Jamie: I'm assuming you're new to birds because you're watching this video
Me: Nope...just obsessed with Birdtricks
I got my backpack today. This is the most professional pet backpack I've ever seen in the world. I've already trained my bird to love it through target training!
Thank you for the great review! So glad you are loving your Trackpack! ❤
I love them too so professional practical and just amazing
Olivia is such a snuggle sweetie . I love all their personalities
I didn't even see Olivia - she is good with camouflage
Not a new birb owner, I just watch your vids to make sure I'm still on track. All mine are rescues who came to me in a sad state of anxiety and mistreatment, I give them the best life I can and as much freedom I can afford. They love me back for it.
Jamie, you’re a trouper to get through the narration despite all the distractions! (Very cute distractions too.)
I am not new to having birds as pets. I still watch your videos! Only within the last 10 years has so much good information about pet parrots been spread and was easily available. Everything my family learned was with/through good educated avian vets or by ourselfes. And sometimes there is new stuff! Science finds something new everyday! Other times I just need the reassurence that I am not completely wrong even though I do almost everything different than any breeder I have met the past 20 years. Thanks for helping birds and their owners for a better life together!
Not new birdowner but I saw Bondi was in it so had to watch anyway. Hei Cutie. And Berry made her part of the show in the windows.
I love Olivia 💕 Such a cutie. Cute little face staring inquisitively at the at the camera. It's almost like she knew you were making a video and was like "ok I'm gonna be part of this thing too".
Wow I remember watching your channel 10 years ago. Here you are still going at it. Good for you!!!
Great video! I’m not a new bird owner but still watching because I love seeing your birds interacting with you, Bondi is soo funny 😆 love them! Totally agree with you on clipping wings it’s super sad it is still done😢 thanks for spreading awareness that they still can fly ❤
It seems downright crazy to me that anyone would have a bird just to disable it :(
Yaaay ❤❤❤ thank you for standing up for the birds! they do not deserve to have their wings clipped. Whoever thought of that is a pretty mean person.
Such a fun video! You keep going while a bird repels down you hair🙂
Beautiful box. Thanks for doing what you do ❤❤❤
been subscribed for years. i love your videos and your passion of birds.
Awesome vlog Jamie!! Hope you and your family are doing well!! Have a nice day!!
Ton of great information in this one. Nice job Jamieleigh.
Thank you Jamie, great tips and sound advice with it :)
I have been watching and learning for over 5 years now. Thanks for all the info.Keep on teaching & I will keep on learning. My flock is now 5 and I make improvements every year. LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH...a game changer in the parrot world
I always ♥ your advice. Having your birds in the video is entertaining, especially this one. 😊
Let me say thank you on all your help and advice, it is so helpful. Now let me get down to my story.
Some neighbor gave us a wild lilac red crown about 2 to 3 months old. It was in really bad shape, looks like it had a broken wing. It is a really hard to find a quality aviarian vet. The vet I took it to said it's wing was not broken and had full motion and that wing was clipped on that side. He suggested to clip the otherside to add balance, so that what he did. I can only assume on thats how his wing was injured, it hangs lower than the other side. I just cringe when he takes a leap to try and fly and then flops on the ground. I know that he is going to have a lot of emotional baggage. He is starting to trust me as I hand feed him. If you kmow where can I get a good avian vet that can check on the my birds wings. It will be over a year before its feathers grows back. 😢
I like your approach great video
Absolutely perfect & sound advice!! I’ve been in rescue for over 20yrs & have worked with exotic birds almost my whole life and couldn’t have said this better myself!! 👏🏻👏🏻
This is a helpful video. Wish I knew this when I started.
Hahaha… Bondi wants himself to tell us the information. He speaks louder than you in this video.😂😂😂 “hi, cutie”. What a cute little guy!!
It is a she,
yes galahs are so funny in there ways!
Well said
Thankyou so much for this video
Can’t wait to train my bird to nod yess (so adorably cute)
This video is speaking to me since I’m a new bird owner. I rescued a lovebird 8 days ago. I did all I could possible to find he’s owner but as of yet. No one came forward and no one seems to be looking for him as of yet which is very odd. He’s a young bird but not a baby though he acts like one. 😂 He’s free flighted and he’s cageless for now . I’ve been watching your channel for years though so I know what to do and what not to do but he’s got no idea vegetables and fruits are food so it’s not the easiest thing to convert but patience and understanding as well as resilience will do the trick in the long run. I named him Bandit btw .
