I really love this owner. She obviously is doing really well and really cares about her bird!
She definitely seems to be one of the brighter ones. She makes mistakes, but with the right guidance (eg right here with BT) it looks like she'll make a success of things with her birds, I agree.
Really brilliant owner who is also capable of self reflection and growth! Sheâs very observant and in tune with her birds. Iâm impressed - even though she was asking for help sheâs trained the bird A LOT and has studied her behaviors and body language like a pro.
Omg that âBIIIG girl!â is SO ADORABLE
Right?! đ
That's so cute sweet and adorable and she says big girl I like the other words she says to I had a cockatiel myself she didn't talk too much
â@@pamelaskwat1312I' m sure she also utrered ' Hi, chubby ' repeatedly
Anyone else not have any interest in owning a bird, but still watch EVER SINGLE VIDEO?
I canât be the only one!
:)
Same here.
Raises both đ
I didnât want birds until I found a little budgie outside. I was hooked.
Iâm too old and lazy to have a bird, so I get to see them on YT, instead!
My parents gave me birds when I was a kid in the 80s, and we all treated them like they were the pet that should be commanded and fear us, as humans treated all animals back then. So glad I have lived through a time when we now all see that if we treat animals like theyâre more of a partner in our lives we can have much more enriching experiences with them, and bring so much more joy into our own lives as well
hmm can I ask what you mean by that/what you did to commander that fear? I have 2 rescues that are a nightmare to try to work with in a lot of ways, due to years of abuse, their former owner loved them very much, just didn't know what he was doing with them & messed them up really badly. He was of that older generation though, so that's probably what he did to them, if I can learn what that involves, maybe that will help me break through to mine. Mine say "I love you" repeatedly anytime they're feeling stressed, which I find incredibly sad, but it would be very consistant with what you are saying there wouldn't it, that he used some sort of force to make them talk & thought he was doing right by them in doing it
@@mehere8038 i would say things like yelling loudly, grabbing animals and aggressively pushing their faces in âbadâ things theyâve done, hitting, locking them away when ânaughtyâ all these things were common ways to raise dogs decades ago. He mightâve withheld food for behaviors tho.
I really love her discussion at the start about her journey from "what I say goes, full stop" to being more mindful of motivation and not being afraid to coax when needed. I am a dog trainer and have to work through that same mental shift with clients ALL the time!
This galah is ADORABLE. OMG.
She is !!! My galah is just like this one !!! Speaks clearly in such a cute voice ! My galah is still a baby; sheâs 9 months old now â€đ
This woman is phenomenal and you can tell she loves her babyâ€â€â€way to go parrot mom
There are several wild galahs that often feed in the grass outside my lounge room. Very cute when they walk fast. I also get lots of lorikeets and a couple of sulphur crested cockatoos and corellas. Very occasionally I see a shy king parrot too. Itâs very entertaining to have lots of native parrots around outside.
Weâre fortunate to be Aussie! The species of birds here are my favourite aspect of our country.
@@alyssabrown9283 yes you Aussieâs are lucky indeed! Iâm in San Francisco, California and the only wild parrots we see are the cherry headed Conures. Thatâs it, Just that one species and theyâre not even native đ From what I understand one or two pet conures escaped years ago and managed to survive and flourish in the city. Now thereâs over 300 that call San Francisco home!
No magpies? I was u der the impression we all had a family of magpies in our yard đ
I'm so jealous of you Australians. Cockatoos are my favorite species and I love watching videos of you guys interacting with the wild cockatoos. I can only image the noise levels though.
We're very fortunate, aren't we?
What a great video. I love how supportive the womans husband is of her. While you can never tell just from a few minutes video it seems like he might not "get" parrots but wants his wife and Quila to be happy so wants to learn and put in the work for them. Also what the woman said about using permission based training with dogs is so true, my whole relationship with my dogs changed so much for the better after I found your channel.
