Wow, since I only socialize in CZcams, I hadn't heard Mia was missing. The crows were very determined to get her out of their territory, but she made it out of there injury free thank goodness. Who needs B footage, the story itself was riveting,lol. Everyone that came together to help really does give one faith, and Mia is now back where she belongs. Baby human is so adorable, she's going to be an early walker I bet. Thanks for sharing, be well!❤️👍
Thank you.
I was so happy last night when you posted that she had been found.
I clicked on this video so fast! I'm not active on the other platforms, so I didn't even know she was missing. But boy am I glad you guys found her! I completely understand mummy human's reaction. The whole ordeal reminded me of when my Umbrella cockatoo flew away. I thought I lost him, was running around like crazy to find him. Turned out he was way up in a tree, yelling the Dutch equivalent of "nighty night". i think he said it to let me know he was up there, because he saw me running around. In the end I had to climb up the tree for about 10 metres and when he saw me coming he climbed down to me. So he never really wanted to fly away and knows who his family is. He just got startled by an unfamiliar object.
I'm so glad that you found her! It's amazing how all those twists and turns happened at the absolute perfect timing to bring all of you back together
Extremely happy and relieved you found Mia and she was not harmed. Even though you remained calm and focused during the search I know deep down you were very concerned about her. OMG, Baby Human is so adorable. My oh my she is growing. And look at that beautiful smile. You have such a lovely little family. Blessing to all of you, humans and birds. ❤🦜👩👶👨🦜❤
Haha yea. Deep down there is always panic.
Super glad you got Mia back! Yay! When you said you logged more steps looking for Mia than walking at Disneyland, I laughed. Really glad Mia is back home!🕊
Love happy endings ❤ Thank you to all Mia searchers.
I was hanging on every word of this! Mia was so relieved to swoop down on Momma Bird! That was heartwarming. I was chuckling every time you said baby human. I'm so glad this had a positive outcome, and that Mia wasn't injured by the crows. Sending warm thoughts your way.
Glad she's okay. Maybe Mikey wouldn't go because he knew about the crows and Mia didn't, this particular time. You all are lucky.🙂 Maybe wait 'til after the crow's nesting season for the next fly about.🙂That baby is so cute!🙂
I’m so glad she was found. I know it must have been devastating. Wonderful news to hear!!
So glad that Mia was found before you went home thinking she'd be roosting. Birds are so smart, and of course she went to her family's car. Keep this in mind if she gets lost again. My granddaughter lives across the country from me but we watch your videos together via tech and she is a bird girl! Your baby human is growing sp quickly! Have a much better time today.
So sooo glad that you found her and that the community did so great in helping you
So wonderful you found her! And nothing wrong with this type of video! It's lovely to see the raw emotions and life in it's truest form. 💜
Omg what a scary situation 😱😢, but I'm so GLAD you guys found her❤ Mia is such a sweetheart. I love her❤
I'M SOOO HAPPY MIA IS HOME SAFE 👏.. THANKS FOR ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO 👍👍👍HOPE YA'LL HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY 🥰🥰🥰🙋♀️
Wow! So glad you got her back! 🐦
Thank goodness you found Mia!!! Gosh I wish I was able to keep calm in situations involving my parrots and it is something I work at, but I cry so easily when I think they are in any kind of danger. I’m so happy your flock is whole again!!!
Thank you for sharing the story . 🫶🏼
Glad you guys got her back safely. I think the experience can give us all a little faith in humanity that so many people wanted to help find her and get the word out! 🦜
It’s cray how well people pull together.
Im glad Mia is back home with you ❤🎉
Superb news. So happy for you and your family, including the birds.
I'm so pleased for your whole family, human and bird.
So happy you guys found Mia…she’s so sweet❤️
Baby human steals the show! Glad mia is safe
I’m so glad you got Mia back🦜💕
So glad you found beautiful Mia!! ❤❤
Thanks everyone for helping Mia get home!! ❤❤❤
Beautiful sharing 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
i live near crows. have seen a whole squadron come out after a hawk, nipping at his tail. hawks get doves but i imagine not crows.
