Hyacinth macaw's always look like they are smilling, Birds are such wonderful creations.
ikrrrr
Brown__Gamer yes they are
except when they lay eggs and get protecc-tive
Until they scream their lungs out
@@breezyg7652 they are animals not human beings and we kill, capture, care, protect them.
We have friends, entertainment, etc but all they have is us.
you can hear bandit in the back saying bandit
Bandit died, some months ago. It's probably Cressie saying it
@@outoftime7740 obviously you don't pay attention, the video clips are old i.e before Bandit passed away.
@@outoftime7740 And Cressie isnt very good at talking. she can only really say he name clearly.
@@outoftime7740 I guess you are out of time
i grew up with a hyacinth macaw and i would love to adopt one when i'm older. so far i've fostered lots of small birds, i want to start doing more with medium/larger sized birds and then hopefully i'll be ready for my own hyacinth
I wish everyone was as responsible as you, getting so much experience before getting such a high maintenance bird
Hey if u want a large or medium bird get a alexandrine parakeet there great
Too bad they cost 40 grand.
@@hillolmondal8625 what? They don’t!
@@birdiiii now a days they cost a lot like thousands of USD ($5k-12k+)
God they are huge birds.
They are, though still at risk of hawks and other birds of prey :/
Very risky flying them outside
@@SmalltimR and that's why finding a good free fly location and training your bird appropriately before free flying is important.
The largest of all macaws
@@SmalltimR I'm not sure but out here I don't see those kind of big birds flying out here, anyway if I were a bird I wouldn't wanna attack a Moluccan cockatoo like my own lol, they are sweet but their bites are deadly..
@@bekeneel Unless a hawk is hungry or just has the perfect moment, they will rarely attack birds bigger than themselves.
All birds are threatened by hawks, but hyacinths are close to the lowest in danger.
A few years ago I was in a local pet store and saw Hyacinths (NOT being sold! They were just hanging out there being taken care of while their humans were on vacation!) and that was when I realized how BIG those guys really are. And it was so intimidating for someone that didn’t know much about birds.
Hyacinth Macaws were my uncles specialty when he bred them, i think he had around 20 pairs or more! he bred hundreds of pairs of birds, but these were the parrots that made me fall in love with them as they are such gentle giants :D
I wonder what happened to them all? If only people were forced to get a parrot training licence/..so many do not lead happy lives :(
@@mstarr4812 he unfortunately passed away and they are kept in his rescue zoo in Saudi! Where he looked after then to his dying days
Technically, Hyacinth Macaws ARE Dream Birbs to me because they’re big, smart and adorable-but they are also loud and require resources I will probably not be able to afford. That said, I’d love to major in Cognitive Ethology and study Parrots, so it’d be a great excuse to work with them and advocate for their welfare.
Omg Jinx's face popping through the crate bars at 3:22 made me laugh out loud. He is too cute!
There was a Hyacinth for a long time at my local bird store where a lot of birds my parents have had over the years (including my current bird of 23 years). It was always a highlight of the trip to play with him. Like Hymie in this video, this macaw really liked going on people's shoulders. So I would rarely pick him up and just play with him instead. Eventually though I figured I could retain control by gripping both of his feet. Eventually he was sold, and I hope he's happy. He was extremely friendly and playful, but needed a firm hand to set boundaries. Always thought Hyacinths were a lot of fun, but given how huge they are, how much they cost, and how long they live, I would never get one myself.
Omg when I heard bandit 😭I miss his talking!!! It was precious. 🤍
What a sweet baby blue dinosaur having so much fun with you! How are people not terrified to make one mistake or that the bird will get mad and bite their face?!? Hayme doesn’t look like he’d hurt a fly though 🥰
I absolutely adore Hyacinth Macaws. They’re gorgeous, friendly, intelligent birds. The Hyacinth Macaw is truly a magnificent species, and a great companion if you want a huge commitment like that.
there was a lady awhile back selling a hyacinth because she bought a giant avery and spend like £6000 on this bird to then realise a few weeks later that she didnt like birds. like hunni surely you should evaluate whether you like birds before getting a hyacinth macaw lmaoo
Emmylyn Perkeroid wtffff, don’t understand how anyone wouldn’t love these gentle giants.
