I find all of your videos helpful, but especially those that focus on the smaller birds. I’ve very recently brought home a parrotlet that was not in a good situation. He was living in a very small cage in a cold dark room, eating only seeds and losing his little mind. He had plucked himself almost bald when I decided that I could not leave him there for one more day. I know very little about birds, but I’m dedicated to giving him the best life I can, and your videos have been invaluable to me. His feathers are back, we’ve done target training, I give him fresh veggies daily, and we’re starting to explore outside of the cage now. I cannot thank you enough for helping me help Peewee!
Comet stole the show as usual. I don't know what his salary is, but he needs a raise. Those are two happy birds.
Yes! more treats must be given 🤣
The humour, the editing style, the little cuddle breaks with the birds the whole video style for this one is perfect!!
I also adore how you subtitle the birds thoughts 🥰
I would love to see a video with bird-safe cleaning product and cooking utensils recommendations. Also covering the subject of in-home pest control, scented candles, plug-in home fragrances, etc.
This would be very helpful!!
You guys really give the confidence to never give up; I can't imagine our flock would be thriving as it is today without you guys' guidance. My favorite video is harder to find because during one of your snake discovery room videos Dave goes over 'a few feathers' and importance cleaning up training on a super insightful list on the whiteboard, it really helped my partner who is new to birds. I find a ton of people trying to jump face first into bird owning so maybe making a video about the cons of birds because I see very few on how the cost is when youre doing it CORRECTLY. Owning a bird is cheap, like a betta in a bowl to people, taking genuine care of it is expensive and takes dedicated time.
Fishbowl is the worst place where you can have a fish.
@@camponotusinflatus9920 Exactly why I used the example. I don't use anything under a planted 15 gallon for a bare minimum. It's proven inhumane otherwise
So thankful for your retrieving lost bird video. My citron cockatoo escaped a little over a year ago. Thanks to you guys she was indoor recall trained but I didn’t have the means to do any extensive decent training. 4 days high in the trees, and half the neighborhood keeping an eye on her, she flew back to me like she knew how to do it all along and was just ready to go home.
We (my 9 year old) and I watch your videos all the time. She is preparing for her fist bird and is “studying” using your budgie course.
One of my favorite videos was when you introduced the Omlet cage. We purchased one for my daughters future baby.
If I could suggest a video it would be a crash course in all of the supplies that you should obtain before you bring your new bird home like cage, pellets, scales, seed mix, toys, play stand, travel carriers etc. I had to watch multiple videos and compile a list as I would go which wasn’t a big deal but one video could be helpful.
Thank you for everything you do on this channel and Birdtricks kids.
I'm birdless but love your videos. So many good information, so much fun. You're doin' a great great job 😘💙🐦🦜.....also Capri.
I friend who is a long time bird owner got me watching their videos -- just because they're SO cool. And fun. And brilliant. Within a year a beautiful CAG found his way into my home -- completely random and out of the blue! So.... one lucky birdie may just show up for you... just sayin....
@@mcdart2606 Maybe. Nobody knows how life will change.
Update the cage guilt video. It is a perfect example of meaningful interaction with your bird.
Please make a video compilation of the jingle submissions! Lol... So excited for that!
The parrot training podcast is DOPE! Any project bird journey is extremely helpful, but especially the first few days of every project is brilliant and SO HELPFUL especially if your bird is (or going to be) a rescue.
The number one video that had the most impact on me and my flock, was Bringing home a new bird | what day one with a new bird looks like. Because it was the first video I ever saw and that brought me to your channel. Funny story I actually had no idea you were bird trainers when I clicked on the video. I was in a bad mood because I was stuck in training with my birds, I was kinda watching it with the mind set of oh this person probably has no idea what they are doing this is going to be terrible. Because I was realizing all the mistakes I was making at the time, and that everybody usually makes the same mistakes. and I just felt so defeated. Lol not knowing you knew so much, and were professionals!
COMET below...😂😂😂 Get it?
There was one not to long ago but I couldn't find it to link. It had 2 green cheeks and you were helping them train a good step up. This helped me a ton with my own green cheek. I think remembering that step up is a trick helps your relationship more then you realize! Thanks guys your the best!!❤️
I absolutely agree with your picks. The only ones I would add are the entire series on the CAG Bean. Mostly because they helped me soooooooo much when I inherited a very timid, but secretly willing, CAG.
The truth is, I'm pretty sure I watched every single video you had on RUclips BEFORE I even had a bird, so when my sweet CAG came into my life I felt (kinda) prepared. I had him targeting the within hours of his arrival, had a sleeper cage, in a private and completely dark room, all ready to go, and even had him converted to the SFS within days. The pellets took a little longer, but it didn't matter, I felt like I had both of your voices in my ear encouraging me to hang in there.
