My Budgie's New Set Up!! | Myths About ROUND Cages For Birds

Үй жануарлары мен аңдар

People always ask if I even USE a cage for my budgie Blueberry since they NEVER see him in one (unless we are traveling, then they see his carrier!) and since I wasn't happy with the original recommendation from the petshop for his cage (and found myself not using it, and instead creating enabling environments for him through our foraging playstands all over the house) I wasn't about to show a cage I wasn't fond of or using.
But then I made BIG PLANS for Blueberry on having the ultimate space (the porch!!!) since I can't rotate him in my usual aviaries (I recently had those all lifted onto casters and it leaves too much space at the bottom for him to crawl right out!) ... so when Omlet approached me about trying out their enclosure, I thought it would fit perfectly in our home and be a great safe place to try out for when we can't have Blueberry out and about.
Check out Omlet enclosures here: bit.ly/2YAeqvM
Comment with links to the cage YOU use for your budgies! I'd love to see more variety out there, especially if you guys have some cool flight cages.
Since my budgie is out on our open spaces all the time, we really only have to use our Omlet cage when Blueberry CANNOT be out due to safety reasons and all we do is put his favorite toys and meals in there, and he's super content. Having a budgie free-roaming a lot tends to be much easier for me compared to my medium and large birds who are much more destructive. I'm loving the tiny bird antics!!

    You need to be a super responsible parent to make sure your daughter listens and respects to "bird rules" of the home. And the fact you can have a young child growing up in your household around so many birds, and still keep them all safe, says a lot about what a great parent you are ❤❤❤.

    I agree. Best (most informative, most enjoyable) parrot site on the internet if you ask me. 20 years ago (before the internet) I had a cockatiel that I loved beyond measure. He only ate seed, his only trick was whistling Beethoven's 5th Symphony. He has a good life but not the best life. Because of birdtricks our cockatiels now eat veggies, pellets, are trained to do all kinds of things including harness and recall trained. They are healthy, happy and rarely bored. We are part of their flock. I think bird lives across the nation are better because of this channel and what better goal is there then that!

    It's so interesting because I just had a leaflet in my hand the other day by the German Animal Welfare Federation about budgies and canaries and it had this misinformation, too! I literally stopped short when I read that because it didn't make any sense to me at first, but as you said, it's those ancient decorative cages that are harmful, not round cages in general. But the leaflet also said to give your budgies a seed diet, which I was also shocked to read after following your videos for a while now. 🙄 Anyway, I believe there are still a lot of myths around how to keep and feed your bird, so hopefully your videos will help spread the word around eventually. Cheers! 😊

    I love the Omlet cage. I have two canaries and they are thriving in it. Bonus is that seed never ends up outside of the cage. So that's pretty good also. I really enjoyed assembling it. The instructions are clear and I found it to be extremely satisfying watching it all come together. Such a clever concept.

    Not a fan of round cages as a rule. Not going to preach or make a stink over it as every bird owner has to make their own choices. But, if you can have a non round one it's generally better in almost every way for a bird (even if it is big). Also that cage is more of a hexagon lol So it doesn't suffer many of the issues that the traditional round/"bell" cages do.

    I'm retired now and have a rescued feral cat. Always had small birds. Budgies and a conure. They all passed in time and I ended up with a barn cat and she would look at them as toys or dinner. But I have watched this lady's videos. She has dedicated her life to birds. Their health, their habits and training. Any of her advice to me is nothing but the best. Follow her advice, and you will have a healthy, well trained and happy bird for you and your family. You will always will have people that will criticize her advice. But to me those are people who sell something she advices against or just internet complainers. Look at what she does and what she has done with birds and use your own common sense whose advice you will follow.

