1. Disinfectant 2. Non-stick coatings 3. Paint 4. No scented things 5. No vapeing/smoking 6. Plants in house 7. No cords 8. open medications 9. No ceiling fans on when bird is out 10. Open doors and windows This is the rundown
Wait can i ask a question My alpha bird which is a female She had a child but never lets him out even if he's old enough why is my alpha bird Never letting him leave
Leaving a door or window open to a bird is like taking your child to the park, looking away for 1 second and then they're gone *edit* OMG THANK YOU ALL FOR 674 LIKES IVE NEVER GOTTEN THT MUCH IN MY LIFE!
DO NOT PUT YOUR OVEN IN SELF CLEAN WITH YOUR BIRD IN THE HOUSE!!! Just learned this the hard way!! My conure died because if this, I don’t want this to happen to anyone else.
I had a 15 year old Cockatiel that was my absolute BABY. In our okd house, when we put the oven to auto clean, (fumes are fatal to birds) we put her and her Budgie friend in a room far away with fans and shut the door. They were always fine! However, last year, we moved into a new house. It was time to auto clean the oven, so we moved the cockatiel, budgie, and our 3 canaries to the farthest room in the house, again, with fans, door shut and towel under the wedge. This is the sad part. Unfortunately, somehow, abd maybe it was the type of oven, but the birds were poisoned by the fumes. The budgie died first, to which we took immediate action and removed the rest of them from the house completely to get fresg air. Unfortunately then, two of the canaries passed, shortly followed by my dear Cockatiel. One canary survived because she struggles to intake air, thus not receiving a fatal amount of fumes (the breeder we received her from failed to care for her properly, we saved her). This was last week. So please, please, if you're auto cleaning an oven, if you can, remove the birds from the house completely, if you can. Keep the at a family member's for the day. Do not repeat my mistake. I miss my girl.
I'm so sorry about this! You even took precautions. But now everyone who reads this comment will know that fumes are efficient travelers. I recently moved and now have a self cleaning oven. I was excited and was definitely going to use it and soon. Now I know not to so you saved at least two birds (blue budgie and cockatiel). May those sweet babies rest in peace.
Thank you for posting this. I need to clean my oven soon. Now I know I should roll their cage out of the house when I clean the oven and air out the house completely before bringing them back in. Thanks for saving my birds!
The open door/window one is probably the scariest one, your little birdie could suddenly go missing and while you're spending your time looking for him indoors, they'll be running around outside. Every second counts when your bird is outside :( My mum left the back door wide open the other day, and my bird Oscar flew outside. I never thought he'd be able to fly all the way through the living room, through the dining room, through the conservatory, and onto the driveway in one quick flight, but he did, even with his wings partially clipped. He made his way down the driveway and into the front garden before we finally managed to catch him. It was a really close call, but she still hasn't learned her lesson because she keeps leaving the door open when she goes outside ;_;
GrinFlash Don’t assume the mum meant to do it - it was probably an honest mistake. My mum left the front door open momentarily once, and my little tiel was able to fly straight out of it and into the woods. No hope of finding him when the whole surrounding area is endless forests, but we tried our hardest and spent the next 3 days searching through the woods for him. My mum did everything she could to try and find him and she was really remorseful, so just because a mum is the reason a bird flies away, it doesn’t mean they’re a bad mum. She’s the reason I was able to have my bird anyway, so if anything I should be thanking her. I know you’re referring to the other person’s mum in their story, but it’s still really hurtful to others with a similar experience.
