Oh my heavens. I definitely don’t have enough space to put all of my thoughts down. This series that you have put out with the Falconers is absolutely so very, very important and interesting and informative. I watch these videos several times. I’m in awe. I don’t know who did all the videoing, but it was great! Yeah, I took up the whole page anyway. LOL. ❤️❤️😘🕊🦜🐥Thank you, as always. My day is happy! 🥰Love, Nana Janet🎄🎂🎈💕
I lost my sun conure yesterday he got spooked in my driveway took off, i searched all around and he was in my neighbors yard on the ground around his tool shed . Man im so glad i found him he wouldve frozen at night . 😥please post everything you can.
I love your videos I’ve been in the process of moving my cockatiel and budgie from a seed diet to a fresh vegetables diet but it’s a bit hard I’ve been hoping you’d release another video talking about it as it is very important
I'm facing thr sme problem wit my parakeets as they weren't given veggies before me. I've had good success with attaching fresh stuff to the ceiling of the cage to hang down and putting a stalk of broccoli in their rrgulsr food bowl so theh see it around their normal food. One see one do so if you can get your cockatiel to eat something, b3 sure your budgie sees them eat it.
Very interesting! There is a lot more to know than it seems at first! I guess the adolescent young raptors are more dangerous in fall is cause they have just left the nest and started to hunt for themselves. And they are not so good at it at first :) Winter sorts it out, the ones who learn - survive, the ones who don't - well, they don't.
Very good info & something to really consider & educate yourself with! My mom almost lost her little dog to a hawk/bird, right in front of her in their yard. I'm sure her running at it flailing her arms around is what scared it off. Now both her & the dog look up before going outside. She never thought it would be so bold with her so close.
I had problems with a big owl when my son was little a couple of times. We were outside in the yard He was about one. It swooped down on him a couple of times in the broad daylight! It scared him and me! I think it was jesting in a neighbor's tree. It lived in that ar a for years afterwards but, after the third time of him swooping on him and me going after it, it stopped. I would still see h around. My son is 28 now and the owl or it's offspring still love in that area.
There are so many merlins and accipters in southern New Jersey. Letting pet birds outside seems like such a bad idea. The merlins even harass bald eagles, so not even the largest macaws are safe.
I just woke up and realized you guys have a vid today!!!! YAY. There are so many raptors in Wisconsin and you hardly know if their a threat or not! This was really helpful! But I try to be safe with my birds. Edit: I just saw a hawk I think land on the tree next to my window!! 😃
My sun conure is always outside with me. If not on my shoulder, then on his branch perch above the gazebo. I never even considered falcons until I saw one today on a high antenna.... I've been taking him out for years but now this falcon has gotten me spooked.
Thank you so much for this video ♥️ I have always wondered about this. We are in the forest & I used to live having my lg macaw out by the pool during the day for fresh air and sun, but my vet warned me of hawks in our area. Lulu is super bird friendly (no danger sense) & was also once bullied by a murder of crows while stuck in a tree, she tried saying 'hi' but then got scared.
thank you im researching for a bird and I'm thinking of free flight don't worry I've done a year now and 4 more years and I love that intro keep it up :)
As a bird owner, I appreciate this channel and all the wonderful information you share with bird lovers. I do want to make one comment regarding flying your bird, taking your bird outdoors and the need for sunshine. My Jardine is 27 years old, and at this point, I would not consider attempting free fly her. She is not clipped, and she is free to fly indoors. She has always been terrified of new things in her environment, upset with changes in her schedule, regardless of how many time we have worked to desensitize her. Even introducing new toys requires a long desensitization process....placing the toy near the cage where she can watch it for a few days, holding and playing with the toy myself while she watches while outside her cage, and finally placing the toy inside the cage in a non-threatening location. I do not know if something happened to her early in life (while at the breeder's) that may have caused her to be so timid and afraid of changes or whether this is just her personality. I have owned several other birds, including an African Grey, and never encountered this level of trepidation. That said, she has improved over the years. I would not consider trying to fly her or even taking her outdoors on a leash (the leash itself would be traumatic for her). I do want to say that in lieu of direct involvement with the outdoors, she is located in our sunroom and in good weather the windows are open to the air. Also, I have an avian bird lamp above her cage that provides full spectrum light to provide the UV light and Vit D3 she needs to process calcium. If you are now comfortable with your bird outdoors, or you have an older bird, or a bird that may be ill, I highly recommend you get one of these lamps. You can find them on Amazon. I wish Dave and Jamie would inform people about this option. Perhaps they have and I have just missed it.
