This is the first time I've ever seen a yellow-tailed black cockatoo. Love the blue tummy, yellow earpatches and the white eyerings. What a stunning bird!
For the last several days I've been watching parrot videos, and today I happened to meet a man from Australia. I was describing how I was enjoying watching cockatoos, and he said they're annoying because they make too much noise and eat things...so much for my enjoyment.
I'm from Australia and I love cockatoos. Alot of people here call them cockys. Don't listen to the haters they take this beautiful land and it's creatures for granted hahA!
In Australia, one often hears the various parrots, We take it for granted. I travelled to the states a long time ago and was surprised how quiet the wilderness is there comparatively.
Bumi is really growing into a beautiful sight to behold. Good job raising him. I can see his new mom is continuing the super care. Looking forward to seeing more Bumi with the rest of the play/fly group.
I sure did, from 1 day old. was verrrrrrrrry time consuming haha The parents have x2 chicks each year and let one die, so we decided to hand rear the 2nd.
+Karen Brown. All black Cockatoo species only raise one chick. White cockatoos raise their entire clutch and the males take turns with the females incubating the eggs.
My little Cockatiel got nearly swooped up by an owl right off my shoulder. It scared the hell out of us both and thankfully missed. I would be terrified to even let him come out with me for my morning drink coffee in my back yard routine. I live in Phoenix AZ. No idea what kind of owl, but it was huge.
What an awesome community you guys are.... oh I would love a bird. They are very special characters and all so individual in personalities. Been watching your vids for about an hour now and am feeling very relaxed lol. :)
im a big believer that each companion parrot needs a bare minimum of 4 hours per day one on one, so the moment you get more then one your life on a daily basis is heavily impacted haha so its not always fair on the bird when people get so many. unless they are in a flighted aviary :)
yeah allowing a bird to keep flight is the healthiest and most natural enrichment you can give. theres a brilliant article worth reading if interested here on flight with birds www.adventuresofroku.com/Educational.php
its heavily time consuming though haha I turn more ppl away from it then to it tbh. If you go to www.adventuresofroku.com/Educational.php and start from the bottom up you will find the info on how to get started and if your bird is suitable :)
your birds are awesome. did it take long to train them not to just fly away ? I live in Florida and lost one that was very playful and I thought tame but I was slowly taking him further and further out and got spooked by something and I haven't seen him since.
It's more about having the right understanding and knowledge base, many people think its based on recall or relationship and its actually neither of those which is why many birds are lost with this kind of thinking. I talk about it a bit more in the video "How to Train your Parrot to Free Fly" Otherwise the science based training course is at www.libertywings.com, you can register in top left hand side of the home page :)
Where can I get the harness you are using for the birds? I will be adopting a 25 year young B&G soon and want to spend lots of outdoor time. I am a little worried about hawks in the area. In this case closer is safer.
we have far more raptors here haha theres hawks & raptors out with us daily, ive started including them in the videos. The risk is very very low when the right factors are on your side www.adventuresofroku.com/Educational.php However a 25yo BnG would benefit most from harness, free flight would most likely be out of the question. The harness I highly recommend is the Aviator harness, you can get them on Ebay. A blue and gold would probably be a Large or X-Large depending on its size. Hope this helps!
Alexandria Knox trained extremely well. All those birds have probably had months of initial daily training and even then I’m still worried every time I take my guys out
haha if you check out the baby bird madness playlist you will see videos of when I was hand rearing him. He's not free flight trained as this can only be done within the birds capabilities and developmentally Bumi does not have the skill base yet, and he may never only time will tell. The good news however is that he is now harness trained and enjoys seeing it come out as he associates it with outdoor time. It's important to note though, that even if Bumi was free flight trained he would be doing pretty much what he is doing now which is sticking like glue to his owner or chewing up the trees. It's not a natural behaviour for him or his species to fly and flock with the other birds, he's very independent from them and only likes his humans company :D www.adventuresofroku.com/Educational.php has more info on the free flight training if your interested :)
not all birds that attend our playdates are free flight trained, its not a realistic expectation to have every parrot free flighted. This is because not every parrot can or should be free flight trained. It's also because free flight training is a serious and heavy time commitment. It can take up to 8-10hours per day in the beginning sometimes more, then once finally completed its ongoing for at least 1-2hrs per day. If you start free flying a parrot you cannot stop, no matter what your excuse. I would say bare minimum you need 5days per week free flying, this is because once you expose a parrot to this kind of brain development and stimulation stopping or limiting this can cause serious mental and physical health issues. Negative behaviours will soon be shown, plucking and self harm can be one. So many owners who are serious and responsible, look at this , their birds developmental history (they may not even be able too) and then make the decision to harness train instead as this is the next best option which allows far more flexibility. Vital to know that harness training is not a stepping stone to free flight, the harness is not a tool for free flight, in fact harness training is the polar opposite and its use (if flying on harness) can permanently impact your birds flight skill if the goal is to free fly. www.adventuresofroku.com/Educational.php for detailed info
we most Definitely do not clip our birds, the whole channel is advocating for fully flighted parrots. They can easily fly high if theres a need and a want, their flight patterns in this video is natural and suited for what they are wanting to do at this point in time. Parrots tend to fly much higher when travelling, these guys are just playing and having fun in a local area, no need to fly high.