@@knogne5073 yeah I know!! absolute beauties
K Nogne ehhh well theyre quite messy and huge i only have a budgie and hes a bit too messy theyre also quite stubborn and mean if u tames
@zσmσk вєαn have you had birds before?
I used to have budgies a million years ago and never figured out how they got poop on the ceiling.
What a wonderful bird and wonderful story. Yes, Hymie trained so quickly because he is intelligent, but your patience, clarity, and sensitivity to him were essential, particularly in that you immediately sought to make a relationship with him. That is what good teaching is about - animal or human! You inspire me. Brava!
I live in Santa Barbara and for YEARS a pair of Hyacinths would periodically fly around and circle our house... they were breathtaking and fun to see!!!
Love that. I have to say since I have started watching your videos I have grown a lot with our cockatoo he knew I was scared of him because he would always bite me. But I have learned a lot and now we can sit and enjoy each other it is great.
Wow, that's lovely! Well done 🌺
Such a gorgeous bird 🦜looks like he was really easy to train. I love 💗 bandit so much, RIP baby boy
I was looking for this comment, I heard his lil voice and it was bittersweet. ❤️ Bandit boy.
That is a perfect name for a big beautiful bird
Edit: omg look at little fluff monster jinxie!
I'd have to give him some kind of a regal name, he is so majestic.
Except for the part where hymie is a derogatory term for a Jewish person. 🤣 Source: am Jew
@@TheKitchenNinja And it's Spanish for James. I never knew it was an insult to Jews! Wow! That just shows how easy it is to insult someone without realizing it or meaning to! I bet that's created many awkward moments and misunderstandings!
So what I’m seeing is that the “dream bird” is one you train from day one to avoid bad habits
100%
Same with a lot of pets
@@SunnyBara basically all
@@ogdocanto8068 fish and reptiles: so we need to be trained??👁️👄👁️
@@matthewravelo5976 basically yes, if you got a kid you gotta educate him lmaoo
I don’t have a bird. Not sure if I would want a bird… but watching you interact with each bird is Nothing short of AMAZING! Yes! I want to see EVERY BIRD you have ever worked with! I want all the details! Always! I watch you by the hour/day! Birds are like kids I guess. You can’t fool the , and they KNOW when they’re Loved! I love you and I Love what you bring out of each bird. I used to raise and Show Siamese I LOVED having babies on the ground. When you put extra into those creations you have in your home… the trust, the Love eagerness to be with you is so gratifying. So I kinda understand how you get into the birds heads & think like they do. You get the acceptance & Preference for you back from those magnificent creatures! Don’t ever stop filming and showing us what your doing! I feel like your Family actually. Thank you I’ll 4EVER be a fan
He's amazing. Your channel really makes me want to have a bird companion so much.
Yes, we want to see more, love your project bird series.
I'm so proud of you for being monetized!!
My dream birb is the Golden Conure. Just the right size, beautiful, smart, playful and just cool. They're like the hyacinths of the conures
Conures are very loud. I had 4 different kinds 40 years ago.
@@Pashasmom1 yea but I've heard golden conures before and I kinda like their sounds.
@@Pashasmom1 what kinds of conures did u have?
@@THEE.apples I have two golden conures! They are so sweet and playful. They make the most irritating sounds out of any of my birds though lol, soooo loud
@@4swordsluver I bet they're SUPER loud cause they hype each other up lol what other feathered babies do u have?
Wow... what a beautiful BIG bird !!! The biggest bird we've got is a cockatiel named Frankie Bird.... He knows about 20 or so different phrases including "Matty poo poo," "Got your tail" (a game Matt plays with him)
"Phew, Phew, Phew what stinks" , "Bye, Bye" ; "Frank-Keeeeee Bird" : "Whatcha doing" , etc. He's got quite a personality... plus we've got 3 parakeets & one cat (a maine coon named Bailey). I love watching your training videos so keep up the great work !!!
