I had a female crow, she could talk and was quite a character. I found her as a baby in my driveway, she had been knocked out of a nest in a tall palm near the sidewalk. One of her older larger siblings pecked out her left eye. So I raised her myself, learning to mix baby bird food and feed her with and eyedropper. Very smart birds, crows and ravens. They like shiny things. Jemima (my crow) used to steal my wife's diamond earrings; She would usually stuff them in the couch in the back of the seat cushions. We kept finding them there, so she started hiding them in the moss under a plastic plant in a basket next to the couch.
Really loved that crow. I had her for about 4 years, before she flew off with a big black male crow. She did come back and show me her babies a couple months later.
\\][//
Okay, thank you for saving her, but who names anything Jemima. When I was 10 I used to tell other kids I had a sister named Jemima.
She took your wife's diamonds and you kept her?! You are my hero....
She left you for BBC.
I think this guy is fucking with us. Jemima? Big black crow? Lol sounds odd
Aunt Jemima runs off with the Big Black Jim Crow.... Classic.
A raven once followed me around my garden for a day and stayed by my side. He wasnt hurt or anything and even slept next to my bedrooms window. Never saw him again. Such smart birds though!
Luca Gruber - that has a special meaning. Lucky you.
You were used... lol
It's Odin
he stole your soul...
The stole your soul part is scary guys, I wouldn't tell that to anyone!
The raven seems like he wants food or something.
I just found your amazing channel. I raised a tiny naked Robin. All of the local vets and animal shelter told me to just put it out of its misery. Broken wing, no feathers waste of my time. Well I raised her and she lived for nearly 8yrs. I loved that amazing bird. Incredible creatures, never knew how smart they are.
Good for you! I'm sure your little Robin adored you.
Angela McAdams did her feathers ever grew?
Hamilton Armory I know a few worms who would disagree about robins being kind.
Angela McAdams Abusers should have their thumbs & kneecaps cut off with a dull chainsaw. And the chainsaw should quit every 15 seconds. Then they should be tie up & hung upsidedown on a bullet ant hill. And not permitted to die either. A little lesson from mother nature.
John L Bales. Jesus
Looks like that raven just told a joke and is waiting for a reaction.
Flornmonk If Groucho Marx was a bird, he'd have been a raven. I can just hear him delivering a punchline.
XD
Squaka squaka!
Flornmonk LMHO😂
Flornmonk lol
THIS LADY IS SO SWEET AND PURE AND SHE MAKES MY HEART WARM AND WE NEED MORE PEOPLE LIKE HER IN THIS WORLD
Amazing creatures! Rook is gorgeous! I have such a soft spot for ravens and crows.
poor raven at least someone could save him and give him a full life bless you
I like the idea of meeting all the animals.
I like the idea of meeting the redhead.
Nolan Thiessen m
lol!! more like pokemon....
*INREALWORLD*
not much fun, since they only do it one way...dig it??
i have a blue and gold macaw much like joy named calypso that went through similar experiences with an abusive owner. sadly, due to that he is very aggressive but recently i've been working with him a lot! he cannot fly because he was raised in captivity and never learned how. as a result he can't even open his wings. i don't know why i'm telling you this at all but i just felt like sharing.
+Rylan Marcø Good job!
How's he going?
Also with physical therapy he should be fine.
Seems a little illegitimate to me that he can't open his wings AT ALL, he needs to to stretch, to balance and to groom properly - he would have had problems with infections and bad feathers on the side and flank if he had no access at all.
Nothing seems much sadder if you ask me...to actually have WINGS to fly and have been made by humans to be too fearful to ever try again ...Seems like a good metaphor for many people with the same basic issue perhaps...?
that's very sad, and I hope it works out. I've never heard of a boy named Calyspo before!
Great work you're doing. The world needs thousands more like you.
This was such a great video! I love that you told everyone that you have been working for TWO YEARS with one bird and still are not done with the acclimating and training stage. So many people get animals based on what they see in videos and don't realize all the effort that went on behind the scenes!
