+Bill Borden I've worked in an aviary for 8 years now, those birds are defiantly frightened and by the sheer size of them they appear to be starved to preform, their feathers are so badly damaged!
Training is good for an animals mental health as it keeps them sharp and gives them something to do however health comes first, if an animal is uncomfortable or in pain they should not perform
I don't even own birds (yet) and this clip brought tears to my eyes. These poor babies. I hope they are rescued from this horrible circus soon. Please report this video for animal abuse so it can be removed--I don't want people thinking this is what healthy and happy birds looks like.
When I read the comments about the birds I was like "Over reacting much" but then I truly looked at the birds. They looked horrible and tired. And its true that the handler guy doesn't want to touch them or anything. Compare this to zippos and theres a huge difference
I just came from watching Zippos Circus and the budgie show, and THAT was a good show... But THIS!? I dont even know where to begin.. Instead of turning this into an essay.. Im just gonna make some points - the macaws' feathers are all plucked and messy which is a clear sign of distress axiety and stress. - that green macaw looked SO TIRED during the tricks - i almost cried when the macaws were carrying eachother on the rings.... I could almost IMAGINE how painful that could be.. - The guy was barley interacting with the birds.. I mean touching them and talking to them. He carried them with rods, almost looking like he didnt want to touch them - the blue macaw and the cocatoo looked horrific, like they came out of a horror scene. And they were STILL brought out to act!?!?!?!? OK, thanks for listening to an old lady rant about burds
These beautiful birds are being torched and being used for money these birds can die from sadness i know this because I have a parrot and i cried when i watched this video :(
Theses bird's wings are clipped (the so called owner cut the flight feathers making it impossible for the birds to fly) they are NOT trained they are NOT doing tricks these birds have NO CHOICE and CANNOT STOP or get away they are SCARED and STRESSED and the reason they look the way they do is due to PLUCKING (It is when the bird Pulls his/her oun feathers out (from stress) it is considered SELF HARM) and that is why his only has them stand on sticks and not on his hand is because if they stood on on his hand they would bite out of FEAR.

There are good trained parrot acts -- this isn't one of them. The birds are obviously really stressed. Their feathers are disheveled, their reaction times are slow, and they're flapping a lot. On top of that, they're tense and looking around a lot; that flat-feathered, spread-winged posture in the macaws is a sign of stress and fear. If you want to support a trained-parrot act, watch Norman Barrett's videos (Zippo's Circus) -- his budgies are very well-cared for and happy. Don't support this.
I'm fine with the cockatoos plucking as pets because it is normal but this! IT'S INSANE!! THIS IS GONNA BE A PETITION COMMENT IF I GET 100,000 LIKES IN THIS COMMENT THEY ARE GONNA SHUT DOWN FOR SURE!!
I also noticed one of the large Mcaws has a curved beak and needs to be trimmed buy a veterinarian periodically can be expensive to have done. I wish the trainer well. Note, beak is currently in good shape at the time this video was taken.

