OMG, guys! I finally did it! This was all a CRAZY experience! My heart was pounding the whole time! Do guys think I did the right thing? What next? 🦜🦜🦜
Everything went so well! I'm so happy for you and the birds to see how keyed in you were to what was going on with them and careful and calm in your reactions, which gave them a really positive first experience! You are right that all 3 showed pretty much all the things you would want to see for a first time out. They all came in and out on their own, and even though they were a little nervous they were mostly controlled. When they did fly and end up on the floor, they didn't panic, and all 3 got to interact with the windows without crashing. You did such a great job and you have been so thoughtful and sensitive in their care, they are really in good hands ♥️
honestly seeing the birds explore so carefully and thoughtfully was even more entertaining than if they just instantly flew off. and wow your house is really becoming a home
You're a patient and compassionate bird dad. Maybe prop a small branch next to their cage door to make getting around to the outside easier for them. Aviary and birds are awesome!
You should actually get the windows etched with that design. Like RJ said, it looks really good! I used window film (in a design like what they have on bathroom windows) on my bedroom windows to keep my very adventurous and stubborn green cheek conure from flying into the glass. It worked ... kind of. He still walked up to the window and knocked his beak against it. Silly bird! 😆
I agree with the stages of release that you are doing. Every learning experience should be done in baby steps. You should also wait on the Conures. Great video!
I really enjoy watching your birds! I think you should add like a perch in front of their cage door (like a T stand perch) to allow them to explore and also go home to their cage easier. I own a couple of parrots and its important for them to have plenty of accessible places to perch and to allow them to look at their surroundings from different points of view. I also think that you should introduce them to a certain sound like a whistle or a word as a signal for their meal. This is really helpful to recall them especially if they are up high out in the aviary and you want to make them come down or eat.
Such an exciting day! It went so well. 😁 I think you should let the blue-naped parrots get a little more comfortable with being outside the cage before letting the conures out. The priority IMHO should be to give them more perches - it makes sense that they will be more comfortable at being out if they know it is easy to get back inside. Can you believe it - it’s really happening at last! 😍🥰
@Mikey Bustos Vlogs - *HOW EXCITING! Mikey, cou could have opened one of the feeding stations, I noticed your cages have 2 on either side. It can serve as a perch for them to get in and out apart from the main cage doors which is actually harder for them unless they develop their confidence to FLY IN or OUT. Leaving one feeding station open also gives them easier access to the food or drink. Once they're done, they can easily just go out again and explore. It would also be easier to catch them that way since food will be their motivation to go back in.*
This is easily the most epic vlog in quite a while (I hope things went well in Cebu, but I will say it's great to have ya'll back)!! Simply fantastic!!! I've never been a "bird person," but I'm riveted to this experience. I am so impressed at how this interaction went; it seems like a huge success. I think there are great lessons here; I love that you're so sensitive to the birds and their "feelings"; it just feels that you're making all the right decisions. I believe that, especially when two of them are stepping up to your fingers and the one actually flew to your wrist; wow! I have to think that these particular sessions with you are very formative for them. This whole thing was incredible! It does seem that the Conures are very anxious to get out and, I think, have your attention too. When you were drawing on the windows with soap, I was a bit "triggered," LOL. As a kid, I drew pictures with soap on the windows in our house; I got spanked and had to wash it all off... it wasn't quite as simple as you'd think (at least not for an eight-year-old). More great design choices with the light in the foyer; it's like an appetizer light before the main course of the chandelier in the living room (BTW, I'm super excited to see what that one is going to be). Hi RJ!! I think there's something to your comment... "The Apple and the Ant"... LOL, my mind is racing with that ;). What an epic day today, we've reached such a huge milestone and have realized the manifestation of a long-time dream. I'm confident tomorrow is going to be just as epic, and I can't wait to see that unfold! I'm very happy for ya'll! Stay safe, and I'll see 'ya next time!
The soap on the windows was such a good idea. I have Feather Friendly window markers on my windows for my parrot. I'd be cautious about having the conures and the blue-naped parrots out together, as bigger beaks can cause bad injuries to smaller birds.
