Bringing Home a New Bird | What Day One With a New Bird Looks Like!!!
My friend Patty adopted Morgan, a 7 yr old camelot macaw with a foot defect. Her toe had to be amputated since Patty adopted her because of how "jelly" it was - bending this way and that. You can read Morgan's full story here; www.birdtricksstore.com/blogs...
It's functional in helping her climb, she can hold SOME things in it, and she can move the toes.
Morgan has never been trained before so I will sharing my world of training with her. My goal: to free flight train her for outdoors so she can fly with MY Camelot macaws!
Note: Morgan had full blood work done and went through a 30-day in home quarantine before meeting my birds. Morgan's playlist can be found here; • Bringing Home a New Bi... .

*When it comes to training I’ve yet to c somebody better then her. She forms a real connection instead of commands. It’s like her and the bird have a real understanding together.*
NickOnPC wow thank you 🙏🏻
Yeah I agree. My bird trooper doesn’t know a lot of tricks except for kisses but we have this strong cosmic bond and we will never be separated. Super understands me with our own language just like she said and trooper understand me like a human and better than a human.ya
When it comes to birds and training birds learn once you bond with them i have a indian ringneck a pair of them they do hang upsided a rope i bought em and they have a bond with me that is perfect and i understand them and they understand me they are the love of my life
Yeah I agree

It's 3.35am and I dont even want a bird what am I doing here.
I just love this comment so much.
Damn, it's 3:41AM right now here. I'm wondering as well. Didn't know it was a thing.
Damn dude, I had to watch other videos of Morgan as well, was an emotional trip. 10/10 would recommend.
4:36am rofl
3:56am😂 right now
"Birds give plenty of clear signals before they ever bite..." My cat: *laughing*
My cat does. Slapping tail, inside corners of his eyes go up.
EVERY time my cat bites me, it is because I push it too far. Sometimes she likes the rough play though, and cuddles after, but ALL blame is on me, always.
My African Grey would be sitting on my shoulder and then just out of nowhere suddenly attack my earlobe. Puberty is such a tough time with parrots.
My cat: _Rolls on belly and begs for rubs_ *ATTACKS ANY ARMS THAT GETS CLOSE*
My cat "bites" but you barely feel a thing and instantly stops
I love watching dedicated bird caretakers interact with their birds. Owning a bird is a huge responsibility and commitment. It's why I don't have one, but I admire people who do and really know what they're doing.
Can you answer in more detail?
what? omG mY mother is a Narcissist and "owns" though you can't own a live creature two birds, whom she NEVER lets outta their cages! I crave to let them out when she isn't there, but she threatened to de-clip wings!
I took care of hundreds of macaws, mostly blue and golds and scarlets, along with a number of various parrots in a roadside zoo. These are amazing and intelligent animals, all of whom have distinct personalities. This young lady understands how to bond with the birds and make them happy.
You said she is playing with your ponytail, she is doing to you what you did to her....you were picking at her feathers.....grooming her.....she is just reciprocating.....
Wow i never thought of that
Is it funny I saw this comment right when that part of the vid came on •>•
@@foxetti101 OMg same even I saw this comment when that part was playing
Aww that’s cute 🥰
They love for the shaft of the feathers to be broken free. She's a good mommy!!
You’re a real pirate when your bird has its own peg leg

they're such cool birds though !!
Lol

Morgan always holding her bum foot up like "I can't, look, my foot's all messed up" made me tear up a little ngl 🥲
😭😢I know what a sweetie just wanna give her a million kisses
I miss my bird terribly. Birds are beautiful and intelligent creatures. She was the highlight of my life.
Hello Adrienne, how're you...
I like how she hesitantly eats the vegetable in the beginning. She's like "I don't know who you are, but I do know food."
I'm pretty sure that's how most animals are

@@inaudible3381 well, someone else has
The birds look at each other like “uhhh I guess we’re brothers now”
Lmao yes
Lol
morgan is a girl, so “uhhh I guess we’re siblings now” is what they would say
The way Morgan was kind of flapping her wings while watching your other bird fly was so adorable. Thank you for sharing this journey!
mirroring psychology! most social species have some version of it
When I got my cockatiel home for the first time I put her in the cage and left the door open for her to come out. She took a couple of hours but she eventually came to me on the first day, it was the most special thing I’ve ever felt because she trusted me enough to come to me so soon
Hello Alesha, how're you doing.!!?