one of the parrots had missing feathers which means that it is either a baby or it ripped out its feathers from being uncomfortable in the new environment (or something XP)
some birds will be plucked no matter what! it's not that they are abused! Do your research and you will see. Those birds would NOT perform if they weren't happy birds!
Haley Mendez your absolutely wrong, think about the lions and the lion tamers, they whip the big cats if they don't preform. And animals are also starved and bribed with food to preform. Bird pluck when under LOTS of stress or when kept in tiny cages (stress) do your research please.
Oh, I have. It is NEAR IMPOSSIBLE for most birds to recover from plucking. We aren't talking about other circus animals, we are talking about parrots. Birds mentally do not behave like other animals. They are several times smarter than the average animal!
Some of these are on a watch list for extinction. They don't have the metal ring on their feet that indicates that they are legal. Plus they're plucking their feathers from stress. It hurts seeing birds from your country in such conditions just so a handful of people can make coins.
2:13 look at those poor birds. The blue and gold macaw has plucked all his once beautiful feathers out and is clearly extremely stressed. The red macaw's tail feathers are also in awful condition and the fact that the ringmaster doesn't even handle them without a metal pole or other object makes it clear that these birds are terrified of humans.
Noticed the feathers of the the birds specially the blue one are in bad shape.. Poor birds.. They should be treated well. Felt sorry and sad for them...
OMG!, I´m terrified seeing these poor relatives of mine treated like that. One of the blue gold macaws has a lot of feathers missing, a sign of stress.
very ignorant. these birds wpuld never perform if they were even the least been neglected. it takes a lot of time, love, and patience to get them to do this. Alot of those birds were rescued and pluvkers. once a bird is a plucker, its almost impossible to get them to stop.
ha, I have NEVER abused any animal in my life. it makes me a troll because. I have opposite views as you do? So be it. You assume but have no hard proof. I have worked with large birds for over 15 years and have seen their behaviors and they do not work for food. Thew work for affection, yes, but not food or fear. Thats absolutely ignorant to assume they are like a normal circus animal. These birds would NOT perform out of fear or hunger, they would either refuse to be around any human, bite, or attempt to fly away. Those birds did not display any type of those behaviors. Plucking is in just some birds, they were likely neglected before, and we're adopted. Plucking is near impossible to work out of a bird. It can happen, but out of experience and research proves that it is highly unlikely to get a bird to stop plucking even with the highest of care. :)
Faceless profiles are always troublemakers that insist with opposing opinions, oftentime rude and crass. I think faceless profiles are run by pussies, cowards scared to show themself. Why don't you go find something you like, and comment positively instead of hiding yourself. These birds are being starved and they have to do tricks to get any food at all. I could care less what you think. On that note...be well and enjoy your day. Let people be...if you don't like what they say, too f'n bad. Suck it up like an adult. I wouldn't even doubt if your the Siegfried doing this show. Why would you want anyone to know you're starving them.
Youre the one highly offended by an opposing view lol if you want, I could upload my pic. Didnt ever feel a need for anyone to see my face, had no idea that validates what I say! Who knew!? Youre the one being extremely hateful and can't converse like an adult....

