My Amazon would have shredded that book into confetti in a matter of minutes and then run up my body to bite me in the face. She has been in the family for about 21 years, the last 14 years with me. We are obviously still a work in progress!
Yes, we lower the lights gradually (thank you dimmers!), put on ambient rain sounds, and chill vibes, and make sure not to crinkle any bags around the birds for an hour or so before nigh nigh time. A little bit of almond as a tiny snack and some head scritches also help put them in the mood for sleep also. Then they start to make those beak crunching noises, their eyes close, and they usually go sit on their highest perch in their enclosures without any screaming or fuss. It’s so sweet When we first got our first rescue bird we didn’t realize this is how you do it, and tried to shove him in the cage and expect him to just happily go in there. He would scream and freak out, jump back out and onto our shoulders. Then we ended up scraping him off our shoulders into the cage while my husband and I bickered about what eachother were doing wrong and just covering him, feeling terrible about it. Now we know we have a much much happier bird on our hands after not having a panic at bed time
My 5 month old budgie, QTPi, was chirping and chattering at me and once the music started, she got silent and still. When I walked over to get a cup of tea, she still was silent. (She usually chatters at me to come back.) Amazing!
These moments are so good to create. Not only for new bird but also birds you already have. A 1 on 1 moment where it's just you and the bird and they don't have to do anything. No training, no high energy interaction. Just hanging out, being together. I love this video.
Tips for others struggling with this watch the BirdTricks vid on diet converting small birds and if your bird is still just picking out the seeds then try to use finely ground nuts instead much harder for them to pick through
@@SeabassFishbrains are they? I guess if you get them young it’s not hard. My 4 month old budgie seems to be eating all of his veggies, no problem. I’m not taking any credit for it either. He just eats them all and I didn’t have to convert him
Watching this video in my bird room with my three newly rehomed quakers and two gccs, as the music starts the screaming instantly stopped lol, it’s like magic.
My Quaker bites on my books and clothes when near me. He wants full attention all the time, except when watching tv. But thanks to your channel we have made progress in other areas. 😊
@@BillyNoMates1974 oh okay nice , yea caiques are my absolute favorite, I have two males one WB and one black headed caique, I really want to get a female lime thigh caique, but those are extremely rare to find , But I do want to get at least one lime thigh or WB female caique maybe even two to have an equal number of males and females .
Am getting two budgies soon and i wanna make sure i do everything perfect so i watch alot of your videos! They really help me! So am very excited! And i might get the mistery box for small bird toys :D am excited to support you!❤️
@@Marvel_vs_Capcom84 yes.. i know lol but its my first time having birds and i wanted a lovebird but i wasn’t aloud to get one until am like older or more like into the whole bird thing. But yeah i do know they need a large cage, sertain foods, shower, and other stuff
I love this idea. I spend every morning before work, after cleaning, in the aviary with my budgie and rescued love birds. I'm going to try playing this list while I have coffee with my birds, love birds may not be "high energy" but mine are high anxiety. I hope this helps.
Why would someone give up such a young caique? Thank you for training these birds so they can be rehomed, and for helping us train our rescue birds that we have gotten from people who never bothered to train their companion animals before giving them up to rescue organizations
@@Marvel_vs_Capcom84 I blame all of the cute and funny viral videos of caiques people see on Tik Tok and RUclips of caiques stomping around and being adorable, so people get a caique from a breeder thinking their caique will start stomping around like the ones in the video, not realizing that there’s a lot more that goes into bird ownership than cute behavior that goes viral, and that you have to train them for months to get to the point where they can even be out and hanging around just stomping around the floor or your kitchen counter like in those videos. Then they get annoyed that their bird isn’t magically like the ones in the viral videos, and dump it at a shelter. Very sad.
@@period.9260 I agree 100 percent ppl need to do research before purchasing any kind of bird , caiques are my favorite type of parrots but from the time I discovered them about 4 or 5 years ago until now I have done none stop research on them and learn new things everyday ..
@@spiritmatter1553 oh that’s so true, and terrible hormonal bird behavior are something you don’t see a lot of on RUclips or TikTok in viral videos. Those don’t get shared by The Dodo. So when you get a bird you think it’s gonna be all fun and cute. But then spring hits or adolescence hits and it’s all screaming, biting, molting, brattiness, and you start to wonder “Am I just bad at being a bird owner? Maybe I shouldn’t own birds?” Not realizing that a lot of it is normal, and also a lot of it can be “fixed” with controlling daylight hours, diet, behavior, and just patience
Before my cockatiel passed away, I was able to calm her simply by stroking her. Came in very handy for vet visits. Even though she was generally very calm (as in if you needed to give her meds, she'd readily just take it) and loved being handled she'd still kind of squawk in protest, but after I stroked her head she just kind of quieted down.