Oooh! So happy for you! I’m not a bird person but even I can tell how well that went! I was expecting you to end the vlog worried, and unable to get them back in the cage. Or like one parrot freaking out and hiding in a corner. That’s so great! I’d keep working with the parrots for now, but like I said I’m not a bird person! Congratulations Mikey and RJ! Congratulations birds!
I was so sick this morning that I went back to bed. I saw your post and decided to watch. OMGoodness, Mikey!! I have laughed and cried and smiled and feel so much better! Thank you so much! Wonderful day! Congrats!
Mikey, you are such a loving, caring, and considerate bird dad!!!! I love watching your thought process. This was an epic vlog!!!! And listening to you try NOT to yell with glee, was the best ever. LOL. Your precious birds are living their best lives. Thank you for sharing with us!
This is so fascinating! I also squeeled and cheered for them when they got the hang of things 😂 I'm also hoping that they'll voluntarily perch on your arm one day... This vlog made my day really! Can't wait for the dragons to flyyyyy
You should add like a landing pad outside the cage door so they can walk out easier and take off to fly plus when they are flying around they have a bigger target since there's 3 of them idk if a perch would be enough especially while they are still learning how to fly.
I believe you made the right choice to let the green ones go first They I believe need probably a week on their own in the aviary The black ones are ready to fly around But they might bring anxiety to the green ones The green ones would have probably end up staying in a cage with open doors
Mikey, you did amazing! Yes one step at a time. Definitely put many more perches leading out of cage and I luv your idea of a ramp. I believe they require all of their feathers, especially tail feathers to fly. It is a learning process for them. They definitely appear to view the cage as their home and secure place and seem to be curious and want to explore! You were so right in target training immediately. Yay for experienced squad member Renee! And yay for you being open and receptive to the advice! The birds condition is looking so much better! And I don’t know if you noticed but when you began singing softly, they were watching you sooo intently! I think if you incorporate it into your training it will become another way of bonding with them. Maybe each bird can have their own song 🎵! I know, I’m rambling lol! I am just so excited! This went so well!!! YAY 😃 ❤. Luv ya guys! See ya on the next video! Frances
So happy to see some of the birds free. I never thought that they'd take that slow to explore. The kindness and patience you give to them is awesome and great! may they live a happy and healthy life.
You were right in thinking that plants drop their leaves when moved from their old environment to a new environment. You should not have anything to worry about. I was excited to see the blue napped parrots move to the outside. You should still work with the blue-napped a few more days to move in and out of the cage. When they look more used to moving in and out then you can consider trying it with the other parrots. Awesome vlog.
Offer a nut when asking them to step up. Make the decision for them to interact with you positive and rewarding, just like the touch training. Also, if they're young they may not know how to fly, beyond what their instincts tell them. The coordination may have to be learned. Ascending, descending, and landing are all difficult things to learn. Also, if one has tampered feathers maybe it's self destructive behaviors or a nutrient deficiency? I'd recommend perches that are clear line of sight from the cage, so they can try flying in a straight line without any obstacles first. Especially for the one that may have damaged primary feathers.
They are just babies. We dont let our children free roam at first either. Take it slow and let them grow in their confidence. Im so proud of them. I have a feeling the red squad will go nuts also. They are son confidence and self assured. They are also better flyers right now. This was great.
I've been enjoying watching the process with this aviary. I love seeing them use their curious minds and figure things out. One of my favorite things when I used to have birds- both passed away due to old age. I might get birds again... Maybe grab your laptop and coffee and just hang out in the aviary for a few hours while the cage door is open and as they slowly explore so they are used to you just chilling in there near them. Slow and steady. I think letting these guys get more comfortable before letting the others out is the way to go. I love this so much! Your aviary is so amazing!
