About Me:
My bio is pretty random: In short, I am a professional singer/songwriter from Toronto, Canada who moved to Manila, Philippines which sorta became my Hollywood because my first RUclips channel MIKEYBUSTOSVIDEOS grew popular due to Filipino comedy videos. Meanwhile, I'm also a big biology geek who is obsessed with ants, so I built an internationally operating ant business supported by another popular channel called ANTSCANADA, and well basically, today I travel and tour around the world doing what I love so I wanted to start this vlogging channel, in hopes to encourage you guys to follow your dreams no matter how random, by showing you what happened when I followed mine! You just never know where life will take you when you listen to the yearnings of your heart!

Thank you for showing us the entire process, Mikey. My dogs and I love watching the birds.
This vlog is a 10 out of 10!
It's so awesome to see that female bond with you, she seems to really know you're a "good guy" that has good snacks. It's actually really cool to see the bird perched on your shoulder again, somehow it completes the picture. And, taking this time to do it gradually seems to be paying off hugely.
It's kind of funny to watch you, Mikey with all this. That makes this all the more enjoyable, you're doing really well.
Finally, even when the vlogs are "long", the time "flies" (no pun intended) and it's really awesome! The vlogs go in a cycle, lots of bird vlogs then, we change to a home vlog, then we travel a bit... it's what these vlogs are famous for so... it's great!!
Ya'll stay safe and healthy! I'll see 'ya next time.
Mikey is like a nervous mama when the birds fly. I see myself when my boys were learning to ride bikes, I had same reactions
Haha! I knew it! Spot on analogy! 🚴♀️
@@jelbertdalagan7054 the way you explained your idea was what is wrong. You can encourage him to make a positive change, but don't do it by telling him what he chose to do "is wrong". Be kind when sharing your idea and explain WHY your idea would be better for the birds. Without educating him why it is better, it comes off very rude.
Ants Canada is my jam but now I’m on the vlog squad too 😎😎🫠🥰 love it.
For us here in Quezon City, we thankfully survived this Super Typhoon other than the fact that the trees were blowing hard without any blackout. Unfortunately, for my Tito Leslie, he's stranded in Papaya all alone due to the Typhoon in Nueva Ecija placed under Signal No. 5, and was more of an unfortunate situation as the lights in my Lolo's house went out, but worse than that is that the wind literally blew the roof of the house in there resulting in a lot of water gushing into the house all night. Also, there was a lot of debris scattered the next day which almost looked like a hurricane; luckily, he's a tough guy who withstood it, and help is coming for him; particularly, since his clothes got soaked by the rain. Thank God! Also Mikey, sorry about some of your plants being destroyed by your birds, but then, that's what we do have to expect sometimes as we said before when getting birds. But to cheer you up and stay positive, we all know that at least, it's not really major damage, so it's not too bad at least.
When they hang upside down, on thir own, it means they are happy and enjoying the experience
I am so happy for you guys I always get emotional when i see the progress of your house because I've been following this channel ever since you bought Malaya, Being a fan of your channel for 5 years and seeing you guys become more and more successful makes me very emotional sometimes i get tears of joy, you and RJ truly deserves all the blessing that the world get to offer🥺💖
Watched the entire 54 mins vlog without skipping even a bit. Your bird encounters and banters just put smiles on my face. Thanks for the new upload, Mikey! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
I’ve been watching your ant channel for years, can’t believe I haven’t seen your vlogs until this last weekend.. now I’m obsessed with this channel! Your house is just AMAZING! RJ’s and yours impecable taste to decor is just mindblowing! Be safe! Sending love from Brazil ❤️
Haha better late than never! Thank you so much for joining us today! Welcome to the Mabuhay Squad! Hugs! 🥰🙏
Mikey it wouldn't hurt once to talk about your vlog channel on Antcanada!
I know right, I was the other way around. Now I enjoy watching ants Canada.
@@MikeyBustosVLOGS Clean the windows. The spirals are the reason they are confused. They will know that their is glass by the dust and the water stains on the glass.
I’m totally enjoying the longer vlogs🎉. It’s smart to slowly release the birds and let them explore their new home. Great fun watching your reactions as well.❤
Can you add some "play rope" to your aviary? The kind that have seed and blocks and such on the rope for birds to play with and chew and such so they have inrichment. You can have them strung up throughout the aviary so maybe the birds will leave your plants alone. If that makes sense.
