Ever seen a 'swimming' parakeet?

[nicollettePerfect]

how do u keep a budgie from flying around the house like crazy/room. do they poop every in the house if i let them fly around? also how difficult is it to get them bck in their cage?

[birdmarine101]

@CEOSZyteff i have one male and one female and i got them both from petco.

[LidiaJanklyTube]

Now, that is one happy bird!!! Oh my god!

[ChibiVamp232]

@CEOSZyteff We got them from my moms friend who IS a breeder. and one is a male, one is female. And I will! I've finally gotten them to stay on my hand, even if they bite me while on there. But its still progress!

[birdmarine101]

i have two birds and ive had them for at least 8 months but they both hate me and wont tame what do i do?????

[maelle713]

yaayy! im so happy!! im getting a budgie for my birthday!! i finaly convinced my dad!!!! Im going t name him Chip! :)

[Pudu2255]

@maelle713 lol same here i like duh name penny 21 more days till july tenth :) mom and dad are saying yes

[fatalframe95]

0:00- 0:05 "oooooh water- OH MY GOD I'M DROWNING!!!!!"

[Farbod021]

my parakeet do the same thing lol .

[ChibiVamp232]

Dang! Our parakeets are new, but they're each only a few weeks old, so we'll have an easier time taming them right?

[shoppinsuga]

Are her wings clipped?

[NadiaBluefox]

@shoppinsuga no, he's just tame.

[CsAnnihilationII]

Dont put the bird in the water too much cuz it can die due to low body temperature. (I have experience >.>)

[dugglebumly]

lol thats adorable

[PonyHorseRider]

I KNEW he was gonna do a cannonball at 0:57 >:D XD He's a very pretty parakeet! I might get one this Friday :)

[NadiaBluefox]

@PonyHorseRider Good luck with your new budgie, hope it will be as funny as mine ;)

[PonyHorseRider]

@NadiaBluefox Aww thanks :D

[mia2brendy]

No I have never seen one and I did'nt see one today eihter...

[CuppyBooxx]

Hehe , mine swims too , but he gets scared D:

[sandy588a]

Is the water in the tub warm or cold under room temperature?

[z0e284]

my birds used to bathe in a tub, but they prefer a real shower instead now

[ganzyar]

my parakeet (sparky) does not like water it's so cute how when your parakeet get's wet that he gets all puffy

[silverwings87]

he's a beautiful boy! One of my old parakeets, Simba, loved water as well, but not as much as Keewy. ^^

[emeraldt94]

i wish my parakeets loved wAater. they continually get dirty by hiding, so they need baths. once my baby parakeet got himself stuck under the fridge and he was covered in goop he was so pathetic looking!

[MelficeSilesius]

@emeraldt94 Put a shallow bowl of water in the cage. If a bird gets dirty, it'll decide on it's own to take a dip and clean it's feathers.

[MissPoision]

You cant make ur budgie love Swimming (: cmon now, if he likes it he does, if he doesent he doesent. Love your budgie for who they are ^^

[fergiecrazy654321]

i got 4 parakeets and thay all hate me but im so nice to them.

[EternalChaos000]

Lol, you needa raise them from when they were young. Else that'll ALWAYS happen.

[sandy588a]

@fergiecrazy654321 They doesn't like to be treated un-respected doing, like holding them, grabeing them...you can invite them to step on your finger, but never too rude to them! Getting their trust to you gradually and then they will feel ease to rub their feather on your finger or shoulder. ^^

[MelficeSilesius]

@sandy588a That depends on the bird.

We had a budgie that DID like to be picked up and played with. As soon as he had enough of it, though, he'd let us know. ;)

[sandy588a]

@MelficeSilesius Yes, it depens on the habbits of each bird. For example, my "Meow-meow" likes to be swinged high a lot, the higher, the more exciting, whereas, my "Mimi" afraid of being swinged. They both don't like to bath. Your Keewy is really amazing!!

