Thank you so much for this! We are currently rehabilitating a budgie who was left on her own for three months in an empty house after the death of her owner, and this recording has made a huge difference to her quality of life. As soon as it started, she called back, hesitantly at first, but then more confidently. She's sitting more upright and eating like a horse. She's even put some weight back on!
We now leave this recording on if we have to go out, and we have high hopes it will help her recover and be a happy bird again.
but the happiest bird is a budgie with a partner :)
awwwwwwww that so sad
The budgie had no food or water for three months? It would be dead. You have no right to cage a bird.
Our two Parakeets are loving this. Thanks for posting.

*****
lol
haha nice weird comment
CZcams will have to take down this vid.
9 months ago wow i havent had this youtube login in a long time
DUN DUN DUUUUUUUNNN!!!
Thank you for this video
I played this for my first budgie (Azul) so she could feel more comfortable
And today Azul died, I played this for my other budgie Kiwi, it was so nice to hear him chirp again ❤
I just brought my young budgie home yesterday, so he's a little stressed by the move and the unfamiliar surroundings. This recording brought him out of a funk. As soon as I started it, he sat straight up, started looking around, and chirped a few times. It brought him right out of his funk, so thank you very much for posting it!
My budgie did the exact same thing
My budgie, Altaria, loves to chirp along. I adopted her from a facility that had HUNDREDS of other budgies flying around, so she really likes listening to this, it makes her feel more secure.
Romeo loves this! He screeches along happily whenever I play it.
Your not gonna believe this my budgies name is romeo dead set.

Thank you for this video. It is helping dear old Marty-bird cope with the loss of her life-long buddy, Denny, who passed away sometime in the night - may he rest in peace. I pray and envision his Spirit is back with my Mother - may she rest in peace.
My budgie went crazy when it heard this sound. It started chirping and eating! Thank you for uploading!

My budgies were just bobbing their heads like always.
Same...my budgie does the same. She is emotionless. I never see her singing.
Thank you so much Jacob for making this link. I don't leave my little guy alone for very long but he loves it when I'm gone and he loves it when I'm here. He is chirpy and bright eyed to hear this.
OH MY GOD THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
I just adopted this adorable and very tame girl who’s just a few months old. We don’t want to clip her wings until the dogs get used to her, and she got away from me this morning. I knew what room she was in, and tore it apart looking for her! Was near-tears when I found someone online suggesting this video. Ten seconds in, and she’s singing away-on the light fixture six feet above my head!
Thanks, just got 2 budgies and they are very shy so I play this in the background and they chirp along with it and it makes them feel more comfortable.
Mine too! :3
Dont touch new ones because the scared might get a heart attack leave them and play this music for 2 weeks and get a treat and put it the cage for some minutes
Its not very good you see. They might think there are other budgies outside the cage and might search and hope to meet them forever. I dont recommend your method. I had the experience of what i described. Give them toys.
GeorgeLikesMicras omg I'm doing the same thing
Same
My new pet started singing and chirping like mad!
same!
Same
Same!!!
yesss same
Valerie Senyk same here 😂
My one and only Samy, the budgie loves this video and so do I. A great way to keep him company when he is not outside listening and communicating with the other birds in nature. Thank You!
My budgie starts to chirp every time I put this video on for him, thanks :)
no problem :)
answers the blonde
Me too
Kanarinci
My budgie was having trouble settling in and so I played this and he is now finally settled in and chirpes along everytime I play this ❤
I just got two little babies and brought them home. I played this to help make them feel more comfortable maybe and they started chirping back. :)
Me too!!
Same
Our new budgie loves this and flys around looking for friends. Thanks for sharing
I got a new budgie the other day who was used to living in an aviary and seemed rather subdued with just my older one for company. Put this on and she is chirping along and SO animated. My older bird is just preening away and looking for food as usual lol!! Thankyou 😃
Am I the only one who listens to this for myself? I LOVE putting on bird sounds while studying, its so soothing.
Unny S same, actually. I grew up with birds but now I live in a college dorm and can't have any. I just listen to this because it sounds like my childhood
me too
LOL GET A BIRD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Maya Tamika oooh that touched my heart
My budgie just lost his girlfriend Emma, and playing this has got him eating again and getting back to normal. Thank You.
hope it will do the same to mine :)