These birds are sure under stress and anxiety. Please rehabilitate them. Most Cockatoos live for almost 80 yrs and need a lot of care and affection throughout but also a lifelong partner for mating else they might become violent/pluck their ownself.
I have a parrot myself and i don`t think these are having fun in their work when it is going so fast and it is showing in their fether as some said already,but i hope to be wrong becaus this is intelligent birds that need love too
He might of rescued them and some of them are still growing in their feathers still or are a newer parrot that he saved and most of them look awesome like their feathers are all grown in so I just think he rescued them or they are losing feathers from the other birds pulling each other's feathers out because not all birds get along so that's what I think lol
I CAN'T disagree with these comments about these BEAUTIFUL birds. NO TREAT when each act is performed. & YES! some of their feathers look ( if you look closely) do look in a bit of a shabby state. This is caused by the bird being STRESSED out. I do hope the R.S.P.B was notified about the condition of these BEAUTIFUL birds. If ANY animal wants to do tricks it should do it on three. things. 1, because it loves doing it 2, it gets treated well.( small treats during the performance) & 3rd they should be well cared for when not performing ( resting). But, as far as I am aware of these circus's are very few & far between now. ( maybe 1or 2 or so left that might still use animals to entertain the public. & I have been backstage at a few of them were animals have been used in the acts. & the conditions was not as good as they could have been. I understand that it can be aquward for everyone as well as for any animals kept. But, it is no joke when you see what I have seen. Was not asked but, TOLD!!! NOT to do any filming. & was in the end escorted out. & yes they tried to get my camera or at least my data card. & in told them if they tried that it would be assault! I ended up leaving anyway. But, I can't remember what happened to the film footage. 😞. (Proberbly stolen. 😞😞😞😞 along with other gear I had at the time).
Ok. I was just watching zippos budgie circus they looked SOOOOOOOO and I mean SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much happier and healthier than these birds... they were even running up when it wasnt there turn... but with THESE birds... there feathers are plucked, they looked tired, scared, and they pri ably feel like there being forced to do these tricks.. that isnt good for these birds.. the bird trainer didnt even look like he was enjoying playing with the birds either. He didnt even realy want to touch them.. he was also being realy rough when he holed them. I mean did you see how fast and tough he was moving? I feel SO bad for those birds... those are NOT healthy birds... Zippos birds (the healthy birdies)- They looked so happy and playfull! They had all there feathers, no plucking, and they were all proofed up, cute, and happy! They were running up when it wasnt there turn, and they were having alot of fun!and they NEVER hesitated to get up on the man's finger. See the difference in them? I feel so bad for those parrots... I wish all bird circuses were like zippos... poor birds...
It saddens me so much to see the neglect those birds have been shown but it equally amazes me that some of them even after everything love the applause, especially the military macaw, stands there so proud
I agree. It is usually because parrots perform on their own time. In order to get them reliable for a crowd, their diet is aggressively managed. They are working for their food right now and are kept at a technically healthy but low weight. Like a falconer does to hunt his birds, only more aggressive. Many who train birds (myself included) will withhold some of the diet, meaning the parrot gets breakfast but it isn't all-you-can-eat. Then at dinner time, they are hungry and ready to work for their food. Since parrots are pretty much still wild animals, they absolutely THRIVE on foraging and learning for a meal. It's why they were built with problem solving minds... And I know at least with my bird that she will not eat her food much if it is in a bowl, but will work like crazy for it, pestering me all the time to train her more and more than her hour every night :) So is food management abuse? No. But if you combine management that is show aggressive with unhealthy treats like peanuts, I imagine your birds start to look like this. Happy? Probably happier than a caged up parrot. Healthy? Not so much.
Exactly. I love with nearly 20 parrots and the poor birds in this show doesn't look like they are in good conditions at all, they looked like they plucked their feather put of stress, unless the birds are rescues then the performer are mistreating his birds. also the show paced way too fast to be entertaining, Norman Barrett's show with his lovely budgies are so much better, his budgies all looked like they enjoy doing the tricks and you can see the bonds between Mr Barrett and his birds.
interesting points ,if anyone else trying to find out parrot training cd try Hopandar Amazing Parrot Helper (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my friend got cool results with it.
First 30 seconds was great. I was like cool, you managed to do that with trained parrots. Then...... I saw the first plucked cockatoo. I hate these people. People should totally abandon these shows so these cruel people don’t make money.
Same... Theses bird's wings are clipped (the so called owner cut the flight feathers making it impossible for the birds to fly) they are NOT trained they are NOT doing tricks these birds have NO CHOICE and CANNOT STOP or get away they are SCARED and STRESSED and the reason they look the way they do is due to PLUCKING (It is when the bird Pulls his/her oun feathers out (from stress) it is considered SELF HARM) and that is why his only has them stand on sticks and not on his hand is because if they stood on on his hand they would bite out of FEAR.
Seeing birds be used for purely entertainment within circuses and performing like this without no bond or connection saddens me. The "ringmaster" didn't touch or handle the birds one bit without that giant metal pole, not to mention the speed, the feather condition of these performing birds is atrocious, and I doubt they're rescues due to the training required for a show like this. Although the tricks were not worthy, the birds being in such poor condition takes away from this whole thing.
Raul Menendez I own a parrot. I know of their attention needs. This wasn't the good kind of enrichment, they all look damned miserable, regardless. They don't have a choice in this, they refuse I imagine they get taken out of the act and sold on somewhere. You cannot compare a parrot to a dog.
HerMajestyTheLlama --- Have u ever held a Maccaw before!??!..... If u had..u would understand "why" he uses that pole to transfer them from stand to the stage ... They are HEAVY and their nails PIERCE right througj your skin!!! It hurts!!! It does not mean that they are abused ! Trust me...if the birds are unhappy...they simply WOULDN"t Perform!! For them it's fun and it's a way to keep them entertained ! They don"t care about the aufience!
I have a blue and gold macaw and my experience with parrots are they want to please their mate (being us humans) but when they do tricks like this the need to be rewarded immediately after. I noticed some of these birds are pluckers and I also noticed that some of their feathers are rough. Now with the pluckers it is common for a parrot to pluck when having anxiety. This is especially common when you own more than one parrot. What happens is that parrot see their person handling another parrot causing them to feel left out and unwanted leading to behavior issues. The parrot with the beat up feathers look like they may not be placed in the proper caging. My macaw has a 6' tall by 5' wide by 4' beep cage although my cage is probably abnormally large I feel like parrot to should not be caged and should be free. My bird is only in his cage at night for bed time, but he is out all day outside and inside. He gets baths treats movies music toys conversations etc this man clearly does not do that with any of these parrot they are merely there to make him money. This makes me sick. Engage not Cage!!!!!

