Wow!!!! How quickly he learned the spin! Pretty amazing how such a simple change in movement can make such a big difference. If you didn't know better or have someone teach u the right way you'd have no idea what to do differently especially with such a tiny difference
Thank you bird tricks. I took two budgies in my care that would have been homeless otherwise and I learned a lot by watching you.and thanks to everyone who agrees to sharing their successes and failures with world, so we all can understand our feathered friends a little bit more
i love you guys. my 13 year old budgie passed away and i found your videos by chance. they helped me process it and listening to dave helped me understand what i did to make everyone think i was some pro bird trainer... im def not. my budgie would free fly with me when i would go on walks, do different dances on command. i basically treated him like a roomate and he wouldnt do things for treats, he would do it for the interaction, but after watching your vids a lot of it makes sense. glad i have so much footage of him. ive never seen such a funny weirdo budgie. i just got a new one to work with and im going to try again after all i have learned from you and from Pete RIP
Sorry you lost your pal. What was his name? I still have my 25 plus yrs cockatiel, Henry. I dread the day he stops 🌈🖤
Hugs!
@@dianedevery3711 what do you feed him?
@@haleemamannan A good quality seed mix, fresh chopped veg, finely chopped nuts, sprouts. Henry lost half his lower beak many years ago, in a collision with a door. His vet made him a prosthetic one which lasted a few years. He does fine without it but I always make sure his food is chopped. Henry has had 9 lives, and recently become a dad.
@@dianedevery3711 wow! He is a strong fighter 💪 ❤
What a little smartie! One of the best things I have learned is leaving a training session with them wanting more. It makes for much more successful training sessions.
Nothing better than a demonstration, to help with the training. Thanks
Jamie makes it look so easy. She shows how a little difference makes a big difference.
Your amazing training almost makes me wish I had a bird to train. Thanks to you guys and your videos, as well as other videos, I know I am in no position to care for a bird. They were never on my radar, but I started watching Griffi The Dancing Cockatoo, who has had a terrible life, she plucked out all her feathers. I was appalled and in love. The foster family adopted her! Now she has a forever home. TH-cam has since taken me down a very big rabbit hole. I would now love to have a bird. Again, I know I’m in no position to give it the kind of life it needs and deserves. I would only ever adopt and possibly a senior bird if I’m ever in the position to care for it properly. Your commitment to these magnificent creatures is epic, as is your willingness to be patient and help the humans ✌🏼💐🦜🇨🇦🕊🙋🏼♀️
I could feel that flight. ❤❤❤ love the feeling birds get when they "get" it
A phrase I learned in the Navy..."Attention to detail". Where your right hand's nearness and height are very important for success. Same goes for the left hand.
3 years watching your videos and always learn something useful
What a lovely bird! He is so smart.
We had cockatiels when I was a kid. One of them was named Tweety and she was very sweet. Our friends moved out of state and didn't think their old cockatiel would survive the move, he was very cranky and lived another 10-15 years before he started to lose all of his balance and his quality of life wasn't there. The cockatiels were better guard dogs as far as letting us know when someone pulled into the driveway than our dogs. I'd love to see more cockatiels in your videos
I don't have a bird or even want to own one but I just love this channel ❤
Like! Like! Like! Like! 😊❣
You guys are so great!
Woah, that’s a parakeet!? He’s gigantic! And have brain cells! Very cool
I personally found it easier to teach my bird to turn around by moving the stick (or treat) underneath the bird, rather than on top. It made my bird feel more secure since the stick was coming from below, where he can monitor it better compared to above his head. Great and educational video!
I so enjoy your videos. I learn so much each time I watch. 🌹❤ Gina Hetlage
Fabulous job. I have a Derbyan who is now one year old. He’s scary smart, and an amazing talker. He picks up whole sentences easily, and is an incredible flier. Jujube is also what I would say a more “nervous” bird, quick to startle. He has a piercing natural call as loud as a cockatoo and goes through macaw-sized wood toys in hours. It’s very hard to keep him occupied because he’s so smart and a voracious chewer. And he’s getting his adult colors in, and looks absolutely stunning.
I have a Derbyan too and he’s like yours. Big talker and goes through toys quickly. He was also pretty nervous when I first got him but I was able to gain his trust with time and training. I found that what occupies him the most are toys with charms or multiple pieces. He loves taking them apart and putting them together
@@LunarSafi Pati, can you give me an example of a toy that has charms? I’m not sure I know what you are talking about.
This one reminds me of a video Jamie did with flight training a macaw who had a deformed foot….she teamed her up with Jinx or someone so the new bird could literally learn through observation.
"cause we're awesome", said Jamie.
Yea, you guys really are. I've loved watching y'all for the past five years! Didn't even have a bird for the first three years. Having used that guidance to raise my Sun Conure (2yr old) now, was and still has been, an amazing and seemingly super easy experience.
O my goodness this little one is sooo smart! 😍
Smart bird! His owner is going to do well with training, if she is consistent.