Omg my birds have been in the kitchen the longest time! But, they're not dead or sick or anything. Whew! Edit: also since my cousin has allergies, and he lives with us, i can't put my birds in the house or train them/open the cage cause the feathers fly everywhere. So we had to put them outside that's fine right? But now I'm kinda scared bc our neighbors smoke.... but like i said my cousin has allergies so we can't bring them in... help someone😐😐
Elle; the second way that paint can harm birds is if your bird chews on something that is painted and it starts flaking off. My bird in the meantime: *chews on the metal of his cage like he has 9 lives or something*
no no no no absolutely not I almost killed my bird with safe oils I found online. I took my bird to the avian vet because she couldn’t breathe and I didn’t know what was wrong she told me that no chemicals or scented oils are safe for a bird. She said that while some of them won’t guarantee the bird to get sick it’s like rolling the dice. What causes respiratory problems in one bird may not in another. she said that you should never take that chance because even if it has been fine it can build up in their lungs and cause sudden breathing problems or even death which is what almost happened to my bird. The vet even told me that the little puff of smoke from blowing out an unscented candles can irritate a bird’s lungs if they are in the same room. NOTHING in the air at all I cried for days cause I thought my baby was gonna die.
That’s absolutely terrifying! I’m so sorry you had to go through that, I’m so relieved your feather baby is ok! Thanks for sharing, hopefully others will see this and it will help their birds ❤️
@@ElleAndTheBirds Could you do some more cockatiel videos. During this quarantine, I'm doing research so that when its all over i can get a bird. However, I cannot find many care guides on them whatsoever . Your channel has really helped me find information, but could you maybe go in a bit more depth? Thank you so much,i have literally binged all your vids and there so good!I am obbsessed with your channel now.
I feel it's important I add to this list of items-- FLY TAPE! My late budgie Diddy was spooked out of my room once and flew into some flytape in the kitchen ;n; It was incredibly traumatizing for both me and him to have to cut the sticky glue out of his feathers and wash off his wings, and his feathers were a mess for a few weeks after the fact. I'm only thankful I got to him and was able to free him before things had escalated further... He was okay, but any type of glue trap, whether for insects or rodents, is downright CRUEL, and obviously very dangerous to pets!
Oh no! I f eel so sorry for Diddy. At least now he's in birdie heaven. There are so many products that should simply not exist. That fly paper is one of them.
thank you so much! I’m a new bird owner and when I told my mom about Teflon she just laughed it off and took it as a joke so when I showed her this video she took it more seriously. Thanks again!
tessa shields did you end up getting rid of the Teflon? I’m having trouble convincing my mum to YEET Teflon out the house (even tho I haven’t got my bird yet) I’m really panicking 😰
As an artist who keeps their birds in their room, I really really appreciate the part about paint, I never new about it, and now I know I have to paint outside my bedroom! Tysm!!
Sadly my house almost burned down, my beatiful parakeet smelled the smoke and woke us up as he was freaking out so we put out the smoldering item but sadly he didnt make it :(
Honestly, i'm so glad this video was posted.. It probably saved so many birds. It didn't really matter for me because I didn't have any of these things in my entire house. But thanks for notifying everyone about this type of stuff! ❤️
My grandma got a bird with three love birds and everyone bonded to her. When she died they never ate or talk like depression. But there was a way to make them undepressed, i ised my gramas voice. I know this is sad😢
I brought my budgie to my cousins house once. And he got free while I was out, because my cousin didn't know to close the cage before opening the windows in the house. I stayed there for an extra week to look for him, but it was no use. Loosing a bird who was bred to be a pet and doesn't know how to find food, especially one that is only native to Australia, was heart breaking.
Make sure you bond with that bird also because it’s very likely it may unfortunately outlive your grandpa and it would be terrible. If it didn’t have a decent bond with its future caretaker… Long live grandpa and birds!
Thanks Ellie! Very helpful and your birds look very happy! Most of the things that you mentioned are also harmful to people too. The air quality in your home is everything to a bird, you should always let fresh air into your home just make sure your windows are closed or screened before your birds are out.
JustPazzaz - My vet told me that chocolate was okay, or even good for parrots, so I had been giving my bird some small abounds of chocolate. I found out just a few days ago that this is not true. Chocolate shall never again pass his precious beak.
This could be good but there's so many misconceptions too. Like, there's the people who cry never give your bird dairy! And then there's my avian vet who is like, yes a bit of yogurt here and there is fine. I use the bathroom test. If dairy gives me the shits, I don't share it with my bird. We are both lactose intolerant.