The soap drawings actually gives a different dimension to the glass love that too, love the MIKEY MAN MADE JUNGLE HAVEN that you provided for the birds, HASAAAAAH, thank you for SHARING, calms me a lot watching that all the way from MANHATTAN NEW YORK,you should KEEP IT DEFINITELY, it became like part of glass DESIGN
Welcome back once again Mikey! Ah yeah, feels good that while these birds haven't flown immediately after you opened the cage, they have done a good job in your training outside the cage, but I'm definitely confident that they'll love the life in their aviary TBH! And soon, one day, we'll see them fly freely in the beautiful aviary, and your dreams of seeing your birds flying in your own aviary will be real (hopefully without bumping or destroying obstacles), and experience more sunshine!
Hi Mikey, I like your house. I love nature like you do. I enjoyed watching your parrots learning how to come out of the cage. Congrats on your success. I've known you since Canadian Idol. In fact, I lived near your apartment. Actually I met you one time at Dundas Square in downtown Toronto. Look like you finally decided to live in the Philippines. Enjoy your birds and your beautiful house. I'm happy to see you became so successful. Keep it up and God bless. 🙏❤️🇵🇭🇨🇦
Soooo Amazing to see them perch on u🤯😁... I think slow n steady is definitely best way to do it, I think it'll give them n u the utmost confidence. Yay I think it was great success 🙌 👏👏😉💞
I think you need to review the target training from Bird Tricks. You shouldn’t move the stick once you put it into their space. They can get frustrated because you are giving confusing signals. Definitely put more perches down low so they can get in and out easier. Maybe get a stand to have outside the cage so they can fly from the cage to the stand. Can’t wait to see all the birds out!
The big difference between your birds and those in a zoo aviary is their birds are raised more naturally or brought in from the wild or another zoo. They would have fledged as babies. That would have strengthened their flight muscles and so yeah zoo birds might fly to the top. Yours aren't likely to do that unless scared and would be less able to come down. The 1 year old's feathers should grow in. It will just take some time. They missed fledging so it take some time for them to gain confidence with flying. I think you should keep working with the blue napped parrots at least a few days so they can both gain confidence and strengthen their flight muscles. I think it is smart to monitor them as they are learning this. Since they didn't fledge properly they are likely to fall and you being there may make it less scary for them. I see no harm in the conures waiting until the blues are more confident. Then THEY will get their own attention. Yes they are more active... but they too did not get to fledge and will need to strengthen their chest and wing muscles.
LOVE how calm you remained, you did such a great job... with everything. So excited also that you connected with Rene R. She's an AMAZING wealth of bird knowledge, and always so helpful! 💗💛💙
YAY!!! They made it. woo 🤗🤗.. I feel like the conures will be flying around a lot sooner than the blue napes -- but they did such a great job - and so did you! They'll all get more confident. I feel like more perches around the aviary and on the outside of the cage would be really helpful until they're fully fledged? - Ate Elsie's hair looks so cute!
Wow, this was a good video; I loved watching the birds leave their cage for the first time, and Mikey, you are so good with birds; you got this. I am blown away how well you handled the bird's first venture out, when she went behind the cage on the floor. I agree with you to monitor the parrots awhile.
OMG Mikey, My eyes were glued on my phone's screen watching every move and shout hurraaaay! when the male bird finally got out. This is an exciting and feeling nervous as well. But yeah, you did a greay job. Try it again tomorrow, hopefully there'll be more developments. I also love the designs on the.glass window, too :>
Hi Mikey! I love how you did the soap drawings on the glass doors of the aviary!! They looked like glass etching which a specialist glass maker could do. I remember i had the last supper etched in one of the mirrors in my house way back. Maybe this is a more permanent solution to your problem. Btw, i love the parrots!!! They’re so smart!! ❤
Excellent that you’re trying to teach them to step up, very important for them to do that and realise you are also a safe space. Will keep them friendly too! ❤️
HUGE FAN😍😍 IMO You should just release the conures. (not sure if I spelled it right) You built the aviary for them so let those babies enjoy it!! I’m sure food will bring them back down!
