- Birds are often surrendered on Craigslist when owners can no longer care for them. That’s when things get messy...

when she starts talking about how people mass breed and sell budgies I looked my budgie in the eyes and said “don’t worry, I’ll never sell you”
he looked very confused 😂
Lol
Your really great bird was my first pet i ever wanted now i got 2 birds and you dont wanna sell your bird like me and your good heart like me
xD my budgie was sitting on my shoulder and looked at me when she said that... I’m just like yeah you where sold by a breeder but your allllllllll mineee
@@dzemalbecirovic4107 me too i took care of all my pets all of em died i cried so much i care for animals alot i would love a ragdoll cat kitten and a rabbit
😂
Those cages are disgusting and it’s so sad how often they appear with the label “suitable” on them. Birds deserve so much more...😭💛❤️🧡💚💙💜🤍
Yes there mostly bought for decoration they should be loved and even free not caged engaged not caged. I have 2 budgies with good cages which they love even tho El probably wouldn't like them... They have the life!
@@ellie.g6937 yes
They try to make the cages they cannot make everything
Hell I may have what’s considered as a cage that’s too small for my budgie but I at least leave the door open when I’m home so he can come out and move around. The only time it’s closed is when I’m either not home or at work (the only time I leave outside of work is for groceries and doctors appointments or too do laundry)
Well maybe they were told that the cages were fine and so they think it’s okay some people just don’t know not everything on the internet is true
Me: Cringing at those cages
My birds: Cringing along with me
I went to a pet store and it was so sad. There were about 10 budgies sitting in a super small cage. Not tall, the birds couldn’t fly very far without hitting anything. The ground was just covered in seeds and millet was just sitting there on the ground and there was only one dowel perch in the whole thing. It was so sad
Normally in bird stores(or shops in jeneral) the birds stay out in those small cages for when the shop is open but in the back there are normally larger cages
The one I go to they have multiple aviarys for the birds
Was it PetSmart? PetSmart acts like birds are pieces of trash.
Pet o has a lot of stuff for them
In my local pet shop, 3 princess parrots were in the standard cage setup for a pet shop, but 2 got sold (I hope) and now the remaining one doesn't say anything. I haven't even seen him eat. I'm assuming he does, but still.
I love how she politely roasted them lol

Haha I know she is so cute and polite❤️

I would take any of the birds. None of them deserve a life like that 😔
@@rachellovell7493 r u underestimate me im allso sad for the poor little bird😭😭😭
English spoken with Anhar Islam Sara
No, I’m just making a statement 😊
I got a birb from a breeder off craiglist. All their birds were very happy and very tame. Before purchasing they asked me various questions to ensure the birds health, and suggested everything it needed. Got the bird, and he was completely tame and comfortable with us within 2 days!
I hate when people don’t do research before buying birds!
The 1st ad might be the most careless, and actual bird cage, to small cage with 2 birds in it, and one perch that's a plastic one
I no
I have researched for a year but I still have no bird lmao
Yes
I hate when people don't do research before buying any living thing really.
"But I could fit in a closest. Does that mean I want to live in a closet? No." Lmao
i mean if she’s part of lgbtq she’d be living in the closet 😂👌💀jk loo
I’d like to lock myself in one and sleep

My bird is a weirdo. He ofc lives in a big cage but when I take him out he likes his tiny little travel crate.

I looked at parrots on craigslist and I felt so bad for them
Me too
Yeah it's so sad that people forget that they're living things, not decorations. If you're gonna get a pet, you cant just ignore it. You have to take care of it!
This just makes me cry.....
How could people be so careless?!
That’s just how people are,it’s so sad the cage is legit my travel cage and I want to get a bigger one :/
Why whyyy humans humans just think we're the only living things🥲😪😓😢😰😱😭

It is actually super sad and disappointing to see that so many people treat their birds like accessory or objects and do not even bother giving them the proper care. I have a budgie myself and I love him unconditionally. I am glad I have found this channel so I can provide even better care for my budgie because I feel like many more ppl should care for birds
“does that mean I want to live in a closet?”
I lived in the closet for 14 years 😂😂😂
Same but I'm still in the closet (a see though closet that is)

