Some footage of my Eastern Rosella playing in his birdroom, not getting into trouble, not destroying expensive things, not screaming his lungs out, not biting me. In short, behaving well.
Thanks for watching!

Beautiful!! I have cared for eastern rosellas for a couple of years now! My Quinto is as well behaved, just foraging around and having fun, fully fledged also. Well done! Rosellas are hard to tame, very shy and since they don't talk, they end up in rescues a lot.... people usually don't know how to care for them...it takes tremendous patience to gain a rosella's trust but it's soooooo worth it!! Cheers from Canada!
My previous rosella was a feisty troublemaker and a lot of fun around the house, except for visitors which he chased around :D I once had a rescue rosella, a feather plucker, and she was tame in no time and needed a lot of attention. This one demands attention every now and then, but likes to do his own thing most of the time, which is indeed common behaviour. When you finally gain their trust, it gives you a sense of accomplishment, they indeed don't trust anyone that easily. For most people it takes too much effort, and then they end up in a rescue :( For that, it's a good thing they're not popular at all here. Cheers from the Netherlands and say hi to Quinto!
@@sparrowshedge7603 I just got eastern rosellas, male and female. what to do to gain their trust? will hand feeding some fruits help or scare them more?
@@pinkmaro It depends on how much they trust humans, and their history. Find out what their favourite food is, and present it to them (hold it between your fingers). Come as close as possible, without them feeling uncomfortable (or feeling like they're backed into a corner). Be very patient and talk to them gently, and if they don't eat it drop the food into the foodtray while they're watching. That way they associate hands and your voice with food. If one gets curious, the other should follow. Rosellas aren't the most easy birds to train in most cases, so it's important to be persistant and to have patience.
@@sparrowshedge7603 thank you! I'll try 😊
@@pinkmaro No problem, good luck!
Me be like: Awww... it looks so cute on the fan! My dad be like: TURN THE FAN ON!!!
I feel bad for laughing at this, LOL!
A potato flew around my room before you came -
Cute rosella💕
:-)
Looks like he was trying to forage for food in that pinecone!
They love it when you hide food in things, and pinecones are perfect for that :)
Because Rosella birds are Parrots
I recently got one. He's just 1.5 month old and I know they are very independent and don't like to be handle. Buut I've been spending many of my evenings with him and he knows how to step up innmy finger, but still "scare" or jumping everytime I try to get him out of the cage. I really hope that he'll be able to be happy around me more and be able to go out of the cage by himself. Becauese is my first Rosella and even when I have raise other birds this one is taking a LOT of patient. But he is so gorgeous!😍
If he steps up your finger, you already made a lot of progress!! They're indeed difficult birds to tame, but once they trust you, you have earned it. They simply don't trust anyone, so well done! Keep in mind that his cage is his safe place. Keep your hand out of it as much as possible, or always present a treat first. They are indeed beautiful birds :-)
How is your rosella doing now ? Ive had the same difficulties as you when i got mine as baby. I tamed her so she steps up. But they just arent the hug 🤗 type of birds. Got mine for 11 years now and she whistles and flys onto my shoulder sometimes when i call her or when i walk to another room she follows me. And gives me kisses. But whenever i hoger my hand or approach her from above she flys/runs away like theres no tomorrow 😅. If i just grab her she doesnt like it but she never bit me. Unlike my New girlfriend , she straightup Made her finger bleed when she put her hands in the cage and tried to make her step up 😂.
Looks fun
beauty.. we have some plants to learn.. ;-)
Very beauty))))
I used to have an Eastern Rosella. He would wake us up by chirping and "barking" at my cockatiel, and sometimes cat calling us. If you waved a scarf or blanket near him he'd flap his wings and start dancing while cat calling you. Then sometimes if you turned on either any song by Megan Trainor or Havana by Camilla Cabello he'd dance and at least try to sing along. They're such intelligent and incredible birds. Plus, their personalities are adorable.
Thank you for sharing your story :) Rosellas indeed have wonderful personalities!