They are precious birds i love it enjoy Mikey and happy your are s success in your life i remembering that when you go somewhere the mang huhulasaid you gonna be rich someday now it happened congratulations for your successful Mikey im happy for you god always bless you and keep you safe with RJI keep watching but I’m not committed only this time like I’m so happy for and with your beautiful creatures bless you more 🙏👏🥰👍🍀
I recommend making a little shelf that hangs just outside the door to their cages for them to step and land on easily. So happy to see them acclimating to their new home :)
I think the tree will be alright. It's probably transplantation shock, which happens quite easily to plants. They don't move from place to place in nature, so... Also, it really looked like having to regrow a lot of roots first. (Plants in general, and more so trees try to balance their water uptake through roots with their water loss through the leaves, so fewer root, especially root tips mean fewer leaves)
OMG! i can feel your excitement , seeing the birds explore was so fun and i am learning too, you are so calm in teaching them. I am a new subscriber and i can"t stop watching ... i am hooked up Mikey.
Crimson bellies will nail it once set them free. Blue nape are too weak yet. It will take them sometime to learn it. Thanks me later. Free the crimson bellies too since you have big aviary and lot of plants and your birds are just 6. So it will not be a problem.
Agreed, easy does it. Wonder if these birds have ever perched on trees or have developed wing strength to fly more than a few feet. Maybe perch stands and vines near and on the cage would help. Good luck!
Hi just a thought maybe better to take out those cages and just have a canopy, they can hurt themselves under behind the cage and those glass I told to my husband maybe a grill with designed will help so that they don't bump into it. Just so cute those birds and you really love them. Good luck and GOD BLESS
OMG, guys! I finally did it! This was all a CRAZY experience! My heart was pounding the whole time! Do guys think I did the right thing? What next? 🦜🦜🦜
Wow we have same bird... And i just want to add more bird like sun conure
👍🏻you did great, let the blues adjust 1-2 more days befor ruby,rojo and scarlet have a go
Bravo
You are so patient and you did great!
Females are ALWAYS so much smarter!!!🤪

I will watch your vlogs regardless how long it is! I really enjoy watching your pets 😊
Thank you! 🙏❤️🦜
Same @Keith. I just love them so. Such great people.
OMG!!! from just a vision of having that giant aviary into reality with birds
You're a patient and compassionate bird dad. Maybe prop a small branch next to their cage door to make getting around to the outside easier for them.
Aviary and birds are awesome!

This is the best VLOG movie ever dahhhling! 😁
I agree with the stages of release that you are doing. Every learning experience should be done in baby steps. You should also wait on the Conures. Great video!
The soap doesnt look ugly at all. Imo it breaks up a otherwise very plain surface and gives it much needed texture.
I really enjoy watching your birds! I think you should add like a perch in front of their cage door (like a T stand perch) to allow them to explore and also go home to their cage easier. I own a couple of parrots and its important for them to have plenty of accessible places to perch and to allow them to look at their surroundings from different points of view.

That Aviary is a vast jungle full of happiness for the birds :)
mikey, the soap drawings are great!!! but, it's Christmas time where you live so why not Christmas decor drawings next?
That's an epic idea!!
wow! im so happy to see the birds look so happy!!! yey🎉❤

Me again... lol! That was great! First I had a heart attack... then I cried... then I cheered!!!! 😁😆😅
I was amazed by your patience. Hope you have kids someday. So sure you'll be a great parent
The soap drawings actually gives a different dimension to the glass love that too, love the MIKEY MAN MADE JUNGLE HAVEN that you provided for the birds, HASAAAAAH, thank you for SHARING, calms me a lot watching that all the way from MANHATTAN NEW YORK,you should KEEP IT DEFINITELY, it became like part of glass DESIGN
Progress. Baby steps. Keep it up. Repeat..Repeat and Repeat some more. Congrats !!!😎😎😎😎

You are such a good dad. Love your set up and would love to see more of everything.
