I think "Embrace Your Pace" is the answer for almost any anxiety nowadays, we often become blind to our progress because we're focused on what other people have. This is especially true in the pet community, I see so many people disappointed because their pets are not as cuddly, not as funny, not as social as someone else's pet on TikTok. Our expectations sometimes take the best of us.
"Comparison is the thief of joy."
Yes I agree with what you say sooo much!
Your daughter is the sweetest thing there ever was 😭😭
This is so important, particularly not comparing differant birds to eachother. My first conure wasn’t tame however stepped up within a week and was very comfortable very quickly. My second conure was tame and stepped up right out of the carrier. My third conure however was not only not tame but is also disabled and only has one leg. He took 5 months to step up and is still getting comfortable with me. Every bird is an individual, it’s about learning what each bird needs and how to work with them the way they need. : )
Great video as always!
I'm an indian and sometimes I see these birds flying around, there're beautiful. I love how you take care of yours.
I'm indian but an expat in kwt and yea I got this parrot as a pet but unable to tame ☹

@@Bubble1992 oh okay btw I was joking I promise I'm 100% racist free. I'm obsessed with making jokes and quips
Capri is so great with Touche! Seeing them cuddle was so awesome!
What a great Mantra. I love my little Budgie. He has made my life as a fulltime care giver less lonely. Mojito and I are slowly becoming good friends, and being patient with myself as well as him is a learning experience. Thanks for sharing your wisdoms with the world, one video at a time.
I am a caregiver as well... I cannot describe how much my birds have done for my mental and emotional well being!
We have a colony of wild ringneck parakeets, here in South London. They re delightful.x
OH my heart ❤️ Those little noises at the end on the bed
there is so much trust there! I am glad that both of these boys got a chance to lead better lives
Seeing Capri snuggle Touche just melted my heart ❤️.
Thank you SO much for this. I so needed to hear this message. I've been feeling really sad and disappointed with my little green cheek. She came to me about two months ago and she still doesn't feel comfortable with my hands. I have target trained her and she has made a little bit of progress, but I constantly compare her and myself to other birds and bird owners (until now after hearing you speak). I'm so grateful for you and everything you do! THANK YOU!
this video has very important message ... which everyone especially in our bird community should know ... i had two budgies named kira and jerry .. kira was always an outgoing , social , playful , attention seeker bird ... i thought that jerry is just like that .. being totally introvert , not liking anyone around ...always sleepy ... but sadly kira passed away 2 months ago ... and it led to an unimaginable journey of me and jerry where i realised how he was always an outgoing budgie but kira took away all my attention ... she gifted me a jerry i have never imagined ... he is cuddly now .. never sleeps lol .. always active and wants my attention ... so the thing is .. we tend to focus or like the birds that seem so outgoing and social ... and the birds who doesnt seem so outgoing are ignored because everyone has made these wierd stereotypes of how a bird should be ... to break it all ... the bird didnt choose you , you chose it ... so you have to give him all the love .. having a bird who bites .. not cuddles is never a bad thing ... he is being himself .. it was you who had set the stereotypes .. not him ... remember that. so you should not only emrace your pace but also your bird ... having the right diet and slowly progressing in your journey might sound like an easy thing but sometimes it will take you to start everything again ... but its really not necessary for your bird to fit all the stereotypes ... people have set
Add to that what my Aikido teacher told me at my first class. "Every moment in time is unique, once that moment has pasted you can only do it better or worse than the first time."
I love you and your daughters sweet personalities intuition and tone.
Such a good reminder! I’ve just started to work with my flock of 7. When I was getting every birdies weight the other day it was a roller coaster of emotions (for me) working how to get 7 very different personalities to get on and stay on scales. I succeed but needed a nap!
I love Touche and his personality! Thank you so much for helping him and showing your journey with him. :) Your materials not only teach how to work with parrots, but also have a therapeutic effect on people, thank you very much for your work!
This video was great.....I have been feeling that I am not doing enough to help my budgie get tamer with hands. She has always had a fear of hands and won't perch on my finger.. But in other ways she has very gradually made a lot of progress...so I will just accept her pace and not worry or blame myself. Thank you so much for this.
I am working with my budgie on the same issues. Within the last few days he has begun to be more animated around me and actively looks for his breakfast every morning. He has made a tentative "hop" to my fingers a couple times, but refuses to repeat it right away. At first I was frustrated (my first bird ever) but embracing his pace as well as my own is a great mantra. I keep forgetting we have years to get to know each other, we don't have to do the cuddling right away.
I got a baby Quaker 4 days ago,he’s a rehome and terrified of me but every day I make a little progress. Embrace with pace is a really good quote and has reminded me too be more patient with him!
