I have to say thank you, Bridget. So often all we see is the "cute" or "fun" side of owning a parrot, let alone a Ringneck. I applaud you for sharing the struggles with us as well and allowing us to see that, sometimes, it's not all fun and games.
@@thepiper5522 as it can/should be. I still miss my little girl every day. My point is that unless one is prepared for the care required, a ringneck might not be the best option. It's like living with a two year old for the rest of their life. They talk, they throw tantrums, they cause mischief, then they look at you and do something so adorable that you can't possibly stay mad. It can be a little hard, but so worth it.
That was was I told about cockatiels... Oh they are so loving, so easily worked with.. always want to be cuddled and loved.... Then you find out they are literally famous for cockatiel rages in the animal world. They nest in my ball gown and ate my loom which isn't the same as the expensive wooden toys I bought that they apparently equate with insulting their mothers. I have literally used the statement.. Sir, I swear the parrots ate my paper, look I brought it to you! Whole days have been spent just keeping them from killing themselves and I can say they don't appreciate my efforts.... I really do love the demon twins though, worth it. Still so nice to see others suffer after all those cute videos that make me feel a little incompetent.
Birb talk. Birb not cooperate. Such patience and perseverance. Even the anger and frustration is gentle. Hamlet truly is blessed to have your care and affection. 💝
At least unlike the toddler, you don't have to ask the bird, "Are you SURE you don't need to use the bathroom?" about a thousand times, only for RIGHT AS YOU'RE ABOUT TO LEAVE, a little voice pipes up with, "I have to go potty!" 😂
Lmao 🤣 😆🤣 I must admit I just told my dog that it’s good to know that we are not alone in our loving frustrationness… as I again showed him the expensive ramp I recently purchased for him to use to come in the house because steps are too hard… that he just shrugged at 🤦♀️🐶💕 And I might have laughed at the trauma of trying to get Ham in his travel pack, while he played ninja games. But I was laughing in empathy! Truly! And thinking that although the wings are an added obstacle, having such a tiny light ninja has up sides compared to the 45kg heavy “I’m a floppy starfish” canine when he doesn’t want to go somewhere that usually has a timeframe attached.
I know the feeling of frustrated to tears when a bird just outright refuses to cooperate- i can't count how many times i've had to put cushions on every landing spot downstairs for my cockatiel to get him to stop flying away when I try to take him upstairs to bed XD literal toddlers
I literally had a mental breakdown the other day because my tiel got to my laptop keys AGAIN!! 😭😭 I was able to fix them but they really are toddlers and you have to remind yourself YOU LOVE THEM!! 😅😂
You have the patience of a Saint, Bridget! But you're both hilarious and a joy to watch. Ham might be a handful sometimes but I can you both love each other very much!!
Don't blame him, the last time you brought him out or at least last outing I watched, he was accosted by magpies!! 🤣🤣 Remember that little fiasco Bridget?... Maybe just promise him they're be no magpies this time! Might work? 😂😂... Love Hamlet! 🇨🇦✌️
A magpie confrontation Seriously. OH wow. Poor little soul! Magpie video here I come. Hi Bridgette you two are adorable! I know why ducks have feathers! To cover their butt-quacks. Might work here also. Kidding ❤
Ham!! Go in!! You don't know what you're missing!! Outside is nice!! I just saw Tico full of joy singing opera on the shoulder of his 'dad' on bycicle 😂 That can be you Ham! Well, if Bridgit wants to paddle that is...
