  • Comet is my yellow dominant camelot macaw. A camelot macaw is a type of hybrid macaw with 3 different color variations; red dominant, yellow dominant and blue/green dominant. The same clutch of eggs can have all different colored babies. All hybrids look a little different though.

    30 solid seconds of foot check, followed by fluff, cuteness, and sunny feathers. Thank you for drowning out the dreariness of the current world for a few minutes. It is needed, and appreciated. ❤️☀️

    Why wonder? I bet finding their lost brother or sister wouldnt be too hard. Youd get relief knowing and a family reunion for sure would be super cool to see.

  • @jackandmore5358
    @jackandmore5358 Před 4 lety +5

    It’s fantastic the way you let Capri be with and respect the birds. So many families who don’t own birds as a profession will just straight up rehome a bird if it doesn’t work out the first time with a kid instead of teaching the kid and the bird to respect and be respected

  • @mimthyss
    @mimthyss Před 4 lety +53

    How do you tell the difference between a foot-check and him putting his head down for scritches? 😊💖

    • @Dubanx
      @Dubanx Před 4 lety +5

      Yeah, that looked like he wanted you to scratch his head to me. Seemed really insistent about it too.

    • @Secure-Pay
      @Secure-Pay Před 4 lety +10

      If he was to beg for head scratches, his head/neck feathers would fluff up.

  • @girlinblue2738

    "Tuck, drop, cling on." this reminds me of leaving your bff even if you'll see each other the next day.

    Hi Jamieleigh I have been a fan of you and your husband since I wanted a parrot and that was about 4 years back and I just want to say that thanks because you and your husband gave me allot of advise and I finally got a parrot.Thanks Allot ❤️

  • @theftking
    @theftking Před 4 lety

    I loved the vid. That said, I am an avian behavioralist, and new research indicates that birds who stare at their feet are _actually_ trying to communicate that they are being mistreated. In this case, the foot staring was of a longer duration than most, which is how exotic parrots like Macaws communicate that their owners are very good at concealing the abuse, and that despite outward appearances, their allegations of neglect should be taken seriously. It’s either that, or the bird could be trying to communicate that they need to poop soon.

    When Jamieleigh sat down and said to Comet, you foot checking? I thought she said fact checking and maybe he is. Maybe he is in fact checking that Jamieleigh is correct when she said his feet are still there. He's just being a team player :)

    So glad you did a video with Comet, he's such a beautiful McCaw with striking colors. When you were describing how to tell Comet and Tusa apart from the back, it works well. I've always wondered why some birds are fascinated with their feet, but then I think they look so different from the rest of their body, so why not, lol. He's healthy and Happy and Content, can't ask for more.

  • @EmilyMeredith
    @EmilyMeredith Před 3 lety +1

    Ok so I know you've probably thought of this and you are so wayyyy more experienced than I could ever be-- but my corella started doing "prolonged foot checks" last year kinda out of the blue. For a couple days I didn't think anything of it, checked her feet, no problems, so I left her be. She kept doing it, so I wanted to look once more fully. I ended up finding the tiniest of splinters on the underside of one of her feet, so small I would've never seen or felt it otherwise. It wasn't inflamed or anything. I believe it was from a wooden perch she had gnawed on. Now I sand down every natural wood perch and check them by running my hand across them every so often.

    When my Cocatiel Annie does foot checking she is actually asking to be help with head feathers or just to be scratched on her head
    - and actually she get demanding to be scratched and few times correct me to scratch her as she prefers, it’s more adorable think ever, it almost like appreciation from her point of view