Lovely to see your sensitivity and patience with these animals. All creatures deserve this respect and humility. We can learn so much from them!
The more you (anyone) live(s) with different animals the more you realize that, in many important ways, they really aren't all that drastically different than us and they're not that hard to understand if you're prepared to spend the time to learn and make the effort to learn.
A very wise observation mrFester42, very wise indeed !
regards,
Paz.
You are a very kind person, and I love how you treat your animals with respect and love!!! Thank you so much for being with these beautiful creatures!!! Hugs Joannie 🕊🕊🕊🕊🦅🦅🦅🦅🐾🐾🐾🐾🌷🌷🌷🌳🌳🌳🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀
I think you meen: "I hope you enJOYed getting a ROOK at these wonderful birds"
Oh the puns
meant.
•.•
she really gets animals and the way they think. respect
I love corvids so much, they're absolutely fascinating creatures. Have you seen the videos where crows and ravens are figuring out complex puzzles? I don't have links off the top of myhead, but I've seen several on RUclips. They'll solve multi-aspect puzzles where, for instance, they have to find rocks in their enclosure, then put those rocks into a container, raising the water level in the container to get their food, or having to use a stick to get another stick to use on yet another container, dragging their treat to themselves. It's amazing stuff!
Corvids are amazing birds! Here in the PNW we have scrub jays, and I like to interact with them. I believe they are as intelligent as crows, and likely similarly endowed, intellectually, as many Parrots.
Aha ye man, Corvids are awesome! I love the story behind the Raven... "Dude, this Raven is broken... let's take it away.. it aggressively attacks me from the ground instead of flying.."
When I found out he was called Rook, I though she meant the corvid species and not just a name for him.
I watched that video, and I was shocked!
Thank You Jesse , I admire you very much for helping animals in need.
I love Ravens and Crows
Eva Espinoza I love you hermosa
So nice to see and watch how much love and caring this lady is giving
i think you should do more videos with rook. i absolutely love ravens
Shaggy420 me too
I love how much you care and respect each and every animal that's in the program. Keep up the good work!!
This is really wonderful to see, thanks for all that you do in protecting animals.
You are amazing with these animals. You make the world a better place. Thank you.
This was a wonderful episode. I loved hearing about their stories, and how they are adjusting, and what their minds are capable of, and their eccentricities. I'm looking forward to more Meet and Greets!
I love the energy with which Jessi talks and takes keen interest in enhancing animal welfare. Jessi you are is a special person. God bless you Jessi.
wow this girl is so beautiful
You do an amazing service. Helping animals, and educating people.
Great energy in your videos- I can see kids loving them, but there is also enough information and education to keep an adult interested too. It's so nice to see people extending care to animals in need- good job!
God bless you guys. Thank you so much for being kind to all of the animals that you give a great life to.
This channel always continues to be a whole lot more than I expect.
Also I feel I am somewhat equal to Brook the raven in my acquisition of food gathering skills.
Not to brag, but I can cook a frozen pizza to perfection.
+Michael Block im watching you...
+Michael Block That's a really useful adaptation in the wild, but I'm concerned that those behaviors could make forming a trust bond with other humans more difficult.
Anyone could make a frozen pizza to perfection
I can nuke leftover Asian food like a Fat Man
I think you guys do a wonderful job. Animals are fascinating and Joy and Rook are simply gorgeous. I think they will have long and happy lives with you! Thanks for letting us meet them Jesi!!
That was incredible, and I hope this motivates others to perhaps donate to your amazing work when they may've hesitated before, Jessi. Getting to know who is there is endearing and I love watching you light up when you talk about them.
Bless you guys for caring for these creatures
This was great. I love birds.
Moonbeam who doesn't lol ;)
I could see that by your profile picture which is a porg 🙂
I really want to thank you for doing these great videos, and for rescuing all the animals that you save! My parents and I have, and have had, many rescues among us over the years, and I wouldn't have it any other way! 😊💚
Rook is an awesome name. Obligatory rooks can't move diagonally joke.
