird is all fun and games, some birds mate for life, when you get a bird, it chooses you as its partner, if you do not pay attention to your bird it will get sad and start to hurt itself, ie, start to pluck its feathers. birds are very high maintenance

Neglect my bird ? He’s sitting in my chest as I watch videos... If anything he’s annoyed 😂 Edit: seven months later he’s a strong boy 😚 But he’s a brat , I love him tho 👽

Half of y’all are watching the video knowing damn well y’all ain’t getting no bird 😂

My mom owns a yellow crested cockatoo. We have had him since I was 10. I'm 25 now. They live for about 80 years. His name is kona.

People laugh when I talk about how much my parakeet requires care and attention. They believe parakeets are like fishes, that they can't really interact with humans. But they're so wrong! My parakeet is my baby and I'm always with him when I'm home.

My bird is a freaking socialite anyone who come in a 20 foot radius is subject to their head being turned into a nest

This video is very helpful... I plan on getting a pet bird, a cockatiel because from what I read they are very afective and social... I've been struggling with severe depression for the past few months.... I've been feeling extremely lonely and abandoned even if I have amazing people around.... And I feel like I need something to keep me busy... I want to dedicate my time and affection to someone... Without feeling like they get tierd of me... I really think that taking care and training a little feathery friend would help me a lot..... One of my closest friends haves around 5 birds.... And every time I visit her I like to admire them, listen to them... Or even sing to them... I remember having 2 canaries as a kid... But I was too small to take proper care of them... Even if I loved them.... I remember being afraid of handling them... Because they seemed so fragile and I was scared of hurting them... Also my mother wasn't ok with letting then outside the cage too often... Because she didn't wanted shit and feathers all over the room... She is a bit OCD , when it comes to cleanness... They eventually died.... The female first... Because she got seek... And the male became depressed and followed her an year later... Witch broke my heart.... After all those years... It was pretty hard to convince my mom (I still live with her).... Back then she blame me for the birds death... Because I was neglecting them.... But u can't expect a 7 year old to know how to properly care for two birds... I'm willing to get one to help with my loneliness

We have a sun conure. She's 10. We bought her from people who were allowing their kids to poke at them with sticks or forks, so we said we need to get her out of there! She was hard to get to know us at first, but I sat in front of her cage with the door open and sang to her and within 2 weeks, she became mine exclusively. She will go to other people, but she only really is most comfortable with me.She has a small vocabulary...maybe 4 or 5 words. She is very jealous of other pets in the house, but tolerates them. She is definitely a mama's girl. Her name is Paca. They told us she was a boy when we got her, but we later found out she was a girl. I usually just call her "Mama". I have fallen madly in love with her and she is definitely my favorite pet in the house, although I love all of them, she and I have formed a very strong bond. Thank you for putting out this video. People really don't need a bird like this unless they are willing to devote time and care in order to keep it healthy, both mentally & physically. I take her out for at least 2 hours a day, more usually. Everyday! Love your video!

lol dogs bark cats meow and birds go AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

My bird loves baths every morning he comes to the bathroom to get his daily spa treament

Roses are red Violets are blue I want a bird So do you

I know pretty much EVERYTHING about birds, and I've asked my parents for over 6 years, and I've wrote 3 PowerPoints and I saved up money and they still say no😑

OMG his eyebrows are on fleek

when he was talking about mango biting he looked sideways like "and i'll do it again BOP BOP"

Im getting budgies today🦜 I already know a lot of this things but I’ve learnt so much from this!!!🦜🥰

One big thing I noticed you didn't mention in the video is how long it can take for birds to actually bond with you when you first get them. I have a male eclectus, and have had him for about 5 - 6 years now, and it took a good 2 1/2 - 3 years for him to fully bond with me. Part of this was due to him having abusive owners before me, but even a bird that is well adjusted will take a long time to bond with their owner, many times taking 6 months or more. People don't think of this when they first get a bird, and after a month or two their bird still isn't bonded to them so they give them up, thinking their bird is just mean. This is super important to consider when getting a bird! Yes there are always exceptions, but the vast majority of the time it will be a long while before the bird warms up to their new owner. And this is when given the proper attention and care.

Problem.... I got a pet bird before I watched this video....

Your berd: my hooman singing to find a mate, cute.