LOVING the incorporation and discussion of falconry with the usual parrot content. More please (when and if possible)! Also, the lack of Mayday in the "My Birds" part of your description is cracking me up. I think, maybe, just perhaps, Jamie isn't pleased with the dove.
This channel really deserves far more subscribers...absolute wealth of information and diverse content related to pet birds and their responsible management.
We actually keep bird houses and feeders in the outer perimeter of our garden so that they can alert us of any potential danger while the birds are in their aviary. It has actually came in handy once or twice because they don't just alert at raptors, they also alert to small mammals like squirrels too. We feed the birds in the aviary and the wild birds seem to have picked up that when we bring the birds in, we dump the remaining food on the bird house platforms to help the fledglings and parents birds out especially on the harder long winters where food is scarce. I dont condone feeding wild animals and making them used to humans so we insure to spread it and leave em alone, but we have had great value having them around as we have a large raptor population and they dont at all bother the birds and our birds warn them too. My quaker speaks sparrow now though lol.
Watch out for those ravens. I know they're usually a good thing for your parrots,but i’ve seen them get together in a flock of about 15,and launch what appeared to be an organized attack on the pigeon s in the cornfield. But usually they don’t team up,but they do sometimes.
Thanks for an awesome series! I'm only 2 eps in but wanted to add something around Dave's discussion of the parrots being highly visible - birds of prey have exceptional eyesight & also _use cues in the UV spectrum to help hunt prey._ Some raptors in Europe have been shown to locate small mammal prey (mice, voles) from long distances in tall grass & fields of crops by following pee & scent trails on the ground which are only visible in the UV spectrum - almost like a little line of UV LEDs pointing to their prey! 🦅 So it's probably worth keeping in mind that those gorgeous macaws & other parrots who use UV signalling themselves in their plumage may stand out even more to a raptor than we think - especially in regions where the native birds aren't quite as flamboyant, shall we say! LOL 🦜
I lost a parrot to a Red-Tail Hawk. I stupidly left the cage outside too long but it was under a tree so I thought it was secure. My boy only got a small injury by a talon but the fear was too much for his heart to take. I hold no rancor to the Hawk bc I know they have to survive and the role birds of prey or all predators have in nature.
Anxious to learn more. Thanks for sharing, my “Velcro” bird is working on new feathers still. We’re learning to play and it’s clear he feels safe with me. Wish we could just hang out out of doors. Keep inspiring us 🤗
Sibley’s Bird Guides have both visual description and behavior books. It’s a great idea to look up the predator birds that inhabit a certain area, then look up the behaviors you would see from the predator birds.
It's a good thumbnail picture... The Falcon that swooped down and landed on me and my pigions was about that size ,, He or she perched not much further away than the bird in the photo is from her, Like Arms length.. AND. similarly , I got no feeling at all that it was scared of me . It was very comfortable and later I thought maybe it wanted me to feed it .., I do wonder what it was thinking..I wonder what that bird in the photo is thinking, IS it thinking it wants to be friends or is it thinking , humm this girl is small , I wonder if I can pick it up and eat it
Loved listening to this discussion. It is too hard for me to identify the raptors. Seriously they fly too fast and my photos show a little speck in the sky 😂 can goshawks reach the distant clouds from over my head in like 30 seconds? I cannot even get a photo to ID. And they deliberately fly into the sun to blind me. All about territory and living in harmony with the nature in the territory. Alarm calls 💯 😊 Trust the ravens 🖤 they are amazing. They guide some raptors here every year. Thanks for sharing. P.s. I need more help with raptor identification. From below in flight with colours to perching on a branch, etc., to a non-professional, the research I’ve done is already too confusing!!!!
No, don’t be sad! Your budgies are meant only for YOU! You were made for those sweet budgies! Keep doing such an awesome job as a bird parent!❤️Nana Janet ❤️
A budgie can fly, just do it inside. They’re actually good fliers and it’s a good way for them to exercise, and recall is a great thing for any bird to learn.
My parrot got chased 3 times by peregrines. He always made it back fine. I was the one freaking out whistling like crazy. But maybe it helped idk. The peregrine tried to grab my macaw by the tail like he does with pigeons and make him lose control to then grab his body after. But macaws tails are way longer than pigeons so his strategy didn’t work on my macaw. And it’s true that they come out of nowhere and yes you can try to predict with all the given indicators in this video but honestly you can never really know for sure. Sad but true. All you can do is train your bird to be a very skilled flyer so he could get away in case of an attack.
