Here’s what happened on day one with Bean the terrified Congo African grey! Bean is an 8 year old male African grey parrot.
He has been legally surrendered to Ronie's For the Love of Birds Parrot Rescue. You can apply to adopt Bean off their website once I'm done working with him here: roniesloveofbirds.com/adoption
Don't forget to support your local bird rescues! Your time is the best donation to these birds, as well as making them fresh, healthy food to eat or sending them toys to chew on. It doesn't always have to be a financial donation - you can even consider being a foster parront!
Thank you to my patrons over at Patreon for making it possible for me to take on Bean and other project birds. Follow the rest of Bean’s story over on Patreon at Patreon.com/BirdTricks as exclusive content to my Bondi tier and above.

you know a bird is real stressed When you can hear their breathing on the other side of RUclips
Yeah
Shes. A bird trainer, probally professional. She's dealt with birds for sometime. Shes knows exactly whats shes doing.
So sad! 😢😢
@@annak5424 doesnt seem like it
@@zukio6088 he's in a new environment without anyone familiar of course he's scared.
Human: Wanna step down on the counter?
Bean: Nope! **holds on for life!**
Human: **sheds wooly skin**
Bean: ö_ö? **dumbfounded**
Lmao so Mr Bean lol 😂
Her thumb is holding him down! 1.23 and on till she lets him loose
@@patriceodell4079 I doubt that she was putting any force into it to keep him from flying. Maybe it helps with just a flutter or two, but if he were to full on try to get outta Dodge and she tried to hold him down with her thumb - he would freak & struggle, could injure himself or her; and the experience would add to his long list of fears.
I'm positive she was not "holding him down" with her thumb - ie not forcefully.
Sorcery!
Maybe the counter is just kind of cold on his feet.
BE EXTRA-SPECIAL GOOD TO DOMESTICATED BIRDS!! THEY ARE SO VERY SENSITIVE & BOND TIGHTLY WITH THEIR CAREGIVERS - WE ARE THEIR FAMILY!! THEY DESERVE OUR BEST!!
Her: you don’t have all your flight feathers
Bean: that won’t stop me and you know it
When you take your sleeve off Bean's all "What black magic is this?!"
lol
Sorcery! Sorcery, I say!
Lol yes!😂
🤣
Why would you say "black magic"? I'm missing something
"he's fine, he's just scared of everything" lol
Relatable
Me irl
@@lillyrose3545 ikr
Same like my cockatiel..😄
@@rumanahamiirah8487 same I have 2. one is super nice and loves cuddles but the other one hates cuddles and is scared of EVERYTHING. He has had several previous owners and was not hand raised.
the panicked breathing at 0:45 was heartbreaking. these are such sensitive and emotional creatures and it hurts thinking of how many people probably get parrots not realizing that
I would say less panicked more, "I don't fly often, so flying across the room was a lot for me." Kinda like how you'd pant after sprinting. There is def some stress there, but I would wager a good portion was also the flight itself. She did mention he's missing a lot of his flight feathers, so he likely is unused to flying for long periods of time.
i got teary-eyed when you offered him some birdy bread and he was like "no i want more scritchies" like???? baby??? absolute baby??? hes got his work cut out for him but the fact that youre able to pet him already shows he does trust you, just not his environment
That really made me happy to see that 🤗
using pets as reassurance will be good for him, its how i managed to help a stray cat with ptsd [i know not the same breed but most animals respond well to reassurance/love]
The cat just showed up one day and while she wanted attention shed get spooked and hiss and run but then you'd see her "wake up" from it and look so sad, took weeks of me just letting her "wake up" and come back to be cuddled again for her to realise that I wasnt going to hurt her like i suspect others had.
Sadly I moved and had to keep her at my family home so she rarely sees me now and it breaks my heart because while im still the only one who can pick her up and be hands on, she clearly doesnt want to relax 100% because she knows im not staying :( but i moved in with my partner and he already has cats and She really doesnt get on well with others.
I have however started training my partners cat XD which he didnt believe me till he saw it for himself... She wont do it for him but i can have her sit and wait for me to put her food out rather than trying to headbutt her face into the bowl out of impatience. But for me she will sit and wait till i tell her its okay. Also managed to stop her jumping on the window ledge, after resistance from my partner despite her forever falling asleep and off said ledge one time actually falling out the window, which in on the second floor... shes smart but also very dumb XD
@Neon squad!? i just type fast XD and when i get on a story i have to finish it
:0. You saw this vid too? Cool :D.
