Buying Our Parakeet At Petco Our First Budgie What To Expect

Guys .. we did buy skittles tons of toys and he was mostly flying around in the house than in his cage I have a few more videos with skittle in my channel ( wish I would have made more videos with him) unfortunately skittles is not with us anymore and we will be getting a new budgie soon and tell you more about what happened to skittles. Thanks for all you guys recommendations regarding skittles.. you guys are awesome .!! ❤

You guys need a bigger cage that one is to small

I don’t recommend feeding them seeds everyday, mine got sick because I fed her that everyday..make sure you have a variety of fruits and veggies!(: I recommend getting “Harrison’s” pellets!(: there great for budgies!(:

When adopting a bird always consider buying the largest cage you can afford. Buy and set up the cage before you bring your pet bird home so the bird is not stuck in the box carrier for so long. It's better to have at least 2 birds so the bird has a friend...Congratulations on your new pet... I have 9 budgies in open cages so they can fly around.

I have the same bird!! And he is so cute it takes patience to get them on ur finger if they are scared but i got him on my finger in like a week!🤗 I recommend buying millet for when they do something good

I have a budgie and a parrotlet. People are surprised that they get along. Just make sure you don't use teflon cookware, no avocado, no perfume, no deodorant airspray, no incense. Also use a curtain on your window. You don't want your bird to slam into the window. One guy, his bird flew into the window and now is half paralyzed.

Budgies are meant to be in flocks so it's always advisable to buy a pair rather than buying a single bird because being alone will make them stressed out so better get him a companion 😊

A budgie can die from loneliness. You should’ve gotten two. Clearly it was happy with the others while at the store.

Thats a beautiful budgie! And I love the name Skittles! Let me give you tips 😀I recommend giving the budgie a pellet diet, like Harrisons bird pellets from Amazon. You cant give a Budgie an all millet diet (it could make them obese and they could get liver disease), instead give them millet when training You could also get a bigger cage like a flight cage so you could put more perches, foraging toys, and destroyable toys (Budgies can be very messy) When you get perches DONT get them dowel perches because they can cause the bird to get Arthritis because their feet are going to be in the same position, instead get them natural wood perches. for food bowls, get them 3 stainless steel bowls, one for dry food like pellets, one for wet food like fruits, veggies, chop, etc, and the other for water. Keep doing your research to make sure your parrot is happy and healthy! I got most of my info from a channel called "ElleAndTheBirds", she has great content and knows how to take care of them! You could also look at other channels too if you would like! You can also get play trees or play stands, they arent needed but its something the budgie would love! Im not saying anything mean, Im just making sure others dont do anything wrong :) I myself dont have everything a Budgie should have because of money, plus its hard to convince my parents to get the right things for my bird. I know you might not be able to get some of these things because of money issues, but when you can afford it, thats when you should get things that you would need. Budgies can also be scared of literally anything new, which is normal. If you want switch out toys every once in awhile so your bird has more to explore. Dont get anything with sand because it can irritate and even cut their feet. And dont always follow what pet store employees say, they are most likely told what to recommend and they probably havent even owned a bird nor done research and could be wrong. Sorry this is such a long paragraph but have a good day!

I have 2 parakeets gawd damn I have a green and white one and soon gonna get 4 birds help just be careful some are very aggressive like one I have almost bit my brother and he is sensitive (well she bit me a lot of times) BUT NICE PETS! I recommend also not grabbing them a lot or letting them out cuz they can die and make sure to buy a lot of toys they get very bored honestly also sorry.. they poop ALOT when you grab them or sm That’s just some! if I’m wrong tell me I’ve only had 2 for like 4 months tho do research b4 getting one! Btw don’t be scared if you just see them standing still without blinking in the night or day! They’re prob sleeping!

Don’t put your bird In the kitchen they die from cooking

hi! maybe buy natural perches, they need a lot of variety for their feet or it can cause problems ^^

You can get a bigger cage from amazon for the same price lol but nice video! I subscribed but you should get some natural perches only dowel perches are really bad and they can get problems with there feet. One dowel perch is okay if you have other perches and you can also carve the dowels and make them bumpy if you dont want to throw them away.

its crazy that the people who own this channel still respond to comments even after 1 year

I am VERY surprised to see bird cages that big at Petco! Their usually WAYYY smaller

also don't use air fryer. It will kill the bird. No chocolate, no tomato or apple seeds. Learn as much as possible about birds when you raise them. I always take my birds to the bird store and have their beaks and toe nails trimmed and learn from the store owner. Don't use certain wiremesh because they can be toxic. Use only stainless steel wire mesh.

I recommend a bigger cage

do not keep only one budgie, it is torturing.

K lindo! I hope you guys are doing well with the bird! I have a conure and she is so much fun 🤩 the cage is small though but if you guys got a larger one that’s great! :D also get her/him MANY TOYS so that she or he can play with them or destroy them because that’s what they love to do :) so 2 more things if you can give him/her some veggies that would be wonderful and also the perches should be different sizes and textures 😄 your bird is so cute!!!

He is gonna need a bigger cage btw.