We got our Quaker when she was 5 months old. I knew I wanted this baby immediately when I walked around the room with her at the breeder’s bird room. At the time Ivy was not sexed yet, so we got her DNA done right away. But male or female I immediately fell in love with this lil scruffy Quaker. She’s had her ups and downs with molting, beginnings of hormones, all the normal things a smaller parrot goes through. She is entirely in love with me as I am her #1 flock person. And I’m ok with that. At first when I have to walk away she complains, she wants to be out of her cage most of the day but there are times she has to be in her day cage when my hubby can’t watch her. We have a cat who wants nothing to do with her and my cat knows Ivy is part of the family. But no way would I leave Ivy alone in a room with any cat or dog. Quakers are a funny lot. Super smart, very cuddly once they know you and have a lot of sass. She will sit on my husband, even step up to him and I think if I wasn’t in the room she would be very amiable with him. But if I’m there within her sights, she wants to be near me. She loves going outside with me and I don’t have an aviary, but I do have a small “outside” cage for her so she can be out with me anywhere in the yard while I swim, or garden, etc. she loves the fresh air, listening to the dogs next door (she barks back) and talks and sings to the wild birds. Give your bird time. You have to earn her trust and she has to adopt you as her new flock mate. When she is ready she will let you help her preen, bathe, and cuddle. You’ll get there!
@@sunnycharacter Wow! She sounds so sweet! I've had him about a week now and hes a lot more curious about me,today he even sat next too me which was a massive improvement! Hes still terrified of hands,but hes starting too tolerate me,he even head bobs if i start bobbing my head too. I've discovered his favorite treat is apple and he will come relatively close too me for it! It's definitely going too take a while too gain his trust (especially as he has his first ever vet appointment in 2 days! 😬) but I'm being a lot more patient and its working. Thank you so much for the lovely reply :)
@@crazygirlontheblock311 that is awesome! They are such affectionate birds once they bond to you. Very kissy! Ivy comes in for a kiss over and over, to the point of overboard many times. Lol My husband say, “...get a room!” Haha Enjoy your sweet baby. You won’t be sorry!
@@sunnycharacter Aww!
@@crazygirlontheblock311 🦜💚
I love embrace your pace!
I visited a bird “pet store” in NJ where I live this particular store also takes in rescue parrots - a caique started calling out to me I went over his cage and noticed he had plucked himself and his feathers seem greasy - took him out of the cage and he did not want to leave me. The store wanted $1600 for an animal that was 8 years old and seemed to have experienced trauma… I have been depressed for two days over this and the state of some of the parrots that had been given up.
Ohhhh your working with an Eclectus!❤️❤️❤️. Thats my dream bird but Ive heard horror storys so I'm very curious. Seeing lefty always breaks my heart. I used to have a quaker parrot, I loved him so much!
Lovely Capri.💕Such a loving little lady.
That phrase works really well for me ❣️❣️
There’s something beyond endearing about touché. I relate - I feel like I would be the bird to have an anxious meltdown over being moved two feet. But he remains silly, curious, playful, engaged…. And he sure isn’t afraid to let his needs/opinion be known 🤣 He and lefty seemed to be meant to be to get thru that time together. 💚❤️🩹💚
Thank you for this video! I often get disappointed that I’m doing things wrong or at a wrong pace with my conure even after 10 years, so this helped me. Thank you!
Omg!!! I absolutely LOVED this video as I have Ringnecks & Quakers 💕 The noises at the end were SO ADORABLE! Great video 💕😘💕
Touche and Lefty are like martin and lewis the would make great pair to adopt
Omg his LITTLE VOICE! So stinking cute.
That’s a lesson I’ve had to learn in my personal life I developed in my early 20s bipolar disorder and lost everything lost my ability to work lost college lost a home lost everything.Had to put my life back together in baby steps it really is the only way. Today I am 31 years old and I have an apartment and stable job not where I want to be but I’m a lot further than where was baby steps truly do add up and are the only way.
Awww such an adorable little birdy, love your channel!
This was a important video for me and I love the way you take care of your birds
Love this and totally agree about the whole pace thing. I have a an almost 4 year old Latino Indian Ringneck that re homed and I have trained him to let me hold his feet and doesn’t seem to have a problem with it and have recall trained him as well. I look forward to seeing your video about the feet holing. Love watching your videos and learning everything I can.
Thank for your embrace your pace lesson! When I first rescued my bird he was so scared of people he fell off his perches in total fear. It took my Indian Ringneck 2 years to be ok with people just talking to him and him actually started enjoying company. I’m on year 3 and he accepts kisses, he still doesn’t like being touched or held but it’s big progress.
I love those noises Touche makes!
Perfect timing for my situation with my birds! You're encouragement and really some simple validation helped me and enriched the lives and daily experiences of my most special furry friends!I too have a bird that I tend to keep paired with the other and to explore this idea has really helped and, this is why I love youre channel. Say Hi to Dave and Capri and the birds. Blessings from Colorado! 🐦
thank you! such a great message!
