      they're probably bonded, I had a blue headed conure that was very similar when we were together, but I was home and she could not be on my shoulder or on a perch next to me, she would scream non-stop. They're really cool to have bonded to you though, super sweet, and affectionate. They just chill and make cute little noises when they're happy

    You're a very smart and caring young man. Enjoyed your video. I've kept all types of birds for many years and have bred them. Everything you say is very true. Birds are not like dogs or cats. I feel so sorry for the birds who get so much love and attention and then are ignored when the novelty wears off.

      first, hopefully get approval from the parental units. second, realize that everyday is a day spent loving, feeding and cleaning after your baby. my son wanted parakeets so bad, he was about 17, he is now 23 and lives away from home and.....yup, his parakeets are now my baby's. so....they'll or she or he will be with you long after your 15....
      I recommend a budgie, as young as they have - so you can definitely pair-bond. it's very fulfilling to see them love you when you walk in the room or make noise in the other room. they're adorable.
      good luck on your decision.

    My friend has a bird named Polly and I wanted him to like me sooooo badly, but it sucks Bc he hates pretty much everyone. One day my friend and I were on the phone and I asked if I could talk to Polly, so they put me on speaker phone. Polly and I had a good long conversation that mainly consisted of whistles and hellos! Eventually when I went over to my friend's house I started to talk to Polly the same way I do on the phone. Now he trusts me a great deal, and even asks me for snacks. :) ❤️ I feel pretty honored to be appreciated by a bird lol.

    My mom bought me a bird when I was six years old. She never supervised me when I was handling my budgie but what she did was showing me a book about them and explaining everything that was written in there. I called him bobo, he was my very first pet. After school the first thing I did was going to his cage and feeding him. It took me a while to get him tamed but then he flew at my shoulder and nibbled my ear so full of love. I let him play with my brass cup that I used for crumbs from sharpening pencils and I still remember how he pushed it all over my table and made me laugh. I still miss him even though it has been over 20 years. He flew away one day when my mom accidently left the window open :(
    Please remember that child behaviour depends on the parents. Kids are very carefull with pets if you tell them what will scare them and what they like. When I was older, I got another pet. The two neighbour boys loved my rabbit to death so my mom let them into the apartment whenever they asked to see my rabbit. We told them how the rabbit likes it and they did really good and carefull.

    a lot of people think having a bird is all fun and games, some birds mate for life, when you get a bird, it chooses you as its partner, if you do not pay attention to your bird it will get sad and start to hurt itself, ie, start to pluck its feathers. birds are very high maintenance

    This video is very helpful... I plan on getting a pet bird, a cockatiel because from what I read they are very afective and social... I've been struggling with severe depression for the past few months.... I've been feeling extremely lonely and abandoned even if I have amazing people around.... And I feel like I need something to keep me busy... I want to dedicate my time and affection to someone... Without feeling like they get tierd of me... I really think that taking care and training a little feathery friend would help me a lot..... One of my closest friends haves around 5 birds.... And every time I visit her I like to admire them, listen to them... Or even sing to them... I remember having 2 canaries as a kid... But I was too small to take proper care of them... Even if I loved them.... I remember being afraid of handling them... Because they seemed so fragile and I was scared of hurting them... Also my mother wasn't ok with letting then outside the cage too often... Because she didn't wanted shit and feathers all over the room... She is a bit OCD , when it comes to cleanness... They eventually died.... The female first... Because she got seek... And the male became depressed and followed her an year later... Witch broke my heart.... After all those years... It was pretty hard to convince my mom (I still live with her).... Back then she blame me for the birds death... Because I was neglecting them.... But u can't expect a 7 year old to know how to properly care for two birds... I'm willing to get one to help with my loneliness

If you purchase a male, you can teach him to talk a little, say his name (like a pokémon, haha) and even sing! I have taught Chippie to sing, "if you're happy and you know it clap your hands" .

