I used to work with a scarlet macaw who liked to tempt people to put their fingers in her cage by rubbing her face sideways along the bars and then as soon as they put their fingers in she would bite them and laugh.
Pretty funny actually.
My Meyer's Parrot does this 😂
I love my green wing macaw! But if someone tells me they are thinking of buying a macaw I always recommend against it. It is nothing like owning a dog or cat, they are highly difficult, expensive and destructive creatures. They are exotic pets that need a whole habitat, not a cage in your room.
TheBrianna1431 can u make videos about him
@Issac Gatlin huh?
Macaw has nothing on a husky that gets bored in destructiveness.
Q: what are macaws?
A: LOUD
Loud yes but not usualy noisy (always exceptions) now garfield my aunts umbrella cockatoo he is loud and noisy >.
I LOVE how specific this episode was. This is going to so helpful for a lot of kids and parents that are home schooling right now.
they are the size of a hawk, the personality of a dog, and is a rainbow.
I'd argue they're a toddler with a pair of garden loppers. Adorable, destructive and *loud*
One blue and gold I used to work with despised bed times so would fly away to the top of one of the tallest trees in the park, then would just cycle between screeches and "no" when asked to come down, until he was offered a walnut, then he'd come down *eventually*
Dogs aren’t insane. I love macaws but they all have a screw loose in their heads
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Can I just say I love the breakdown of familys and genuses (geni?) on these vids? It's like an evolutionary countdown.
Edit: Also, a shoutout to the editing, the timing at 11:13 on Joy's feathers relaxing is perfect for Jessi's description. Great work as always, folks!
plural of genus is genera~!
@@fossilfighters101 Thanks, bud!
3:55 "OK yeah that's great, love listening to my human school you, but meanwhile, and more importantly, let's get some more chips or nuts going in here" ... 4:58 YEAH THAT'S BETTER
To me it's kind of like taking care of a feathered two year-old
PinkFlares do you have one?
more like 4 year old ! they're way smarter than a 2 year old
The best description I've read is a flying 5 year old with a steak knife
"flight training is a great way to give a captive macaw a good life" - pictured a macaw in ww2 aviator goggles
*NYAOUM*
Pronounced how it's spelled
Twenty one pilots hat
Love this reply HAHAHAHAH

Macaws have always been my favorite kind of bird.
Yes, thank you so much for this video! Please do post more vids on your birds they are my absolute favorite! ❤️
Beauuuuutiful parrots and quite loud but playful and so much fun
Perfect timing! I start an internship next month and some of the animals I get to work with are macaws so it’s cool to learn more about them. Thanks!
Wow! You're so lucky!!!
How are you gonna be able to do an intern ship with everything that is going on?
Breyanna Gobind animals still need taken care of regardless. There is a chance that my start date will get pushed back or even canceled but right now it’s still going on and I’m staying hopeful.
I remember decades ago, I was in school outdoors for PE class in El Salvador. The teacher was telling the class something boring so I looked up into a tree close by. There was a huge flock of small parrots. They were so colorful, playful and amazing.
Jessie, it's so wonderful to see how much you respect and revere this species (and so many others!) Parrots are my favorite non-human companions. I have only cared for one, a dear cockatiel named Ruby, and I'm sad to say I didn't do a very good job 😔I did not know enough about healthy parrot diets at the time (20 years ago), and as a result Ruby ate only seeds and didn't live past two years. I will never forgive myself for his early death, and I'd decided never to try to keep another parrot in captivity... until I began watching your channel 3 years ago. You have given me so much new knowledge, confidence, and hope, that I am hoping to one day, soon, begin to think about taking care of a new parrot species! You are the BEST! Thank you for helping me heal and enlightening me--and so many others! ❤️
Great video, but for anyone wanting to own a parrot I would suggest watching 'Parrot Confidential', some of which you can find on youtube. It's a documentary that goes through the reality of owning parrots, and some of the places where they end up if people buy them and end up not being able to look after them :(
It really sends a strong message that parrots shouldn't be kept as pets, unless they're rescues.
