She gets so emotional talking about bandit.. I'm sorry ik it never gets easier 😭❤️
No it doesn't. 25 years with my macaw. He is safe and happy in his new flock.
@@AsifMehmood-gs5qm Beverly was agreeing with OP saying that it doesn't get easier. Read more carefully before making a response.
@@elchuzalongo4339 exactly.
I think about my little love bird all the time! She was my little buddy. I lost her last year.
Helen F. I lost mine over 10 years ago and still makes me sad
Hey, we could use a cage cleaning tutorial! Showcase that pressure washer!
I know two things: first, if I were a bird I would want to be a bird at your house. Second, when I get a bird I will be using your feeding system and toys. I admire the work you do, and the passion you have for the birds and the people who choose to share their lives with birds.
bar spacing!! so so important. never even thought of it until my poor cockatiel had a night fright and his whole wing somehow got stuck between the bars of his cage. my half asleep ass was so panicked trying to gently feed it back through. we said goodbye to that death cage the next morning.
Wait did he survived??? 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
@@Stella-rv6lt he was fine! luckily I woke up to him panicking and was able to help him get his wing free. I'd hate to think how he would have been if he was stuck there all night ☹ I just realised how the end of my comment sounded, about the death cage.. sorry if I worried you!!
I feel for you as I can see the loss of Bandit is still so painful for you. I’m giving you a mental hug now. Capri had definitely made leaps and bounds with the flock. She’s amazing with them. Your aviaries work fantastically well. You have thought it out and there are happy birds inside them. As a non bird owner they seem very content. Just please take care and stay safe.
Yesterday I got a gift from my uncle.. It's a 15 day old baby cockatiel. I asked my uncle for a bird because your birds are so cool and your toucan video where he was cleaning his beak made me fell in love with him and all other birds. But when he gave it to me I didn't expect him to give me a baby one and the first thing I thought was I'm not ready for this. But I still accepted because he told me that he'll guide me. He has a background with taking care of birds and chickens. He told me how to handfeed it and the do's and don'ts and even gave me a 1 hour lecture about the birds and the cockatiel specially. I'm really excited for this new chapter in my life. I probably won't even imagine owning a bird if I haven't seen your videos. I'm really thankful for finding your channel and the videos you put up like this video which will be helpful for the future cage and/or aviary of my lil' baby.. xoxo
@Hat Dog, that’s awesome!!! I have a cockatiel as well. They are great birds. Make sure that when the tiel is weened that you start feeding it veggies and a good pellet and know that this community is also here to support you in your journey with your cockatiel.
With 15 days, they still belong to their mother.
Sandra P my uncle told me that he/she was pulled out of her parents because one of them started plucking the pinfeathers so my uncle decided to remove the parent bird that is plucking the pinfeather and left only one but he says that the one bird that was left didn't feed he/she enough. He told me that maybe for the reason the other bird was not feeding him/her enough is that the previous owner of the pair used to take their babies once they are 10 days old. But for the plucking one he is still trying to find the cause.
Edit: this is the first baby of the pair since uncle got them
Crystal O'Kelly will do! Thank you for the support! 🥰
Congratulations, birds improve lives!
My parents are trying to find a bigger house, and IT HAS to have a back yard so I can make an aviary for my amazon parrot, I have been dreaming of an aviary for EVER! This video is super helpful! LOVE UR CHANNEL! :D Keep up the good work
Sounds amazing. I'm planning on staying at my house, but I think when my brother moves out he might have a big backyard and I think I might ask him to keep the octagon aviary there. I don't know, he seems like he might not enjoy that much, but he might also really like birds by then and maybe have his own. It depends. Right now it's not working. Also, you get that new house yet?
@@juliusroman8616 No :cc my parents said looking for the perfect house is hard. They are waiting for the prices to go down to somewhere more affordable for us.
Putting the big rolls of butcher paper next to the cages, was a clever idea!
I love that you obviously adore your birds, you are a really good example of the correct level of dedication to your animals. Endless applause 👏
4:36 She is so lucky to have you. You are the best . And also, how can I forget those aviaries? IT IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZINGGGGG I LOVE IT.ITS EVEN MORE THAN PERFECT.