I got so emotional watching this as I rescued a rejected chick (called Chicky) and kept him until he could fly up and down and forage for himself. before I released him I taught him what I call "the chicky whistle) so whenever I see some rosellas I can call to him and he replies. even though I see him daily I still miss him a lot
Thank you for sharing this story! You did the right thing, and someday Chicky will have chicks himself, thanks to you :D That is something to be very proud of!
@@sparrowshedge7603 Thankyou, I think this year he is too young to breed so hopefully next year! I can look forward to my rescue magpies chicks as I have seen her making a nest:) my dad told me "if you love him let him go, if he comes back he is yours, if he doesn't he never was". when I first released him he returned but then I let him go another time and he flew to the log he hatched in and waited for his family to return. I'm so happy watching him fly around with his family:)
@@Ajb5591 Those were truly wise words! Magpies are a bit more social, so i'll bet you're going to see them again. Would be fantastic if they brought their offspring with them someday :D Keep up the good work!!
woaah I got a rosella one week ago and I love her so much, her name is Rose! however, she seems so shy to even eat around me, but also seems way more friendly around me than my family.. she is adorable and im so happy she started to at least whistle around me just 3 days ago, does it take that much for rosellas to become tame? and when should I let her out of her cage? since she only go into the corner of the cage when I try to approach her..I love her so much and I need tips on how to gain her trust, if you could help me
It's a good sign that she's more friendly around you. Rosellas usually see everyone else as intruders. They are hard to tame though, you need a lot of patience. Make sure the cage is near you and when you approach her, stay at eye level with her. The cage is her territory, so don't put your hand in it if you don't need to. Offer her treats through the cage. If she doesn't get it from your fingers, drop it into a tray especially for treats. It's all about gaining trust and rosellas are very stubborn. Female rosellas usually have an easier and friendlier character.
@@sparrowshedge7603 oh! Thank you so much, I will make sure to follow your tips! Tbh now I'm so happy because last night she didn't sleep into the corner of the cage anymore, and slept closer to me (still in her cage) on that stick (idk how to explain, English is not my first language) but I will be patient and do as you said, again thank you so much!
@@teetee1890 Cool! When you leave her out of the cage, make sure she knows what windows are (tap against it when she looks at you). Glad i could help!
@@sparrowshedge7603 tbh I'm not so sure about letting her out of her cage, its been just 1 week since I got her, I dont want to let her out and then catch her so she would go back in :( but how much time does it take to let her out? And shouldn't I make sure she's no longer afraid of me before doing that??
@@teetee1890 Oh, good thing you mention that. One week is indeed too soon. She has to get used to her new enviroment first, get used to the daily routine inside the house. Once she's used to it, you can let her out, but always keep an eye on her. It's always an exciting moment for a bird to leave the safety of the cage for the first time. Make sure not to startle her with sudden movements or sounds. Don't feed her outside of the cage, she has to get back into the cage when she's hungry. It's up to you to decide when you think she's ready to leave the cage.
Hello! I actually have an eastern rosella but with the lutino/rubino mutation, but when I got him he was already close to be 1 year old and was not tamed (raised in the wild), so obviously he doesn't trust me at all and I don't know if I should just leave him some alone time, I make him watch some parrot videos so he doesn't feel lonely but there aren't a lot of content when it comes to rosellas... Also I don't know if it's normal because it had been said everywhere that rosellas don't sing a lot but mine sings all the time, I hope it's because he's comfortable enough, it's been three months that I got him and I want to do the right things, though I'm afraid to let him out of the cage if I can't even approach him to let him go back in his cage (he resides in my room) So yeah if anyone have more advice, I'll be more than happy to listen
Rosellas are notoiousely hard to train, they're very stubborn. You need a lot of patience. Try to find out what his favourite food is and offer it to him between your fingers. If he gets uncomfortable when you're close, drop it into his food bowl when he's watching. Have the cage at a certain distance to you. If he's comfortable with that, try placing the cage a bit closer to you and keep doing that until he's comfortable with a close distance. Talk to him. Don't put your hands inside his cage, that's his domain, his safe house. It can take a long time for him to trust your hands, but when he does, it'll be very rewarding! If he sings, and yes they can sing beautifully, that's usually a sign that they don't feel threatened. Always observe his behaviour when you interact with him. When they feel comfortable, they puff up their feathers and their cheek feathers hide their under beak. When they're on their toes or alarmed, their feathers are smooth and the bird is hunched over, ready to fly from danger.
