If they have a favorite nest spot outside the cage and become aggressive if you are reaching your hands around there, then you can grab them pretty easily. Otherwise, you can totally black out the room and make it dark and quickly grab them since they can’t see very well in the dark, and their eyes take longer than ours to adjust to the dark. If you are able to train your pigeon to step up or a command to go back to their cage, then that is even better because they won’t be stressed out when it’s time to go back, but mine was well trained, and even he could not willingly be placed inside the the cage, so I had to resort to the first two methods.

Yeah, that is the ideal. My pigeon no longer has a cage and is free roam just because of how large he is. My smaller birds do have a cage since it’s easier to provide one large enough for them to fly around in, and since I have so many, it would be difficult to keep up with the cleaning if they were free roam like my pigeon. I have cats too, and the smaller birds would be more likely to escape the room and get hurt if they were out 24/7. I know a lot of parrots benefit from having a cage to be used as like their own little space too, but as long as their owner let’s them free roam most of the day, then I think it’s fine for them to have a cage.

Haha, it’ll probably take lots of seeds.

@@BubblyPetz1 well the male bird doesn’t like me lol the female (at least the ones I’ve decided are male and female as I have no idea lol) is pretty chill so she might be easier. Just left the male some seeds on my window ledge as he likes to sit there while she is nesting and he flew to the open window then puffed his chest out and started shouting at me haha!

@@rubyredphoto Pfft, haha, he probably thinks you’re going to steal his lady’s heart with all those seeds. The males typically coo and act more “aggressive” so your guess was probably right regarding their genders.

Thanks for watching!!

No, they can be cuddly, but it’s usually the ones that have been hand raised that will be comfortable cuddling and being pet. Ones not hand raised may be very difficult if not impossible to become cuddly.

Safflower seeds!

Thanks for watching! They don’t chew like parrots do, but I’d still advise you to get a few different toys for them to interact with. The most they’d do is try to pull stuff apart.

Thanks for watching! I’ll have to make a feeding video in the future! I’ve always wanted a pac-man, but I don’t have to space for another setup at the moment.

Thanks for watching! I will be more careful for the future to pick the proper silicone. So far, there hasn’t been any issues from it.

Thanks for watching!!

Thanks for watching!! Yes, the same can be applied for canaries, although, you’ll probably want to hold them differently since they are a lot smaller and can escape more easily.

@BubblyPetz1 I have a question not to relevant to the video but I need to get some help with some bird stuff so I can maybe get things set up for canaries later but have to situate the chickens 1st. Do you know of a substrate compost that will help with the odor of the chickens waste on the ground? Its a fairly large yard with some slate and brick planters I need a substrate that will go in the big sectioned off planter areas. And then I want to grow patches of wildflowers. I want to put the canaries in the bird shed next to the chickens coup.

@BubblyPetz1 Or if you know of a good source for info that would help tremendously thanks!

@@kovenant7 I’m not too sure since I haven’t had chickens before. I’d think soil that’s not too damp and has plenty of worms, springtails, pill bugs, and other decomposers would help to break down the waste and keep the odor to a minimum, but I know chickens produce a lot of waste and like to eat bugs so I’m not sure how successful it’d be longterm. I’d look into poultry forums like “BackYard Chickens” to see what other people use in their setups, and you could probably get an answer from someone there with more knowledge.

Oh, I never knew they had electric baby nail trimmers! I know that you can use an electric file to soften and reshape the nails after trimming. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching! I haven’t exactly purposely tried to do that, but I have a tendency to keep any all black ones I find, and now, I notice that more are born drastically darker and quite a few are completely black. So, I definitely think it is possible to an extent.

If they have good ingredients and variety, then it would be a good alternative to save you time. Thanks for watching!

It sounds interesting. If you are able to make the rainwater barrel idea work, then I see no problem. I’d just make sure that wherever the canary can come into contact with the water is not too deep to prevent any possibility of drowning.

Thanks for watching!

Wow, luckily, it found you to help it! Hopefully, it fully recovers!

I don’t think he did. He was just slipping and sliding off my head which made it look like he did.

Thanks for watching!

Wow, that’s crazy! Thanks for watching!!

Thanks for watching!

Yeah, I later figured out that there is a quick disconnect for them that’s much easier to use instead. I usually still remove the hose output/input from the tank though because it sometimes syphons water onto the floor even after being disconnected from the filter.