I've had my birds for like 4 years and they're going strong, I'm so used to their screaming that I just tune out the noise they make and even though they're not that close to anyone in my family, (they're the closest to me but that's not saying much) I still love them and I still want more birds in the future

Tyler: mango will be aggressive to you Mango: *going front and back* >:00000

"A fish..... maybe" I'm dead 😂😂

I have been obsessed with birds since I was little, I would draw them all the time and literally sit in a tree and watch them I also had a bird field book and marked off the birds in it whenever I see one. I really want a parakeet and I have done all the research and know pretty much everything I need to know and I am saving up my money but my mom says no.

8:34 their heads moved at the same time 💀💀

At first, I looked more at your eyebrows than the bird. I love them!

Roses are red violets are blue I want a bird Want one too?

Ok so what i am 2.5 years late I have had birds for 2.5 years

You are amazing and I could listen to your voice all day... Also my parakeets Tiki, Chim, and Sylvie love you!

"If you want a child friendly pet get a fish or something"

I recently lost my Love Bird, Cheach and He lived to be 7 years old, he was a great bird. He did require alot of attention but it was worth it, we bonded alot. I taught him to give kisses, to dance, and go through a homemade obstacle course xD. Also, Mango is a beautiful bird, and he seems pretty chill in dis vid xD

😢 I just thought of my imaginary/future bird dying

Bird should never be alone. They need a companion 24/7 Left alone the spirit goes from their eyes & they lose their will to live which weakens their immunity. They can use perches they walk over to keep beak & claws blunted or train to nibble their own claws & sand their own beak like mine. I work from home so am with my bird 24/7. I had to teach him to yell mum when I leave the room if he needs me & this stopped him screaming every time I left. He is now 16 so we've been together since he was rescued at 9 months & he is very easy. He is only loud & annoying if I give him cause to be. Some smaller species have repetitive chirruping & larger macaws do not do this. Nor do they imitate annoying sounds. They speak when they need to & will teach us to use shorter words or sounds in place of words, that's how smart they are. Your own personality is what will either make the bird fit or not. Like a badly behaved child. If you raise the bird as a companion you can have amazing fun together. x

Great video, I'm really glad you stressed their longevity and need of attention. People often don't interact with them as much as they would with a dog, when many birds need even more time and attention than a dog.

Hmm...... YOU ARE A PIRATE UNDER COVER 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱

Idk if its just mine but my rabbits and birds aren't to hard to take care of but I agree with commitment they need lots of time and love and THEY LIVE FOOORREEVVEEERERR

I've had all kinds of birds since I was 12. I have a 10-year-old Jenday Conure and he's my child. I've had him since he was a baby, it's rare for him to not fly to me. His voice is ear shattering to those who aren't used to it. I do have to say, birds are amazing creatures and they understand a lot of things you wouldn't expect them to.

This a nice video for ppl who are considering getting birds. I wanted to add just a bit more tips for starting bird owners: -Birds CAN die of sadness if left alone for too long or they lose the person/mate they bond with, they can self mutilate as well -Birds are more expensive than your average cat/dog vet, they NEED an avian vet. -Avian vet visits are about $200-500 each visit because they are specialized. -General emergency vets will not know much about birds at all UNLESS they themselves are an avian vet. -Birds are good at hiding illnesses and will not show them until the illness is pretty much established. -Small birds can still have loud calls, so know which ones scream and which ones don't (ex: lovebirds). -A seed only diet is lacking in vitamins and is strongly advised against, pellets are the best type of diet along with. veggies/fruits/cooked foods. -Birds love to chew on things including electric cables, shirts, wood (furniture as well), and the walls. A larger parrot can destroy a chair. Each bird has a different lifespan, energy requirements, diet, so be sure to do your research for any type of bird! Hope this helps!

i bought a lil parakeet from the pet shop because all the mature parakeets bullied him and cracked his beak so i kinds saved him,and now im taming him :D any ideas wat to do first when tamed?

Yes! These are great things to keep in mind befor getting a bird! I appreciate that you mentioned that birds bond with you and how sad it can be for the bird when owners just decide to give them up because they get bored of their bird!

Him:birds are intelligent My bird:keeps hitting the wall even tho it isn’t hard to avoid

You should also mention that medium & especially large parrots can not only break the skin, but can break finger bones as well. I had a friend that had a sulfur crested cockatoo that loved breaking chicken drumsticks to get to the bone marrow. Yes, they also eat meat as well as seeds, fruits & vegetables.

mango is pretty!