I love how she just helps herself to your breakfast Haha
Yeh, I loved that too!
oli rivers 😂😂😂😂😂😂
they will do that.they don't need much of what we eat. not good for them.
@@roadmaster720 yeah maybe it would have helped to feed the same stuff too one of her other birds. She seems to only trust food which other people eat.
oli rivers birds are social eaters
I love how you treated her like a real animal, not just a cute object , you treat her perfectly
As it should be always. Treating any type of animal as human, kids, babies or anything alike is wrong. We should do the effort to understand what's their natural behaviour and instincts and deal with that. Stop dressing animals like dolls.
As you should any animal
@@manueltavares5967 but humans are animals too
@@rokuthedog Some more then others. :P What i meant was not use animals as toys or dolls or babies.
@Das Bienchen As long as we provide them with their natural needs and requirements that is ok. They should be healthy and happy with us. But should be our company not our entertainement.
I think Morgan knew she needed extra care because of her foot and that's one of the reasons she was so immediately receptive. Of course, the expertise of the owner was a huge part of it.
I'm 66 and have always wanted a Macaw, but I've been traveling most of my adult life and didn't have a "consistent" home until last year. I know they are long-lived so owning one is out of the question. The work you do is fantastic. Thank you for sharing on KZhead. 🙂
Hello there, how're you...
Maybe you could volunteer at a parrot rescue and even be a foster home
@@emerald1444 hey
I love that you stress the importance of reading body language and respecting their space. So many pet owners could learn from this.

For real, wholesome
She displays patience compassion and understanding that’s why she has such a connection. She respects them as individuals
Hello there, how're you today...
These creatures are amazingly intelligent. To many non-bird owners, and even some owners, it's hard to notice 'emotion'. But they have a soul and trust and care and all sorts. They are preciously delicate in many ways and need to be nurtured. They are naturally timid and nervous so to form a bond is especially satisfying. Love to all other bird owners out there.
“I don’t want your beak first, I want your foot first.” *Morgan stares in disbelief*

You're a pirate captain now
🤣🤣🤣 She easily could be!
Level 1 Bird Level 100 Pirate Captain
Thank you so much for doing this video! I didn't adopt a macaw, but I just brought home a fairly unhandled cockatiel that was being kept in conditions that weren't ideal. The guy brought her too me in a waffle box with some holes and she was pretty scared and going wild in there, soon as I got her home I wanted to follow what you did with Morgan in some ways, let her come out of the box on her own instead of reaching in and grabbing her. She flew out eventually in a panic again but after she landed on the floor I just sat by her and talked to her for 10-15 minutes and kept putting my hand close to her (but not right by her), she eventually got curious and stepped up onto my hand! I was pretty happy haha. She didn't want to get down though once she was on me, she kept gripping her feet tighter when I'd try to put her near her new cage, so I just sat back down and waited till she felt confident enough to crawl down. It might be awhile before she decides to step back up on my hand, but I appreciate the information I get out of your videos!
kzhead.info/sun/dKttdM18j5qhgGg/bejne.html
That's amazing. Hope you and your cockatiel are doing great.
Thank you for your kindness, love the birds, life time friends ❤️
Poor creature, despite clearly feeling insecure and vulnerable because of the foot is still so sweet and gentle! I love your skill in not triggering defensive behaviour in her.
Pomo Dorino I find it shocking also. That bird must have a golden personality.
"I'm just going to watch a couple minutes of this" 20 minutes later
indeed, I was going to bed 22mins ago..
Same. Now I'm looking for "Day 2". I think Morgan is falling in love.
Me too and i dont even have birds
@@PMDJBMS Right? And I'm like maybe I could get birds and make them my whole world now.
same here...I think the 'mommyese' was mesmerizing, especially the "good girl" and it was nice to see the bird becoming more trusting and relaxed.
Hi! I know this video is kind of old now, but, I wanted to say that when I brought my baby green cheek conure home (after a 2 hour drive) I IMMEDIATELY started interacting with her, I never locked her up in her cage. Despite what I heard, I did what I felt was right. She warmed up to me so fast and she was so comfortable. She was only a few months old, but I didn't want to just "lock her up for a couple of days" like people were suggesting.