Really wonderful!! Love this. Thank you!
Your next Raven should be named Edgar :3
Quoth. Quoth the raven.
"Nevermore..."
+Austin Chu waka waka waka
Not very original. The nearby zoo has a pair of ravens names Edgar and Poe.
I can think of something less original, Huginn and Muninn
Thanks Jessie. What a great job you guys are doing!
Adult ravens are much more docile than teenage ravens.
Jules Woodbury
Teenage ravens and crows are known for messing with other animals. Teenage crows usually group in small murders, while adult crows are either alone cawing or with a mate. I've been studying a lone crow that constantly caws on a tree near my home until another crow came. Then they would usually just stay on the tree silently like statues near the afternoon.
Same as humans
The understatement of the year.😞
Poor joy, breaks my heart to think any animal was, or is, ever treated that way! I'm so happy that she has a forever-home now, and is being loved!
What a gorgeous woman ! Beautiful and compassionate about animals . ..rare breed
Your enthusiasm is wonderful, and very contagious.
To me this sounds like a little bit of a stupid questions but. Is rook aware that he is unable to fly?
witchy90210 Definitely. He really takes his time to look over a space and situation before he attempts to make a jump. He does really well considering he can't use his wing to help him keep balance, but he does make mistakes so I often wonder how old he is and how difficult it must be to relearn how to maneuver your body after such a big change. I like your question.
dkytbm To my knowledge, there aren't many vets who are willing/able to reset a calcified broken wing.
It's difficult as it is for specialized doctors to do this on humans. Imagine how much more complicated it would be to work with a bird wing. The bones are different (pneumatic instead of solid), and they have to be set extremely precisely to regain flight. If it is an imperfect reset, Rook could only be able to fly a little, which might lead to injury. It seems that he's acclimated quite well to not being able to fly, so it might be best to leave it at that. Sad, but practical.
dkytbm ShadeSlayer1911 is right. There's also the added complication of surgery being very difficult to perform on birds. Birds have to be monitored carefully under anesthesia, partly because their metabolism is much faster than mammals and they come out of it quicker, but also because the anesthesia can cause the bird to stop breathing altogether. If the vet can't get the bird breathing again, it'll die in seconds.
In addition to surgery being difficult and wing bones being difficult to set properly for flight performance, the procedure would be unnecessarily painful and recovery would be long... and it's still no guarantee he'd be able to fly again. We're talking about re-breaking and setting the bone, which is hard enough, but many wing breaks require the use of pins, screws, and plates to hold the bone together while it heals. The hardware would need to stay fixed to the wing for at least six weeks, if not longer (and have fun keeping an intelligent bird quiet and still during that time), and after being removed the bird would have to undergo months of physical therapy in order to even be able to open the wing after it was immobilized for so long.
Considering Rook's current quality of life, and how well he's adapted to his disability, it's actually kinder not to try and fix the wing further.
TheCassafrassTree Right, I didn't even think about the actual difficulty of putting a bird under and the recovery process. Hell, putting humans under is already a big risk, even for a procedure as simple as wisdom teeth removal. And we have anesthesiologists for that. We don't have such specialty for birds.
witchy90210 of course. Ravens are one of the most smartest things in the world.
its so great to see how much you guys care about these animals and their individual needs. can't wait till i'm able to support through patreon. hopefully soon!
Aww, that was nice.
I'm usually a little intimidated by Macaws like that since they're large and active with significant beaks and talons. I realize they have the hunting instincts of a doorknob but still.
tenou213 good note... a bird will always express if it doesn't want you near... backing away, pupils shrink, opening mouth.... all signs of "I'm uncomfortable, back off".... now I can't say they will every time but most birds give a warning bite first.... not intended to break skin, but pinch. I've been warning bit by a cockatoo and it was just a sharp pinch... I respected that he was uncomfortable and left him alone....