Seeing you well up about bandit really helped me so thank you for not editing that out 💖 I’d also like to thank you for this video it’s like you read my mind 😂 thank you for this channel I just wish my family would be onboard with all the changes I want to make but I won’t stop trying. Your such an inspiration. Thank you thank you thank youuuu 💖🦜
Hi, I’m writing this to you just to let you know how grateful I am for you and Dave (and even Capri) for helping me with the food transition of my two cockatiels and target training one of them. I couldn’t have done it without you guys and I’m so grateful I found your channel. Keep up the good work guys!! Ps Capri is the cutest and a future bird trainer. Just like her parents! 😘😘😘😘😍😍😍🥰🥰
Hey, i also have a cockatiel and im transitioning his diet to chop. How is it working out for you so far? Any tips?
Lara Osman my cockatiels are really picky so I haven’t tried chop I’ve just tried pellets but I would make birdie bread and add in the chop
I love seeing stuff like this! :)
I think you touched on a really important thing Jamie, even if it was hard ❤️ complacency kills, we should never become complacent in our care, thinking that the way it is is fine indefinitely and that new things can't be learned. We should always keep learning, keep updating our knowledge so we can't provide the best we can ❤️ give your fids a squeeze and a kiss for me
Jamie, I remember last summer when you and Dave had cement poured for the bottom of the cages. I also remember about the wheels and am glad that has worked out really well for you. I was also curious if you ever talked to the cage manufacturer about your disappointment with the quality of what they sell now. I'm asking because I used to work for a Fortune 500 management consulting firm, and the one thing I kept hearing when a problem had occurred, how communication had broken down between the customer and upper management i.e. They weren't informed about the problem. Most companies want to do right by their customers. Im so impressed how much you strive to make your birds healthy, happy and content, and it shows. So sorry to see how much you miss Bandit, but I believe with all my heart he comes to visit often. Magic I believe has a way of showing us there is more to life than just the five senses. Great video, Thanks for sharing.
Dave here... We did communicate with the original manufacturer... a lot... from 2002-2017, but the quality just got worse. They were actually quite difficult to deal with and emotionally it became too taxing. To them it was just a cage, but for us it is about the quality of life and safety of our parrots. We now are actively referring customers to Corners Limited. www.cornerslimited.com. They're the ones that make that really big cage, but everything is customizable and the quality is great!
Youre soo cuute!! 😹 “its gonna sound gross, inspecting their poop” *weird face while saying it* duude any pet owner ought to be doing this!! Hahah
or parent of a baby. basically we all need to inspect some other creatures poop at some point in our lives.
Oh this is exciting. I built a huge outdoor aviary for my blue and gold and it’s entirely bespoke. I love seeing how others care for their birds and give them the space they need
I get choked up too when I think about my bird that passed away. These little guys are like our kids.
I alredy buried sixteen of my feathered children in our backyard. It never gets easier...
I'm an Aussie & the beautiful pink galahs are native to Aus. Galahs are very common to see, at least once a day I see at least a few or a large flock of them. I have a koala forest 6 doors down & I can hear galahs in there as I'm writing this now. They're often seen on grass paths next to our roads. I live in a beautiful coastal town that has many beaches. I walk my dogs on the beach early mornings & often see galahs on the sand. I have a few pics I've taken of them on the sand, wish I could share them here!
Idea!! Regarding the paper waste. Maybe a rubber type mat that can be pulled out and pressure washed off even in the winter
As an Australian I appreciate you calling them Gallahs instead of Rose Cockatoos. Good on ya!
I’ve never heard them be called rose cockatoos, uk here!
Your parents have a big, beautiful garden... do they compost? It seems like the butcher paper might be compostible, then it wouldn't be wasted.
It might have a wax coating on one side which is not compostable/recyclable
Hey, i'm really new here, but I wanna let you know, that feelings after a big lost are absolutly part of loving with all you have! Sending you honest greets from Germany.
Yall do what you love for a living, everyone's dream!! My wife loves yall so much, you guys inspired her to become a bird rescuer. She says one bird a time and everything lol. Yall keep up the good work, you are appreciated!!! Much love from Texas!!
It was absolutely beautiful when your daughter had the birds. I love her passion for them, just like you.🌹
I love the waddle when birds walk! ❤️
Good evening, first of all I want to thank you for always providing wonderful videos you and your husband. They have help me a lot with my 6 babies. I just finished watching this video about the aviary Tour, once again very informative. Thank you for all that you do.
Jamie, I love watching your videos. You always make me smile even if I have a bad day. My bird watches you too. Very intently!!! Just love you!
Wow those are so amazingggg! I hope to build an aviary for my sun conure, I’m sure he’d love it!
