    Hi Elle. I saw your story on Instagram and I wanted to say I'm so sorry for the loss of Bluebell. I want you to know that it wasn't your fault and that its absolutely alright to cry and grieve at a time like this. Take care of yourself and the rest of the flock.

    • @CupcakeLOVER_
      @CupcakeLOVER_ Před rokem +5

      I think u should post this on her recent videos or on her Instagram post cuz she doesn't respond or see comments on videos made before Bluebell passed away. Plus sometimes some ppl don't like to talk about there bird passing away . Am not sure if Elle doesn't but maybe not talk about it.

    • @CupcakeLOVER_
      @CupcakeLOVER_ Před rokem +3

      She made so many memories with her and that makes it hard for her to talk about it maybe wait a couple of months to talk about it cuz that gives her some time to get used to not having Bluebell. but maybe am wrong or maybe am not

    Finally Ducky is the star of the video!! Also, how so I switch my budgie from seeds to pellets? If I mix then together he will just pick out the seeds and he's bit interested in pellets. He doesn't like coloured pellets. And if I crush the pellets and mix them with seeds and add some water he still only picks out then seeds. Please help me...

    • @cherryslalom7596
      @cherryslalom7596 Před rokem +1

      What you can try and do is maybe get his/her fav fruits and crush up the pellets into a powder and put them on top, you want them to get familiar with the taste of your pellets so they will be more likely to eat it in the future. I was struggling for a while to get my green cheek to eat pellets but he soon started eating them.

      By putting it in a flat dish
      Straight from the sink
      A spray bottle
      And many other ways
      She’s still young so she’s gonna be a little weary of almost everything around her
      The key is patience and consistency. Let her go at her own pace

    • @Dreymidnight
      @Dreymidnight Před rokem

      Give them time. The first thing you shouldn’t do is invade their space. A cage is a bird’s territory when you invade a bird’s territory they feel threatened. Instead of going into the aviary try to calmly and respectfully interact with them outside of it.
      Like:
      Giving them treats through the cracks
      Speaking to them calmly
      Doing a quiet activity near them
      As they slowly get used to you you can start doing things like stepping into the aviary for a very short amount of time. Soon they’ll feel that you are with them
      I will warn you that they won’t get used to you right away sometimes it can just take a week or 2 and other times it can take years
      Let the birds go at their own pace

    Elle I really love your videos , I still do t have the best care for them , because I don't have enough space , and I got birds before I knew anything about them. But I got two more birds after my first birds and they bred two times. I tried to stop them by taking the nest box away , and they don't have any nesting toys or anything. They stopped breeding now. So I would like to know what would you do in this situation. When you already have 8 budgies but three just add in your flock. So it's kind of hard taking them all out together. I'm afraid they will fight and won't get a long. So please give me some tips.