What exactly is birdie bread and what is it made out of
He’s so sweet. Just needs to become familiar. It’s wise to be cautious.
Not to that degree.
That’s true
I love him
I think he had good previous owners. No offense.
@@Ashley-el4wf I think so too. This girl seems like she thinks she’ll do a better job just by how she reacted to the dry food. That food is good it’s not the worst you can give them
My cockatiel gave him a kiss and said pretty bird when he asked for a scratch
Aww...that deserves some scratches in return.
Aww that’s sooooo cute 😍 u should give him/her a scratch ps I’m on the wrong account I’m Isabel Nesvorny
If you want to see my tiel get scratched his Instagram is @biscuitthetiel ❤
I know mane 😭. Give me a hug. No homo 😭.
That’s adorable
I almost cried when he put his little head down so you could pet him. 😍😍😍
When he dipped his head for scritches, my heart broke. Sweet guy, I'm so happy he's in a safe & loving place where he can learn confidence!
It’s the first day and he’s already eating vegetables and accepting head scratches! You truly have a gift.
The owner did say he loved his veggies so it’s not that much of a shock
Yes she does!👍
This poor bird has absolutely no idea what is happening to him. He is living in an awful nightmare with no hope of leading a normal avian life
@@AbaddonHades but when he initially arrived he refused to eat ANYTHING. So any eating was a big step
Took me a year to be blessed with petting my grey 🥰
Ive never been a "grey" person but theres something about Bean that makes me feel so much love for him. Cant wait to watch his journey with you unfold 💓
I agree completely. He's so sweet, I already love the little fella.
He’s really cute, and I feel for his situation, but you can tell he’s very sweet and loving underneath.
@@johnlawrence2757 he cant return to Africa. He never came from there in the first place. He is captive bred. He wouldnt survive in the wild. Hes in the best place that he can be. If you don't like seeing birds in captivity don't search for them on you tube. Thanks
idiot holding his foot then saying he cannot fly. creep bird abuser
idiot holding his foot then saying he cannot fly. creep bird abuser
I love Mr. Bean 💚💚 He reminds me of the Grey my mom had most of my entire childhood, Fred. I miss ya Fred!
I had such a female for 21 years and died of cancer. When you patted her or his head it brought me back and reminded me 😢😢
birds a paid actor
lol!
He was so confused when the sweater came off.... "wtf. How the hell did I get here?..."
Imagine the only person you ever loved and trusted gave you to someone you've never seen and never gave you any chance to decide if you wanted to go
I don't know how somebody could give a bird like this up
1:56 bean in like " what in the world just happened? I was on your arm and somehow ended up on the counter..... " lol
He’s like “you think your so smart? You know I’m not getting off of this sweater right?”
6:15 eye pinning in fast forward. He's enjoying snack time!
@@margaretlavender4418 It means the bird has intense interest in what he's looking at or in what he is experiencing. Sometimes they eye pin at a friend or mate.
@@margaretlavender4418 literally, it means their pupils narrow to a pinpoint. usually an expression of interest, pleasure, or curiosity... but it can also mean a strong DISpleasure with something. if you're still getting to know a bird, it might be a sign they're about to attack.
@@tzxazrael Agreed. When my Smokey's eyes pin it almost always means I need to get my fingers out of the general vicinity quickly.
God bless you, your understanding and patience. Beautiful soul both of you.
I wonder if after he’s settled or doing something new, petting his head is a MAJOR REWARD. Breaks my heart to see any creature that Terrified. I wonder why?
This day in age a sneeze 🤧 can make a human fly away 🤣
His panting breaks my heart
I know mane 😭. Give me a hug. No homo 😭.
idiot holding his foot then saying he cannot fly. creep bird abuser
@@redrumax you are mean but I do understand, I twisted my bird leg because something scared her and flied.
@@redrumax I don't think you can hold on to this guy's foot with 1 thumb
@@redrumax you know how bird training works?
All life forms matter, ALL...
Beautiful
Blessed be...
I’ve never heard a bird hyperventilating like he was after his first fleeing flight. Thank you for taking on this little guy! PS - I’ve also never seen bedazzled boots! Lol!
I got a budgie 26 days ago. Her name is Harper and she’s so amazing! She’s starting to eat out of my hand and she steps on perches for me!
Awesome!
Same but I got mine 2 months ago and I cannot let them free fly since it's kinda scary
I got my son two budgies at the same time as you. We are also at the stage where they eat out of my hand, they will even step up onto my finger and eat millet. But no petting yet! Can’t wait til they like scratches!
