The lady saying not to take bites personally- that's the BEST advice for bird owners. I'm so used to dogs and their unconditional love and cuddles that when I owned birds I took bites so personally. I felt like I was doing something wrong or that they hated me. The truth is, they are wild animals. They are not dogs. They're wired differently. Your bird can love you so much and want cuddles all the time, but that won't stop them when they are hormonal, scared, or just in a bad mood, from biting the fire out of you lol
Also, dogs are the same lol. Wanted to note that, as well. Every dog has the potential to bite and growl when they're having an off day or feeling bad. Animals do not comprehend emotions the same way we do. They have instincts that drive them more than their emotions. So important to know with ANY pet.
@@josiesullivan6204 I dare say even people are like that. Even the person who loves you most is gonna snap at you once in a while. It's just that a bird or dog has no other way than to bite
I appreciate how you compared their nature to dogs. I always try to tell myself dogs have been with us for at least over 30,000 freaking years. Parrots have been with us for a mere few generations which is insane compared to how long dogs have graced us with their company. What I’ve learned is we humans have so much more to learn about parrot behavior and how to interact and provide for them in a healthy way. It’s gonna take generations at least. But it’s people like you who care that make all the difference.
@@Doggiebirblady Dude that is some nonsense. Birdsa have been alongside humans for ages. You think ancient people didn't have birds? ""a few generations" lmao
@@paloma4444 @brynn actually has a point dogs were breed to be alongside humans like they were Meticulously chosen so that they can be humans best friend. I understand what your saying but birds have only come into the pet trade about 40-60 years ago so we still have so much to learn about birds as pets then we do dogs as pets.
Aww be nice! 😂 “but she doesn’t like you”. I have an irrational fear of my scale, too.😂
Doing my daily birdtricks viewing.
Love it!
You guys rock !
Galah have so strong personality, dignity and attitude . My Coco never been trained but he knows and learn everything. They love us humans. He knows all my friends as soon as they park their cars on the driveway. He is demanding love and attention. DEMANDING. BTW, I love your videos, I love the little spoiled girl, the owners (parents) ,you good soul people. Do I make sense? 😁 and, we love Coco from 1 to 10........I would say.... Trillion. More trillions, hmmm infinite times. More infinites,,,pls stop me.
I’m a horse trainer and I find this so interesting. Horses are very much the same in the concept of training them not to fear things. I had a client who told me her horse was afraid of the color purple because of a purple saddle of that scared the horse. So she would show up with purple things, one thing specifically was a purple umbrella. And she sat there and opened it up next to the horse. But the timing was all off. She ended up scaring the horse more. When I got the horse in training, I desensitized her to the purple pad and umbrella. But the problem wasnt that the items were purple. It was the technique or lack of technique that was implied when using the items. And the technique that was continued to be used everytime the items were brought near the horse. Often people tip toe around horses with items that the horse is scared of but what you’re really doing when you tip toe around is showing them a reason to be scared of the item with your body language and energy.
I love Galahs so much, they're so freaking cute. I could not get enough of her vocalisations haha.
I feel like they're really quite expressive with their feathers too, or maybe that's just because I've been around them longer than any other type of bird so I understand them better haha.
But like, their crests. Omg. They're just.. I love them LOL
Anyways, thanks for the great video(s)! Always a treat!
Such great information. Super smart bird. Perhaps, telling someone they are a bird brain isn't so bad after all. Heehee 😂
Makes me so proud of my local area to see this. So many good people in southern Oregon!
Again this galah is the absolute cutest 😍
Great bit on clarifying cuddles is a trick,. Love that these people are preparing this Galah for success when she moves to a new home. When Bubba wants to express friendship he stretches his neck, puffs his cheeks and requests a chin rub, I don’t know that it is unique to him, buts it’s adorable when he greets someone this way. More info on Galahs. I’m so glad I fell for Bandit and that Bubba is my companion.
Moves to a new home? Who said she is moving anywhere? They are precisely trying to bond with her.
@@paloma4444 she’s not moving to a new home anytime soon ! But when her owner passes or can no longer care for her galah she’ll need to move onto a new home ! That’s responsible parrot owners as our parrots will most likely outlive us ! We need to think about where or with whom our beloved parrots will live with once we are gone.
@@J_loves_lu lmao. Your parrot is not likely yo outlive you unless you are 50-60 plus
@@paloma4444 I’ll be 50 in 4 months 😂 I’m 49 & I’ve had my African grey parrot for over 24 yrs ! So yeah my parrots will def outlive me !!
