The unexpected birdie behaviour adds greatly to your videos & the way you react to them. Emerald is quite a character :)
You're not kidding, she is such a character! I like for them to be themselves, it makes for more interesting interactions for me :)
Thank you your videos are great and so informative
Oh, I appreciate you posting and saying so! You are so welcome!
Ahh..beautiful
Lovely
Thanks!
Hi Kaylin and Emerald,
Love your videos, you guys have convinced us to add a Hahns Macaw to our flock, he arrives next Tuesday, can’t wait....
Congratulations! I can't wait to hear about him and how he does, make sure to let me know.
Glad to inform you we picked up our Hahn’s boy last night, he’s 7 months old and is absolutely adorable, he says “hello” and “watcha doing”, the tone of his voice is so cute, very clear pronunciation too. We haven’t named him yet, we have a shortlist but we’re waiting to see which name fits his personality best before we make the decision.
He wants to be buddies with our Sun conure but conure doesn’t want anything to do with him yet but given time I’m sure they’ll be good friends.
I sat down and made him some toys this morning and he had fun helping me out, he played with them for a good hour when I hung them up in his
cage. He also enjoys chewing holes in my shirt...🙁🙂
Such a cute little guy and seems to have a lovely nature.
When you say he arrives, does that mean you ordered him somewhere? Just curious.
I have a male Hahn's macaw and have/had 1 male and 1 female Quaker and 1 male Senegal. A Hahn's bite is not as bad as a Senegal's bite and is less of a biter than the Quaker and Senegal. He's a snuggler, gets a long with the female quaker, he's not super hyper, has a tell when he is about to poop and he actually hops off of my shoulder to poop, then gets back on.
The cons would be that he does fight with the male quaker (usually the instigator), yells at guest, chews on things he is not suppose to, in my experience he is not much of a talker (not important to me). He also resist bed time (which is kinda cute).
You have an amazing sounding flock!
I love Ha
Sorry, cat visit! I love Hahn’s macaws. One of my Caiques gets crazy loud. She gets loud when she wants attention and when she first comes to me. It also includes a lot of beak rubs and clothes surfing. She out of all of my birds is very bonded to me. Do you find Emerald to be especially clingy? I’ve read they can be. If I had the space I would definitely seriously consider adding one or two to my flock.❤️
Thank you so much for your videos! I currently have a green cheek conure and I’m looking into a hahns macaw to add to our flock! I’ve been stuck between a caique, a hahns, or an Indian ringneck. Very different parrots to compare on what to get, but I’m looking into all three and a hahns so far suits me.
Very different species!
I think this might be my next parrot to get.
You’ll love him or her!
It was hard to hear you in some bits with the birds in the back ground, it’s like that all the time at my house aha!
Great video though!!!
You have several parrots too, Aaron! Sorry it was a bit loud - and thanks for the feedback. What kind of parrots do you have?
Thank you again for the great video . I was jyst wondering how loud are they? You have mentioned in the morning. Is thats all?
Not bad, for a parrot. If your Hahn’s is happy, probably not too loud; unhappy, lonely or scared parrots can be terribly squawky.
Drago my Hans macaw is loud but so am I. My baby bites but he never draws blood, Thank god a have tough hide. You are so correct Drago is my best friend and child ,He is so smart. I live alone and am single He loves me dearly and don't like others. Thank you for sharing your baby online. I so love my Drago.
Thank you for posting - since I only have 1 Hahn’s, it’s helpful to hear what others experience with theirs. Drago - love his name! Yes, they can really make phenomenal companions!
I have a green cheek conure & would like to get another type. What would be a good match?
Any pyrrhura conure - My Dusky-headed is loving her Green-cheeked flock.
I'm curious, is the Hahn's macaw the same parrot as Ara Severa? I'm interested in getting one, the seller says she's an Arad Severa. It would be my first parrot - the only experience I have with birds is related to rescuing and raising baby crows - whicj take off when they are grown and ready to leave. Im currently doing the research and I am a bit scared because I really don't wanna do wrong by the bird
Two different Macaws- Severe Macaws are a bit larger-
Do you have a quaker parrot? I hear It in the background like in 10:36 but i've never seen one in your videos. Also, really enjoy your Hahns Macaw's ones :) (Enjoy all of them in general lol)
Thanks for posting to me, Bernardo. I’ve had a Quaker, but not for some time. I’m guessing you are hearing the Caiques- Emerald thanks you, she loves being appreciated! She’s a ham! Thank you for watching, I appreciate you!
It's my pleasure to post a comment, even more when It gets an answer :) Thanks for the response, I was guessing It could be the preach fronted conure, I find their sounds similar to quaker's. It is posible also to be from a specie I don't know, since you have a lot of species haha. Congrats for taking a good care of them!
I have a black headed Caique and we’re really wanting a second bird but I’m so stuck on what to get!
What species of birds are you considering?