Thank you is inadequate, but there is it. Thank you for EVERYTHING you do. My appreciation, respect and straight up affection for you two - and your entire team - knows no bounds. You changed these two lives and turned me into an evangelical voice for all things BirdTricks and Jamieleigh & Dave Womack (insert angel choir singing here).
Awe! Thank you so much! 🥰 We are honored to be a part of your journey with your bird!
@@BirdTricks funny (blessed/magical) thing is - there would never have been a bird in my life were it not for YOU guys!! 🥹
I loved the video on why a budgie is a great pet parrot. Always great content. An the ones the team picked are brilliant.
Great videos! i just joined your patreon because i can’t get enough of y’all! can’t wait until i’m set up for success for my future companion ❤
I don’t have a specific video that helped more than others. They all help so much! The podcast series was very helpful and I do go back and find myself pulling that up a lot.
Also I love that comet and tusa featured in this video ❤ comet was being super cuddly with Jamie, it was adorable to see! 🥰
If I made a jingle, it would probably be a bunch of bloopers. LOL
Can we have a handling video at some point tailored for small birds? You’ve mentioned a couple of times that you don’t hold their feet, but how big does a bird have to be in order for you to feel comfortable holding their feet? Questions like that.
There were some good ones when you first got blueberry, especially showing how are you set up your home, such that she could move around even when she was clipped. Struggling to think of others because I forget which ones were from which year half the time.
Well when I started in June... I first watched some videos that youtube suggested and then continued to watch all the parrot training consultations. and then the rest.
I've been watching a lot of bird tricks this year....
Happy late new year from the United Kingdom
I love the podcast episodes!! I rewatch them pretty often
Happy new year!
I’ve learned SO much watching your videos and I love all your birds😊
Most importantly I’ve learned it’s such a massive commitment to own one that I will always be an admirer but not an owner hahaha.
Yeah - that’s what I thought. And then - out of the blue - I inherited a magnificent bird. Just sayin 😏
Happy late new years from Australia! Im hoping to get my blue and gold macaw this year!!
I have shared my success story before but it was the indoor flight training and watching the video and reading the information about how to recover your bird that made it possible. My bird was flying to me just as I was picking up a package and flew right out the door. I watched her fly 2 streets over and land in a tree. She kept getting startled and flew up higher in each tree and ended up in a huge pine tree and refused to come down. She spent the night in a tree and I went before first light to the tree. At sunrise she tried to come down but ended up in a different tree because she had difficulty coming down that steep of incline. We worked on decline but there's nowhere in my house that's as tall as that tree 😂 Then, A squirrel chased her out of the tree when she was still tired and she ended up in a backyard where I was able to get her. 18 hours of terrified 😰 gripping fear but without the recall training it wouldn't have happened. Thanks again!
Good for you on getting your bird back!
@@ItsForTheDogs Thank you... It was an emotionally exhausting experience and I hope to never do it again but birdtricks information (and my actually following the advice) saved the day. It's devastating to lose your bird and they don't all get back home. It also helped that she's a large RED bird so trees were a contrast. Might be more difficult with a green bird!
It's so much fun to watch you guys do these types of videos. I am always learning so much and it always comes with lots of entertainment from you, and the birds. 🤗 Comet and Tusa are just so adorable. 🥰

I actually have a bird recovery story from many years ago. When I was in my teens I had a small blue budgie, just like Berry. :)
He was about 8 years old when his outside adventure took place. All the years we had had him never anything happened. But that summer our sweet little budgie took a chance and flew out the front door. The door was only about 1 foot open, but that was enough for him to get out. He was a good flyer.
He took off and gone he was, off into the bushes of our neighbor's garden. We called out for him and he called back. We went around the house to see if we could get a little closer from the other side. We kept calling out for him. And now this is where it gets really interesting. His absolute favorite toy was a small round silver bowl, the kind that is used to keep sugar in. It was about two inches in diameter, and it came with a little lid. My budgie was obsessed with this little box. The clanking sound that it made when the lid hit the box was a sound that our budgie couldn't resist. When he heard this sound he knew it's playtime. And it was this little box that saved our budgie when he got out. Plus we had him outside in his cage often so he knew what our garden looks like. These two things were what brought him home I believe.
When we called out for him using the sound of the box to guide him home he found his way back in less than 10 minutes. He came flying and landed under one of the garden chairs on the terrace only a few feet away from the back door of our house. I had the little silver box in my hand and my budgie stepped up for me at once. He let me carry him inside without complains or trying to escape. He seemed happy to be back home but it was obvious that he just had had the adventure of a lifetime.