For all of you who want to do something about this, leave a comment, and a like. I know it seems like the opposite to do, but if it has enough likes, many more people could see the misery and suffering these poor, abused macaws are going through. They've plucked their soiled feathers, and they look so tired and painful. PLEASE, leave a comment and/or like to get this video noticed so something can be done!
Mankind's truest moral test, its fundamental morall test, which lies deeply buried from view, consists of its attitude to those who are at its mercy i.e. animals and in this respect mankind has suffered a fundamental debacle, so fundamental that ALL its debacles stem from it. Milan Wundera, Playwrigh, Poet.
aww.....the poor babies.......they look like they're in awful conditions. The macaws are missing fetters and have overgrown beaks and the cockatoo looks horrible. They also all seem exhausted and they're panting slightly when doing they're tricks.
Those poor birds... Obviously it seems he's trained them with the stick which could mean he's hit them with it, then again not sure. But they're also picking out their own feathers which means they're stressed out, sickly and possibly being abused to do this... Poor beebs...

these BEAUTIFUL birds are stressed!!! theyvare are plucking!! why cant people see this!! this is all for profit and the birds suffer,I hate to think what his training ways consists of!! :(
parrots are well trained but they need some grooming as they have shed their feathers so they need to go on a good and healthy diet plan at least for 6 months to get to their normal conditions. parrots look amazing when they are healthy and colorful.
They are being abused. The missing feathers and poor plumage is due to self mutilation caused by stress. These are not robots. They are highly intelligent animals in need of love and affection. This circus needs to be shut down and the owner arrested charged and put in prison for cruelty to animals. These parrots should be adopted by caring responsible people.
All of those birds have plucked their feathers. Either they are not taken care of properly or abused. They all have fear in their eyes. Shame this could have been a good video if the birds haven't been mistreated one way or another !
As someone who's been preforming with parrots for almost two decades, this sickens me. My birds are very laid back. And are introduced to new situations slowly. If they were comfortable and trained properly, he wouldn't need the sticks. These are very stressed birds.
I have 26 parrots they are in large cages in my living room. Some are rescue birds and are fed pellets, appropriate bird seed and human food. To do an act like this you have to love parrots. They may be hand raised from baby chicks. The act requires patience hitting the bird will turn that bird against you. These birds are fully flighted/feathered and are capable of flying If these birds felt mistreated there would not be and act to see. Yes these birds could be mistreated but I hope the trainer if he sees this will correct any bad practices that are harmful to these beautiful birds.Some of these birds appear to be 10 to fifteen years old, I really do hope these birds are being treated well.
Poor parrots! They are so frightened. The trainer use sticks as he is afraid of revenge.
They're not frightened. He loves the birds and they love him.
+Bill Borden they don't appear to be in good shape at all.
+Bill Borden I've worked in an aviary for 8 years now, those birds are defiantly frightened and by the sheer size of them they appear to be starved to preform, their feathers are so badly damaged!
yeah poor parrots well I have 3 parrots and 2 birds I couldn't even watch it
Your right all that training has depressed those birds that they have plucked themselves
this is unbeliveable the way they treat the birds
Training is good for an animals mental health as it keeps them sharp and gives them something to do however health comes first, if an animal is uncomfortable or in pain they should not perform
Fantastic flightful feathered birds!
Calling the attention of circus tv, please have a kind heart for the poor birds, they are so stressed out and all of them seems not happy..
ABSOLUTELY SICK. IM A PARROT OWNER AND IT TURNS MY STOMACH TO SEE THEM BEING MADE TO LOOK RIDICULOUS.