My sisters rabbit chewed my phone charger whole my phone was charging in the one second it took for him to enter room then leave.... he wasn’t supposed to be in that room. But somehow he got in.
Elle I know your not gonna see this but I really appreciate that you give tips on birds because I’m thinking about getting a cockatiel with my money and I keep watching more and more of your videos. They have really helped me to make sure nothing to be cautious to a bird is in my house before I even start even getting stuff for it. I just wanted to say thanks for all you did! From: a local ten year old
@@givemeattention4163 They dont let them fly away though! I'm sure they dont want them to fly away and they to and try to catch them. Its a mistake to learn from and it is sad
i've been doing a lot of research about getting a bird while also in the process of buying my first home and this video was a huge help! I've been able to create a list bird safe household essentials that i'm going to need before I've spent money on non-bird safe items. also you're birds are so adorable!
I- *I'm gonna adopt a cockatiel tomorrow, and we plan to put the cage a little near the kitchen* Edit: I'm so glad I found this video, or else my cockatiel would die..I will ask my dad to move the cage outside or inside my room..
Ummm..... with this virus going around why in the flipping hell would you do that? I'd give them away before doing that. So my question is. How dirty do you want your house?
I saved this video to my birds playlist. I’ve wanted an African Grey for YEARS so and over the years I know a ton of things about birds and it’s always good to learn more about them. Thank you for the very helpful information!!!
This helps SO FREAKING MUCH OMG I just got a budgie 4 hours ago and this helps SO MUCH! Thanks you for making this video, you earned a subscriber for life
Thanks for making the video. Birds are extremely vulnerabale with their little hollow bones and respriatory system. I'd say the 2 biggest dangers to them are Themselves and everything that exists.
Could you make a video on how you potty trained the birds? That would be sooo great!! I literally love how your videos are so easy to understand!! Keep up the good work 👍👍 Also...you should do a video explaining your birds’ story!!
Elle, you’re doing a fantastic job. Please keep telling people to READ actual books as well as internet on their particular species of bird. I raised a baby Moluccan cockatoo, but now have 4 budgies. I’ve been reading a year to learn everything about thier natures and capabilities. My favorite budgie is... Disco ! He speaks hilarious phrases... !!!😂😂😂
Another invaluable video. Thank you so very much for this important information. I am a new bird owner, so this video might have saved my cockatiel's life!! The pet shops should have to tell you these things BEFORE you buy a bird!!
Thank you so much Live Laugh Birds!! This is really helpful because in two weeks I am getting a bird and I do NOT want any of these things around my house!!
I love the videos you make about what’s right and wrong for you’re bird. But to be honest I just see you’re videos because I love the way you take care of them, and they are adorable. I have a bird too, and I get all my inspiration from you! Thank you so much for sharing you’re techniques to all of us. Our fellas derserve the best, and you give it to them☺️ thank you!
Wow your subs are going up! The canary analogy is a good one for that. And awe give your flock scritches for me! I always say in times like this when disinfectants May be necessary, just do one room at a time with good ventilation and remove the birds to another area of house or outside in a cage for a bit. Nonstick stuff we as a bird community need to update on cuz now that red ceramic cookware and newer stuff is out, we need to keep updated cuz just cuz those 2 we know are bad, there’s always new types coming on the market and hairdryers & hair styling tools go along with this as well! Curling irons sometimes have a nonstick coating. Also electric candles are a good substitute for flame candles which are a no no. Febreeze as you said is no good, but now there’s tons of options in that area as more brands come out with new products. So we as a community should update that too to say “any febreeze or air freshener product!” Good list!!! Well done! Your info for your she is remarkable. Can we request a pearl & budgie play date? I keep hoping Marlene’s budgie and pearl become good friends. I see that group bonding well. I’d love to just see a 10-20 min free play vid. Happy Easter!!!