where did you buy the yellow tailed black cockatoo and how many did you pay? #PORTUGALSEEYOU
My parrots already hatched, I put a down payment for two Golden Conures to take home in August. I shall also be taking Chris Biro's course on freelfight. It's pricey but worth it to keep the birds happy and safe.
aww brilliant! the foundational knowledge I find is so crucial you just don't get that if you randomly go reading some posts online and then trying. well done :) can't wait to see your bird in action!
that is so amzing. i didnt let my billed corella free flight for atleast two years. the first time in sydney by accident. we lost him for 6 hours. i was worried he was lost. i didnt mind if he wanted to fly away. but he got spooked. and deep down i wanted him to come back but was worried he got lost. he went kms before resting in a tree. ive learnt since these were silly concerns. theyre birds navigation is natural to them. a year later i moved to 100acres rural property and let out all the time. sometimes when i would stay at partners he would range for as long as 8 days before returning. he would only come down for me or food. corellas are so hypo, i feel they're like a working dog. you got to give them exercise. for a bird exercise is flight. if you do give them exercise they cause havoc around the house pulling buttons of all ya shirts. it calms theyre temperament
we are highly against wing clipping, the whole channel and website is dedicated to promotion of flight (does not have to be free flight) if you go to the website www.adventuresofroku.com you will find some amazing wing clipping articles!
these fears are normal and they come from a place of not understanding the science and processes behind free flight :) I've answered in detail in the education tab on www.adventuresofroku.com if you wanted to check that out :D Hope that helps :)
Thankyou i had a little read, i think id always be too nervous to get to the point where it was time to try and let my ronnie free fly im just too anxious when it comes to him lol
nope :) as long as the science is understood and right development its pretty safe. www.adventuresofroku.com/Educational.php explains it in detail at the bottom :)
again its always best to source facts before making unnecessary statements. It's crucial to understand that not all birds that come to our play dates are free flight trained, it's ridiculous to make that a pre-requisite to come along and join in on the fun. As for the yellow tailed black cockatoo, he's not disturbed he's not free flight trained not at full maturity. He's actually showing completely natural behaviours this does not make him "disturbed" it makes him a yell tailed black lol. Remember these are a native species to Australia that are not found as pets anywhere else in the world due to it being strictly illegal to export them out of the country, hence why many people are unfamiliar with their developmental stages and their natural sounds/behaviours.
i call it how i see it and i ddint say the one not flying was disturbed im saying your birds are and i can see enough from body language that your birds are curious and a little upset hes not flying.
Again the issue is that you have 5% of a picture and fill in the remaining 95% with an assumption. The birds are not upset that he is not flying at all, they behave this way simply because he is a large yellow tailed black. Almost all of the smaller birds are wary of him when they meet him, many of them making danger calls. However the birds who see him regularly accept him but show very little interest in him, he also has zero interest in any birds and has never interacted with another outside of his species. This is shown in indoor home environments, and enclosed environments with all other birds present. It is also seen in the wild, they YTB do not mingle or really associate with other species of parrots. I apologise for misreading your original statement though the answer is still much the same, it's simply because your unfamiliar with the species and the dynamics of relationship with him and the birds shown in video. If you watch his other videos you will quickly see what I mean about him being solitary and the other birds not wanting to be near him, either way its not because he is not free flighted as that would imply they want to fly alongside him and its very evident that is not the case (ie they fly away from him when he does fly)

Adventures of Roku hi dear , can a chick or eggs of that black one parrot please.... I am Duke from Japan
This beings are incredible.
This is the first time I've ever seen a yellow-tailed black cockatoo. Love the blue tummy, yellow earpatches and the white eyerings. What a stunning bird!
Vicky Abramowitz - The blue on his belly was just his harness/feather tether.
Kris Diel Thank you for letting me know. He's such a beauty.
Kris Diel It's actually an Aviator harness
Oscar The Grouch - Thanks. It's hard to tell from a video.
Kris Diel The Aviator harness is the only harness with a bungee cord and one piece
For the last several days I've been watching parrot videos, and today I happened to meet a man from Australia. I was describing how I was enjoying watching cockatoos, and he said they're annoying because they make too much noise and eat things...so much for my enjoyment.

