Olive is really settling in with all her goodies!
She loves it! 😊
Lol I just saw one of your videos of cockatiel sounds and what they mean
@@namelss3938 Awesome!
Thank you, we are pleased you like it.
Since filming she is so much more confident and she absolutely loves her new cage, thank you so much again!
I am so happy for you two. A new cage and I better was so fun picking out toys . Thank you Northern Parrot .I check everyday to see if you posted something. Really enjoy your your videos.
Thank you so much Connie! I really appreciate you watching my videos!
I'm glad you really care about your birds! They are such wonderful feathered babies.
Thank you so your kind words! My birds are my absolute world, and we are trying our best to help other birds live their best lives too 😍
I'm early, but it's so late for me rn. I'm gonna sleep now. I'll watch it tomorrow morning with Fluffy 😉
Haha awesome! Sleep well!
Amazing cage setup!! Olive must be so happy 💙😊
Thank you! She is absolutely loving it!
I've been searching for a youtuber with a blue yellow sided conure for so long , so glad to have found your channel.
Lots of love to you guys and your birds ❤️
Thank you so much for watching! I really appreciate it!
Some great toy suggestions. Olive is adorable, sliding around on the perches, checking everything out
Since filming she absolutely LOVES her new house! 😍
This is such a great video for beginner or new bird owners! I just found your channel and I’ve been loving it!
Aw thank you so much for watching my videos - I really appreciate it! 💙
@@BirdNerdSophie ofc!
You upload so frequently, and I love it!
I’m trying to but sometimes we are so busy with work!
Super video. Love the fact you got a foraging wheel, mine love theirs. I have one wooden dowel too in my conure's cage, under her food bowls, but have drilled holes through so can hide treats or hang toys.
Thanks for watching Zoe! That's an awesome idea for the dowel rod! 😊
Great informations and just in time. Chuck gets his new cage in the next weeks. Thanks for this video👍
That’s awesome! I hope Chuck likes it!
@@BirdNerdSophie I hope so, too. He has only three directions in the cage. Left for drinking. He uses now his second seed bowl in the bidgie cage, we putted in there to minimize his raiding on the budgie food. Right to his sleeping perch. And down to the bottom foraging the substrate for sunflower seeds. The budgies use their cage multiple times over the day, but Chucks likes to be outside the whole day. A new cage is kind of building a house in which the bedroom is bigger than all the other rooms together. I'll keep you informed😉
Awesome cage Sophie!
Thank you! She's slowly starting to explore further!
That great! Olive is officially living the life.
I love the setup!
Thank you!
Amazing cage setup she is 1 lucky little bird
Thanks Kylee - she loves it!
I cant even watch these cuz my conure will scream hearing your cuties
lol ours do love to make noise 😂
Thank you for the tips on how to get my bird used to their new cage! I’m getting the A&E flight cage for my two budgies on the 16th of may.
That’s awesome! I hope they like it!
@@BirdNerdSophie I hope so too! 💕
Forget the cage, THE PAINTINGS ARE AMAZING
Haha thank you! 😊
@@BirdNerdSophie did you made them or you bought them? If that case pleasee tell me where can i find those
@@capcup6639 We were gifted them from a company called The Canvasist! We have one for each bird :)
@@BirdNerdSophie aww thats so cute
Nice tips!
Ah yes, the birb kabob. We got some from Amazon and they are coming in a month but I am pretty sure that the birds are going to destroy and love em!
Oh that looks fun! Crinkle paper is one of Fluffy's favorite toy parts!
Cool! Both Maya and Fluffy has platform perches but for some reason they like to chew the sides of it, hope Olive likes it just as much as Maya and Fluff Fluff
Oh yeah, the foraging wheel. Fluffy used to have it in his cage and I put sesame in there, but he didn't mind it at all so we just removed it and put a shredding toy in it's place
I think that's paper party? We also got that in Amazon and I'm so excited to see what Fluffy thinks! We are going to put that in Fluffy's cage
Oh interesting! I never thought of using plastic tubs for foraging! I normally think that they get more bacteria growth in it but it turns out u can use it! Nice!
Is that the toy that is in the boys' cage? I feel that I saw it before.... Btw, I think that the circular pieces are made of corn husk
Oh the calcium perch! We bought that too and I want to give it to Maya because her nails are getting long and she won't allow me to trim them. She has a sanding ladder but she doesn't use it so maybe this will be nicer for her and it has calcium which could help because she doesn't like chewing on cuttlefish
I saw that toy in the elleandthebirds video! It looks really fun! Hope Olive enjoys it!
Never seen that one before, but it looks really fun and shreddable. I think Olive and the others are going to love it 😃
Nice! I tried to make a veggie kabob for Maya but she didn't eat it and that ants came so we had to remove it
Oh I seen that toy before! It looks really fun! I tried copying it in diy toys by using cupcake cases and tasels but Maya destroyed it lol
Nice set up! Great video! Noisy birbs 😃! Liked!
Crinkle paper is loved by all of our birds!
Yes you can us plastic pots for foraging or foot toys! Adds a different dimension to the cage!
Yes the boys have had this toy before!
The birds are always noisy when we are filming lol! Would love to move somewhere where we can have a filming room but we can't afford to yet!
Thanks for watching!