"Stick em up!" -- never seen that one before!
Hymie is stunning💗 he seems like such a sweet bird! Its amazing how you can completely change a bird’s life and give them a better one😊 this is why I love what you do💞
I just want to say as an owner of a blue front amazon for thirty years, do not get any bird unless you are ready to invest all that is required to care for them. People buy on impulse because they're pretty or they're funny but the amount of work is substantial. The constant cleaning of the cage, the constant bringing of food and snacks, you can't just leave seed in a bowl, the concern when the bird is alone and you need to get home, the cost of boarding when you go away, the noise. They are beautiful but they have great needs, need for good food, need for companionship, need to be let out of the cage, more needs than a baby. At least a baby would have grown up by now and left home after thirty years but still I am doing all these things. I just want to caution, be aware of all that is involved before investing in any bird, of course a budgie is easy. Many times I have wished I could go back in time and wish I would've gotten a budgie instead of my bird. Very high maintenance. Be forewarned.
Maachudaaa
*Good stuff would enjoy seeing more like this...*
I just adopted a 15 year old blue and gold and she sounds very similar to this hyacinth! Very excited for this series so I can apply it to Bella! ❤🦜
Jamie, I would love to see more! It was incredible how quickly he caught on, and I hope you have some video with him free flying. Curious too about which of your babies was saying in the background, sounded like "careful", whatever was said it was really sweet. Thanks for getting my Monday off with a smile.
I sadly only ever got photos and very little video of him free flying, mostly just walking around in the grass! I couldn't seem to find much footage from back then. Wish I took more but our camera back then was hugeeee and not convenient to use n an every day basis.
Totally understand, but looking forward to what's up next. Hope you, Dave and Capri, are safe and staying healthy. Thank you for all the hard work and content you share.
Think that was bandit in the back ground.
My goodness what a beauty. So striking! I have a blue quaker but that bird is BLUE! Thanks for sharing this old footage. It was cool to see into the past!
Awesome. Gave me some ideas about what I need to try with my bird - who knows absolutely NOTHING! HE LOVED hearing your baby birds - he was calling right back to them! Thank you for sharing this! 💖💝♥️
I loved the other birds saying "Good Bird" in the background, when Hymie did smthg right! That was too cute!
Watching his progress was so satisfying. Proud of this sweet boy! Hyacinths are my favourites after Eclectus.
Probably the most beautiful blue color.
From when you first got Hymie JamieLeigh, Hymie really became a good looking bird with his exercise and healthy diet you had him on. You could really see the change. Great job!🦜
I love your videos! I have a bird boarding business in VA :D I find your videos very helpful in learning different ways to work with different types of birds. I especially loved the video about body language because in my line of work recognizing these behaviors quickly so it is a good experience for you and not a hazard is key :)
Great video! Loved seeing you work with Hymie. You are a great bird trainer! Love ya!
I was lucky to be able to interact with a hyacinth in a bird store that was an older bird, he was so sweet and just wanted his head scratched as long as you could hold him! He was so heavy! Luckily I already have my dream birds as you can see kiwi on my head in the pic!
Hymie is a gorgeous Hyacinth!! Came close to adopting a Hyacinth, but a badly abused cockatiel was mentioned to me. I took the cockatiel. The best decision I've made. The cockatiel responded to me after a bit. Once Kiki was comfortable with me, we we're the best of friends! Kiki passed away a year 2 months ago. She's sadly missed ! Love Hymie!!
This was a great video. Just saying. So much 'loose' usefull information. Just daily stational cues and overall daily work. Pre flight cues that work. Cues that help in the long run. So much info and help. You guys are great!❤👏
What a stunning boy. I absolutely love hyacinth’s. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
they have such a fluffy head and the cutest eyes so probably every parrot is jealous
I remember the first time a saw a hyacinth.. he was a baby but still so huge and was so playful. I fell in love with him
I have just had a bird die, and my family is considering about getting a African grey (as I my family used to take care of a macaw) but we might change our mind to a hyacinth or scarlet macaw. Keep up the good work on the channel!
