Impressed and proud of every owner who allows these videos that show their initial mistakes. A big thank you to all of 'em! Your bravery is appreciated! I learn so much from these
So true! The owners really have to be humble and I always think… yikes they’re toes r being stepped on haha. But it’s really great they allow the guidance for others to learn from it 👍🏼
Skittles dancing after the Ritz was everything 😂 so beautiful
Everything’s better when it sits on a Ritz!
He is "dancing" because he cant fly and he want to go somewhere but he can't
@@stefandomovski bro was dancing because he got a ritz.
I love that this couple is learning. So many people give up when things don’t turn out as they expected.
My quaker often goes to my shoulder, but usually because they want to "preen" my facial hair. She's totally chill with staying on my hand too though.
Shoulder time is not completely off limits when a bird comes down when asked and bites are not occurring. Just watch for any shift in this dynamic especially during hormone season.
Everyone I know in NH has a dog! Typically a black lab! Many thanks to Skittles’s hoomans for allowing filming. Skittles is a lovely birb. I do fear macaw bites the most.
I just had the shock of my life . I am getting a baby Caique from a bird shop. I asked what food they will be weaned onto and the bird shop owner told me that my Caique can eat everything we do, her African Grey was going to be eating shrimp lol mein that day. 😮 I don't know how a woman that has kept birds as long as she has, hasn't learned better.
OMG 😯. Maybe in a polite way recommend bird tricks. Like "hey you should check out bird tricks, they are super entertaining!' just something and Maybe she'll she the diet stuff ..
Humans shouldn’t even be eating everything we do! There is a reason there is an obesity epidemic. I don’t understand how anyone can think that a typical human diet is healthy enough for a pet to consume. Little things here and there on rare special occasions aren’t necessarily horrible, but to have your exact diet as a pet’s (especially a bird’s) main diet is highly concerning and even arguably neglectful. It takes very little research to recognize that different species have different specific dietary needs individual to them. That poor African Grey. Please recommend Bird Tricks to the owner, especially their diet information. It’s not just her own bird she is failing, but also the birds of people who are purchasing birds from her that she is likely telling the same thing.
Aww what a lovely couple. Thanks for sharing your story and getting Jamie and Dave in to improve your bird's life which will definitely improve your life too🎉
Intense? ^^ I just see two very motivated and dedicated people, who are very serious about the right treatment and feeding.
The patience you guys have… ❤
Love to see the takeaways at the end! Great video and Skittles is absolutely beautiful! What a lovely boy.
That was excellent. The take away for me 'I've been trained' I am spending 2-3hrs everyday trying to train my new rescue galah, but starting to think he's training me. Love him, but it is hard work, harder than a pup. Thanks very much for sharing.
As a dutch professional dog trainer i love the fact how you are focussing on 'permission based training'. This is my focus with training dogs as well. I know yhis is not the norm in america yet, but i would love to see this crossover to more pet-owner-interactions. I learn a lot from the way you are coaching your clients. Thanks a lot and keep going!
Great training session for both bird & owners.
Love from western Australia ❤ thank you for helping me with the best advice I could need for my eclectus parrot !
Thank you all guys! You are amazing ❤
This couple is awesome for allowing us to see their training session and discuss their mistakes and what they learned. I’m learning from this as well!
I love the humility, I love the way you guys are helping people ....but I love love when you can see that people just want the best for these beautiful creatures who are so emotionally intelligent. Good on you guys for reaching out !! It makes me so happy to see videos like this one ...and gives me hope with my birds who I love more than anything on this planet !!
Hi Blueberry! Nice of you to make a cameo in Skittles video.
It's all about the Ritz!
I really hope to see the Master Class !
they have the same A&E cage i use for my umbrella cockatoo. it’s massive, sturdy, aesthetically pleasing, and just awesome. love that cage.
My little African Grey girl only goes on my shoulder when I put her there, thankfully. And she never bites…except for when I used to work away from home and I’d tell her I was going to work. So now I work from home. 😊
Awesome video! Beautiful bird. Every time the video cut and there was that “beep” was kinda jarring as a viewer. Maybe you could eliminate this sound or use a different sound to make it less abrasive :) thank you so much for the bird tips and seeing how they work with the birds ❤
Yeah or maybe lower the beep sound.
I love the beep tho honestly 😂
Me: Get your freaking face away from the bird bro.
