[heelrunner]

Such gentle hands... The bird knows you won't hurt him.

[peimanda]

[peimanda]

[neerping]

OMG! I just LOVE how he closes his little oildrop eyes when you cuddle him! He's really getting into it! I bet those little feathers feel just like warm silk!!!

[ClaraZombie]

I'm planning on getting one for my birthday anything advice on these birds I should know about?

[isabelle2468100]

@ClaraZombie they need over 3 toys

[BeautyByTine]

Its cute ^^

[iloveshetlandponies]

Ohhh, he is ADORABLE! He looks to be enjoying that a lot. (:

[Kari1400]

Your parrolet is soo welll behaved I have 2. One is Rocky(Male) and Milli(Female). Milli is the only one who will actually listens to me she follows me too. Rocky is hard to control though. He is very aggressive but very afraid of us. He fights with Milli too. Their wings are clipped but they're starting to fly again. How did you train your bird?

[countrylovinme]

Cute! Oh my! I love it!

[Megato]

I might die of cuteness overload. xD

[DaHomieC]

That's beautiful.

Hi, i bought a Celestial Parrotlet yesterday, from a very good breeder, i think i'm gonna call HIm Chii Chii, But the problem is, he's abit skittish, for example, i open the little compartment in the cage, put my hand him, give him abit of millet, and he's happy, then i stroke his beak JUST But when i do it, he tries to get his beak round my finger i'm not sure if he's trying to bite, and if i get him out the cage, he flies round the room I'm not sure what steps to take to get him used to me - F

[kevin12412]

@TheParrotCarrot if hes tring to bite you it would hurt he might be trying to hang by his beak on your finger....or bite im no expert

[TheParrotCarrot]

Lols 0:21 :D

[TheBiskey]

[KillerPandora]

[bananatree94]

[metaljar02]

@XChantalStarlightXX your mentality is terrible

[95milkbone]

Very Sweet !!!!! This made my day

[MsKiwiproductions]

I didnt not know he died :( So sad.. check out my videos they might make you fell better

[parrotletparrots]

Pizzapete was an amazing parrotlet. He will be missed but will live on thru his videos.

[jo2460]

that is a boy

[kkmissfine]

He is so cute. It was so cute when he yawn. lol. Very Tamed Bird.

[RoeDirt33]

aww :) what a sweet little one. So tame. :)

[giveurlife2god]

I just got my Parrotlet almost 2 weeks ago, she's about 6 months old i named her Jovie, she's already starting to let me pet her like this.Yours is very cute little boy :)

[Onehitiggi]

hello there, i got 2 parrotlets today. they seem scared.. how did u learn them to "trust the hand"?

[LittleGreenJoy]

They will go through many stages. Make sure to handle both of them the same amount so neither one of them gets jealous.

[ezzysmom]

so sorry about him passing . I just lost my Blue crown on Feb 7th ,

Got my Parrolet Zeus today botn dec 26th

[flipxy]

Oh man he loves being petted just like my Parrotlet Blue. He would sleep in my palm and fall asleep when I would pet him. He especially loved being rubbed along his lower mandible. I miss him. He was only around 4 months when he died though :( (yesterday)

[Karan13]

that's sad for you man

[BEATLESCRAZY13]

You're so lucky to have a parrotlet that actually likes that! Oscar(my parrotlet) just HATES to be touched, he either bites -(REALLY HARD - Sometimes) - or flys back to his beloved cage! How do you get them to realize how nice it is?

[Yonggbaek]

he probably wasnt hand raised.. or doesnt get enough time with you either or. Most birds are really friendly if theyre hand raised and given at least four hours of attention a day.

[LadyTacoHat]

Your parrotlet is ADORABLE, and he's very comfortable with you....

[kbamch92]

aww my lovebird is never that sweet. I guess its b/c i have 2. That i a cute parrotlet.

[anitamyk]

hes so cool!

[batcountryrabid]

*yawn* that was so sweet :3

[Kitsaplorax]

I loved this clip. My parrotlet likes hiding on my shoulder, or standing on one finger with my hand positioned over him. He usually falls asleep after a few minutes, which may or may not include yawning.

[Artemisgoldfish]

The median price for a parrotlet (at least when I was in NY, when I owned one) was about $150 as a hand-raised adult, if you got them from a breeder. Stores jack up prices to ridiculous levels.