OK, thanks for listening to an old lady rant about burds
the moluccan cockatoo had plucked legs
I can't imagine how stressed they must be, with the audience and the blaring music...
I was thinking the same thing 🙁
I agree. it's obvious these poor birds are being abused. there should be a way to get these videos taken off of youtube.

If they weren't happy they would not even do it 😮 birds are smart and talented

peta is shitty for many reasons, but i agree
Not all, just look at that budgie guy.
His name was Rocco Zippos circus actually treats their budgies right, but this is terrible!
when birds are stressed out they pluck there feathers 🐦
This is the best show i have ever aenn
I hope this man gets arrested. These birds are pecking at themselves for a reason.

It can happen, but out of experience and research proves that it is highly unlikely to get a bird to stop plucking even with the highest of care. :)
Faceless profiles are always troublemakers that insist with opposing opinions, oftentime rude and crass. I think faceless profiles are run by pussies, cowards scared to show themself. Why don't you go find something you like, and comment positively instead of hiding yourself. These birds are being starved and they have to do tricks to get any food at all. I could care less what you think.
On that note...be well and enjoy your day. Let people be...if you don't like what they say, too f'n bad. Suck it up like an adult.
I wouldn't even doubt if your the Siegfried doing this show. Why would you want anyone to know you're starving them.
Youre the one highly offended by an opposing view lol if you want, I could upload my pic. Didnt ever feel a need for anyone to see my face, had no idea that validates what I say! Who knew!? Youre the one being extremely hateful and can't converse like an adult....
Rainbow Lightning Woman I agree!! they are stressed
lindisimo el show de las guacamayas hermosos ejemplares!
Theses bird's wings are clipped (the so called owner cut the flight feathers making it impossible for the birds to fly) they are NOT trained they are NOT doing tricks these birds have NO CHOICE and CANNOT STOP or get away they are SCARED and STRESSED and the reason they look the way they do is due to PLUCKING (It is when the bird Pulls his/her oun feathers out (from stress) it is considered SELF HARM) and that is why his only has them stand on sticks and not on his hand is because if they stood on on his hand they would bite out of FEAR.
They do have fear in their eyes and their feathered are plucked.We have a canary and I know what they do and how they act. And all birds do the same.
No, they don't. Read my reply to the first person. And canaries aren't parrots. Two different species of avian.
These birds are sure under stress and anxiety. Please rehabilitate them. Most Cockatoos live for almost 80 yrs and need a lot of care and affection throughout but also a lifelong partner for mating else they might become violent/pluck their ownself.