Yay More Long Vlogs 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁 #MabuhaySquad
She is SO SMART! 🤗🤗I can see the cogs turning in her head about where to go next... and her flockmate boy, he's still figuring things out. I love it! Mikey, you need a NAP after all that! Maybe hang some big perches at the highest level so they have something besides ungraspable glass on their way back down if they go up super high or above the tree?
I think you should try giving your birds as many perching spots lower to the ground, as you can, especially if you're just starting the flight training. If they somehow land on the ground, lower places will be easier for them to climb on to and give them security for the time they learn how to swiftly fly around the aviary. And the rope coming from the cage to the lower branches of the tree is a great idea! I'm sure if not these parrots, your conures will love balancing and hanging upside down on it 😁
Awwwww!!! I just LOVE how you are with your birds. ❤ Have you considered wearing a treat bag around your hips? That way, you can just reach down for their rewards.
So fun watching the progression of your feather babies! You def need names for them. Never apologize for long vlogs, I look forward to them! Hope the typhoon damage is minimal. Much love and positive vibes from Montana. ✨💖✨
That was sweet and funny, and your mixed reaction too! Ms.Fierce🦜 was so daring and cute following you around!😶😁🤪😍
No apology needed for a long vlog. I love seeing the whole process. My heart skipped a beat when they fly to you. I just love seeing you happy.
I would try having the cage door open constantly. So the parrots can explore whenever they want and get used to navigating in and out of the cage when you’re not around
The problem with that is the aviary doors when entering and exiting, they might accidentally escape
YAH JUST LEAVE THE CAGE DOOR OPEN AT ALL.TIMES ...
No worries about the longer vlog...the longer the better, especially when it comes to pets
I am thinking, a series of rope perches throughout the aviary, and a bunch of toys hung near them might enhance the experience for the birds (and maybe preserve the trees).
I love watching your vlogs! It made me relax after a long day of work. Thank you for sharing your babies with us. Much love ❤️
This is such an exciting journey! Today is a pretty good development for you and the birds! I can't wait for you to name them, Kuya Mikey. I'm also so excited when it's finally the conures' time to come out. Hope to see the next vlog soon! Thanks so much for sharing this journey with us, Kuya!
This was fantastic! I just loved seeing you interact with the birds. You had me laughing so hard at your reactions to the female.
How to train your dragon IRL.
Yes!!!
Please don’t apologize for having long vlogs. I personally love long vlogs. Since I work from home, the vlogs helps fill my day. I watch/listen as I work.
I don't mind the long vlogs. It's fun watching the birds. I wish I could have my lovebird do this.
That female one is really bonded to you! That’s great 🥳 and she also the one that influence other. I hope the matured female will also gain confidence and also to gain new flight feather and tails.
Very interesting to see the bird training! Congrats Mikey! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😉
I like how confident the female is now. She's like a model student. Funny how the Apple Strategy worked a little too well with the female in trying to get her down from the tree. Maybe the trees and plants might be able adapt to the birds overtime.
So enjoying watching the birds figure out how to maneuver in their larger world. You can make the click sound by flicking your tongue on the roof of your mouth. I learned to make the click sound without needing the physical clicker when I clicker trained my horse…..my dog and cat got used to it as well….freed up my hand that needed to click. Took a little while to get it…but once I did….I just needed to be sure to adjust my volume for my environment (ie. outside in the wind I ‘click’ louder). Also great for being able to click any time anywhere. ❤ your birds are so keen to learn…yellowback female leading the way!🦜👍🏽

Your home and birds are so beautiful! You seem to be doing amazing with your parrots. Just remember, you want to end training on a good note so your birds enjoy the experience. So if training is going well, stop before the birds get bored. They look so healthy! I would also recommend holding the target stick higher, it may help with biting!
Glue to stick to the clipper and then you'll only have one hand with a stick and the clipper
At least they're having fun,
Mikey, Happy Tuesday! ☺️
So fascinating, it seems that real trees are new to them and they land on you not only for food but also as a safe and solid perch. Maybe the soap lines look like cage wires which confuse the parrots for now. Can't wait to see the conures released.
This is amazing progress, Mikey! I can't wait until it's the conure's turn and see how well they bond with you too!
I knew it will happen. lol. my birds also did the same to the live plants inside the aviary. hehehe
Mikey, please bring a tripod inside the aviary so you have two hands for training :)
So much fun to watch! Mikey reminds me of my dad teaching me to ride a bicycle. Patient and kind. I don't think your vlogs are repetitive. There will always be some constants but that is how we get to know you and your family.
