Parrotlet escape artist

[dacrazyboi123456789]

damn lol he almost broke his neck tryna get out lol

[coyotx]

I didn't know that birds are so flexible..and bendable....

[SpockLover27]

Omg. There should NOT be that many in such a small cage. Shame on you.

[Kjelstad]

I had a female lovebird that would do the same thing. She would make sure no one was watching and zip out in a second. she would look around real quick and then she would lift it up for the male and he would follow her around. It took me months to catch her doing it. I wish video cameras existed back then.

[SolarDiamond]

Very clever! I like how the other ones come to the door after he's out. They're like, "Omg! How'd you do that!?"

[ReverieRhapsody]

My favorite part about this video - the little escape artist is my parrotlet, Flash, prior to me receiving him. :) I'm happy to say, he no longer tries to escape.

P.S. Hi Denise! :)

Yes they are smart.. Sad to say my bird did that too till it fell on his neck. His not around anymore. Broke his neck. Lock is a great idea.

[OskarsMom]

A wooden clothespin (without the springs kind) works really well to prevent this....Easier to remove when needed too. They are tricky devils, I'm just always scared it will be the neck that gets stuck, lol.

this is how my parrotlet use to get out hes blue and his name is jack and my cage is the same as yours except i have the small doors on the sides

[thelimegreengirl11]

[timoxomit]

Lols at 0:20 he is like "Roger roger, this is houdini 007 speaking, my rear is stuck, I repeat my rear is stu!!! (Tail gets free)"

When I got my first budgie years back when I was like 13, the pet store owner told me to twist tie any sliding doors because apparently small birds break their necks like that all the time.

You should see my bird Mahina escape out of her cage, it happens mostly near the end.

[parrotletkid]

O.O

[captmicha]

My lovebirds do that same thing. I have to put clips on the doors. And they have like ten doors per cage!

[cegmglick]

I have a similar cage for my p'let. Normally used only at at night, but on a trip I had him in there for the day. Well, during lunch he was upstairs & all of a sudden I heard a loud racket from him. Went up, looked & he was out! Brought the cage downstairs & pretty soon he tried to get out again. Only this time I caught him at it. :)

[chaseandfred]

lol I have to lock my cage doors for my quaker because he does that same thing!

[imxnotxtellin]

how many birds are in the cage?(it was too blurry for me to count)abd they are SO cute!

[dminainmi]

There were 5 total... Thank you! I think they are pretty cute too.

[dminainmi]

I have locked the cage doors so nobirdy gets hurt...

[nihnah66]

the birdie can get stuck and strangle himself =0( , carefull

[dminainmi]

I have locked all the cage doors so nobirdy gets hurt

[flashywings]

Very cute! My lovebirds' first cage was a Hoei cage with feed doors like that. They used to take turns letting each out in the same manner. One would lift the door and let the other out, then the one on the outside would return the favor. We finally had to put quick links on the feed doors to prevent them from doing this.

[Boomberry]

Cute but you want to be careful with those type of doors - that could have easily got jammed around his neck and strangled him. Best to peg them down I think.

[ctf0909]

My budgie could do that too - same type of cage. I used to put twisty ties on all the doors, that worked, but she loved to chew them! BTW, wonder if he also lets himself back in while you are out - who knows how long he is spending outside the cage and what he is doing!!!

[jalambo]

my birds used to escape like that too!

[kimforster]