What a beautiful bond she encourages ... And the birds understand her!!
Hello Sherri, how're you today?
I'll admit, I figure you'd be just another instagram person who's just trying to show off their wacky animals but you're legit a bird expert. Awesome video.
Dex is wacky ?
Dex your wacky
lol
I watch these without even owning or thinking about having a bird lol its just really entertaining
I find that a huge compliment so thank you!
Dude same!!! I dream to have birds but I just can’t afford it. Nor do I have the space. :( my best friend has a green cheeked conure and she’s lovely! My friend and I both love birds and we visit the local bird boarder to see all the cool pets staying there!
CodeXANA I have four birds :) they are great
You are so patient and kind to these gorgeous creatures.
Never had any birds, but my last pet was a fluffy little hamster. They say you should give them LOTS of time and space to adjust, but mine got my scent on the way home, and within three days, was trying to get my attention whenever anything went awry. I still remember the first time I put a finger up to the wall of his bin, and he met it on the other side with his paw. Or when he stood up and literally gave me the biggest *:3* smile. I can't attest to how well this womans' methods work with birds, but I can tell you this much. Pet animals are generally very good with context clues. You just need to be cognizant- look at them and listen when they try to tell you things. I'd say that leaving a critter in their bin just feels like imprisonment. Like a stint in the holding cell. I wouldn't recommend that- your pet is an individual, and soon-to-be part of your family. They deserve to get to know you, and you them.
I REALLY want a bird.But I've promised myself I wont buy one until im absolutely certain I can love it correctly. Thanks for your vids. They've taught me quite a bit
schrodingers cat Been 3 months! What’s happened.
It's not hard to take care of a bird,but the need attention.if you don't have 3 or 4 hrs a day to play,don't get one.
Joseph Gallagher It depends on the type of bird they getting. you must be responsible of waking up and cleaning your birds Bottom cage (every other day) and changing water and food. I’m getting a cockatiel on Monday. I researched, and I think the idea of waking up earlier then I do to clean out her food and water and get to play with her, is actually kinda nice. Will be heading to be earlier now! X
@@jennifer23426 it took me about 20 mins to clean my hans's(Penelope)cage n get her fed n what not.i think they're much easier than cats or dogs,I'm a bird/reptile fan though.keep up the good work.your birds are beautiful!I hope I can get another one sometime soon.
Also.... Consider how old you are because it'll most likely outlive you, so making sure if someone can look after it in the future if that's the case would also be good :)
When I am training my Quaker or just getting her to do a simple trick, her reward is always me getting exited and saying "Yeah, you did it!" which makes her so happy, when I try to use treats for training she completely ignores the treat and will just step up on my hand if I offer her a treat as a reward, also she will shout "I did it!" back at me in a super happy and exited tone 😂
That was lovely.
Awwwww!
SnazzyCat omg same
Awwww! Soo cute!
SnazzyCat THATS SO ADORABLE
Those small little flaps Morgan does watching your other bird fly is adorable!! You can really tell she wants to fly!
I miss my "Gaia" Greenwing so much, we had 20 years together. Thanks for showing this correct attitude to handling Macaw's, I did similar. PS. Taken me years to be able to look at them again since she passed. So thanks again.
She's beatiful, literally like a rainbow.
Maxmilian right
Like a painting, nature's art.
I would love her taking care of my bird.
The bird, right?
Haha
This randomly popped up in my feed, I don't have birds or much interest in them but I watched all of this video. Amazing work, you can see the trust being formed and the trust from your other birds. Top work.
Thanks so much. I'm amazed how many non bird owners watch and enjoy it. :)
Also popped up randomly in my feed. Lots of patience but what an amazing pet owner.
Showed up for me and I was so interested in seeing you train her. Reminds me of Andre the seal movie, Free Willie, etc. I loved those growing up. I'd watch a movie on this bird and you teaching her anyway. I think I just did actually, time to binge watch season 1. Edit: Wow I just saw the thumbnail for "Morgan The Macaw Series Finale." It's actually a thing, and that thumbnail is amazing.
@@BirdTricks i do own birds but before i was about to get birds i watched i got a pet bird all the time!