Could we please have a segment on what it has been like to maintain your home? I am sure Ate Elsie has been working very hard. And RJ has been wearing many job hats as well.
Stay safe and have fun every day.
Noted on all points! Yes, will do! So far it's been easy, because there is only RJ and I and the workers clean up at the end of their shifts. We will be hiring more staff soon, though!
I love long vlogs! Please more!
"The rain has stopped. The storm has passed. Look at all the colors. Now the sun's here at last." Hehehe. I missed that song. 😆
I literally just sang that song an hour ago then I heard the lyrics from Mikey and I was like "WHAAAAT??!" 😱🤣
I love watching you with the birds. The yellow back female definitely needs a diva name!!
Wow! So exciting! I could watch these bird / aviary vlog all day. This is my dream setup 😍 used to design my future house as a teen and it always included a house in a square shape like this with an indoor garden in the middle like you have and a large walk in aviary, inspired by the ones my grandfather had when I was little... but I'm severely chronically ill now, so won't happen for me, I cannot manage most daily living activities or work, but I'm loving that I get to experience the joy of your aviary from my bed though. Thanks so much for sharing this whole process!
You should add a few outdoor cameras in the aviary. Then you’ll never miss anything and can be used in your videos and also for security.
Such dedication and patients you have for them! Im positive they really appreciate you and your efforts! Thank you for being soo kind 🙏
YAY MORE LONG VIDEOS MORE LONG VIDEOS!!! the longer the better!! the more aviary content the better too!!!!!!! love seeing your enthusiasm and love for the birds just like what drew me to antscanada. seeing you and your pets happy is such a joy
I love how the birds are getting more and more used to the aviary😍. Can’t wait till the red bellied conures are out !
Time to start putting toys inside. Divert them from destroying the plants
You're so right!!!
Awesome content and exercise for the birdies! I was really hoping the other female bird would get out of her cage and fly with her buddies but time will tell when she’s confident and ready 😊 Also, maybe put more (standing) perches (maybe a small one before the cage door for easier enter/exit for the other female and also perched in other planters so the birds can land and explore more areas) and more toys like what you plan to do, please! I’d cry if the birds destroy all the plants 😅 I know they eventually will but the toys will be a great distraction and are meant to be destroyed.
I think I now understand why people in the comments was so insisting on that the birds should not be rewarded for biting the stick, only touch it 😂 She is trying to bite Mikey to get rewarded with treats 😂 Love this vlog - Mikey and the birds are so cute together ❤
Ps. Don't apologize for the length of the vlogs - we love spending time with you!
Mikey, NAME ALL THE BIRDS!!!! They do learn their name. You can have fun with a poll to name the birds. Get a fanny pack for treats, easier to get them. A nice wood bench with a sturdy moveable perch close to interact comfortably. Your happy place!
Hi Mikey, enjoyed watching you work with your birds. I was wondering if it’s feasible to mount cameras permanently in your aviary so you have both hands free to train your birds. You can also be able to check on your birds when you are not home.
Congratulations 👏 bird daddy Mikey. One of these days you're gonna sleep in the aviary with them. How bout a guava tree? They're gonna love 💕 the guava fruits
I read some articles saying apple seeds are toxic to birds and some articles say it have to be a considerable amount of apple seeds for it to be toxic to birds. Whenever i feed my birds an apple, i remove it just to be safe. Happy Bird Keeping :)
Yeah, I also heard the same thing. I was careful!
Maybe you can consider a ladder for the birds. They love it. I used to have birds too. My favorite is yellow head. Thanks for the vlog.
What a day for you and the birds...congrats!
Where a branch breaks, another grows.😊 like you said, they’ll need some areas to perch to free fly with more ease.
Thank goodness! You are right! Stay tuned for the next vlog where you will see something relating to exactly that!
