      h4ns Just thought I'd correct you. He currently now as a Aviary, that small cage was only around for the first month while we build a new home for him, in saying this, he only sleeps, and eats there, and when he wants to play with his toys, apart from that he has free range of the house and free flight training is in practice. He also now has another bird friend and they get along just great. I hope this make you happy.

      +h4ns Thank you for your comment. Between myself and my partner we are nearly always home so Mikey gets as much love and attention as possible, we even take turns going out so there's always someone home before he goes to sleep. The odd days someone isn't home a laptop is in his room playing all of his favourite shows, he has his own room with an aviary in it filled with toys to keep him busy. We will eventually get another one so he has a friend and we understand the commitment. Thank you for your concern.

      The_Blue_Fox Mikey loves just being on me, when we are out 95% of the time I can't even get him off me, I do have a small harness just incase something scares him and flys into a bus, he has flown away before, just into the nearest tree, he explores for a few hours then will eventually come down. My latest video is from last week when he few up a tree, not a lot of footage but a full description of it.

    Just in case you didn't know or for anyone else starting out with birds. It's generally best to avoid stroking along the back and under the wings as they think it's an advance for mating. It will bring you really close for a while but the bird may become aggressive towards anyone who isn't the "mate" and will eventually become frustrated when you can't "deliver". It's generally best to stick to neck and head scritches so you don't end up with an anti-social or sexually frustrated bird. Just a tip! You've made tonnes of progress for a month!

      Planci Acanthaster He was only 9 months when we got him, he wasn't fond of us for the first week but with persistence and commitment to taking the odd nip with caring and love he bonded a lot faster than expected

    • @brianbassett4379
      @brianbassett4379 6 лет назад +17

      Large parrots average 8 owners in their lives. That's sad. The younger the bird the easier it is to bond. If they are in a one bird household they will bond more quickly and deeply also, The older the bird the more baggage and bad habbits just like with people. After decades with my macaw we still reach new levels of trust occasionaly.

      Brian Bassett Yeah, my macaw Kernel had been through 3 owners before me. We've been together 14 years now. He was pretty nippy at first, for several months. Petting him with his own dropped long feathers helped, and I first offered him the top of my head because he couldn't get a grip on my scalp with his beak, and gradually he started preening my hair. Now he's completely lovable (except for a few pissed-off days after I trim his claws!)

      As a long time owner, I always recommend that people don't get Macaws. They require, they deserve way more attention than most owners can offer. The average parrot has 8 owners in its life time. That's not right.

      I came across your videos and very much enjoyed them, except for Mikey's accident video, so I wanted see how things began and am now enjoying this one. You and your partner and your two beautiful Macaws have some of the most beautiful vlogs I have ever watched. I love all animals and from the time I was a little girl I wanted a parrot. Sadly I have let too many years pass and I would be long gone before the bird and that would be just wrong. I just survived a three year cancer ordeal and am happily cancer free right now. My 3 daughters are grown and I live with my two adopted cats Charlie a Maine Coon Mix and Sophie a short haired Persian. They are two real characters, and very gentle and loving. I have been doing a bit of research on possibly getting a couple of Budgies, their life span is much better suited for my age 61. I think that is how I originally came across your videos. I am retired and have all the time in the world to make sure the cats who are getting older and the budgies could have a safe relationship. I am just not sure so for now I will continue to watch videos about budgies and of course I love all bird and other animal videos. I have many of yours to catch up on. I am glad Mikey is doing OK and I wish you and your better much love and success. God Bless

      The Lonely Lakitu Hmm, budgies are not usually hormonal if you pet them on their stomachs. Under wings and on back is rather off limits tho. If you see your birdie get low to the ground and/or droop her wings, then that's a sign that she's interpreting it sexually. If she's not doing any of that, then I think you're fine. 😄

      @MikeyTheMacaw  7 лет назад +8

      xDidntRememberMuch Haha I know this feeling. With Mikey, we couldn't even touch him for the first 3 days, mainly in fear on our end thinking he would bite off our hands lol. One night I had many many beers, my confidence was strong, went up, put out my hand and he jumped on, he crawled up onto my shoulder, it was terrifying. After that progress happened very very fast, he knew he could trust us and he was happy with everything we did with him. I also think we got him when he was 9 months old from a guy who basically just kept him in a cage. I feel he was grateful for the freedom and adventures he does with us. I'll do my best to post another video soon with an update as it's been 7months now. I think the key is don't be nervous, take the bites and pretend like they do not affect you at all haha. Good luck.

