Teaching Small Parrots to PLAY! (With Toys)
Үй жануарлары мен аңдар
In this different style of video I show how I train my budgie Blueberry to play with toys and how it translates to ALL varieties of toys! Look how destructive one little budgie can get! GET MY TINY TOY BOX FOR TINY BIRDS HERE: birdtricksstore.com/products/...
Budgies are often overlooked but they are just as smart as the medium and large birds and should be given the same attention and devotion to behavior and training.

Blueberry: Must. Have. All. The. Millet! **races around like a maniac** Budgies are so friendly and forgiving and they love everybody. Smart, cute, and fast! I'd have several again if I could **peers at cat grandpa** PS: As far as I'm concerned I like everything you two do. Getting bored is just not possible :)

@@samanehtasham That's hard to say because we don't know your bird. We can't see how they behave towards you. Either birdy flys for freedom, because of fear or the outside is just more entertaining than you. You could try to use a play stand, making that the most interesting thing. At least you could reach your bird and try to train them then.

@@samanehtasham A way to get your bird out just have your parakeet perch on your finger and hold the millet and slowly take it out, but if your parakeet ever comes out the cage give it millet so it knows "Oh! I get rewarded when i come out" so it comes out often, thats how my parakeets soon liked coming out the cage, hope this helped 💗

Am I the only one whose budgies LOVE oat groats??? They like it even more than millet for training. Millet tends to make them act like crackheads; they start fight for it then they get distracted. I’ve taught them how to do a paw shake, step up, kiss, do a 360 turn and hang upside down. It’s so cute when they both do it at the same time, like a circus show. Also watching the training was so relaxing, your bird is very quiet and patient. 💕

Blueberry is such a cutie and reminds me of my active boy, Homie. I recently got my first birds (budgies named Homie and Mama) from a "free to good home" post. We've upgraded their small cage to a flight cage with better toys and got them switched over to a mostly fresh chop diet. They're (VERY) slowly getting used to my hands in the cage and they're learning what bathing is. I'm using tons of ideas from your channels over the years but these Blueberry videos are extra helpful! 💙💙

Hey I love watching capri play with the birds I am a special needs adult and I love watching birds
You make it all look so easy then im at home with trial and error lol but as u said patience and consistency so i keep at it and officially got one of my biter budgies to quit biting !!!! Thanks for all you do !
I love the real-time training. Sounds silly but I have struggled with how to give a treat to my budgie and this helped a lot, especially seeing that you just wait patiently for Blue to eat the freebies. Thanks Jamie!
That might just be the calmest budgie I've ever seen
So helpful. Helped me feel like I’m on the right track and helped me see other budgie behavior like the distracted pecking for millet! Validating for me as a new bird owner. More like this please! Thank you 🙏
Thank you for showing that Budgies are not beginner birds, because none are! It is just the education of the people and fitting personalities.
Omg! She’s so cute! I love this video,shares detailed training of consistency really pays off. Birds are sooo smart.
Your work with Blueberry shows your immense patience in training your birds. And she’s having such a great time. Never a dull moment for both of you. So lovely to see. Thanks 🙏
Making a trick out of tunneling through my relaxed hand would mean losing one functional hand. My Green Cheek Conure would find that loophole and NEVER stop!
Blueberry moves so fast!
I think it's great that you are including a budgie in your mix of videos. I think that they are beautiful but also a great bird for children to have and get children to be familiar with birds and familiar with taking care of them. When I was a young child I got 2 budgies (I grew up in Europe, we called them Parakeets) and they were just as much fun as their bigger parrot counter parts. They love to be social with humans (in my case all humans in the house) and I taught them all kinds of tricks even though I did not know a thing about working with birds. They freely flew all over the house, we didn't even close the door to their cage. The would go to their cage on their own to sleep, eat or drink water. If we lost track of where they were, or needed them to go in the cage because we were leaving the house, we would simply make a rattling noise by striking their cage with our finger nails and they would get mad as hell and furiously fly back to their cage to ""defend their home"". This would take less than 5 seconds. My aunt, here in the US, had a blue budgie, just like Blueberry who she taught to talk and this bird would ride on the back of the family dog (a Poodle) as a means of transportation throughout the house. Fantastic birds to introduce to children, and they may turn into bird lovers for life because of their budgies.
I love seeing your videos with blueberry!! It’s super helpful to see how your large bird training can transfer over to budgies, as well as what differs x
What a smart budgie 😍
Out of all the birds you show blueberry is my favorite
I do love this style of video. I also love watching birds, which is probably why :D
Blueberry is such a cutie bird.
Yay. This will be so helpful with my albino budgie. Snowy will target train but is the snippiest/pecky birb.
Glad to see blueberry growing flight feathers out.🙂🙂
I wish there were videos like this back when I had my own parakeet many, many, moons ago. I think our bird would have been much happier if we knew more back then. Thanks for these videos!
3:07 and now I want a budgie 😂😘❤love you birdtricks