@@MikeyBustosVLOGS yay!!! Also, I saw online a “Trixie clicker stick” that’s all in one. It might be easier to use, maybe? 🤷🏼♀️ 😂
Correction… Trixie target stick
this aviary vlog is like i’m watching a kdrama series … the anticipation of what’s going to happen on the next episode is really killing me … “i do not want to miss the next episode” kind-of-feeling 😊
It's amazing that she keeps flying towards you. It's like you hand fed her when she was younger
Cool right?! 🥰
Mikey, I think we need to come up with names for these blue-naped parrots because it will become hard for you to get their attention to come down from those trees if you don't call their names. I've been binge watching your old vlogs from the time you got Ligaya and training her was effective because she knows her name when you call her. Just a thought 😊
You're right! I have looked at the name suggestions for these birds in previous vlogs, and I have chosen a name for the yellow-backed female, but still have to choose a name for the other two.
@@MikeyBustosVLOGS Great! Can't wait! 😊
Mikey... I can't wait to have the birds out in the aviary! ... OMG the birds are OUT in the aviary. 🤣
Hey Mikey,
Stop apologizing for the long vlogs, I'm greatly enjoying them. It's great to see something different on the channel. And if you're getting more views, that means that more people are liking the vlogs as they are happening.
Great to see the Napes becoming more confident in coming out and exploring. I'm kind of wondering that if you let out the Conures if the Napes would learn from them quicker, especially the 1 Nape that's still uneasy coming out of the cage? The Conures could also possibly inspire the Napes to become more confident I think.
I'm so happy that you and RJ are finally actually living in the house, and that you've had your first visitors from here in Toronto. The house is looking great with the furniture. I really like the coffee table with the nest looking wooden structure on the table top. And the bed in the Seniors Room is beautiful, I really like that. Most of all I absolutely love the total kitchen, RJ really knocked it out of the park with the kitchen design and finishes!
Keep Safe and Always Inspiring,
Matt - Toronto, Canada
Mikey, your children are leaving the nest! Your anxiety is palpable. No xbox or car will temp them lol such a good Daddy 😀
🤣🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭 I'm a mess! Lol
Keep a bowl next to you or get a fanny pack to keep the treats in when you are training, it makes things easier. None of your ferns will live once the birds are all out. None. Most of the plants in there won't. Once they are out and about you should be sure to have lots of toys for them hanging around so they may pick those over the leaves of the plants. They will still probably destroy them but they will need stimulation, even if it isn't the prettiest thing for you to look at. Toys for sure are going to be needed up higher if you want to see them up there for any length of time. But seriously... kiss your plants and anything else they can get their beaks on goodbye.
I know you have people who you talk to about the birds but I guarantee you they are more likely to come out and explore if you weren't in there.
I have never heard of anyone who doesn't give their birds fruits. Just need to be sure not to give them apple seeds.
🕊 The patience you have working with those birds is incredible. I would never be able to do that. But I enjoy watching you🕊
The third bird in the cage is not ready to fly yet i think.. isn’t it the one with the damaged tail?
But love that the birds are now confident and trust you now.🥰🥰
Yes, sadly terrible wing and tail condition. I also don't think she's ready to fly but my fear is if she goes too long without flapping those wings, she'll never learn how to fly. I actually don't know what to do.
@@MikeyBustosVLOGS
if she does not show progress, you need to intervene and get her to step up and practice moving her up and down to encourage her to flap her wings.
Also, see if you can get more perches in the cage to act as steps or a platform to ease her access down.
Mikey, you need a stool sample from her! Feather condition is #1 indicator for health issues! Cotton swab and zip loc bag. Try to watch after a feed how long it takes but usually about a half hour. You must catch her in the act so you can be sure it is her sample you are collecting! Call your local bird vet, they will tell you what lab to send it to. Must be done! She could have a parasite…. Early intervention can save her!
Luv ya! Frances
Thoroughly enjoyed this vlog. There was something very calming and serene (and funny in parts) in watching you train the birds. They are beautiful.
I was so stressed out from work today and watching this was very therapeutic for me. Mikey, you are a treasure. I love everything that you do. ❤
Update here from Region 3! Wow that was a very strong typhoon. The wind was crazy for around 4 hours. Electricity down but it came back today. Thankfully our province had very minimal structural damage. Although it is very sad to see farmers bearing the brunt of the effects. Most of their crops (Palay), went down. Let’s pray for them.
Wow wow wow!!! You are “ birds whisperer “ Mikey 👏👏👏 Thank you for another amazing vlog 🥰🥰🥰 What a process ♥️♥️♥️ Stay safe… love from Vancouver,BC 🇨🇦
So Cute 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦 #MabuhaySquad
Enjoyed watching your vlog. i didnt even notice its that long. Thank you for sharing your day with the birds.