Just a beautiful family. I love how we're introduced slowly to all family members, the newcomer first Morgan, then the birds, the little girl child, the hubby. The most beautiful of all is the woman looking after these incredible creatures. I just love Morgan. Macaws are the best. They remind me personality wise, a little of cockatiels. Australian yellow combs.
Hello Amanda, how're you doing today??
the true way of dealing with animals compassion patience and love. nice video
I bought a cockatiel that was stuffed in a tiny cage with several other birds before I got him. He had one tail feather left and was in pretty beat up condition, and, I had no idea how old he was. He wanted zero to do with me. Every time I put my hand in his cage he'd run from it and bite me (never hard though).. It was taking forever and I was so ready to give up but I know how long cockatiels can live..I did not want this bird in my house for the next 10+ years, confined to a cage because he hated everyone so I persisted. It took me over a year to fully gain his trust. I've had him for 11 years now. He's free range in the house (he has 2 small cages that he sits on, and goes in when he feels like it, but the door to them is open 24/7 and he's rarely in either), and he's 100% attached to me..I do a lot of computer work so when my hands are busy typing, he'll tuck himself up under my chin or my nose and bob his head up and down (he's petting himself since i cant take care of it in that moment). If you're patient (and let's be honest, don't value your 'quiet' time that much) birds make extremely sweet, affectionate pets. (Don't get me wrong..he can cop a major attitude when he wants to)
Woah. This gives me hope for hopefully future cockatiel that I’m slightly worried about trust.
@@rodneysworld8328 It can take a long time, especially if they dont have their wings clipped (when I got him his wings were clipped already, but I've never had them clipped since), but over time they come around :) My boyfriend of 4 years is absolutely in love with my bird but since he's already picked his person(me), he wants little to do with him, but since he's so persistent (he tries every day to pet/kiss him), my bird has even warmed up to him a little.. he will put his head down when my boyfriend leans in to give him a kiss..then immediately look up and hiss at him..then put his head back down for another kiss
Why do you support practices like that by buying an Animal?
It’s better than it living in that place. It was probably some one who got a bird who couldn’t take care of it. Then put it on criags list or something
please split up your text
She is an absolute sweetheart and obviously wants nothing more than to be loved. Best of luck with her, she is truly a beautiful blessing.
.
❤❤❤
seen the intelligence of parrots, it must be so liberating for a parrot to feel supported and to sense one is aware of their intelligence and trying to communicate…
I don’t know why these make me emotional 😭🤣 I feel like building confidence, trust, and respect with an animal, or human, over demanding and selfishness is just moving.
Just like any Child you give them breakfast but they dont want it they just want what you are eating
@KTMD its cereal. It is fine. Why would you even think that she would let her birds eat something bad?
KTMD oh 😂 well I’m pretty sure if she had any chance of getting it she wouldn’t let that happen
Thats true my lovebird started biting my lettuce so i tore a peice off for her, she licked it and went back to mine.
Man I can watch this cute lady and her cute birds all day.
Thank you everyone that owns a bird should watch your videos. So many people get birds bc they are so beautiful and don't understand how much care they require. Happens with large marine aquariums also.

Hello..... how are you doing today?
Very impressive! many years ago I took care of 17 Exotic Parrots for 10 years and it was a real joy in my life! Listening to them talk, sing, and just the affection they desired to be petted, scratched, and loved. Thanks for the wonderful compassion you and your family have for these adorable, colorful, creations!
Thank you for adopting a bird with semi-functional leg. It's a good thing people still ready to love animals with disabilities.
To be fair, my friend Patty adopted her, I am just doing the training :) but agreed.
Is it an issue if she bonds with you during the training, and then has to experience separation and then a new person?
@@BirdTricks lol
My kids wanted our African Grey parrot to ride on their shoulders but she kept nipping their ears, not hard but hard enough. So I put her on my shoulder and when she nipped, I jerked a bit and hollered "ouch". A couple minutes later, she jerked, hollered "ouch", and nibbled my ear gently.
I worked with baboons once and when you say the word Ouch or jerk away they see you as weak and bite you harder ._.
SpriteWild lmaoooooo
SpriteWild LMAO why is that so funny to me
Having patience and being gentle does it, obviously. I‘m impressed how much Morgan trusted you within that short amount of time!