Parrotlets are really lovey (if they're into you, that is. If not, that big beak is a weapon). Mine would always tunnel into the folds of a bedsheet that I'd crumple up, and he'd also let me clean off the pinfeathers on the back of his neck and his head.

[utk786]

how much does a parrotlet cost

[batcountryrabid]

not as much as a cockatoo and thats all that matters really....:D

[LilyTheParrotlet]

cute parrotlet

[andylinder]

please can someone tell me what they think the best and worst thing about parrotlets is. i am thinking of getting one soon and i would like to know what to expect. thankyou very much

[PeachFuzzPop]

They are fun and fiesty. And VERY active birds.

At least my Kiwi is. She is NUTS.

[andylinder]

thankyou

[HoovesAndWings]

hahah arent they though?? they are NEVER still unless they are in one of those little "snuggly" moods which is absolutely adorable :DD

:) :) Mine is Figgy, Kiwi is a cute name! ^^

[fortunmakr]

I got a cute Parrotlet a couple of weeks ago. I've been doing the scratch his head while he's wrapped in a blanket and that is going ok.

He still is anxious and flighty and biting though. He is about 4 mths old. I'm wondering if I should go back and get an even younger bird. Or do you think I should just keep working with this guy? I don't want a parrotlet that won't snuggle, or bites and won't come etc. Had a parokeet like that once and it just ends up sitting in the cage all the time.

[Tsukikage99]

aww so cute!

my Canart Winged parakeet loves a good head scratsh like that.

as a matter of fact I am doing that now and he fell asleep on me!

[lankandjz]

can u guys tell me which bird is better budie or parrolet n explain y cuz i am plannign on trading my 6 budgie for 2 parrolet

[zionx4]

Can anyone help me? I have a Pacific Parrotlet and she was bound to me once I met her, she loved to be snuggled, but a few days after she started to bite me, and fly away from me, can anyone tell me why??

[gaethiel]

Hi! Sorry to hear you're having all that trouble. How old is she? PizzaPete is now in that mode too..;-/ but, I know why. He's getting so territorial! Give her some distractions or can you think of something in particular that scared her? Parrotlets seem to remember Everything that may have caused her to act differently. Try to start all over again from square one and see if you can't pick up on what's making her fly. Offer lots of treats in your hand too. Gae

[Kari1400]

@zionx4 Thats also been happening to me with Milli

[Tigerbarb202]

@zionx4 growing up they tend to get nasty by sexual maturity just keep working with him and become nice again but you'll have to take a bite every now and again anyway.

[boombella]

Hi Gae,

I thought you said all was quiet on YT lately. Looks like this vid is getting lots of traffic. Now be a good lady and don't delete these nice comments! We like to come back and read all the nice things people say, LOL

My hard drive with all my videos has crashed and I did not make a back up. I kept putting it off. I still have all the tapes, but the editing is gone.

[gaethiel]

Ohhhh Nooooooo...computer crashed??? Well, we'll just have to make new ones, huh...lolol Think we've just about used up every parrotlet subject we can think of. Everything edited is still on YT so That is good, right?? Nope, haven't rubbed out anyone since you talked to me about that and I have been a Very good girl. I do look at some of the comments and say to myself, 'did I answer that one??' ...mostly that happens in my Inbox tho. Gae

[boombella]

Yeah, most of the stuff is posted but I hate loosing anything!

[gaethiel]

Hi Karen! Did you get your hard drive fixed up finally? No, haven't deleted a single one; you'd be so proud of me! What have you been up to lately?? Gae

[4G63TSIAWD]

Awe what a cutie, I just picked my baby parrotlet up on sunday and wow shes quite the biter. At times she just holds on. How do i train her not to bite and alow me to clddle her?

[gaethiel]

Hi! Sorry I'm so late to respond but wasn't logging out and YouTube must have finally said, 'that's enough of That...' so now I have to be a good girl. How old is this little birdie (name?)...if she's a baby (8 weeks) she shouldn't be biting that much. Possibly she wasn't hand fed but for now, stay away from the beak (obviously..lol) and try to teach her ''step ups'' on your finger for starters. Pizza is now a little over a year and he can get ornery too. Keep me posted! Gae

[lalalatv]

I love him!!!!!!!!

He is absolutely precious! I am also owned by a Parrotlet boy. He is about 6 weeks old, and he is still being hand-fed.

I've always wanted to try to teach my birds to lay on their back. How do you train them? Any tips?