If s/he is over 6 weeks s/he should have all feathers
Love birds under a year will have black p/very dark brown eyes and only show colour around 10-12 months
Hope all goes well
updates or questions (on literally anything bird) are very welcome
@@joebean3615 Thank you, I appreciate that! That’s a he btw. He’s fully flighted and he flies very well which lets me know he’s over a year old because baby birds are usually clipped and has a leg band on the right side so he’s male. However, that leg band was never registered which is strange. He’s a blue masked lovebird and their eyes are generally quite dark by nature regardless of their age. His black feathers on his head are still very black so he’s not old for sure. Lol I’m still doing all I can to find his human but no one seems to be looking for him. If I don’t find his human, I’ll be his forever home though.
@@PascaleLaurent81 blue masks are my favourite lovebird
Also it’s fine if he doesn’t know veggies are food if you can get him to play with them then he’ll eventually find it tastes good (most birds find very fun to destroy broccoli)
so good to hear the words forever home
One thing that I've learned is don't trust bird seller words, do your own research from people that won't get profits whether you buy their birds or not
Wow Olivia is so sweet ❤
My budgies love to cuddle and kiss me, they have been learning this new trick where they fly to me during target training and we both love it! I have had them for 7 months and they are definitely bonding to me. Love your guys channel soooo much. ❤️
Along with everyone else apparently, I'm not a new bird owner nor new to BT but still watched your video. 😂 Fun to watch you with your birds!
Best advice I have ever heard. "If you don't want an animal that can fly, don't get an animal that can fly"
Olivia is a sweetheart!
One of my flock also loves staying on hand like Olivia 🐦🦜😍
👌👏👏👏👏💜
Don't have a bird but am learning a lot, just incase I end up with one😅💜
great video. quick question. do you ever play music or bird chirping videos for birds? do you think birds would enjoy those?
Not sure if you answer these but I was wondering about a mini macaw I adopted over a year ago. I was recently informed by a new vet that he had a previous wing injury (before coming to me) which was never tended to and will never fly😢 how can I make his life more comfortable?! Should I put ladders everywhere? When he has fallen he drops straight down😢 hard and I don't want him to get hurt. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and keep doing these videos for us,you guys are amazing ❤
I am not new to birds, but I am new to having multiple birds. I was wondering if you had any info on how to get birds to get along with each other! I really need the help lol
I totally agree! If you don't want a bird to fly, don't get a bird!
I wanna say that i getting ready to move house and with 8 budgies, after full wing flying for 5 months, I don’t want escape out doors or windows in a house that has 4 people who don’t always close doors and windows or screens. And there are two dogs. So two budgies are never clipped- one female who is just bonded to the others- and one male who came to me damaged as a rescue with a broken wing. He keeps all feathers. I have trimmed the rest. Sadly but necessarily. I transport them all on six varied stick and twig sizes. They have 4 cages.
When transporting, I’ve got a padded carrier 10x7x12 - all dark, so they won’t bang around like they did in their 30 inch cage and scared me that their wing’s might break blood feathers.
This way I thought about wing clipping is thinking about my arms being cut off. I think wing clipping is cruel. One magical, special thing about birds is their ability to fly. I can just imagine the feeling of freedom and how beautiful nature would look from the top of a tree.
Are all the packing materials in your boxes bird friendly? That would be cool if you could use the packing for forging toys.
The chaotic energy of this video 😂
I just got a baby concure. What is the best pellet food to get?
Hi Jamie! My little parakeet Herman, is on a mostly seed diet with some fruits and vegetables. But he just refuses to eat pellets. Also I have the lafeabers budgie pellets. Can you help?
Hi, thanks for your videos, they are very informative. Like you, I believe birds should not have their wings clipped. Unfortunately, I had an Indian Ringneck and he flew away on May 11. 3 months have passed without coming back home. I am so desperate, 😢even if I still have my cockatiel with me whistling all day I can't forget my other bird. He had a special story. Anyway, what about clipping wings? We do or not? Now, I really don't know anymore...
I can confirm that wing clipping does not stop a bird from flying. Having worked with homing pigeons with clipped wings (not my birds, I do not own birds and never have), they can definitely still fly. It is just not as good or far compared to if they didnt have their wings clipped.
I had a quaker parrot given to me. Since I've had him, his feet have changed color as in getting darker on the top of his feet. And his beak has gotten darker. I took him to the vet, and he said, " I wouldn't worry about it." Since I have had him for 3 months at that point, I thought these were important changes. What do you think that would be from?