    We have a sun conure. She's 10. We bought her from people who were allowing their kids to poke at them with sticks or forks, so we said we need to get her out of there! She was hard to get to know us at first, but I sat in front of her cage with the door open and sang to her and within 2 weeks, she became mine exclusively. She will go to other people, but she only really is most comfortable with me.She has a small vocabulary...maybe 4 or 5 words. She is very jealous of other pets in the house, but tolerates them. She is definitely a mama's girl. Her name is Paca. They told us she was a boy when we got her, but we later found out she was a girl. I usually just call her "Mama". I have fallen madly in love with her and she is definitely my favorite pet in the house, although I love all of them, she and I have formed a very strong bond. Thank you for putting out this video. People really don't need a bird like this unless they are willing to devote time and care in order to keep it healthy, both mentally & physically. I take her out for at least 2 hours a day, more usually. Everyday! Love your video!

      Accurate. Had a friend a while back, who had a pet bird. We'd be on skype group calls gaming, and especially when he went afk, the bird would scream its head off. I found it amusing tbh, but it did frustrate other people on the call.

    @kannaredpanda Před 7 lety +281

    One big thing I noticed you didn't mention in the video is how long it can take for birds to actually bond with you when you first get them. I have a male eclectus, and have had him for about 5 - 6 years now, and it took a good 2 1/2 - 3 years for him to fully bond with me. Part of this was due to him having abusive owners before me, but even a bird that is well adjusted will take a long time to bond with their owner, many times taking 6 months or more. People don't think of this when they first get a bird, and after a month or two their bird still isn't bonded to them so they give them up, thinking their bird is just mean. This is super important to consider when getting a bird!
    Yes there are always exceptions, but the vast majority of the time it will be a long while before the bird warms up to their new owner. And this is when given the proper attention and care.

    • @IMakePeopleSaltyApparently
      @IMakePeopleSaltyApparently Před 6 lety +8

      kannaredpanda i know someone with 2 parakeets. They bonded within a month. It's different for eqch individual bird/owner. Thats probably why it wasnt mentioned.

    • @kannaredpanda
      @kannaredpanda Před 6 lety +9

      Of course it is different in each case. However that doesn't mean that your friend was the usual either. Most of the time from the people I know who have birds; it can take a very long time for them to bong. Emphasis on 'can'. I never stated that all people have to wait ages to bond with their bird, but it is something that can happen, and frequently does. If you read my whole comment you would have noticed at the end it said "Yes there are always exceptions". I'm glad your friend was an exception, but an exception is just that, it doesn't dictate the norm.
      It is something that should have been mentioned, because a lot of new bird owners might not realize this, and end up giving up on their bird. A rescue a friend of mine works at has found this to be the case with a lot of the birds they get in, the owners expect to bond with them right away or within a month or two, then they don't, and give up with the idea that their bird doesn't like them, or that they were too mean. It is a real problem that I worry not a lot of people with birds address.

    • @aquafractalyne5527
      @aquafractalyne5527 Před 6 lety +1

      This is reassuring, thank you! I figured it would take a while for my birds to bond with me as they're from a pet store and very skittish. I know they'll have long lives with me, thiugh, so there's plenty of time for them to learn I'm safe to be around :)

    • @AndreaCregooo
      @AndreaCregooo Před 6 lety +1

      kannaredpanda Thank you for the tip! I agree, I wish he would have mentioned it, and this is only the second video I have watched on the topic of considering getting a bird, but I was disappointed that he didn’t mention this and I have a feeling most other videos won’t either.
      I imagine it might help, if you spend as much time as possible with your bird, immediately after getting him/her.
      Does it matter how young or old the bird is when you adopt? Or, does it matter the environment (I’m sure it does, apply some common sense) the bird was born into?
      Also, do they sleep at night? I’ve been warned that they can be loud, but who cares about that while I’m awake, right? 😝 So many unanswered questions!

    • @xXdwsizevilXx

      Start over, go back to offering him millet seed (budgies/parakeets love millet) and getting him used to you being near him, talking to him etc. It will take time, be patient. After a few weeks take two wooden rods (similar to a perch) and train him to step up (say step up) by gently pushing on his belly with the rod. Do that for a few minutes a day for until you feel like you can try it with your fingers. You can do this, just be patient.