Widget is soo cute! This info is so important, so if you are reading this comment, PLEASE follow this video and LISTEN to Jamieleigh! She and Dave are awesome! They made bird toyboxes for all bird sizes! The natural feeding system is so helpful! They have helped me a LOT, so I hope they can help you too!
This totally worked! My two crazy, spring feverish green cheeks zoned out completely staring at the screen (and since that's what I was going for, I'll call that a good thing with parrots, not so great for kids or husbands, heh!).
I have to try this! My budgie screams all morning for no apparent reason, but in the afternoon he's chill. I think I'm not encouraging it, but I'm not comletly sure. This will come in handy twice as much since I'm bringing home new baby budgie tomorrow.
I do something similar with my conure to wind down for the night. I give her a piece of yucca to chew and play quiet, calm music one hour before bed time. She climbs up on my stomach with her yucca block and chews it til she gets tired. Then comes to cuddle under my chin. Thats how I know she's ready for bed. :)
Can anybody tell me what this means? We have been trying to be calm and give her treats, and play with her, but she still seems super scared!!: Ok, so I have an around a 6 month old Sun Conure. My other bird, pineapple who is a green cheek gets along very great with her. They preen, play, sleep together. (I don’t keep them in the same cage though, only on occasion. When we first got her, she wouldn’t even get out of the cage and was silent. She would eat small things, but not drink and bathe (intact the only time we have caught her bathing was like, 5 weeks ago.) Now, the SC is doing better, but he’s reliant on the GCC. He never lets anybody pet him/preen him unless it’s the GCC, and actively avoids it (like tilting his head and backing away) And he gets out of the cage now, but it takes 10 second runaround before he decides if he wants to step up or not. And also, whenever the GCC isn’t near him, he’ll fly to him or if he’s out of sight he’ll start SCREAMING! Can somebody please tell me what this means, I’m worried we aren’t being good enough bird parents :(
I can't imagine doing that with my relatively young Blue Fronted Amazon who is 8 months. He poops every 10 minutes.. Wondering if there is an issue at end that I have to look in to
How can I know if it's stress or my tiel simply screaming because she wants to make noise? Is it normal for her to scream so much when I'm leaving or not paying complete attention to her? It's not chirping, just constant high pitch screams.
most female cockatiels dont normally chirp or sing a lot like males do (not impossible, just unlikely), and if it's actual screaming, that's their contact call that they would normally use for their flock, so yeah they are screaming for attention whenever you leave
Please help my Jenday Conure will not do any training it bites my hand if I try and talk on my phone, it goes absolutely crazy if I use the clicker when it does a behavior I like it tries and bite the hand with the clicker. It screams when I try and talk to someone it runs after people to bite them if they come near me. It hates its cage. I have ordered your pellets pellets and small box of bird toys that is all I can afford for now. Please please please help
one of my ring neck just very skittish wont let me near him always scared he is a rescue bird and had his wings badly clipped how can i assure him he is safe with us help i have tried everything but he wont badge
I've had my kakariki for just over 4 months now, I've noticed that he is becoming aggressive towards my hand and on some occasions he has bitten me. one day he will do great with step up training however the next he seems like his scared of my hand. I don't really know what to do I've tried researching the issues I've been having but so far nothing has helped. Could this been a result of him spending too much time in his cage or a hormonal thing? any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Hi, I love your videos and I'm getting a green cheek conure but the prices are really high so is there someplace where you could get one for 300 or 200 if there is that would really help also can you do a video on green cheek conure care.
I mean this in the nicest way possible, OK? If you can't afford the bird, what will happen when you need to bring the bird to the vet, which will easily be $200? And a good cage is another hundred, at least. Add fresh fruit and veggies, ridiculously expensive pellets, and a bunch of toys, and that 2 to 3 hundred you wanted to spend will have been a drop in the bucket. Just saying.
Hey you are awesome anyway I am Bob in Connecticut I was the bartender I gave up working years ago. My last girlfriend made movies she passed away and she gave me her cockatiel I also have two more cockatiels. One of them is very rare she is albino her name is Harley Quinn. I have two small Parrots. One is the green cheek conure his name is Spidey and he says hi baby because that’s what I call him he is my best friend he sleeps on the top shelf of the medicine cabinet in the bathroom when he gets tired. He is better than any cat or a dog I ever had. I also have a sun conure her name is storm. I live in a studio apartment I have two cages but I don’t believe in caging my birds I let them do whatever the hell they want they are the boss not me.🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
I am going away four 3 days and don’t have a bird sitter bird is very attached to me no 1 else what’s your opinion leaving the bird in the cage four 3 days bird is not used to just sitting in cage he is out 4 at least half of day I guess fill is food double and plenty of water he should be ok ????????
