Mia The Macaw (Our First Month)

- Mia The Macaw’s first month is a video of how we worked with this clipped neglected bird and to show her love and happiness. This is not a parrot training video so doing we what did and applying it to your bird may not work.
This will show you how Mia learnt to step up with target training, how her and Mikey slowly got use to each other, how she adapted to the outdoors, meeting other birds, and finally, the very very early stages of learning how to free fly.

A few questions you may have which we didn’t cover
How long will Mia take for her feathers to grow back?
We hope Mia will have a big moult soon and all of her clipped feathers fall and fresh new ones grow so she can join Mikey in the sky, this could take a good year or so.
Will Mia and Mikey have babies?
They both aren’t at the age to be thinking about this yet, if they want to they can, if they don’t they don’t, we won’t make them or stop them, but at this stage, Mikey keeps away from her and they just tolerate each other with no signs at all of them wanting to be friends.
How did they get along in the same cage?
We kept them separated for just under the first month, we let Mia in Mikey's aviary now and then with supervision, before we built the bigger aviary they were in the old aviary together for just under a week and just kept to them self’s. This wouldn’t have worked if we just put them in from the start as Mikey did not like her at all in the beginning and had to get use to sharing.
What harness are you using on Mia?
Now what we are using with Mia is NOT recommended at all and can be very dangerous. We bought a tiny bird harness, cut off the end, attached a clip from toys, which clips on to her leg ring. This is not a safe option for most birds at all, with Mia, she doesn’t have the confidence to fly so won’t just take off but it’s there just incase she gets spooked and tries as if the wind did carry her into a tree, she wouldn’t have a clue how to get down, the harness it’s self is very very stretchy so if it ever did come in use, she would feel the tension on it and hopefully turn back around.

You flap your wings?
@@MikeyTheMacaw absolutely 😂😂
I thought by *wings* you meant feet, but I dunno how to do that..