    This is literally the only round cage i've seen (i wouldn't even consider it round) that is manufacturered in a way that could still be used for a bird. Most are WAY too small and exactly how you described, like the tweety cages. However, the price point for this cage is over priced. For the same price you can get a prevue large flight cage 30 1/4 x 20 1/4 x 40 inches and for 40 you can get the finch you and me cage which is 30 x18x18. I wish everyone could afford to be the bird owner you are, because you truly do get your birds the best of the best

    So this isn't to be rude or anything, but she pointed out how Blue didnt use all of the space of the bigger cage for one thing. If its a high quality cage and both you AND your bird thoroughly love it, for the price it is, that is REALLY not expensive. I mean I'm also talking about when it comes to owning a bird in general. They are one of if not the most expensive pets you can choose to own. I read not long ago that "you can either have a bird or a bank account". Lol A parrot is an investment, no matter the size. From a budgie or cockatiel to a macaw or African Grey. You need to realize that when deciding to purchase/adopt one. So their cage or sometimes expensive foraging trees (that you can get creative and make your own for much much less actually) that are the parts of their environment and their shelter, AND are also meant to/expected to last for years and years, shouldn't be considered something you don't invest a good amount in. When you bought yourself a bed or couch did you just buy whichever was the cheapest and biggest or did you actually pay more money and get yourself something that was comfortable for you? If you can't afford to provide for your bird or any pet the way it should be provided for and deserves to be, then you should reconsider whether or not you should have that pet. Once again this wasn't to be rude or wasn't meaning "you" as in YOU but a general YOU because you're right, not everyone can afford to do what Jamie does and other people do. I know I can't afford a large macaw myself and afford a huge expensive cage and all of the expenses for that size of a bird. So knowing that I wouldn't go and buy the macaw and then try to get whatever cage was the next best thing for him and basically just be selfish because I want the bigger bird with the much bigger expenses. Anyway... im not sure what shape you would call this... it is a round/dome shaped cage. And is also NOT the only one out there. Unless you live under a rock or something. Definitely not a square or rectangle or triangle. Not sure what you're seeing. Anyway. Hope you take that stuff into consideration maybe when you're looking into any purchase for your featherbaby.

The cage i usually recommend people is a finch you and me cage which is all about length not height and all space is utilized, but the price point is 40 dollars instead of 129. The 40 dollar cage also is quality, and the space is utilized and any bird i've known to be in it loves it. I'm also not going to fully read your long comment, just don't think you're understanding what i'm trying to say. The small cage is awesome for her because of her life style and blue is able to be free a lot of the times, but for 129 dollars you could get a high quality LARGE flight cage which was my point of not recommending it for your average owner. Not everyone can be like her as much as we wish we could. Birds are her job, and most people have normal jobs and I would feel bad leaving a bird in that small cage for 8 hours 5 days a week. (that's not even my work, but i'm saying for an average person).

Being in a large budgie group I see a lot of the "average budgie owners" and their birds probably spend a lot more time in their cage than exploring like blue does, so if you think of the cage as their room and a place they spend most of their time, you'd want it to be as big as you can afford. The prevue brand isn't low quality and that kinda seems like what you're insinuating here.

    The only round cages that I disagree with is the ones that are so narrow and only one perch can be put in instead of two and the bird basically has one perch and can't hop back and forth although other perches can be out higher or lower and the bird can fly up and down. The lower perches, toys and food get pooped on. If it large enough like this one then it's fine. Also the small narrow round cages can have tight bars at the top where they connect and the birds claws and toes get stuck in them. I was actually contacted to review this cage but worried about the negative comments 🙂. I love your porch and want to do the same but have to find someone that does it.

    That’s because it isn’t a round cage, it’s an aviary..aviaries are HUGE so there’s no problem for them being round, meanwhile the omlet cage is far too small and can cause injuries for the birds as they can get their limbs stuck in the bar spacing( which is mentioned in the video, but it still could be a possibility with the omlet cage but I’m not talking about the omlet cage, just round cages in general) I think something this person forgets is that round aviaries are not the same as small round bird cages, the omlet cage is not suitable for any bird in my opinion and it’s stupidly expensive when you can get something much suitable for a cheaper price. I do understand this video also talked about the cages I’m talking about currently (the round decor cages which the omlet cage is also an “aesthetically pleasing” cage meant for purely aesthetics) but it still doesn’t make the omlet cage necessarily good.. (The person in this video has also stated to wanting cages to be aesthetically pleasing which seems to be why she chose this cage, she’s also claimed to clipping her bird’s wings which I’m also against as you shouldn’t get a pet that flies if you don’t want it to..fly..but she has stopped doing that so that’s fine by me) Overall I personally wouldn’t recommend round cages like this as it isn’t really good for the birds and it’s far too small. But if you TRULY think that your bird is LOVING the enclosure it’s in (you actually need to understand bird body language) then you can absolutely keep it..I suppose I just think the bird can do better and bigger and that’s what you should always be heading for. Also the omlet cage in particular is stupidly expensive whereas other large and wide flight cages are much cheaper.