Ahahahahah this is the cutest thing ever lolol just like a kid, get in the car THE WHAT......WHERE..... WHO!!!???? KISSES!!!!! LOLOL and your accent when you said you didnt get it from me and definitely not steve..... was hilarious! The drama here is awesome!!! Lolol
Thank you for sharing this. I see too many parrots do as they're told as it seems so easy. They always make me think what I'm doing wrong because my parrot doesn't listen either. I have to realize you have to do things on their terms. They're just tiny babies. Lol
LOL! Ham's just tooo funny. Here we go, same thing, can't get Bella into her travel cage for vet visits either. Takes trickery and she way out smarts us every single time.
Oh, my seed, this is so funny. Hamlet is truly "hamming" it up with you, Bridget. I absolutely adore watching your videos with Hamlet. He's wonderful! Thank you for sharing the silly life of little Hamlet, Bridget. Always brings a smile to my face. 😊❤
This is me with my Conure when it's time for her to go to bed. She hides on my back where I can't reach her, in the end I have to get the treats out. My ringneck takes herself to bed. 😂
😂😂😂😂All part of his grand plan, he wanted to go to the pet store all along!!! LOL. Act like you're going out get his bag ready, than when he doesn't want to get in the bag pretend to leave without him. Try this a few times and see what happens. I bet he'll train himself real quwick to get in the bag. 😂😂😂 Have you considered having his wings clip? Do you think you could trust him enough to have him travel without the bag?
I'm happy mine (Amazon) goes in no problem. This is hilarious! It is so exactly what having a parrot is all about 😂 I've made those same "this is SO fun 😬 " statements.
I remember trying to force my budgies in their travel cage, but luckily they were small enough to place them in there without struggle. Well done for persevering, the trick is to get them to associate the travel cage with treats👏
No idea why RUclips would put this in my feed (which is mostly video games, toy collecting and wrestling.) but glad they did it was entertaining! Cool post.
You gotta watch more Ham :) I promise you will smile at him every time he pops up on your feed. He's a great break from the monotonous scrolling of everything the same. I mean how many time do we actually smile watching gaming vids? (Yes I watch them too lol) I love Ham
I love the relationship you and ham have together. i miss my Ringneck parrot who sadly passed away many years ago and never got the courage to get another until watching you both.
Our cockatiel HATES getting into his carrier but he LOVES riding in the car ... as long as he gets to sit on my daughters shoulder. He's very good and never tries to fly around the car. I don't think Petey will ever be ok with his carrier but he's not traumatized. He's just a big drama queen, rather like Hamlet 😏
You are beautiful and so is Ham. Thank you for putting up with that 24/7 so we can get a few minutes of joy without any of the responsibilities of caring for him
have to get my two dinosaurs to the vet tomorrow and this prepared me a bit mentally :D last time it took almost the whole day to get them into their travel cage
Ham definitely bounces off you and the way you let him do things in his own time clearly shows his trust in you, your patience is obviously tested to the limit sometimes and it's a credit to you but you obviously know how important it is to him being happy. Great content ❤ to both of you not forgetting Rufus and Archie
I used to say that parrots are like Border Collies but with wings. I changed my mind it's more like BC puppies that understand only one thing "messing around with hoomans is fun!"
I've had to do similar sneaky maneuvers with my cats and my old bird, too. Maybe next time (if haven't already adapted to a solution) you can quickly zip the flap about halfway when Hamlet is doing the one-foot-still-out deal. That way, when he turns around, he won't be able to push the flap or at least not as easily.

