  • Today I am working with my friend Patty's 30+ year old goffins cockatoo, Theo, and introducing her to our new BirdTricks x Ibiyaya Bird Backpack! You can get this backpack for your tiny, small or (on the small side of) medium parrot here: birdtricksstor...
    Some birds might be too scared to approach the backpack and shoulder rush you to get away from it, so I hoping this video sheds some light on how to work through certain circumstances a scared or nervous bird might present.

    Jamie and a cockatoo. 😮
    So you and Dave know. I am a lurker here. I don’t have a bird. I thought I wanted one until I watched many of your videos. Now I understand I am not the right fit right now. So I lurk here and support my local rescue. Thank you for the great videos. Thank you for educating me. But I need a cockatoo at some point. Nnnneeeeddd. Lol

      I’ve had 4, and so crave another. But I have them living snd screeching right outside my window, so now that keeps me content. Snd I can walk to a place deep in a park where if I lay down in grass w a bowl of sunflower seeds., at least 20 will walk all over me snd eat. I adore this!!these are wild birds!

Cuz one day if u don’t feed them on time cuz ur out, they will tear your plants apart just to be destructive. They’re known to tear apart roofs. But then they make u laugh twirling around on the telephone lines sbove the highway! When there’s a light rain they bath on the trees by spreading their wings snd rubbing them on the leaves whilst screeching in joy!

Blueberry is unreal 😂 I hate when people act like budgies are just silly little birds that aren't worth a lot of effort when they are, they are so smart and so lovely. Theo is just absolutely the sweetest little darling, her fluffy face makes me so happy. Cockatoos make me happy 😂

    Oh, I love Theo!!! They are the sweetest little cockatoos. They look a lot like the little corellas we have here in Australia. I do like the look of the backpack, I've been wanting to try out my darling boy galah in one as he's a very social fellow and would love to come places with me. He's about the same size as Theo. I will have to look into getting him one!

    Seeing Blueberry 🫐 @05:00 come in gave me an idea. Maybe 🤔 seeing other unafraid birds on the counter, 2 maybe 3, would give her enough confidence to alight too .
    I’m thinking of the birds I feed on a platform out my slider🚪. When 1 bird flies in, a slew of others do too feeling safety in numbers. Same goes when 1 sees a potential predator, they all fly away en masse. Just a theory, but maybe follow-the-leader would work faster.

    Don’t u know that when cockatoos put their beard on (feathers up over beak) they are tired. Their feet snd beak will also get warm They take lil kips during the day, fluffing their feathers out like their doona snd sometimes tucking one foot up snd then exchanging. They generally won’t tuck their head in unless it’s their night sleep. You will also see them checking their environment with one eye occasionally, or if they hear a slight noise.

      Mine was too. I found that, by just leaving something near a place he likes (like 1 or 2 meters from his cage), my budgie gets used to the object and may even try to go near it after after a few days/weeks. He gets less and less afraid each time a new object is put there.