Hi, he is an oriental frill!

@@BubblyPetz1 ok thanks

Yeah, they poop a lot, but I feel like it is less than a pigeon. Only downside, is that their poop isn’t as easy to clean, and since mine likes to sit on my head or shoulder, it’s annoying when she poops on me.

Omg, no!! I still have him, and he’s gotten very large, but I don’t plan on ever eating him!

@@BubblyPetz1 😅 glad to hear! I could never eat a Kermit

Wow, that is very lucky. It took my one pigeon over a year to let me pet him, and my other one still won’t let me pet him.

You’re right, haha, can’t believe I forgot that!

Thanks for watching!!

Thanks for watching, and good luck taming your bird!

Thanks for watching!

I would recommend that you get a good quality air purifier and make sure that you are providing bathing water often for the bird. Opening your windows frequently to let in the fresh air may also help, but I’m not too sure if any allergens that may blow in would trigger your asthma. Other than that, I would make sure to regularly clean the area that you keep the cage and wherever the bird likes to hangout at to keep the dust to a minimum.

@@BubblyPetz1 thank you very much for your reply. your help is very much appreciated. 🙏

Hahaha, I never heard such a thing about the bird “exploding”! It’s wonderful that you are able to keep your birds free range. I hope to be able to do that someday when I have the space and don’t have to worry about sharing a place with cats!

@@BubblyPetz1 The exploding bird was just funny, he shook and sent feathers everywhere, my Daughter in Law said I think your bird just exploded, just a funny bit. We did recently rescue a cat, so we understand that part,. She has a new home now and our birds are still running around, the house. I really do appreciate the reply. I will subscribe and look for more info. I can't say that I know birds, but I do love them. Alot of good information

Hi, anytime I make chop for my birds, I use it to feed all of them which includes my canary, finches, and parrots. This is why I make sure to finely blend the pieces so that my little birds can still eat it. You can feed this mix as their main food everyday, and I would just add a bit of the canary seed mix into the bowl where you put the chop and mix it up before feeding.

@@BubblyPetz1 right okay thank you so much !!!!

Thanks for watching! I ended up moving the budgie to a larger cage with my other budgie and putting the canary in his own round cage and the three finches in another one. They are only in the cage to sleep at night, and I haven’t noticed any issues with the hanging nature or roundness giving them frights. I let them out to free roam during the day, and when it starts getting dark outside they go back into their cages themselves to sleep.

Wow, you are lucky with that! I agree with investigating the backgrounds of your birds since it can help to pick out one without any health issues, a good temperament, if they were hand raised, etc. It can be helpful to know how they were raised so that you can be more accommodating when taking care of and working with them. Unfortunately, it might not always be possible to find out this information like with my birds that I got from Stromberg’s Chickens. I can only suspect that they were raised in an aviary/coop and didn’t have much human interaction from their behavior around me.

@@BubblyPetz1 I really did :) I didn’t get much information either 😭 he did give out hints that he sometimes hand fed them and they would hang out on him. But I don’t think they were 100% hand raised 🤷‍♀️. Who knows I didn’t ask because I didn’t want to seem weird but maybe I should’ve.. after all, being safe it’s better than being sorry lol. I just know that my pigeon, Solivan wasn’t for racing and that I assume the breeder only keeps pigeons as a hobby somewhere inside a coop! But I do hope there will be a chance I can adopt a rescue ☹️. There’s so many pigeons who need help.. though sadly it’s hard in my counties to actually find any rescues since we really can’t just take an animal, like a healthy stray dog or cat off the street unless they’re injured or heavily disabled to the point they cannot survive in the wild. Even if it’s a baby bird that was not wanted by their bird parents and it was being left on the ground to die. We sometimes get the chance to raise them ourselves. But I think you need to have a decent experience, since it will most likely be let out into the wild soon once they’re capable of doing so. Which is understandable for wild animals honestly. But most people here won’t get out of their way to help a wild animal here. And rescues are not anywhere near where I live ☹️.

@@hnnamb Aw, that sucks that people aren’t so kind towards animals where you live. It’s great that you want to take in a rescue though. Maybe you can look online to see if there are any pigeon rescues that would be willing to ship within your country.

Hahah, I know right! Thanks for watching!!

Thanks for watching!! He’s an Oriental frill. They are one of my favorite pigeon breeds!