Cockatiel dad here. Parrots are basically 33% dog, 33% cat, 90% toddler.
Well, it was fun & games… for Ham 🤷♀️🦜 Like trying to retrieve stolen socks from furry people who think it’s an awesome game!
With any animal or human 😊 But animal/humans any day🤭
It was fun for me. 🤭🥰🥰

“I love him. I love him!” Every pet owner who has a pet who loves to test their patience🤣🤣🤣
“At the end of the day, the best gift we can give to him is the gift of himself “ 😂😂😂😂
😂
“Get a parrot”, they said. “It’ll be so much fun”, they said.
😂 Hamlet ❤
They never met my monster lovebird hen. RIP you little beast, lol.
Maybe he think you not bringing him back home I had a Cat didn't want to go outside" 😅❤❤

He’s so much like a toddler takes him ages to get out the door

@@cannibalisticrequiem I mean it could if you trained the bird to say that and shite on command 🤣
I mean their intelligence can vary but iirc they usually have the intelligence of a human toddler 2-4 years old or something as an adult
NYOOOUUUU
You can tell how Aussie she is
Ok, I know u r frustrated, but, I’m laughing ...OUT LOUD 😂😂😂😂😂❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Imagine all the entertainment the neighbors get from eavesdropping on this hilarious conversations
I love how dramatic he is. 😂
Not sure if the drama is exclusively from Ham. Just saying.
Such a dignified laugh “hah, ha”
yes make your human work for you, Prince Hamlet!
Lmao 🤣 😆🤣 I must admit I just told my dog that it’s good to know that we are not alone in our loving frustrationness… as I again showed him the expensive ramp I recently purchased for him to use to come in the house because steps are too hard… that he just shrugged at 🤦♀️🐶💕 And I might have laughed at the trauma of trying to get Ham in his travel pack, while he played ninja games.

I think ham wants his own phone. Or camera... He is old enough for his own phone and social media now!
And credit card...
😂😂😂❤🐦 💳📸📳 uhh ohh let's not forget a first 🚖 😂😂😂😂 He will be good to go! 😂😂 Love the little feather craziness 😍🐦💞💕😘
These darn birds and their phones!
😂😂😂😂😂😂 ❤❤
😂😂😂😂😂he's so 😂😂😂😂😂 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤him n his mommy
You have the patience of a Saint, Bridget! But you're both hilarious and a joy to watch. Ham might be a handful sometimes but I can you both love each other very much!!
Lovely plumage the Norwegian Blue.
3:31 "You're ok??" ....... - "NO". 🤣🤣🤣
Awww he's such a lil diva. I hope you both recover from the trauma! 🖤
Don't blame him, the last time you brought him out or at least last outing I watched, he was accosted by magpies!! 🤣🤣 Remember that little fiasco Bridget?... Maybe just promise him they're be no magpies this time! Might work? 😂😂... Love Hamlet!

0:51 when that bird escaped. I had a flashback of the old looney tunes cartoon where elmer fud was tricked by bugs bunny lol
Hammy is just a little sass master and a cutie. That’s why he’s lovable
Ham is hilarious when he is making you frustrated, and when you're frustrated you're hilarious 😂😂
Ham!! Go in!! You don't know what you're missing!! Outside is nice!! I just saw Tico full of joy singing opera on the shoulder of his 'dad' on bycicle 😂 That can be you Ham! Well, if Bridgit wants to paddle that is...
You bring me joy and you taketh it away 😂
I think you were more traumatized than Ham. He's fine, he just wants the sympathy vote!
I would LOOOOVE to argue with this cutie! 😂❤ This really sounds like fun 😂😂😂😂
I Liked It When He Kissed The Camera. The Bird Is Cool!
Ham is a complete ham and he knows it.
Hamlets my favorite indian ringneck on Earth.
"reallly? stepup"
Good boy
Hammi ❤
Such love and patience with Ham❤
😂😂😂😂 the struggle is real!! Happens to me always 😅
Ahahahahah this is the cutest thing ever lolol just like a kid, get in the car THE WHAT......WHERE..... WHO!!!???? KISSES!!!!! LOLOL and your accent when you said you didnt get it from me and definitely not steve..... was hilarious! The drama here is awesome!!! Lolol
Hahahaa so much drama, the SO MUCH FUN, spoke to me 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
You OK? "NO!" 03:33 Awww so cute