Never could I free fly my birds in my area of Aust. Too much 'bush'& hawks around. You have to know your own environment. They fly free inside. My outside aviaries all have a 'roof' & under a very lge. car port roofed area for double protection. Lost one outside bird once .. never again!
Working on YT, I suspect they uploaded it in advance and scheduled the reveal but it accidentally went live temporarily. Just a possibility, or they revealed it for their Patrons first but accidentally allowed it to all for a minute. Great vid, none the less.
I added it to a new playlist I created before it was live to everyone and so people tend to find new videos early that way. I need to stop doing it but if I don't do it right when I upload the video, I tend to forget to do it at all.
I have two budgies of mine.And they are very frightful.They only respond to me when i have milllet or seed on my hand.But i want to have a better bond than just that.And they dont get any outside of the cage time.Because we dont want them to get hurt.But i know when they are out of there cage you can get a better bond.And i just want them to a have a good life.And a bettet bond with me.What should i do 😣
Harriers prefer small mammals but if they are not successfully finding them they'll take small birds in a heartbeat. Perhaps the size of the birds you are flying are large enough to deter but sun conures would certainly be vulnerable...
@Wattle Completely agree..depends on a number of conditions. When hunting for food, and unless starving, I'm pretty sure they would be deterred from bothering with larger birds that could give them some trouble/injury...
We had a huge guy get chickens at our neighbors place. It was so sad! Then our chicken disappeared for about 5-6hours she came back with claw marks and blood on her. It wasnt her blood and we havent had a that big of a bird since. I haven't wanted to ask what she did to the bird lol
Exactly. Raptors hunt invasive (Alexandrine) parrots in the city. Amazons and Macaws are on the menu when they travel to North America. Not just juvenile but adult Raptors also see a easy meal when something exotic looking or a colored tourist bird like a pet is in their sights so I WOULD NOT RISK IT. And the crows only take on raptors in groups they are not dummies (;
Hi birdtricks . I have five parakeets and all of them are tamed. Well one of them has a problem . He loves being with his buddy parakeet but whenever I play with him or take him out of the cage without his buddy parakeet he freaks out and starts thumping and becomes streamlined. This has been happening for the past few months . Initially when I tamed him he loved being around me with or without his buddy but now he stresses out when he sees me . How do I fix this cause I really need help .
I’m curious. When you pet a birds head/neck feathers, are you only touching their feathers or their skin too? Does it depend on the bird and what they like?
When I pet my budgies and doves I stroke their neck and yes I do touch there skin whilst doing it but i don't know if it's just me that does it or not..haha
My puppy was taken by a juvenile hawk. Never even saw it coming and was right there too.. I take my bird with me everywhere and this is my biggest fear. I feel like the only way to truly protect her is to keep her in a cage which she hates.
HELP SOS ! LOL . I HAVE A 35 YEAR OLD MALE SULPHUR CRESTED COCKATOO. AS LOVING AND TAME HE IS , NO WAYYYYY WILL HE LET ME PUT A HARNESS ON. I LOVE MY BOY SOOOOOO MUCH I WANT TO TAKE HIM TO THE PARK ON MY SHOULDER ON A REGULAR BASIS. HE DESERVES IT. IF I HAVE HIS WINGS CLIPPED SHORT ENOUGH WOULD IT BE OK ? I LIVE IN A AREA WHERE THERE ARE NO FALCONS BUT RED TALL HAWKS AND THE OTHER TYPE OF HAWK AS WELL AS THE SMALLER TYPE ( GOUSHAWK ?) WILL IT BE SAFE TO TAKE HIM OUT ? I WILL HAVE TO STILL BE ON MY GAURD FOR THREATS FROM ABOUT AS WELL AS DOGS BEING WAKED WITHOUT LEASHES BUT I THINK THE RISK IS LOW. I WOULD ALSO BE CARRYING PEPPER/BEAR SPRAY JUST IN CASE. I UNDERSTAND IT WOULD NOT BE A GOOD IDEA IF IT WAS A SMALLER, LIGHTER PARROT THAT MAY STILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL OF FLYING OFF MY SHOULDER BUT COCKATOO'S ARE ARE PRETTY HEAVY TO FLY WHEN WINGS ARE CLIPPED. ANYONE CAN HELP ME ? IS IT A DEFINITE NO NO ?
I need someone's help here! Last day my parrot (lovebird) cut himself i her toe and we stopped the bleeding, until now he cant walk properly in two feet and he sleeps at the bottom of the cage (sometimes laying down) do u have any tips that i can do ? And how many days his wound will heal? Thanks
Try to find a local breeder with handfed babies if at all possible. Handfed babies are often much easier to tame than pet-store birds. It'll possibly be more expensive but far more worth it.
