Why Does My Yellow Macaw Do THIS?

  • Comet is my yellow dominant camelot macaw. A camelot macaw is a type of hybrid macaw with 3 different color variations; red dominant, yellow dominant and blue/green dominant. The same clutch of eggs can have all different colored babies. All hybrids look a little different though.

    30 solid seconds of foot check, followed by fluff, cuteness, and sunny feathers. Thank you for drowning out the dreariness of the current world for a few minutes. It is needed, and appreciated. ❤️☀️

    I loved the vid. That said, I am an avian behavioralist, and new research indicates that birds who stare at their feet are _actually_ trying to communicate that they are being mistreated. In this case, the foot staring was of a longer duration than most, which is how exotic parrots like Macaws communicate that their owners are very good at concealing the abuse, and that despite outward appearances, their allegations of neglect should be taken seriously. It’s either that, or the bird could be trying to communicate that they need to poop soon.

    It’s fantastic the way you let Capri be with and respect the birds. So many families who don’t own birds as a profession will just straight up rehome a bird if it doesn’t work out the first time with a kid instead of teaching the kid and the bird to respect and be respected

    So glad you did a video with Comet, he's such a beautiful McCaw with striking colors. When you were describing how to tell Comet and Tusa apart from the back, it works well. I've always wondered why some birds are fascinated with their feet, but then I think they look so different from the rest of their body, so why not, lol. He's healthy and Happy and Content, can't ask for more.

    @EmilyMeredith 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Ok so I know you've probably thought of this and you are so wayyyy more experienced than I could ever be-- but my corella started doing "prolonged foot checks" last year kinda out of the blue. For a couple days I didn't think anything of it, checked her feet, no problems, so I left her be. She kept doing it, so I wanted to look once more fully. I ended up finding the tiniest of splinters on the underside of one of her feet, so small I would've never seen or felt it otherwise. It wasn't inflamed or anything. I believe it was from a wooden perch she had gnawed on. Now I sand down every natural wood perch and check them by running my hand across them every so often.

  • @Smedis

    I think he has through unintentional positive reinforcement learned that he often gets some kind of reaction or attention if he bows down his head, which has increased the frequency of it occurring. But it’s super cute!!!

  • @cuzican1902
    @cuzican1902 4 ปีที่แล้ว +11

    When Jamieleigh sat down and said to Comet, you foot checking? I thought she said fact checking and maybe he is. Maybe he is in fact checking that Jamieleigh is correct when she said his feet are still there. He's just being a team player :)

    I think Comet’s foot-staring is communication directed at Jamie Lee. He wants a neck rub.