African greys are for experienced bird owners
@@TechLidBull honestly so are most birds besides budgies which is why so many birds are abused and not cared for properly. All birds take a lot of training and expertise. Many people (even people who THINK they are doing right) literally have no idea how to properly care for a bird.
Tech Lid News I would say African greys are easier to handle than macaws are by a long shot.
Macaws are known to have behavioral issues if not socialized properly and can do a lot more damage they also have pretty annoying diets.
I own a B&G and he is far more energetic destructive and harder to train than any African grey I’ve met.
I am of the school of thought that people should pick a bird that fits their lifestyle not a beginner bird that they don’t want in the first place.
Do your research and join a training class with your baby bird and often times you will be a far better owner than most people in the parrot community.
On the flip side though. You should be 100% sure you can handle a hyacinth macaw. It’s a 10-24 thousand dollar bird.
Tech Lid News who said she /he /they is not an experienced owner huh?
Their eyes are especially attractive.😚😚
욜패티비_YOLO&PATCH TV I’m kinda scared of them
Awww sweet Bandit in the back ground going " Bandit! Bandit boy! Bandit boy! ". I miss that little cutie. Also little bubba man in the bag was so so cute!
Loved it!!!!! I love Hyacinth Macaws. They’re just incredible.
I wanted to adopt cockatoo but because of birdtricks i adopted Scarlet Macaw
All macaws are amazing
he always looks like he's like 😃
Great vid. We have a Green Wing and yep he was a shoulder rusher too....trained him and now he doesn't even feel comfortable up there after 3yrs.....he likes to stay on forearms....still working to get him to be on your hand with thumb over one foot....some success there, always a work in progress. Anyway, lots of people think they want the big birds......maybe you could do videos on how hard they really are. Like how much they eat, how quickly they destroy $30+ toys, how needy they get when bored, how noisy they can be when bored or even just crazy noisy they are when happy. Don't forget the messes they make...and don't forget big bird equals big poop and lots of it. Also how about how smart, mischievous, and manipulating they can really be. When our GW is bored and wants to play with the other birds like our cockatiel, he will go let him out of his cage. How about how quirky they can be as individuals, if we don't change out one of our GW stands poop papers down below it, he will pull the papers off himself and throw them around. Im sure big bird owners have lots of fun(?)quirky bird stories. All that said he is a member of the family and we couldn't be without him......but some days he pushes that pretty hard....🤦
Hearing "Bandit. Boy" brings tears to me eyes ;(
Yes, I would love to see more like this. Thank you!
My heart broke a little when I heard bandit at 11:19
Gorgeous bird and he learned so well.
Thanks for sharing this!!! beautiful bird, and so exciting the progress you were able to make with him!
Mother Nature provides us with such beautiful animals,plants,flowers, mountain scapes,you name it.What a beautiful bird.Thank you for this post from one bird lover to another.
Love this video. Would love to see more like it 100% 👍🏽
Loved the vid .... amazing that Hymie was able to crack open that macadamia nut .... I have trouble whacking it with a hammer. My heart skipped hearing Bandit in the background ... so nice to hear his voice. You are such an amazing trainer and he responded so well to you ..... Fly Hymie fly 🦜... you all stay safe over there in the USA .... 😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷
You can tell by his feathers how much his diet changed, he now looks so smooth and his feathers look full and lush.
I will gladly watch whatever you post. Respect from the UK
He seems so sweet and gentle!
First time i saw a macaw was at large fair and took pictures as a kid and when i saw their was a bird in my favorite color(blue) i thought it was super cool to have one as a pet. Got busy with life that was put on hold for years. But one day i will have one.
Great video! One thing I've learned living with a Hyacinth is that you don't own Hyacinth, Hyacinth owns you. 🤣🤣🤣
I love to watch videos for your project birds!