*shows Mia bitting dad human.*
Haha yup
Poor dad human
Izzazius birds do that
@@MikeyTheMacaw did it hurt?
Yes a pinch from a macaw is like 2 dull knives pushing down on your skin
"one day she regurgitated as much as she could for Mia"
*True love I guess*
Emily haha of course.
“But Mia did not like daddy human” 😂
This is true but she’s getting much better now
XD
@@MikeyTheMacaw she still bites?😂
Siii
@@MikeyTheMacaw MIKEY is just like my macaw
there is a Macaw at a pet?garden store near me. And she only lives alone at the store. Every time i visit her she has a small bowl of seeds (cheap parrot mix) that is mostly empty and a tiny dish of dirty water with her own faeces in it. She has no fruit or vegetables, no toys, no bedding, no company. When i visit her, i ask if i can fill her water dish and i sneak her fruit and safe nuts. I have asked the owners if they would consider selling her, they refuse and are getting suspicious with my concern for her. When i leave she waves her foot, a trick she has obviously been taught however it sadly appears she understands the meaning the gesture coveys. I don't understand how the pet store owners who have a large supply of bird toys and information material at their disposal at bulk price who stand to make so much profit from the customers the bird attracts cannot part with the food and toys she so greatly deserves. I cannot figure a way within the confines of the law that i can save her, but its cathartic to see that other birds are rescued and this gives me hope.
That's so sad :( can't you report them?
Technically she can report them but requesting the bird from the police may be difficult for her as they don't know the relationship between her and the bird, but take a few pictures as evidence that may help your case
Learn English lass
Aww. Poor macaw. 😭😭😭 I'd report the store to the RSPCA. They might be able to rescue her. I hope you'll succeed in helping her. Taking photos as proof will help as well. They'll come in handy when you report the store. Take photos of the poor housing, lack of variety in her diet and the physical state of wellbeing. This should help your case a lot.
One of my local pet stores has an Amazon parrot. It's been there for a really long time and it's locked in a small cage near a window. Maybe I would try to rescue it if I had enough space and resources or at least a properly build house so the bird wouldn't get sick because of all the mold and holes which let cold air through.
This made me cry, thank you for saving Mia, i loved every second of this video, more video pleaaaaaaaaseeeee😭
First Trillionaire Follow them on Instagram! It’s worth it!
First Trillionaire Awww thanks. Hopefully we will put together something soon.
Made me cry also.
Me2!
@@nerielleoberio7605 im too drunk to cry, but cute!
How tf did i get here i started watching the breakfast club and when i woke up this was playing
Haha amazing.
i was almost cry when mia jumped to her human mom😭 I was really touched by her story. You guys are really wonderful.
Looking back on this video now is crazy to see how far she has come to now soaring the skies
You guys are just good people. The patience required for any animal is intense & I am so grateful for people like you.
It’s so rewarding see how well she is progressing.
I love this video. I’m so happy for Mia. I just rescued an umbrella cockatoo 3 weeks ago today. I really wish I would have captured his progress like this.He lived with an morbidly obese man who only feed him fast food by throwing it on the bottom of his cage. Like Mia he was a cage bird only. His cage was filthy and infested with roaches. Luckily he never developed and plucking problems, but had some major tryst issues. Never a biter, just would pull away from humans hands. He has really come out of his shell. He’s so loving and silly. Surprisingly, he’s very independent for a cockatoo and not as nosey. Than again it’s only been 3 weeks. Lol!!!! I am so in love. He and my sun Conure have yet to interact with eat other. I wanted to quarantine him for the first couple of weeks. Even though everything checked out with the vet, I still wanted to be better safe than sorry. Plus, I wanted him to get used to seeing my sun Conure at a distance first. He so much bigger than my sun and could really hurt him. Today I will be putting them in the bird room together for the first time.
Such a heartwarming comment :D
I think I saw your comment on Parrot Station on FB...thank you so much for saving that bird! I hope you live a long,healthy and happy life together!!
Awww so amazing you saved him. Hopefully him and your conure are getting along great now.
So happy for you and your 'too!! We rescued a goffins cockatoo a couple months ago from a reacue center that had more birds than they really probably should have with the conditions they had. She was very very shy when we first got her too. Shes come out of her shell a lot and after the first month and a half she went from just friendly, to a full on snuggle bug!!
How did they get along?
Oooh, Mikey has a girlfriend now! 🌹😉😂
Haha, he’s not a fan of her yet. In time
And a pretty one too!
Mikey The Macaw & Friends You Sometimes Have Funny Fans
Overly attached one at that.
Alba Arias ♥️♥️♥️ waiting for their kids... (ok that was weird I’m going to go now 😂)
This is so beautiful, brought tears to my eyes. Mia found the best home ever.
Isn’t it amazing that Mia and a lot of other neglected birds are forgiving and adapt to new and more positive situations! Love the way you narrated this story and looking forward to the continuation!!!! Thank you for loving birds the right and proper way, the way every owned bird should be!!!!
Awww thanks. Glad you enjoyed the vid. She’s doing so well. Hopefully we can show you guys more progress soon.
Yes! Of course it is easier with such a young bird, but even adult macaws can be trained. Sure, you need experience and be prepared for the upcomming bites, but when something "clicks" and they adopt you, all of the efforts were worth it.
I love the streaks of green on Mia's tail feathers. I'm so happy to see her living situation improve, and wish you all the best!
It’s so pretty right. Never actually seen that before on them
I like how on 0:33 Mia looks closely at Mikey and smiles
Same, very cute
Me: **whispers** ikea bird..
Hahaha gotta love pewds
Yay!
Pewdipie seeing this : OMG there's 2 IKEA birds now! IKEA bird's sister!
Same reaction from me! 🇸🇪 It's so obvious!
Guys, you almost had me ugly crying! lol I'm so glad you found Mia and saved her. Mikey has done so well with her as well. Well done guys.
Oh no, not ugly crying, haha. Glad you enjoyed the vid.
It's so wonderful that you saved Mia. The beginning made me want to cry-- poor bird. The love you guys have for animals is really heartwarming.
Awww thanks. She’s doing so well.
the0antagonist I want a bird now
8:00
When I try to explain something to a friend
Hahahaha
LLOOLL
TheAwkward One omg 😂
XD
Mia slowly edging closer to Mikey was so super adorable!
Haha and now they are in love
I loved the video! Mommy Human was very patient with Mia and Daddy human is very resourceful in his work on Mikey's and Mia's play area.
Parrots are very social and intelligent creatures. The next time someone calls me a 'bird brain' I'm going to take it as a compliment!
Haha yes bird brain is a great complement. We are so happy on how well she has adjusted.
No such thing as bird brains.
How wonderful. You guys are perfect parents. I have a two-year-old son and he does not require as much up keep as your birds lol
Bloody beautiful 😭 .
Stay tuned for the free flight journey.
OMG !😱
I'M IN LOVE WITH MIA TOO ❤ You guys are amazing, thank you for taking care of them and treating them with love and RESPECT.
Keep up the great work.
- Mommy human of Mike, a 13 years old blue and gold macaw. ❤
Awww thanks. She’s doing to well each day. Say hi to Mike from us.
What incredible “parronts” you are! I love how much you’re working to teach her to fly. Flighted is the way they’re meant to be! Gorgeous family!
Awww thanks. And yes, can’t wait for her to join Mikey in the sky’s.
Respect for all the time and effort given for the birds
This warms my heart so much. I can't wait until I can rescue a Macaw of my own!
Awww amazing. She’s doing so well too
I will do a same thing but I will rescue amazon parrot or grey african parrot or macaw or a white big parrot with good hairstyle when it's hair goes up. I can say that I love animals more than humans
Just a cute couple of birds just like you guys
Haha awww thanks.
45 seconds in and I'm already tearing up, my whole family is so proud of you guys saving this bird. Thank you so much! ❤❤
Awww thanks so much. She is doing so well
“And it turned into some sort of flirtatious playing.”
That is my favorite line in this whole video XDD
Hahaha yes.
It gave me so much joy to see this! You two are the best owners and this parrot is so lucky to have found you and Mikey. Truly a happy family. Life with animals is so rewarding. These are such beautiful macaws magnificent coloring! So very glad you rescued Mia, almost crying to see her do so well. Bravo for your dedication and hard work!!!

