I just wanted to say thank you!! I was considering getting a bird then I watched your videos went to a bird store and interacted with them to see how I how enjoyed it... I realized it wasn’t for me... so thank you for saving me $ and stopping a bird from getting into the “system”. We are getting a second dog instead!!
Great post. I also choose not to buy because of all the past few years of watching, learning and plenty of homework. Mostly it's about being REAL and Honest with yourself and even more important is my love for these magnificent exotics and never be that next one that decided to late. I actually got pretty depressed about my decision for abit and still hurts but my saving grace was to volunteer and also maybe Fostering one as a jumping off point to the best home for this bird. Between Jamie and Dave and parote playhouse April I learned the most and Sincerely honest advice anyone could ask for. So like you I'm very grateful to this wounder Team " Bird Whisperers " Jamie and Dave from birdtricks. Ya!!!. 👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍💙🧡❤💝💝.
Awesome, thanks for not putting another bird into the system. I'm also living vicariously through Bird Tricks and a few other channels. They are amazing animals, but soooo long lived. It's like committing to raise a 3 yr old for a human lifespan!
@@Texas240 Heh, no problem . I dont often responds to other posters unless I feel a kinda connection and its great to hear about the SAD Mistakes that cost both a great deal of upset and hurt, and of coarse the birds take the greatest hit like all animals as they dont have a voice. I started my journey checking out several utubers with birds but quickly found the few that like you o follow simply because they are awesome dedicated people with a ton of great info for those who really want to do the right thing. So hats off to us 🥰 and we can continue being happy watching those gorgeous birds. All thr best to you and yours through the holiday season. 🎄.
Dave & jaime i have a blue & gold black throated macaw name.d wonka . My two friends eddie & angel are actually the owners but they got a dog named fitty & eddie & angel started paying a little bit to much attention to fitty than wonka and the bird got pissed and started ( I guess ) looking for someone to be its lover ,its a lady bird . I've been around wonka for 2 years . The bird is about 20 years old . I learned alot from you're show $ others about doing alot of research before even thinking about getting a bird ( 100 hrs ) all three of us decided to let the bird go live with me . For the longest time wonka intimidates the holy hell out me . Bit the shit out of me damn they bite harder than f- - - !!! . Anyway me and wonka are getting along alot better now, she only bites me 2 times a day .so I wanted to let you know that to own a dog you've got to be a cool SOB .but to own a bird you have got to be a super cool SOB !!! Damn straight !!!** and that's a fact Jack .
Yes definitely lol and they use those can openers to destroy around 6 toys a week chew of corners of your new coffee table and try to peel of wallpaper
My goodness, I can't get over how Jinx'ee blushes, and especially extra pink on the side facing you. He acts like a little boy whose head over heels making the cutest sounds. Always great to see the two of you hanging out together. Thank you for sharing.
He seemed super content when you were demonstrating walking around with him and putting him upside. He looks like he loves whatever attention you’re willing to give to him! Haha
I really like seeing this . Just u hangin out with him . Seeing the interactions him being him . Not him working . More casual laid back hangin out . I miss my Quaker he died from fatty liver disease from a poor diet from his prior owner
I found your channel last week, and you've taught me that a Parrot is not right for my home no matter how much I adore them. Thank you for being such a fantastic teacher. I am just going to enjoy your birds instead and go play with them now and again at the parrot sanctuary❤
Have you ever considered pigeons? Wonderful pets, they’re domestic and don’t have a lot of the cons most parrots have (noise, bites don’t hurt/rarely even bite, less pricey in general besides vet visits)
A FASCINATING insight to the pains and pleasures of owning a Macaw like Jinx. Your calm, confident expertise shines through ... and he is undeniably magnificent. I can fully understand why you tolerate and adore him.
I love that bird Jinx!!! He's the mischievous little boy who's so sweet & cute, and you just know you've been had, you're done, cooked, but you love him anyway.
Having your channel is a blessing! I've learned so much about nonverbal communication in birds, diet, hormonal behaviour... I'm really impressed by the quality of your content! Keep up the good work!!
I am so happy to have found you. It is so nice having somebody that truly understands big birds and is so full of knowledge and excellent advice with them. God bless you and your lovely family!
I found you a few days ago as you were taking care of Morgan. Morgan's story was the best thing ever. I'm not a bird guy. If I was 20-30 years younger, I would have the patience and time to train a macaw. Since I'm 50, I'm more of an aquarium/fish person. That's more my speed...so I can live vicariously through your birds.