What a cute lil smartie pants!!
This little Derbyan is such a character and one of the most striking bird's I have seen. I know he's not as colorful as the hybrids, but his personality has stolen my heart.
I need one of these little sticks, & I've heard several times it's simply a chop stick. I will be ordering Chinese this week to acquire a few. Definitely looks like it saves the fingers, especially working with older rescues on simple step ups when they've been caged their whole lives.
Very cool training session.... I love derbyan and MP. SO SMART!
Kai is a quick study! It is so lovely to see how he really got into that energy of flying there at the end! What a sweet friendly bird. 💚
I like how flexible these two people are to finding what works with each individual bird. I don't like calling things that don't work as failures. You aren't failing at all. You are learning what does and doesn't work with each individual bird. And person. I can't ever get the clicker to work and I am so jealous that it works for these 2.
Yes my ringneck twirls, touch the stick, hop on perch but to nervous of hand. Has not bitten me. I watch your videos. Thank for your help.
Quick learner and Super Cute 😍
Thats cute! He saw the other bird take a nice little flight and finally did it. He gained alot of confidence from class thats for sure. These classes have a great dual purpose obviously the bird gets some training but so do the owners and its great to see them both gain confidence and knowledge. They're building a bond.
Always amazed by every video I watch from you guys.
You make a great team you’re both great bird trainers you can tell your kind lovely people ❤️
Enjoyed watching the bird training. I wish I didn't have a cat in the house.
I love your channel and also flock talk, as have a parrotlet. X
I don't even have a bird but watching this was so cool!
I was feeling that momentum on the turnaround w/ finger & was shocked when y'all stopped ☺ must be so difficult
These videos are the best. So helpful for even my nervous budgies.
What a great bird. Love all your content.
I have a Derby they are very smart and vocal 👍
What a cute bird
I’m not a bird owner, but I still have to say how much I appreciate this channel. I have three cats that are all clicker trained, and I have learned SO MUCH from watching and listening to you both train birds. It’s helped us make tremendous strides in training in just one week. I’m actually having similar issues to this bird mom, so this is super helpful to see.
Thanks so much for sharing content from your classes! I have 5 green cheeks with different backgrounds and I've used a good handful of the things I've seen from your videos with my birds and it's always so awesome to see how each individual bird is receptive to different elements of the methods shown through your videos!
There are so many parakeet species that look similar to this bird. I thought it was a mustache parakeet.
We need to see a new full BT Flock of the bird's review report.
A BIG thank you for ALL YOU GUYS DO!!! I truly appreciate your videos. They are all amazing!!! It always makes me want to go immediately and work with my sweet Kesha Koo, my 7 yo African Grey! Most the time I realize I watch them at night or in the morning when he is still sleeping 😴! 😉🤣🤣🤣
But once he is up I am with him and trying! So again, THANK YOU!!! 🕊🕊🕊
You guys are fantastic
Definitely my favorite video so far! 😻
I'm not able to have bird anymore but I Love watching your videos!!
Oh he's beautiful
You guys are awesome love everything you do
You guys are amazing
Very good video.
Right to the point and a lot of success. The owner was doing a very good job.
She is lucky her bird is beautiful!
Love these videos! It’s great to see some different species during your masterclasses too! ❤️
Very fun video!
what a cool bird! gorgeous and smart!
That was an amazing session! 👏👏👏. You guys can really bring out the best in these birds!
Very helpful
So cool
awesome I need help with my Derby! shes just turning 2 but I've been ill and not been able to do much with her so this will be useful
Can we please get some umbrella cockatoo tips/videos ?
Hey! I had two sun conures, one passed away & I need to give this one away , I would love to give you my sun conure so she has a good home. I don’t trust anyone with her … if so, I will bring her to you. Thank you 🙏🏽
You guys really are amazing and have been so helpful regarding our new budgie. However, I was wondering if you had any tips on training my husband and kids to pick up after themselves? I’m about to drop kick all of them out of the nest if this continues. 😉😬
Tell your bird I said hi!
My African Grey parrot is the same. Indoor recall is no problem. But, outdoors, she's willing to fly to her perch, but, not willing to fly to me. Been trying to overcome this as I'd like to FF her outdoors eventually.
So what were the treats?? Enticing and effective but I never heard, could see or even read in the comments. Always looking for motivating treats…! Thanks!
How is this parakeet different from the Mustache? They look so similar!
Derbyans have purple chests and blue heads whereas the mustaches have pink chests and more blue green head. Also, the derbian is larger, closer in size to an Alexandrine. Definitely being able to see an adult of each bird side-by-side you can tell the difference! I love Derbyans because of their bigger size - They are just stunning 😍
What are the treats you are giving him? I have a Derbyan and hes 11 months old. I can get him to step up onto a stick but that's about it. Great video by the way .