Been looking forward to this day since last week!!! Lol
I am having lemongrass tea and jittery and jumping with joy the babies are finally out in their new hotel
Hi Mikey, I like your house. I love nature like you do. I enjoyed watching your parrots learning how to come out of the cage. Congrats on your success. I've known you since Canadian Idol. In fact, I lived near your apartment. Actually I met you one time at Dundas Square in downtown Toronto. Look like you finally decided to live in the Philippines. Enjoy your birds and your beautiful house. I'm happy to see you became so successful. Keep it up and God bless. 🙏❤️🇵🇭🇨🇦
Thank you for our regular dose of good vibes. 🥰
Your soap designs are beautiful! The silvery color shines like concentrated dust motes in the light 🤩🥰
The soap actually looks really pretty! Like it was made with some fancy frost design or something.
Soooo Amazing to see them perch on u🤯😁... I think slow n steady is definitely best way to do it, I think it'll give them n u the utmost confidence. Yay I think it was great success 🙌 👏👏😉💞
Seriously didn't know this vlog existed until today. I've been waiting for house updates over on AntsCanada 😂💀
I instantly subscribed to this vlog.
Yay! Thanks for subscribing and welcome to the channel! ❤️🙏
I think you need to review the target training from Bird Tricks. You shouldn’t move the stick once you put it into their space. They can get frustrated because you are giving confusing signals. Definitely put more perches down low so they can get in and out easier. Maybe get a stand to have outside the cage so they can fly from the cage to the stand. Can’t wait to see all the birds out!
The birds are so beautiful and smart. Yay freedom. The little birds might spook the larger birds whilst they're still getting use to being out.
The big difference between your birds and those in a zoo aviary is their birds are raised more naturally or brought in from the wild or another zoo. They would have fledged as babies. That would have strengthened their flight muscles and so yeah zoo birds might fly to the top. Yours aren't likely to do that unless scared and would be less able to come down.

Yes they are more active... but they too did not get to fledge and will need to strengthen their chest and wing muscles.
LOVE how calm you remained, you did such a great job... with everything. So excited also that you connected with Rene R. She's an AMAZING wealth of bird knowledge, and always so helpful! 💗💛💙
What an awesome day! Positive vibes from birds and humans!!!
YAY!!! They made it. woo 🤗🤗.. I feel like the conures will be flying around a lot sooner than the blue napes -- but they did such a great job - and so did you! They'll all get more confident. I feel like more perches around the aviary and on the outside of the cage would be really helpful until they're fully fledged? - Ate Elsie's hair looks so cute!
Awesome 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁 #MabuhaySquad
i've never been this fascinated with birds until i watched this vlog 🤩
Yass!! You were born with wings, birds.... fly!! 😀 Love the looong vlogs by the way, Mikey! Thank you for always being an inspiration to us!❤️
The aviary glass looks it has an "etched in" design ! Cool!
The moment we’ve been waiting for, see them enjoy the aviary😊
Wow, this was a good video; I loved watching the birds leave their cage for the first time, and Mikey, you are so good with birds; you got this. I am blown away how well you handled the bird's first venture out, when she went behind the cage on the floor. I agree with you to monitor the parrots awhile.
I had slept well last night. I hope you did too.
I remember Ligaya when you were saying step up to them.
Im so happy for the birdies to finally start to enjoynur aviary Mikey and Rj ...
I like your soap doodles!🥰 From watching more recent vlogs, it turned out beautifully!❤️
What a Awesome day! Keep working with the blue nape parrots. I feel they need confidence building doing it every day is what will build that.
I definitely was so happy to see them come out! I would work with the Blues a few more days before letting out the Reds.
OMG Mikey, My eyes were glued on my phone's screen watching every move and shout hurraaaay! when the male bird finally got out.
This is an exciting and feeling nervous as well. But yeah, you did a greay job. Try it again tomorrow, hopefully there'll be more developments. I also love the designs on the.glass window, too :>
I enjoyed and learn by watching you interact with your birds. Cant wait for the next episode.
That was so interesting. Can't wait until the feel completely comfortable !
