Indeed, that was what I was thinking too, especially cuz he does freeflight with him that gives him like total freedom, I think my parrot is too told already to learn (a 10 year old Moluccan cockatoo) that and I think I wouldn't risk it either cuz he's pretty anxious quickly and might fly away..
That's what I call free flying done right! He's obviously very well trained and listens so well! That's literally the best example of free fyling I've seen so far and I absolutly love it!
Brownycat Awww thanks so much. We really like to take him to new places so he doesn’t get bored of the same scenery. He really loves to fly and it makes us so happy seeing him happy
True that. Birdtricks do awesome free flying sessions with their birds but they are professional bird trainers so my hat off to this dude, he knows his bird well and that level of trust especially when the bird was so close to his eyes between 9:04-9:22. I would have freaked out and thought the thing was going to gouge my eyes out. Respect bro. Envy your level of patience and dedication. keep it up man!!
I think it’s wonderful that you live your life this way with mikey. you love him enough to not keep him caged up or fully clip his wings. he’s fully aware of the training and good and trust you’ve gave him. he likes you and always comes back. enjoyed the content keep it up!!
Really impressive to me that he’s able to free fly out in a park. I’m for sure no bird expert but I bet that has got to demonstrate what a great bond he has with his owners and the amount of trust involved. He’s an amazing bird for sure, and amazing owners!
Kate H Awww thanks, bond has a lot to do with it but the amount of training we put in to make this happen was crazy haha. We actually made a video about it called “parrot journey to free flight” it was totally worth it.
It is obvious to anyone who knows about parrots that you have spent TONS of time with Mikey. I wish everyone with a parrot treated them the way you do!! It takes a lot of time and the birds need that. Thanks so much for sharing Mikey’s day with us. I don’t have a parrot but would love to. I know that I wouldn’t have enough time and that wouldn’t be fair to the bird. So I live vicariously through parrot videos!😉
Lori W you said the most perfect thing and it’s what I would have said with the exception that I have two tiels one 24 and one 17 and they are much easier to deal with because they have each other for company, two besties!!!!!
Aww thanks for watching, yea we have spent a lot of time with him, we love spending time with him, he’s such a good boy most of the time haha, other times he’s not so good and a lot of work so yea your right, watching Parrots on RUclips would be much easier than owning one haha
*If any of my info is incorrect or you have a different opinion then i'm free to criticism, seriously, I'm really no expert lol XD* If you really want a bird I would recommend getting a budgie. Getting a pair is better as they can get very lonely and would need a lot more attention, also, try getting two male budgies. Females will lay eggs during breeding season, fertilized or not (obviously you need a male budgie if the egg were to be fertilised) they will protect them. Try and get two of the same gender as getting a breeding pair (one boy and one girl) would most likely result in fertilised eggs. You can tell their gender by looking at their cere located above the beak (these are their nostrils). When they are very young it will be a pinky colour however as they grow older the colour will either become a darker and darker blue as they age (a male) or a darker brown as they age, not too dark though (a female). *SOME IMPORTANT INFO IF YOU ARE THINKING OF GETTING A BUDGIE/BUDGIES They are messy however they aren't as high maintenance as I first expected. Be sure to feed them seed mainly (millet, trill, budgie mix etc:) however also add in fruits and vegetables (mine LOVE broccoli. other ones that I have tried with them will some success include: carrot, grapes and rocket). Also, make sure to have a cuttlebone and some grit (they do eat the grit so don't be worried). I personally do use sandpaper however you can use things such as newspaper to lay at the bottom of their litter tray at the bottom of the cage. Mine don't really play with them much at all as they are out all day but have toys for them. I would highly recommend a swing or two, mine love the thing! And, I think you may already know this as you mentioned you wanted a parrot, but in regards to clipping their wings in my own opinion I wouldn't recommend it. We didn't and I'm so glad we didn't as they love to fly around the room. If you do decide to clip their wings then the benefits from what iv'e heard of doing so are: they become easier to tame and they are less likely to fly out of an open door and or window as they are unable to (I don't know if these are 100% credible so I would recommend doing your own research). However, please do not be alarmed as the feathers do grow back so if you decide after having their wings clipped that you do not want them clipped anymore then you can just let them grow back out. This comment is getting too long now so I hope this helped and if you have any questions that I didn't mention then please ask or research it (i'm not an expert, just have a little bit of first hand experience, emphasis on 'little' lol XD)
"he plays with the children... And then he bites the children." Honestly, same Mikey, same. Children are only cool for like the first few minutes & then I also want to bite them.