Capri and touché are so cute together luv touché
I just love parrots and Indian ring necks come in so many different colors
Ringneck parakeets are gorgeous! ❤️
Our 2 year old ringneck kiwi is the best. So cute and cuddly xx
New T-Shirt idea...

Quote. .
Jamieliegh- important video for all of us.
I hope that you will stop making comparisons about your own skill levels and work as somehow being of less importance and of lesser quality.
My heart breaks when I watch your videos and you put yourself down even in just minor ways.
I think that you are first and foremost an amazing mom and friend to your friends.
You are a dedicated to nurturing your flock and the project birds that you bring into your home.
You are most likely one of the world's top notch bird trainers and bird behavior experts.
You are extremely intelligent, sensitive and your emotional IQ(I'm a Social Worker) is way above par. Your high energy level is something that many of us can only hope for.
Your aviary's are spotless, your bird's have the best nutrition imaginable.
Capri is always sweet, kind and intelligent and very generous with her time with the birds.
She's precious. I'm sure that she has her moments, but adults do too.
Some of my favorite people are children and parrots.
Be kind to yourself because you are unique,respected and loved by me and so many of your followers.
It's okay to toot your own horn now and again and celebrate and reward yourself for a job well done.💯✔
Stay happy and safe.
Love to the entire Bird Tricks family - human and feathered. 🐦😎💗

Awwww cute 😍
😍😍 Cutest thumbnail EVA!
I’m a big big big fan,
Such beauties!
Can't wait for this video luv indian ringnecks
Very good video
"*God bless everyone*"
Lovely
Back in February I ended up with 2 love birds. The owner was having mental decline issues and she was moving out of state, she couldn't take them with her.
They were cage bound for 4 years, they were never handled. One is a shy guy, but sweet. The other one is rambunctious and prone to biting, hes also a feather plucker/self mutilator. In the 7 months I've had them I've spent every morning before work with them, I also spend an hour or so with them after work. I also happen to have a budgie.
All three birds learn at a different place. The plucker is whip smart, he learns so fast it's almost scary. Hes also my velcro bird, he spends most of my free time hanging out with me. His brother is less interested in learning and more interested in cheating to get millet. The budgie has just learned to fly so hes at that toddler not gonna listen stage. I'm so ready for 3 or 4 months from now when he starts listening again lol.
My Parrot is also like it he always want to be in touch with me
Love your hair when it's blonde
The thumb nail is so cute 🥰😍
I have a Indian ringneck and it you can’t just pick it up random or like touch it or stroke it
👍👍
This is simple and right to the point..EMBRACE YOUR PACE! Words to live by in whatever you’re doing. I loved the whole video. Of course, I wished it was longer!❤️NANAJANET❤️
I absolutely love this video. I wish my Indian ringneck would cuddle. He still won’t let me touch him. He has been hand phobic since I got Him. At the end of the video you said you were gonna talk about whether to hold his feet and how to but I have never seen that. I really want to know if I should hold the little guys feet or not and how to. Please please do this for those of us that don’t know whether to do it or not.
U should do a video about the bird poops. How to keep up or what to expect.. I’m planning on getting a biggie
🥰 💚
I wish my birds would let me touch them
I'm so confused rn of why the birbs aren't super salty o-o
I have a question. Do African greys do good with lovebirds or do they fight? Love the channel btw❤
Hi I have a question what's the perfect parrot age to get him
I have a question which is a better beginner parrot a eletues parrot or African grey parrot?
Why doesn’t my ringneck let me do this to him, he just bites the shit out of me. He’s a bastard but he’s my bastard );
He needs more playtime and care
@@cmj199318 he lives most of the day outside his cage, comes and goes as he pleases, sits with me at my work table most of the day, and helps himself to my food. We okay and he’s taken care of LOL. Maybe his previous owners were poop );
I'm so jealous of ur daughter, I have had my IRN for 8 months and he is terrified of my hands and well everything really. Can seem to shake him of it
New parrot owner here, it's day 3 with my kakariki. I've got it to climb on me fingers for millet, but when it's done it leaves to perch. Am I going to fast? It comes to me I don't go to it
Do they not pop in the room on the carpet or are they potty trained
So Lefty and Touche' came from same human home?
I need help with my bird he is so sweet and pretty smart but he does like to bite!!
Hes an irn
How much do you charge? I have an IRN 22 months and he is so scared of me. I have had birds all my life. This little guy is the only one I can’t seem to tame. He hates hands or to be touched in general.
Hi how is Romanooooo doing t.y. for u RESCUE him for u..we love him..how is he doing???❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Why dont u talking about him???? Sorry if I spoke out of turnnn...Romanooooo
I could see touchés talking or whatever he’s doing I could see that getting annoying after a while
I'm so confused rn of why the birbs aren't super salty o-o