Ohhhh my goodness!! I absolutely LOVE Macaws!! They're such beautiful and majestic birds! I've always wanted one and watching you with Morgan is just gorgeous.
Hello..... how are you doing today?
You know when you said you should never be bitten if you are paying attention to their body language. I can't say how much I completely believe this to be true. The first year I had my Umbrella Cockatoo I was bitten several times, not out of anger, but over stimulation, just playing too rough etc. Since I learned how to "listen" to her I haven't been bitten. Not once.
Is this your bird in the profile pic if so absolutely beautiful
This is also true of almost any animal. Dogs and cats are the most popular pets around the world and people get bitten by them all of the time because they don't pay attention! Most animals will give clear signs that they're uncomfortable with your actions and will most likely bite you if you don't stop what you're doing, but people are stupid and don't bother to read their body language.
Whoah. I love your gentleness and patience for these birds. Your love for these birds is very clear. My 43year old african grey died suddenly a few months ago. I miss him incredibly. Birds are great characters. Thanks for sharing 💜
43?! Wow...
@@nishitraj. 43 was from his 1st year from being taken from his original owner. So he may be much older than that. He was a rescue bird and id known him many years before he was given to me. I had wurzel for 24 years. if anyone knew all my secrets it was wurzel. Told him everything. He died in my hands and i took him outside in the open where he loved to be and he took his last breathe. He used to call me wench!! To this day i do not know who taught him that. Too much tv. Lol I would love to raise a cockatoo. White crested bird. They are all beautiful creatures. Yeah it was nice to see this clip pop up in recommended to watch. The girl is amazing with these birds. 💖
@@taz7404 aww man! We make such lovely bonds with the feathered and furried brethren it sometimes feels like a curse that we outlive our best friends. The memories though are forever to cherish. I feel you, "wench" 😛
I hope you got another one. Even though when you lose an animal you won't want another one to replace that one. Sorry for your loss even though this was three weeks ago.
So sorry to know, however I was told by a veterinarian that sometimes birds die. No reason. Hope that gives you comfort. I have loved and lost too.
I had a green macaw 🦜 named Taco growing up. This video made me miss him!! Taco is still alive and living with my grandparents friends in Florida. These birds are so beautiful!!
You will train the sweet bird well, because your such a gentle loving Mum
"You should never get bitten by a bird. They show you signs." Unless you are any species of cockatoo. Then you are screwed. Lol
My lovebirds hanging on my shoulder, chilling, BAM A PIECE OF MY SKIN GONE. Lol. I saw no sign there let me tell ya.
Vanessa Desgagné - and they are called love birds!!! 🤨
@Dragon Master they are little assholes. Which I love dearly lol
Vanessa Desgagné - I understand. A cat clawed my face once by accident. Just once.
I love that you stress the importance of reading body language and respecting their space. So many pet owners could learn from this.
I just assumed when I started watching this video that she had no kids. Boy that’s a lot of responsibility but also rewarding.
I wish this lady would adopt me so we can bond.
@@krikeydial3430 lol
Takes a special person who really loves these birds. Wonderful. You’re a natural! Thanks for sharing!
The only reason the parrot is so compliant is because it sees the stuffed duck hanging on the wall @7:48. LOL

My Scarlet rode on my shoulder during walks in the neighborhood. He became my bird because everyone ignored him. He drank from fountains, orange juice from a glass, climbed trees in our yard, and laughed at me. I miss him.

I love how you could see her wings sorta flapping slightly when she was watching your other parrot fly to you, haha. Morgan seems like a sweet bird who just needs some love.
my heart super melted at 19 min when she was like flapping her own wings when she saw your other bird fly
This was really beautiful and Morgan is such a precious soul. It's a shame about her little foot but I know you'll get her where you want her to be with her training.
Hello Theresa, how're you doing today???
You're such a loving person. The bird is really lucky to be in your home !!
Yeah I would feel really lucky too when I used to roam around freely and then be kept in a small house.
@@michael2305 oh shut up. if I had a pet like you, i would keep you in the smallest cage ever.
@@michael2305 these birds are born in captivity, genius.. they are not taken out of the wild. 🙄
No Caged bird is a lucky bird. A lucky bird is one born in the wild who is never caught by poachers.
