I’m so glad you were able to separate Bamboo from the other males! I can tell he’s much happier already!!
A more weird
Glad for Bamboo. Remember that he is imprinted on you, so Bamboo will always be closer to his human than another emu. I had that happen with the first Houdan roosters I had in my breeding program. I handled them too much and they became more imprinted on me than their hens. Still, with the right female, there is still a chance that he may breed one day. Glad you moved him. You can tell Bamboo is much happier.
Oh wow! That makes so much sense
I'm glad you got Bambo out of the field and put him back in his old place. He looks happier with a mate and away from the other Emus. To me he was showing thanks for moving me back were I feel safe.
Awe, he wasnt being weird. He was hanging with daddy and feeling comfortable. Thats how we know he is happy and back to normal. 😊
He wanted to do sexy with daddy 😳😳
SO happy for Bamboo. It's obvious how much you love and care about your animals, but still, thank you for making sure he has a space he feels happy and comfortable in. I hope he continues to be the happiest he can be~
Its rly sad seeing bamboo sacred from everyone it made me tear a bit cause he was the reason I found this channel seeing him playing made me feel good
I wish he starts cherishing his life
Trueeee. I was there when bamboo hatched
Emu's make such cool sounds. I'm glad that Bamboo is in a space that he is happier in.
Bamboo is who drew me to your channel years ago. I am glad you helped him.
So, the issue here is in how Bamboo was raised. Hes not seeing you as Emus, hes seeing himself as a human. He helieves he is meant to mate, be friends with, and flock with you guys. For him, he will never be anywhere close to as enriched by emus than he is with you guys.
He didn't grow up learning emu boundaries and language, so he is being alienated by the others.
I think spending some good time with Bamboo daily, maybe even have him on a long harness while doing daily chores (wild idea, i know) could really benefit him and his social needs.
He acts sexually attracted to the father and confused about what to do with the other male emus. Probably not correctable. Should have vet assess hormone levels.
I am glad for Bamboo. You have an awesome herding dog who doesn't seem to be trained but really wants to help you. If trained you could have had them hold the white emus off of you. I had a small handful of sheep and it helped so much when I got my Sheltie cross trained enough to help me.
I think they did try sending her off for training but she was acting out
They did try but the trainer was awful and terrified poor Joey :(
@@PrairieMountainPoodles There is a really good book on training a herding dog. I lost it some time ago and don't remember the title but I got it from Amazon when they were still just books.
Yeah, they looked into having her trained, but the place they were going to take her to, for some reason, wanted her there with them, in their care for 1-3 months….I can’t remember how long it was, but it was pretty long and she would have been living with them and they were going to “train” her. Then, the trainers called and said she growled and tried to bite or did bite,can’t remember which, but that they needed to come pick her up. This was the same day they dropped her off. These people weren’t comfortable being filmed. They were definitely not trying to train the right way and there were lots of red flags. So, they were lucky to get Joey back safe and they dodged a bullet with those “trainers”.
@@Apcidefulwasn't her acting out the trainers were giving off some pretty nasty red flags and they pulled the dog out for the dogs safety
You could see a world of difference in bamboo after he was moved back to his old spot. So happy that it worked out well. God bless you guys!
Bamboo was initially raised as a house pet and he remained a house pet. His natural instincts never took over his pet habits
It’s wonderful that you cater to your animals in the most considerate and loving way.
So happy that Bamboo is happier and back to his normal self. I'm sure Peekaboo is too. I like the name Paisley. She and Poppy are so cute ☺.
I love that you guys care about their mental health. I like that you guys adjust situations to make sure the animals are happy. Great farming practices
bamboo was checkin you out from EVERY angle, he must be feeling better in the location . also i think he imprinted on you jake, you are the chosen one he’s only got eyes for you 🤣
I was 12 when I first started watching your videos and now I’m 18 love seeing your beautiful family grow over there years and sharing it with us 🫶🏽
That is awesome!
The bond between your family and bamboo is so amazing to see an animal can love so much and care ❤
I am so glad you named the baby cow Paisley, I had suggested that name...what a awesome pick...love your family ❤
So happy that Bamboo is happier. I'm sure Peekaboo is too. I like the name Paisley. She and Poppy are so cute.
I love how the boys are growing up and can hold the camera I’ve been watching for a while I can’t wait to see them grow and take over
The head collar is called a halter. They can also wear collars, like the ones they put cow bells on.