You two have become my conures favorite people to watch
Love it. My Senegal parrot pulls sneakies too.!!!!
Ohhh the drama that's wrapped in the body of a little blue bird!! Too funny!
Ham you're the cutest little thing!! 🐦 ❤❤❤
Sounds like a regular day with feathered or furred companion. Having had both, I commiserate!
I love your love. It's a complete mood yet so endearing at the same time. You two are such a cute duo
*am not OK 😒 I feel this EVERYTIME I have to get my CAG Freddie in his carrier for a vet visit 🤦🏻♀️
This is what living with a bird is truly like. They are challenging and not for everyone!
Way silly!!!! Bird knows how to drive you crazy madam.
I don't doubt you love him, he seems so loveable. Even when he's being difficult. 🤭🥰♥
How can one not love Ham? He is soooo smart.
Hamlet!!! Love him!! You two are the perfect double act! X
LOL! Ham's just tooo funny. Here we go, same thing, can't get Bella into her travel cage for vet visits either. Takes trickery and she way out smarts us every single time.
Selective Hearing. 🐦🦋💕🌷
Ham 💙🪶 Does
A Fantastic Demonstration. 💙
Absolutely brilliant PMSL..been your neighbour and listening to that you think you gone round the twist 😂 So funny. x
YouTwo crack me up, ham is so cheeky I just love the both I love you thank you for the laughs❤
Great video. Funniest little parrot Australia. Absolute legend.
Oh, my seed, this is so funny. Hamlet is truly "hamming" it up with you, Bridget. I absolutely adore watching your videos with Hamlet. He's wonderful! Thank you for sharing the silly life of little Hamlet, Bridget. Always brings a smile to my face. 😊❤
Waiting for Ham to shout from inside the backpack "Help! I'm a political prisoner!" Lol. This was fun. Hope he is not holding a grudge.
This is me with my Conure when it's time for her to go to bed. She hides on my back where I can't reach her, in the end I have to get the treats out. My ringneck takes herself to bed. 😂
I absolutely love your MGK poster!! My mom and I love you and Hamlet so much!
I'm totally amazed with the degree of patience you display - a whole lotta love,girl
Nice snack and very entertaining video. He is a wonderful little guy and it's very cool how good you are with him!
I'm new but I'd love to see more from the Ham.❤
😂😂😂😂All part of his grand plan, he wanted to go to the pet store all along!!! LOL.

You're never going anywhere "in a hurry" that's for sure. I can relate.
You are funny and awesome. Keep it up! Thank you

@@missparadise879 I do like some random stuff!
Awww - Ham has my sympathy vote❣️ He genuinely does not like being inside of enclosures. FREEDOM❣️❣️💙🩵
Oh my gosh I LOVE the interaction. So much responsibility and love and caring and ninja skills 😂❤
“IT’S SO FUN! THIS IS SO FUN!” Come on Hamlet, be nice to mum 😂
I love him. He's so sassy.
I believe he thinks he is the comic relief but he just takes it too far sometimes hahaha 🤣😂
I love the relationship you and ham have together. i miss my Ringneck parrot who sadly passed away many years ago and never got the courage to get another until watching you both.
😂😂 I just love Hamlet!!!
Hamlet was touching a few of your buttons to make you feel like him. 😊
"...at the end of the day, the best gift to give him is the gift of himself." Epic wisdom! 😂😂😂

0:07 "no you get in the backpack 🦜"
New subscriber. Just too much fun👍
😂 he's so cute!
Poor Bridget, by the end of the video, she looked so defeated. If she didn't love Hamlet so much, she would kill him😂😂😂❤❤❤
I used to say that parrots are like Border Collies but with wings. I changed my mind it's more like BC puppies that understand only one thing "messing around with hoomans is fun!"
"toddlers with wrenches for faces that can fly" is one I've used 😂
My little George, Green Quaker, is like that too. They are like little two year olds. Love them, but can drive you a little kookie. 😮😢😂❤❤🦜😜
The black moustachio under his beak is lovely
Oh Hamlet you’re such a diva 😂
No matter what ya'll always make my day better & make me smile so thanks for sharing it with us ❤😂
This was so funny 😂😂😂 Love you both ❤️❤️💙🐦🥰🤗
They certainly only do what they please... Lol
Awwww! You did great! Your patience is so much better than mine! Teach me, Obi Wan! My patience doth wear thin!
He’s fine. Just contrary. 😂
He’s way smart mom 🤗♥️🙏
Ham is the Boss a you. Such a cute little stinker
I swear, sometimes he's so human.
Bridget ~ You should've baited the backpack with *SHOES* !!
Well, maybe not; he may no longer get crushes on them...
I've had to do similar sneaky maneuvers with my cats and my old bird, too.

He is such a riot, love love love you guys, thank you for the joy that Hamlet brings to so many people around the world❤