You get a bird and it changes your life. They want to be with their people for around 4 or so hours a day. Its a huge commitment
I love this red chested one. what is the name of the birds type and the color. Its soo beautiful. Do they get along well with parakeets I’m thinking of an aviary in the future
Are you talking about the large pink cockatoo? It's a rose-breasted cockatoo or better known as a galah here in Australia. They are very beautiful, very highly strung, very hard to keep healthy and a LOT of work. You cannot put a galah with parakeets, that won't work. I would advise spending time around some cockatoos before you get one. They are VERY loud, they have a nasty bite (they can bite you down to bone) and they will lose their temper and occasionally attack you and even though it's terrifying you have to show no fear and deal with it. Jamie has some excellent videos about cockatoo temperament. I have one, a 5 year old boy and he costs me a fortune, he's noisy, he wants attention 24/7 and can and will scream like a banshee for it, he bites me when he doesn't get his own way and he has full on tantrums like a toddler. He is magnificent, absolutely. He's also a complete and utter brat.
@Danica.Powell I loved your description of your bird 😂
@suelawson7273 I really do adore him but he's just full on, melodrama 24/7 and he will do anything for attention. I've seen him throw himself off his perch and then pretend that he fell off, he will hold a grudge, pretend he's happy, let me get him out and then once he's determined the best point of attack, follow through with great determination and repeatedly fly at my face like some kind of mad bomber plane. I would just hate for someone to get one and not know what they are actually like because that's a lot of unhappiness for the bird and for themselves if it just doesn't work out. They are rehomed far too often because they are difficult and shelters often won't take cockatoos as they are known screamers. They have it tough. They need us not to give up on them. My galah will hopefully be around for a good 40 years and he will drive me nuts at times but I won't give up on him. He would be devastated, he's my best mate and the one time he got sick, the vets had to send him home even though he was still pretty unwell because he wouldn't fight to get better if he wasn't with me. When I would go and visit him while he was staying at the vets for treatment he would be so lethargic and just huddled against his warmer but when he saw me he would force himself to climb onto me so that I would hold him. They are difficult but they have so much love to give.
I'm not familiar to having birds as pets but I watch you frequently because I want to be reminded at what little crazy hormone monsters they are....
My first two birds are budgies from a pet store- one thing I was grateful for is they wouldn't sell me just one bird if I was a new bird owner who wouldn't be home all the time as company. They would sell me two- of the same gender! They weren't happy selling mixed-gender pairs, especially to new owners. They also wouldn't sell me a cage below a certain size for the birds I was buying- I'd already done research on the type, size, bar spacing and such of a cage I would need, and the one they suggested to me met all those requirements easily. I wish and hope more people get positive experiences when acquiring a feathered friend!
So how do you keep them from flying away? That's the scariest thing about having them flighted.
Not everyone has a house with two sets of doors between the bird and -25C weather half the year. You can trim feathers to reduce range and speed of flight to prevent your birds dying in a stupid accident, butnleaving enough for the bird to fly a bit in the house.
My first unclipped parrot got spooked by the phone, someone arrived home opening the door, it flew out 50 feet up the air and got clawed in the head by a wild bird too far for me to reach it. There was no reasonable way to prevent this with an unclipped parrot. Keeping the bird in the cage all day is not reasonable. Expecting people to wait to cage the bird every time they need the door is not reasonsble.
Trimming a few flight feathers to reduce speed and range is reasonable.
My current parrot got "lost" outside several times over the decade+ I had him, a few meters away from the door, because I trimmed feathers just enough so it can fly around the house, but not get too far.
Sometimes in the Summer I take the high risk of letting more feathers there, because I fly it outside with a harness. This is a big risk. I know O will regret it if something happens.
Don't let people who demand perfection decide for you what you are allowed to do in life. You'll never be good enough to meet everyone's criteria.
Sure, listen to their advice, but adapt with what is reasonable in your environment.
You should do a HEY CUTIE
Why is it that when I talk to my bird to teach it to talk, it squaks at me ‘aak aak! It is a two year old Quaker.
Hi. I'm kind of looking for advice. Have had my budgie for 6 months now. She has gotten used to me and my partner, but she's still not eating or even trying anything other then seeds. I have tried many different fruits, berries and vegetables, but she always looks so scared of them and gets mad if I put any near her food. What do I do?