      You could leave them at your avian vet if theh have animal boarding. If that's too expensive then try to teach your bird into safely traveling. There's a ton of videos on CZcams about that. Just make sure you teach it before you actually go on vacation

    • @MetalChick30
      @MetalChick30 Před 8 lety +9

      That depends on how attached the bird is to you. I traveled out of country for two weeks and left my baby with a bird sitter and came back to find her near death because she got depressed and refused to eat, which led to having psittacosis as well. Some avian vets have quality boarding for birds which results in a pricey bill. Those are some things to consider before getting a bird. Also, some states and countries have ag restrictions on which birds can come into and out of the country.

    • @jessica6967
      @jessica6967 Před 8 lety +3

      Birds and hamsters are very different animals. I have a lovebird and I just recently got a syrian hamster.
      I would say that birds have much more personality, but are likely to bite a lot. There are also COUNTLESS household items that pose a danger to birds, so you will need an empty room, with only bird perches/cages to exercise your bird.
      On the other hand, hamsters are much easier to exercise, although are more fragile. They can only live up to 5 years, (if dwarfs) and 3 years (if syrians). This is better if you want a pet that isn't as big of a commitment. You shouldn't use hamster balls (poor ventilation and the hamster can't chose to leave), so must purchase an escape-proof run for them.
      Neither pet is good with traveling, but (in my own experience) birds will be able to cope okay with a day of travel. Hamsters should always be housed in the same cage (they're stressed easily), so someone should add food to their bowl each day. The minimum size cages for hamsters are quite large, so a pet-sitter will not have to clean the cage, unless you are gone for over 2 weeks. A pet sitter for a bird will have to clean daily and stay for at least an hour, to supervise their exercise. This will be very expensive.
      Basically, don't travel with either animal (both get stressed). If you can't afford expensive pet-sitters, get a hamster and give a neighbor a few dollars to top-up the food bowl each day.

    I have 8 years of experience with amazons. I had a very scared amazon who didn’t trust people and was afraid of anything new. It took a lot of time and patients but we ended up being the best friends and I could hold him and he was even okay with new toys in he’s cage and new people. It is possible. Just take time and training. And of cause love.

We've seen a lot of illnesses that we never thought birds can have so they need to be observed regularly for any signs of unusual stuff. I wouldn't even say they need as much care as a dog, I would say as much care as a child.

    This a nice video for ppl who are considering getting birds. I wanted to add just a bit more tips for starting bird owners:
    -Birds CAN die of sadness if left alone for too long or they lose the person/mate they bond with, they can self mutilate as well
    -Birds are more expensive than your average cat/dog vet, they NEED an avian vet.
    -Avian vet visits are about $200-500 each visit because they are specialized.
    -General emergency vets will not know much about birds at all UNLESS they themselves are an avian vet.
    -Birds are good at hiding illnesses and will not show them until the illness is pretty much established.
    -Small birds can still have loud calls, so know which ones scream and which ones don't (ex: lovebirds).
    -A seed only diet is lacking in vitamins and is strongly advised against, pellets are the best type of diet along with. veggies/fruits/cooked foods.
    -Birds love to chew on things including electric cables, shirts, wood (furniture as well), and the walls. A larger parrot can destroy a chair.
    Each bird has a different lifespan, energy requirements, diet, so be sure to do your research for any type of bird! Hope this helps!

So from that day i decided to spend more time with my IRN and i taught him tricks and i also gained his trust, wherever i go in the house he flies to me and he would sit on my shoulder for hours, he only shouts like 4 times a day and it isnt so loud, indian ringnecks are very smart and arent shy ,they also have a great personality and the more you spend time with them the less they will try biting ,but they need attention

      Happy TheCat My jenday is just like the sun conure in this video. They want attention all hours unless they're sleeping. Unfortunately they will shriek when they know you're nearby but aren't giving them attention. So Mango is totally content on his shoulder.

    I had friends with an extremely well trained, well bonded small parrot. It would walk along the kitchen counter and ask for food by gently saying “cracker?” You gave it a snack and it would take it and walk back to its cage, climb on top and then slowly start eating the snack. I wanted one so bad. Then they got a full on, giant, wild and completely untamed Macaw. They were afraid to reach into the cage (the size of a refrigerator) because it would try to bite and this bird could take off your finger like you or I would bite off a hunk of a carrot. Did I mention how loud it shrieked 24/7?
    You give wise counsel when you say not to get a bird on impulse. I would add never get a bird because you liked a similar looking bird.