[MelficeSilesius]

@sandy588a Keewy isn't my bird... not sure if that part of the comment was aimed at me, but I'm just another bird-lover looking to help out birdowners with my (sometimes limited) knowledge. ;)

[kuifmans2001]

Looks like my parakeet bird. Hey I'd take a bath with Anouk (the song playing) too ;-)

[StlyeFree]

My parakeet is like me in the mornings. He has that face like "turn off the damn light" when he wakes up. lol

[CoolRockAngel]

my bird did that 2!!but my bird dived in water lol

[mingleduck]

my parakeet used to love taking baths

[TheMexigurl97]

omg i wish i could train my budgies to do that

[torpedolaunch]

how did you get your bird to like swimming?

[NadiaBluefox]

I didn't. He just loved water from the very first moment I gave him a bowl filled with water.

[0Slasher0]

what a cute budgie! big forehead!

[stoopidoooo]

hey can any one tell me, like i just got my parakeet today but it wont chirp but just open its beak and make a bunch of clicking noises, what should i do?

[NadiaBluefox]

It just needs to accommodate first, don't expect much from it the first couple of days, let it use to the new surroundings. But it's totally normal, my Keewy also was very nervous at first! Good luck.

[stoopidoooo]

thank you so much, i was worried sick. is not sleeping normal too?

[NadiaBluefox]

Well I think it does sleep, but not at times when you come to abserve your budgy, it is still nervous when it hears things, but it will pass! If you want your budgie to get some more rest, cover the cage at night so it can get more rest and become more relaxed!

[cutegirl3782]

that looks just like my bird bubbles ive had her for a year shes soooo cute urs is too lol :3 mine likes flyin on my head alot lol idk y my bird doesnt like wtaer much

[FishIsMyFish]

my bird Cheetah like swimming in our huge bathtub if we only put a llittle bit of watar in she walk around in it and everything its so cute

[iatethefudge]

my first parakeet would do this in her water bowl i miss her

[jessfromessendonyeah]

i luv dat name keewy!!

[islandmamma]

so cute...is a budgie and a parakeet the same thing?

[NadiaBluefox]

budgie=budgerigar, it is a certain type of parakeet.

[eaherit]

there are species of birds that have the name 'parakeet' that are from South America. A budgie is a type of parakeet, but a parakeet is not a type of budgie

[niva2gr]

Budgerigars come from Australia, not south America.

[eaherit]

I know. I didn't say budgies came from South America. But there are types of birds in South America (and other tropical countries) that are called parakeets, the word "parakeet" is in their names. Examples: Derbyan Parakeet, Indian Ringneck Parakeet, Plum-Headed Parakeet, etc.They are not budgies. Budgies are a _type_ of parakeet.

[palerunstheghst]

The budgie is an english breed of parakeet. Not american.

[eaherit]

The budgie is from Australia. Loot it up on Wikipedia. Budgies are not native to England. Here in the U.S. we call budgies parakeets.

[patmrhottiepantz]

haha my bird hates the water. i have to spray em as well

[MJJTributePage]

he looks just like my first parakeet blue en naughty haha he would fly to the table and steal the salade if the cage was open and then maede lots of screams like he d say look i did it hahaha

[zayra15jazmin]

my parakeet dont like to take a shower

[10lizardman]

do they  all like to swim or just yours?

[NadiaBluefox]

Not all of them, just like us :).

[Thedjmogan]

hes such a pretty shade of blue! =D

[LionGoddess1]

they aren't built to swim for long! .. not trying to flame you just going by the one i found floating dead in my open topped 10 gallon aquarium not a scratch on him but also had two big catfish in it .. -_- took a long break after that one was too sad for words or even to cry... it was only 4 months old.. onc etheir feathers get wet they get heavier and can't just fly out easily

[str99frk]

very good but mu\y budgies dont like swimmming i have to spray them

[hatsunemiku11]

me to i have spray them...

[spickymaster]

very cute, maybe next time have the water shallower

[NadiaBluefox]

Watch my other video's :)

[lilshorty1306]

AWWH!

ADORABLE!!!

[SuperStarHilaryDuff]

[silverwolf9000]

[kulosek123]

I mean Catch

[TheRockHasComeBack23]

i have 4 parakeets 1 only likes to swim the other 1s we have to spray

[NadiaBluefox]

Hahah, yes, they're just like humans, one likes this, the other likes that.. :)

[scarification]

haha your bird is loving it. one of mine is blue and white like that

[mattyjoe123]

so cute

[tennisfreek101]

howw cutee!!! he is spoiled

[lolkirby12]

Your parakeet is so cute!