I’m feeling bad for you going through all your comments now that you’re growing your channel when you had 400 when I subbed you didn’t have as much work but keep up the good work you don’t need to do anything to my comment you already have enough work 👍🏻😄
Great video! Awesome information (like always) Also to add onto the window thing, your parrot could also chew through the screening so if I open a window I normally just crack it open. Also Heaters can have Teflon! Which is super sad. You should do a video on deadly/harmful foods next time too! Thanks! :D
your such an inspiration I really love you and u help me so much, I'm getting a bird and I'm trying to get all the information and help so thx I'm getting a fisher bird:)love you thanks
“you cannot spray any disinfectant in the same room as your bird” lmao, good thing I never clean my room at all 😎 (jkjk I do, just not with sprays and stuff)
Thank you so much for the information. For mother's day my husband got me an Indian Ring Parakeet only two months old. It is like purple/bluish color is beautiful. Already has bonded me so much. I am so glad to discover your channel as I have learned so much especially about what to eliminate from my house. What I like the most about your videos is that they are simple and fun to see. In terms of my house things, the candles is the biggest challenge for me as I am the type that likes to have the house smell fresh all the time. But I have to do it for my birdie. I do have a question do you have any suggestions of what organic things I can use to clean around the house that is safe for my baby parakeet? Any feedback will be appreciated. Thanks Evie
hello i love your videos (and your birds) you helped me so much and now finally my cockatiels are slowly warming up to me, without you she and he would still be scared flying around the room not knowing that i want to put them in their cage, keep up the wonderful effort girl!
Another good video!!! Fun fact, a lot of space heaters contain Teflon in them. Be careful what ones you use around your birds if you do. A nice alternative to keeping your friends warm are heating lamps. You can get them in any pet store, they tend to be in the reptile section. A nice alternative to cords, cause of birds love for plastic coating is shoelaces! I had a few packs of un used ones. of 100% cotton. I turned them into a bird toy. My cockatiel and budgies loooove chewing off the ends. I also added a bell and some wood beads to each to make it a little harder. And, as far as windows and doors go. The top 2 things every parrot owner should train with their birds is "Come" (to you) and "Return" (to their perch stand, or a cage). If you are in an area where you can free fly your bird outside, you should take advantage of it. I cannot in my area, to many giant predator birds in the air. Hawks and Bald Eagles.Just make sure you bird is fully trained before trying this, you may also want to look into harness training.
Thank you for making this video. I lost my budgie today due to candles. I was keeping Jinx ( my budgie) at my bf house for a week because I won’t be around to take care of him. My bf knows what to do but his mother didn’t. She burned candles around Jinx even when we specifically say not to. My bf wasn’t always around to monitor things Found him pass away this morning and pretty sure due to toxin. I miss my baby, hope he rest in peace.
About a year ago we didn’t saw the electric cable and he chewed the whole entire cable and i mad a short circuit and he was badly injured but thanks to god after a month he was back like nothing happened
I disabled the ceiling fan in my birdroom/bedroom right when I got them. By that I mean I cut off the cord that you pull to activate the fan then taped it up as well as covering any exposed metal on the fan so they couldn't access them. Now they actually love to run across the fan and hop from one part to the other so at least it still serves some purpose.
Your babies are so cute! I have a 16yo cockatiel myself :) I've had him since he was 6 months. People are always shocked at the things that can be dangerous to birds at home. I would add toilets (obvious for us but not for everyone) and house plants, especially now that everyone is running out to get plants.
Hey, so you might have gotten me a bird. It sounds a bit weird because you probably don’t even know who I am, but your videos are so helpful and informational (and adorable) that my mom has been convinced and now I actually have a chance of getting my dream come true; A Green Cheek Conure, my first ever pet.🥰🥰🥰
Thanks for the tips, well, not the tips. Thank you SOSOSOSO much for the VIDEOS!! I’m getting a cockateil for my first time owning a pet (other than a fish) in october, so I’m trying to watchas much helpful videos as possible, and yours, saeshells, and this other youtuber who owns birds, are the only videos I watch(mostly yours tho lol)
1. Disinfectant
2. Non-stick coatings
3. Paint
4. No scented things
5. No vapeing/smoking
6. Plants in house
7. No cords
8. open medications
9. No ceiling fans on when bird is out
10. Open doors and windows
This is the rundown

I can't understand this too🤦♀️😂
Why must a seed bag contain zinc tho
Kinda sus⁉️
Honestly, i'm so glad this video was posted..