I'm so relieved that you found Mia. It's so funny the difference in personality between the birds.
Crows are very agressive. They chase Chester in gangs. Sometimes 8 vs 1. I’m glad he’s used to them because they’re everywhere here. Anyway I’m so happy you found Mia back 😊🙌🏻
Oh wow, yea some areas they are perfectly fine with the chases. This area not so much.
I am so happy Mia was found safe and sound. It must have been nerve wracking for you both. It's one of the times when Social Media is a good thing. By the way, Baby Human is gorgeous, have fun with the crawling 😁
Thank you. Haha yes, we looked forward to the crawling, not sure how much fun it will be haha
Maybe you should Airtag Mia with a clipped on Airtag when she goes flying. And if you think about birds or females in particular, the reason why Mia is quiet and watchful when she flies off, while Mikey is very loud and boisterous--- for a female to be loud and aggressive when you have a baby isn't conducive to staying alive or protecting your babies, whereas a for a male of almost any animal species, including birds and humans, being loud and aggressive usually works out because they aren't birthing and feeding the 'kids.'
Glad Mia is safe
Happy to hear that you got her back...!
My name is Mia and I am so happy you
I saw in the video that Mia doesn't vocalise when lost: I'm not a trainer, but I try to make things easier by teaching my 2 free flying macaws how to screech loudly when I call their names or whistle loudly. Depending on their character, some birds will reply all the time, other more reserved ones will reply only if they deem it safe or necessary to do so. All of this turns out to be extremely useful when they're lost.
Once they know how to respond, they also enjoy to do the same thing to you: to screech to let you know they come home! Thanks to this I found out that one of my birds flies also in full darkness (my BG) and when sometimes she lands through the window at 10 pm in the summer or even at midnight, she circles the house screeching to announce proudly her arrival. She's not normal, I know! What she does is she enjoys the artificial illumination of a football school field and engages with the children playing there (scaring some of them) until they shut down the lights at around 10-11pm. Then she flies home, which is up the hill, 1km away. It's a suburban area, so there must be enough light for her to see something. The other bird (GW) would NEVER to something like that! I'm trying to avoid all this by showing up at the football camp at sunset. Problem is that now she waits for me on the floor of the parking lot, as if I were her driver! It's dangerous because a distracted car could easily run her over whilst manoeuvring! Every day a new problem lol!
To teach them how to screech at command (or sort of) is quite easy: it's ideal to do it when they're chicks, but also as adults it works: every time you feed them, or when you come back home, or before you open their cages to set them free, you call their names and/or whistle loudly. At that point they associate the loud sound of their name, or loud whistling, with something exciting that involves your presence, so they screech back at you. Of course giving them a treat when they screech back works as a good reinforcement (but I have never done it lol).
After a while they kind of stop replying to you when at home because they're too smart to scream loudly when you're right there, but in the open they sure will!
I found out that neither of mine will reply if they're within 50m distance from me, because they assume I know where they are, so it can be frustrating some times, because you think they're lost, but they're right there, watching you, like Mia did with you.
I'm able to whistle super-loudly and they have very fine ears so they can hear me from quite a distance and they reply so loudly that a human as well can hear them from far away. It's better than a GPS!
They never reply when in the dark and they don't reply if they want to stay longer in the current location and they're safe (or terrorised, sometimes), or decided to spend the night outside home. But rest assured: if they're lost, they will instantly screech as loud as possible, when they hear you!
That must have been so very traumatic for all of you 😢 but thank goodness she was found ❤❤
When you have birds or a bird for years they become family so I / we understand
what about telemetry instead of GPS? it lets you detect in 3D, and not just in 2 D, so you can know where to check (high up into the threes, low into the bush or ground and so on). BirdTricks compare both technologies and shiw how telemetry is way better and last longer too.