you need to meet your neighbours so you can get them to help out in situations like this, feeding & checking on him in his own environment. Maybe get friends to do it for you this time
My rescue bfa and galah who I have worked so hard on the last several years while living in a house have both started to be extremely loud and needy again now that I moved out of my ex’s house into an apartment . They’re so noisy I’m on edge all the time and have to yell and do things like spray with water which I know only makes the issue worse but I can’t chance letting them scream for hours to “work it out” and get them back where they were before because I’ve already gotten several noise complaints . It’s the worst! The amazon literally screams for attention when I’m five feet from him in the kitchen! I have to wheel his gym Into the bathroom just to get a Darn “quiet” bath. It’s so frustrating . All that work ruined now because of unforeseen breakup circumstances :( I literally don’t know what to do bc everything I’ve tried isn’t working now in this new environment. It’s already been four months there and they won’t improve. They were even fine when we moved temporarily in with my parents before I got my lease. Something about a house environment they seem to like better
Been watching tons of Caique videos & it appears far too many owners are clueless about CALM. Because these birds so easily get hormonal & CRAZY CUTE, ppl encourage the birds’ antics like screaming, jumping around (so adorable) & running all over the place, the birds NEVER CALM DOWN. Seems like too many owners pet the birds’ backs & abdomens too. Then they give them toys like paper to shred, encouraging NESTING. I know this video is 2+ years old but Bird tricks should do an entire series on CALMING CAIQUES!
I'm curious, how do you quarantine project birds, especially when they spend so much time in your house and on the playtrees that your personal birds use?
Ok this was so weird! My African grey went crazy shaking his head and trying to get away once the music started while my Senegal’s just chilled down and didn’t even look up. 🤔
Well, what do you say to that? How nice to hear and watch. Another wonderful learning tool for all the birds and bird parents out there. I wasn’t sure what was happening when Capri was touching Widget. Did Widget not like that? I just couldn’t tell. Thank you, this was beautiful.❤️NJ❤️
Widget was not receptive to Capri there, I tried to help with that but Widget said no and that is why Capri quit trying. Capri was disappointed but understands the permission based training methods we use with all birds. :)
I got your BT Toys for my parakeets this week! They are such high quality, was shipped super fast, and looks all natural. I'm so impressed!! Once I get my pionus (have been on a waiting list FOREVER it feels), i'll get the big bird box! Thank you for making these awesome toys!! 👑💚💙💜💛🧡👑
Very informing video! I would just like to inform people that here in the Philippines, breeders sell 2-week old baby birds for us customers to handfeed, regardless if we are amateur or experts and I think that's worrisome 🙁 I've always hoped for a breeder who handfeeds birds and sells them only when they are weaned for the sake of us customers and, of course, the baby bird 🙁
Thank you for these tutorials and insights. I would truly love to adopt one of these beautiful creatures but, realistically and unfortunately, my lifestyle makes this an unfair and impracticable decision to make. Watching your interactions and learning is a treat but also a double-edged sword at times. Maybe one day.
Widget is so cute!... It was cool how you were able to go about your business & she just sat there & preened/relaxed/etc. with you & let you occasionally pet her, as well. She must be rather relaxed/calm when she's out of her cage & actually with somebody.
Wow these videos always come at the perfect time. As my budgie and I have been bonding, she gets very bored and loud when I’m not in the room with her. I’ll definitely start playing these videos for her!
My Amazon would have shredded that book into confetti in a matter of minutes and then run up my body to bite me in the face. She has been in the family for about 21 years, the last 14 years with me. We are obviously still a work in progress!

Tips for others struggling with this watch the BirdTricks vid on diet converting small birds and if your bird is still just picking out the seeds then try to use finely ground nuts instead much harder for them to pick through
That's a huge achievement! Budgies are some of the hardest birds to diet convert.

Thank you, Jamie. I use this music many times now to calm my ringneck. You are the best
I don't have a bird or ever expect to have one, but I had to watch this video as soon as i saw it.
Same here!

Holy guacamole! you’ve really taken on a whole flock there
You’ll need this series lol
#secretly jealous
Love the book nibble in the beginning. I’m also super impressed she didn’t poop on you the whole time! My little one definitely would!
My Quaker bites on my books and clothes when near me. He wants full attention all the time, except when watching tv. But thanks to your channel we have made progress in other areas. 😊
That little girl is so good with birds. Lovely child.
worked on me too)) 6 minutes in the video and i am already very relaxed)
Thanks for the bit of peace ❤
Oh Widget ,can I bring you home already❤ so sweet!
Nice color door frames. This bird looks so comfortable on your knee. I cant believe I gaze at the bird the whole video. Calms me down.