@@ParrotBliss I am not sure, I am hoping for my second bird to not be as expensive as my first, and I have been looking at green cheek conures, lorikeets and quakers, then on the more expensive side I have been thinking of senegals or another caique.... I thought I would mention too that my caique grew up with a cockatiel for the first year of her life and she was great with him. she has also had play dates with conures, other cockatiels, kakarikis and even a cockatoo. She is great with other birds, but I still want to think my choice through properly since my home is so small and they will be spending a all outside of cage time together and as birds mature i know accidents can happen...
@@xgothxbunnyx Hello! i know you probably got your lovely parrot/parakeet now but i would not suggest getting a quaker, i have a disabled quaker girl shes absolutely amazing but does not get along with any of my other birds, their cage aggressive and has attacked my cockatiel when he landed on her cage, she bit his foot and it looked like a whole murder scene, my friend with a quaker has experienced the same of course all birds are different but always be aware of what others have said :)
How much difference is there in personality, other than size between a crimson bellied Conure and a Hans? Also the same with a golden Conure and crimson bellied Conure? My crimson is stuck to me and is quite a character, with lots of vocal games that we play and so on, so i was wondering how my personality comes out in these bigger birds? Love your videos by the way 🙏🏾😊
Thank you for the compliment and thank you for watching!!!
I'll put this on the list of videos I'm working on - Yes, Crimsons are sweet little things, aren't they?
we also have a hahn's macaw and she is almost the same as Emerald, she screams A LOT, most of the time its just unstoppable. and the other thing (probably the worse one) is that when she bites, she bites kind of deep and most of the time you start bleeding a little. do you have any suggestions on how to stop this?
How long have you had her? How old is she? Do you have any other parrots? Emerald calmed down in our house quite a bit, mostly because we have other birds so she felt safe. Her calls got better too- Is your Hahn's the only bird you have?
@@ParrotBliss we have her for like 3-4 years, her age is the same and yes, she's the only one we have.
Do you recommend taking parrots who are healthy to the vet for check ups? Asking because it seems like the avian vets are guessing and charge up a huge bill. It seems to cause more harm by stressing the parrot . But curious to your opinion
Great question! I will try to make a video-
Are you outside in this video or is there glass or screen behind you I so desperately want to screen my porch in or get a Florida sun room im from the north east Pennsylvania
Yes, I'm out front in the screen in the night. It's so fabulous with parrots! If they get out of their cage, they're still screamed in. I would get a sunroom too, if I were you 😊🦜
@@ParrotBliss but your screened in? Your bird couldn't just fly away in other words? I have a harness for mine I'm starting to train her to wear to go outside without a cage I have big cage for inside a smaller one I sit outside with her the harness then I wouldn't have to worry with a cage an she could sit on me
I've recently started giving CBD to my cockatiel to help him stop plucking, it seems to calm him down a lot.
We've solved the underlying liver issue (he was selectively eating only fatty stuff, i should've noticed earlier yes.) but he just doesn't wanna stop..
Seems like it works but it'll take forever to fully solve i guess.
Don't give up, Alex. My Yellow-naped Amazon went through this and she's better. It does take time and a lot of vegetable ignoring! I was fortunate because my Amazon ate pellets -- so just be patient. Yes, CBD, especially if it is in something like hemp oil, is greatly beneficial. LMK how it goes with your Cockatiel.
@@ParrotBliss hey there! Thanks for the reply :)
Thankfully my tiels did accept pellets with no issues. I managed to get his liver parameters (most importantly AST) from double the norm back down to a completely normal area.
Since he never showed signs of being ill aside from the plucking, I still got high hopes he'll make a full recovery..
It just doesn't help when you go see a vet and end up having to order tests and diagnose yourself.. (only avian vet in the area sadly.)
Sorry I'm venting here, im just very worried about my lil baby. :/
@@n3k0lein I missed your post, just saw it! I understand, Lorenza (Yellow-napes Amazon) was the same. I’m getting ready to make a video along these lines. How is your Tiel now? Congratulations on getting his levels back to normal- huzzah 🎉
I dont think shes that loud ❤
Some days she’s not so bad. Other days…. Maybe the worst is when she’s right on your shoulder and at the right angle to squawk in your ear! Lol! Still, she’s the best!
Do you think she's as loud as a sun or jenday conure?
Hard to say, Nick, because I don’t have experience with a Sun or Jenday…
@@ParrotBliss yh the jendays have a very ear piercing high pitch to their call when they hear me come in or when I walk in the room and they are excited to see me shakira is slightly older and she can do different noises so it's not so bad but baby only knows screams and I think he's trying to learn to say yeah cos I always say yeah baby when I give him a treat hopefully he'll pick more sounds up lol
How many birds do you have? I am just curious...
Over 20 species
@@ParrotBliss Thats Amazing!!!!
We are considering a Hahns but have tried to do a lot of research and ask a lot of questions. We were told they can be very nippy. Do you agree? We are also considering a caique. Thoughts on a caique? We currently have a conure. The kids are excellent with him.
What kind of Conure do you have? Only 1?
Do male hahns macaws speak better then female macaws….?
I don’t know! Wish I did- Emerald is a fair talker so a male would be just as good or better.