@@sparrowshedge7603 Thank you so much for your answer! So I really suppose he's comfortable, I'll keep playing more videos for him so he can enjoy some nice bird noise background For sure I try to speak very softly to him and have slow movements when I have to go past his cage so he doesn't get too stessed
@@lohunaa You're welcome and good luck with your rosella! And sorry for the late reply!
Hi does your rossela talk?
No, but i've never teached my birds to talk.
Beautiful bird! How long did it take to make him/her used to stay free in ur house without flying away from u? And does she/he want to stay on ur hand?
It took almost a year, some frustration and a lot of patience to teach him to get into his cage when it's time. He loves getting attention, but for some reason he really doesn't want to sit in my hands. Usually Rosellas love to fight in a playful manner and act tough, but this is my first rosella who is very modest.
Sparrow's Hedge thanks a lot for ur answer! Maybe he will stay on ur hand soon ;) don't give up! And have a happy 2018!
I don't mind if he's ever going to sit on my hand or not, as long as he's happy to be around me :-) Thanks and you have a Happy 2018 too!
it took mine 5 years to step up willingly. Now I cry tears of joy when she lifts her small foot up on command :D
Well done! A bird is much happier and confortable when it can fully trust you :-)
How do you tame a rosella my does not want to be near any human please help
Rosellas are very hard to tame. Even canaries can be tamed more easily. It takes a lot of patience. I've got my bird for 10 years now, and he still doesn't want to sit on my hand. They're not the cuddly type too. But they're still social birds and love attention, just don't force anything.
Sparrow's Hedge how should I approach it to make it feel happy around me
Every bird has a different approach, but in general it's best to be social with your bird. Put the cage ~3ft from where you sit, and move it graduately closer. When he starts to feel unconfortable, put the cage back a bit. Talk to it during your daily activities, and whistle back when he whistles (they love to squabble). Put a small food tray between the bars where he sits the most, and offer his favourite food there. Hold it between your fingers, and when he refuses to take it, drop it into the small food tray and back away. Eventually he will associate your hand/fingers with a treat and get curious. Never make sudden moves. Read its body language. when he looks affraid, back off a bit untill he feels confortable. They can also act defensively (head- and neckfeathers raised, upper parts of wings spread). Act freigened to build his confidence then. It takes patience. On some birds more than others, and rosellas aren't the easiest ones.
I have one a robino. She sits on mij head hand and shoulder. She comes to me when i call and have food and say lets eat. She east rice patato and pudding vanilla. I brought her up as a very young bird. I do know i love this old lady i bought her with my father he left this earth. What can i say i love these birds. They need atention and love a lot.
Hey i have a rosella and its in the corner of my room and i sit on the chair all the time ive got him for like 5-6 months idk why he runs away every time
Rosellas aren't the most social birds, they're very suspicious. But with a lot of patience they can become tame. Spend a lot of time talking to him from a distance. If he;s in the cage, put the cage one feet away from you so that he can observe you. Put a small food tray in his cage for his favourite food and offer him his favourite food there from outside the cage, never put your hand inside the cage! When you look at him or talk to him, try to show more of one side of your face. When you look straight at a bird, especially rosellas, they can feel threatened (you're locking onto prey). It's a lot of work taming a rosella, but once you succeed, it's absolutely worth it!
hi ive got the same breed as you and had it for 2 and half years wouldnt let me go near it at all but all off a sudden i can pet it through the cage but it also closes its eyes while near me should i be worried? Edit: ive just realised ive commented before and actually been taking your advice nothing really happened apart from me and my parrot whistling to eachother
A rosella that is suddenly tame (ish) sounds suspicious to me. Keep an eye on him! It might be nothing (maybe he suddenly realised that your hands are no threat), but birds tend to hide an illness. If you take him to the vet for an exam, wrap him in a towel (not too tight and make sure he's not overheating) and wear leather (motorbike) gloves (protection and "disguising" your hands). If he sits up straight, puffs up his feathers a bit and closes his eyes when you're near to him, it might indicate that he's comfortable around you. In that case it's good progress!