Lol!!! Omg I love your comment! Same here but except, I really do bite the children, my children lol! They know the drill. They’re juicy and obnoxious! Our bird bites our toes too. We all know in the house that we have to cover our toes when the blurb is walking about or on the bed with us!
Every parrot, Macaw, African grey, Australian grey, amazon parrots and many many more are all a full time job. It is one of the smartes beeings on earth with full socialization and the need of those contacts to survive - just like a human beeing. My opinion with own experiences goes further: Never have them alone and dont give them just a 2nd. At least 2 rooms and a small group of parrots is needed plus an option to go outside-inside themselves.
@@red-ze8kc Then get him out of his cage in a safe big room for the beginning. And go the next steps very slow ... it will take you 1 year with a training unit every day. Then you will see, it will work for him/her :)
Wrongway Destroyer I know! I will let them fly and I give them the option to come out there cage by chilling out and leaving the cage open but they really don’t want to come out! I will not force them out I will let them come out when they want!
You guys don't know how much it means to me that you replied i just started watching you guys and i already love your content and the way you treat your bird the way they should be treated really warms my heart
Erm? Micky is a macaw, their natural habitat is not England lol, but I catch your drift. Mickey sure has great engaged, loving and knowledgeable Parronts and a happy, healthy secure life. But also know not just anyone can provide this life for a macaw so they should not have one. Parrots are a full time, life long responsibility. Please don't watch this and go get yourself a bird let alone a parrot. But I'm sure you know that anyway x
When I see videos with parrots I love to see how much their eyes pin, it’s like..aww you’re the best owner out here making your bird happy 😊 My birds eyes pin when I say “who’s a pretty girl”
Oh man that was an awesome beach trip for Mikey. He had a blast he's quite the attention getter. Maybe it is a natural built in instinct from the days of the first sailing explorers???? Hmmmm? Their brain size for their head ratio is larger than human brain size head ratio. Just ran across that tid bit of knowledge from a link a friend sent me since he knows I love parrots and all birds. Birds were able to survive the dinosaur extinction after all. It's been proven parrots do not just mimic people but, understand what words mean and even construct complete sentances. I find parrots fascinating,fun entertaining, lovable cuddly bundles of joy and most of all highly intelligent. Thoroughly loved you video. Mikey is so blessed to have you parrotpapa. 🕊
Awww thanks. Yes he is very intelligent, he knows a lot more about what’s going on that we think he does anyway. He’s such a sweet bird and we love him dearly.
Yes we do, it’s a Marshall telemetry GPS, they are stupid expensive but Mikey ended up getting chased by crows in training so we thought we better make the investment.
Mikey The Macaw & Friends I didnt even notice it until you said he has one😅 ..... But if he has it on his foot doesnt that make it a bit more "dangerous" to get stuck in a tree?
Melani We can tail mount it but it really annoys him. We did think this and it has got caught slightly before but never to a point where he can’t just fix the problem himself by just pulling it off a twig with his beak, so far we have had no problems with it.