Haha you have a great name. Thanks for watching.
Good job lady Mia!! What quick recovery ❤️
Thanks. Yes she’s doing so well
I love coming back to this video from time to time. Mia has come so far since then. You did an awesome job with her. You're one of the only people that can properly take care of big parrots.
Awww yay. Yea it’s crazy re watching this seeing how far she has come.
Thanks so very much to these wonderful humans for saving these wonderful birds. So joyful.
Thank you.
Great to see young Mia. So sweet she's bonded with mum but not Dad!!! And the friendship with Mikey is clearly growing..... she is a cutie specially when she's on her back getting cuddles...... I hope she ends up a very confident macaw free flying like Mikey....can't beleive she was kept in that cage before you guys rescued her!!! Can see your gonna have double the chaos with those two......
Haha it’s not actually double the work which is nice, we can’t wait for her wings to drop and re grow so she can start flying.
@@MikeyTheMacaw I didn't think it would be..... there georgous birds.... hope that happens ok given here early captivity.... I am actually very jealous I'd luv to have 2 macaws but with my working hrs wouldn't be fair. Anyway I've got my little bean AJ (grey) who has just started flying indoors no mishaps yet......

Mikey and Mia sitting on a branch k I s s i n g 😂😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️😂😂😂
Hahahaha
Awww I’m so happy you were able to rescue her! I wish I had the time, resources, and circumstances to rescue a bird. Something to work towards in the future I suppose!
It’s a lot of work, but it’s so rewarding seeing how well she is doing.
So amazing!! They took there time to help a Macaw mentally.

It’s so nice to see her progress and grow.
I just watched 4 minutes worth of ads since the money goes to a great couple who do amazing things for such beautiful birds 😀
LOVE that you saved Mia and how WONDERFUL you are as bird parents!!!!
Awww thanks. She’s doing so well too
You guys are the best pet parents. I can’t wait to watch Mia improve! You should inspire all other bird parents.
Thanks so much. She’s doing so well too
Thanks for saving her. Wingclipping is an unholy action... Glad to see her so happy in your new vids. Happy new year :)
She’s doing so well now too. Free flying every single day.
Who’s cutting onions in here?! So happy for Mia!
Ethan Hartman Haha awww. Yes so are we. She’s doing so well.
My dad was stationed in Puerto Rico in the early ‘50s. This was maybe 1950 or so. Every morning this huge flock of Macaws would fly from one side of the Air Force base to another. They would fly back in the late afternoon. Some sort of disease has stopped this beautiful display of nature at its best. I will never forget how pretty this birds were
Awww that sounds amazing.
Just amazing and beautiful.The life you give these amazing birds is exactly what they need.I was in awe seeing Mikey free flying and no doubt Mia is too now (2020).Bless you for rescuing this beautiful bird from a life of hell..Shame on these people who are just ignorant and arrogant !!Let me put them in a tiny prison for LIFE !!!...Amazing channel and bless .We need more people like yourselves in this world....Best wishes to to you all x
Awww thanks so much. Yes she flies almost daily now. She has done so well.
I love Mia so much! !!!!
Evan Borodin So do we.

Awww thanks. We do our best to keep them happy. And yes. She will definitely be flying along side mikey. 100%
@@MikeyTheMacaw It's so incredible to see such bonds with these amazing birds you can tell they are very happy :) I'm already in love with these 2 and look forward to watching their journeys
I do have a relative with an exact macaw named luna, luna is such a beautiful unknown gender parrot, it will be such a lovable and truly courageous bird to any loving home, unfortunately, not the home it is living in right now, I truly do bitty it, even though the terrible things I sometimes notice that is happening to it, it is still a passionate loving bird for it owner, I do really bitty on it, and no matter how I try to say a thing about it. To whom the people who are having a bird that truly an unnecessary nor a love having a bird, please, give it to a person who could be as great as those lovely couples, though we do not have a birds shelter, and even if we did, unfortunately, a lot of a loving bird people would take the birds without expecting it needs to be loved or needing a ton of money.
I do myself have a beautiful budgie and a lovebird and try what I can for their needs, and it is not a spoiled bird, it is a bird that needs
Change channel name to Mikey & Mia !!!
But so many people search for Mikey the macaw haha
Mikey The Macaw & Friends please I was thinking but I thought maybe Mikey,Mia and memories?

Idk
Cuz of reasons you dont wanna know
Such beautiful birds. It's amazing to see the development of your relationship.
Oliver Stewarts They really are. We do love them dearly
Lovely birds the Macaw's very intelligent and can live for MANY YEARS. Well done
Kerry Russell Yes they are. They are a lot of work but very rewarding.
I have a cockatiel and I want him to see the outside he loves the sunlight so, is there any type of leash?
There maybe tiny ones you can buy
There are timey bird harnesses tou can get. Just get the right size and make sure it isnt to loose or to tight.
This was truly a warm-hearted video ❤️ In Germany we call it „Alles richtig gemacht 👍“ (similar to „all perfect“)
You rock!
Aww thanks man. Glad you enjoyed it. Always love your feedback.
