SHOULD YOU GET A BIRD? 6 TYPES OF PEOPLE THAT SHOULD NEVER GET A BIRD

Another type of person that should not own birds: parents that only purchase a bird for their child but refuse to take any kind of responsibility themselves! The amount of times I've heard children say 'my bird needs to see a vet but my parents won't let me or won't pay for it' etc is heartbreaking. Children are not fit to own a pet by themselves. If you want your child to have a bird, you have to accept that it's mainly your responsibility, even if your child is doing most of the day to day care and interaction

When saying low maintenance pets, thank you for showing rocks or plants. Because no live animal is a low maintenance pet. I love gardening, and even plants can be high maintenance, depending on which you keep 😁

I impulsively got my birds and the care I had before was terrible, but now I learned and they're so happy now, people need to understand it's okay to make mistakes, you just need to learned from them and change

Also: smokers. Even if you smoke in a separate room, unless you live in a 30 room mansion that smoke will find it’s way into your birds’ room.

My parents did a very stupid mistake and got me a sun conure as a 'surprise' for my 18th birthday. They didn't tell me anything so I was very unprepared. My parents couldn't understand why I was so mad at them. I'm just against giving animals as gifts especially as 'surprise' gifts. Also it's not like I begged them to buy me a parrot. I simply said this one time that I'm planning to have a parrot in the future. Anyway, this surprise gift caused me so much stress. Of course I started researching almost right away, I bought all the important things, I started to slowly tame my bird. But I've had so many doubts if I can do it. It simply wasn't the best time of my life. I'm not mad that my parents got him for me. I don't regret that I have this parrot. I'm still kinda frustrated that they didn't tell me anything which wasn't okay. More positively now, I tamed my sun conure quite fast, which gave me some confidence and now we're buddies. I take care of him very seriously. He's happy and healthy and I love him so much! Also your channel helped me a lot during the time when I was making my research!! <3

Whenever Im away at school (about 7 hours) my mum always takes care of my birds and regularly feeds them, as well as letting them out and flying around. Once I’m home, it’s my turn :)

Also: -People who hate cleaning/lazy about cleaning. Birds are messy! They poop everywhere and throw their food all around. -People who hate getting up/getting woken up early. No matter how late I cover my bird, she wakes me up at 7 AM. It used to be at sunrise when I first got her. -People who can’t handle being bitten. Birds bite. It’ll happen. I know I can’t handle a bite from a big bird. You need to be calm when they bite you, too.

Every pro starts a beginner, its okay to makes mistakes, but learn and fix them, I bet everyone made at least one or two mistakes like diet, cage sizes, or perches, but do more research even after you think you know everything, pros keep on practicing, so experts must keep on learning.

I’m 15 and I wanna make a bond with our budgies but my parents never let me take them out the cage and I get sad because they will never get to fly because of them

Yup I had a similar case with my 3rd budgie where he came from a impulse buy home. He came to us covered in mites and very under fed due to seed only diet. We later found out he had no cage and lived in a little box. He’s very sweet nonetheless and now has 2 siblings with lots of fresh fruit.

I have been trying to convince my parents to let me have a Cockatiel. My parents are the type of people that, once convinced, will help in ways of taking them to the vet. I have been studying for three years, and I have been saving up. I already have ideas on how to get supplies as well.

Idk any y'all but I'm amazed how much this channel has grown.

i’m a new bird owner (I got a sun conure about 2 months ago) and my life changed so fast. I live somewhere very hot so getting used to not having fans on took a while. I love my bird to bits and I know i’m very lucky bc when I got him, he was already very social and even potty trained! But even with these advantages, he’s a lot of work and i’m glad there are people like you who educate those who want a bird as a pet (including me).

Add to that people who have allergies or asthma. Birds make dust that a lot of people are allergic to or develop an allergy once they have the bird. Great content once again. So glad I've found your channel.

Lol...I was smiling ear to ear when u showed a pic or rocks when saying "get this is u need a low maintenance pet" 🤣🤣🤣

Lol opened it up so fast that the likely hundreds of comments saying "fIrSt!1!!" Haven't appeared yet.

I happen to be a lot of these things and also a new mum to a budgie. Iris flew into my room chased by a seagull. It's true, working on myself is the most important thing so that Iris (and the future friend I'll be getting for her) can have the life she deserves. She should be in the wild bush of Australia, but she's stuck with me in Athens, so we might as well help her live to be 15 instead of 4.

I have 6 budgies and the worst thing so far are the vet expenses. The avian vet costs me like 1000 to 1500€ per year. They get sick, hurt and they need checkups. Also had to learn a lot about their health care and emergencies. Sometimes you'll have to stop a bleeding. But they are so sweet and show me so much love! It's worth it! I even started my own mini food gardening to reduce the costs with organic veggies. 🙃 They change your whole life.

what makes me laugh are those who say 'they researched everything and claim they know it all', not a chance, as i have owned birds since i was 7 yrs old. am i'm still learning, owning a bird is like learning something new every day, things change in research.

I have always loved the idea of a parrot but by the time I could have afforded on I was much too old. Now I console myself by watching videos, knowing I never ruined the life of a beautiful bird through my selfishness. Keep up your good work, knowledge is always vital.