He's a young, happy bird. Loving life and showing it every minute of every day. Be thankful for his screams, for his messes. For all that he does. Just think of what it would be like if he didn't scream or tear things up... he'd be a sick bird and we all know what happens to sick birds. So be thankful for all that he is. I know you are. You are a lovely person.
There have been days like that for all of us, where we feel like pulling our hair out and screaming. But you're right, we do get so much back. My little feather buddy is just like that. Big birds intimidate me, that's why I have a cockatiel. I asked for the most easygoing bird and I was paired with her. I thought she was funny looking with her orange circles on her face and yellow crest. Now. she is my best friend. Say aww here.
So, I learned Jinx is a bird...and his name is Jinx...apart from that there wasn't a lot except lots of petting and interaction! Was this a fail? Not even slightly! He's an awesome and beautiful bird who is obviously a handful. Well done, Jamie, for getting through this video and imparting how much you adore your flock 😊😊😊
I open doors and turn on light switches with my eclectus on my hand as well. He does spend time up against walls just like Jinx. I also pick up around the house, pour a ginger ale over ice and remove things like herbs and spices from my pantry for dinner prep while holding him. He always keeps his balance. My husband on the other hand babies him and gasps if our bird has to correct his balance. We handle our birds very differently.
jinxy is one very special super intelligent bird just looking at him you can tell, just imagine it he couild talk , im ean realy talk he would blow our minds ,,,,,, love you jinxy your special
When you said you like to go incognito and carry Jinx upside down by your side to hotels, I thought, but surely with all that energy he must be your loudest bird...and then you confirm it in the end. 😂
Hi, JamieLeigh. Jinx is adorable!!! He's so funny with you, I just love it! My cockatiel, Beenie is a little pain in the neck and needs constant attention. We love each other and need each other. That's probably not the best behavior of course. I never trained him much. But I just love him so much. Thanks for showing Jinx. He is a lot of fun to watch with you. Love, big hugs, birdie kisses. Barb, Beenie, Baby spirit :)))
I just ❤️ the fun, irritating conversation interaction you have with this guy here. Like his just as fun as he is frustrating ! ❤️❤️ the interaction 👌👍👌😍
omg jinx with the stay still challenge! he was pretty still before and the second you said go he started twitching all of the place!! i love him so much!! and i love his sweet little voice!!
jinxy is the most special macaw in the whole galactic unjverse,so intelligent so lovable.and jamie leigh so special for training him and giving him so much love
I LOVE this video! I like to see you just having fun, and being goofy with one of your birds, and not being in work mode. You're so sweet, and funny! I would love to see more of this goofy, funny side of you! ❤💋
We love seeing your videos with Jinx! We have a 2.5 year old female blue throated macaw named Zazu and a 1 year old male red fronted macaw named Raja. Zazu definitely reminds me of Jinx, she is super touchy, mouthy, and goofy. She always wants to be close/on me, even if she is just preening in my lap. Meanwhile Raja is happy as can be playing on his stand all by himself 🙂 She can be a handful and frustrating, but so rewarding at the same time ❤️
i love his little surprised scream and his woo the most, so adorable. i love watching birds talk but owning one would be wayyyyy too much for me, i get my fill through youtube vids
Great bird you so lucky hyacinth macaw is the best, i saw a deep bright blue that has a bright yellow eyeliner around its eyes once, so beautiful.. im in love with macaw since then
"...'cause I'm the one who spends all the time with..etc." That was totally unexpected coming from you but still and because of that, funny. Your Vlogs are always informative and often, amusing. All I need now is a bird!
I'm a little late to the game but I have a female blue throat (Lola), she turns 10 this year and she is definitely not that hyper/active haha. Nor is she much of a screamer (fingers crossed that doesn't change) or very destructive, but she is pretty touchy. Anyway, I love your videos and thank you for putting out such amazing and educational content!
My McCaw "Dollybird" is about 30 years old, She is a friggin' Clown! they are definitely smart and are great company too, and Yes they can bite the crap out of you. Dolly blushes when she's excited, it's pretty cool.
First thing I noticed on this video: Jinx is blushing like hell there on your shoulder, lol. I know very, very little about Parrots but I did manage to learn that from your channel. :-) 7:42 - "Do YOU wanna be touched this much?" Jinx - "... ... uh... YEAH."
Just found your channel. Love the videos, entertaining and very informative. Your love for and your connection with birds just shines!