I'm glad sweet Bamboo is happy again 😊
I do love bamboo, he seems happier now. He probably looks as you as a mate because you raised him from a baby, he doesn't love other emus only your family..love paisley great name goes well together with the others..xx
The love you show to your animals is spectacular!🙏
You are so kind
I really hope bamboo gets better soon and I love your videos sooo much, I’ve been watching for 4 years so I decided to start a mini farm of my own in my garden with flocks of chickens, ducks, a couple cats and more! I’m so thankful for you and your videos for inspiring me to do it ❤❤❤
I'm convinced bamboo thinks he's a human like you because of the bond he created with you guys 😂❤ so cute glad y'all helped him feel less on edge 💕
I love that you moved him because it was best for him!
Poor baby!
Bamboo needs to be happy! I’m sure you guys will do everything to get Bamboo happy again!
I was really impressed by Eli’s filming skills 👏👏 Becky is giving me hair goals and it was great hearing you finally name the calf. ❤
I'm glad Bamboo is back to himself again ... maybe he will surprise you this year
Lets hope our boio will be happy again! From this long journey of hatching, waddling in the house to the new farm spots and gender reveal. 😅 hes not being weird i think hes thanking you
Poor bamboo! I hope he does better.
I love how you guys always try to put your animals first
I’m so happy him to be back in his home… I wish they all could get along but your babies hatches get preferences ❤️
So glad to see the pigeons are still doing well! I got myself a pair of pet homing pigeons and they're amazing birds.
I've watched Bamboo since you decided to try out incubating Emu eggs Jake. I love how much you love him. Your family's great
Sweet. ❤ Bamboo is happy 💙
Maybe you shoud get some more pannels to make it easyer to get the Emu's back and forth from the pasture to the emu yard.
Kinda like a shute, so when you get the Emus trough the pasture gate then they automaticly go to the emu yard instead of wrestling them.
Or get a connected gate from pasture to yard.
It is interesting seeing a big bird being so gentle.
the young lad did that filming he did well
Bamboo said "thanks, dad, for moving me back home!"
Prayers continuing for Bamboo! I hope he and Peekaboo are doing well together! Merry Christmas to you and your family!
awe you can see how happy he is back at his home
The more I see your emus, the more I like them. Wishing the best!
I love your videos they just make me smile the whole time I’m watching them
Thanks for sharing your lives with us
That’s the life I always wanted, but never got it but I can share it through you guys. Thanks.
Bamboo loves you! He’s thanking you for putting him back in his safe place
I love the name of paisley, I was really hoping for boo or miracle, but paisley is so sweet and too cute ❤
Bamboo is back feeling safe
He’s not weird he just thinks your his buddy 🥰✌️🇬🇧
I did watch the video where you moved the emus into the horse pasture thing, poor Bamboo I love Bamboo.
Man i havent watched your channel in awhile I remember them hatching. I hope bamboo is ok and gets better he's my fav
A mud tip for your dry lot, 3-4" of ag lime will keep that mud down! It worked wonders for our horses!
Bamboo is so sweet love your video's. Hope y'all have a merry Christmas 🎄☃️🦌 and a happy new year
I started watching your channel with the incubation of Bamboo's egg. The title of that video said something about the size of the egg. Can't believe it has been 4 years since you bought his property
Paisley the calf is being brought me joy and I hope 🤞 that she grows up in the future nice milking cows 🐄 for you guys 😊Without kicking problems
I mean -- Name which is CUTE when you call out.
Ugh animals can be such a pain, it would be so easy if everyone got along but that's nature for you I guess, I went through this to a lesser degree this year with chickens, they didn't all get along so we had to do all sorts of shuffling to keep everyone happy
Hey WHOTH! I have a recommendation to slow down your cows eating the hay bale and to keep the hay dust out of their lungs! So, I have horses and they bury their heads in the hay while eating, causing them to have terrible coughs. This could be the same for your cows too. Also, our horses eat their hay really fast.
So, we got these hay nets that go around the entire hay bale. This prevents them from burying their heads in the hay and slows them down eating.
Hope this helps! 😊
Animal's are very sensitive to change. Just like children are.
I hope he gets feeling better.
It is not that bamboo is weird, but he is imprinted on people, which messes with his breeding instincts.
I love yall so much i been watching yall for a year yall made me get chickens and i love them ❤
Found your channel thru the bamboo video, glad he's happy. :)
Feels very good. Great going guys,
Can we get any update on aviary
You could switch the emus around time to time, so Bamboo too gets to run around in the big field.
for shed ideas for the broody emus and their eggs i would suggest a shed that only the emus and humans can fit inside to prevent horses from going in the during the winter for shelter and stepping on the eggs
I love this channel, I would do anything just to spend a day with them ❤ already have had dreams of doing it
Well done, this was really nice to see. You know your boy and you’ve done the right thing by him💗
We had a similar issue with our cockatiel. It was a male and we kept him alone at first to be able to tame him. He completely fixated on my partner. When he was at work he was lonely and started to scream, so we got a female to pair with him. The female tried her best to get his attention but he just wasn't interested. At least the screaming stopped but I felt sorry for the poor female that he kept ignoring for the most part.