I am becoming a monstrous fan of you two and Mikey. I shared with you a few days ago, a bit about the sanctuary we run here in the States. I can tell you that I cried when I watched you take off running and then watched Mikey follow. While I know I can't have that for all of the birds here, I truly do hope the sanctuary's namesake, Miss Daisy, will one day flap her wings enough to even flutter to the ground. There will be many tears when that happens, because when she got here her wings didn't open. Years of doing exercises with her has her flapping the wings like mad, so we are hopeful. Thank you for more laughter, happiness and even more tears. Cheers!
There's a family reptile store in my town and sometimes people bring their little animal family members. So there's this woman who will drive to the store with her bearded dragon on her shoulder. The windows are half down and the beardie just chills right there lol
What a silly beautiful boy! Your videos with Mikey always bring a smile and a laugh. It’s so great seeing a guy who is not afraid to show his tender side when it comes to animals. You’re a good soul mate. Mikey is lucky to have a daddy like you
Mikey The Macaw & Friends I can totally see that. My aunt and uncle had a cockatoo who was the COOLEST bird I’ve ever met. Never could get used to him doing love nibbles on my fingers though! 😂
HI. sir, how do you get over the fear that every time he Flys, that maybe one time he will get lost, or stolen, and never comes back. boy I was scared for you... great day out thank you
Layla uk Good question, so it took over 4 months of daily training before we let him free, he did so well at his local park so went there every morning and evening. After a few weeks we started looking at new locations and as long as he has around 15mins to check out the area, he’s comfortable. We are now very confident he will always come back, or stay in sight anyway so if anyone did try and take him we would be close by, and they would have to be pretty brave as they may get a serious bite too haha
Wow you two make a great team Mikey is one lucky bird 🦅 this is an indication of how you will treat your human children it is amazing to see the new generation of happy well balanced souls you were raised beautifully your parent must be so proud 🤗👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🦋🍀💐🌷🌹🥀🌺🌸🌼🌻
Honestly, I think you 3 are doing the "pet" thing right. When having a pet it should live WITH the human, not in the same house as the human. Just having something and sometimes watching it or, as some other youtubers do, hoarding animals, is not the way. Live, Love and most importantly have fun with your pets. They are already domesticated, there is no reason trying to "give them a home close to or like in nature or something like that". You"ll never reach nature. I love Mikey and I actually kinda love you two because you basically are 3, you are a team you do a great job and I love that fact that you don't have an animal, but a pet. You live withthat guy ^^
Birds are so much work! They live a long time (50+ years sometimes) and they only bond once. That means they need you around because you're their partner! This owner is taking great care of Mikey. You can see this bird is healthy and very very happy. Amazing owner. When birds are upset they pick their feathers out due to stress. Anyhow folks, birds are loving and cute but they are a huge commitment. Way bigger than a dog
You’re such a good and lovely person! As i saw how majestic,beautiful and friendly Mikey is and the connection between you three shows that you’ve put alot of training,love and caring in this friendship and i admire you for it. It is rare to see such person having such a strong bond with a macaw
what a sweet Macaw..you can tell just by looking at him just how healthy and happy he is. ive always wanted either a raven or a parrot of some kind (and as far as parrots goes,the blue and gold mecaw is very high on that list).... also,him playing with your glasses was amusing to watch.
Don't even attempt to free fly without months and months of very hard work training and research as to where to fly. Also reaserch wild birds so you know which can cause a problem and so you can recognise them. Bottom line.... Don't take it lightly. You can always train to go out on a harness if free flight is not best for your BIRD .x
Kaia Marino I took my two budgies outside to fly like like Mickey I was all yeah they were flying and flying and never came back Bobby and Whitney never came back I was so mad at this video
Keep there doors open they will eventually come out and will fly around the house thats what my budgie does but keep the curtains down or else they will hit the window he’s a 10/10 birb lol
I met only one macaw in my life: his name was Trouble, but I didn't know that at the time. I was in a pet store with a friend buying spider food, and in the center was an island with sand and a perch with this huge, gorgeous blue fella. He was talking to me, saying hello, reaching out to me, and asking if I "want some?". I thought he wanted to be friends, so I let him step up on me. He was nice at first, climbing up to my shoulder. Then he started biting my ear and collarbone. The owner had to come give him a peanut to get him off me, and it turns out this is his deal. He's Trouble, and he is an extortionist.