Can you imagine the feeling of flying? Imagine the wind, the sun, the freedom; imagine the whole world below you. As a child, I would dream about flying, and I envied the life of a bird soaring high in the sky. But many birds don’t get to live this life and instead lead lives of misery in cages as pets.
Caged birds are either captured in the wild or bred in captivity. Both are horrible: One involves knowing what freedom was and the other never knowing a minute of it. Around the world, nearly every species of bird is kept in cages, from pigeons to parrots; people create prisons for every type of these beautiful animals.
Many people buy birds not knowing of the cruelty that they will be inflicting on them and often underestimating the care that a bird needs. In the wild, birds would never leave their flock, but pet birds rarely ever have the opportunity even to see another bird for their entire lifetimes. Pet birds are often kept in cramped cages where they are unable even to stretch their wings and never know the joy of flying or the happiness of freedom.
Birds in cages crave freedom and companionship and often exhibit aggressive, neurotic, and self-destructive behavior as they languish in cramped cages. Because of their seemingly bad behavior caused by their torturous conditions, people will often condemn them to living in dark corners, in basements, or on balconies, all the while locked inside of cages.
Birds are known for their complex communication techniques, their beautiful feathers, and their unique intelligence, but when we cage birds, we take away their lives. Buying birds contributes to this horrible problem. Birds are meant to fly and be with their flock. If you are a bird lover, consider buying binoculars and going on bird-watching hikes or making a backyard oasis for your feathered friends. Never cage birds!
The Shures sammme
@@carolwade3094 so I should release all of my birds into the wild for them to be eaten or starved because they never learned how to properly take care of themselves
I bought two new budgies yesterday and they are still very quiet. I played this and immediately, they started singing and became quite animated. Great stuff and I am sure it will help them settle in, especially when I am out. Thank you.
I just got two budgies 2 days ago, they're usually silent but with this on they chat up a storm and actually start moving around their cage. Sometimes it seems like maybe they're scared and fly around frantically, but the fact that they've gone from frozen to active seems to be a good thing at the very least!
My budgie turns into an olympic gymnist
PickFace my budgie can do flips and handstands
Caitlin Brice Budgies don't have hands 😂
J-Unity yes

I brought home my budgie (Ella) today, and when I turned on the noises, she got so excited! She had been pretty quiet since we got home, but now she's chirping away with her birdie friends! Thanks for the noises, she loves it! Has made the transition home much more relaxing for me and for her
Budgie LOVES this video, gets excited and chirps back. Thank you so much for this video:))
Just bought a very scared new parakeet and it started chirping almost immediately and won't stop now!!!! This really worked!!
haha awesome!