@@sparrowshedge7603 when he is near me they close their eyes with his bottom eye lid like pushing it up but i started hand feeding it with a walnut (they love them) but sometimes trys to sneakily get a nibble on my finger so i put my finger in a wanted to see what will happen and it bite my finger with enough force to leave a red mark kinda scared me tbh its really weird to me
@@thomaswelsh9178 That sounds like normal rosella behaviour to me. Rosellas are provocative by nature and sometimes bite for no particular reason. In that case, if he bites your index finger, put your thumb on his upper beak (if possible). Now you are "biting" him (don't use force). That'll leave him confused, so you can make a game out of it. If he bites hard, you can also try to "push him over". He'll lose his ballance and has to let go or turns the bite into a gentle "grab on". Either way, don't pull back if this doesn't work. Use the finger on your other hand to distract him. It's an interaction, which has to be turned into something positive. Stay patient!
@@sparrowshedge7603 hi i have a cage that is able to open at the top so i thought i should let it out to see what happens it was very wary of everything it toke 30 mins for it get out but when it did it flew for about a 10-15s but never really flew out of the cage before but when it stopped and landed on top of its cage it opened its beak wide as it can go and its tongue pushed out. should i keep letting it out it goes in to get a few seeds then i lock it up (And sorry for all these questions i just want it to be happy and safe)
@@thomaswelsh9178 Sounds to me like he needs a work-out. It's good for him to fly around but be careful with windows! Make sure that something is "marking" the windows, like putting bird stickers on them and/or hanging something in front of them. If he's near a window, tap on it or put your hands on the windoe so he understands that it's a barrier. I'm always happy to help out, so don't worry about the questions.
I got rozela like that and it's my first parrot and i don't know to to train to sit on hand .wen i try to train he scrym loud and i don't know what to do?
Rosellas are usually hard to tame and stubborn. They're not the cuddly type too. But they're still social birds and love attention, just don't force anything. When he screams it's out of fear. Put the cage ~3ft from where you sit, and move it graduately closer. When he starts to feel uncomfortable, put the cage back a bit. Talk to it during your daily activities, and whistle back when he whistles (they love to squabble). Put a small food tray between the bars where he sits the most, and offer his favourite food there.

@@sparrowshedge7603 thanks for helping 😊
@@Meska_x No problem. Good luck, i hope it helps!
I had my rosella for 2.5 weeks and he is not afraid off me that much. Im spending all day talking to him and when i let him out he doesnt fly away when i get closer. I heard that they get fat quick if they eat lot of sunflower seeds. Is that true?
Well done! Rosellas are not the easiest birds to tame, so you're on track! Every rosella i had loved sunflower seeds. I could offer them all kinds of treats but they always prefered sunflower seeds. One was crazy about french fries (unsalted and baked in sunflowerseed oil), but i've never had one that got fat. As long as your rosella can move around freely, you don't have to worry about that.
@@sparrowshedge7603 Thank you for your advice =D
@@millosy7467 No problem, and thank you for subscribing!
@@sparrowshedge7603 Hello! It has been a while. Just whanted to tell you that your advice helped me a LOT. I trained my parrot with sunflower seeds and tamed him in one month (probably because i got him very young). He is comfortable stepping on my finger and shoulder. One youtuber sad that you shouldnt touch below their heads because its sexsual to them. Is that true?
@@millosy7467 That is awesome, well done! The other issue is more complicated. It differs from bird to bird. Female rosellas are more sensitive to that, but both male and females preen and have to be preened. It's a social activity. During the mating season rosellas are, like any other parrot, extra sensitive and you should avoid contact that your rosella can interpret as courting (especially under the wings and the back). You can recognise it when you've gone too far when your rosella looks like it's in a trance. Never had a problem with male rosellas though. But during mating season, both male and females can behave differently, more feisty. Sorry for the late reply by the way.
Can you answer me a coulpe questions?I hadn't seen a rosella ever since last summer,when a pet store brought 3 pairs. They were beautiful. And I'd like to know what their personality is. I haven't heard good things about them. I've heard they are mean, easily spooked, can even kill smaller birds. Is that really true????
