What a cute bird 🥰🥰 How to make my pineapple turquoise conure able to talk?
Keep repeating words to them and reinforce them when they make noises you like!
2 ladke?
yes!
I would love a video of your set ups I'm trying to work out setting up my tall cage been finding it hard and find visuals much easer
I do have some cage set up videos on here 😊
This was so much helpful, thank you❤
Glad it was helpful!
😅poop cockatiel
I have a pet 6 month old hand raised cockatiel Beige / yellow MALE. Due to health reasons I am unable to keep him. Sadly I am looking for a permanent home for him. He talks sings sits on shoulder so all the hard training work done. Please contact me.
I would recommend reaching out to local parrot rescue charities in your area!
Breakfast: veggies/fruits Lunch: pellets Dinner: mixed millet Do you think this is a good daily diet for cockatiels? I'm considering stooping the mixed millet but i'm unsure what kind of food to replace it with
Our cockatiel diets are very similar to this video, only less fruit and a little more grains/seed 😊
The bars are really a nightmare to clean 😢 Is the substrate product you use available in Australia? And what other substrate materials, if any, do you recommend?
You can use any dust free, unscented and untreated pine shavings for small animals 😊
I maybe bought a massive double cage that is over 6 feet high that gets delivered Monday... This couldn't have come at a better time 😅
That’s fantastic 😍
What's the name of the chewy wood? I keep hearing "solar" wood. :D
Yes it’s called sola wood 😊
@@BirdNerdSophie Thank you!!
Great video! And good advice on having softer toys, I'll be on the lookout. Question about foraging: Since the bottom of the cage is basically a minefield of poop flying down from above, our foraging toys get pooped on a lot within a single day (we've got branches all over the cage so there isn't really any spot that they can't poop from haha). Any tips on that? Or just accept it and clean the toys at the end of the day?
P.S. The throwing things out of the box toy is so smart! I love it.
Either strategically place them in possible no poop spots or just put enough in for them to play with in one day at a time 😊
My birds always use every space in their cage haha! 3 days ago my bird died; she had this illness for a few months about 4 months and she couldn't fight. Consulting vets still didn't help. She was worth every penny though 😪
I’m so sorry to hear that, sending big hugs 💙🫂
@@BirdNerdSophie 🥰Your so sweet!!! I'm a lot better now xx
My birds are happy to use the entirety of their cage. I just don’t like putting perches at the bottom because they will get pooped on really quickly, and are difficult for me to clean regularly. So I have plenty of toys and perches for them at the top 2/3 of the cage, and leave the bottom 1/3 of the cage empty so that I don’t have to spend so much time keeping up with the clean up. It also makes cleaning the cage bottom easier since it gives me more space for my hands. They still go to the bottom of the cage to forage for dropped treats though!
That’s awesome that they’ll use all the space and go to the floor!
same! :D
Your all birbs are cutie pies ☺️
Thank you so much 🥰
How cute 🥰🥰🥰
❤❤❤
I have a cockatiel and want to raise a conure and I'm afraid they won't be able to live together What is the solution
저희 아가들도 크림슨 코뉴어랍니당 😍
Awesome 🤩
Hi Sophie 😊 I have a question about F10. When you've sprayed everything with F10, do you need to clean everything with water afterwards? Of course parrots use their toys and wipe their beaks on perches. So I was not certain if I could use F10 and leave it as it is.
F10 doesn’t need to be washed off, just needs to dry then it’s safe for the birds to be around 😊
@BirdNerdSophie And you can spray it inside the same room your parrot is in?
@@esthervanderveere1014yes!
@@BirdNerdSophie Thank you ❤
Thank u
No problem 😊
😊❤
Sorry about this. Im commenting on your latest video because i have a question. I have two cockatiels but i can get pellets. Its not that its expensive but there are literally none here and if i were to ship it from the us to africa it would actually cost a kidney. Im trying to introduce more vegetables and grains to my cockatiels diet everyday so im just asking if thats okay? Can i make them live long on a raw diet without pellets?
We don’t typically feed pellets here but they do need to have a very diverse diet to be healthy!
@@BirdNerdSophie alright thank you! What percentage would you give each thing? Like what percent is seeds vegetables fruits nuts and legumes and grains
@@khhhhhshrek8499 we don't measure exactly - for their breakfast they have half veggies and half sprouted/soaked items, and for their dinner there is such a huge variety of things in there - I'd recommend watching my 'what my conure eats in a day' video for inspiration!