We have a Marshall gps but in this particular location because it’s so high and built up it wouldn’t have worked. Have tested it there.
I just love Mia and Mikey. On the other hand, I have. 2 parrots one of them is my best friend. He is always with me. His name is Spidey. He is a green cheek. Conure he sleeps in the medicine cabinet.. watching your parrots basically free fly doesn’t that make you nervous that someday they might not fly back to you😢😢😢 that would be totally devastating just because they are trained very well. I would never never do that.
Months of training goes into this and they have no reason to just leave. Situations like these chases are very rare.
Mia knew it was not her family's car. But she realized her humans would have a propensity to look at any car that strongly resembles the family's car.She has been with her humans when at times they have mistakenly approached a car that looked very much like the family's car, thinking it was the family's car, but it turned out not. She is very cognizant of her humans' thinking patterns,!
Happy to hear that Mia was found, I am curious tho, would an Apple AirTag work better compared to a GPS device? I would assume it would be annoying to fly with an AirTag 🤷♂
The bird gps’s work great but not so well in very built up areas like where we were flying.
Maybe while in London she was flying around trying to locate a veterinarian to ask about genetic cloning. The years have not added much to Mikey's gained life experience "wisdom," so genetic cloning might be an option to seriously consider.
So glad you found her...in our language we say"gecmis olsun "
Baby human loves the birds!
She really does haha
@@MikeyTheMacaw I am so glad you guys did find Mia though. Crows can be very aggressive even here in the states.
Is there anything that you can get like a tracker that you can attach to birds legs that only connect to your phone ???
Yea they have gps’s but they don’t work well in locations like where we were flying as they are too built up.
I know that one guy who has his crown fly out freely made him gps tracker just in case. It helped him once.
Have you ever considered a small tracking collar just for when flying.
The bird gps’s work great but not so well in very built up areas like where we were flying.
I've heard you can take their mate out because often times they will call for each other to find their way back... at 9 pm it might be a different story though...
Yea, we tried with Mikey but he’s hopeless lol
Can they wear a gps band when flying?
Yea but they never work well in built up areas.
I have got two Amazon parrots
Not tryna be rude and I’m really happy you found Mia ❤ but why do you say baby human?
The same reason we say daddy human and mummy human. It started 8 years ago and now it’s kinda fun
Kad smo kupili aru nije znao ni letjeti kako treba,bio je beba od 10 mjeseci,nije ni znao ni letjeti kako treba.Godinu dana je napunio na brodu ali kad je poletio to je bio teatar;pravo na brodski dimnjak dok je brod bio u plovidbi.Jedva smo ga nekako poslasticama namamili da siđe.Ja sam sama bila dijete od 8 godina i jako sam tada plakala;jedva su me smirili,poslije toga bez uzice u šetnju ni pod razno .
To je bilo na pola na Sredozemnom moru između Grčke i Italije,da je tada odletio van brodske palube više ga ne bi vidjeli;bar ga više ne bi vidjeli živog.
baby no blue eyes what a waste
Yes, a waste…
Are they microchipped?..
Yup
if you lose a bird maybe you shouldnt own one
No one should own birds. They were never meant to be pets
Maybe you should invest into GPS trackers.
maybe you should mind your own business, putting trackers on the birds is extremely stressful for the bird!
Wouldn’t have worked there
@@Gunships. First. GPS and telemetry trackers for parrots are made to not interfere in flight and to not be harmfull for them. On the other hand, for new free flighters it will take a huge stress off of their chest if parrot fly off. BirdTricks support it a lot. Second. Mikey and Mia guys did put GPS on Mikey and made a story about it. I understand that not every bird will accept the technology but stop shitting on it like it was a torture device.
I don’t think you can get a bird gps tracker. With a cellular connection.
@@Gunships.That's a bit harsh, it's an innocent suggestion from some one who cares.