I don’t have a bird, never had, and not planning on getting one, but this channel has quickly become my favourite. Thank you❤️
Vilda L Lol!!! I’m the same way! I’ve had a budgie when I was a kid... but not planning on ever having a bird as a pet. BUT!!! I love this channel!
Me too. There is something so affirming and so charming about this channel.
Me too! I just love this family and what they do!
Vilda, I've never had a bird either and am fascinated!! I can better read the body language of the wild birds that feed on our patio.
I came here because I realized I know nothing about birds, and wanted to learn more. It’s heartwarming and inspirational to see good people do good things for other beings, both the feathered and the non-feathered kind 😉
This is a good video to show people who think leaving a bird for 2 weeks to "adjust," is the best course of action.
Thank you your saintlike patience ❤
At the end when you were talking to the camera, Bean was snoozing! His eyes were closed and he was one footing it!
I so miss my Grey!!!! She was my girl of 20 years!
pomonabill220 greys live more than that they live for 60-80
@@catcream6525 she may have gotten it later on in the greys life, and things happen. Birds can have accidents or medical complications.
I’m so sorry that you lost her 😢
20 years. Your loss must be immense.
I lost my grey after 20 years too. I think he had a heart attack in front of me. It was awful & I still miss him😢😢😢
Half way into part 2 and I am in love with this bird. She seems like such a gentle soul. I enjoy seeing her thaw and crawl out of her shell. I am happy and grateful that she's in your hands guys, she hit the jackpot.
Bean is male. 🌞
He had good previous owners. It isn't magic
Not surprised he's terrified with all that noise in the background.
from someone with stage 4 breast cancer, having someone who would/will care for and find a loving home for my babies when the need arises; is the most important task on the list. a most sincere thank you.
I have an african grey too. Her name is Angel. She's so adorable and likes to cuddle all the time. She's a bit of a scardy bird too. But she is so lovable. I also have to hold her legs everytime I took her out though. She spooks easily.
Have you considered a harness?
S-so it’s okay to hold their legs? I did that with my cockatiel because he is a scaredy bird but I thought I was hurting him so I stopped 🥺
You need to desensitize your bird. Slowly and kindly but it’ll make a whole world of difference and make your bird more confident.
These videos make me wish I could convince my in-laws to send their sulphur crested cockatoo, Angie, to a rescue. They rescued her from neighbors who abused her years ago, but she needs to be in a home with people who will give her all the attention she needs. She’s constantly stressed, plucking her feathers, she hates the Dad, poor girl needs a better home. The Mom knows she’s not happy, but is terrified whoever she gives Angie to will abuse her. She loves Angie and cannot imagine giving her up. I think she needs to see more videos like this, show her what happy birds looks like in proper birdie homes. I’ll show her your channel and hopefully it’ll convince her ❤️.
Oof, that's not a conversation that I'd want to have to tackle - convincing your in-laws that they can't take proper care of their pet, and should give it up - good luck with that, lol. :-)
You'd probably have more success using this channel to educate your in-laws as to what changes they could make to the bird's environment that would improve its quality of life.
No matter justified it is, or how gently you try and break it to your MIL that she can't provide the home the bird needs, she's gonna take it badly. Probably as a negative reflection on her, maybe even an insult. That's not gonna make her receptive to your advice. People get incredibly defensive about their relationships with their pets. Even when there's a glaringly obvious fault on the part of the owner (which is the true cause of 99% of 'problem pets') getting the owner to recognise that the problem lies with THEIR behaviour, and not the pet's, is the key battle which most of these animal whisperer types have to win to solve the problem.
If your MIL loves the bird as much as you say, surely she'd be willing to make some improvements to the bird's life, which stop short of giving it up? That MIGHT be the ideal solution for the bird (even with the added stress of relocation), but it's hardly ideal for your MIL, which makes it less likely to be achievable.
Prayers for success for you with this difficult task. 🙏💜🙏
Let us know how it goes, education goes a long way. Good luck!
Well if shes letting her be lonely and depressed and not giving her attention then it doesnt sound like she loves her
I enjoyed watching him eat his veggies and fresh food.
He's never had it so good. He just doesnt know it yet.
Bean is like this food testing i like.