Hi Sophie and David, can you please advise me on a good perch to help with nails and small beaks. I'm so confused with sand perches ect. Thank you x
These are the ones we use: www.scarlettsparrotessentials.co.uk/sea-shell-perch-small-nail-trimming
@@BirdNerdSophie Thank you so much. The other perches are all natural x
We need to be frieeeeeeends 🥰
I love the substrate on the bottom, what type do you use? I used to use corn cob but then learned it's not the best for Parrots. Then I used care fresh for my U2 but it was so expensive 😱
Haha sure! 😁 We use easichick which is dust free, bacteria free and cost effective! 💙🦜
Is that a kings cage? If so what's the size? what do you like/dislike about it? And can you change out the food cup holder
It’s a rainforest cage! My boyfriend did a video on our likes and dislikes which you might find useful! czcams.com/video/-hXHm_TcpLY/video.html
@@BirdNerdSophie thanks! Will check it out
What food do you put in foraging wheel? Besides paper what can you use in it?
Usually some seeds or their dry mix! You can use cardboard, substrate or just the seeds if they are finding it hard to use!
i was wondering if you had any advice for a birds first time out of the cage? i have budgies and am trying to introduce them to the rest of the room, but they always freak out and never know how to get back inside their cage.
Target train your bird through the cage bars first so that you can interact with them and guide them back in afterwards :)
Hello! im gettin 2 cockatiels and never owned a bird before, but my grandma at a garage sale picked up a very large cage, the bars are pretty spaced apart and im worried about my babies heads getting stuck or them getting out at night with out supervision. im thinking of putting spaced mesh on the inside (hotglued and pulled tightly so they dont get tangled up) but before i do and before i get the bird, is that the best way to go about it, getting a new cage is not an option, so i need some help here. if putting mesh isnt safe for them someone please tell me what else i can do
If you aregoing to use mesh, make sure the metal is safe, and use cable ties rather than glue! birdtricksstore.com/blogs/birdtricks-blog/safe-metals-for-parrots
How did u find the foraging wheel I've been looking a few different option for reusable foraging toys at scarletts and also northern parrots keep seing loads off negative comments about most off the ones I've I looked at have seen people say the foraging wheel breaks easy due to the plastic mount attachment
it's been fine! No problem with breakages but you do have to teach them how to use it!
@@BirdNerdSophie ok maybe it could be a user error thing with being over tightened or sommet not sure after some reusable foragimg toys for my Indian ringneck were she wont get board off to quick
Im sure you did a video on the daily routine but i cant find it and i was wondering if you leave the food bowls in all day. Im sure you dont but i couldnt remember and i was wanting to rewatch the video. Its the one where you make scrambled egg for breakfast. Thanks
Hi Sam! Is it this one? czcams.com/video/3Ab-qrSF_yQ/video.html
Thank you. The videos are so helpful ☺
@@user-cw6vw9ji7d Glad you like them! :)
is 2.2 cm bar spacing ok for a green cheek conure?
It’s a bit too big for most green cheeked conures! 1.5cm is usually recommended!
Been looking to upgrade to a bigger cage for my green cheek, what brand/model is this cage?
Hey! This is a Rainforest Bolivia Play Top Cage 😊
@@BirdNerdSophie awesome! Thank you so much!
Hello Sophie! I'm Vitor Hugo from Portugal. I would like to ask you if you have some technique to put your bird inside the cage, after a little time outside. Mine don't like go to the cage so bites me always! So a don't let him go out more because is painful put them again inside.
Hello! Here at some tips to get your bird back on the cage: czcams.com/video/UVip94KASSs/video.html
@@BirdNerdSophie thank you ❤️🙏
should conures be caged separately? i assumed so, but im not entirely sure. also, what is the best cage size for a green cheek?
If they are bonded to another green cheek then they can be housed together 😊 and the best cage is the biggest that you can afford!
@@BirdNerdSophie okay awesome! i eventually want to get one or two, but that’s not gonna be for another few years because my mom says i’m not allowed to get any more birds while living with her lol
I hope you guys don't mind this question since it's about a conure not his cage. I was wondering if you guys have tips on how to build a bond with a conure. I know I can't touch him now since I got him Friday. But once he seems ready if you have tips I'd love to hear from you guys
Hey! I have this video about bonding and taming cockatiels but the principles are the same for conures 😊 czcams.com/video/Kn0x4gALmew/video.html
@@BirdNerdSophie Thank You
I'm tried to recreate the party preener and the pouch foraging toy from your video about ur parrots favorite toys. The party preener looks ok, but I'm cutting lots of strips of paper to put in the pouch foraging toy. It's taking a lot of time 😑
That would be awesome!
Hi what cage is this?
It’s a Rainforest Bolivia cage!
What’s the cage called?
It's called Rainforest Boliva!
How can I avoid rust in a bird cage
I’d be looking at the quality of the cage to start with! But also make sure if your bird bathes in there that you wipe down the bars afterwards!
@@BirdNerdSophie ok! Thank you so much, I just didn’t wanna buy a 600$ stainless steel one it’s too much and cost more than the bird I’m getting. Lol
Northern Parrots does have some good products, but they also sell mirrors and cotton rope toys :/
I don’t think there’s a perfect bird store out there that sells everything your bird needs!