Think its time for the conures to be out. Seeing other birds flying around the aviary will give them a sense of safety and encourage them to explore . They probably can learn a thing or two about avoiding the spirals by observing the conures too. The conures will likely steer clear of them and are also not big enough to inhibit or intimidate them.
Wow, my dream aviary! How about putting one way glass film over the windows so you can see in but they can’t see out. Apart from being a solid barrier to stop their confusion, it might help them feel less exposed and more secure to explore an enclosed space. Wonder if that would work?
Good job bird training!
You can try putting the clicker on the hand that will catch the bird. Two finger perch, with clicker held using your thumb, pinky and ring finger. Thumb will also be ready to click. Timing is very important.
Other hand will also be free to hold the target stick and the treat. Click, good bird, and treat, all in a few seconds.
Or you can tie/glue your target stick to your clicker.
Try watching birdtricks on youtube. So much info over there, if you havent been watching their clips already...
Long time fan and lurker. Hope to see more of your bird videos. Cant wait for the conures to be out in the aviary too!
Mikey! You have got to name them! That female especially! What is Tagalog for tenacious???!!😂
Both fiddle leaf figs and banyan trees are from the ficus family, the fiddle leaf is called a ficus lyrata and banyans are called ficus benghalensis
Maybe by the windows you could add real perches? Just a thought 💭 🤔
They are loving this freedom. So cute
Just suggestion,i think u need to change the plant beside d cage w/strong branch so that dbird can step up around w/out damagin d leaves.good luck.
Never apologize for long vlogs Mikey, the longer the better 🤣 🤣 can't wait to see the conures out!!
I love the long vlogs! Thank you
you should set a standing bar in the middle of the aviary for them to land and familiar with it.
Hurray for the male blue nape parrot!
Talk about getting a treat, it was awesome to watch ur birds. Thank U so much 4 sharing.😀🙂🥰❤
I don't mind a long vlog, Mikey! Love watching your videos, it relaxes me. Now matter how long, it is always bitin and I always look forward to your next upload! ❤❤❤
SO sorry to post so much... but ONE more idea to help reduce the plant damage. Perhaps if you add a play stand made of branches that they can destroy more easily... and closer to their cages.... along with toys... they will do that more than chewing on it than the live tree. It's worth a try and they need a play stand anyway. It will make it easier when interacting with them.
@Mikey Bustos Vlogs .... Yayyyyyy about what you said about Jamie & Dave... I hadn't seen where you had already replied and I thought... "Dang, I shouldn't talk so much about BirdTricks. I don't want to be annoying!" so I took it down and posted this about the play stand instead... but then I saw your response in my notifications. I'm very happy to wait and see what happens. The 2 blue napes seem to be becoming so much more confident. I wonder what they will think when they see the conures out of their cage while they have to stay inside at first. 🙂
It would be awesome if you have cameras all over the aviary. Thanks for the Vlog! I really enjoyed it.
Hey Mikey, I'm a bit concerned about your parrot hitting the glass wall, if you can visit "Murillo Brothers" channel how their african grey got killed when it hit the glass door from a flight, I think that maybe you guys could put something like a cover up to the glass wall, like a net or mesh something, the birds thinks they can fly through because it's transparent, I've been watching your vlogs about the aviary and I too is excited to see your birds fly out, just make it safer to avoid accident 😉👍
Love your patience and excitement. I am so happy for you.
Is there some sort of drainage system for the retractable roof? Where does the water go that collects on top? Or is it level with the main roof so it uses the roofs drainage systems/gutters?
One of the best episodes! 🐦
I hope you can improve your camera equipment soon! I'm really excited to have a camera in the aviary and just leave it there so we can watch the birds progress soon! Really I know soon! You will do that😊😉
They're toddlers on a day out. Amazing how calm they are.
Have you considered completely covering the windows from the inside?
Better yet add more trees with sturdy branches if possible so they can perch instead of chewing small branches
You seem so happy .
You’re just absolutely beaming with joy tending to those birds Mikey.
Congratulations on finding your passion.
It must be awesome to watch your birds fly in this beautiful aviary! Enjoy it while they haven't shredded all the plants haha. I think your training would improve a lot by giving them names and by using consistent commands.
Big day in Bird Land. Every day is an adventure in the Aviary! #mabuhayflock
you are saying "feast my dragons". I have started saying "feast my tigers" when feeding our cats :D
Yay Early Again 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁 #MabuhaySquad