As a person who adores African greys these videos are amazing 🥺
Me too i always wanted to get one for my daughter an i! Thats been a long time since she was 7yo! She is 29.i got a cage and play trees still have it . Got a lady to hatch a egg but she gave my baby away to another. Wasnt meant to be. I love cocatoos also the orane or yellow tuffted one. But this channel is my new fav.
The way you were offering the bird bread and he puts his head down for you to stroke was sooooo cute! 💞
At least the bird knows you are a safe place.
When I saw you give scratches to Mr Bean I almost cried because he looks exactly like my grandmas parrot Koko which passed away almost two years ago..
Bean digging the head scratches...cue my tears! 😭
Diet makes a HUGE difference in all animals for their emotional well being
This is really helpful! My bird is afraid of everything to the point where he screams and runs away from toys. But with this process he has improved to not being afraid of his chop and has learned that he likes carrots!
Yay!!
Yay carrots!! Carrots are so great for birds because they're a good source of vitamin A so getting a bird to like carrots is such a 10/10 success! I /wish/ I could get my budgies to like carrots, but they like a lot of other good veggies atleast 😜
I watched like 20 seconds of this video and I'm not a fan. Don't over stimulate the bird-- remove toys they're afraid of and introduce them back slowly. If you want them to get down, don't hold their feet...
youtub13 try watching 20 minutes of the video and the one that comes before. Then maybe you’ll see how awesome a bird trainer she is.
Felicity it’s interesting. I don’t know if you follow the channel but they are incredibly good trainers. Jamie is the first to hold her hands up if she made mistakes. She rehabilitates problem birds and has shown over and again the success tmw he has with working with them. This video for instance, shows an incredibly scared parrot. If you watched all the way through you would know the. It’s has exhibited fear for the 8 years previous. Jamie’s sole intention is to rehabilitate the bird so it can go to a good home. If she waited until the bird came out on its own, regardless of time, she is eventually giving the bird the message that fear is ok. She has to help it overcome the fear and after allowing a long time for it to come out alone, she helps it. As soon as the bird is out the cage, it willingly climbs into her arm and sees her as a safe place. So much so that she has to work with it to get it off her arm. She’s a very good trainer.
Wow looks like Bean trusted you more in 11 minutes than he has trusted anyone else ever. Loves the head scratch!
Remember, birds tend to go through a "honeymoon" period when they are with new people/environments. So some of his acceptance may change within the week!
Why do you think that is? Do they realize that they are being imprisoned and would rather be doing things out in the wild? Do they usually resign themselves to their fate later on?
@@kreeves344 No, literally not at all. Most parrot birds (Conures, Ringnecks, African Greys, and Macaws) will come back to their people if they're outside.
@@unholyheretik do you think that's because they see their owners as a source of safety and food since the ability to protect and provide for themselves has been taken away from them when they are young, or do they really want human companionship? Interesting.
@@kreeves344 a captive born bird is different from a wild born bird. It's like a dog that follows you at the hip. They see you as family.
@@coal9205 that is both interesting and comforting to know. Thanks. Is it like a baby chicken or duck that imprints on a human after being hatched?
Bean is a beautiful Congo african grey. And is becoming not so afraid of everything.
Don't even have a bird but I love your content! I'm thinking of getting a bird eventually, but I want to learn more first about them!

Not the same (๑• . •๑)
Same fam
Books. Lots and lots of books.
Glad to see progress. Love that Bean puts his head down for scratching, our lovebird would do that constantly. It's so endearing!
This is great and you're great. Thank you for being so kind to these lovely animals.
Very nice job being patient with him. He wasn't socialized at all. 💞
Ok so Dave LOL. Saved by thumbnails! Bean looks like such a happy chappy! Bit of a rough start but he looked quite relaxed at the end. Gorgeous baby ! 😍
And it was all just 1 day which is amazing!
"He's fine, he's just terrified of everything."
Aw, he broke my heart. He deserves a life without fear. Thank you for taking him on.
I think he’s just scared because everything is new, not because he was abused
AWWWWW BEAN YOUR SO AMAZING ADORABLE AND BEAUTIFUL CUTE 😊 LOVE ALL AMINALS AND BIRD'S GOD BLESS YOU ALL AMEN ✝️ 🙏 ❤️ 😊 💖 ♥️ ✝️ 🙏 ❤️ 😊 💖 ♥️ ✝️ 🙏 ❤️ 😊 💖 ♥️
Bean was adorable when he put his head down for scritches when you offered birdy bread😍
I loved seeing him eat and be so happy. Also his eyes pinning was so amazing to see! He is such a cute and sweet bird! Has he ever seen another bird before? I would love to see what he does when he meets cressie.