Constructed a veg/herb/micro greens garden in various sizes plastic crates for my African Grey. Use it to hide her food/treats - makes an awesome foraging playstation. Easy to replace crates once she has "trimmed" the plants down. Keeps her well excercised and entertained. Installing a waterfeature come summer time (we in southern hemisphere)
Due to your suggestion we took Racal Cockatiel to vet Lisa Hsuan near us. Most of her questions about his health were about how much sunlight he gets. It is so very important, and really affected Gabriel my husband because he did not recognize how much this meant for Rascal's health. On poop: since we started being more consistent with the big meal in the morning (your pellets and some seed) and evening (your year round feeding system) we have a different problem. Rascal has these massive (for a cockatiel) poops in the morning and evening and almost none in the 15-20 minute range most cockatiels have.
Am going to get it tested, however I really feel it is due to when he takes the food in and lets it out.
Good job on the aviaries!
The paper roll idea is freaking genius.
Love your set up it’s awesome! I honestly felt your pain when you spoke about Bandit😓 you guys are the best with your birds the care and love you give them is amazing and a great learning tool for us all.💜💜
I've had my Amazon for 42 of his 43 years and he hates going outside! He gets so stressed out he gets "bitey" and he has bitten down to the bone on someone's finger, so I get very nervous and cautious myself when he's like that. I've had the opportunity a couple of times to have him outside in a large aviary, but he kept getting down and banging on the door until I let him back in the house.
He also hates hats and one of the 3 times he's bitten me is when I came back from a trip and was still wearing a Tilley hat when I reached in his cage to pick him up. It was the first time he'd ever bitten me since I owned him for at least ten years by then, and I'm not sure who was more surprised him or me. He needed major cuddling for about 10 minutes while I was bleeding all over from a major finger wound! LOL It took me a few days to figure out it was the hat that caused the problem.
We have a cage from Corners Limited and love it! We got the cage from my boyfriend’s parents but needed a new tray. The people were super nice and got us a new tray for the base of our cage.
I use butcher paper on a moveable plywood base (4'X8') (better protection for my house floor where my aviaries are) and I just go in and roll up the paper and waste and put it into a compost pile. It is completely compostable and there is no waste if you can set up a compost out of the way in the backyard.
I woke up this morning and found my bird on my head, this is actually new for me cause I just got her 7 days ago
I so feel your pain, while talking about the sand and Bandit💖 He had the best life ever!
Love the Capri-cam! Well done Capri💖
To see our birds happy and to know that we do our absolute best when it comes to our animals, that is the best feeling🐦🐥
Dammmmm I bet she paid at least 5 bands for all those cages, dis lady deserves to take care of these birds she knows how to care for dem 💯💯
That idea with the butcher paper is GENIUS!
Great info! My cockatoos are terrific at tearing up paper on the bottom of cages! My bird store owner has used the brown rolls of paper for the in-store cages. He has done this years and it works great.
Aw you got so emotional talking about bandit....I’m so sorry for your loss 🥺
I just built my own 2m long and 1m wide cage for my agp, and she's loving it 🥰
Hi Jaime i find using a metal sheet at the botton of aviaries much easier and less wasteful. I hated changing out paper. Now i slide out the metal sheet sweep away debris and pressure wash it. Good as new. I could imagine it might take you a bit more time with having more aviaries, but it is less wasteful. Just an idea. :)
Looks like ur sun conures like Capri alot nice to see...
I wish I had alot of land to put lots of aviarys outside. I have one on my deck.
I love how much you care about your birds and bandit was a very nice bird and you could never forget him, I get that, but you do the best for your birds and I love how you always want to give your birds the biggest aviaries I would love to have a bird but sadly I am not allowed to have one, currently I am building my own aviary for my friend who has a turquoise green cheek conure :) LOVE YOUR VIDS!!!!
I almost got choked up myself when you talked about Bandit. It shows how much you care and it says so much about you guys, which is why I think I love your videos so much. I'm 42 years old and had animals all my life so of course I've dealt with a few deaths and I can't talk about any of them without being a mess, so I totally understand you, it really doesn't feel that it gets easier unfortunately.
You are an awesome bird mom! God bless you and your beautiful birds! 🦜 ❤️
Thank you for this video. I was looking for ideas for an out door Aviary. Love you guys. I recommend you to everyone I know, that has birds. ❤
14:04 did she just woah
YOUR BIRDS ARE STUNNING AND THE AVIARIES ROCK WOW
GOD has such an amazing imagination, the colors beauty, and the fact that can mimic, talk, and sing amazing
My pineapple green cheek conure started screaming when he heard your sun conures
I'm enjoying your videos because they are realistic. When you are working with a parrot that doesn't respond the way you expect, that's my parrot and the problem I've had. I tried to use the tapes that were put out when it was just your husband and his brother, but my birds did not respond like the birds they showed. Your problem solving as you tape have been invaluable to me. I just wanted to say thank you for doing these videos and making them available for free.