(it still wouldn’t provide that much enrichment as you can’t stuff much into this cage and it’s STILL far too small for any bird, the vision cage this lady had was way better than the one shown here aKa the omlet cage) but if you are locking your bird most of the time in an enclosure like this, then no, it would be cruel and unsuitable. Just please make sure that your bird actually ENJOYS its enclosure by noticing its body language (not just guessing off the top of your head) I do doubt any bird would enjoy an enclosure like this let alone a single one like Blueberry here (guessing she has no other budgie to interact with which is another pet peeve of mine as budgies in particular are very social)

    I just personally dislike that cage because I feel like most people can’t have their budgies out ten hours a day and i like to give my birdies really big play style flight cages. Also I see it working fine for a tame bird, but being difficult to work with a super skittish one.

    i gotta admit, i've been one to support the "round cages" myth... but also, i was mainly considering the "tweety bird" cages. stuff like "they need corners" i just shrugged and "well i guess so..." but i've never heard the "they get lost and just go round and round" before... i feel like a lot of it was probably just stuff made up to justify why round cages are better to stop people from using the tweety bird cages. glad to see something that finally disproves the "round cage" thing. the Omlet Geo cages really seems to do everything well (except assembly... lol). i wouldn't mind assembling it, but i'm the handy type who loves doing that stuff.

    I wound't call your aviaries round personally because they have corners, the main issue people have with round cages is that there are no corners to hide + it's often way harder to place perches and toys without taking up tons of space. Because the Omlet cage, and your aviaries, still have corners, they aren't the same as the things people often get worked up about. (round cages that are tall and skinny with no corners at all) I looked at the Omlet cage, and my main concern is that there isn't a lot of space for flying, which my budgies LOVE to do in their cage. A budgie's cage should be at least 18"x18" so they can fly back and forth inside. Other than that it seems like a good cage, but I don't like the plastic dishes, stainless steel is a much better alternative. Thanks for the great video! I'm going to be building a 4x5 indoor aviary for my two budgies soon, any recommendations for softer toy materials? Mine like vine balls/stars, seagrass, crinckle paper, and cardboard, but I want to find they some toys with more variation. (They're super light chewers, they haven't destroyed a block of balsa yet lol)

    Very interesting video, I loved it, and the Omlet cage! I was a little excited to hear the name Onlet, and wondered if it was the same company that is literally 5 miles away from me that I pass twice a day, every day. And it IS! I was surprised to be honest, as they set out a few years ago offering special chicken houses for gardens, complete with (I think?) 3 chickens! So, either they’ve really expanded their range since I heard about them OR they’ve always offered things for birds other than chickens that was not made obvious. I believe it to be the former. Once again, JamieLeigh, excellent video. If I get a budgie, I know I don’t have to travel far to collect it’s bedroom ❤️

That being said AS SOON as I saw the omelet cage I wanted one, it just hasn't been a priority. So I'm really glad that you chimed in on this cage.

Only the top half was being used and you're right it didn't know how to navigate the plexiglass part. I had to put a ladder in. But now I don't use it at all. It's also not easy to clean it's a pain in the neck. I wish I could have my budgies and my parrotlets and lovebirds flying all over the house but I have the cats and the big birds and I'm petrified they're going to get hurt. So they have to come out separately in a different room for exercise. Safety first always 💕😘💕 Love you 💕