What does seed diet have to do with bonding?
Likely that poor, calorie-rich diet = poor health and obesity = grumpy mood = more agression = less social.
No bird vets ear me, I don’t drive, local vets are totally novices when it comes to vets, I have lost 2 birds to this, one poisoned, one bled to death post feather cyst😢
I would like to buy your seasonal feeding system for my parakeets but it's never available. I've been checking nonstop for months!
Please email info@birdtricks.com for assistance.
I have 2 parakeets. I tried to feed them fruits but they wont eat them. They will eat the inside of banana peel and carrots . Any suggestions
I have some questions ö.ö
I got my two Greencheeks since two years now and i was told they need a birdhouse or something they can go into... to sleep. Any yeah i build them a nice little home in a 160x150cm cage... so i dont want them to breed but if the spring comes around, well the eggs come too. Is the little birdhouse for this kind of bird needed and if so... how do I stop them from breeding?
I only give them seeds as a reward for training hand have them on a pallet and veggy diat and they can fly freely the whole day and visit there playspaces that i build from appletreebranches. None the less a real bond didnt accure in the last two years, witch is sad and i only make realy slow progression with them... is it because of the breeding? because... since the last spring and the change of my appartment, my male (Walter my little buddy) startet attacking his girl (Zerras my princess) at randoom and is now very shy if it comes to the tricktraining, barrly not to scarred to try ^^"
what am i doing wrong? ^^"
Silly question. 😅 but would an old sugar glider cage be an "ok" cage for a birb? I know you've spoken about this before, and it wouldn't be it's "only" habitat, I just had a friend who used to own sugar gliders, and told me I could have it for stupid cheap. Being I still have yet to purchase/adopt a birbby, it is powder coated steel. Figured I throw this out into the yt, universe, and get a response from at least another knowledgeable birby owner. ❤😊
It depends on the size of the cage, the bar spacing of the glider cage. Also how good shape the cage is in.
It probably depends on the bird. I have a galah like Jamie's and his cage is a massive stainless steel thing that cost an absolute fortune. He chews everything and his beak is very sharp. Also the bar spacing, if your bird can get its head through the bars then it's likely to get itself stuck and that's disastrous. When it comes to your bird, don't take the cheaper option. I know that sounds ridiculous, to go and spend thousands on a cage when you don't have to but the cage is your birds space, my bird isn't confined to his, he's got playstands and everything but he loves his cage, it's his sleeping place, he eats in there and all his favourite toys and perches are in there, you need to make it perfect for them really. They deserve that.
count
please just call the Galah's! yes they are from the Cockatoo, but here in Australia we just call 'em Galah's....
The biggest thing I see is that you need to have 2 birds. There are still friends who look at me like Im being mean by having 1
Looking aint bitching. Feel lucky
If you want an animal that doesn't fly, but you want a bird, then get a Cassowary...
I have an Indian ringneck, and it's the same devil, very badly behaved, I don't know what to do with him anymore😪😭😭😭😭😭😭.
You should tell Marlene Mc'Cohen about the clipping because she thinks it's ok to clip no matter the circumstances.
Yeah marlene is terrible Rocky regurgitate on her
@@joebean3615 because he was hormonal which she probably caused.
Yep and she’s not even aware that she’s doing it (I’m pretty sure cos if she did she’d change something
Bad test 18
First I love ur channel have been watching for a while I have a cinnamon conure , pls pin me ?
Oooo cinnamon is such a pretty color! How is your bird settling in so far?
Smash
Does purchasing a bird require looking like one as well?
We got a 16 year old African Grey male about 7 months ago. He is now used to us and the house so he roams freely when he wants to. The last month or so he just straight up fly at me and attacks me. He is not afraid. He bit a hole in my ear I could put a pencil through. The last owners used to get it high on weed all the time. Maybe I should give that a try? When hes not pissed off he's a pretty cool bird. He likes for me to pet him but avoids the wife like a plague. I think he can see all her demons.
Flying is so important to their health. I loved how you said that... 'if you don't want an animal that flies, don't get a bird.'
I call it disabling birds. Don't disable your animal :(
I love this channel. I wish it could a requirement that anyone who wants a bird must watch your channel and take a bird class before adding a bird to their family. I have learned so much and I have been owned by fids(feathered kids) in the past. Currently I have none. I still love watching your channel. 🐦🐥🐤🐣🕊🦜🦜🦜