It probably saved so many birds.
It didn't really matter for me because I didn't have any of these things in my entire house. But thanks for notifying everyone about this type of stuff! ❤️
My grandma got a bird with three love birds and everyone bonded to her. When she died they never ate or talk like depression. But there was a way to make them undepressed, i ised my gramas voice.
I know this is sad😢
I brought my budgie to my cousins house once. And he got free while I was out, because my cousin didn't know to close the cage before opening the windows in the house. I stayed there for an extra week to look for him, but it was no use. Loosing a bird who was bred to be a pet and doesn't know how to find food, especially one that is only native to Australia, was heart breaking.
I’m so sorry for your loss 💔
i’m sorry oh my god
U lost it I'm so sorry I feel bad well I lost all f my pets at least I have two more
I’m so sorry 😢
Nooo I am really sorry 😭💔
My grandma passed away a month ago and my uncle bought my grandpa a parrot (he is so happy for the first time in a month!) I will see it today
Make sure you bond with that bird also because it’s very likely it may unfortunately outlive your grandpa and it would be terrible. If it didn’t have a decent bond with its future caretaker… Long live grandpa and birds!
Thanks Ellie! Very helpful and your birds look very happy! Most of the things that you mentioned are also harmful to people too. The air quality in your home is everything to a bird, you should always let fresh air into your home just make sure your windows are closed or screened before your birds are out.
You should do a video on foods that are toxic to birds. Like Avocados, chocolate ext.
JustPazzaz - My vet told me that chocolate was okay, or even good for parrots, so I had been giving my bird some small abounds of chocolate. I found out just a few days ago that this is not true. Chocolate shall never again pass his precious beak.
This could be good but there's so many misconceptions too. Like, there's the people who cry never give your bird dairy! And then there's my avian vet who is like, yes a bit of yogurt here and there is fine.
I use the bathroom test. If dairy gives me the shits, I don't share it with my bird. We are both lactose intolerant.
Most of it is just self explanatory.
@@bolt1437 yes but not avocados or the stems of some foods.
Etc*
Her: **starts talking about birds eating cords**
Me: **Looks at my dog cause she chewed up my charger and earphones**
My sisters rabbit chewed my phone charger whole my phone was charging in the one second it took for him to enter room then leave.... he wasn’t supposed to be in that room. But somehow he got in.
🤣🤣😂
My dog destroys everything I love her
Dude one day I got home and my dog had chewed a line filter in the fuse part, with my PlayStation 2 power plug, HOW DID SHE SURVIVED?!
my parrot chewed up the charger but LUCKILY the switch was off..
Very well put. And elegant! Every starter should see this.
Elle I know your not gonna see this but I really appreciate that you give tips on birds because I’m thinking about getting a cockatiel with my money and I keep watching more and more of your videos. They have really helped me to make sure nothing to be cautious to a bird is in my house before I even start even getting stuff for it. I just wanted to say thanks for all you did! From: a local ten year old
There are still idiots who leave their door and windows open and I see their bird on social media lost and stranded on someone back yard or deck.
It doesn't only happen when they leave stuff open. Someone could simply open a door for a split second and the bird could fly out.
[WE]•MeetYourEnd • i have no idea how people are so stupid they let their birds fly away
@@givemeattention4163 They dont let them fly away though! I'm sure they dont want them to fly away and they to and try to catch them. Its a mistake to learn from and it is sad
Mia Arianna sound pretty dumb if your bird is able to get away like that. it's not just a mistake, it's certain death for birds
@@givemeattention4163 Well I'm glad you didn't have to experience it because I did and its devastating.
Great video. Pearl looks like she wants to be buddies with Kermit.
