These 10 Things Can KILL Your Bird

If your budgie IS sick this video might help - https://youtu.be/xcOJ0QZ611I

It's so scary how there are so many things advertised for birds that are unsuitable and are so dangerous

My budgie just died today, that’s why I’m checking this out 😢

Regarding the scented candles that you mentioned in the video: A wax warmer is similar to a scented candle yet seemingly way more powerful than a scented candle. Even just having one in the same house as a budgie is asking for some potentially serious trouble.

So everything kills them, we have to suffer tragic losses after getting attached to something that is basically allergic to life.

In Korea, many people adopt parrots because they are cute without any knowledge, and say that they are noisy, dust flies, and can't talk. Some people feed parrots foods that they shouldn't eat, such as ramen and rice. I hope this video comes out in the Korean version as well, too.

I didnt even knew about the first thing with the lead toys.. thank you so much!!!

A few years ago, I had two birds named asher and rio. Asher was a pineapple conure and rio was a green budgie. My dad had cooked dinner later at night and forgot to turn the stove off. We all went to bed, we covered the bird cage, and I woke up to the most horrible cries from my parents. I walked out to see both lying motionless at the bottom of the cage. Those poor souls, I hope they didn’t suffer. They didn’t deserve what negligence lead to their deaths. I loved those birds. It was a hard lesson to learn the way we did. Please be mindful of your small animals. Their lives are more fragile than you know

So happy I stayed away from the metal and plastic toys when I started getting my birds cage ready. It took weeks, but my dad helped me with making toys and perches out of wood and rope (both were bird safe types) and my mom learned about bird safe house plants, and thankfully we had most already, and put the ones that weren’t bird safe outside. I did better as a first time bird owner than most people did, so I think my little cockatiel lemon is gonna live a good life. :>

2:24 i love how he is tired of scratching him so he hitted him

Parakeets aren’t sensitive to smell they smell worse than us but he’s trying to say their respiratory system is more sensitive which is true

What are the best swings for parakeets to use. I'm having trouble finding some that I think will work and be safe.

Is having unlit candles near a budgie an issue? Or is it just if they are being lit around them? I have candles around the house but I don’t light them because of the bird but also I have scent sensitivity myself.

I read a book that stated the same thing about clean water. My mom had gotten into changing our parakeet's water daily. As it gets dirty quick, from not just drinking but just fecal matter somehow getting into it. If we had known to give him spring water instead of tap it might have helped. We already had an older bird. He came from a previous owner. My mom took him off my cousin's hands who got him from someone else. So they already had him for maybe two years prior. She got him as a addition to the family for my niece to help with her being more adjusted to having a pet. My mom did the best she could giving him a happy home. And he lived a pretty happy life despite all things. But she tried to learn what she could for someone who never owned a parakeet before. He expired in 2012 due to either health issues or old age. But the day he ended up passing was the worse time of 2012 for me. Because I had lost my cat of 12 years due to age and cancer in the mouth. And then my mom's budgie fell ill on Mother's Day. When we took him to the animal hospital one male staffer decided he wanted to talk down to us about bird care. Passively aggressively lecturing us while the our parakeet was sitting on the desk dying before the damn paperwork was even started. My mom knew what he was doing and me it just angered me. This even added to a series of bad events for me of that year. He wasn't my pet, but in time we had him he belonged to all of us. So now I have a better understanding of just how hard it can be. Everything you mentioned in this vid my mom instinctively knew, which is why she had no problem. The only thing she might not have been aware of is using spring water over tap water. But even she knew that just like humans, animals deserve clean water daily, and a clean home. Which is what she provided.

Also, don’t feed them only seeds. Too much fat.

I had 4 budgies total, whom of 2 of which I owned (named tiki and star) and my sister had 2 more (kiwi, and blueberry). Last week before i headed off to do my workout, I heard the calling chirps thinking it was just them being dramatic calling eachother again (it usually happens, so that’s why I thought that.) Not even 20 minutes later my dad calls me in a panic telling me the birds had died. How? They fell into my sisters fish tank and weren’t able to get out (the tank has a small opening, but the rest was covered). That day, tiki, kiwi, and blueberry died. Star is still alive but we got her some friends (and we did do the quarantine period) and she does seem a bit happier, after I noticed that day that they passed she was very upset, you could see it in her face. Moral of the story is, don’t keep fish tanks near your birds.

Thanks I didn't knew this amazing work man appreciate it

Dust is literally everywhere you can’t get rid of it.

Thank you so much. I had a toy with a rope tied around some kind of toy? My budgie was obsessed with it and tore it apart, until one day I hear my budgie screaming in pain so sick went to check it out. Only to come to see my budgie getting choked by the rope. I ran as fast I could and luckily cut the rope in time.

Thank you for sharing! My budgies are truly special to me. These videos make all the difference as I continue to care for them 😊