  • @nixasteria
    @nixasteria Před 6 lety

    I never really felt a connection to an animal instantly until I meet a bird named Lenin. He was so sweet and would rub up against the glass at the pet store because he wanted attention. It was so heartbreaking but I know I’m not ready or in a place where I could have given him the proper amount of care that he needs.

      I got a cockatiel when I was your age. I've pretty much have had birds ever since and atm I'm looking for a African Grey though even though a parrot can bond with one person predominately I have had MANY different breeds over time and only my wild lovebird was only bonded to me but I see that to be a fear issue NOT necessarily just personality.

  • @xXdwsizevilXx

    Tyler, I live in Michigan also and I would like to tell you about one of my FAVORITE birds at The Creature Conservancy, (there is only one location)
    Her name is Suzy! She was someones pet and moved houses and owners, she later started plucking her feathers...she was doing this to show stress, she is now living a happy life! (And she has a little sweater!)

  • @belle369
    @belle369 Před 4 lety

    The one thing about having children around birds is sort of true. My dad bought our Parrotlet for himself, and she ended up bonding with my sister. It’s really sweet actually and she is usually a very crazy person, but whenever she’s with her bird, she calms down and cuddles with the bird.

  • @PhantomPhoenix105
    @PhantomPhoenix105 Před 7 lety +7

    As someone who grew up with dozens of birds in the house I can second everything said in this video. Birds are loud, birds are messy and birds are very particular about people. I had a Senegal parrot that loved me and was friendly towards almost everyone else. The only exception was my mother, she hated her. We also had a sitren crested cockatoo that was very friendly toward women and if he noticed that a man was closer to his favourite woman than he was, he became aggressive toward the man. This was cause for him to be re-homed many times. Don't get me wrong, the were both lovely birds, but these are things you need to take into account when you think about getting a bird. They're very smart and have a lot of attitude in comparison to most other pets.

    I'm considering getting a cockatiel. I'm an only child myself, and I'm a beginner. I've always wanted a bird, and I've saved up enough money for a cage, toys, food and essentials + supplies. I also have two dogs, so if you have any suggestions on how to keep my dogs away from my bird if I get it please tell me. Also, what is the best cockatiel food brand and the best store for cages, and toys? I'm currently looking at my local Petco 😊

    • @xXDrowningNemoXx
      @xXDrowningNemoXx Před 6 lety +1

      i have two big dogs and a cockatiel too. for me i just never let them stay in the same room together. if the birds on my shoulder i keep the dogs away. if you're going to clip the wings, look up how to cut them enough so that they can still fly away from the dogs if something does happen.

    • @carly2254

    • @ezra3194
      @ezra3194 Před 5 lety

      in my personal opinion a cockatiel is not a very great starter bird. They require much more work than a budgie or lovebird can, and hey are usually bigger than a lovebird or budgie. And for the dogs i say do what harly said.

  • @livolson148

    Absolutely right! What you mentioned is exactly why I'm taking it seriously and putting it on hold even though I'm dying to have one for ages! The topic you covered is this what you considered before buying one? Or due to your experience after you had a bird? I think it's important to give these facts and you certainly are sending some awareness indeed it's a life time commitment!

    I've always kind of been lonely in a sense and even though I have a lot of hobbies I don't exactly wanna do them ALL the time. I've always loved birds and now that I'm not a hyper 8 year old I feel that getting a cockatiel would be a great way to also help me with bad anxiety and such, like a distraction of some sorts. My parents basically told me that getting a parrot is intirely my choice since I'll be taking care of it so, I'll probably get it around the beginning of summer so I'm not busy with school and can give it as much attention as they want.

      It takes quite awhile to safely bond (If ever) two different types of bird. It is possible-but you have to watch them closely every time they meet and keep putting them in the same area (outside the cage) for awhile before housing them together or it won’t be safe.