The joy of watching your birds in free flight, awesome
I love to watch your videos. Your parrots love you, you are so great with them.
Mashallah. Very good. I love parrots.
So cute all ur parrots behaviour.... always attract me to drop here
Such Beautiful winged creatures, you are very Blessed.😉❤😀
Wow that black parrot, Gorgeous.
The bond that can be made between a bird and it's human is quite amazing. I have never seen a black cockatoo, amazing.
Bumi is really growing into a beautiful sight to behold. Good job raising him. I can see his new mom is continuing the super care. Looking forward to seeing more Bumi with the rest of the play/fly group.
Bumi is just delisiously adorable, and so is Pabu and Corra, of course!!! Bumi has such an endearing noise.
Did you rear little boy, Bumi?
I sure did, from 1 day old. was verrrrrrrrry time consuming haha
The parents have x2 chicks each year and let one die, so we decided to hand rear the 2nd.
+Karen Brown. All black Cockatoo species only raise one chick. White cockatoos raise their entire clutch and the males take turns with the females incubating the eggs.
Ok. Ive officially fallen in love with Bumi and his adorable voice and sounds 😍😍😍😍
I love bumi so much 😘I love to see him in your videos 😍 (I love all the birds as well 😊)
yeah he is a handsome boy!
Was waiting for a new video all day! Love these videos. Keep up the great work!
What a beautiful bunch 🐥
My little Cockatiel got nearly swooped up by an owl right off my shoulder. It scared the hell out of us both and thankfully missed. I would be terrified to even let him come out with me for my morning drink coffee in my back yard routine. I live in Phoenix AZ. No idea what kind of owl, but it was huge.
yeah its very common and a big reason why I never recommend taking out cockatiels/budgies etc outdoors without a carry cage etc.
That looks like so much fun!
What an awesome community you guys are.... oh I would love a bird. They are very special characters and all so individual in personalities. Been watching your vids for about an hour now and am feeling very relaxed lol. :)
Omg I’ve never seen the black and yellow omg that is cool they just Cruze around
I love your birds. I want every type that u have.
im a big believer that each companion parrot needs a bare minimum of 4 hours per day one on one, so the moment you get more then one your life on a daily basis is heavily impacted haha so its not always fair on the bird when people get so many. unless they are in a flighted aviary :)
Amazing birds! Awesome video.
really so beautiful all parrot
i love bumi's noise
I am in love with your birds so awesome haaha
beautiful birds :D
They birds always seem so happy and contented compared to the ones we see up here, which are all confined to houses or aviaries.
yeah allowing a bird to keep flight is the healthiest and most natural enrichment you can give. theres a brilliant article worth reading if interested here on flight with birds www.adventuresofroku.com/Educational.php
Korro is a beautiful bird
Really cool birds I want to get a bird like the Cockatoo you have but I want to research it first
I'm jealous your birds are beautiful how did you train them for free flight
its heavily time consuming though haha I turn more ppl away from it then to it tbh. If you go to www.adventuresofroku.com/Educational.php and start from the bottom up you will find the info on how to get started and if your bird is suitable :)
what amazing cuties
wow wow wow!
I really want to take care of Yellow Tailed Black, but here rarely have it, what's expensive? I realy realy love Bumi , funny and cute baby 😍
They are Australian natives and not found overseas, only very very few people have them. :)
your birds are awesome. did it take long to train them not to just fly away ? I live in Florida and lost one that was very playful and I thought tame but I was slowly taking him further and further out and got spooked by something and I haven't seen him since.

NICE VERY VERY NICE GOD IS GREAT
Do you ever get dizzy trying to keep up with them when they are flying?
yes all the time! its crazy haha
AMAZING !!!!!
Bumi's back!!
Black wala ak No 1 lovely 😍😍😍😍
Where can I get the harness you are using for the birds? I will be adopting a 25 year young B&G soon and want to spend lots of outdoor time. I am a little worried about hawks in the area. In this case closer is safer.

A blue and gold would probably be a Large or X-Large depending on its size.
Hope this helps!
I absolutely adore Bumi's honk. He's so cute!
how do you keep them from flying away
what if they decide not to come home?
Alexandria Knox trained extremely well. All those birds have probably had months of initial daily training and even then I’m still worried every time I take my guys out
hey roku how long does the yellow tailed black cockatoos roughly live for? i know there state of mind can change it so lets say a happy one?
and what one is roku i can never make it out :D
about 80 years :) Roku is the blue and gold macaw :D
Bumi is stunning!!! Is he flight trained? Cuz I don't see him/her flying around on play dates.
haha if you check out the baby bird madness playlist you will see videos of when I was hand rearing him.
He's not free flight trained as this can only be done within the birds capabilities and developmentally Bumi does not have the skill base yet, and he may never only time will tell.

www.adventuresofroku.com/Educational.php has more info on the free flight training if your interested :)
Does the Black one fly? I don't know all their names yet. he is always on a leash?
not all birds that attend our playdates are free flight trained, its not a realistic expectation to have every parrot free flighted.
This is because not every parrot can or should be free flight trained.
It's also because free flight training is a serious and heavy time commitment. It can take up to 8-10hours per day in the beginning sometimes more, then once finally completed its ongoing for at least 1-2hrs per day.