Thank you! It’s so cute 🥰
I love how she is such a good bird owner❤️, btw love your birds!!!
Elle, thankyou for all the info and I hope you are all well.
i've been doing a lot of research about getting a bird while also in the process of buying my first home and this video was a huge help! I've been able to create a list bird safe household essentials that i'm going to need before I've spent money on non-bird safe items.
also you're birds are so adorable!
Hello!
If you still have the list, could you possibly share it👀
Me:sees non stick frying pan *throws frying pan out the window mom:WHAT ARE DOING me:ITS FOR THE BIRBS
Ayeeeee frog siblings
@@sagec8370 ayy
I-
*I'm gonna adopt a cockatiel tomorrow, and we plan to put the cage a little near the kitchen*
Edit: I'm so glad I found this video, or else my cockatiel would die..I will ask my dad to move the cage outside or inside my room..
how is the cockatiel? i’m getting one tomorrow too!
@@frenchyfruuu9752 ooh gratz and good luck with it!
@@user-ck5kt1ci6k thank you! he’s very talkative since i got him!!
im getting one in 2-3 days! so excited :D
i'm currently binging your videos because I've been thinking about getting a bird for a veryyyy long time and your channel is my first stop
I have lit my candle once a long time before getting my birds, now I will never light my candle as long as they live 🙂 no baby birds dying on my watch
Your video's are really helpful for my research for getting a budgie. Thank you so much for making these!
I love how she sounded like a mom teaching her kid when she said "I'm sorry, but you cannot..." XD
Very informative and interesting! Thanks for warning me about bad things for birds! You just saved all of my birds's lives!
That makes me really happy! :)
@@ElleAndTheBirds :D
Me: I should probably throw out my lysol wipes.
Live Laugh Birds: Here are some things you should YEET out of your house.
Ummm..... with this virus going around why in the flipping hell would you do that? I'd give them away before doing that. So my question is. How dirty do you want your house?
@@heidimoodie5577 It was a joke...
Heidi Garrison there’s alternative cleaning products that work just as well...
I saved this video to my birds playlist. I’ve wanted an African Grey for YEARS so and over the years I know a ton of things about birds and it’s always good to learn more about them. Thank you for the very helpful information!!!
This helps SO FREAKING MUCH OMG I just got a budgie 4 hours ago and this helps SO MUCH! Thanks you for making this video, you earned a subscriber for life
Before I got a bird, I had many candles in my room so you might have saved my birds life! Thank you!😊☺🤗
Thanks for making the video.
Birds are extremely vulnerabale with their little hollow bones and respriatory system.
I'd say the 2 biggest dangers to them are
Themselves and everything that exists.
Could you make a video on how you potty trained the birds? That would be sooo great!!
I literally love how your videos are so easy to understand!! Keep up the good work 👍👍
Also...you should do a video explaining your birds’ story!!
Good tips!! I'm trying to give my cockatiel Romeo his best bird life. All of your birds are beautiful by the way:)
I love the way your eyes sparkle when you smile.

Duckie: *impossible mission music*
Elle, you’re doing a fantastic job. Please keep telling people to READ actual books as well as internet on their particular species of bird.
I raised a baby Moluccan cockatoo, but now have 4 budgies. I’ve been reading a year to learn everything about thier natures and capabilities.
My favorite budgie is... Disco !
He speaks hilarious phrases... !!!😂😂😂
Another invaluable video. Thank you so very much for this important information. I am a new bird owner, so this video might have saved my cockatiel's life!! The pet shops should have to tell you these things BEFORE you buy a bird!!
Thank you so much Live Laugh Birds!! This is really helpful because in two weeks I am getting a bird and I do NOT want any of these things around my house!!
I love the videos you make about what’s right and wrong for you’re bird. But to be honest I just see you’re videos because I love the way you take care of them, and they are adorable. I have a bird too, and I get all my inspiration from you! Thank you so much for sharing you’re techniques to all of us. Our fellas derserve the best, and you give it to them☺️ thank you!