;)
OMG HER VOICE IS THE CUTEST THING I EVER HEARD
Had a consultation yesterday and it was so so helpful. You can't miss having a consultation with Bird tricks
Thank you đ„°
I know I'm learning good stuff watching this channel. I noticed the violation of the birdy bubble before it was brought up. The owner was going "I do this and I do this, and this and this...", showing Dave the hand signals while standing right in the bird's space. The bird was like wtf.
What an adorable bird.
Omg I love the "Hey cutie" her voice is so sweet and cute
Iâm sooo glad the gentleman asked Dave to explain his comments about percentages (80/20, 60/40, etc.) & Daveâs crystal clear response (using target stick for visual clarification as well). Bravo all around. Iâm always learning from you. Simple basic concepts for J & D can become big âahaâ moments for us neophytes! Thx so much! :-)
Omg she has the cuteness voice ever
What a darling bird and so much energy. The lady who owns her is really calm and sweet.
What a beautiful bird
Sheâs so pretty! Love her color.
Jamieleigh, u nailed this one! SERIOUSLY THE CUTEST PARROT VOICE EVER!!
This bird is DELICIOUS!! Lucky bird and ownerđ
Yeah. Glad you guys have so much info about galahs. They are hard work. Love my little boy but yes, he's smart and he's naughty. He does trust me though, he gives great cuddles and I can pick him up and hold him. Never had to teach him to step up. His voice is very different though. He talks a lot but he sounds a lot like me which is a bit creepy đđ mimics my laugh, my cough, the way I actually say things, he puts emphasis in the same places in words and phrases that I do.
This session was delightful. I love it when there's the feeling that the bird is really going to benefit from what its humans are learning. Looking forward to more on this galah if possible and finding out Dave's thoughts on perch height!
I love that Jamie contact calls back to every whoo
What an endearing and relatable couple! Bird was adorable!! Thanks for sharing, so helpful. âșïž
This is going to be so interesting
I'd love to have a bird again and have it interact with a lot of different people. Such a wonderful video.
Oh, my word, this soooo made my day -- she is just TOO CUTE!!!!
If I owned my own house I would get a bird. The first thing I would do is sign up for a programme like yours to teach me how to bird.
I agree she does have a cute voice
Pidgeon lady is gorgeous
I've been watching your channel for a while and I really want to do my best with the kakariki I plan to buy next year! Happy to know english more than ever (I am russian)
I just love to know there is a channel about bird training and bird care that provides free info as well. Yours and other youtubers focused on bird care are awesome, there is so much fake info and myths about bird care.
I absolutely love the masterclass videos!! Please do more of these! They are so entertaining & very educational. Xoxo đ
Yay! Thank you! â€ïž
Love this video. I learn so much and like seeing their progress from start to finish. †What a gorgeous Galah Cockatoo. Thanks again.
Thatâs the cutest thing omg
Would really appreciate a play by play pointing out what the parrot is doing and what that communicates. Like glauhs and when they puff their cheeks around their beaks and their light pink head feathers stay slick.
I wish I had discovered clicker training before I got my Ringneck. When I learned clicker training with my figs, he was old and VERY SET in his ways and wanted no part of it. He was a great talker, but I regret not teaching him tricks. He lived to be 32.
Great video! Enjoyed the in-depth explanation. Well said.
They didn ' t elaborate on her other favourite : " Hi , chubby
Watching more of the vid. I love this woman
GALAH = â€
I enjoy Galah parrots â€
13:20 is SUCH an important lesson! I'm generally drawn to dogs and this translates to my experience training them as well.
Cockatoos are my favorite birds. Theyâre wonderful critters. Her too is adorable.
Love love love this video!
I need to just finish the vid! Lol awwwwww that man was so happy when she took her treat!!! âĄâĄâĄ
Awesomeness!!! What a lovely birdâŁâŁ
amazing advice!!! Thank you
WHAT A CUTIE
Highly instructional video! I love watching your masterclasses; I learn so much from them, even though I have your complete collection already! I am impressed with the range of tricks the owner has taught her galah so far, and how Dave zoned in on one thing she could do better so the bird lives in greater harmony with the rest of the family. Hats off to the husband, as well, for being willing to build a relationship with the bird!