What keeps the macaw from flying away?
its all explained in detail on the website :) www.adventuresofroku.com
Does anyone have a Green Winged Macaw other than you in your group?
Where's that flock of cockatoos coming from? I thought you guys where in the US...
We live in Australia :) theres thousands of wild parrots here haha
Can't wait to see Roku and Korra together again.
they are together everyday I just don't have time to take the videos, been crazy with uni at the moment! next week i should get a chance :D
Adventures of Roku sax
Question why can't they fly higher are their wings cut a certain way or just one
we most Definitely do not clip our birds, the whole channel is advocating for fully flighted parrots. They can easily fly high if theres a need and a want, their flight patterns in this video is natural and suited for what they are wanting to do at this point in time. Parrots tend to fly much higher when travelling, these guys are just playing and having fun in a local area, no need to fly high.
where did you buy the yellow tailed black cockatoo and how many did you pay? #PORTUGALSEEYOU
I hand reared him from a local breeding pair we have here, however I cannot help with prices outside of my country or state as they all vary.
Hi, 6 classes on liberty wings are 300 dollars, right?
My parrots already hatched, I put a down payment for two Golden Conures to take home in August. I shall also be taking Chris Biro's course on freelfight. It's pricey but worth it to keep the birds happy and safe.
I think it varies depending on where you are, I think I paid $550 (Australian) but was so worth it haha
I ended up doing it and I only have 1 class left :) I payed 280€ and yeah it is worth it!
aww brilliant! the foundational knowledge I find is so crucial you just don't get that if you randomly go reading some posts online and then trying. well done :) can't wait to see your bird in action!
that is so amzing. i didnt let my billed corella free flight for atleast two years. the first time in sydney by accident. we lost him for 6 hours. i was worried he was lost. i didnt mind if he wanted to fly away. but he got spooked. and deep down i wanted him to come back but was worried he got lost. he went kms before resting in a tree. ive learnt since these were silly concerns. theyre birds navigation is natural to them. a year later i moved to 100acres rural property and let out all the time. sometimes when i would stay at partners he would range for as long as 8 days before returning. he would only come down for me or food. corellas are so hypo, i feel they're like a working dog. you got to give them exercise. for a bird exercise is flight. if you do give them exercise they cause havoc around the house pulling buttons of all ya shirts. it calms theyre temperament
Where are you from?
😍😍❤️👏👏
Can you export in Bangladesh or India
no never, thats not only illegal but I find cruel and unethical. We are in Australia :)
Are they Australian
how come bumis wings cross like that?
NomNomNom DESU A lot of Parrots wings are like that
Don't cage them,i love them to see flying
"Bwahhhh... Bwahhhh..."

bello candy candy
my friend 😘😘😘
Cok guzel
How old is Bumi?

kitna price hai
Thank you for not cutting their feathers and letting them fly freely.
we are highly against wing clipping, the whole channel and website is dedicated to promotion of flight (does not have to be free flight) if you go to the website www.adventuresofroku.com you will find some amazing wing clipping articles!
Where was Roku
I take Roku & Korra out separately at these locations :) they each get a turn everyday :)
hellojeffery
my friend 😘😘😘😘
😍😍☺☺
what if he flew away tho , id never sleep again if mine did
these fears are normal and they come from a place of not understanding the science and processes behind free flight :)
I've answered in detail in the education tab on www.adventuresofroku.com if you wanted to check that out :D
Hope that helps :)
Thankyou i had a little read, i think id always be too nervous to get to the point where it was time to try and let my ronnie free fly im just too anxious when it comes to him lol
Lovely to what your videos beautiful happy birds x
and have you ever lost a bird free flying ?:(
nope :) as long as the science is understood and right development its pretty safe. www.adventuresofroku.com/Educational.php explains it in detail at the bottom :)
thats great to hear :) sorry for the sea of comments
haha no need to apologise, id rather people ask questions then assume the worst.
i have 1 word to describe that 🚹and that is tripoli.
Your birds are disturbed hes not flying
again its always best to source facts before making unnecessary statements.
It's crucial to understand that not all birds that come to our play dates are free flight trained, it's ridiculous to make that a pre-requisite to come along and join in on the fun.

خلته كلب تسحبه
The bird doesn’t like you