    Hey, I'm back with a couple more suggestions for your wonderful bird's safety! These things may have been said before so I apologize if I say something that's already been said. When I worked for the bird vet, you would not believe how many lost bird posters we had because someone was outside with their bird without a harness on the bird. Even the most calm and docile bird can get spooked and fly off. Mikey looks like a parrot that would have no trouble learning how to wear a harness, and it would give you and others peace of mind to know that he is tethered to you. Plus I bet he'd look adorable in one. (Haha scratch that, I checked your other videos and I see you've got a harnesss for him already, and ge decided to escape! I'm glad everything went well to get him down! I'm now subscribed, looking forward to new videos!) Second, soda and chocolate items are a big no no for birds. I have no idea if the drink in the video is one of those, but it's best to give him fruit juice or perhaps a few sips of sweetened or unsweetened decaffeinated tea. Vanilla ice creams and yogurts and such are fine in small amounts, along with salty things like chips or crackers. Birds need a lot of fruits and vegetables to stay happy and healthy, they should make up around 30% of his diet. And as for the hairdryer, I would call the manufacturer and verify that it does not have any teflon in it, to be sure that you're not accidentally blowing toxins on lil Mikey. Your bond with Mikey is so heartwarming, and I visit your video often so I can smile and laugh. I want you and Mikey to have a long and wonderful life together, so that's why I offer these suggestions. Please let me know if you have any questions and I hope you have a wonderful day!

      Altariasong Altariasong Thank you very much for your comment. It's so nice to have people out there that care.
      Yes we have always had a harness on him, the full body ones he just chew off after a few days so we just have a small clip on his foot rung which he doesn't seem to mind.
      That can in this video was just an example on how he can open a can of beer, he doesn't drink much else apart from water.
      We heard the hairdryer was teflon free but just to be safe we have now completely stopped blow drying him, it's not really needed.
      As for his diet he eats a lot of fruits, nuts, veggies, seeds etc, the odd Sunday he may have some junk food but not a lot.
      We appreciate the comment and support.
      If you haven't seen our latest video with him I think you will really like it, trying to make them as entertaining as possible, you will see fruits nuts and veggies so check it out and let me know your thoughts. ruclips.net/video/jtkTorU7Z74/видео.html

You might wanna consider following and forming friendships with other birdie youtube stars like Mr. Max, Gotcha, and Harley. I see them comment on each other's videos a lot, and it definitely helps with visibility and making sure us bird freaks know about ALL the precious featherchildren we can watch on youtube. Thanks for the reply!

    I can't believe this is just after a month! I just got a 2 year old conure a little more than a week ago and he's still a bit scared and won't come out of his cage when we open it. I put my hand by the entrance/bottom of the cage and talk to him but he still freaks out a bit, and I haven't had the chance to handle him yet. (I don't want to take him out by force!) Seems like I haven't made any progress with him. Do you have any tips or suggestions? I'm curious as to how you trained your macaw so well!

    • @MikeyTheMacaw
      @MikeyTheMacaw  7 лет назад +1

      Lai L Thanks for the comment. In my experience small birds are always harder than big ones. With Mikey he just stayed in his cage for the first few days, then eventually started stepping up on a stick, the moment he would step up on us we started taking him for walks around so he knew he would have fun, in saying this Mikey also knows he’s a big bird and could cause damage with his beak so wasn’t overly afraid of us where I feel smaller birds get much more scared and take a lot longer. The only tip I can give you is be patient and don’t force him, every time he gets close to you give him a treat, they need to know your hands are a good place. I don’t know a whole lot about birds but that makes sense in my head haha