I never had any pets in my life and 5 months ago i decided to visit a petshop and get a pet and so i got a 3 months old indian ringneck ,i never tried to get close to him but he always came to me ,one day i let his cage open and he flew in the house and i was sitting and eating my food and he came right over to me. So from that day i decided to spend more time with my IRN and i taught him tricks and i also gained his trust, wherever i go in the house he flies to me and he would sit on my shoulder for hours, he only shouts like 4 times a day and it isnt so loud, indian ringnecks are very smart and arent shy ,they also have a great personality and the more you spend time with them the less they will try biting ,but they need attention

Birds are really intelligent and extremely social. My cockatiel (of 13 years now) is sincerely attached to me, when I went abroad to study for 3 years, he plucked all his underwing feathers out of stress even though my parents took care of him as best as they can. We've seen a lot of illnesses that we never thought birds can have so they need to be observed regularly for any signs of unusual stuff. I wouldn't even say they need as much care as a dog, I would say as much care as a child.

I got a huge ass green wing macaw that lives on to 80 years😂

Just got a pet bird named Kiwi today he's so cute!! 🥝

yes, yes, yes. even my little budgie will be loud if i’m not there. people really need to understand how much attention birds need, not even just large ones 🤦‍♀️

Birds are a lot of work, if kept/brought up well. People don't realize how much work goes into keeping a feathered friend. I've had mine for nine years and wouldn't trade him for anything. They require LOTS of attention and need to have cage/food/water changed daily. They like to play and give back to you what you give to them. Don't get a bird unless you are ready to make a bonafide commitment to them.

i have two parakeets and a cockatiel and i understand the messy and SCREAMING part XD but we love them anyway

you've made this video 25 years late i have 40 now

i love how this video is really general. not only for small or big birds. it really helped me out.

I had friends with an extremely well trained, well bonded small parrot. It would walk along the kitchen counter and ask for food by gently saying “cracker?” You gave it a snack and it would take it and walk back to its cage, climb on top and then slowly start eating the snack. I wanted one so bad. Then they got a full on, giant, wild and completely untamed Macaw. They were afraid to reach into the cage (the size of a refrigerator) because it would try to bite and this bird could take off your finger like you or I would bite off a hunk of a carrot. Did I mention how loud it shrieked 24/7? You give wise counsel when you say not to get a bird on impulse. I would add never get a bird because you liked a similar looking bird.

the bird is so so cute

*Birb*

Caring for pet birds can often seem like a daunting task. Birds are more exotic than dogs or cats and not many people know how to give them proper care.

sooo no one gonna talk about how PERFECT his eyebrows are

I really want a pet like a bird or a hamster but my parents are just worried about when we travel! Like will the animal be stressed out? And we don't have a lot of friends who are willing to watch the animal for us and it's too expensive to take them to a place where people watch it! Please reply because I have a dog but we have to pay a lot of money to have people watch her while we're on vacation! Please reply if a bird will be stressed out

Mango is the cutest thing ever!!!

Dogs go - Bark Cats Go - Meow And the bird goes! - EBENEZER c gehhdgctefdhbdjdjdm

The one thing about having children around birds is sort of true. My dad bought our Parrotlet for himself, and she ended up bonding with my sister. It’s really sweet actually and she is usually a very crazy person, but whenever she’s with her bird, she calms down and cuddles with the bird.

This was a good video, thanks for letting people know what getting a bird is really like. Too many people buy pets without putting any thought into what it will be like or how big of a responsibility it is to get a pet.

As someone who grew up with dozens of birds in the house I can second everything said in this video. Birds are loud, birds are messy and birds are very particular about people. I had a Senegal parrot that loved me and was friendly towards almost everyone else. The only exception was my mother, she hated her. We also had a sitren crested cockatoo that was very friendly toward women and if he noticed that a man was closer to his favourite woman than he was, he became aggressive toward the man. This was cause for him to be re-homed many times. Don't get me wrong, the were both lovely birds, but these are things you need to take into account when you think about getting a bird. They're very smart and have a lot of attitude in comparison to most other pets.

Me: look at the guy talking. Me: *intensively stares at bird vibn on shoulder*

Whenever I go on my phone or computer, my bird stands on top of the device facing forwards so his tail is on the screen and I can’t see anything and he doesn’t leave until I scratch his head.

1) great and informative video! 2)you really love your pets and care for them, which should be normal, but sadly is not because a lot people don't care about animals :/ 3)you are handsome 4)you seem to be really nice :) 5)I like your videos and character a lot :)

I agree with everything but the (Birds hating children) I'm 11 and I own a Lutino cockatiel named Elvis he's very nice to me (my mom is scared of him lol)

I never really felt a connection to an animal instantly until I meet a bird named Lenin. He was so sweet and would rub up against the glass at the pet store because he wanted attention. It was so heartbreaking but I know I’m not ready or in a place where I could have given him the proper amount of care that he needs.