[gaethiel]

Hi! Pizza was more ''snuggly'' when that video was taken. He's over a year now and is Really asserting himself now! I get bitten every now and then, believe me! 6 weeks is very young so you shouldn't have any problem with him trusting you. Since he is being hand fed, you shouldn't have Any problems in that area! He's already used to hands. Boombella is the lady to ask on 'tips' in fact, it was she who first introduced PizzaPete to this little trick. Love to hear from you. Gae

[blueandyellowguitar]

wow, only 7 weeks old and hes that tame!

my parrotlet was old when I got him from the pet store where he didnt get much attention, and its really sad cuz he wont let me pet him at all, and Im trying to be patient and calm but hes got a bad temper. I still love him though, I wish he knew how much he would like to be snuggled.

[origami89]

my parrotlet is a jerk

[gaethiel]

OH NO....how come?? Tell me all about him/her. PizzaPete has his 'moments' believe me. He's getting into these 'fixation' phases where he will bite hard if you bother anything he's fixated on, say a spray bottle for instance and he loves sitting on drawers you pull out. We put a stop to that one because he was becoming down and out mean if you disturbed him. I think it brings out the 'nesting' urge in them for some reason.

Gae

[amakun]

Your boy is too adorable! Especially loved the yawn. :)

[gaethiel]

Looks like I missed your post till now, sorry about that! Thanks so much for the nice comment about my little guy. We just had Boombella's little Bean over night on Monday. There's a real sweetie for you! Gae

[amakun]

I have to say this video is one of my favourites; it cheers me up alot for some reason. I hope you and Boombella keep posting videos of these cute little guys!

[gaethiel]

Hi amakun!! I finally found you ...heard your message come in but then lost you in PP's Snuggle vid. I've got to get you in my contact list somehow. Karen and I've kinda run out of ideas ...we've taped PizzaPete how many times??? LOLOL I'm so happy to hear he cheers you up. Write me in ...what is it, general mail. Can't go look 'cause I would lose this note. Yikes!!! Everyone that has tuned in to Parrotlets has been so nice to write to. Thanks again! Gae

[sahree]

cute little guy.

[gaethiel]

PizzaPete thanks you so much! He's quite a character, that guy. So different than any of the other 4 parrotlets we have had. Right now he's going thru a very 'posessive' period in his little life.  Once he spreads that tail out, you're in for big trouble...lolol

Gae

[ObsidianPhoenix06]

Such a little cutie! Aww.

[gaethiel]

Hi MJ! PizzaPete said to thank you for the nice complement but can never take the credit for any videos as Karen does all the work and I'm like you, trying to get the hang of all this YouTube stuff. Isn't it wonderful tho?! I got the 'Dummie' book but still have to look it over...how many parrotlets do you have? Gae

[Wombatius123]

I have the same kind of parrotlet, also a male, but my guy is smaller than yours. Yours looks to be quite big for a parrotlet, yes? My guy weighs in at a whopping 24 grams.  :)

Happy New Year, and congratulations on having such a sweet lil guy! :)

[boombella]

My parrotlet Bean is about 24-25 grams too. PizzaPete is over 30 grams. We think it could be because he has more muscle mass from all the flying he does.  Are your guys wings clipped?

[Wombatius123]

My little guy is not wing-clipped. If a bird cannot fly then the heart muscle doesn't get any exercise, which leads to heart disease early on, and an early death. So I don't clip my bird. :)

[gaethiel]

We used to clip our birds but not any more. I'd rather take the chance of escape vs illness's. PizzaPip got out of the house in Aug. and we still get 'sightings' of him...last week he was only a block from us! Gae

[Chakanie]

u can call him back. this happened to me i was wailing so much i played video games to sleep (lol) then the next morning he was on a tree in front of our lawn..so i went out climbed up to no avail. couple hours later he was on my neighbors tree...i called him down to the grass n captured him back!! i was so happy. i think its irresponsible to just leave ur bird out there. what if he gets eaten by a hawk or something?

[Chakanie]

oh this was 5 months ago...i wonder what happend :(

[whiteeyelet]

@gaethiel Oh no!!! did you ever get him back??

[Tigerbarb202]

@Wombatius123 actually the birds wings get clipped and them they grow back so the bird gets a chance to fly around for a week or so before the next clipping and flying has nothing to do with heart muscles. the heart muscled get exercised by pumping blood not flying where did you get the absurd notion that flying affects the heart??????????? or did you just make that up?????????