I used to work in a pet shop years ago loved it sold pups to all others and parrots but where do you get one of those clippers drom as i dont work anymore i dont know anywhere idea as i have parakeet slight tame i want to get out of cage more i think he does too as he does not talk much this may help😊
I'm having troubles with where to go with training my cockatiel. I watched your video on training the cockatiel to spin about 100 times - it was amazing, because it step-by-step showed how to make the cockatiel do that trick. Now my little guy does it perfectly. But what next? I truly don't know what else to teach him now, and there aren't that many good step-by-step trick videos out there like that cockatiel spin video.
Just a thought - some of us are looking for ideas and how-tos beyond free flight and behaviour! How do we get them to wave? How do we train to go through a hoop? The cockatiel spin video is honestly the best one!!
PS: please take on a cockatiel for a project bird!!
We have a trick training course on our website that walks you through tons of tricks you can do! www.birdtricks.com
@@BirdTricks Thank you!
Lol, my clicker trained dog looked up for treats with every click. She got like 5 treats for standing on her new dog bed before I remembered headphones exist.
Oh well, I've been trying to get her to use the new bed for a few weeks now. 17 and still a stubborn ball of fluff.
What happened to the cockatoo Blizz😂😂😂😂
I did a whole series on him over on my Patreon... www.patreon.com/birdtricks. I am not sure it will ever show up on YT just because I edited it as part of my Diet Conversion Course I'd like to create. So right now only that series lives in Patreon at the Bondi tier. xo
I'm having the sabe problem with my cockatiels (I have 2). One of them is scared to jump and often uses her beak to bring my hand closer during formal training. The other doesn't like formal training and comes to me when I call not landing on my hand, though. Please help me!!
Wow, I've never seen an avocado with a brain before!
WHERE DO YOU GET YOUR BIRDS FROMMMM
I was wondering why your not verbal cues along with the training, btw I can guess it's cuz its a new trick for him or maybe it doesn't matter? My bird listens for my cue plus hand signals, perhaps I am not supposed to except he responds really well with verbal, cues or of course I use the stick when it's a new trick, my bird is almost 4 now maybe that's it? Anyhow great job, truly👍👍👍
What are the treats you are training with?
that's a big-ass keet
I would love to work on training with my ekkies, but I'm not sure how I could even get them on T stands. They LOVE to target the stick in their cage though.
Try pushing the stands up against the cage and just slowly expanding that comfort zone onto the stand.
My parrotlet who I’ve had for around a week likes being around me but still bites me. If I put him in his cage he’s unhappy, if I leave the room he doesn’t like it. But when I am there and finally let him out he calms down but he mostly wants to be with me, on my shoulder, chest, arm, leg, etc, but when he is he just bites. Like I’ll be doing nothing and he’ll come fly to my shoulder and bite my ear. Same thing goes for training. I give him plenty of space to leave if he wants and don’t shove my hands in his face and he doesn’t have any angry or scared body language but he still goes at my hands if he can reach them. I can get him to step up with treats but once the treats go away he just starts nipping again. He loves scritches which is about the only thing I can do to get him to stop biting. Any advice on why he’s doing this?
Oddly enough, my Senegal parrot is more likely to fly to my hand than step up.
Yes I have two theyre very cute I want them out of cage but Im afraid they will hide under sofa wont be able to get them out, I think in the beginning when theyre not familiar with the placecthey hide, she did thatt when I brought her first then I got the other one for company, I have to bring them out of cage someday hate to lock them there, mines didnt talk yet, but Ive seen another one at pet store was talking wish I got that too
It will be nice when I can get my cockatiel out of it's cage. I can leave the cage door or the top open all day, and he won't come out. I'm working on diet conversion. He will let me stand in front of his cage with hissing at me, but if I talk or touch the cage, he hisses. So every day when I feed him and give him fresh water, I push thru his threshold. I got excited because I was able to get close enough for him to touch the target stick, and he did, but I have not been able to repeat it. I just have to give it time, as we just started diet conversion a month ago. I can't even get close to him to give him a reward. I have gotten him to bite a millet spray twice.
are derbyan parakeets the same as moustache parakeets? bc they look really similar
They're not the same, but very closely related. Derbyans are larger and have slightly different coloration
@@lizziehn5928 thank you!
How big are the cages for derbyan. Parakeets and what’s the diet like
amazing trainers
I really want my bird to fly. He gets all excited to fly like in this video but chickens out. He only flys when he looses his balance and doesn't have a choice.
early?
Kinda 🤷♀
Comment
I think that bird is a female. Otherwise the bird’s beak would be orange, if it was male. Cool bird.
I was thinking the same thing.
I don't like how the girl behaves. She's fast and hectic, seemingly making it about her and not making any emotional connection with the bird. When she shoved her fist in the cage, for instance, it seemed to frighten the bird. She needs to get in her bird's state of mind and try to feel what the bird feels at the moment. Unless she develops that kind of bond with the bird, she won't be a good owner. Sometimes, I think it's the new owners who need lessons about their own behavior more than the bird's.