Mango can learn to like other people too. Training is good for building trust with a bird. Just start from a distance were he feels comfortable and click train him for his relaxed State of mind. Treats are great too. Makes a bird like you. I have 8 years of experience with amazons. I had a very scared amazon who didn’t trust people and was afraid of anything new. It took a lot of time and patients but we ended up being the best friends and I could hold him and he was even okay with new toys in he’s cage and new people. It is possible. Just take time and training. And of cause love.

Bro I have a green cheeked conure and you're completely right

How does your bird stay so quiet?

If you are looking to get a bird that you can easily train and take out of it's cage often and craves attention, a great bird is a cockatiel. A few tips when purchasing your bird: 1. pet shop birds are often not hand raised and can have health problems (make sure you check the birds at your local pet shop if you want to buy from a pet shop. make sure the bird has no visible health problems, and don't be afraid to ask questions! 2. breeders are always better, in my opinion. my Granma breeds Eclectus parrots and keeps a variety of other species, so she was the one who helped me find a private breeder to purchase my cockatiel from. 3. make sure the bird has been hand raised, so it will be much easier for you to handle as soon as it gets home. whereas if it is not hand raised, it may take months for you to hand train it. As for cleaning up after your cockatiel, I tend to clean my bird's cage once a week. I scrub out the bottom of the cage with warm water and mild soap and leave it in the sun to dry. Then I wipe over the cage frame (if it is dirty) with baby wipes. I place 8 square sheets of paper towel in the bottom so the cage is easier to clean. BABY WIPES WILL BE YOUR SAVIOUR! they are fantastic for cleaning up poops around the house. Also, make sure to cover your bird's cage every night. I use a thin sheet in summer, spring and Autumn as it is very hot here in Australia. In winter I use a thicker blanket when it gets cold. Here is a fantastic website for keeping pet cockatiels, the greatest starter bird! - www.cockatielcottage.net Hope this helped!

Thank u for making this video!! It's super helpful to know more about caring responsibly for our pets!

I had no idea what I was getting myself into when I got my first green cheek but then I fell in love with her and became her servant

Who here spoils their bird, mine is out all day

It's so important to know what you said in this video- birds are very peculiar and require their specific attention, perhaps as much or more attention than some humans need.

Taking care of 3 month birds is like a dream come true but a nightmare at the same time

Absolutely right! What you mentioned is exactly why I'm taking it seriously and putting it on hold even though I'm dying to have one for ages! The topic you covered is this what you considered before buying one? Or due to your experience after you had a bird? I think it's important to give these facts and you certainly are sending some awareness indeed it's a life time commitment!

i don't even worry about not being able to give the bird enough attention bc when i prepared my fish tank to rest for 3 days , i was staring at that empty tank for 5 min 😂😂😂😂😂

Tyler, I live in Michigan also and I would like to tell you about one of my FAVORITE birds at The Creature Conservancy, (there is only one location) Her name is Suzy! She was someones pet and moved houses and owners, she later started plucking her feathers...she was doing this to show stress, she is now living a happy life! (And she has a little sweater!)

Mango is being a distraction, your parrot is cute 😂

I have a pet bird his name is Rosie; he's more to me than just a pet, he's my best friend

Fellow bird keepers! If your in school like me and you have a bird while your at school put on like noises and lots of toys, lots of things to do while your at school until you come home No worries😉

one thing I recommend for getting a bird, there is nothing wrong with getting a bird from a pet store, but oftin times those birds learn to be afraid of people. I would recommend getting a bird from a local bird rescue for a couple of reasons. 1. a rescue bird may not be adopted for years, since most people want, "le purbred purfecttt birb who comes for 4.99 in le pet store" 2. birds there can learn to bond with you much easier, since they have usually been with previous owners. now there will be lots of birds there who have been abused or neglected, who will not be so comfterble with people. but if you take care of them and love them enough, they can bond to you really well. 3. most rescue places are based on volunteer work, so by getting a bird and the supplies there, you can help the place open, therefore letting it save more birds. I would recommend this for people with more experence

I've been with birds/parrots since I was like 5 years. Now I have 14 parrots, and everything you said is true. The bond between you and your bird is very special. I hade two Sun conure's, but when of them died the other one got very depressed. But arter a While we buyed a amazon, and the conure and he got best friends, and the conure was no longer depressed(both of them was boys). Both of them was happy to have a new best friend. (I'm 12 years old)❤💞💗🐦