Oh I love your macaw it's so amazing the bond between a bird and it's owner . I had a Jenday conure for 14 years sadly I had a massive stroke and was hospitalized and he passed away while I was in the hospital so sad miss him so much free to fly like yours but never flew away from me ❤u miss pierre
I have a question have you looked into wetting leaves and letting him rub himself against them just for a more wild type of theme and if so has it worked at all for you and Mikey
This is one of the coolest Video's i have seen on RUclips i couldn't help but smile the whole time.. Such a Good pet Dad and Cool Bird Mikey is Amazing
Btw Mickey is in a hormonal stage were he rubs his butt on stuff and puts his head down with his butt up that happens to every parrot specially during the spring time witch is so close rn..what you should do is not cuddle your bird you can only touch Mickey from his head, and under his neck...or else you are sexually frustrating your macaw.
Lori Woloshyn Months and months of training. We made a video about it called “Parrot journey to freeflight” he knows we are his flock, he loves us, and sleeping in a cold tree getting rained on and getting attacked by crows is way less fun than coming home for food and cuddles haha
Daddy: What are you doing? Bird: I’m gonna show ur my butt Daddy: that fine Bird: *fart Daddy: ewwwww! Don’t do that again Bird: I can’t hold my fart 💨

excuse me?

Nah, parents should teach the kids to not touch pets without permission... My parrot bites all strangers to. But he loves some good ol peekaboo
Mikey The Macaw & Friends are they angry bites or playful bites?

Heartless idiots
There’s always a few
And now bless him he is recovering from a terrible injury
He’s doing so well and will be back in the skies in no time.

I'd be terrified of my bird not coming back if I let him out for a flight. They're not cheap. And they're lile family
With the right training it’s possible. Without training you will loose them.

There's a family reptile store in my town and sometimes people bring their little animal family members. So there's this woman who will drive to the store with her bearded dragon on her shoulder. The windows are half down and the beardie just chills right there lol
Just the most heartwarming video. Happiness and smiles all the way around.
Hailey Warhol Awww thanks.
What a silly beautiful boy! Your videos with Mikey always bring a smile and a laugh. It’s so great seeing a guy who is not afraid to show his tender side when it comes to animals. You’re a good soul mate. Mikey is lucky to have a daddy like you
Awww thanks so much. He brings so much joy to us.
Mikey The Macaw & Friends I can totally see that. My aunt and uncle had a cockatoo who was the COOLEST bird I’ve ever met. Never could get used to him doing love nibbles on my fingers though! 😂
when the bird eats healthier than you do
Featheredfooxx haha yup. He even eats healthier than us.
Ya so true
My friend got one too a few weeks ago. Now he has only 4 fingers on his left hand :P
Haha oh no
Oh dear 😂
Wait realy? Or are you just joking lol-
HI. sir, how do you get over the fear that every time he Flys, that maybe one time he will get lost, or stolen, and never comes back. boy I was scared for you... great day out thank you
Layla uk Good question, so it took over 4 months of daily training before we let him free, he did so well at his local park so went there every morning and evening. After a few weeks we started looking at new locations and as long as he has around 15mins to check out the area, he’s comfortable. We are now very confident he will always come back, or stay in sight anyway so if anyone did try and take him we would be close by, and they would have to be pretty brave as they may get a serious bite too haha
This is how you take good care of birds!! A lot of work but also a lot of fun. Congratulations for being such an incredible person
Rafaela Forgiarini Your right, it is a lot of work, but it’s so rewarding giving him the best life we can.
Mikey is so happy! This seems like an ideal life, for the parrot and the humans. Thank you for taking care of him!
Aww thanks. We do our best to give them the best life we can.