So far my jackdaw (semi able to fly with damaged digits) in his first almost year he's been attacked by a pair of crows but escaped to the floor. He's had a run in with a similar sized male jackdaw,that after kikoshi (daughter named him kikoshi) came to the hand, the aggressor flew and landed at the side of me, kikoshi and another guy... Twice! The second it acted like a kestral and stalled/hovering before going to the park/grass area .. I'm guessing hierarchy sorting. We get rooks and magpies all day and they are chill together.. Black birds, he watches them and Robins daily.... And will walk with the blackbird. Saw his first flying raven 2 days ago.. That makes us both
On a side note.. (2019) summer had a lame/snapped leg jackdaw come in... Vodka! Snips, and a rubber foot were done in the first week.. After a few weeks it was out over night and I thought had been eaten... Feathers!! But no foot. Well, seems we have a one legged semi friendly jackdaw here the last few days....... ADAM??
I'm sure you've already seen this but I'd be curious on your thoughts about this situation. Lord knows I would have freaked out way more than this woman. I think she held it together pretty well and staying in the same spot was a good idea. I suspect the bird instinctively knew he needed to stay higher than the hawks to maintain a safe position and that delayed his recall. You guys do this all the time so I'm curious what you would do in this situation. ruclips.net/video/v-SKhU9xKaw/видео.html
He is fine being around me as long as his buddy is there but without him he freeks out . It would be a pleasure if u can help cause he was my best friend.
I'm not so sure how Ravens will benefit all that MUCH from a eagle, hawk or falcon kill to justify all that work..., FROM what I see they don't leave anything behind or even eat it on the ground,, yes maybe scraps....but how do birds of prey eat,, it's not like owls who swallow it all , but do they pick out what they want and leave the carcass on the ground...??? I mean that's what he's suggesting.... BY CONTRAST, I'VE SEEN OTHER CORVIDS LITERALLY HELP An ANIMAL ATTACKED BY A HAWK BY LITERALLY PECKING AT IT WHILE ITS TRYING TO GET THE PREY IN THEIR MOUTHS AND HAVE IT DIE,, I'VE SEEN MAGPIES DO IT.
not be binge watching all your videos even though i know ill never be able to have a parrot. I love birds but i know my lifestyle isnt right to be a bird mom.

What bird do you have

Aww do you hold and train and keep them active
Yeah I do he's called rio and he's green and black he super cute im still teaching him to fly to me
Do u have a bird ? And if so what type
love these vids they are so amazing i want more luv the intro
At 8:27 you talk about gunshot sounds. Your thoughts on training Parrotts using a BLANK / STARTER'S PISTOL ?

Exactly. Raptors hunt invasive (Alexandrine) parrots in the city. Amazons and Macaws are on the menu when they travel to North America. Not just juvenile but adult Raptors also see a easy meal when something exotic looking or a colored tourist bird like a pet is in their sights so I WOULD NOT RISK IT. And the crows only take on raptors in groups they are not dummies (;
Hi! I was wondering if you parrot pellets works for different types of birds such as canaries? Thanks!
Love yalls videos! My flock of 8 (soon to be 9 😳😳) watch with me all the time!!!!
Hi birdtricks . I have five parakeets and all of them are tamed. Well one of them has a problem . He loves being with his buddy parakeet but whenever I play with him or take him out of the cage without his buddy parakeet he freaks out and starts thumping and becomes streamlined. This has been happening for the past few months . Initially when I tamed him he loved being around me with or without his buddy but now he stresses out when he sees me . How do I fix this cause I really need help .
Start working with the buddy and when he gets millet the other will start to wonder why and most likely interact again.
I’m curious. When you pet a birds head/neck feathers, are you only touching their feathers or their skin too? Does it depend on the bird and what they like?
When I pet my budgies and doves I stroke their neck and yes I do touch there skin whilst doing it but i don't know if it's just me that does it or not..haha
In my area we don’t have falcons they are so scary
What treat do you use to train your bigger birds
My puppy was taken by a juvenile hawk. Never even saw it coming and was right there too.. I take my bird with me everywhere and this is my biggest fear. I feel like the only way to truly protect her is to keep her in a cage which she hates.
I want to free fly my buggie but I'm worried about the predators in Minnesota
I live in America
@Wattle ok
HELP SOS ! LOL . I HAVE A 35 YEAR OLD MALE SULPHUR CRESTED COCKATOO.