Love these videos đđ
Love your videos
Flamin Galah
lol good one Alf :)
That seesaw scale is super helpful. I am currently trying to have a connection with my dads galah and that scale is going to be super helpful, i believe currently the scale is 90/10 but it used to be 100/0 or possible less.
Tweetheart!
We had a corella that waved with both of her wingâs flapping
you are a saint
Jamie Iâve been try to teach mu Gallah to talk. Nothing, but he loves to dance.
Her chewy story! Hahahha SAME! Im a trainer w a casually trained chewy! Hahahaha i use my happy voice very often w her. Lil dogs dont care! Hahaha after 10 yrs w my Olive girl iv learned permission based training and i love it so much more! Its helped me with body language w dogs and other animals. Amd watching your vids insee how much transfers over to birds AND to confirm that i DO read bird body language correctly âĄâĄ im excited to start fostering
I do the same thing like that lady does
I think my bird might be broken watching all these videos
Beautifully bird, its a boy by the way!
I used to use a clicker to train the children to work in my sweatshops a whip also works because they hear the crack and they know it means work faster
The weird thing is despite no clicker training or any of that I want the best umbrella cockatoos around or parrots in general according to some of the vets I've seen.
Maybe they clickers work if you don't see them much.
But if you're constantly around your bird my friend had the same problem as I do you can't really train them if you're constantly with them like they just will not respond at all to a click
I have a baby Indian ring neck I believe is currently going through the bluffing stage and doesnât really let me get close and will usually fly away instead of stepping up which causes some problems when Iâm trying to get them back in their cage. Iâm trying to spend time with them and have them like me but they just donât seem to want to have anything to do with me.
Have you tried persuading it with treats? Simple step ups (on finger or perch) can be rewarded with their favorite treats.
Wheres part 2 at???
I would never use multiple clicks. The click marks the wanted behavior and has to always be followed by the treat, which is the reinforcement. Thatâs all - do not mess that up. Personally I auit using the clicker, I only click my tongue, works as well and you always have it with you. The only exception is if the animal is long enough away from you so you need the clicker to get a loud enough noise. But many animals do not like the clicker sound, find it scary, then clicking your tongue or e.g. making a «ding» or «ping» sounds is a great alternative. đ€
Are you kidding? This was Iâm Medford??? Iâm in Ashland!!!
That's something I try to stay aware of when stick training. I've trained myself to point the stick down and behind me and if using spray millet I hold it out of site when not offering her treat.
Does age have an effect on the training process?
My bird is like this but is super resistant to recall :(
I need help but im in Australia.
Anyone got ideas how i can get help?
there's a macaw channel that did a video on bird trainers all over the world, had quite a few Aussie ones in it, also includes bird tricks in it & says they do video consults. There's also some vets that have trainers/behaviourists working at their practices too, like the one in Carlingford in NSW
@@mehere8038 hmm. Ill have to look into that more locally. Im in qld :)
@@budgiebreder There was one, maybe 2 on that video in Qld, Qld's a big place though, so not sure how close to you they are, just cause in the same state. One of them only does in person stuff, so you'd have to be pretty close to her for that to work, think there was a second Qld one, but that's the one I remember clearly. She does all size birds & has great big aviaries for training & I think from memory you leave the bird with her & she'll train it, or you can hire her aviary for a certain number of hours to do your own training inside (or presumably a combo would be possible too)
Iâm in Qld too and rescued a Galah that was hit by a car Iâve had her 2 months she had an injured foot and broken wing which is still dropped but she can make short flights around the house she lets me stroke her foot but not much more she was only small when I found her and gaining weight. She makes no effort to fly away at all. I need help too
Amazing video! I was wondering how you socialize a bird to be used to other people when you live alone?
:)
another video channel spoke about how he kept a tin of treats next to the bird cage with a "feed me"sign on it whenever he had friends over & encouraged all his friends to just go up to the bird in it's cage & give it treats, that way the bird would learn to aways look forward to anyone new near him, cause he knew it was likely to mean treats :) He got the bird out of the cage & did more work with it only with the friends he trusted to respect the bird & what he told them t odo/not do with it
I bring my Senegal with me to the drive through or to visit friends but it does take a lot of extra effort and my macaw isnât well socialized because she isnât easy to transport.