I never knew Macaws could blush. That tripped me out so much. How friggin cool! It's sweet how much he loves you too. Lol
me either, I was shocked when I found out.
Awwww❤❤
Long story short parrots are toddlers with can openers on their face
Love your choice of words.👍👍.
@@kathleenadriaensen7129 thanks!
That can fly
Yes definitely lol and they use those can openers to destroy around 6 toys a week chew of corners of your new coffee table and try to peel of wallpaper
I don't remember where I first heard this phrase, but it has always been my favorite for describing what it's like having a macaw :)

4:34 "pet the Bubba"
-Jinx
Jinx is my fav. On camera, he seems to have the most personality.
My cats name is Jynx & he heard you on this video say Jynxy, so he came over & sat by me & we watched your whole video together!!
Aw that's so cute and funny
Thats so cute!
Awww
"Let's have a stay still challenge. Go!"
Jinx: *dances*
woo! new record! jinx made it nearly halfway to a count of one! lol
I really like seeing this . Just u hangin out with him . Seeing the interactions him being him . Not him working . More casual laid back hangin out . I miss my Quaker he died from fatty liver disease from a poor diet from his prior owner
Jinx is actually my favorite of the flock he’s such a goofball and fluff monster 😂❤️ not to mention when he says bubba it’s the cuttttttest
Jinx is an absolute goof. Love him

7:40 - Do *you* wanna be touched this much?!"
I swear to god he said "OK!".
He is super affectionate! And what a personality!
jinxy still amazes me ,what a bird 4 years later would be amazing to meet him in person ,im sure i would cry , such a special macaw
A FASCINATING insight to the pains and pleasures of owning a Macaw like Jinx. Your calm, confident expertise shines through ... and he is undeniably magnificent. I can fully understand why you tolerate and adore him.
"Mom, love me! Play with me! Pet my face! I *need* attention!" -Jynx probably
Haha yes!
Jinx has so much personality and is so handsome! 💙💛
Oh, wow, baby Jinx is just the cutest thing ever!!!
I love that bird Jinx!!! He's the mischievous little boy who's so sweet & cute, and you just know you've been had, you're done, cooked, but you love him anyway.
Jinx is such an adorable bird. I love how you call him Bubba and he says it. Very cute.
When you said " what's your favorite color" it sounded like he said purple, lol Jinx is adorable!
Omg you’re right!
I heard that too
Why do I see you in the comments of 3very video I Watch? Its creepy 😳 😬 😐 😫 😩 😕

Wow. I've had this huge smile on my face throughout the whole video and it just won't go away. I didn't know I had such a love for parrots. 🦜❤️
This is truly amazing. he is so interactive, aware, and boisterous. Very touchy-feely, again, amazing.
Baby jinx is adorable
My Catalina is in love with Jinx. She likes watching bird videos but she gets super excited when she sees him. 😋

What a sweetheart Jinx is!
Thanks!
Im not sure why this appeared in my recommendations but it was a fun watch.
Hes BEAUTIFUL! seems like he's doing a robot dance move. Lolol love him..and u!
So interesting how he moves his head, like a robot ☺️ cute!

Saw a Macaw for adoption who was 53 YEARS OLD! Having these as a pet is on a whole other level...
Aww Jinx is a sweetie! Thank you for sharing him with us!! 💕💕 He’s silly 😂
This just helped us make sense of so much of our birds behavior!!!

Jinx is so precious!
I love when Jamie asked him the questions and Jinx would stop touching Jamie with his beak, but then look away and touch with his foot xD