@@paloma4444 and I’m about to bring home a 5 month old galah ! 😂
I've never been this early to a video before! This galah is the cutest!!
Love Galahs, so intelligent & noisey, from Australia ! We have them in my back yard, eating left-over
seed from my aviaries.
Love your work guys ❤
With proper training Quila will be a great bird. My husband and I took a badly mistreated cockatiel. Her name was KiKi. Took a year and a half to get her used to us and know that she was not going to be mistreated. KiKi turned out to be the sweetest cockatiel ever. I trained her and then taught my husband. She has passed on three years ago. I love watching all the bird videos you both have.
This lady is prob one of you guy's best students lol
Super educational training video.
Love it
i think my best thing for my bird is that he will accept handfeeding from anyone, has made so many of my friends way more comfortable with birds and doesnt stress him out.
I wish I could get my galah like this. She just bites us almost like she wants us to stroke her on the head she does that movement, then will bite our hands. It's not like a bite that she is going to nail us but it's a light bite but enough for you to go ow
my tip on this, video it. There's been a number of these sorts of things that I couldn't figure out with mine, but videoing & then watching it back in full, knowing in advance what's about to happen, the body language really jumps out at me & is SO obvious, even though I saw no hint of it in the real time scenario. Once I've seen it in the video, I can see it much better in real time & with practice, early enough to avoid the behaviour
One thing i learned of bird trick videos is that headdown can also mean no i dont want to do the thing you ask me to do
Film your self with your bird watch it back see what actually happened
Bird tricks actually has a video on this topic it’s called Bean Bites me on Camera

Guys I just had a HUGE moment just now.
It's about what's reinforcing and what's punishing to the bird, not just about what's reinforcing.
I'm a dog trainer. I like to counter-condition things that make dogs uncomfortable. But I was forgetting with my budgie that some things are just punishing to them. I was forgetting the entire other half of the quadrant. 🤦♀️
🙌🥰
You need take time to train
Plus make sure they get at least 12 hours sleep time without any sounds or bright lights . Second is the diet too. Then the training too .
You never addressed why the perch was too high. Is there a specific reason why it is too high?
yeh, this is what I want to know too! Especially cause personally I'm in a wheelchair, so I think that possibly my low perches may be an issue, due to height relating to my head/body, but really not sure without them addressing it, hope they can answer why it was an issue/not ideal
👍👍👍👍😊👌💕
ok, so what's the problem with the high perch? I'm in a wheelchair, so wondering what the issue is & how it would relate to me, my perches are lower, BUT they're higher in relation to my height, so was the issue with the high perch height off the ground? Or was it relating to how close the bird is to face level? & why is a high perch a problem? I really want to know this now, cause I think I might be doing something wrong on this, but really not sure
I should add the video of her now and how she is with Craig. I have to say Craig finally got it, not Quila. lol
Many thanks for an exellent channel! I tell everyone about it. I have a wish for a video if that is OK? In these times where everyone is told to prepare for hard times, natural disasters , fires, lack of food etc. I believe we all need a parrots prepardness video. I mean a really loong video where you intervieuv veterinarians about how to protect your parrot from smoke ( I heard there are companies making breathing masks for babies) , how to feed your parrot veggies during emercency like can they eat canned food? Ryggsacks for carrying your parrot with you if you have to leave your home, foldable cages, living in a car with a parrot or several, what heath sources are ok to use during emergency and how to train our parrots for fire drills, evacuations. We have two grey, a goffin and a duck. We keep our travelcages next to their big walk in cage in case of fire. Is it ok to cover a large walk in cage with thick plastic in case of wildfire to protect from smoke? What medications are good to have on hand? When prepardness videos or preppers talk about prepping for animals its always about dogs or cats. I believe it is really needed for parrots to and no one can do it better than you. Please show products that are a good purchase in such a video in different price categorys because I really feel that we are many who really want to prepare in case of power outages or other events. Maybe you could also contact parrot food suppliers and ask how long their food is really safe to use? How to prolong their use? I know this is much to ask but you are the best parrot channel. 😊
did you see that bird tricks now sells a freeze dried veggie mix? That would be the easiest option for an evacuation pack/prepping, but a couple of packets of that, use one to get your parrot used to the food, then keep the other one sealed & in your evacuation pack, that way fresh veggies/no diet change & no difficulty carrying the food (the freeze dried stuff lasts 20 years when sealed)
hi there i have a budgie for 3 months en she/he is stil not tame, i practise witch sead, but he/she is scared of the long stick, what should i do?