An interesting side note: he died about one year later; we had to have him put him to sleep. He had a tumor that caused his abdomen to swell and he kept trying to remove it from the outside; he kept causing himself harm. I was unable to be in the room when when the vet put him to eternal rest. My mom was with him when he received his angel wings. It's been more then 20 years, but there are still times when I miss him so much. 💛
All the years we had had him nothing happened, he never escaped. But one year before he died he went on one last big adventure as if he knew and wanted to experience what it was like to fly outside under the sun before he moved on from this world. 💙🦜
All are excellent choices. One that I learned a lot from was the survey of customers cages. But honestly, you can learn something new/valuable in every video. Thanks for all your hard work.
I don't know how your team picked out favorite videos! I love them all so much! Every video is filled with enlightening information, personal experiences, and so much personality. You guys are the reason I've had so much success with my parrots and my life wouldn't be the same without the vital information you produce for the bird world. You actually inspired me to create my own RUclips channel as well sharing my experiences and what it's like living with such an array of quriky animals! All my love and thanks!
For me the video's about Touche were very helpfull! Our first bird is an Indian ringneck and we really struggled with him, I almost gave up thinking I could'nt make him happy. Seeing your video's with Touche ( and almost the same struggles, I'm sorry Jamie🙈) was helpfull to understand our Indian ringneck behaviour and struggles.
Great video!
I would love to see a video just seeing how often you guys do certain things like cleanings, trainings, and like if you have a routine for certain trainings (like flight versus tricks), etc, and if you have recommendations for others.
YES!
Awesome top 5 video
Master Class. Prioritizing one issue to work through.
I am definitely starting to dial in more on these types of videos and change the way I edit them in the future to relay information better. I am leaning more towards the VoiceOver realm so I am looking forward to seeing how people like that style once those edits start coming out here on the channel.
The target training video was the most helpful out of all of them. I just brought home a 4 month old African grey. She already has bad habits learned from the breeder. She fights to get to the shoulder and then nips and won't come down. She is also obsessed with my cell phone. Any suggestions? I'm hoping that positive reinforcement and target training can start to help forget these behaviors.
The series on Bean, the CAG, was INCREDIBLY helpful for me when I inherited a very timid CAG
Ooh I couldn’t name just five, parrot body language 101 , 5 common mistakes the truth about bird owning, African grey dies at 3 years , my advice to new parrot owners, bird toys bewares, common house hold dangers, 10 useless facts about cockatoos, all of the parrot training podcast they’re all great I haven’t watched a video where it felt like I learnt nothing
we need more video's of Cressi
Ok there may not be much happening in them but we still love Cressi
More day of your life videos pleeeease!
Did you see the recent ones on here and BT Kids? Just for you!!
@@BirdTricks Yes! Love the kiddo videos too!
Although, I absolutely love the macaws and big birds, definitely more smaller bird Content would be much appreciated. They are just the more common first birds that people get, and I personally am getting another cockatiel, my first bird in a few years, and I would love bonding tips and tricks, and just how to relate to small birds. Also, a more in-depth look at your flock! Like what parrots you have, and different quirks about them. As always, thank you so much for all of your videos! They are not only super informative, but my favorite part of the day is looking to see if you posted something new :) Also congrats on capris channel I wish I could comment on there because her videos are so adorable but I especially love the circus one! So much fun ❤
We have a whole project bird series coming out on a cockatiel after the Rusty series! I hope you like it and thanks for your kind words!
Today is 1 year since my blue front Freddy passed. I stayed up and comforted him last New Years Eve until I couldn't stay awake anymore.
Happy New year 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Dave caught comet with 'science'😆
Nice
I would really like you two to sit down with videos of parrots and point out what you see and how you interpret their communication.
We actually have a series called BirdTricks Tuesdays: Body Language Edition where we do this over on Patreon for the Bondi tier and above! It has been a lot of fun taking video submissions from other people to use for these episodes!
I really liked your quacker video! Love your channel it’s the best one for education on feeding and training❤
Edit: we have a sulpher cockatoo and a galah and the is definitely a Bondi we left him out one day and now we’re minus the keys on a laptop lol!
One question I have is when I’m clicker training my galah attacks the stick if it’s close but when I hold it out so he can only tap it he gets frustrated and starts to bite is there anyway to get him to touch nicely?
Watch BirdTricks video called ‘where to start with a bird that hates you’ hope it helps
@@joebean3615 ok I’ll have a look! I don’t think he hates me tho cause he comes up and asks for a head rub I get the feeling it’s dominance thing cause he’s a 2yo male but I’m not sure I’ll definitely have look though thanks
All of them Lol 🤣
😂 Yep 👍🏻
Make a potty training video. I've got mine going on cue and I treat him every time I catch him going on the perch or in the cage but he still goes in the house
I’m actually coming from your daughter’s blogs with Bluee - have you guys tested Bluee for PBFD? Because they’re looking an awful lot like a PBFD parakeet I used to have, their condition is concerning me
His bloodwork all came back clear and good, his vet exam episode will be coming out in the future on the channel. He came from a really terrible situation and did a lot of self inflicted feather damage to look the way he did.