I showed this to my cousin's parakeets and they were both chirping and singing non-stop. It was hilarious!
My budgie started jumping around so happily! He was having a bit of a fight with one of his toys and now he is a lot happier and calmer.
Just got a new budgie to go with my older bird, and I think she's missing the noise of the pet store, so this really cheered her up, she started chirping and hopping around from perch to perch :)
Thanks for entertaining our little bird who isn't feeling well and can't go out to play. I could just see her spirits pick up...
hey hope it feels well now
Thank you for these sounds. They were my budgie's favourite, and he chirped as if there was a flock in my room. Poor guy passed away today. :(
+Pilot924 no problem :) im sorry to hear he passed away :(
Aww. Thats so sad :'(
Pilot924, I'm so sorry
I have also had a budgie who sadly passed away on the 6th day at around 4pm I am so sorry.I know how you feel.
What's NOT to like about this? Beautiful!
Nikki Noo haha thanks!
I have one parakeet and 1 canary in separate cages but next to each other. They just LOVE this video and I play it often for them; sounds like a bird party as they join in...so cute!
My New budgies werent making any noise untill i played this. :).
Now they make noise with it or with out it
Steven Sbmriw9509 Just acquired two baby birds myself!! The first week they were quiet as!! As soon as I started playing this...they perked up!! LOL!!
+uppanadam74 same thing I got 2 budgies yesterday both 3-6 weeks old (not exactly sure) anyways they both almost never moved they were very scared of the new environment until I played this for a bit and they completely calmed down. the female chirps away while the male just watches her XD
same
thanks for this, now i can leave my budgie alone for sometime without worrying about it feeling sad or alone :D he loves it :D
Raian Khan no problem :)
Jacob Nygaard ty too, my budgie is so calm, it never says anything. This video makes him "talk" all the time hahaha
yea same ^^
Raian Khan i agree. my budgie is singing away here. how nice to leave or extented hrs and know he is sharing sounds with other birds.
Merry Melon HA HA HA
My budgie just lost his pal and was lonely ,but since i started playing this he's more like his old self and is alot happier jumping around and chirping just like he used to ,by playing this i can actually see how much more relaxed he is with life,
Used to have parakeets but haven't had any for a couple of years now. I can only imagine how they would go absolutely nuts over this video! :)
my budgie keeps pooping when i play this
hahahhahahahah xD
eatashoe lol same
eatashoe mine goes straight to the food bowl lol
mine too and it goes to the food bowl
if mine isn't in his little plant he flies everywhere around the room
Ever since our female died our male budgie hasn't been the same, but I've been playing some o these sounds, and he's excited!
FFSultrAslan that's actually a bad idea. Let him recuperate before introducing another budgie
***** That happened to me twice so I just kept getting replacements.. The first flew away the other had a concussion and they were green so I thought that since my green birds keep dying, i'll get a blue one and its been with me for 3 years now.
I don't think it has to do with their color. Perhaps you're more cautious with your new bird?
Annabella Mercury Your budgie had a concussion? Damage to the brain? Did she fly into a wall?
I jus got a budgie and he loves it he tries to do this sounds to .. and he is super cute .. KEEP IT UPPP!!!
Thanks for sharing! My budgie, Quen, will start screaming at me to play this for him! lol He loves it!
i have two budgies at home,when i put this on my pc,they are looking so confused in every direction :)))
I have 3...when I put this on they start chirping back
+RAW-Gamer Same X.D
I had two of them. 2 days ago the female one died. The male one is so sad these days. I put it on my mobilephone and he looks very interested :3

I put this on for my two budgies every day! They get so excited and start tweeting like crazy! If they are having a quiet day, when I put your video on, it's instantly play time! My birds Tweetopolis and Lemondrop are fans big time - they have some videos too, my goal is to get them to sing in their videos too! Your bird photo is phenomenal!

He's a baby and he's only been with me for 24 hours - completely silent. But when I play this he pricks up his ears! (if budgies have ears) and turns his head sideways and looks interested. Hope hit reminds him of the mates he left behind. Thanks for recording!
I don't have a budgie, I'm just weird.

Our new pure white bird, misty, came out of her cage and is chirping! My children love her.
My husband found a budgie singing to him on the back deck. It then flew over onto his back. I came out and it landed on my arm and i brought it into the house, gave it food and water. It was very hungry and thirsty. I had a cage but it was small , so we took the cage into the office and closed the door. I let Fred out to fly during the day. and that night had to get him back into his cage. I said bed time and he flew over to the cage and walked in. I feel so sad for his Momma Someone is missing him so much. I have advertised on the missing pets website and our block watch captain sent e email. We since bought a larger cage and it is adjusting nicely to our home. I never new I was a bird person. My husband and I love this little guy but I still hope its real parents find us because they must be so sad. When I open the doors of the cage in the morning I put on this channel and play this for Fred. He loves it so much.
Thank you for helping a little bird get happy again.
My bird loves this!
Also mine :)
Pinkomatic that's too bad.
my LOVE it 2
I love this!
My baby budgie loves this!
My cat loves this, me (I hope) and baby budgie (as a meal)!