I have a parrot myself and i don`t think these are having fun in their work when it is going so fast and it is showing in their fether as some said already,but i hope to be wrong becaus this is intelligent birds that need love too
that cockatoo is a mess ;-;
Ever green the power of birds inttligence operating bring surrounded by human even human learn lession from birds what not
He might of rescued them and some of them are still growing in their feathers still or are a newer parrot that he saved and most of them look awesome like their feathers are all grown in so I just think he rescued them or they are losing feathers from the other birds pulling each other's feathers out because not all birds get along so that's what I think lol
They're obviously stressed.
Hartstone Gaming I͞ d͞i͞s͞a͞g͞r͞e͞e͞....
Some of these parrots look stressed out with 1 plucking its feathers away. Our entertainment is their torment.
EVERY ONE OF THESE BIRDS IS A PLUCKER!!! Poor babies, these people should be ashamed of themselves! I can't even watch this. I hate people.
I CAN'T disagree with these comments about these BEAUTIFUL birds. NO TREAT when each act is performed. & YES! some of their feathers look ( if you look closely) do look in a bit of a shabby state. This is caused by the bird being STRESSED out. I do hope the R.S.P.B was notified about the condition of these BEAUTIFUL birds. If ANY animal wants to do tricks it should do it on three. things. 1, because it loves doing it 2, it gets treated well.( small treats during the performance) & 3rd they should be well cared for when not performing ( resting). But, as far as I am aware of these circus's are very few & far between now. ( maybe 1or 2 or so left that might still use animals to entertain the public. & I have been backstage at a few of them were animals have been used in the acts. & the conditions was not as good as they could have been. I understand that it can be aquward for everyone as well as for any animals kept. But, it is no joke when you see what I have seen. Was not asked but, TOLD!!! NOT to do any filming. & was in the end escorted out. & yes they tried to get my camera or at least my data card. & in told them if they tried that it would be assault! I ended up leaving anyway. But, I can't remember what happened to the film footage. 😞. (Proberbly stolen. 😞😞😞😞 along with other gear I had at the time).
Ok. I was just watching zippos budgie circus they looked SOOOOOOOO and I mean SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much happier and healthier than these birds... they were even running up when it wasnt there turn... but with THESE birds... there feathers are plucked, they looked tired, scared, and they pri ably feel like there being forced to do these tricks.. that isnt good for these birds.. the bird trainer didnt even look like he was enjoying playing with the birds either. He didnt even realy want to touch them.. he was also being realy rough when he holed them. I mean did you see how fast and tough he was moving? I feel SO bad for those birds... those are NOT healthy birds...
Zippos birds (the healthy birdies)-
They looked so happy and playfull! They had all there feathers, no plucking, and they were all proofed up, cute, and happy! They were running up when it wasnt there turn, and they were having alot of fun!and they NEVER hesitated to get up on the man's finger.
See the difference in them? I feel so bad for those parrots... I wish all bird circuses were like zippos... poor birds...
Ll
It saddens me so much to see the neglect those birds have been shown but it equally amazes me that some of them even after everything love the applause, especially the military macaw, stands there so proud
It makes me sad to see birds from my country like this. I also noticed that none of them have those registration rings on their feet

I LOVE ANY TYPE OF BIRDS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
oh my god very beautiful circus
they look like their being neglected and i hate how this guy has not once touched the parrots and he is going way to fast handeling them
and I agree it dose stress the birds also the birds feathers are prior to them because they are less likely to get some common diseases
Poor things, this is their life, I have a parrot but I take him outside and play with him and take him Baths
My friend has a parrot and it loves doing daft stuff like this.
I like parrots 😊😊😊
the cockatoo is all messed up.
Yeah, the birds aren't in great shape, and the people don't seem to be enjoying their time either!
The birds look so tired and they've been plucking there feathers :c
THE BIRD ON TOP OF THE BIG WHEEL WITH THE RED BIRD HOLDING ON TO THE THINGS HAS LOST HALF OF ITS FEATHERS ON ITS CHEAST
I love parrots and parrot shows but I can't help but notice that some of these bird's feathers are in poor condition.
I agree. It is usually because parrots perform on their own time. In order to get them reliable for a crowd, their diet is aggressively managed. They are working for their food right now and are kept at a technically healthy but low weight. Like a falconer does to hunt his birds, only more aggressive.
Many who train birds (myself included) will withhold some of the diet, meaning the parrot gets breakfast but it isn't all-you-can-eat. Then at dinner time, they are hungry and ready to work for their food. Since parrots are pretty much still wild animals, they absolutely THRIVE on foraging and learning for a meal. It's why they were built with problem solving minds... And I know at least with my bird that she will not eat her food much if it is in a bowl, but will work like crazy for it, pestering me all the time to train her more and more than her hour every night :)
So is food management abuse? No. But if you combine management that is show aggressive with unhealthy treats like peanuts, I imagine your birds start to look like this. Happy? Probably happier than a caged up parrot. Healthy? Not so much.
I Totally Agree They Are Stressed To Much People!
Exactly. I love with nearly 20 parrots and the poor birds in this show doesn't look like they are in good conditions at all, they looked like they plucked their feather put of stress, unless the birds are rescues then the performer are mistreating his birds. also the show paced way too fast to be entertaining, Norman Barrett's show with his lovely budgies are so much better, his budgies all looked like they enjoy doing the tricks and you can see the bonds between Mr Barrett and his birds.