No thank you so much for watching and learning everything you can!! Our birds absolutely deserve the best ❤️
Wow your subs are going up! The canary analogy is a good one for that. And awe give your flock scritches for me! I always say in times like this when disinfectants May be necessary, just do one room at a time with good ventilation and remove the birds to another area of house or outside in a cage for a bit. Nonstick stuff we as a bird community need to update on cuz now that red ceramic cookware and newer stuff is out, we need to keep updated cuz just cuz those 2 we know are bad, there’s always new types coming on the market and hairdryers & hair styling tools go along with this as well! Curling irons sometimes have a nonstick coating.
Also electric candles are a good substitute for flame candles which are a no no.
Febreeze as you said is no good, but now there’s tons of options in that area as more brands come out with new products. So we as a community should update that too to say “any febreeze or air freshener product!”
Good list!!! Well done! Your info for your she is remarkable.
Can we request a pearl & budgie play date? I keep hoping Marlene’s budgie and pearl become good friends. I see that group bonding well. I’d love to just see a 10-20 min free play vid.
Happy Easter!!!
This info is SO helpful. Thank you so much!
The last one gave me goosebumps I’m always so scared my birds are going to get outside
You are such a sweetheart. This is a great video a lot of people don't know this stuff. Keep up the great job.
I’m feeling bad for you going through all your comments now that you’re growing your channel when you had 400 when I subbed you didn’t have as much work but keep up the good work you don’t need to do anything to my comment you already have enough work 👍🏻😄
Her: *talks about paint*
Me: ho oh MOM WE CAN'T PAINT THE HOUSE ANYMORE!
You can just take him or she out the house till it drys
@@zahraaalismaeli7357 where am I supposed to take them 💀
Wait, maybe a bird sitter!
thank you so much Elle, i did not know about the air fresheners and the disinfectant spray and wipes.
This helped me so so so so sooooo much! I'm getting a Cockatiel in about a month so this helped me alot! Thanks so much :3
Great video! Awesome information (like always) Also to add onto the window thing, your parrot could also chew through the screening so if I open a window I normally just crack it open. Also Heaters can have Teflon! Which is super sad. You should do a video on deadly/harmful foods next time too! Thanks! :D
Thanks so much! Yes, I forgot to add heaters 😅 and thanks for adding the tip about the windows!
your such an inspiration I really love you and u help me so much, I'm getting a bird and I'm trying to get all the information and help so thx I'm getting a fisher bird:)love you thanks
Thank you for this information, I had no idea about MANY of these.
“you cannot spray any disinfectant in the same room as your bird”
lmao, good thing I never clean my room at all 😎 (jkjk I do, just not with sprays and stuff)
Ya same
Jk. GUYS IM JUST KIDDING NO GUYS I DO STOP SAYING I DORNTNRHT
This is extremely helpful for me because me and my family are thinking of getting 2 buggies 👍❤
Im actually getting a bird tomorrow and your channel helps alot! My heartu 💜
Same
Lucky!
Man love how your real 1,000% but we live in times where people are so sensitive of what you say but you’ll always have true Subs nice video
Thank you so much for this video! I’m taking home a green cheeked conures in a few weeks so this helped a lot thanks!!!
I’m so happy this helped!
Wow, we are waiting for our baby budgies to be resdy in 2 weeks and this is HUGELY helpful
Thanks for the tips really helps a bird owner hopefully you get to a million subscribers love the birds
Thank you so much for the information. For mother's day my husband got me an Indian Ring Parakeet only two months old. It is like purple/bluish color is beautiful. Already has bonded me so much. I am so glad to discover your channel as I have learned so much especially about what to eliminate from my house. What I like the most about your videos is that they are simple and fun to see. In terms of my house things, the candles is the biggest challenge for me as I am the type that likes to have the house smell fresh all the time. But I have to do it for my birdie. I do have a question do you have any suggestions of what organic things I can use to clean around the house that is safe for my baby parakeet? Any feedback will be appreciated.