[sugarkitty2008]

i sometime place my cockatiels in the bath and they just float on they're wings untilli take them out again lol.

[coolL9457]

i'm new to budgie care.i got a baby and its already tame after a few weeks.its aloen so i give it plenty attention and let it out a good long time each week.its scared of its bath tub.its really filthy.can you tell me what i should do to get it have a bath? im desprate!

[NadiaBluefox]

They don't bathe because they're filthy, so you must find out the real reason of that. Does it vomit or doesn't it clean itself, and if yes, it can probably be sick (birds often don't clean themselves when they're sick). If you want your budgy to get used to water, you can use a water-spray (you know, which is used to spray at plants for example). But I know that there are a lot of budgies that don't like water at all...if you force them, they will hate it!

[foxtrotthefox]

they can swim cuz mine do but one flaps his wings so much that he gets tyerd

[Mykai73]

Looks like the sink in my science class

[depealco]

I really want a budgie/parakeet, but I just want to ask.. Are they animals you get tired off real fast? Like you think they are boring and stuff?

'Cuz i dont think they are.

Great if one of you who have one could reply :)

[fullmetalbitch]

i have had budgies for over 5 years now...

THEY STILL SUPRISE ME

recently our oldest suprised me by doing my whistly while i was trying to get the canary to sing...

really.. they could never bore me...

[fullmetalbitch]

budgies are the best

[NadiaBluefox]

I've had budgies for 17 years now...And now this Keewy is dead, I feel I am ready for a new one, because they give you so much joy and laughter! But I have to say that you should give a budgy enough attention to get him this happy! If the bird gets enough TLC, it will bring you much, much joy!

[shadoweon]

this bird also looks just like one of my parakeets >: but yes he likes taking baths =)

[prmeli1114]

that is so cute she/he wants the water

[ovenglovesamust]

Keewy is such a cutie!

[CassiaBlueLava]

pom pom budgie!!! How adorable. x3

[NadiaBluefox]

thank you! :)

[ChibiKibi]

IT'S ENGLISH! :D

xD It's so cute, omg. And fat...I want to hug it :D

I used to have a yellow one <3

[bearyproductionfilms]

im gonna name my new birds keewy chico mango and sweet pea.i just love the name keewy.would you mind if i name my bird keewy?

[NadiaBluefox]

Yes, I love the names you will give them! It will be an honour! :)

[hal3yindahouse]

that is sooo cute:D

i think the water might be too deep but he/she doesn't seem to mind:)

watt a cute bird

[NadiaBluefox]

He loved water in all places and bowls! :)

[sbrock828]

that's awesome. i love seeing other owners letting their birds go swimming! my blue bird has so much fun in her tub, like your baby does!

[NadiaBluefox]

It's wonderfull looking at them when they're having so much fun, isn't it?! :)

[sbrock828]

it really is, mine goes in a smaller tub but she really has such a blast in it! it is so good to train your birds at a young age to go into water because its so healthy for them too!

[fullmoonfirebird]

such a cute budgie!!! My budgies don't seem to like bathing all that much, especially my kiwi, Typhoon and Mikey, but my Banana and Hail enjoy bathing alot.

[NadiaBluefox]

Cute names you gave them ;)

[fullmoonfirebird]

Thanks, your budgie's name is cute too:) Keewy<3

[Hewy12]

omg, i love you Budgie!

i've always wanted a spangle one! =D

[NadiaBluefox]

:-D

[wrx158]

thats no swiming he is drauning or you probaly did not give him water and he tursty no swiming birds dont swim

[NadiaBluefox]

You shouldn't judge if you haven't seen all the other videos of Keewy and don't understand irony, you dumbass.

[OptToAdoptForDogs]

Keewy is such a pritty budgie. my Kiwi doesn't seem to take to bathing.......do all birds have that instict to bathe??