interesting points ,if anyone else trying to find out parrot training cd try Hopandar Amazing Parrot Helper (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my friend got cool results with it.
poor parrots. Look at their feather condition! Aahh!
I'm really feel sad for all of that birds... I feel that they are not happy... how please!!! 😢😢😢

The parrots don't seem too happy
First 30 seconds was great. I was like cool, you managed to do that with trained parrots. Then...... I saw the first plucked cockatoo. I hate these people. People should totally abandon these shows so these cruel people don’t make money.
Same...

The way he is handling this poor birds is like to give him a punch.
Poor birds i hope they find a better home
Very nice lovely 😍😍😍👍👍👍👌👌👌👏👏👏👏
Very nice thumbs up for them
Seeing birds be used for purely entertainment within circuses and performing like this without no bond or connection saddens me. The "ringmaster" didn't touch or handle the birds one bit without that giant metal pole, not to mention the speed, the feather condition of these performing birds is atrocious, and I doubt they're rescues due to the training required for a show like this. Although the tricks were not worthy, the birds being in such poor condition takes away from this whole thing.
HerMajestyTheLlama i agree to HerMajestyTheLlama
Raul Menendez I own a parrot. I know of their attention needs. This wasn't the good kind of enrichment, they all look damned miserable, regardless. They don't have a choice in this, they refuse I imagine they get taken out of the act and sold on somewhere. You cannot compare a parrot to a dog.
+HerMajestyTheLlama You're spot on, I've kept birds as well and they looked miserable. I had to turn it off 1/3 of the way through. Poor things.
+Nancy salas Oh. my. G. *spills water over bed (yeah, that happened)* Is that true?... now I feel like killing something...
HerMajestyTheLlama --- Have u ever held a Maccaw before!??!..... If u had..u would understand "why" he uses that pole to transfer them from stand to the stage ... They are HEAVY and their nails PIERCE right througj your skin!!! It hurts!!! It does not mean that they are abused ! Trust me...if the birds are unhappy...they simply WOULDN"t Perform!! For them it's fun and it's a way to keep them entertained ! They don"t care about the aufience!
He does not give a seed after each move
I have a blue and gold macaw and my experience with parrots are they want to please their mate (being us humans) but when they do tricks like this the need to be rewarded immediately after. I noticed some of these birds are pluckers and I also noticed that some of their feathers are rough. Now with the pluckers it is common for a parrot to pluck when having anxiety. This is especially common when you own more than one parrot. What happens is that parrot see their person handling another parrot causing them to feel left out and unwanted leading to behavior issues. The parrot with the beat up feathers look like they may not be placed in the proper caging. My macaw has a 6' tall by 5' wide by 4' beep cage although my cage is probably abnormally large I feel like parrot to should not be caged and should be free. My bird is only in his cage at night for bed time, but he is out all day outside and inside. He gets baths treats movies music toys conversations etc this man clearly does not do that with any of these parrot they are merely there to make him money. This makes me sick. Engage not Cage!!!!!