Thanks
Evie
hello i love your videos (and your birds) you helped me so much and now finally my cockatiels are slowly warming up to me, without you she and he would still be scared flying around the room not knowing that i want to put them in their cage, keep up the wonderful effort girl!
That makes me so happy!! I just love helping birds ❤️
Another good video!!!
Fun fact, a lot of space heaters contain Teflon in them. Be careful what ones you use around your birds if you do. A nice alternative to keeping your friends warm are heating lamps. You can get them in any pet store, they tend to be in the reptile section.
A nice alternative to cords, cause of birds love for plastic coating is shoelaces! I had a few packs of un used ones. of 100% cotton. I turned them into a bird toy. My cockatiel and budgies loooove chewing off the ends. I also added a bell and some wood beads to each to make it a little harder.
And, as far as windows and doors go. The top 2 things every parrot owner should train with their birds is "Come" (to you) and "Return" (to their perch stand, or a cage). If you are in an area where you can free fly your bird outside, you should take advantage of it. I cannot in my area, to many giant predator birds in the air. Hawks and Bald Eagles.Just make sure you bird is fully trained before trying this, you may also want to look into harness training.
Thank you for telling me about the plants as i am getting a bird soon and i have a lot of plants around the house.
Thank you for making this video. I lost my budgie today due to candles. I was keeping Jinx ( my budgie) at my bf house for a week because I won’t be around to take care of him. My bf knows what to do but his mother didn’t. She burned candles around Jinx even when we specifically say not to. My bf wasn’t always around to monitor things
Found him pass away this morning and pretty sure due to toxin.
I miss my baby, hope he rest in peace.
You’re right elle, thanks for this information...i also avoid this all in my house ever since i had my first bird
Awesome, safety first!
About a year ago we didn’t saw the electric cable and he chewed the whole entire cable and i mad a short circuit and he was badly injured but thanks to god after a month he was back like nothing happened
That’s terrifying! I’m so glad your feather baby was okay!
Great info. I’d like to know which cord protectors you purchased. Thank you for sharing.
I disabled the ceiling fan in my birdroom/bedroom right when I got them. By that I mean I cut off the cord that you pull to activate the fan then taped it up as well as covering any exposed metal on the fan so they couldn't access them. Now they actually love to run across the fan and hop from one part to the other so at least it still serves some purpose.
Your babies are so cute! I have a 16yo cockatiel myself :) I've had him since he was 6 months. People are always shocked at the things that can be dangerous to birds at home. I would add toilets (obvious for us but not for everyone) and house plants, especially now that everyone is running out to get plants.
I put house plants in there! Aww how amazing to have had your cockatiel for so long 🥰
3:31 why did your budgie in the bottom right corner turned into a super car?
Oml lolll
My mom has non-stick coating but good thing my room isn't even close to the kitchen
good!
This was so soo helpful....two days before I bought two cockatiel birds ....
Just in general, NEVER put your birds on a pan. It gives me the goosebumps.
And especially don’t put the pan on the stove.
I was about to get a budgie, now I'm going to be sooooooo much more careful!!!
Thanks for the advice it will definitely help!
Congrats on 44k!
yes...I'm convinced now my house could never be a safe place for one
Thank you for sharing these helpful tips so when I have bird I can take of it bette.🙏
Thanks a lot it is so helpful information and I love you and your birds ❤
Hey, so you might have gotten me a bird.
It sounds a bit weird because you probably don’t even know who I am, but your videos are so helpful and informational (and adorable) that my mom has been convinced and now I actually have a chance of getting my dream come true; A Green Cheek Conure, my first ever pet.🥰🥰🥰
green cheek conure’s are so cute!
So thankful
Thanks for the tips, well, not the tips. Thank you SOSOSOSO much for the VIDEOS!! I’m getting a cockateil for my first time owning a pet (other than a fish) in october, so I’m trying to watchas much helpful videos as possible, and yours, saeshells, and this other youtuber who owns birds, are the only videos I watch(mostly yours tho lol)
Thank you this is so smart my mum was going to repaint the house and we went to our friends house with my bird