The Happy end. :)
I got a parrot yesterday. Now he has started eating because of this.🙂Thanks
I follow you on you tube.
I find Budgie sounds too cute
My baby bird is learning new sounds now
Mine too!
My cat's new favorite video.
Pocky Box my cat and my budgie are good fellas, even tho i always keep an eye on them chilling together...i dont trust my cat that much :p
Same here. My 16-year-old cat lost his interest in baby budgie on day two. But I still dont like him alone in room. My baby budgie was only (relativly) calmer bird in the pet shop, but now he (not really sure, but bet my money on "he") is alone. It will take time until I bay a partner for him. For now he likes his mirror and these sounds.
My budgies REALLY enjoyed these sounds!!! Thanx sooo much 😆😆😆
Thanks very much. My budgies like your videos. She does nonstop chirping when I play this video😺
My budgie started chirping VERY LOUD and jumping around in his cage when I started playing this for him.
Mine too!
cookie loves it he sits on my laptop and chirps to it she loves it
I let my budgies listen to this while I'm at work. They love it! Thank you for your effort.
+Brittany Holder you are welcome :)
Brought home my budgie a couple of hours ago and she was frantically smacking her beak. This has calmed her right down
my budgie likes to make noise when t hear this! Thanks!!

My budgie flew out the window and my other one is all alone so we're trying to lure him back with the music
We moved our Budgie to a new cage and he hasn't eaten in two days, but when I played your Budgie Sounds for him, he is eating again. Thank you, Ellen
Our budgie, Milo, sadly passed away at the start of lockdown, he was 10 years old. Yesterday, we were able to pick up a baby budgie and bring him home, he is 8/9 weeks old and was very nervous and didn't move from the corner of his floor cage. After some 'googling' we arrived at this video, and WOW what a difference it has made! He immediately started chirping and climbing around his cage, flapping his wings and beginning to 'explore' - like a totally different budgie! We have even spotted him eating after playing this video, we will be leaving it on in the background for the full 3 hours!! Thank!!! :D :D
my parakeet was going CRAZY when she heard that noise
Mine too XD
Same
my budgies love this. thank you. they chirp around and look at every direction.=）
My new parrot very much love singing with this video!😍
I love birds
Ikr, Me Too I Want More Birdies :) I Have 2 At The Moment Doe :( They Don't Make Friends So I Have To Do Something To Entertain Both Of Them.
SUGARMONSTER: If you loved birds, you wouldn't have any in a cage - ever!
LAURA DINIZ: If you love birds, you'll never put one in a cage.
Ever heard of leaving the cage open? This is the last place I expected to see such negativity.
There is no such animal as a “cage bird.” All caged birds were either captured or bred in captivity. In the wild, these beautiful beings are never alone. If they become separated from their flockmates for even a moment, they call wildly to them. They preen each other, fly together, play, and share egg-incubation duties. Many bird species mate for life and share parenting tasks. The evidence of their close companionship and concern for one another is plain to see.
Unfortunately for birds, the very qualities that we find admirable and fascinating about them-their brilliant colors, speech capabilities, intelligence, playfulness, and loyalty-have made them the third most popular type of animal companion in the U.S. It’s estimated that 40 million birds in the U.S. are kept caged and often improperly cared for-bored, lonely, and a long way from their natural homes.
Many people buy birds on impulse and don’t have a clue how much time, money, and energy is needed to care for them on a daily basis. Birds are as messy and destructive as puppies-something irresponsible breeders and retailers often won’t explain to customers.
And unlike puppies, birds continue this behavior for 15 to 75 years. Additionally, birds can be extremely loud and demanding and sometimes severely bite their caretakers. Because most customers aren’t prepared for an animal companion who is as curious, needy, and demanding as a 2-year-old child, countless birds spend their entire lives trapped inside a cage that’s too small in the corner of a living room, basement, or garage, unable to use or stretch their wings and deprived of the vital companionship of other birds.
Like dogs on chains, caged birds crave freedom and companionship, not the cruel reality of forced solitary confinement for the rest of their very long lives.