As a dog person..checking their poop is essential to! Especially when on a raw diet. You can see if they had too much of one thing one day. Also for client dogs it’s how you are 100% sure the dog did not get into things it shouldn’t have, or is okay with whatever food or reward you give.
You probably don't check comments here anymore, but an idea I had for instead of the paper under the aviaries is to use some sort of stronger material you can clean and the birds can't destroy.
1) Vinyl flooring rolls, usually for garages. Either cut them into sizes that fit between the wheels or cover the whole area in it and put the aviaries on top.
2) Chair matts are pretty durable, maybe if you can find some in bigger sizes
The butcher paper setup is genius
I love ❤️ the video of the way you care for your birds😊❤️. It’s so nice to see they have so much space. I love ❤️ the birds. The Toucans are beautiful as all the birds. I love 💕 their colorful look. 😊😉. So cool 😎 to watch. I wish I could see them up close. They bring me smiles n laughter n enjoyment. So intelligent. I know this is a silly question but I’m guessing the Toucans don’t talk? I notice the sounds they make. I love ❤️ all the birds. So beautiful n also learn a few things about them that I didn’t know. I know it’s time consuming n you really have to put 100% attention to them.
That’s great that you can move the birds around so they can get a better look around n not look at the same thing all the time.😊. You’re just wonderful with your birds! 😉😎. Your heart ❤️ is big n made of gold. ❤️😉😍😊
The butcher paper is GENIUS!!!!!!!
You could put like wire that the birds can’t get through on the bottom of your cages to stop them shredding the paper, but I also like the way you have them able to get on the ground, it’s just a suggestion to think about I like it with my bird, but I love that yours can get onto the ground and grass if you moved it to the grass😊
I’m so SO very sorry for your loss of Bandit.
Your current aviary situation is my DREAM/GOAL! I want to have a big backyard and garage FOR this very same setup!! It's just very hard considering I live in Los Angeles so it don't come cheap! 😭
I love how your daughter is so mature
i want a big size indoor aviary for my budgies I love that it gives so much space to fly and climb around!
Love these type of videos. It's nice to see some nitty background work.
Hello Jamieleigh, I recently purchased the toy box from you guys. I love and appreciate all those videos you share with everyone, ty so much and God Bless you and your loveones.I own two Quackers and one Janday-Conure. Hopping to get soon a Macaw, I live in Puerto Rico and love,love,love animals, besides the birds we own 7 dogs❤😁
You could use large plastic tarps (like builders use) to go under your aviaries and when you move them you could just power hose them off. Kinds regards from the UK and all keep safe.
I LOVE YOUR TUCAN!! I love toucans one of my favorite birds!
You are such an amazing bird mama, I see and feel your pain when you are talking about bandit, I can tell it was very difficult but important to mention that... and I feel the same about my fur babies. Such a big and pure heart. Love your channel and all that you do. Stay wonderful, I will sure contact you if I need help with my bird in the future
YAY! I love these types of videos. Can you please make more videos about conures? Thanks for the awesome videos!
Had fun captioning this project... Great work.
Hello Jamieliegh, great Setup!! (Lot of lovee from INDIA ❤❤❤❤)
U take such good care of ur birds u are such an amazing person and ur birds are very lucky to have u as their bird owner 🤍❤️
Just now dropping here.I love to watched your videos about the birds.
Might check around to see if anyone can make customize plastic trays to go under. Pull out, sweep off, and then power wash. Will take a little more time, but less waste and a one time purchase. Plexiglass might work.
The birds can chew through that and will (they’ve gone to town on various plastic travel carriers) so I don’t fully trust that material but great thought. The plexi glass may work though. 🤔
Your birds are soo happy. You are the best bird owner.
Have you ever considered rotating them over a part of your yard like a rabbit or chicken tractor? No clean up necessary(except for chunks of toys)and will fertilize your grass. You move each cage to a new spot in a grid pattern (like you have in your garage).
I use clear office chair mat under mine large wet/dry vac for toy bar then roll off to power wash. No paper waste. Or you can use 5x8 sheets of plexiglass. Good luck
Barf
This is so amazing! I'm getting a bird soon, you inspired me so much! Thank you!!
My bird Cricket loves to shred the paper on the bottom of her cage. She is a shredder.😁
I love you 😍 , and your videos have helped me so much when taking my finches
All the conures are always with Capri! By the way Capri is so cute😁I am also a girl who loves birds
it hails where i live what if i keep them in my garage?