Do y'all still do the podcasts?
We have not come out with a new one in a while but it's on the list to get back up and running this year! We especially want to re-tackle some older episode subjects with new perspective and updated info.
I was wondering, what happened with Sunny from the hoarding situation?
We have a video coming out on that! We didn't realize we had only ever told patrons.
6 days ago my Senegal
Got. Out the Avery,3 days
Ago someone said she was chase by magpies. I getting worried
You guys should go on fiver or somewhere and get a few jingles there and then have us vote on them!
I've never heard of Fiver but I will look it up for sure!
I have a Pet Raven named Fate, she is less than a year old, and I am trying to train her to speak. She can be quite vocal, especially in the morning, and is still trying to learn all the wonderful sounds she can make. I have about 13 years of experience with Ravens, or rather, 2 Ravens. Huginn, whom I had for about 13 years passed away last year, broke my heart, and the breeder I got him from had 3 pairs that all gave dud eggs thanks to a Rooster messing with them when they were courting. Another breeder who I thought was a potential, I came to find out actually bought their babies from the other and marked them up in price a couple of grand, so they were out permanently. Fate came as a surprise, from a private breeder whom heard my story about Huginn and me being heartbroken, and being the last of the few his pair had this year, he gave me an incredible deal. So I am absolutely in love with this bird, and want to train her as best as possible. Though Corvids and Parrots are very different, I am aware their are overlaps in their behavioral patterns. With Huginn, he was shy about making certain noises, unless he thought I was not home, or alspeep. I woke up one morning to hearing myself talking in my sleep, but it wasn't me, it was Huginn on the perch next to my bed. My Wife has heard him imitate her saying, "Hear kitty kitty", trying to lure the cat over. Huginn loved grabbing Cats tails!
So with Fate, she recently has bonded heavily with me, and she was so sweet to my Wife for a while, and then she just suddenly started not letting her pet her, and biting. We've been working on it with her, and like Huginn, her favorite treats are Blueberries, and Cheez-Its, so we've been using those while working with her, and we've seen slow, but positive results. She is getting far less defensive and bitey when my Wife tries to pet her. It has been really hard on my Wife, as Huginn wouldn't let hardly anyone touch him, and Fate, when she was younger, let everyone, and she was so sweet about it, and my Wife was so happy that this Raven didn't bite her... That changed, and we are slowly working on it. I do want to learn how I can best train her, and I tried with Huginn, but Ravens are Ravens, and talking to any Raven owner, they'll tell you that they are difficult in a way Parrots aren't. I ordered some recordable voice buttons, so I can't also train her with those. I was recommended your channel by another channel I forgot the name of. So far I am liking what I am seeing, and I subscribed.
Wow!!! How fricking cool!! You must not be in America, it’s against the law to have them here. Cuz I would have one in a hot second!
Seems like the whole permission based training approach would work really well with corvids specifically because of their very high intellect. I didn’t used to be a fan of clickers, but oh boy do I get it now! It makes EVERYONE’s lives sooo much easier because you have a common communication tool. Target training has been key for us too. It forms a very solid foundation on which you can teach so many things.
@@mcdart2606 I do live in the US, and neither Fate, nor Huginn were Corvis Corax, the Common Raven. Mixes of breeds are legal. White Necked/Brown Necked for instance can bring about babies that show the qualities of one, the other, both, or even looking completely black, like Huginn, and like Fate. Although with both of them, if you look at their feathers on the neck towards the base, they are white, or much less dark, and in the right light you can see some of the brown on the back of their necks.
Right now Fate is asleep about 2 feet from me just chilling on my desk. They are incredible, but also very difficult. She has taken to clicker training very well. Since she not even 1 yet, she has decided to intensely bond to me, which has unfortunately made my Wife less welcome around her. However with Clicker training we've been able to fix that. She is no longer acting out towards my Wife. Trick was my Wife being able to be close and pet her, using the clicker, and then giving her a treat, which Cheez-Its become the key. Huginn loved them as well. Not something to ordinarily feed them, but as a treat they work, as do Blueberries.
When Fate was younger she was so sweet to everyone, and to my Wife, which Huginn wasn't. So when I got her, my Wife was so happy that this Raven showed affection, and allowed affection. When that changed, and Fate showed bonding to me, it then threw my Wife to the side, and Fate no longer enjoyed or even tolerated her. Gladly the Clicker training has turned that around to a positive degree, but we are still working on it.
Reading bird body language.
How important the diet is to your bird. Seasonal feeding system.
Teaching them how to play with toys.
Getting enough sleep.
Target training.
I just threw in my personal guesses as to what the top 5 topics would be.
I love the small bird training videos. Thanks for all you do. Gina Hetlage 🐦🦜
Hope you can get Tico to accompany your new ditty🦜🦜🦜