Wow that’s deep bro
hehe, still in the closet

Hi elle i have a cockatiel from 2 months she didnt make Any progress she hates me what can i do .
@@m.ei_j3702 it really depends on the bird and how much effort your putting into it but, if they really haven't warmed up what so ever all I can recommend is patience sometimes it takes birds years to get comfortable with people
My family and I love your channel. I discovered you a month ago and have learned so much. I have 2 adult budgies (2yrs old) and 2 babies(accidental). Im 39 and didn't know a lot of what you do. Thank you very much for what you do. Please do another "Cage Reactions" you showed me what I was doing wrong. I would like to show you the improvements we have made because you educated us. The only social media I have is Facebook and I'm never on. How do I send you pics?
Paolo Yes i try so hard but my bird isnt intrested . I work with her every days a few hours and i don’t try to rush but she just doesnt care .
@@m.ei_j3702 Check out BirdTricks here on CZcams.
I just got a parakeet yesterday I always wanted one, sadly I got a cage too small so watching these videos is helping me so much I'm ready planning on getting a much bigger cage for Miles (my parakeet) and getting plenty of toys for him!
I feel like she’s going to probably run a giant bird zoo with hundreds of birds but not a zoo like just buy a real house for just birds 💗
I wish she would do it in the future
This is just sad. I'm sorry but birds should never be treated like this. Sure we do make mistakes but remember to do your research and know you can commit your time and energy to one or many before you buy.

I watched hours upon hours of videos and did tons of research before getting my budgies and still don't feel that I know enough and am still constantly watching videos researching and asking questions because I LOVE them and want them to have the best possible life. I also have a hormonal sun conure hes a beautiful baby but im constantly looking at things to help him his previous owner pet him all over under his wing everywhere so I'm trying to settle him down and he hes very territorial but I still will do my very best to give him everything he needs to be healthy and happy and not frustrated
Shania Steinmetz
That is so relatable. I watched millions of videos about cockatiels before getting one and I still feel like I’m doing stuff wrong? I just find it annoying when somebody hasn’t done ANY research on cockatiels. This one girl I was talking to, did know that birds liked to be covered over at night 🙄
Don’t be sorry, the people that are treating their birds should be sorry?
I bought my birds from a breeder off of kijiji but she had a interview with us before we bought them! She made sure her baby birds where going to a good home!❤️😌
I love your honesty and i hope more people will think twice before getting a bird if they do not know how to care for them.
I GOT THE DUCKY SWEATER MERCH AHHH
YAYYY
Ayesha Nayyar Sorry, that was my sister.
I’ve been looking at Craigslist birds for awhile now and I recently adopted two cockatiel off Craigslist and one came with a injured wing 😥 now he is getting better. The cage they were in had only dowl perches and no toys with main diet as seeds. But I could tell the owner was trying to give good care and he really loved his birds thanks Elle for bringing awareness to these little birds .
Thank you for saving them ❤️
As a bird lover, I, on behalf of all bird lovers, thank you for carefully chosing your birds and helping them heal. Stay strong!
U are kind^ω^ too bad i could not adopt one my self cause i am in thailand and i dont know how the craigslist works〒_〒
my bird absolutely hates toys and gets annoyed by them. he hates basically everyone except mom. he loves mom so much that when he sees her it flies on her and doesnt get off most of the time. and when i go near her while our bird is still on her he gets pretty angry.
Kiwi an mango in NY hoppwell
I'm getting a cute baby budgie at the end of this week and I would just like to thank you for the info you provide in your videos. Thanks to you, I learned about the variety I should be feeding my bird and how to set up the cage so the bird doesn't get bored. I will be buying a big cage and lots of toys to keep my birb occupied and won't forget about the millet for hand-training! Thank you for your videos. Now I know what I need to meet the expectations of my little baby
How is your pet budgie
@@margrettheoldgranny9668 she's great thanks! I handtrained her and and she's very playful :D
@@m.d.e8458 aww what colour is she g
She’s not happy with most of them but she’s still so polite!! Elle ur awesome I’ve been watching your vids for so long, and I’m watching how you train your birds to learn how to train mine. Frostbite is half-tamed now thanks to you and your birds! ❤❤❤
I can fit in a closet but I don’t want to live in it . That made me laugh 😂

I love the way that she says I could fit in a closet but do I want to live there I definitely am going to use that reference more often because it is a good Way to compare people to birds

My mom has a quaker parrot and he has a small cage. I also sended this video to my mom so she can fix all these problems. I am also very glad that u sended all these helpfull videos to youtube. Thank u
I haven't adopted one yet, I want a parrot so BAD.
When I see videos of birds screaming, I think it's adorable! And when I see quaker parrots being arseholes, and being bitey, I think it's hilarious!
Them screaming is music to my ears 😂
The budgie breeder one towards the beginning just broke my heart.