The number of parrots in rescuers is so depressing. I wish people were required a permit to keep them
Also the very best people to follow for advice on parrots is Jamie and Dave from the channel Birdtricks
yes!!!
Beautiful birds with colour ful feathers
THIS IS MY FAVORITE RUclips CHANNEL
A macaw is a hyperactive, resourceful toddler equiped with a bolt cutter and built-in megaphone.
And that for ~50 years.
2stroke4me for more than 50! The oldest macaw now is 115 years old and was owned by winston churchil!!
@@tyresesp9696 Churchill estate and daughter deny this. He did own grey before becoming prime minster.
Thank you, Jessie! Joy and Scarlett are my favorite!
My parrot loves watching your vids with me
Awesome! Thanks for all the great information about parrots!
I know this was your first solo video and I just wanted to say thank you! This kind of content always makes me smile and in these uncertain times that makes all the difference. Thanks for striving to make new content. You did great!
Thank you for the support! This was actually filmed a few weeks ago, which is why it looks so pretty. Stay tuned for next week's video where I've done the lighting, audio, and framing myself, and there's probably going to be one static shot because I don't have a 4k camera at home. Also, my camera doesn't give nearly the same pretty picture that is seen here. BUT, I stuck with it and did it! And I will get better at it the more I practice 😊
I love birds but I responsible enough to know that they aren’t the right pet for me
ok.
Thank you for your upbeat video's and lots of good information
Hey, a small mistake at 1:54. It's actually a sun conure!
Mahir Mazumder and they got it right at 1:50 too lolll
@@aroszcao5785 Lol
I noticed that too! Actually I think it’s a Jenday Conure but I’m no specialist
I think they made a mistake with the actual picture of the jenday conure as well, as I'm pretty sure that is a sun conure. I think the picture labelled love bird is a jenday instead of a sun conure. Jendays have almost completely green wings and less red around their eyes, sun conures have more red around the eyes (like half of the face or more), and only part of the wings are green, usually the ends. This happens frequently as the 2 species are so similar in size and color.
Right, it probably is a Jenday
As a bird owner for over 22 1/2 yrs I love all kinds of birds and animals..but I have had only cockatiels and parakeets and they are fun to own and watch especially when you can train them to talk.
Macaws are super cute, a couple live in a palm tree in front of my house, they are very loud animals, they always wake me up in the morning 😂
Love your videos❣ You are so kind to help all those animals thankyou for doing so much good🙏 PS: would love more Budgies videos!💕 Be safe💗
1:54 that's not a Lovebird. It's a juvenile Jenday Conure (Aratinga jandaya)
You're right! Editor mix up. Glad you all paying attention! 😄
@@Phighs Fischer's lovebird (Agapornis fischeri) kinda look a little like this but they always have a bright red beak
The pet shop near me have a scarlet macaw and I love to go visit him on the weekend! He’s just beautiful and it’s so easy to read his behavior. They have another not for sale bird called Pauli’s and they’re very playful they’re an Amazon. They also have a lot of conure, budgies, finches, cockatiels and 2 eucalyptus parrots
Isn't 1:54 a conure, not a lovebird?
This is basically a care guide for most parrots. Really good video, thanks!
Wow I’m early lol.
So here’s a joke. What ya get when a sheep, a drum and a snake falls of a cliff.
Ba-dum-tss lol ik it’s bad but still.
Woot lol.
Lol - I loved this
It only works with a rattlesnake :) (Just joking, that was good!)
WOW ....Professor Jesse !!!!! Impressive
Yay a vid about macaws! Thank you for making the video I asked for!
Wow! That was a wonderfully informative video, thank you so much! Loved it.
Love macaws I used to work at a shop with one
I might not have a bird, bu I love your videos! All of them!
I love Joy 😍
Loll love when they edited a sun conure as a lovebird
omGosh Joy looks so good! her feathers are so pretty and her patches look so much better
Thanks Jessi ..great video:)
Very useful indeed
I am making fanart of Scarlet right now because I love her
I love this series so much! Can you do one on the sugar gliders?