Widget is just so adorable!!! And I love your hair color, Jamie!!
ADORABLE! ❤
congrats. a chilled Caique.
never seen that before. these things are normally running around at light speed. ha ha
You say that like it's a bad thing that caiques are high energy? That's one of the best things about them that makes them unique..
@@Marvel_vs_Capcom84 far from a bad thing. I love these little balls of energy.
My Moustached parrot has similar traits (just a bit calmer).

Been watching tons of Caique videos & it appears far too many owners are clueless about CALM. Because these birds so easily get hormonal & CRAZY CUTE, ppl encourage the birds’ antics like screaming, jumping around (so adorable) & running all over the place, the birds NEVER CALM DOWN.
Seems like too many owners pet the birds’ backs & abdomens too. Then they give them toys like paper to shred, encouraging NESTING.
I know this video is 2+ years old but Bird tricks should do an entire series on CALMING CAIQUES!
I'm guessing it's best not to do this with library books that you're stressed about being eaten?
Hi
Everytime when my birds are screaming, i always just say"shhhhhhh" from loud and slowly making my voice softer is it a good thing?
does it work?
@@mehere8038 for a while then i did again then the same thing
@@mehere8038 soooo kinda
I love this except my Indian ring neck poops so much ugh and I feel like she would bite at the book for attention 😂
Great! Now show me how to stop my caique from killing my husband.
how do I keep my bird from cats or rats
Can't stand Caique's
i used this on my bird and she fell asleep 10 minutes later! Lol.
I'm curious, how do you quarantine project birds, especially when they spend so much time in your house and on the playtrees that your personal birds use?
I wonder the same thing.
Ok this was so weird! My African grey went crazy shaking his head and trying to get away once the music started while my Senegal’s just chilled down and didn’t even look up. 🤔
I always wondered how you say the name of this breed of bird.
I tried to sound out 'Caique' & it worked.
It's like "Kai-Eek", so, it works for me...
Well, what do you say to that? How nice to hear and watch. Another wonderful learning tool for all the birds and bird parents out there. I wasn’t sure what was happening when Capri was touching Widget. Did Widget not like that? I just couldn’t tell.
Thank you, this was beautiful.❤️NJ❤️
Widget was not receptive to Capri there, I tried to help with that but Widget said no and that is why Capri quit trying. Capri was disappointed but understands the permission based training methods we use with all birds. :)
@@BirdTricks Thank you. Now I understand.❤️❤️😃👍🏻
Nevermind birds, this works great for people too!
I got your BT Toys for my parakeets this week! They are such high quality, was shipped super fast, and looks all natural. I'm so impressed!! Once I get my pionus (have been on a waiting list FOREVER it feels), i'll get the big bird box! Thank you for making these awesome toys!! 👑💚💙💜💛🧡👑
Thanks so much! Great for calming! Great video as always! ❤️ 💕
Where is the bird's poop? Is there a way to void poop on bed?
Very informing video! I would just like to inform people that here in the Philippines, breeders sell 2-week old baby birds for us customers to handfeed, regardless if we are amateur or experts and I think that's worrisome 🙁 I've always hoped for a breeder who handfeeds birds and sells them only when they are weaned for the sake of us customers and, of course, the baby bird 🙁
Much love from Sweden 🇸🇪❤️❤️❤️❤️
I just visited sweden! Amazing country and culture love the language too
ugh she is just too cute!
Thank you for these tutorials and insights. I would truly love to adopt one of these beautiful creatures but, realistically and unfortunately, my lifestyle makes this an unfair and impracticable decision to make. Watching your interactions and learning is a treat but also a double-edged sword at times. Maybe one day.
not sure what music you used in this video but my 4 budgies are softly talking and calm.
Jaime!!! Love the new hair color!!
I used this to calm my caique parrot(Kiko), and it works really well. Thanks.
Widget is so cute!...
It was cool how you were able to go about your business & she just sat there & preened/relaxed/etc. with you & let you occasionally pet her, as well.
She must be rather relaxed/calm when she's out of her cage & actually with somebody.
Voila! Zen Caique! Great tip. Thank you!
Ty so so much we just adopted caique from friends moving and couldn’t take him with them
Wow these videos always come at the perfect time. As my budgie and I have been bonding, she gets very bored and loud when I’m not in the room with her. I’ll definitely start playing these videos for her!
I wish macaws had voices like budgies. My macaw screams for 3-4 minutes per day and it is so damn LOUD!
My caiques like to scream when we put a movie on they think it’s a contest to see who is louder
👍👍💕💕💕💕😊😊😍😍
Hi
Yayyy Widget's video 😍
I'm waiting for word on my baby caique so I can go start bonding with it. If this isn't an excuse to start meditating, I dunno what is.
Namaste ;)
