Such a useful spice!
The birds love it don’t they!
Thank you!
You're welcome!
The boys!!!!!! They are helping you. Motion sickness, awesomeness, I wish I knew this many years ago. I'm going to clip this in Squirts cage like I do with her herbs. Awesome information. Thank you Sophie 😊
They love to ‘help’ 😂 glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
Useful video
Thanks for watching 😊
Hi Sophie thanks for the tip. I use a lot of ginger in cooking and I wondered if I could give it to my conure. I have just cut him a small piece and he was not impressed, he just chucked it on the floor 😂. Oh well never mind, it was worth a try. I have started liquidising any fruit and veg I have left over then putting into an ice cube tray. He gets birdie fruit and veg ice lollies, which he seems to enjoy.
Haha sometimes it takes a few tries to enjoy new foods!
The ice lollies are perfect for summer 😍
Thank you!Our guys also loves it!
Please make a video about foods that stimulate harmones & how to avoid it/ignore!Any calming foods for harmonal season!?
Usually the things that cause hormonal surges in birds via diet are warm foods, mushy foods, lots of sugary foods, or a sudden abundance of food!
@@BirdNerdSophie Thank you !
Thank you for the tip Sophie. As I see this root, can I put it also up as a shredfing toy?
Yes! But I prefer to take the skin off in case it had any dirt, then hang it up!
Unfortunately Atlas the cockatiel does not like ginger, (it is actually one of the only foods so far that he doesn't like!) but I still really enjoyed this video! I love learning more about parrot nutrition, and I love this style of video! The first foods that come to my mind for future videos are mealworms and turmeric, but there are so many foods you could talk about!
I’m glad you liked the video! Yo can also get human grade dried ginger which might be more appealing to him! 😊
I thought ginger was bad.. surely will try.
No it’s definitely safe 😊
I've been wonderin give dry seaweed to my dogs for teeth but wondered if could use wi a bird as full of goodness
You have to check exactly what type of seaweed to make sure it’s safe!
ooh i had no idea ginger was good for birds! definitely going to give some to them ! also question! is it fine to take cockatiels on a long distance train? and just tips for travelling with them in general-(( not by plane at all)) . the train allows bringing any pets in a carrier, of course once theyre trained with it, just not sure how theyd manage there for 4-5 hours total going by car/train !! ( its to a place where they have tons of room outside, and another big cage with their stuff, so once theyre there theres no probnlem. )
They will be fine as long as they are comfortable in their carrier, can access food and water, and you ideally sit somewhere where there is ventilation like being able to open a little window for fresh air 😊
@@BirdNerdSophie are fumes from disinfectants, air fresheners, etc a concern when traveling with parrots? How could I ensure that my bird does not breathe in toxic fumes on a plane or train?
@@livi6886 not so much - usually planes won't spray much for the risk of irritating human respiratory systems! You can only do so much when trying to avoid these kinds of things on the road!
The birds like ginger in chunks and I'll give them a stick of it every two or three weeks, should I give it to them more often or less frequently...?
That's fine! There's no real set amount of time as long as its not every single day!
Does it stimulate hormones like how sweet potato and mushy foods do? I’m currently bird sitting some budgies who have lived with a happy hut in their cage all their life and they’re super agitated so I’m trying to curb their hormones as much as possible. I’m also trying to feed them veggies cus they’ve been on an all seed diet all their life. Is ginger a good place to start? Do Budgies typically enjoy ginger?
No, ginger isn’t known to stimulate hormones! And yes budgies often enjoy ginger! It’s sweet and savoury at the same time so very tasty for birds! 😊
Poor birds... good luck with them! I hope their owner is willing to work with them as much as you are.
Hi Sophie can you suggest a good brand of seed mix for my 2 year old conure...
She eats Harrison pellets fresh vegetables, fruits and cooked brown rice, quinoa etc.
There aren’t really specific brands that I recommend. In the UK, Squeaky Beak has a good range, otherwise I recommend making your own!
Thank you v much.
help with spices for cockatiels abd budgies please n how do u keep cages di clean. thanks
Some great safe spices are cloves, star anise and Ceylon cinnamon! I have a whole video on how I keep my cages clean 😊
@@BirdNerdSophie will try find on utube thanks
@@BirdNerdSophie whats ceylon cinnamon can i use cinnamon sticks
@@ashleighwalls3429 there are two types of cinnamon! Ceylon (true) cinnamon is safe. Cassia (Chinese) cinnamon is not safe so you need to double check before offering!
is dried organic ginger made into a tea or given alright or does it need to be fresh?
Yes absolutely 😊
Can small conures have ginger ?
Yes they can 😊
Where can I make pokemon cards like that haha
Haha they are from Pokepet Shop 😊
I think 💭 it’s pineapple she’s feeding her birds
Nope, it’s a stick of ginger 😊
Thank you 🙏🏼
Glad you found it useful 😊