I think you have to be careful when you raise birds that usually only have one breeding partner. If there are no other mates around they'll easily fixate on you and start showing some unhealthy behavior. Once they're "in love" with you there's no way back.
You do great cinematography
Is that a sheepdog? You need an emudog!
🐶🐶🐶
So happy to see your bird happy
It seems like you could just do a secondary feed site in that big, big space. I know it is not ideal, but it might be easier than maintaining a second habitat ontop of that big first. Worst case, just divide the big, big space once you have the secondary feed site established.
Bamboo is such a keeper. ❤❤❤
I think Bamboo missed the close interactions with you all. He has such a close bond with you!
I love your channel so much!
Bamboo is fine for the rest of the his life I think it’s just getting better now that he’s older but he’s still sweet heart ❤️ he’s so much more loved old times because he was dominant and he’s always best friend for you guys
Yayyyy! I’ve been begging for Paisley since she was born 🥰 It’s my lil granddaughters middle name.
happy for bamboo he looks happier already
Paisley was my first choice! Glad you agreed! It's just perfect!
It's times like this you wish you could communicate with the animals so you know what the animal really wants
Warning! Tears flow at the end!
Yes! He is a wild creature held in captivity. Stay safe
He was always with us... never in the wild. So there's never been a wild nature about him.
Bamboo is such a sweet boy. I'm so sorry he was bullied. But I hope he gets back to his old self soon 😊
Maybe call a zookeeper of emus to find out their breeding habits.
That's why there's the power of.... THE INTERNET.
Good thing you noticed something was wrong, he looks happier already.
My Texas hobby farmer, he seeds his pastures with Rye Grass Seed every early fall. He has a seeder that attaches to his tractor. He calls the Rye Grass: Winter Grass. And it only grows for that one season and has to be reseeded every year. Warm weather terminates the rye grass in the Spring. But it is a big savings on hay rounds in the winter. The cattle love the winter rye grass. The horses too. And the goats and donkeys. And the Ostrich. And the Alpaca. It is a money saving trick that I have not seen anyone else do. But this habit has been handed down for several generations in his family. Texas has had 2 years of summer drought of months without a drop of rain and all his pastures are brown. Zero grazing. He had to purchase an emergency acreage for grazing for the cattle. If the droughts end, he will use the emergency acres for hay bales every year. If the droughts continue, he will move his cattle to the better grass pastures every year. It is all Bahia Grass but the emergency acres has better soil that can survive the drought much better. He is in the process of treating the soil in his pastures to better support the good Bahia grass. He has lots of sandy soil and clay soil Both nasty,. The sandy soil looks like moon dust and the clay soil is like solid brick. It will 1 and 1/2 years of treatment to fix all the soil. Yikes. Anyway, I notice your pastures are very short and un-green. That is why your hay is disappearing so fast.
You should plant some bushes in random places in the enclosure it helps with animals not bullying each other into stress cause the emus could hide behind and under them and it makes a barrier zoos do the same in mixed enclosure’s cause out of sight out of mind for most animals
Watching this after a long day at school is such a reward!!! ❤
Great videos Jake!
Thank you 😊
watching here from the Philippines :) hope you give us more videos, 2 videos a week will be more fun for me.... im still watching your videos from the begining and now maybe i'm in the middle :D so fun watching Eli and Uriah growing up :)
I'm glad Bamboo returned to his old self when he got his space back. Him being weird tho I hear that's a common problem with all ratite and other emu and ostrich farmers struggle a lot with getting their males to like the females. You most likely will need one off the white males with Peekaboo if you want fertile eggs but at least Bamboo can have company until then
Great video! Love the calf's name. And learning lots about emus. I'm positive I don't want to ever own one. Lol
😂
Coy hill farm emus Nugget does the same laying down for the owner, he wants a rub or scratches.
He loves you. ❤️
Hi guys I love your videos and I have been watching your channel for 3 years and I love it 🥰 I hope bamboo gets better
Can you post more hatching videos please 🙏 ❤
He is so adorable. Such a sweet boy. How long do Emu's live?
40+ years 😀
Another wonderful story
Bamboo is so cool! Glad you got him into a space where he's comfortable. I wish him a long and happy life with his girlfriend.
I wonder while doing daily work, you could teach the dog to get accustomed to commands and be ready for herd training