You're amazing! I love Birdtricks!
You're a very good mom. We have all four seasons also.
I like to get them out during the summer too.
I like the sun, they must too.
Fantastic enclosures 💛 You are such an inspiration!!
It's so cute seeing your daughter playing with the birds! It's so cute!
Also: I let my birds play outside often, and I like to keep their cage outside sometimes when it's nice out, but my neighbors (who rlly don't have any knowledge about let's or birds) keep complaining saying birds should never be outside and now they're threatening to calla animal control of we keep doing it so like I don't know what to do. I guess I can't take them outside as often as I used to :
Best of luck to you
I’m slavering for a floor cage for my biggie so he can have more play space :D
Composting is the answer. Paper, bird poop, toy pieces (since they are not plastic) and dropped food can make great compost.
I love the Capri-cam! I also can’t wait to see Blueberry’s set up when it or finished.
I convert EVERYTHING to having wheels:) Harbor Freight has a great selection, and great sales especially with the 20% off coupon. Home Depot has a pretty good selection with good prices as well. I am a thrift store junkie and find myself attracted to things that have wheels like a bird is attracted to shiny things. On something that falls apart or breaks or is just not wanted anymore, I will rescue the wheels/casters. Very important safety note...use wheels that can lock, so no ones leans against something or goes to sit and it scoots out from under them. The guy who put you on wheels did a great job., something on that scale def a professional need. I don't have birds, so am just talking about general furniture or planters that I put wheels on, but the joy in how easy it is to move anything, is shared! !I would say always pay extra for getting wheels in you can, it is worth it. Target sells a pack of four 3-4 inch casters , two with locks (locking wheels go on diagonal corners for stability) on the aisle that sells wire shelving units, for $14, Lowe's has em for $20, probably same price at Home Depot. I love all you do Jamie! I had a coclatiel as a kid, and would love a bird but won't because of the education you provide on what it is really like, so thank you thank you for sharing. I got to see flocks of Cockatoos in the neighborhoods of Victoria, AU .What a treat for this American who at the time (2000) just knew them as "Baretta Birds"...my AU friends just called them pests. That show sadly probably put too many birds in homes as a whim. (Google it , kids) I got started watching you after getting hooked on Gotcha the Cockatoo...Katie is so soft and gentle and safety minded like you. First thing I noticed is that bird girls have pink and purple hair:) I got to spend time up close with the large parrots in Corpus Christi, TX, worked for Marie Colson who must have had 40-50 birds. I saw quite a few pet birds in trees down there, the climate sorta tropical, I guess they could handle the weather there better than other areas. I think it is interesting you and Gotcha's mom live in northern states. You both bring warmth and sunshine to so many through your videos. Thank you for sharing the education and safety so clearly and honestly,, and sharing the joy of these birds.
My conure was dancing and pecking the screen while watching this
Aw honey you were great with Bandit. I’m so very sorry it still gets emotional for me too when I lost my first Jenday ❤️they never leave our hearts and minds
You have wonderful set ups! The birds are so happy!
Wow Jamie. You remind me of a younger me which being young had so much energy, not to mention I HAVE TO have my home in order which means everything has its place etc etc.
I hope this vidio finds you someone who has a great new idea for the poop issue as I know that would drive me crazy because only after a few poops I would be wanting a clean sheet of paper laid down. Looking at how you keep your home reflects on how you take care of everything in your life
It makes life so much more easier when things are in order right!
I felt so bad for you when you brought up Bandit trying so hard to pull back on your emotions
Hopefully somebody who like you living with a family of birds with similar confusions has something new and fresh to share with you moving forward.
On a side note, Wow does Rocky eat all that fruit in 1 day? It looked so yummy.
I am so glad you found out it wasn't PDD that is such a relief. Bittersweet butter relief in terms of the other birds and your birds in the future. I don't think we'll ever get over losing our Greys 💔
I've been watching your channel for a while. You are a good person, mother, and animal carer. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
I love your aviarys, I am saving up for a home one day and want to provide them a big cage like yours! My daughter likes seeing your daughter play with the birds in your videos, she's about the same age :) And that butcher paper idea is GREAT!!
The birds are so lucky to have you. You are such a amazing person
There is compostable butcher paper. You could look into getting that. Alternatively, if it's not illegal in your state, since you live in an open area, you could get or make a burn barrel to burn the paper. If you can find it big enough though, the compostable would be the most eco-friendly, I think