[NadiaBluefox]

Hahah, sweet, also a Keewy/Kiwi :) I've heard often that some budgies don't like water at all...but I think you can make them use to water by taking their drinking water away and put a bowl of water on/near their cage so they can explore and bathe in it.

[andy7666]

Ahh, what a beautiful bird! I used to have a small bath that you could attatch to the entrance to the bird cage - using warmish water I would just leave it there once or twice a week for a few hours. To begin with the budgies looked very startled and thin(!) but eventually got used to it - the female had a go once if I remember but the male went in there every time after the third or fourth time it was up there - he loved it!

[NadiaBluefox]

Yes, sometimes they just have to use to water bit by bit! :)

[magmajc]

how did u introduce him to water?pls reply

[NadiaBluefox]

I don't exactly remember that, it was 3,5 years ago. If you want your parakeets te like water, you can put a bowl of water on/near their cage and take away their drinking water. If you let them alone, and it's quite hot, they will examine the bowl and drink from it, eventually bathe in it (if it's not too deep!)

[magmajc]

ok thanks

[Coolskygirl0]

Kewwy died :*(

im so srry

[foxpawz]

omg my bird was that color. he past away wednesday :( we miss him and love him very much

[NadiaBluefox]

This birdie past away a month ago... may both of their souls rest in pease...

[foxpawz]

im sorry :( do u know what he died from?

[NadiaBluefox]

He died of a crop infection. Because of that he didn't get enough food into his stomach and died at the age of 3,5... What about yours?

[foxpawz]

sorry to hear :( we don't know what happened to Cici. he was sick one evening. we called the vet, they said to just watch him since he ate and was perched but the next morning he passed away before we could bring him in to see his doctor :( we miss him terribly.

[Mayfieldrockz36]

The bird is colorful

[NadiaBluefox]

I went to the vet with Keewy, he got antibiotics and some other drops, the vet said Keewy would get well at the end of the week but he died the day after...

[mustangcobain65]

my cockatiel died from drowning in his bath bowl =(((((

[NadiaBluefox]

:( .....

[mustangcobain65]

appreciate it....

[andy7666]

So sorry to hear that. It breaks your heart when they die.. It may sound a bit callous but I think its always best to replace the little fellas when they 'cease to be' - they are great little beasts and while they can never be replaced per say (each having thier own very distinct personality), having a new friend always cheers you up! Regards.

[LoveBudgiies]

jeg har haft en undulat som var blå og hed: Phønix

[NadiaBluefox]

Pardon me?

[Parakeet47]

Thats the prettiest Parakeet I've ever seen =O

[tdunayer]

i have one his name is LBB little boy blue but he never does anything

[ArijetaPETA]

me too clip hhis wings and buy a little ladder so u can take him out of his cage and itll play

[Barcode711]

Wow. How did you get him to like water? My bird just flies away whenever I try to get her near a dripping sink - or she drinks a few drops from the falling water and then flies back to her cage.

[NadiaBluefox]

I didn't get him to like water...he loves it from the very beginning! I think he was a fish in his previous life :D

[Barcode711]

Lol, guess i have no chance then.

[NadiaBluefox]

Put a bowl with water on/near their cage when it's very hot and let them alone for a while. Sometimes when they're alone, they are more curious and try to drink/swim in it!

[HeYyXOPaRrotlaYDexo]

That is ADORABLE! He looks like my budgie phoenix!

[WolfEnchantress42]

i have a budgie named phoenix! she is green :)

[mariovssonic64]

i have a parakeet too. his names  tiki, but hes alot fatter than your parakeet >.>

[XxemilyxitachixX]

so cute!

[NadiaBluefox]

Whahahah, funny! Well, if I give Keewy a glass of whatever, he dives in it too! (so I don't do that any more :) )

[animaluver101]

Keewy's so cute! I have two parakeets named Sky and Snowy but they hate water :(

[kklloyd12345]

im sunnykecochewy4life i have 2 acouts on youtube

[sunnykecochewy4life]

i cliped my 2 birds wing so the ywouldent ge thurt but they still fly a little bit

[Broke909]

cute when i went to holland thier was a man with a budgie, (his wings were cliped unfortunatly to a point where he couldnt fly) and the budgie used to run down the street screaming hello in dutch and english  he used to have us in stitches ;)

[aja145]

To get your birds to get used to water your going to have to follow these steps.