YAY JESSI ❤️❤️❤️ missed you on the channel
I knew macaws ate clay off cliffs (who hasn't seen those awesome pictures of hundreds of brightly-colored birds clinging to the side of a rock face?), but I didn't know that was why.
When you think about it, it's kind of amazing. Some time ago, one of them had to have randomly eaten clay, AND realized it didn't get sick, or got less sick after eating unripe fruit. It had to make a connection between 2 time-spaced events. Not only that, but this information was then shared with rest of the flock, and then on to entire species.
I feel like it's more likely to be an instinctual rather than learned behaviour, but it would be fascinating if it was a learned behaviour that was passed down through generations! (certainly the locations of good clay patches are generational group knowledge though). I wonder if there are studies on this particular thing?
Would love to have heard about their lifespan! But wonderful vid!
Such beautiful birds! 😍💖
I love your chanel! Please do the same type of video for lovebirds
Does it say lovebird next to a conure?
My conure and I love your videos ❤❤
Yes, yes. Our editor made a bitty mistake.
great info
Never gets old watching my friends macaw peel a grape without popping it
Love the t-shirt.
Amazing
Big beauties. That's just right.
Amazing video
I was wondering why my Green Cheek Conure will not bath if the water is not cold. Thank you for clarifying this to me!
Gorgeous. Awesome video
Jesse, I want a shirt of my own like that! I love crows!
I noticed Joy's slight lack of feathers around the front of her neck, I hope her anxiety is doing ok :)
Yussss, my favorite series!
Jessi you are so cool.
I really wanna see a horse on your channel. I love horses
Cool i love macaws
I'd love to see a macaw in real life! Any kind of parrot, really; from parrotlets up to hyacinth macaws! I just love parrots!❤❤❤❤❤
Same
Many zoo's have parrots as people like the spectacle of them ("big bird, Pretty!") And a good zoo usually has them pretty well socialized. Speak to one of the keepers and I'm sure they'll let you close (though maybe not pet them..) and/or maybe let you have a molt feather (speaking as a former zoo employee 😁)
lol just look at one then
@@Dylan-we5dz If you mean on RUclips, I do...all the time; if you mean like at a zoo or pet shop, well...it's not really an option at the moment. Plus, I'm disabled, and the nearest zoo is really far away. Plus, I HATE seeing animals in pet shops; I usually end up starting to cry a little, because it makes me so sad to see them there.
It's weird, but there it is.
Gyarren Sorry, I was joking. Chain pet shops suck, but if you can find a good bird store near you then you might like it there.
Great work, always look forward to new vids from you :) btw, that was a conure, not a lovebird ;) whoopsie lol
I found out my bird needed a special UV light to keep her healthy. Is this true of all types of birds in captivity? Thanks for sharing - birds rock!
I have two Sun Conures and I'm pretty sure that Jenday Conure at 2:30 is actually a Sun Conure. A Jenday should have way more green feathers on it's back and wings, shouldn't it..? ...🤔😅
My parents have two free flight trained blue&gold macaws - and one day me and my sister (who currently has a Galah Cockatoo and an Indian Ringneck) will own them since we're their godmothers - and I agree with everything you've said! 👍
They're awesome, sure, but they really do need the right people to care for them! 🦜💛💚
⚠️ They're like three year old kids with ADHD... who never grow up and can seriously harm you with their beaks. You need to seriously think about if you really want this and if you're honestly ready for this lifelong commitment!
So please, do NEVER impulse buy those kinds of animals (...or any animal, but specifically exotic ones)! 🦜⚠️
There are other ways to learn how to interact with birds and care for them though - like volunteering in a shelter! 👍🐦🐣🐥💚
Very Cool!!
I have a lovebird and birds are very butefull,, as pets and your bff forever
1:53 (Slight correction): That's not a lovebird, but a juvenile Sun conure (Aratinga solstitialis)...an endangered species native to South America, twice the size of their much smaller African relatives.