I’ve had my budgie for 8 yrs and she is still not tame despite all efforts.
my cockatiel isnt food motivated at all :( and he is not into toys so how do i train him ?
Does he like attention? Praise? A certain petting like head scritches? My Eclectus is the same, but he gets a lot just from praise and seeing that he has pleased me.
Completely unrelated, but, how is Sonny?
I still after 4 years of watching you guys don’t understand how the birds just sit there on the perch and not move off it. My galah would be exploring the place or going for higher points. He never stations and stays
My thought is why is the bird sleeping? Is it getting enough sleep?
Galah are Australian birds. They always sleep in the hot middle of the day and are most active in the morning and afternoon.
@@judithweymark8643 Sure it was on it's fave perch too but it was in a strange environment. I would have expected some anxiety.
@@judithweymark8643 thanks :) my lorikeets have a down period in the early afternoon each day, then perk right up again (actually they're time shifted to match my routine, but what would otherwise be early afternoon without that). I have quite a few issues with a neighbour & noise, was wondering if he'd been doing something to disturb their sleep & they weren't getting enough, but also thinking it seemed like it might be a midday sleep thing, so thanks for confirming this is normal for Aussie birds, that is really helpful to me!
Can I ask though, do they actually sleep in the wild? I've heard that wild birds do NOT sleep during the day, as they need to be awake & alert for predators. Mine tend to not actually sleep, just look like they're going to fall off their perch from overtireness & trying to sleep, but won't actually sleep, as they get more relaxed with me, they're starting to slightly doze, not sure if to expect that will continue & they will end up actually sleeping, or if they will always just have a wind down/do nothing rest period at that time of day to recharge. I doubt they slept in their old home when it was light, wasn't the best home for them
Also, anytime I get up to go to the toilet during the night nowadays & have to go through the room my birds are in, I get bell ringing tantrums, so I'm thinking of getting them a white noise machine with rain sounds or similar, not sure if that would help them relax or keep them stimulated though, do you have any idea?
@@mehere8038 I don't know if a white noise machine will help. Being prey animals, parrots are always vigilant. Maybe try a white noise you tube clip before investing money??
Re daytime sleeps. I read somewhere that parrots can sleep with one hemisphere of their brain at a time and so can keep on the lookout for predators even while napping. The wild lorikeets in my yard aren't close enough for me to see if they are fully asleep or just chilling, but they definitely get very quiet in the middle of the day and you seldom see them flying then.
I have a little green cheek who always goes to sleep in my hand at night in front of the TV. And I mean flat on her belly, wings drooping both eyes shut fast asleep. I think it must be so nice for her to be completely relaxed and feel safe. I get so much joy from that.
I'm so glad your lorikeets now have found a safe home where they can truly relax and feel safe too.
Hey Womacks!
So, my son & I love watching your channel.
Unfortunately, it made more sense for our first pet to be a cat, so we got a kitten in September shortly after becoming first time home owners. Lately, she has become a handful with her clawing us in these formative months. And, no, we will absolutely NOT get her declawed. I will be trying all your bird training techniques to hopefully squash some of her overly feisty idiosyncrasies, in the meantime, though, do you have any professional peers that specialize in felines? Like maybe with a CZcams channel we could subscribe to? We have her on Blue Buffalo kitten pâté & kitten kibble, but she definitely earned the nickname Lady Deathstrike after her first flea bath, lol, because I also refuse to give her regular ingestable pharmaceuticals & those toxic flea collars that they can get in their mouths.
A lot of the techniques that BirdTricks use, that people use for parrots- force free training, positive reinforcement based training- those techniques can work _so well_ with domestic animals like cats and dogs. They have so many behavioral parallels, but they're way easier to read. XD I hope that things are going well for you guys!
From my experience owning cats all my life--a scratch or a bite means stop. Stop petting. Stop giving attention. Even if she's just playing, when she scratches, say "ow!" (not yelling, but firm voice), and remove your body from the situation. If it's a playing situation, immediately grab a toy after the "ow!" and start playing with that.
Claws are for toys, not for people.
If she bites or claws you when you're petting her, that's her telling you that she's had enough. Listen to that. Respect her space.
Your baby is a year old now and I hope you’re all doing wonderfully! If you or anyone else is looking for a recommendation for cat guidance, Kitten Lady is a great one.
I wonder if she’s afraid of the men because of the hats…