@@michael2305 uh-
I loved when Morgan was watching flight and started to flap her wings when ever the other bird flew.
You have such a gentle and loving spirit. Who wouldn’t want to be your pet?
You're awesome! Big thing with birds is knowing when to dial it back and let them be before they get super stimulated. I love your methods.
I don’t want a huge exotic bird like the ones you have but what the heck, if I was getting one, I would totally listen to you! I have no idea what I’m doing here but I’m honestly not disappointed because this was super interesting lol.
You are marvelous! I love that you encourage flight! The world need a lot more kind souls like you!
I think you need to be cautious about Free Flight. Many a domestic bird in my area have been killed by the Hawks that have populated our area. Clipping the flight feathers is recommended by most of the Bird Breeders in my area because of this danger. I'd rather have a momentary unhappy bird than a dead one.
If the house or area is too small, the bird could get injured while flying around. I would rather clip the wings. Besides, cutting their wings wouldn’t hurt them.
It may not seem like cutting the wings hurts them but it in fact, does... psychologically and physically. A bird's respiratory system doesn't even function at full capacity unless the bird is in flight. When it comes to "fight or flight" and you take away flight, you have a bird who feels like all it can do is fight (bite) to communicate. It's incredibly detrimental and selfish to bring a bird into your home and take away its primary means of transportation and overall what actually makes it a bird in the first place.
Free flight outdoors is about risk management. So knowing your predators as well as you know your prey (the parrots) - we studied under a falconer to learn when to fly, where, and how. I'd rather offer an amazing quality of life for the 80+ years my birds will be alive then to settle on life indoors, in a cage, without ever experiencing what they were meant to do; fly. Maybe your area isn't safe to fly in, that's fine. Ours isn't great either which is why we take trips to do so.
BirdTricks - Oh, okay! :>
You are so talented and Morgan is so blessed to have you.
Hello.... how are you doing today?
Her whole house is like a bird store. That's a lot of love for her pets!
I love that you immediately interacted with her, I believe in that 100% (unlike other people) me personally would do the same thing, to establish trust right away, some people are like “oh no don’t even look at them for the first week THEY WILL DIE OF FRIGHT” and where yes they will be slightly scared it’s nice to let them know that there’s nothing to be afraid of
I think so to
This is a long shot, (since this was posted so long ago), but I want your opinion. I'm getting a cockatiel, which tend to be really flighty, would this still be the case? Then I would just have a cockatiel flying all around the room/house instead of bonding with me. That's my only worry. How am I to get them to stay by me instead of flying away.
@@jazzymin145 Let the bird come to you, and give them lots of opportunities and incentive to do so. At the beginning of the video you saw that she left the bird on the counter and let her come out on her own time, but coming back often to talk to her and offer treats. If they really don't want you by the end of the day, coax them onto a perch and put them in their cage for the night to try again the next day. The big this is to not be grabby and chasing them around the house. Let them find their own comfortable routine. (I work at a parrot sanctuary and grew up owning and training them) hope that helps!
The point is to not overwhelm it in the first 24 hours. Should be just for observation.
when I got my bird she was obsessed with me!! wouldn’t let me leave the room😁 it was an instant bond!
You are so great at just immediately learning the macaw and making that connection!! It warms my heart to know how well of a home she made it too :) thank god you have her
What a gorgeous and loving bird. I've heard of birds not forming a connection with it's owner for over a year, and yet you bonded with her so well in under 3 hours! I'm definitely going to try these things when I get my own bird, if this applies to a cockatiel.
When they fly it's like a taradactile going thru the room.
Nancy Fahey a pterodactyl? 😂

“No. I want YOUR breakfast” lol
Waaahhhh.... She's so cute and gentle. You guys are amazing. I wish every parrot in the world could be living happily in the wild. And if not - with you 💚
I'm so glad people like you exist.
Oh.. I thought you had like one or two birds.. but my God it's a zoo
THE BIRB QUEEN
😂👍 she's the Queen Parrot...and you know we all 💖💟💗 it.
I wonder how she even sleeps!¯\_(ツ)_/¯ But all of these birds have great homes!