Joy is such a beautiful bird! it was nice to see her trusting and being carefree and happy after a troubled past
Was Rook's beak open because he was stressed out or is it from an injury?
xmorgan1123x He was a bit stressed and was trying to cool himself off by gaping. I think he did really well. He's definitely making progress with staying calm while being close to humans.
AnimalWonders Montana That's interesting. But I wonder, how do you know he was gaping in order to try to cool himself?
Francis Rammeloo birds can't sweat like we can so they pant with their beak open to cool down. I see crows doing it all the time.
I keep running into this channel so I subscribed! I also want to tell you that I admire you and the work that you do. Thank you so very much for dedicating so much of your life to animals that need the care and love. Thank you again!
I really like this idea. I want to meet every single animal you guys have!
I really love how much respect you have for your animals and how you treat them in a sense like equals. I understand the struggles you're having with Rook though, a few years ago me and my mom came across a pigeon with a missing wing, that was also being abused by a homeless person who I think was trying to end it's suffering. Since he's also wild it's been hard to figure out a way to really connect with him and keep him happy.
You are a fantastic teacher. Thank you so much.
I read comments below, and am amazed at how men always turn into 12 year old boys with the ridiculous marry me and you're hot etc.
you are pretty and smart and I am positive you have a life and do not need those type of comments.
Rest assured, many of us respect you and what you do.
Haha you are right but those men are half her likes! They aren't tuning in for Rook....
i'm here for anything bird related. i love birbs
I'm a an heterosexual man who clicked to see the raven. But Jessi seems amazing in every way.
Ohmygosh... Just how this channel doesn't have some 2M subs or so is beyond me.
So well explained... And so pretty!
I sure, hope that Rook is doing better. He, actually seemed fairly patient in the interview there. Let, us know how he is doing...
He was still very nervous by the looks of it, just not outright panicked. You can mostly see it from his beak being ajar without it being hot enough to actually warrant panting, and the general demeanour.
Very interesting... i rescued a raven many years back (we had an outside voliere, and my wife was biologist specialised on ravens/crows/blackbirds etc - so we had a permit) broken wing as well, so we fed him and when the day came to let him go he was fairly tame.. he took his sweet time to depart.. and a few days later returned and hopped on my arm as a final goodbye.. good memories.. i love ravens, and theyre most beautiful in the wild - not in a cage.
You are fantastic, thank you for all you do to enrich our understanding of animals and caring for them as well.
I think the sad past about having a arara (thats how we call this bird in my country) its the fact that most of them are stole from the nature and trafficked to foregein country like the US...
they also give tremendous joy to folks like me..so! always a silver lining somewhere!
And for each live arara hundreds died in the way being smuggled.
Yeah that's very sad, but to me the horror lies in the owners. The people that buy these birds. 80% of them are NOT suitable bird owners, let alone for a a LARGE bird.
They're very often abused, mistreated and unloved.
@@miarabelli these birds aren't supposed to be pets. Imagine going from having miles and miles to fly,having family and friends and having all the fresh fruit and native foods to being kept in a cage in a house somewhere.
It's cool seeing somebody who's as obviously passionate about their work as you are. Keep it up and I wish you the best!
Why doesn't Rook have a ruff/mane around his neck? Certainly here in the UK all adult Raven's have a scruffy ruff and it is the easiest way of identifying them.
He does have the longer wavy feathers like a mane, but it's hard to see in the video and he's not vocalizing which is when it's most noticeable.
Thanks animal wonders for your best video yet!! 😃😃
When I was growing up I was told not to get close to ravens/crows because they will peck your eyes out, is that true?
Usually no, not if you don't antagonize them.
I think a cassowary is the one that you should look out for lmao
they dont peck eyes, they steal souls...
Not unless you are unkind to them.
Raised a Raven this summer.He chose to stay around uncaged. Smart and Happy bird.
Blessed to have him in our lives
She has natural beauty which is rare these days
Say WORD?
You’re talking about the bird, right?
This is funny because bird is English slang for girl.