Missy loves millet. It is so cute to look at little Blue running after freebies.
Blueberry is SOOO Cute!
I love the idea of you doing more of these. Especially if you have a super flighty bird who doesn’t want to engage as much. Maybe the conures? Yeah, it would be a lot of waiting, a lot more than in this video, but sometimes it’s difficult to recognise when to persevere with something and when to just accept that your bird isn’t interested. I remember you had one who was very interested in training and one who was the complete opposite, so it would be really fun to see a session with the least interested bird.

You're right about conures. With mine I have to put the toy on its bird tree within view of its cage for a day or so, then let it be alone on the cage with the option to go near the toy if it wants. Rinse and repeat a bit and then it might be ready for training with the toy...

My favorite part of the video is hearing blueberry eating the mullet seeds x3 just cute little nibbles
I have two lorikeet (6 months old) and the training it's a struggle! So raw sesion seems like blessing.
I love all your vids! Especially all the ones I can relate to! (Small bird vids) keep crushing it!
My budgies will work for oat groats and hemp seeds in addition to millet and they are a little easier to use.
She is smart. She bites a clump of seeds off and then has a chance to do some grazing for the few that fall on the sheet. If you watch vids of wild parakeets you see them grazing through grasses in the outback.
Okay I'm definitely teaching my lovebird the hand tunnel trick that's adorable lol 😅

lol Blueberry reminds me of a combination of Comet and ChiChi. Super high energy & constantly moving like Chichi, but then there is a couple of moments of chill time. Then it’s back to being all over the place again! Especially love the tunnel exercise and the Bat. Very fun to watch, but very practical as well. ❤️

LOOOOOOOOVVVVVVVEEEEE the video style
Absolutely love this video thank you for sharing
What a nice little budgie! On the other hand, my four budgies are BRATS. They do whatever they want - and they know I'll always just feed them and cuddle them. They rule the room - but they pretty much stay on their cage (and my cockatiel's cage). They "know" the cage is "their space" - and they know any playpens are "their space"; other than that, they aren't fond of perching on non-avian places like the TV, the curtain rod, hanging framed pictures, etc.
I needed one like this thanks for the help!
I liked the video!!
Yessss more of this! I love it! I love how blueberry has to pick up all the little crumbs!

@@ashleywalker4355 I mean, isn't it an intuitive reaction for most people? If your partner does something difficult or tiring, don't you want to revive their spirit? It's like a positive spiral where you support each other to be the best you two can be, even when either of you have bad days. I mean, that is the whole point of getting together: the whole of you together being better than the sum of the separate parts. ...oh, or is this just divorce kid mentality where you have seen how damn toxic relationships can be and you learned from early childhood that love (and lust) alone is worthless, and you have to actually be good partners for a relationship to be worth it.

So i guess you could say I believe it could go either way ... But i believe no relationship is perfect .. its the matter of are both people happy ...i do believe in love but i also believe in toxic relationships and how impossible it feels to get out of one. And i originally commented on this as I found it amusing that that guy would decorate for his wife i thought it sounded amazing.

I’m currently in the process of training my Budgie. She steps up almost every time. Her name is Skye and she is very pretty. I’ve only had her for 3.5 days and she chirps now and then. Eats in front of me. Steps up almost every time. And eats millet from me. The video was really helpful. I’m going to try this technique when she starts chirping regularly and starts being more active in her cage. Right now she mainly just sits on one perch for an extended period of time, then moves to the next, but the first day she just sat at the bottom of her cage, so she is making progress. I think she is going through her baby molt soon, cause she has a few pin feathers, she preens a lot, and she drops a good amount of feathers. She will hopefully be able to fly after she molts, because the pet store I got her from trimmed her wings 😢