Wow you two make a great team Mikey is one lucky bird 🦅 this is an indication of how you will treat your human children it is amazing to see the new generation of happy well balanced souls you were raised beautifully your parent must be so proud 🤗👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🦋🍀💐🌷🌹🥀🌺🌸🌼🌻
We do our best to give Mikey the best life we can. Haha our parents think we are crazy with the amount of our lives revolve around him lol
I feel like Mikey’s picking up your New Zealand accent...
Haha amazing. I’ll teach him NZ slang next haha
I thought i heard a nz twang. Boy i miss the accent
lel I couldn't tell if he was english, aussie or kiwi
Wogs4Lyfe haha, been living too many places for too many years now
Honestly, I think you 3 are doing the "pet" thing right. When having a pet it should live WITH the human, not in the same house as the human. Just having something and sometimes watching it or, as some other youtubers do, hoarding animals, is not the way. Live, Love and most importantly have fun with your pets. They are already domesticated, there is no reason trying to "give them a home close to or like in nature or something like that". You"ll never reach nature. I love Mikey and I actually kinda love you two because you basically are 3, you are a team you do a great job and I love that fact that you don't have an animal, but a pet. You live withthat guy ^^
SerenitysCall Awww thanks so much.
SerenitysCall Mikey’s basically family
This is so well worded. If i was your parent i would be extremely proud
Birds are so much work! They live a long time (50+ years sometimes) and they only bond once. That means they need you around because you're their partner! This owner is taking great care of Mikey. You can see this bird is healthy and very very happy. Amazing owner. When birds are upset they pick their feathers out due to stress. Anyhow folks, birds are loving and cute but they are a huge commitment. Way bigger than a dog
This is all very true.
You’re such a good and lovely person! As i saw how majestic,beautiful and friendly Mikey is and the connection between you three shows that you’ve put alot of training,love and caring in this friendship and i admire you for it. It is rare to see such person having such a strong bond with a macaw
Awww thanks. We do our best to keep them happy.
Great vlog. Keep em coming. Love the humor
Thanks. We will do our best to make a few more.
his food looks real good when it is done
1:11 Him: Doesn't smell..
Also Him: (Dying in the inside)
Haha, they are really clean lol
God bless you, I just love the bond you and your bird Mickey have, it's amazing, he is a happy camper .
what a sweet Macaw..you can tell just by looking at him just how healthy and happy he is. ive always wanted either a raven or a parrot of some kind (and as far as parrots goes,the blue and gold mecaw is very high on that list)....
also,him playing with your glasses was amusing to watch.
Haha we do our best to keep them happy. They are a lot of work though.
@@MikeyTheMacaw i imagine so,but the companionship with such a bird must be very rewarding.
I could take my birds outside but....
They won’t come back lol
Kaia marino u can watch how he tought his birds to free flight,youd have to use a harnass/bird leash until u know hel come back
Don't even attempt to free fly without months and months of very hard work training and research as to where to fly. Also reaserch wild birds so you know which can cause a problem and so you can recognise them. Bottom line.... Don't take it lightly. You can always train to go out on a harness if free flight is not best for your BIRD .x
Kaia Marino I took my two budgies outside to fly like like Mickey I was all yeah they were flying and flying and never came back Bobby and Whitney never came back I was so mad at this video
Keep there doors open they will eventually come out and will fly around the house thats what my budgie does but keep the curtains down or else they will hit the window he’s a 10/10 birb lol
Richard Smith put there cage outside theres a chance they will see it and fly back if a hawk hasn’t got to them
I met only one macaw in my life: his name was Trouble, but I didn't know that at the time. I was in a pet store with a friend buying spider food, and in the center was an island with sand and a perch with this huge, gorgeous blue fella. He was talking to me, saying hello, reaching out to me, and asking if I "want some?". I thought he wanted to be friends, so I let him step up on me. He was nice at first, climbing up to my shoulder. Then he started biting my ear and collarbone. The owner had to come give him a peanut to get him off me, and it turns out this is his deal. He's Trouble, and he is an extortionist.