Birds: PLEASE TAKE US OUT OF HERE
Owner: BIRDS, BIRDS FOR SALE 800$ FOR A CONURE
Every time I see someone call a cage small I look at my large ones and calculate how i could minmax fashion an entire freeflight area out of a closet because I still find mine too small despite additional freeflight 🤣
I just lost my bird yesterday. I'm glad he had a good life. He was a rescue bird and was like one of these birds. I rescued him and gave him a good life. Thank you Elle for teaching me to make him have a better ending.
I got my two parakeets about 7 months ago, and it was an impulse buy. Even though it was an impulse buy, I love them so much.❤ I loved them so much that I worked hard at caring for them and I have done my research.🐦🐤 My research brought me to your channel and you have helped me soo much to care for my babies❤😊 I would not reccomend impulse buying, but I wouldn't change my decision. I actually just made chop for the first time today and my birdies loved it!!❤💖

Thank you for bringing this to light, lots of parrots end up being neglected and being treated horribly. Cant wait for the part 4!
This makes me feel so bad the number of people who post their birds on these sites. You are so amazing to bring this to peoples attention!! Thank you for all the vids and everything you do for your community!!!! I’m a little nervous to buy off Craigslist though because lots of them are unfriendly/abused and that’s why they need to be re-homed...
I got my birds when i was 9 i thought i did enough research but i definitely did not. Watching your videos have really helped me and im buying a new cage for my birds that you recommended on your website! :)
Me and my lutino cockatiel luv watching ur videos
We always sit together watching ur videos as if it is a movie 😂
I got my 2 buggies like 1 month ago and had a small cage when I saw your videos I said I have to get a bigger cage ASAP and I did thank you so much ❤️😊
YAYY they must be so happy now!! ❤️

Some of these are really heartbreaking. I can’t believe how people keep their birds.
Why?
i feel like a lot of people think you can just buy a bird, leave them in their cage, and mind your business, but honestly… i imagine they’re about as much work as a dog or cat. i had one cockatiel for 15 years and just got a new one, and even i’m still learning along with my family. we loved our first cockatiel but upon getting our second one we learned even more things we didn’t know!! you just have to care enough to research and know when you can’t properly take care of them and give them to a new home that can.
I love your editing, it's so entertaining
Ufff I wish I could adopt ALL these precious souls and give them a better life.
Same 😫
100% agreed

the birds can barely fly around
and if there was another
bird or more it would be too crowded already.
I have budgies myself and i know how
to take care of them
Thank you for trying to educate people. Its so hard for me to see birds being mistreated.
I love how she doesn't get frustrated and always explains things nicely even if she already has explained
That first quaker parrot was in a cage specifically marketed for travel! I actually have that travel cage for my tiel!
“The bird can fit in a cage and I can fit in a closet but does that mean I wanna live there?” Dayum
There isnt even space for the birdddsssssss! ROARRRRRRRRR
I once looked on craigslist at birds, and there was an umbrella cockatoo for sale, in the description it said that the person lived in an apartment and that the breeder lied and said it would be quiet. They obviously did zero research because when learning about cockatoos THAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU LEARN ABOUT THEM!!!
My budgie is in love with this bell and talks to it all the time-
It's so cute I cant-
That's probably not healthy, if the bird is talking to it's reflection it can be bad for the bird as the bird sees it's reflection as a mate and can get aggressive when you try to take it away from the bird and sexually frustrated as it can't mate with the reflection, you should get rid of it most likely
You hit 200k !! ILY SO MUCH ELLE
Like it just hurts when families buy birds for their children to make them busy like birds is not our toys or some of them just buy it for decorations they don’t take care of them at all is so sad 😢
Anyone wanna go out and drink some cockatiels with me
Yeah, but i think that drinking finchs will be better

I think I'm one of those people who impusle bought a budgie and didn't take very good care of them cause i was younger, but now I'm doing a lot more research about how to gain their trust and whats good for them and how to make sure their healthy so thank you
I love what you did with Ducky wearing that farm outfit!!! It's so cute and funny!!!
Thanks for this video, I can feel you caring birds from the bottom of your heart.
I just love them so much 😩