His owner said its been a really long time since he has been around other birds. So far he doesn't react to the noises he hears of mine (they're outside) but time will tell.
He is trying to adopt his new environment, gradually he will easy to everyone
You can tell this Grey has a beautiful disposition and been loved and has been offered many veggies and good food, aside from the bad seed, and it shows.
His name suits his personality, love ya bean, and love ya birdticks
u r so good at training birds ive been watching you for ages now and I'm amazed
Never get mad at him... he's just a little bird....love....
He doesn't seem to want to take food from the hand. And he loves that sweater.
Bean, is so cute! I love how he puffed up when he got on the stand. It almost looked like he was proud of himself. ☺️
It makes me sad that there are people in the world disliking this! You are so patient with this beautiful bird!!
Ya that makes me sad to how could they dislike this this is the cutest thing ever
HE IS SO BEAUTIFUL. Gods masterpieces.
Wow, I do not have birds but the way you worked with him is amazing and the fact you refused to be a fear crutch. I never thought of it that way but that's 10000% it! I hope Bean is doing okay.
What a lucky birdie to have you now in his life. He seems so sweet and hopefully he will eventually become a calm and happy bird, which I’m sure he will be with you as his “teacher”. You are an amazing “bird whisperer “ 🥰.
@BirdTricks it's so sweet how he just wants to stay with you! He must sense that he can trust you and that's adorable. Also, the idea of placing your sweater down on the counter so he could stand on it and still get the feeling that he's close to you, but so you're able to actually put him down for a minute was brilliant!
Poor sweet baby . He is scared. I hope he trusts and loves you guys.and has a great life. Just take everything slow. It's a lot for him to adjust to. Bless his little heart....
omg her gorgeous eyes and so compassionate wow such a hottie
I'm already in love with Bean.💖 There is just a sweet soul in there. My dream bird is a Grey... and I hope to adopt... so watching you work through these issues is great.
“Can I have my sweater back” bean, “uhhh nope” he’ll be amazing and will look great with the babies
He is so pretty. So glad your patient with him
Patience is virtue
7:08 look at that messy beak! 🥰 Bean is so precious❤️
Girl : Trys to take sweater back. Bean: Holds on for his / her life
Deserves more likes.
I just received two Greys to addoption and I thank you for sharing these videos... they are tricky to work with!!!
I love his little breathing!
She’s smart. I wouldn’t have thought to take my sweater off like that 😂
As a bird owner, I love watching the progress with the birds ( I've also bought many of the toys on your website. My birds love them)
Thanks so much!
beautiful gray parrot .beautiful your house .and your love for parrot greatest.
When he shakes his head mean he likes it also shakes his tail He's happy
My heart! He's so sweet
He takes “What About Bob” baby steps!
Does Bean talk @ all? It's so cool to hear them ask things like "ya 'comic' in?", or when you get the broom and get the response "messy messy clean it up".
He's a cuddle bun needs love but you can see him bond and trust with you xxx
This was a great video- it made me realise that not all parrots are brave and well trained like we see them in “perfect” videos and that some are just different and unique in their own ways! (like my easily spooked cockatiel who I still love regardless ❤️) 👍
Bean trusted you so quickly!!! I feel so sorry for him being so scared, but look how he accepted some new challenges today!!! You certainly have a gift!!!
My god an African grey that lets you scratch his head? What a sweetie
I have a African grey to, she is just like bean, he just has to get used to new things
Ligma don’t ever give up. Greys are notoriously scaredy-cats. You have to desensitize the bird. If you need help I’m sure there’s videos here on RUclips about desensitizing your grey.
Y’all are just magic with birds! The bird whisperers! 💕💕💕
Poor lil thing. Never know what these animals go thru. I'm so happy hes with you. Yiu seem so patient and gentle. Hang n there are 🙏🙏🙏❤
I think you are AMAZING!! Thank you for your kind and generous soul.
Being on camera is spooking him. He can even tell where the sight line is. Smart cookie.
I have one just like yours. Atlas is scared of everything. For example, if we get him a new stand, I have to take my sweater and allow him to be on it. I put him on the stand with the sweater and in a few days, he is off the sweater and biting the wood and playing. Whatever to make him comfortable, that's how they work when they are scared. Great job!
J Chacon you should definitely try desensitizing your bird. I’m sure there’s video on RUclips on how to do so. It’ll help your bird be more confident in itself. And it’s just generally a good idea.