Like I'm yelling at a horror movie.
I rescued a baby bird 1m
ago, and I have to say, if
you FOLLOW instructions,
you 'will' get results. My
baby bird can target, eats
Jamie's homemade seed
mix, AND pellets! It took
a few seconds! I thought
it was suppose to take a
few months! Jamie, ask
Rhonda to show you the
video I took. I don't have
IG. I sent it via email. I
can't WAIT to start your
SFS tomorrow! 😊✌️💚
P.S. I rescued a purple
lacewing parakeet. It's
4mo now. You're SOO
right about them being
HAND shy! 😱🤚🐦💚
Nice job guys.
You guys are the best ! ❤️💯
Welcome to NH. Great turn around👍👍
What a great session. I took a lot of good information of this short little video that I’m doing wrong as well. Thank you for sharing. Hard not to want to push your bird. Didn’t realize I was doing that until I had watched your video as well. Yep I’m guilty not always, but sometimes lol
Love the name Skittles for a macaw! Except in the case, the rainbow 🌈 is tasting you...
Skittles, its ok we all like a Ritz cracker next time ask for cheese😉 Seriously we all have to learn and start somewhere.
Nice video
@Birdtricks I love and follow you very much. Please add Turkish translation to your videos from Istanbul Turkey, so that followers like me who don't speak a foreign language will understand a lot😊
How dare you wish me a good morning! .. I mean, thanks! Hope your going well too! lol
Why not raise the T Stand?
With any Animal I find you need to work, with and around when the Animal is ready. If you pus you don't get great resust. It is all about setting good practices, on a regular baises, and being willing to let the animal build trust while learning to read your animal.
Yep you guys are intense! But I watch every video
This was good, I can relate with my Macaw, I use Almond, Pine Nuts, Jatz Biscuit
Great advice as always guys 😀
My parakeet seems to be having trouble walking sometimes. He’s fine on the perch. Seems to get worse after molting. Any vitamins you’d recommend or home “remedies”?
I would recommend a visit with an avian veterinarian.
Thank you for sharing
That was great! My cockatiel is always going to my shoulder and once he’s there it’s like he’s glued to it. Won’t step off unless he really wants to. He even purposefully flies to my shoulders when he sees me getting ready to leave the house and fights getting off to keep me from leaving lol. I’ve started putting him in the cage before getting ready to avoid that, but he’s already figuring out that going in the cage means I’m leaving 😮💨
Same with my Cockatiel and he never wants to get inside the cage during sleep times 😬🥲
My conures is strange second you walk in the room he'll come straight to you and refuse to move no matter what but then bite if you try get him off he'll just go to another part of my body and literally won't move full stop
Can you show rainbow birds thanks 😊
I have a Blue and gold macaw thats 9 months now. I simpley helpt him by holding his toes gently once he has stept up to my hand. It stopped his desire to go to my shoulder. We live in Sweden where its quite cold until May, so we have only been out for walks the last two months, but he loves to lissen to other wild birds in the forest. Our goal is to free fly. May be even this summer. Du you have any GPS products for birds you recomend?
Today we fly indoors. He alwas fly to me even if I am on the 2nd flor and Max is out of sight on the 1st floor. Next step Will be to teach him to decend from2nd to first floor. I have read that decending is hard for them?
They have a video on gps ill see if i can find it.
It deleted it because of the links in it
If you search Birdtricks GPS 3 videos should show up. If you want to freefly truely, i recommend Mikey the Macaw. Plus, avoid shops and breeder advice.
Where is the premade seasonal feeding? It's always sold out on your website-- were you just using the image to illustrate?
If i dont let my conure to my shoulder i get biten really hard on the fingers,we got her 7 days ago
Reason why I will never get a macaw. I had an agp before that bit my finger so hard that it cracked my nail. Just imagine the power of a macaw's bite.
What is a seasonal feeding?
I've been doing the arm position thing on purpose since it just was logical to me.
But the explanation of how a parrot perceives it? It didn't even cross my mind until now. The treat method is widely know but after this video I realized I was doing it wrong, I've been doing it with millets, forgetting he's addicted to rice and chocolate.