-spray bottle him

-splash him in the sink

-put out a bowl of water and hold your bird lightly and swim it around with your hand occasionaly then it will get used to water.

I'm a good bird trainer for some reason. I havent trained my birds to do anything but I can train my friends birds in like 2 hours to do like 5 things. hehe.

[mariovssonic64]

i find all 3 of those ways very abusive =\

[firedrakelwarrior983]

Aw! So cute! :-)

[textprincess999]

he looks so happy all the time with his feathers fluffed up!very cute. :)

[Doomslayer123]

May i ask how you get him to take a bath? Mine refuses to ) =

[NadiaBluefox]

I was lucky to have him! He loved it from the start, I never learned him to love water. Try to make your birdie swim in the summer, when it's really hot! :)

[Pirate201]

I live in the United States but my family owns a beach house in Turkey and looks alot like it.

[Pirate201]

Were do you live it looks alot like Turkey!

[NadiaBluefox]

It's Holland, but it's an old house. Why??

[QuickBoyss]

Zozo ben ik weer :P

Gister heb ik me nieuwe parkiet gekregen :)

2 jaartjes oud en wit :D

Alleen me andere parkiet is bijna 2x zo groot omdat het australische parkiet is ofso :P

Ze zaten net al bij elkaar in de kooi dus het gaat wel goed :) Ik hoop dat het net zo vogel als die van jou zal worden das zo schattig :D

[NadiaBluefox]

Leuk! Maak er anders een keer een filmpje van, ben benieuwd!

[QuickBoyss]

Nou zal nu nog niet gaan ik denk dat die daar nog te bang voor is.. Ze durft nog niet echt.

Maar ze voelt zich wel veilig bij mijn andere parkiet terwijl ze allebei vrouwtjes zijn gaat het erg goed :)

[cheke64]

you hand fed him?

[NadiaBluefox]

Yes, he loves eating 'together' with my finger :)

[diaamd]

Gosh. ur parakeet is AWESOME!!!

[captmicha]

This reminds me of my birds. Sometimes after their shower, they'll go to their water dishes and then take a bath.

[puskaywacho]

oh ok..

[DoctorFist]

I had budgies too, but I read that they like to have shallow water to "bathe" in - I think in this case the bird is just trying to get through it really quickly to just barely get wet, but not submerge or anything (clearly bad). He'd probably enjoy a running faucet, and have a little shower under it!

[DoctorFist]

oh wait, nevermind. I see by your other videos you do this too! yup

[games606]

leuk om te zien hoe een vogel zich vermaakt...tenminste ik denk dat ie zich vermaakt:p

[hsmgrease7]

so sorry my friend wrote was written below.nice bird

[kmbrco]

Funny how they have such natural instincts to bathe. I love the basket with the toys hanging from it. Clever idea. Pretty Keewy!

[NadiaBluefox]

Thanx :):):)

[penis86]

English Budgie are cute I have an Parakeet but he is half bred He Is an American Englisg Budgie so he is like Fat Small Bird but he is so Cute

[NadiaBluefox]

sweet :) do you have a video of him?

[crazyking121]

man i love brds there soo cute!!!!

[Pennylane1952]

How sweet! Little bird has a loving home! You are a kind person! Birds are the eyes and ears of heaven!Peace Out!

[SOURHEART23]

a trillion stars !!!!!

[KryMeAnOcean]

I LOVE KEEWY!! KEEWY FOR EVER!!!

How long did it take for keewy to feel safe to come out of the cage and on to your hand after you got him? or her?

[NadiaBluefox]

Thanx!!! I will post more vids when I come back from holidays :)

I don't remember how long it took, but I know that at first, to make him adapt to our hands, we cut off his main feathers of his wings. It takes a lot of patience to make him adapt, but there were things which he loved at once, like music and water!!! ;)

[fattyparakeet]

my bird hates to bath...

[NightinGal89]

if he was born after february the 20th,he could be a pisces...

[NightinGal89]

do u know the parrots sign of the zodiac?maybe that would explain the love of water..