Driven mad from boredom and loneliness, caged birds often become aggressive, neurotic, and self-destructive. They pull out their own feathers, mutilate their skin, incessantly bob their heads and regurgitate, pace back and forth, peck over and over again at cage bars, and shake or even collapse from anxiety. Even if a previously caged bird comes into a home in which he or she is allowed a rich, active life, this behavior persists and is extremely difficult to extinguish.
The Truth About Bird Suppliers
Just as there are puppy mills, there are now enormous bird factories where breeders warehouse thousands of parrots and other exotic birds and remove their offspring in order to sell them to pet stores. These birds are frequently confined to dirty, dimly lit cages, where they are unable to fully stretch their wings. There is no federal legislation to protect birds in the pet trade, and successful prosecution of cruel or negligent bird breeders is unlikely under most state anti-cruelty laws.
A parrot-breeding operation in Washington state-which a veterinarian described as a “concentration camp” and where, according to news sources, birds “lived in cold, wet, filthy conditions for years”-remains open and continues to raise birds for the pet trade. The same lack of caring has been reported at breeding facilities across the country.
Disease Is Widespread
Bird-breeding factories often breed communicable diseases, too, from proventricular dilatation disease (PDD)-the symptoms of which include depression, weight loss, and constant or intermittent regurgitation-to papillomavirus infection, salmonellosis, giardiasis, and psittacine beak and feather disease. Sick birds can give humans or other pet birds chlamydiosis (psittacosis), salmonellosis, E. coli infections, tuberculosis, giardiasis, and other illnesses associated with bacteria and fungi.
Smuggling Is Common
Wild-caught parrots are also prime commodities in the multibillion-dollar illegal wildlife trade. Hardly a week goes by without another story of a bird smuggler who was caught with parrots in the air vents of his or her car, of small parrots being smuggled in jacket pockets, or of any of hundreds of other usually deadly schemes to import these valuable birds illegally. While many smugglers are caught, most are not, so thousands of uninspected-and frequently sick and terrified-birds enter the companion bird trade each year.
When the Novelty Wears Off
When the birds who seemed so cute and lovable in pet stores turn out to be noisy, messy, and demanding of people’s attention, many are later abandoned, and few live out their natural life spans. About 85 percent of parrots are resold, given away, or abandoned within two years of being purchased. If they are ignored, they suffer in isolation and may become even noisier, more aggressive, or more despondent.
Caged companion birds are typically not native to the areas where they reside. They cannot be released simply by opening a window and letting them fly away (which would be considered a crime of abandonment in most states). Without the proper climate, food sources, and habitat, escaped or released captive birds become prey for free-roaming cats and wildlife or are doomed to suffer lingering deaths because of exposure, starvation, or injuries.
Responsible rescue groups, animal shelters, and sanctuaries can only place or care for a small percentage of these unwanted birds. To complicate matters further, some alleged “sanctuaries” are actually thinly disguised breeding colonies or hoarding situations in which birds are housed in extremely crowded conditions, receive minimal care and attention, and may even be sold back into the pet trade.
If you or a friend have a lot of time and resources and remain determined to have a bird companion, please adopt a homeless one from a shelter or rescue group, but only after fully researching their dietary, behavioral, and other needs. You are in for a great deal of work!
Buying birds from pet shops contributes to a horrible cycle of disease and abuse, so to appreciate birds without buying and caging them, consider creating your own backyard sanctuary. ~~~December 10, 20107~~~Monday~~~
Concentration camp?! Are you out of your fucking mind? You’re comparing some unscrupulous bird breeders to German concentration camps in which millions of human beings were tortured and put to death?? Get a fucking grip.
My budgie 'Baby' is on top of her cage and bopping her head up and down while showing how loud she can get. Now she's on my shoulder performing. i keep her cage opened so she can choose when she wants to come out. Thanks Jacob!!!!!
I play this to my budgies all the time. They love it!