The women’s pretty too
Yeah that macaw sure does
you're actually so cool, the world needs more people like you
I wonder if she can do an episode on the mythical ginger soul.
👅👅👅👅
I love the thought and care you exhibit when deciding how to best enrich their lives.
Parrot owner here.... is Joy's beak a bit over grown?
Yes, there's about a half inch of overgrowth there. It's something that we need to continually manage with Joy since she doesn't maintain it herself (even with lots of chewing toys). She's due for a trim.
AnimalWonders Montana My linnies don't chew either and freak out when they get theirs trimmed... but always seem so much happier when theyre home and magically they can manipulate food better
AnimalWonders Montana How do you trim it? I imagine that must be painful for the bird, do you have to put them under for the procedure?
Ikus13 You can actually see it done in an Animal Wonders video titles "Kemosabe Teeth Trimming". It's about halfway through the video I think.
Ikus13 It doesn't hurt so much (if done properly) as it is uncomfortable and scary for them. And no they aren't put under for that. Only a professional should do it as they have to restrain the bird and trim the beak. Here watch?v=wWM58eR2AYo you could fast forward to about 3:50 to see the trimming done. She's using a dremel however with my bird because of a past experience I prefer for them to do it by hand.
It's some of the most Noble work you guys are doing!
I have a question, I want to get a macaw, but I'm a little bit discouraged because I hear everybody say that they horrible pets and make your life miserable. I know they are hard to care for, I'm okay with that, but is it true what people say about them taking up all your free time and being horrible pets? I am prepared for them to be difficult to care for, but my question is do they really take up all your free time where you can't do anything but care for them?
I like to think of a macaw as a young human child. Many parents will tell you their children are wonderful and they love to care for them. But others will tell you they take up all your free time, change/ruin your life, and are difficult to care for. It's all about how you view the situation and how you feel about devoting a ton of your time, energy, and love into someone other than yourself. It's a big commitment and a big life changing decision. Thanks for taking it seriously! :)
AnimalWonders Montana
Thank you so much for answering. I'm thinking of getting a scarlet macaw.
if you really love birds, let them be free, why would anyone wish to cage a bird, they need stimulation they are very intelligent, hang out a few feeders and fat balls and watch them fly freely from your own garden, I take great pleasure from all the birds who visit me and live around the outside of my house. Unless the bird is injured and the owner has no other choice but to nurture and care for it, till it is free. A bird is like a dog with wings, think about it...lots of work!
Its a lot of work for me and I don't own any of the wild birds a family of Jackdaws 18 pigeons and doves and lots of tiny song birds! :) is beautiful when they sit and feed from you, and then fly off to live their own free wild life as nature intended¬!!!
I know they always say that but yet have 100s of them lol
I have 12 parrots, more than half of whom are rescues. A large macaw does take a lot of effort (I have a blue and gold) and a fair amount of time. And Jessi was just a tad understated about macaw vocalizations. When they scream, it's like a steamboat whistle going off five feet away from you. But I would never give up our girl for anything. If you are really serious about getting a bird, especially a big bird, I cannot recommend going and volunteering at a parrot rescue strongly enough. You'll get to know all sorts of birds, you'll see how much work they involve, and you'll learn if a big bird is right for you. Then, if the answer is yes, please, please, please adopt one. Parrots can live 50-90 years, most of us get ours when we are middle-aged, and as a result they are outliving us. By adopting a bird, you will know its personality from the beginning, you will have established a bond before you take it home, and you will give a sad and grieving bird a new home, and this one will be forever.
I found your channel 2 days ago and I have to say its one of the best channels on youtube. I love how you teach people about animals and care but without preaching. You have a brilliant energy! Can't wait to view more ^_^!
Jessica is cuter than the birds.
be quiet
Wow she is very thoughtful and caring.
What if god gives me the power to change into birds.... I would really like to change
Sounds like blasphemy
*God
Beautiful indeed. Lovely plumage!
Do not get a bird as a pet. They belong in the wild.