These lady likes her clicker sound, to much lol.
What are the good places online to buy a cage at?? That of course has good prices tooo!?
Thanks đ€
Amazon
I find used ones for decent prices on Kijiji!
Petsmart online has good prices. A and E cage company makes good cages for a good price.
What species of parrot are the easiest to train in your experience? And what are the downsides/problems with that species?
The owner is well aware of what she can do with her Galah. Her husband is hesitant by what I saw which makes the Galah hesitant to do what the husband wants the Galah to do. Am l right?
What's the best treat to give an African Grey during training? Unsalted sunflower seeds?? đ€·đŒââïž
birds prefer rewards based on what their diet is. You'll have to lay out treats for the bird and see what it prefers. Also, yes, always unseasoned
oh, and make sure whatever ur feeding it doesnt contain any treats, otherwise it'll view high reward treats as food all the time. which is bad.
okay cool happy parronting
@@ghosttraintittiebeaan4879 I don't wanna give her any nuts, or seeds that are too big during training. Otherwise I'm gonna be afraid of giving her too much and then it being a bad thing!đŹ
@@ibwendybASMR nutriberries? My CAGs love them & they do help with training but I believe african greys are just cheeky chappies & do what they want despite the best treats. Im no expert I just try & go with their energy
@@ibwendybASMR just find what the birds highest reward is, if itâs a nut thatâs too large maybe break the nut into smaller pieces.
Do you have to have a bird to host
You are the only person I know who enunciates galah that way. aussies and everyone else I've heard says it as GAH-lah, with the emphasis on the first syllable.
at least they're calling it a galah, not renaming it cause they can't pronouce the Aboriginal word lol That's my real pet peeve, changing the name, cause they don't like galah or budgie or whatever. Really not their name to change!
Are you referring to calling them a Rose Breasted Cockatoo?
@@mehere8038 most people I know call them rose breasted cockatoos when talking about cockatoos as a group of species, and call them galahs the rest of the time.
In Dutch (my native language) they're called "roze kakatoes" aka pink cockatoos, but most people call their galahs Galah (or something similar) because it's a cute name
@@batfurs3001 yeh, as you say, the Dutch named the whole family of predominately Australian birds, the cockatoos, so when Yuwaalaraay language words have managed to maintain their place in English & global languages, I think it's reasonable that we should respect that & continue using the 60,000+ year old word from the people native to the same place the galah is native to
@@mehere8038 I literally just explained that while rose-breasted/pink cockatoo are the official names in English and Dutch that most people still say galah despite that
Owner: stands next to bird speaking In italian signđđâđđ
Bird: hey I did the thing! Hey, I did the other thing. Hey I did that thing. Whereâs my treat. Wait did you mean this? What about this? What are you trying to tell me!
Me: Oh girl, back it up and stop giving unintentional cues. Youâre gonna get hurt.
Dave: so this is what I call the birdie bubble.
Me: Yas Queen! Preach it!đ
Everyone else: đ
đđđ
WHY DID SHE COME SINCE SHE IS ALSO ATTEMPTING TO TEACH THE CLASS????
AAAaaaaaaawwwwwwwWWWWW
Birdy bubble = attention sphere :)
Im australian. Im sorry but i hate seeing our native birds out of their native country. Makes.me sad.
Most pets other than dogs and cats have origins based in other countries. I would understand this if they were wild caught but captive bred Galahs are easily found.
Captive bred populations in other countries makes for a really good backup population if/when the native population declines in numbers. A lot of Australian birds could benefit from having a captive population since a lot of them are doing so badly in the wild. Not saying every species should be in the pet trade obviously, most of them should be in special facilities/zoos, but having a backup stock of birds kept safe outside of their native range is a really important part of conservation.
đđ
@batfurs3001 Since Australians like to import CATS and other non native predators to their Country
Lol cope