I was never really interested in them until I saw one in real life their beauty is UNREAL they glow??? You can just feel their power it's crazy lol my "dream" bird is more like my soft spot bird and that's a galah x little corella
@Wattle it wasn't the fact that she was a hybrid that made her my dream bird but her personality. She was honestly a quite ratty looking bird. So I guess really any bird that I connect with like that is my "dream bird"
You are the dream of the hyacinth God Bless you
I LOVE Hyacinth Macaws, Thay are my dream bird.
Omg baby jinx 😍. This is so interesting.
Maybe you could support the efforts of bringing Spix Macaws back in numbers so that other generations can see them in the wild some day, I believe some of them will be released from captivity in 2021 to bring the species back
I like the little squawk he makes
Birds and animals alike are so intelligent!!!
It was so weird watching the videos of Hymie and not seeing Capri next to you watching, learning, and helping!
The big blue bird, absolutely amazing creatures, I love them and really enjoyed this video
I would not want to get bit by this type of Macaw, that beak is huge.
Loved hearing bandit in the background 😍
He is so cute
Looked half year for a baby hyacinth & found one…but not having enough bird time, space, $$ for toys, cage, commitment training skills etc. ... reality set in... still quite content with my Sun C. & A. Gray tho. 🐤💛🐦🖤
Beautiful bird if ya can treat as deserved ...
I cannot get over the way you transform the lives of these birds. In the hands of others,they might not even make it, but with you, they thrive and I believe they fall in love. Anyway, they are so smart and you pull it out of them. Brava!
Ps. How will you be able to give him back...my heart is mush where animals are concerned! I love them and my heart breaks when I no longer have them. Even if I’m just a sitter.
“If of thy mortal goods thou art bereft and from thy slender store, two loaves alone to thee are left. Sell one, and with the dole, buy hyacinths to feed thy soul...” John Greenleaf Whittier
I have had Blue and Golds in the past. I would love to have a Hyacinth!! Outside flight training scares me to death!!
such a beautiful bird! And the footage holds up well enough lol. I'm interested in hearing how he is doing now and if the owner kept up with flight training etc.
I love the journeys you share with individual birds. It helps to fully appreciate them as a being and to realize how much we are taught and have to learn in life as we grow, and a great reminder to be patient in realizing that not everything comes intuitively. As well, in watching your videos I am continuously relearning how important communication is and consistency reinforces established communication.
Bird Tricks is so amazing and I am so thankful for this channel! And I'm not even a bird owner or care-taker!😄
I LOVE hyacinth macaws because of there coloring. All birds are a dream bird for me because I’ve never had a bird but I would like one if the future allows it.
I know I shouldn't want a macaw as my first bird, but the more I watch these videos the more I wish I had one.
that was my feeling and i elected to go with a pair of rescue pionus first. They are so great and i am learning a lot. i am hoping to add a blue and gold macaw one day, but there are things i want to learn first and i need to really work on making sure i have the environment set up correctly for them
woah! they are really big!
I took care of a female hyacinth macaw back in the early 1980s, for my artist friend Leroy Neiman. She tore up my house where I lived in Kailua on Oah
He's so fluffy and gentle!
Whoa. That is a huge, beautiful bird with a HUGE beak
Hearing Bandit brought a tear to my eye 😢
Bloodsail Buccaneer flashbacks intensify.
Hyacinth Macaws are my dream bird. I worked with a Salmon crested cockatoo when I was a young adult that had been attacking his owner. That lit the spark of interest in bigger birds, and I hope to get a Hyacinth when my kids are grown, they are so special ❤
So I'm watching a video about a hyacinth, and the budgie sounds in the background is reminding me how much I miss having them around!
Hymie is such a cutie! I don't think I would personally ever get a hyacinth but I definitely love them.
What a beautiful and wonderful process you have to get an attachment with this beautiful bird ❤️🥰
Such a majestic bird.
I donate to and regularly visit a local bird sanctuary which you can visit and handle the birds. They have a hyacinth macaw (Neville) who is one of my favourites there; so playful and friendly.
They are wonderful birds, full stop. With that said, they require a lot of commitment and care from their owners. As with most parrots, you are their flock, and want your love and attention.
I own a blue and gold and have handled a hyacinth many times. I love how gentle they can be!
