Releasing New Birds Into the Aviary Java Sparrows & a Baby Cockatiel

Today is a special day in the aviary as new birds are released, including Java sparrows and a baby cockatiel. Watching birds explore a new space, settle in, and interact with the existing flock is one of the most rewarding parts of aviary life.

This aviary is home to a mix of species including budgies (budgerigars), parrots, cockatiels, Java sparrows, and other finches, all sharing a space designed for flight, enrichment, and natural behaviour. Budgies and cockatiels are highly social parrots that thrive in large aviaries, while Java sparrows add constant movement and calm flock energy.

This channel focuses on real aviary life, bird care, and bird keeping, showing birds as they should be kept — with space, stimulation, and proper welfare. Whether you’re interested in budgies, cockatiels, parrots, Java sparrows, finches, or building and managing an aviary, this video gives a genuine look inside a working bird setup.