@@BirdNerdSophie alright thank you so much!
Very chatty ❤
So cheeky!
Nice ideas
Thank you 😊
What is courgette?
Also known as zucchini!
@@BirdNerdSophie I saw it in one of your other videos later on. I like watching your older chop videos. Thank you, Sophie.
Very 0:12 nice video
Thank you ☺️
👍👍👍👏👏👏🦜🦜🦜❤❤❤💚💚
Hi! I had a couple questions. I’m in the US and humidity is fine, but I have a Honeywell air purifier. Is that ok? Last question, is it normal to see their chest move slightly when they breathe?
I would check that it has a HEPA filter, and no ioniser! And yes their chest does move when breathing!
I’m getting a conure very soon I’m watching video after video, I have a good cage coming, I’m very excited
Awesome 🥰
Which type of almond should I give to my parrot overnight soaked almonds or without soaked almonds?
Do you mean food overnight?!
@@BirdNerdSophie yes in soaking process we take few almonds and soak in water for overnight
I love this Chanel 😍 just got my first cockatiel
Thank you 😍
I had no idea that crimson bellied conures were a different species from green cheeks! Interesting video!
A lot of people think that they are just a colour morph! Both species are beautiful! :)
I love crimson bellies ❤❤❤ The laugh was hilarious. Mine does the same thing. I used to try to stifle my laugh as not to encourage whatever excited behaviour he was displaying; so his sounds like “he he he he” So cute and mischievous. I can hardly stand it 😂😂😂
They are so mischievious and make me laugh everyday 😂
I love the laughter part 😂 totally agree with you and found this video very informative 😊
I had to cut the clip there as we both couldn’t stop laughing 🤣💙
I also think they have similarities to cockatos. Valentine is a chatterbox, loves water, very inquisitive, loves his own reflection, he's bossy and has a tendency to be easily excited. So yes, I agree with your assessment. Definitely not an easy conure, but Valentine has been better for having a companion 😀
They really are funny little critters! So much trouble in such a small package 🤣
You know I’m gonna love this video 😉 you described crimson bellied conures so well. Lovely video ❤
😊 thank you! They are such silly little birds!
Charlie is beautiful with such a big personality 🤗 ❤
He is a little ray of sunshine 🥰
@@BirdNerdSophie 🌞 I agree 💯%😊
Charlie! They are adorable, crimson and bellied conures are adorable! 1:25 haha!
They are hilarious little birds!
Hlo!! I love your videos and info 😊 I want to ask about something i have been struggling - my birds weight is 53 and 51, they are GCC of 1 year and 3 months old. -They are not weak and not sick at all, -They look like scampi -They fly a lot, chirp and play a lot, they are always out of their cage only sleeps in cage. -They both eat chop, pellets, fruits and now seeds as only 10% of their diet. -I have done everything i could but their weight is not going up 😔 It would be a great help if u could help me about their weight and some good SEED mix ( on amazon, cuz that only where i can buy ) so that i can give them a little healthy seeds. I really waiting for your reply 🙏🏻
I just replied to your other comment 😁 there isn’t an all in one seed mix that I recommend on Amazon but you could buy individual ingredients to put together like my DIY seed mix video!
@@BirdNerdSophie yes!! I just checked your reply, i will check the seed mix video 😊
I love crimsons! « Too curious for their own good » sums up a lot of species’ personalities 😂
Little cheeky monsters 🤣
Scampi is such a handsome boib ❤
I agree 😊
Hlo sophie!! I would like to know how to gain weight in my 2 GCC's as they are 1 year and 3 months old at a weight of 53 and 51 grams. They eat their chop, pellets and some seed as 10% of their diet. ( the seeds are not on the healtheir side so i would appreciate it if you will tell me about some good seed mix too ) What should i do, i have been really worried for months now. One more thing that they look same as scampi but i can feel their keel bone ( not too sharp ) is it okay or not. I hope u will reply and help me 🤞
You could always schedule a vet check up to check if they are just bred smaller! Otherwise increasing protein from sprouted seeds, grains and legumes, plus adding nuts to the diet may help !
@@BirdNerdSophie thank u for replying 😊 Actually sadly but there are no good avian vet so that's off limit for me. 😔 I am giving them walnuts and almonds daily now i will try to add some sprouts 🤞