For all of you who want to do something about this, leave a comment, and a like. I know it seems like the opposite to do, but if it has enough likes, many more people could see the misery and suffering these poor, abused macaws are going through. They've plucked their soiled feathers, and they look so tired and painful. PLEASE, leave a comment and/or like to get this video noticed so something can be done!
Half of the cockatoo sings are plucked he is probably in a lot of stress
Mankind's truest moral test, its fundamental morall test, which lies deeply buried from view, consists of its attitude to those who are at its mercy i.e. animals and in this respect mankind has suffered a fundamental debacle, so fundamental that ALL its debacles stem from it. Milan Wundera, Playwrigh, Poet.
Beautiful parrots
Being abused.
aww.....the poor babies.......they look like they're in awful conditions. The macaws are missing fetters and have overgrown beaks and the cockatoo looks horrible. They also all seem exhausted and they're panting slightly when doing they're tricks.
Excellent work
My heart is broken when i watch this vedio never ever make suffer poor innocent animals this man not feeling how is the pain he make money only
Look at those tattered feathers! these birds are not happy.

They think the birds are for circus.
Ela tá doente a cacatua 🤗 tadinha tá sem penaaaa
Logico ate eu ficaria doente querendo voar mas ter q treinar e sem erras sabe la o q fazem com eles quando erram
I think they should talk in the peformance as well as are those birds babies some of them are bare in some areas especially the blue and gold macaw
Those poor birds... Obviously it seems he's trained them with the stick which could mean he's hit them with it, then again not sure. But they're also picking out their own feathers which means they're stressed out, sickly and possibly being abused to do this... Poor beebs...

like to stop parrot abuse
these BEAUTIFUL birds are stressed!!! theyvare are plucking!! why cant people see this!! this is all for profit and the birds suffer,I hate to think what his training ways consists of!! :(
I notice their feathers, they look stressed, it is ok to have a bird, but I treat them as a human too....
parrots are well trained but they need some grooming as they have shed their feathers so they need to go on a good and healthy diet plan at least for 6 months to get to their normal conditions. parrots look amazing when they are healthy and colorful.
They are being abused. The missing feathers and poor plumage is due to self mutilation caused by stress. These are not robots. They are highly intelligent animals in need of love and affection. This circus needs to be shut down and the owner arrested charged and put in prison for cruelty to animals. These parrots should be adopted by caring responsible people.
I love parrots❤❤🐦🐦
How can they even see that one blue and gold and not notice anything at all wrong?
The cockatoo were so unhappy
Very nice performance in parrots awsom
If you stop at 2:23 the blue macaw looks very neglected
All of those birds have plucked their feathers. Either they are not taken care of properly or abused. They all have fear in their eyes. Shame this could have been a good video if the birds haven't been mistreated one way or another !
I agree, one of them looked like it was been whacked or beaten
As someone who's been preforming with parrots for almost two decades, this sickens me. My birds are very laid back. And are introduced to new situations slowly. If they were comfortable and trained properly, he wouldn't need the sticks. These are very stressed birds.
parrotlady84 I agree

I have 26 parrots they are in large cages in my living room. Some are rescue birds and are fed pellets, appropriate bird seed and human food. To do an act like this you have to love parrots. They may be hand raised from baby chicks. The act requires patience hitting the bird will turn that bird against you. These birds are fully flighted/feathered and are capable of flying If these birds felt mistreated there would not be and act to see. Yes these birds could be mistreated but I hope the trainer if he sees this will correct any bad practices that are harmful to these beautiful birds.Some of these birds appear to be 10 to fifteen years old, I really do hope these birds are being treated well.
Most of the birds are not fully flighted
Look at 1:23