AS LOVING AND TAME HE IS , NO WAYYYYY WILL HE LET ME PUT A HARNESS ON. I LOVE MY BOY SOOOOOO MUCH I WANT TO TAKE HIM TO THE PARK ON MY SHOULDER ON A REGULAR BASIS. HE DESERVES IT.
IF I HAVE HIS WINGS CLIPPED SHORT ENOUGH WOULD IT BE OK ? I LIVE IN A AREA WHERE THERE ARE NO FALCONS
BUT RED TALL HAWKS AND THE OTHER TYPE OF HAWK AS WELL AS THE SMALLER TYPE ( GOUSHAWK ?)
WILL IT BE SAFE TO TAKE HIM OUT ?
I WILL HAVE TO STILL BE ON MY GAURD
FOR THREATS FROM ABOUT AS WELL AS DOGS BEING WAKED WITHOUT LEASHES BUT I THINK THE RISK IS LOW. I WOULD ALSO BE CARRYING PEPPER/BEAR SPRAY JUST IN CASE.
I UNDERSTAND IT WOULD NOT BE A GOOD IDEA IF IT WAS A SMALLER, LIGHTER PARROT THAT MAY STILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL OF FLYING OFF MY SHOULDER BUT COCKATOO'S ARE ARE PRETTY HEAVY TO FLY WHEN WINGS ARE CLIPPED. ANYONE CAN
HELP ME ? IS IT A DEFINITE NO NO ?
Wow
Hi
Love you brother sister from Your own country Pakistan 😘 love scarlet macow 😘
she doesnt have any scarlet macaws. i think you might be referring to her camelot macaws?
I need someone's help here! Last day my parrot (lovebird) cut himself i her toe and we stopped the bleeding, until now he cant walk properly in two feet and he sleeps at the bottom of the cage (sometimes laying down) do u have any tips that i can do ? And how many days his wound will heal? Thanks
Don’t you have an avian vet? I think this is a question for a professional.
@@spiritmatter1553 Definitely
Where should I a budige from a pet store or petsmart
Try to find a local breeder with handfed babies if at all possible. Handfed babies are often much easier to tame than pet-store birds. It'll possibly be more expensive but far more worth it.
@@KikiYushima Tysm but I don’t have anyone that are any breader near me so should I just buy it from a pet store
early!
i hope she likes my comment
So far my jackdaw (semi able to fly with damaged digits) in his first almost year he's been attacked by a pair of crows but escaped to the floor.
He's had a run in with a similar sized male jackdaw,that after kikoshi (daughter named him kikoshi) came to the hand, the aggressor flew and landed at the side of me, kikoshi and another guy... Twice! The second it acted like a kestral and stalled/hovering before going to the park/grass area .. I'm guessing hierarchy sorting.
We get rooks and magpies all day and they are chill together..
Black birds, he watches them and Robins daily.... And will walk with the blackbird.
Saw his first flying raven 2 days ago.. That makes us both
On a side note..
(2019) summer had a lame/snapped leg jackdaw come in...
Vodka! Snips, and a rubber foot were done in the first week.. After a few weeks it was out over night and I thought had been eaten... Feathers!! But no foot.
Well, seems we have a one legged semi friendly jackdaw here the last few days....... ADAM??
Second yess
I'm sure you've already seen this but I'd be curious on your thoughts about this situation. Lord knows I would have freaked out way more than this woman. I think she held it together pretty well and staying in the same spot was a good idea. I suspect the bird instinctively knew he needed to stay higher than the hawks to maintain a safe position and that delayed his recall. You guys do this all the time so I'm curious what you would do in this situation. ruclips.net/video/v-SKhU9xKaw/видео.html
He is fine being around me as long as his buddy is there but without him he freeks out . It would be a pleasure if u can help cause he was my best friend.
are we on there food chein.
No, birds of prey don’t see humans as food.
I'm not so sure how Ravens will benefit all that MUCH from a eagle, hawk or falcon kill to justify all that work..., FROM what I see they don't leave anything behind or even eat it on the ground,, yes maybe scraps....but how do birds of prey eat,, it's not like owls who swallow it all , but do they pick out what they want and leave the carcass on the ground...??? I mean that's what he's suggesting.... BY CONTRAST, I'VE SEEN OTHER CORVIDS LITERALLY HELP An ANIMAL ATTACKED BY A HAWK BY LITERALLY PECKING AT IT WHILE ITS TRYING TO GET THE PREY IN THEIR MOUTHS AND HAVE IT DIE,, I'VE SEEN MAGPIES DO IT.
not be binge watching all your videos even though i know ill never be able to have a parrot. I love birds but i know my lifestyle isnt right to be a bird mom.