I don't know a thing about bird care (other than food and water) or behaviour, but you appear to know your stuff and I'm glad you go with it and don't listen to other "experts" I'm a dog person and with over forty years of experience I don't listen to the "experts". A lot of people say the same with a new dog or puppy, "leave it there to settle in", "leave it alone in the kitchen overnight to settle in" first thing I do is like you, establish that I'm a person to trust, I am a safe place to go to when in fear, pain or in need of attention, I am the the most interesting person in any environment. The result, like you a well balanced loving animal that will happily sample new experiences with you because it trusts your judgement. Thank you for enriching these birds lives.
exactly! I am a bird and dog person, but when we got a puppy, everyone was like "leave it alone" I didn't listen, I let her come out of the cage, and on the first day she would come when I told her to. We bonded for the first day, and now she is the most loving thing you will ever see.
Such gorgeous Macaws n colorful ❤️😍. Looks like Morgan is settling in just fine. She gets around very good in spite of her bum foot. She’s beautiful 😍. Many years of happiness to you n Morgan❤️💜. Excellent training!
Hello dear....why do this to me I Helo you track the money and then you got it and left me it's all good I didn't ever know what I did to you
Amazing how a 20 minute video can feel like it only lasts for 5 minutes. Lady, you have so much patience and your way of installing trust with these birds is a joy to watch.
You have some absolutely beautiful birds I’m jealous lol
Rainbow birds are the best
Her birds are so sexy
Camel TowTrucker You’re mentally upset Indian kid.
Phantominious BeastzGamez I think he’s not okay
Sexy birds. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
5:45 when she said that she forgot her tea and it was cold, I remembered my tea and it was also cold 😹
XD
Omg same.
You are the bird whisperer, You connect because you don’t force yourself in their personal space instead you let them come to you. You give them confidence with your soft voice and encouragement.
You are an amazing human being. The level of care for just 1 is one big challenge, but 3 I'm speechless. Many blessings for all the hard work and dedication to these beautiful birds.
4:10 “don’t worry about a thing.” Meanwhile taxidermy birds in background
lmao
😂
Parrots have excellent sight, so he probably have noticed them, and yet he ain't shook.
Coinhunter777 !!! Hahahahah 😂😂
exactly the comment i was looking for
I recently lost my parrot a few months ago due to old age, it’s heartbreaking to think about but watching this brings me joy. Thank you for having such a good bond with them
Awww, so sorry for your loss.
Awww, im sorry for your loss, hope that if you get a new bird it'll bond with you
king ghidorah i was heavily debating getting a new parrot, giving another birb a life full of love sounds great, I just don’t know if I’m ready for that yet. Thank you so much for your condolences, it means a lot 🙏🏼
How old was your parrot to die of old age? Truly interested. Is this a species of bird that can live to be 75 80s years old?
@@marypenebaker898 my parrot was with me for over 20 years. I lost him when he turned 27. He was a Senegal parrot.
After all these years, Morgan is the one who brings me to ugly tears. Still!! ❤️🐦❤️
Hello there, how's things going for you??
Morgan seems like she's going to be a great addition to the family! She's adorable as are the rest of your parrots!
I work from home, boss rings me and is like "Did you manage to get the proposal sent by close of play for Stanley Security today?" "Yes..........Yes I did". What I meant to say was "No, I've been watching people get new pets for the last 3 hours instead".
Ha ha..
@madzangels if ur Boss is watching this Video too... and reads this comment have fun😂
You're fired.
Aw!!! I did this with my cockatiel and everyone scolded me and told me I was traumatizing her. I tried their way because I felt terrible, and THAT was traumatizing. People think cockatiels aren’t smart enough to engage and associate you as a non-threat so long as you take the time to show them this, too. I then reintroduced my original method and gained her trust immediately. Now she’s just a big baby. 😂 some birds require special attention. In my cockatiels case, shoving her in a cage and leaving her alone to acclimate was absolutely zero help. Especially when it was closed and the bird was already used to foraging and having open space. I don’t understand why you wild tell future bird owners to leave the bird alone and not bother t inside the cage when your breeders specifically bred them by hand and in the open (even in the store the birds are free to roam). It was just so strange to me; counterintuitive.
Morgan is an absolute genius, how did she learn to step up properly so fast. She's so smart and attentive.
Maybe playing with your ponytail is her way of preening you. I don’t know anything about tropical birds but you are great with them. God Bless You for helping these birds so they can go to their forever homes.