PlanetRockJesus I honestly disagree they may belong in the wild but there GREAT pets to have I have a budgie and she's so sweet.
Humans belong in the wild too. But, many will protest.
Here's my take on this idea....Birds can be pets, if it is just a chance fate but they shouldn't be taken from the wild to purposely be turned into pets. The pet trade is mostly business, not people that really care about these animals. They're out to make money, or exploit these creatures. Once creatures are domesticated, they're kind of helpless and require a lifetime of care by humans. It's a huge responsibility. That's probably why some people prefer that humans not keep birds as pets. Birds can live long lives and require dedicated care that most people really aren't capable of providing. Having said that, if a pet's habitat and care are well thought out, life is sweet bliss as a domesticated creature. Let's see, hmmmm...as a pet, under good care, you have no worries ever. You get free food for life. Um, if I had to choose between fighting for futile life in the wild vs. living in domestic bliss, I'll take the second option. Alright, I shall step off my soapbox.
Humans do not belong "in the wild." We are humans, not animals. Yes, we are mammals "biologically," but we are the Crown of Creation, not animals.
PlanetRockJesus Well, I will respect your beliefs as long as they stay your beliefs, despite being a fantasy without any shred of scientific evidence. Anyways, I was being sarcastic about humans belonging in the wild. Not too many want to live beyond creature comforts of the First World.
There are a couple nesting pairs of ravens where I live and their calls are beautiful as they echo across frosty autumn mountains when the sun is rising. I'm always impressed by how much distance they cover as they gracefully roll around each other in the wide open sky. *grooooak grooooak*
You have so much patience! Those birds are finally getting the quality of life they deserve.
You and your co workers are also truly amazing. best wishes from Ireland .
Rook is beautiful. I love crows and ravens. Thank you for taking a chance on him.
So glad I just randomly found Animal Wonders Montana on RUclips. I love the videos and hope to visit soon.
Cheers from Hot Springs, MT!
Keep up the good work Joy animals need people like you.
This video is more fun than i have had in a long time. Brilliant!
I think my favourite videos are the ones where we get to know where the animals came from. I also really love the ones where you teach us how to properly take care of them as a pet.
This is my first time watching this channel.... Joy you are such a caring animal lover...
Please do many more videos like this - it's great to see the animals, and hear their stories and personalities!
Yes please. I'm always happy to see animals in your videos and it is very interesting to hear their background stories.
Wow.
This is a jewell among women.
She has a heart of gold, and a mind and soul to match.
God bless you young lady.
I would love to see more meet and greet videos! It also lets us see who/what you're taking care of all day which is really cool.
Ravens are such amazingly smart birds. Coming up with good enrichment for Rook sounds like a fun challenge.
Thanks for sharing your bird children with us.
Thank you for sharing! The rehabilitation center near me called Fallen Feathers, has their injured raven roommating with a Turkey Vulture. They like one another very well. Rook probably needs a roommate to occupy his adjustment from the wild. They can talk to one another and keep Big minds busy and happy.
Jess is so sweet
thankyou for what you do.
I can't tell you how wonderful I think you are for the things you do..
Loved your video and the interesting conversation about each bird - GoodJourneys to you! 🐦💙
Just discovered this channel. Fantastic ! Thank you for these amazing videos
Wow you are a really fine lady! Those birds (Joy & Rook) are so lucky they have you! God bless u😇 you're either an angel or a saint.
I'm glad to meet you and see that you are doing good to help those in the animal kingdom that are less fortunate. It makes me sad that most people do not share my love for animals and that they don't appreciate their intelligence and emotional status.
I could watch her talk about animals all day
I think you're doing great work. Keep in mind that the animals you rescue would otherwise be dead, so the quality of life that you can bring them is a blessing. The fact that you have ambitions to make their lives even better is just terrific. You should be proud of yourselves. Most people couldn't give half a f**k. I've been wanting a crow buddy for a few years now, so you're fortunate to have Rook.
