Seeing a flock of wild galahs in the early morning flying from a huge gum tree and then playing together ,flying acrobatics calling to each other is one of my favourite things to see when I get off night work early in morning.Opal is a beautiful baby, hope she has along happy life.
Some idiots decided to free fly their Amazon’s at Ocean Beach near my house a couple of years ago, and they spent about 10 minutes free flying, and then 12 hours looking for 3 of their bird who got chased by the massive predatory birds that are well known for hanging around the beachfront
The freedom they experience must feel like a baby does taking those steps that turn into a short run. I lost a Speckled Parrolet in 2010 when the front door and lanai screen door were opened by a house guest at the same time. Then in 2017 I lost my male Quaker of 7 years when my wife went out the same doors for a cigarette. She didn't notice that he was on her shoulder when she opened the screen door he flew out into the night, it was 9:30pm. Watching how Dave and Jamie work with our winged friends has taught me a lot. I replaced my male Quaker with a female who imprinted me and never leaves me out of her sight but for a short very short moment. Love you guys!!!!
@birdtricks I can see how the galah kind of struggle with the wind , as it was trying to land on the owner's hand. This footage is really an eye opener , for me , about the wind and birds. And I love how you make comparison of footage between how well the galah has been trained at home and when it was the actual free flying trip , and glad that there was a gps tracker attached to the bird. Eventhough birds naturally fly, but they really have to learn how to fly and cope with problems during flights. Thanks for sharing.
Love when you share these clips giving us the opportunity to meet the people and their feathered babies. Opal did such a great job, even on her first day, but wow, by the second she had mastered it! So glad they picked BirdTricks for instruction, from what I've seen out there you are not only learning a skill, you have also made good friends.
that bird is one amazing flyer! watching the channel a lot of the birds seem to get tired more quickly but wow she went on for so long! Opal must have been so happy! beautiful!
I was too. Opal was very young but Dave and Jammie know what they are talking about. Trust me I question them numerous times. There are risks in everything but their track record and dedication to the birds is amazing. Besides the thought of not letting my bird experience free flight is even more terrifying.
I wish free flight was an option here in South Louisiana, but unfortunately the prey bird population here is quite large and we even have to watch our small dogs, much less a bird in flight.
This is kinda weird but my conure learned how to fly on his own he had his wings fully clipped for 3 months and he always wanted to fly with my other conure and he would try and just fall on the floor and he would always walk down the stair and knew how to walk up the stairs and now he’s like a pro flyer he flies every where even if I leave the room with out the door closed he will fly all the downstairs to find me and my other conure will just follow along
Birdtricks, would you make a video on how your birds smell ? My African Grey smells like a chicken and my Moustached parakeet stinks like a musty new car smell. lol I could sniff the Moustached Parakeet all day long. ha ha
My pineapple green cheek conure can just stick to flying around the house she has an outdoor cage I put her in a hour or so a couple times a day that's it
Hello, I have an 1 year alexandrine parakeet and he, from one day, is in a cabinet and dont want exit and scream and try to Bite everyone try to go close to it. Can be in the bluffing phase ? What i can do ? Thanks
Can you suggest me wht should I do when my alexandrine parrots bite me. They are of 3 ½ months nd both of them bite everyone in the house. They are with me since they were of 1month. They don't even stay at one place when i try to train them. They just fly away. Plz suggest
The Magpies and other Corvids in our back yard DO NOT go near Galahs or other parrots . Knowing Galahs can and do chew the antennae's off Microwave dishes makes you realise just how tough these birds are. We used to shoot at flocks of them in their thousands to scare them out of the wheat fields, they do not care. The joke goes that to cook one you put it in a pot with a rock and when the rock is soft, eat the rock. As a kid we always had galahs at home. They nest in hollows one bird on top of the next, the last birds to hatch usually die from being under the mess and missing out on food. We used to illegally rescue the bottom 2 birds and hand raise them. We do not have house birds now as we prefer to just watch the free ones
Number (1)…..for your bird and you…. GLAD YOU FOUND BIRDTRICKS. 2…Clipped wings on a bird is a straight…. NO! 3……GPS and Telemetry….always a YES! 4……Birdtricks feeding system….YES…because that’s what makes your birds live long and prosper.😉. When Opal flew off, I knew it was a combination of factors that took her on that exploratory flight. AND, for me…I Knew You Would Get Opal Back. Safe and Sound. Bird owners….stay with Birdtricks. Love, ❤️🦜NanaJanet🦜❤️
Is it okay if I haven’t gotten any parrots but is planning to get a Pineapple Cheek Conure, and a Green Cheek Conure. I’m doing lots of research and probably getting them 2 years from now. My parents don’t mind and 2 years from now I’ll be 13 so I’ll probably be ready. I just hope my life would be enough for it.
I’m also a free flight student. We work intensively on the bond between parrot and trainer. That bond is what keeps the parrots returning. The birds will have their fun flying but they’re motivated to return to their trainer.
Maybe you didn't understand how this all went down. Opal was learning to fly outside and had difficulties getting back. She went to ground and was harassed into flying further away. We didn't "capture him" after the chase, we found him and he happily came to us as he was trying to do all along. Opal sat on my hand for hours that night just happy to be with us and then every day for the rest of that week we went out and did it again. The training builds a bond of trust and a feeling of safety. Opal did everything he could to get back to us.
Is there a way to contact you? I would love advice on 3 young but flighty cockatiels. I cant get them to step up. Do I separate and work only one at a time, do I try and do all 3? Getting super frustrated because I'm not making progress and feel they are getting more and more afraid of me.
Go to birdtricks.com. They have videos and consultants you can purchase. IT IS WORTH THE MONEY! I have a cockatiel that I did EVERYTHING wrong with in the beginning. He was very hand shy and would be scared, defensive and aggressive at times. He has completely turned around and now flys to us when called and loves hanging out with us. I have minimal issues with him now. When I do have an issue, I now have the tools and knowledge to turned the situation around and it's like that moment didn't happen. I hope you check it out. Sending some love to your teils❣
Hey i have a question, I got a new cockatiel, and i just got him to eat out of my hand, but whenever i take the treat (like a nutriberry) away, he lashes out and kind off tries to bite my hand. How do i stop him from doing that?
@@Spiderific Yeah i know but i usually let him eat from a long piece of millet, and he can't eat all of it... He's still very young so he doesnt really take sunflowerseats or other big hard seeds... Dont i encourage the behavior if i let them have it even after being agressive?
@@ancore6761 Best thing to do for the little ones is get a millet clip. This clips the millet strand to the cage or wherever else you want to clip it. Then the bird can eat and you can take it away when the bird walks away from it. For snacks, best to just put it in the bird's bowl and take it out when they are done. Birds are just naturally territorial with food. It's a wild instinct in them to protect their food. Best thing to do is work around those instincts rather than try to train them out, because that will just hurt your relationship and it won't work in the end.
@@Spiderific Thank you, i get that. I just don't know what to do during training because he doesnt really eat anything else as a treat, and i can't let him keep eating until he has had enough cuz then the training wont work :/
Please let me know if you guys are ever planning to do these group sessions in brisbane queensland australia. I realllly wanna try this but i have no idea who to go to for help. My lil man comes when called. But im too scared to take him outside without experienced help. Please let me know if you ever do a trip down under! I will happily pay for your expertise!