I believe its a Jenday Conure.
I love seeing other people's birds, but they sure aren't the pet for me! My brother's wife (and I suppose now my brother) has a very sweet budgie and I like seeing her. But I'd still prefer a more snuggly pet and one I don't have to be quite as gentle and careful with as I would with a bird
Animalwonders montana i have a question I want to get pet fox so can you train them not to urine in the house or potty train if yes Make a video about it
She made a vid about that and she Said it’s very hard
I love the bird videos! More birds!
Kea parrots!!!! Yayy
Ive been waiting for this video aaa!!
Do they eat the insects and small vertebrates on purpose, or just because they happen to be on a leaf or fruit or whatever they actually want?
"Socialization is very important for Macaws, who spend most of their life socializing with their flockma"
Macaw: *H i*
that greenwing named Scalet. haha
Hi, I'm savvy and I'm actually thinking about getting a quaker parrot in a few months (if my dad lets me) if I do end up with one, do you have any tips?
Half moon next pleaseee
There's a great RUclips channel called Bird Tricks. They have a few macaws and birds and work with macaws or other birds that are struggling in some way! I highly recommend them if you're looking into owning one
thx!! I'm thinking about adopting one and letting it Rome free in my house with fake branches atc
1:54 that isn't a lovebird, it's a conure.
❤️❤️❤️
Should my conures showers be cold too? I usually use room temp or warm
I don't know anything about birds and am curious to know how to take care of them.
Is Joy plucking? I haven't noticed that before. They can pluck for a variety of reasons. Care to share?
Thanks for asking! She's plucked off and on since before she came to Animal Wonders. After she was with us for several months, we could rule out poor diet, poor hygiene, and lack of enrichment. It came on stronger a couple years ago and her weight started fluctuating drastically, so we tested her for ABV and she came back positive. At the same time we took in Scarlet and hoped that a macaw companion would help. It worked out thet Scarlet was also positive for ABV, so they were introduced. The plucking has continued off and on, just as before. She's also had a very rough past full of neglect and abuse, so my best guess is that she plucks because she's had significant trauma and she deals with it by self soothing through over grooming (similar to humans nail biting).
Wow that's intense America that's where they're not considered a bird of paradise even though that's 4000 miles away
My 15 year old pigeon is named Macaw!
Because in my country, macaws are more expensive than an exotic car!!!
Do macaws help pollinate?
Because in the wild they are spreading around nuts and seeds.
Macaws are seed consumers and not considered seed dispersers because they don't drop seeds often enough to really replant their habitat like a red footed tortoise would. They aren't considered pollinators either because they don't collect pollen from one flower and transfer to the next. However, there are some nectar eating lorikeets that are definitely pollinators!
I love those birds but I'd hate to have one
1:54 erm, it's not a lovebird, it's a conure and you definitely know it, Animal Wonders ;)
A birds behavior depends on there owner correct me if im wrong please
A birds behavior is affected by what it evolved to do, its environment, it's health, its past experiences and the birds individual personality. And possibly something else I'm missing. And correct me if I'm wrong too!
Why are your birds bald on neck and legs? Are they missing something in their diet or have an illness? Just curious.
Hi,
even if someone has the time to take care and entertain a macaw (or any other parrot, conure etc.) 24/7, I'd still advise against keeping the bird alone. A human will never be an appropriate substitute for a bird companion. So, if you really want a macaw, get 2...
BTW: 1:56 - That's not a love bird... 😀
The "Jenday" is also a Sun Conure.
@@lisasidebotham5004 No, in the video it showed "Lovebird". Jenday and sun conures are related but are not the same.
I saw that, and then later there was a picture of what I'm almost (but not positive) sure was a Sun, but she said "Jenday". It looked to me like it had too much yellow to be a Jenday, but I could certainly be wrong!
can you edit the slide that has a conure and change it to parakeet or conure
Oh, how I wish we could!
Macaws Long-tailed is male or female?
A loud, eternal toddler.