Hi Mikey! I love how you did the soap drawings on the glass doors of the aviary!! They looked like glass etching which a specialist glass maker could do. I remember i had the last supper etched in one of the mirrors in my house way back. Maybe this is a more permanent solution to your problem. Btw, i love the parrots!!! They’re so smart!! ❤
Looking forward for your daily positive vibes passages🥰 you are an inspiration
Excellent that you’re trying to teach them to step up, very important for them to do that and realise you are also a safe space. Will keep them friendly too! ❤️
HUGE FAN😍😍 IMO You should just release the conures. (not sure if I spelled it right) You built the aviary for them so let those babies enjoy it!! I’m sure food will bring them back down!
Im tickled pink about your patient with the Beautilful Birds Thank's from New Zealand
Good lord!!!! I've been waiting anxiously for this...YAY!!!!!
Congrats kuya. Wish ligaya is still here to see and interact with them.
What a monumental event. So exciting to see your dream (and secretly mine) come true. Congrats to you @mikeybustosvlogs and @appleboyrj !!

So relaxing watching this! Now I want birds!!!
It was very fun watching today's vlog. Bird lover here!!!
yeheyyy! Finally they are out on their new bigger home.
So happy your not rushing the birds. Birds can be traumatized if they’re rushed! Yes, let the Conyers explore. Great job Mikey.
What a great day!! I loved the longer vid, so thank you so much for that. I can't wait till tomorrow LoL ❣
Mikey, your love, dedication and patience is just amazing!
wow the aviary looks amazing!! I feel like anti-bird collision window tape would work the best in this situation. Love the vlogs!!
The soap looks really good acutally! Nice art design mikey :)
They are precious birds i love it enjoy Mikey and happy your are s success in your life i remembering that when you go somewhere the mang huhulasaid you gonna be rich someday now it happened congratulations for your successful Mikey im happy for you god always bless you and keep you safe with RJI keep watching but I’m not committed only this time like I’m so happy for and with your beautiful creatures bless you more 🙏👏🥰👍🍀
I recommend making a little shelf that hangs just outside the door to their cages for them to step and land on easily. So happy to see them acclimating to their new home :)
That was so exciting, my face was like😯😃😍 can't wait to see what they dare to do on the 2nd try! Flap those wings dragons!
I think the tree will be alright. It's probably transplantation shock, which happens quite easily to plants. They don't move from place to place in nature, so... Also, it really looked like having to regrow a lot of roots first. (Plants in general, and more so trees try to balance their water uptake through roots with their water loss through the leaves, so fewer root, especially root tips mean fewer leaves)
The glass looks pretty good, you need a little bench in there so you can interact with them.
OMG! i can feel your excitement , seeing the birds explore was so fun and i am learning too, you are so calm in teaching them. I am a new subscriber and i can"t stop watching ... i am hooked up Mikey.
it was exciting to watch the birds tiptoe i into the bigger world!
Crimson bellies will nail it once set them free. Blue nape are too weak yet. It will take them sometime to learn it. Thanks me later. Free the crimson bellies too since you have big aviary and lot of plants and your birds are just 6. So it will not be a problem.
Agreed, easy does it. Wonder if these birds have ever perched on trees or have developed wing strength to fly more than a few feet. Maybe perch stands and vines near and on the cage would help. Good luck!
Oh man, this vlog was amazing, I absolutely LOVE the longer ones lol. Gives me something to watch for a while and enjoy.
Congratulation on 250K subscribers 👍🏿😷👍🏻🇨🇦🇵🇭🇺🇲
i always wait for another day vlog, I'm so happy for you and your birds. i really love the house. 😍🥰
Hi just a thought maybe better to take out those cages and just have a canopy, they can hurt themselves under behind the cage and those glass I told to my husband maybe a grill with designed will help so that they don't bump into it. Just so cute those birds and you really love them. Good luck and GOD BLESS
🦜These are some super lucky and pampered parrots!
They are really living a birdie dream life! 🦜
Feel the freedom birds❤️🐦
Semi-freedom 😉