Yes and no. The rosella in this video was very modest and gentile and tolerated my canaries. One of those canaries was actually his best friend (although i always kept an eye on him). The one before him was a very bossy, dominant bird, chased everyone out of the room. He loved to fight me in a playful manner. They don't talk, or very rarely. They need a lot of patience since they're not easy to tame. Generally they're difficult birds that sadly often end up in rescues. The rosella in this video was an exception to the rule. He was quite happy just flying around the birdroom and livingroom.
@@sparrowshedge7603 Thanks for answering... I have canaries too... One is so active my tiel told him one time:I'm gonna hit you... I laughed so hard...🤣
@@skyballoon8386 Canaries are wonderful birds, they can be very cheeky too!
@@sparrowshedge7603 I have one, hand reared since he was 15 days. He is really beautiful, and has a strange colour. The problem is he is too active. Even for a canary, he is hyper. But he is well loved.
@@skyballoon8386 Cool! Canaries are often underrated and people usually don't take the effort to tame a canary. Four years ago i saved a 12-day old canary, he now has 4 youngsters of his own :)
It looks like a parrot and acts like a pigeon.
LOL!
I have rosell
They're lovely birds :)
Ok but- does rosellas talk? I mean if you try to teach them
I have never heard a rosella talk. (sorry for the late reply)
Hi well my rosella do talk
They do talk , theres just not alot of footage because 8/10 of them are good pets. They are hard to tame so people don’t got the patience for it. But mine whistles and she’s a female I’ve seen male rosellas that talk and they whistle a lot.
kzhead.info/sun/Y5WegLashoZngmw/bejne.html
How old is he ? got a hard time telling if he is a male or not lol My male crimson rosella became lighter in colour in his old age its why im asking still i must say your rosella is one feathery indiana jones lol
It's a male, or so i've been told. I don't know his exact age, but he was very young when i adopted him. He's around 12 years old now. My camera doesn't pick up the colours very well, his coulors are much more vibrant in real life. Thanks for watching and cheers to your rosella!
Lack of vibrancy in their colours means they are needing more of certain vitamins and minerals that an ordinary seed diet doesn't give them Vetark (in UK) have great supplementation to correct these deficiencies...their powders go a long way even for very ill and near hopeless cases.....,but also varied leafy salad vegetables, spinach, broccoli spears, all kinds of lettuces, boiled egg (maybe mashed up with a bit of butter), scrambled egg, soaked nuts (mine love walnuts & pecans especially), a bit of cheese now and again and really many things that we eat can be interesting titbits for them. On no account avocado...it kills them. Correct the deficiencies and you'll be amazed at the colour vibrancy even when very old. The males have chunkier/bigger heads and are generally more boisterous and the females can be quite impish although more shy.
I think you misread my comment. My rosella's colours are vibrant, it's just that the camera doesn't do it justice (or my editing program). Especially with red. Don't worry, i make sure my birds are well fed (spoiled sometimes). Avodado is a danger that i've been warned about at a young age! He's very picky when it comes to food, but his diet includes all he needs. I'm pretty sure it's a male, he likes to show off, playfight and quarrel. His colours also indicate that he's a male. On the other hand, he makes those squeaky noises that females usually make during mating season and is very comfortable being near me. So far i haven't seen him lay an egg, haha. So i assume it's a male.
Hi Sparrow's Hedge...Sorry, I was replying to Dokkan Fan whose male crimson rosella became lighter in colour in his old age and to anyone else wondering how to help that. I enjoyed your video and I can see you have a very happy chappie. I have 2 rosellas, a male golden-mantle, and a female stanley rosella. I also show them videos like yours. Thank you.
Hi Sylvia. No problem, i completely missed Dokkan Fan's remark about the fading colours (imagine that, it's only 3 sentences) and thus failed to answer it. My appologies to Dokkan Fan! However, i did enjoy your post. Rosellas aren't popular petbirds, so any detailed advise is always a good thing! In fact, pet parrots, parakeets and canaries are far from popular in the Netherlands, so your comment about Vetark made me curious if the product is also available here. So far without any luck, but i'm definitely going to try it out! Say hi to your rosellas from me and my rosella!