I watched just 1 of your video and now I just love them I love your birds so much you are so fun to watch ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I literally can feel my heart break when I see a parrot ad on craigslist. Like it literally hurts me. 🥺😥😢😭
I don't know if this is out of the topic but I still hope u see this.
Ok so four days ago, My dad and little brother wanted to let our Lovebird go out of his cage in their bedroom. And while he was out, my dad and bro let him out in our living room which is ok.
And then my dad wanted to do a stupid experiment.
He left our front door of the house opened, to see if our bird will not go out and leave the house.
At first it was ok, but for a few minutes my dad and bro shouted our lovebirds name for like, five times. I didn't checked it out since I was doing something on my tablet, then my brother said that our bird flew outside on the top of our house roof.
So like any other people, I grab my mask, ran outside, and tried to find our bird. Two to three minutes later, I found our bird standing on the balcony of our neighbors house. I started to call his name a lot, but because of all the noise outside he got distracted and flew away on a mango tree on the streets. The streets were outside, but since I can't go further away from our house.. I didn't have any choice but to stop chasing him and just watch the mango tree outside to see if he was still there..
Some of our neighbors tried to help, but.. They didn't find him..
So i just went in our house, and cried in my bedroom.
I went outside again, but still found nothing...
I cried so much, that I started pretending that I moved on. From the outside, I looked happy.
But in the inside, my heart was breaking..
When I tried to sleep that time, (when it was night)
I kept hearing bird noises, which almost drove me crazy. But I did get sleep.
Two days later, my aunt and her friend got us another bird, but they are pairs. They are lovebirds, and they looked just like our previous bird but different colors and beak.
Their still scared of us, cuz their still not that bonded with us so we are gonna start all over again.
But all those couple of months with our first lovebird were the best, and I'll never forget him.
(If u wanna know his name, his name is Chico)
I won't give up on him yet tho, since there might be a chance he'll come back..
Well thx for reading my story.
Edit: Also PLEASE don't throw hate on my brother and dad, especially dad since he was the one who got the idea.
that's sad
That’s awful I feel so so so bad for you! Please please update when you find him

I WAS JUST LOOKING FOR A BIRD REACTING LIKE THIS IN CRAIGSLIST UGHHH
One time, I went to a bird market, I saw an African grey, whenever you point at it, It won't even realize you are there, half of its feathers were all pulled out, and it was put in a really small cage, it couldn't even move sideways... IT WAS PUT IN A CARRIER :(
Another time, I went to a pet store, and I saw the saddest thing....
There was an Eclectus parrot in a really small cage, it had to bend its head to fit inside, it even seemed like it couldn't bend its body to eat and drink, not even move its neck, not even move sideways..... IT WAS PUT IN A CARRIER :(
And of course, they were feeding all the birds seeds with dirty food bowls and dirty water tubes. I feel so bad. THIS NEEDS TO STOP.
7:07
This happened to my bird , I had her when I was 7 so I didn’t notice it , but she had injuries left and right ! It was horrible for her , expensive , and just horrible for everyone . I’m hoping she’s in a better home now and doesn’t crash into things 24/7 .
My bird was so convinced he was talking to yours this whole video😂
Me, man what is my life missing...
Elle, BIRD
Me, but my Bird can't farm or garden...
I got my baby bindi boo when she was three months old from a woman who had no clue what she was doing. She had four cockatiels in a tiny round cage on a seed diet. They had no toys at all, and ONE down perch with a wooden nest box. Everything was coated in poo. They were so horrifically scared and I’m such a abusive situation that I wanted to yell at this lady and take all away from her. People can be cruel and it needs to be stopped.
09:51 Kermit be like : wtf did u just say to me?!
The closet and human comparison with the bird and cage comparison was soooooper nice to roast them in a polite way!
my green cheek hears your birds and he tries to call for them its cute
my bird every time i watch ur videos: tweeeeet tweeeeeeet
Most birds spend most of their time in the top of their cage
My bird: always playing on the ground of his cage or in the livingroom or my bed with me 😂😂
Thank you for raising the awareness! It really is sad knowing so many birds out there are living lives that are not in the interest of the birds. Can't stand humans sometimes! :( Again, thank you Elle! Keep up the good work

Elle, you really inspired me to get birds, and now I have the cutest little budgie and 2 cockatiels
That means so much to me ❤️
@@ElleAndTheBirds OMG YOU ACTUALLY NOTICED ME
She is so polite and so cute like her birds😍😍😍😍
i just found a picture of me and my bird when i was younger and i noticed that she had only 1 clipped wing! i feel so bad now, because when i got the bird i was little and my parents didn't do much research, so i didn't understand much about birds, my parents were just like "here it's your bird take care of it" they bought food and everything, but now i begged them for a bigger cage, so im remaking her cage with better things in it, so i have a question, i've been trying to feed my bird fruits and vegetables, because she would only eat seeds, but she just licks it, what should i do? also what are good vegetables and fruits to feed your bird?
2:24 Elle really went "um chile anyways ❤️"
This break my heart.
We have 2 little birbs, at the beginning, they were smol (we adopted them as babies) so we bought a small cage.
When they grew up, we decided to buy a BIG BIG cage for them, because they needed space.
(They are still fighting even there is a big space 😂😂)
Idk where this obsession with trading birds like they're pokémon collectibles came from- But this was a very good and educational video!
I currently have have a small, cage with a dowl perch thank you so much for this video ! Today I will buy a huge cage and many toys and a good perch