Don't give a bird chocolate as it contains theobromine that is very toxic to birds.
at my age i stick to smaller birds i have 2 tiels. one handicap missing nails and vet says he had some kind of drama and healed wrong and will never fly . happened at breeders my other tiel is Valco bird.who hates his cage. i actually bought new cage for him because he could escape his old one in like 5 seconds. he pacs up and down in cage in morning or any time till i let him out. fights bedtime flys away only time i actually have to let him stay and fall sleep on my shoulder and sneak him in put cover over cage etc. why would a bird hate his cage so much when he basically only in it at bedtime
My Budgies hate their cage. They roost on top.😂
@@amerikeet yes but i do not allow my birds to remain outside their cage when i not home or asleep to supervise them
I have a question about how to get your birds nails cut when they're not tame yet? I noticed my friends parrots long talons and I am trying to train them, but I see just how uncomfortable it is for them to climb to in the cage, because they get stuck with their nails and, I can't imagine that they will be having the trust to have someone shape their nails
I wonder if it's possible to train them to you sandpaper? I do that with my dog that is intensely afraid of the clippers. Like glue really coarse sandpaper onto a solid flat object and train them to rub their nails on it?
Find a veterinarian that deals with birds they can take care of that for you. It will be a visit fee, but they can trim your birds toenails down for sure. Or find a bird store near you. Sometimes they do it if they have an employee that has a proper training for it.
@@kevinwilliams9211 ideally I think this is how they should do it, but this is still a process of grabbing them.and holding them down while they don't understand what is happening, which seems very anticlimactic from the permission based interaction stuff
@@FukaiKokoro I know that there are perches that have sandpaper on them, but they are not recommended because they are not good for long term use or something... I believe that I have to do it is really by making sure the birds trust me and let me help them out, the same way Jamie does in her video when her bird has a bloodfeather, because it seems her bird trusts her to actually take care of that. I only see my friend's birds once a week, so two of the four are not willing to step up while the other two are enthusiastic to see me for the training, but not ready to step up, and that is just a long way to go undil I could even suggest to help with their talons, but I don't think a visit at the vet that would be potentially traumatising to the birds would be a good idea, but I can see how these talons are really too long....
@@kevinwilliams9211 also thank you for your advice
I would be interested to know why they have not receive the information from your video or other methods. Not a shame question but what way would have gotten the information to them aside from one on one?
Sometimes it can be hard even with all the information. Like you're stuck in a cycle and you can't figure it out. That's why it's helpful to have a trainer come see exactly what's happening from a third perspective.
Cute boy 15
Ok... Mine RUSHES TO MY HEAD when he's scared. I've told him, he's a pineapple green cheek conure, that his shade of 💚 green isn't fitting and that he makes a HORRIBLE hat! 😁 But, he doesn't seem to care! Lol.
But, i want him to stop!
I wish I could keep my bird on my shoulder instead of him running down to my hand. He wants me to stop whatever I’m doing and just hold that hand still so he can watch what I’m doing

Oh my goodness our Nutra berries bad????????? Cause I feed my parrot Nutra berries!!!!!!!
Why is this bird clipped like that. Poor animal. Not surprise that bird want to bite or go to the shoulder.
Good luck you guys! It can help to treat owning Skittles as a hobby. Make it your hobby to train him, like going to the gym, practicing guitar, doing yoga - add "training Skittles" to this list. How to get started in your hobby of bird training? Endless hours of BirdTricks ;)
i understand in their case being the bird bitty however whywould i want to stop my cockatiel from flying to my shoulders i never Forse my birds to fly to me . i want them to step upor fly to me because they want to. not because i demand it it worked for me for over 50 yrs with birds
He doesn't listen because of that amsterdam shirt.. Try a rotterdam shirt
Get him a Venlo, home of shopping one. He ll love shopping crackers & peanuts...
I wish my little birds would stay on my shoulder. They run down my arm and try to hang out on my hands while I’m trying to draw and paint, fold laundry etc.
That's just most pets lol. My cats like to sit right on my papers when I'm drawing. They just want your attention. I've heard with cats if you give them their own paper or something they'll lay on that instead. Maybe it'll work with birds! Like give them their own little art space next to you. Obviously with bird safe stuff.
Now I know why Long John Silver's parrot used to say "argk! pieces of ear!"🦜
Cute name
I really hope to add a bird to my family again someday. The two of you inspire me to want to properly enhance the life of a parrot from a rescue. 🦜
I really loved this explanation about why they go to the shoulder my cockatoo of course wants to be a shoulder bird
