What a sweet eclectus! She's so calm, even with all the noise and new people! The dream, honestly lol
Lovely bird. I also like how well the people where taking in what you said. They weren't justifying why they did what they did, just explaining what they thought then taking in the new information you presented them. It was lovely to watch.
Penny and her owners seem like awesome students!
This video will really help me to visually explain to my family how to handle parrots. The slow motion shot is my favourite part! Thanks! 🤩
Perfect timing! You posted this just when I wanted a BirdTricks fix. Love your videos.
Every Monday and Thursday!
I must admit, these educational WS videos are my favourite 😍
I love to watch these one on one sessions! So rewarding. :)
I'm glad you enjoy them!
Another amazing video! I am trying to train my moustache parakeet to land on my hand and not on my head and it's getting better because I learn from your videos.
I legit was watching a free flight from your channel and went to get coffe. I came back to see another episode! I’ve never clicked so fast!!!! 💝 love you and your channel guys! ❤️ 💕 💜
Aww yay!
@@BirdTricks hope you can answer soon, I was wondering if a lisence is needed in order to get an electus parrot?
I have gotten so much value from the momentum/intention tip. I watched a Birdtricks video from a few years back that discussed "hanging up the bird" along with momentum and intention. Utilizing that tip, I no longer have any trouble putting my bird in her cage (she also gets rewarded for going in her cage, so that helps too). As well, when I put her down on a perch or surface, she goes easily because of that. It's helped so much!
I love your footage💛✨ you have really sparked my love and passion for birds 🦅
I have two eclectus parrots and the male is so easy to train and ready to learn new tricks, plus he's the best indoor flyer I've ever seen. The female was raised by someone else and is much harder to teach things without my husband and other people being consistent. Training parrots comes after training people lol.
I managed to switch my little Pacific parrotlet over to just pellets rather than pellets and seeds (he refuses to eat moist foods at all) and have had so much more success. We have been doing a quick treat session every day for this week and I've got him eating off the back of my hand or millet held between my fingers. Now I've just gotta get him to trust me enough to step onto my hand. Thanks so much for the videos. I feel like I'm finally making headway and it's great
Your such a smart woman keep up the great work you make it look easy
Awesome job!
This is exactly what I needed! I decided to start focusing on indoor flight training with my fearful jenday conure, Lydia, and she picked it up WAY faster than I thought! When she realized she could use flight to get to me she was all about it, but she only ever lands on my back when I pretend I'm walking away. You guys were my first stop to figure out what to do!!😁❤
I know this is an old video but I’m getting an female ekkie as my first bird (so far I’m at 1-2 years of research) but this video and all your ekkie ones are so helpful for me!!! Seeing it is the best research lol. About a month until I get her :) she’s 8 months old. Very excited for our first meeting next week! I’ve only ever talked to her through her cage before.
What a gorgeous bird.
I got totally engrossed in this and was gutted when it ended! There was great progress from all parties.
Oooooo so cute!!
Love the vid! Keep makin em
Thanks!
You can see the progress already!
What a smart girl Penny is! My caique likes to land on my fingers and then flip upside down. 😂 Not long after I become the jungle gym. He has more energy than my little nephew! I've been listening to his personal rendition of The Addams Family for about 10mins now, where his little hops are the snaps. He is such a light in my life. Birds are so special.
So helpful to see in slo mo
Thank you to the family for us to be able to learn from their mistakes 💜 Thank you that we can watch you 🙏
Wonderful bird vlog YR.
The thumb hold seems to be the most important maneuver.
Nice Habs jersey! Parrot love from Montréal! My birds HATE the colour red so unfortunately, I can't ever support the home team by wearing their merch.
My bird flies to my head when I tell him to come by hand.😬😂
I just got a budgie 2 days ago and we’ve made so much progress! I can already put my whole hand in the cage without him getting scared
Once again: Gorgeous colours! And it's really nice to see so much progress in one video. With this one I really feel like they are going to improve a lot in a short period of time.
Another great video! Thanks for sharing!
Woww... .So Excellent Parrot Bird view......😍👍👌👍 ++ >> 🔔🔔
Ma babyyyyyy!!!!! Love herrrrr!!!!
I’ll keep this knowledge on my head
Good hack
This is an amazing video! Thanks for sharing. 💕💕💕
What's a good treat for eclectus for this type of training
Zi love that I hear bubba laughing and expect Jamie to appear with him lol
Hey.... wonderful video....I got to know from one of ur videos that u had an Indian ringneck...can u pls tell me what do u feed him
I am thinking having the thumb up would help her grip better. She is keeping down so when bird lands it is like a thumb wrestle to get position right
I have a shamrock macaw, female that I rescued out of a storage unit. I dont have the time for a bird, so I found her what I thought was her forever home, however she no longer wants her. I've watched a ton of your videos and wondering if you had any good options for this bird. I live in washington state if that helps. Mira needs a good home.
i have a 4 month old female eclectus.
What are the treats she is giving the parrot?
I have a question. Is it ok for your bird to be on your shoulder? I just wanted to know thanks
When do eclectus Parrots start learning to fly?
Carey Price!
I have a cockatiel who will only land on my arm. I'm still taming her (had her about 6 months) and she still scared of pretty much everything. I can't approach her with my hand as this seems to terrify her. getting her out her cage I usually hold some millet and she will eventually hop out and just onto my arm
My ringneck lands always on my arm instead of my hand as he is scared of my hand for some reason and bit me if I want to trick him. I guess first I need to work on that.
How do you introduce a cat to your bird?
From stories I’ve heard even one cat scratch can kill a bird so most people would say you shouldn’t risk it.
Don't!!
@@animallover5626 thanks for the info. Ill definitely keep that in mind. But i just want them to able to be cool with each other. I dont want the cat really near my bird especially without me being there to supervise. But i also dont want him going after her. What im afraid of is that if my cat is somehow in the same room as my bird without me knowing, he'll think of her as prey or as a toy to pounce on. Im hoping that if i can get them to be cool around each other, then this might not happen. But I'm not looking to find a way for them to just hang out with each other. If it's absolutely imperitive that i keep them seperate i will try my best. I just thought that this may turn out to be safer.
If I touch my boys foot so he doesn't move up my arm he freaks out and flies off, so there's no way I could hold his foot!
That just means you need to work in shorter approximations than just going for it. If you were going to teach your bird to lay on its back, you would reward each and every movements towards it vs just flipping your bird over and expecting the behavior right away. Same with the foot holding - there are ways to condition it positively and then work up to longer duration's of holding it.
@@BirdTricks thanks heaps!
When I put my thumb over my Amazon’s foot, she bites my knuckle!