This is what I get to see every day too in the bush across the road from me.
I’m not sure I could do the second day. I’m glad they had the telemetry and tracker.

@@doctoroclock7732 some people watch these videos and think it's a great idea to try the same in a different environment.
I would be shook for weeks
Whoever edited the music and the rockstar galah headbang to sync at the same time, your work did not go unnoticed 🎸🤘🏽. Thank you for your service.
Wow! Glad the galah is safe now 😁
I would freak out if my cookie did that I’m glad she’s back wow
Love watching these owners giving their birds some fun flying adventures!

That's awesome! Great bird parents, letting their birb be a birb!
I was waiting for this video!! It was so fun flying with Opal with our galah-Congrats Opal!!!
I love watching Opal fly!! Galahs are fantastic 💜
Opal is awesome!
Opal is such a pretty name and pretty bird! She seems like a wonderful little wanderer
Earliest I've been to any video! Exited to watch :)
Opal did so well against the winds!! Loved that random quad bike segment XDD
Wow this video was a emotional roller coaster glad that you guys found her
The husband is hilarious :D
How wonderful!

Omg 😳.. I would be terrified of loosing one of my birds.

I LOVE THESE VIDEOS! Thank you so much for it 💜💜💜
I can't wait for the day that I can have a bird in my life and be able to fly with you guys! 🤩🥰💯💜
When She told them to be quiet I stopped talking and got scared haha...
Haha I did too!
“Shhhh! Mom said to be quiet! When she does that, she means business!” 😂
So beautiful and joyful. Thanks.
It must be scary to have a bird that’s that excited for free flying WITHOUT any training
Yay! Another free-flight video!! 😁
I wish free flight was an option here in South Louisiana, but unfortunately the prey bird population here is quite large and we even have to watch our small dogs, much less a bird in flight.
Hey Jamie Leigh what ever happened with Sunny and his new wings? Did he end up being able to fly or were his muscles too atrophied?
the endings of your videos😂
This is kinda weird but my conure learned how to fly on his own he had his wings fully clipped for 3 months and he always wanted to fly with my other conure and he would try and just fall on the floor and he would always walk down the stair and knew how to walk up the stairs and now he’s like a pro flyer he flies every where even if I leave the room with out the door closed he will fly all the downstairs to find me and my other conure will just follow along
What happened to Touche?
Birdtricks, would you make a video on how your birds smell ?

Hi i need help how many times should i bathe my budgie in a week
Ahhhhh that’s my best friends bird!!! (Her parents)

Can be in the bluffing phase ?
What i can do ? Thanks
What is this “I like” song?
I would love to see cockatiels free flight training
Due to their small size, free flying cockatiels is very unsafe for them.
Check out Parrot Volancy they have videos on insta and youTube of free flying cockatiels. TielZone on RUclips as well

I just got a bird and I’m struggling so much I need help
Do you think that a bird that "tasted"liberty will be more prone to do it again ? And again until...He succed.