Haha, yea these birds can be very cheeky.
Macaws are so beautiful when they fly
You guys are such responsible and knowledgeable parrot owners👏
We do our best to keep them happy.
Oh I love your macaw it's so amazing the bond between a bird and it's owner . I had a Jenday conure for 14 years sadly I had a massive stroke and was hospitalized and he passed away while I was in the hospital so sad miss him so much free to fly like yours but never flew away from me ❤u miss pierre
Oh no. So sorry to hear this.
-Do you had a good shower ?
-Hello !
me = ;-;" .........i think it mean yes
Haha yes.

9:21 dont bite and drive
Bilkis Hanslod Haha we really need to tell him this.
"He loves these nips, it's crazy"
Haha, sometimes they don’t feel nice.
You are so luckyyyyy .... my parrot hates my car ...
Bruno The Expert Haha oh no. Mikey loves it as he knows he’s going somewhere exciting.
How awesome ! Loving the way you guys take care of him.
Aww thanks. We do our best to keep them happy.
He’s so spoiled! Lol you guys are great parents!!
CrystalLucyMoon Haha, we do our best to make him happy.
I have a question have you looked into wetting leaves and letting him rub himself against them just for a more wild type of theme and if so has it worked at all for you and Mikey
Vannah K We actually have never tried that. No harm in giving it a go though.
That parrot is smarter than half of my classmates xD
Haha
9:36 *"The f are these ugly things?!"*
Geese.
This is one of the coolest Video's i have seen on RUclips i couldn't help but smile the whole time.. Such a Good pet Dad and Cool Bird Mikey is Amazing
Awww thanks so much. Glad you enjoyed it.
Mikey deserves everything❤️ nothing too dramatic but he can have my kidney if he want it❤️❤️
Tisha Tandon haha omg this made us lol.
Mikey The Macaw & Friends soo.... when’s the mikey and mia merch coming out?😂😂
Tisha Tandon What would you like? Mikey and Mia underwear?
Btw Mickey is in a hormonal stage were he rubs his butt on stuff and puts his head down with his butt up that happens to every parrot specially during the spring time witch is so close rn..what you should do is not cuddle your bird you can only touch Mickey from his head, and under his neck...or else you are sexually frustrating your macaw.
Yea we usually only stay around the head for scratches just incase he gets the wrong idea.
Mikey The Macaw & Friends u need to get Mikey a friend.
DreamSteal We recently did, we posted a few updates on our RUclips status but full progress is on our insta and Facebook.
Love this! Would definitely not be mad if I saw more of these 😋😋😋😋
Jessica Chiarelli Awww thanks. I guess we could do more then

pacificbeauty Awww thanks so much.
I like the people's reactions. There so funny and make me smile.
Haha aww, yea people usually smile when we are out with them
how does he just not fly away on the street or fly way from u guys at the park
Lori Woloshyn Months and months of training. We made a video about it called “Parrot journey to freeflight” he knows we are his flock, he loves us, and sleeping in a cold tree getting rained on and getting attacked by crows is way less fun than coming home for food and cuddles haha
Aimee Kathleen probably coz he has a happy life
He’s so cute
2:30 hahaha so small can't even find it hahahahha
This is very true.
Your an incredible Macaw ambassador!!! Cheers to you !!
Awww thanks so much.

Aww thanks. We do our best to keep him happy.
mikey and orion are beautiful 👀❤️

Mikey The Macaw & Friends i ship
Mikey The Macaw & Friends wouldn’t it be a cross-breed Macaw?
DreamSteal it would be a harlequin
What is the bathroom situation with him?
Artful Idiots Studios He will always fly to one of the perches around the house to poop
OH MY GOD IT'S QUEEN ORION
