Our budgies eat both seed mixes as well as lots of herbs and wild foods foraged from the garden & the forest behind our home. Things like wild coriander, chickweed, shepherds purse, dandelion flowers, wild tall grasses seeds, etc. They are great pets as they are always hanging out with you (talking their heads off) but also great fliers so they fly off & away from our shoulders, much more than the way your linnies seem to stay on you, forever!

I have a female and male parrotlet and a green cheek. I would choose a parrotlet over a green cheek for sure. My male parrotlet is the best talker over my flock. My green cheek has as pretty good vocabulary but he can be a little nippy. My female parrotlet is a total snuggle bug. I do agree that budgies can be really great birds if you put in the time. But I just love a parrotlets great personalities!!

omg you seem so magical so glad your vid popped up! my latest job at a local pet store changed my life and people always ask about different birds so your whole channel is perfect

They are all lovely .having watched videos on ringnecks I'm very pressed.👍👍👍

I have 6 budgies, they are underrated & very under cared for on an overall around the world in my opinion, I'm always at home, they cost me loads in large cage, wood, toys etc worth it tho, they have such a fulfilled life and are very bonded with us, it just takes a LONG time it seems compared to other parrots and people are willing for the attention towards them, they are small so can often feel overwhelmed or threatened, mine are all english & american... not overbread, I disagree with buying or breeding japanese budgies since they die within a year or so no matter how well you keep them, the rest are fine in health if kept right!, writing a bunch about them on my birb blob idk if anyone will see this but wanted to write a semi short amount about them after spending a fair amount of time with them... basically wanted to say that their bond can become great with dedication! - love your videos btw :)

OMG YUKI is a celebrity!!!!!! She already is ordering me around!!! hahahahahahah Thanks for using her photo Kalyn!!!!! Hope everyone is doing well!! I will message you orivately!! xoxo

I have all three and every one of them are great birds. My budgie Bert used to say all kinds of things but when I adopted another budgie he kind of bonded to him and stopped talking. They are very smart, quirky and adorable little birds. Definitely underrated and sadly are treated as ‘throwaway’ pets. I see more budgies in terrible conditions than I have seen any other birds. My parrotlet Boo is an insanely intelligent bird, he picks up words and phrases that I never even tried teaching him and he is a contextual speaker. He is very sweet, adorable, and is pretty friendly with most people though he prefers me. He also picks up things in training a lot quicker than my other birds. He can also be a feisty little thing, very fearless, is quick to let you know when he doesn’t like something and will stand his ground with anything. He is my least flighty bird. My green cheek Leeloo is super sweet, loving, a bit skittish with new people but warms up quickly and becomes very loving. Definitely my most demanding bird, and my most jealous. She loves to dance, tries to whistle like my cockatiel but it comes out like little shrieks. She sort of says peekaboo, but doesn’t really talk. Stubborn as all get out, a food thief, and a troublemaker. She likes to steal things from me and fly away as a game. Her favorite thing to do is rip the paper I am sketching on from under me and fly off with it. Then she’ll look at me and start shredding it from her little cargo net in the ceiling that I now regret putting up for them because she knows I can’t reach her lol. She also likes to steal pencils, remotes, and pretty much likes to take off with anything but the many toys that I have bought her. All in all though, I love all my birds to death. You can’t go wrong with any of them but if you have limited time to spend playing with or interacting with your bird then a conure isn’t going to be for you because they demand attention. My budgies are happy being let out to fly around the room and entertain themselves. My parrotlet likes attention on his terms, he’s pretty independent but he also needs his one on one time occasionally. In my opinion no bird needs to be caged all day every day so I don’t think any are suited for that but some are less demanding and challenging to raise than others.

Thank you for this.. you are the best!

2/2.. Please do a cage tour of preferably your caique cage set up or a cage tour of one of your parents that have the best cage set up with the most toys etc, I been adding a lot of toys and perches in the cage of my two bonded male and female caique to keep them busy and entertained, But I also like to see other Cage set ups to get different ideas .. Thanks in advance!

I’m getting my first parrotlet soon! I own canaries. Love them dearly but want to bond and love on a small bird! Thanks for the information!

I have all three. Love them to death! Conures are the most clingy, then parrotlets and the budgies are pretty independent. My conure is the most hands on and friendly bird but I adore my parrotlets and budgies as well. My parrotlets are the most territorial and bossy and jealous by far but also the best talkers. The budgies are the most fun to watch and listen to but also the most dust. I feel like the bond you’d have with a budgie and parrotlet is similar. But the bond with a conure is different, you belong to that conure they own you lol. It really depends on your needs and what you want in a companion they are all so different from one another.

Been watching your channel lately and looking if you've had a long billed corella and wondering how are those birds as a pet

Great Video, My New Baby Sun Conure who just turned 4 months old is super bonded and very smart. Your Macaw was getting upset for you weren't giving her attention 🦜. Is your other macaw doing better? You said one of them was not doing well. I hope it is OK

I have 2 pacifics currently, they're super attached to one another but also love hanging out with me, the boy is really in love with me and prefers males, the female is sweet too and a lot more cautious than her brother!

Never buy budgies or birds from petco, petsmart, or other chains. All overbred from irresponsible breeders.

Can you show us your birdroom or where you keep them?

Hello I love your menagerie and I love hearing you speak about your birds. I don’t recall you speaking about Pionus parrots what are your thoughts on those? I feel very drawn to them as a first time bird person, I would really appreciate your thoughts.

We’ve got budgies. I grew up with a budgie. Her name was Josephine Bonaparte! She was a gift from an adult cousin who raised them. She was not tame. I think I was around 4 yrs old. They really are tiny parrots. Mine love balsa wood toys and natural palm leaf toys. Parrotlets are so adorable but I would choose a GCC. They just speak to me. (I left you another message on IG) 🥰🥰🥰

Is a geo cage good for 3 parrotlets

I wanna live in florida

a girl i grew up with named melissa looks JUST like you but younger. you never gave up a girl for adoption did you?
