Kemosabe and Zapper talking to eachother would be the cutest arguments ever.
someone should do a mash up of sounds and turn them into a dance beat Lol - there's a challenge for you Michael Aranda and Andrew Huang!
+Belinda Weber The last thing Michael needs is something to keep him up at night. ;) I actually think this could be an awesome fan project if anyone's up for it.
Me and yoyo love this video. Lot of love ❤️ to all parrots 🦜
I love the sounds Zapper makes! Beautiful bird
Thank you for caring for these wonderful birds! I live in Amsterdam , The Netherlands, and much to my joy, there are about 5000 (!) wild ringneck parakeets flying loose. (In lots of European cities these parakeets seem to thrive). Last week, I also noticed about six Alexandrine parakeets, it was a lovely sight and I definitely welcome them in my city!
Jeez, an almond in the shell? Those shells are _tough,_ it takes quite an amount of force to open them up. That's an impressive beak on that beautiful bird! :D
You as well as the other people in your rescue are all wonderful human beings. Although the world can be a cruel and ugly place, just knowing there are still people out there like yourselves gives me hope. Take care and God bless.
I love getting to know the stories of the animals you care for :-)
It's great hearing these stories! I am a parrot owner myself and currently have an Indian Ringneck and a Quaker. My Ringneck is not hand raised and I was not given much information on him when I got him, he is quite nervous around people but I'm glad to say he's making progress, I've had him about 7 months and he will fly across the room to my hand for a treat! However he doesn't like to stay on my hand, but I understand that it will take time for him to get fully used to me and settle in, you'll understand this as you've had your Macaw Joy two years now, she's such a lovely bird :)
What a beautiful bird!
LOVE these "Meet & Greet" episodes! It's awesome to learn about all the animals' unique characteristics/personalities :)
I love these meet and greet videos, all your ambassadors are so wonderful.
I love your videos on parrots :) I have a rainbow lorikeet named Zazu, and she bops her head a little bit like Zapper does, except she tends to get her whole body involved. It's very cute!
Oh I'm so jealous! Love Blue Mountain/Rainbow lorries!!
zapper is the cutest alexaderin parekeet i have ever seen and the only i have ever seen
For all the people wondering, isn’t this also a indian ringneck parrot? no.
There are 3 species of ringneck!
•Indian ringneck Parakeet(middle beak) In the middle, smaller than the Alexandrine bigger then the African
•African ringneck Parakeet(smallest beak)smallest ringneck for Indian and Alexandrine.
•Alexandrine parakeet (Big beak) Also has red on its feathers like on the video here.
I just love learning about animals. Thanks for making these videos, I hope you keep it up!
Love hearing the history of the rescues of your animals, more please!!
Would you consider doing a more in-depth series on re-habbing the animals? Or at least one on parrots (and smaller ones)? I've heard of parrots and conures dying of grief after the loss of their human. Although we've rescued other pets (from dogs to snakes, including birds) I've never felt knowledgeable enough to try to rescue a bird in this kind of heartbreaking condition. Would this kind of education be too far outside your mission? I'd sure love it. Thanks for all you do!
Binge watching all your bird videos in anticipation of getting my own next Wednesday. I'm getting a cockatiel.
Zapper makes me smile when he shakes his head in excitement
I always get so excited when I see a new video from you! They make my day!
i like the little noises zapper makes
Zapper is adorable, time,patients, love is all they nèed.
I love these meet and greet videos! Please make more, :)
You are amazing.. just amazimg. Thank you on behalf of all of the animals that you help.
Ow my heart! Zapper is such a cutie! All those little noises are cute...What other noises does he make? How did you train him to stay on the hand? I have 2 birds who insist on being on my shoulder.
I got a blue ringneck for Christmas and today is only my first full day of knowing her and she steps up onto my arm, sometimes, she climbs onto my hood, if I have one on. Her name is Meeka.
This is my childhood, seen this on epic! everywhere
what a handsome guy! You guys are such wonderful people, I enjoy following your TH-cam channel and learning more about different species!
Zappers is the cutest
I had a parrot like that, but female. We sadly couldn't care for her so our neighbors bought him. I see her every month.
Wow zapper is so cute
Great to hear a rescue story that ended up happy for both parties. :) Are Zapper's vocalisations typical for parakeets like him, or is he kind of a babbler like Kemosabe?
I love him!!!!!
I have an Congo African Grey and he goes NUTS when I play your videos he lovessss your voice it's the funniest thing!! I think I want to do a video of him and post it would you be ok with that?
Awesome Zapper
What happened to the other 5 birds your rescued? I'm super curious!
+Demi Royale I was just about to ask the same question.
+Demi Royale We still have Joy the blue and gold macaw and Archie the blue fronted Amazon parrot. Luis the green cheeked conure died 4 days after we rescued them (from an old gravel impaction in his crop). And we rehomed Ethel the Amazon parrot and Buddy the blue crowned conure to two truly amazing new homes/people.
+AnimalWonders Montana What amazon is Ethel?just wondering.
+Parrot crazy Ethel is a blue fronted Amazon parrot. She much prefers her current human companion over me :)
AnimalWonders Montana Was wondering what cage you use for your amazons?
lovely lady
I love the meet & greet videos! I'd like to hear how all the critters get their names.
Jessie, I lost my lovely friend Mithai (sweet), an Alexandrine Parakeet today. She came from somewhere on her own and stayed with us for a few months. She ruled our hearts with her lovely nature and mischievous deeds. All the doctor's consultation and medicines couldn't save her. She suffered a lot while laying her eggs for the first time. She breathed her last in my arms. Don't know how to get over the loss. Please pray for her soul.
YAAAASSSS!Did you get another bird in Zappers enclosure yet?
Thanks for the great video. Being able to watch the 2 of you greatly reassured me that I am on the right track.
Cosmo loves to sing along with me and when he is upset my singing seems to reassure him. Even l laugh and bob my head!!!!!! ))))
Do you have video specific to this breed or are the training techniques apply cross all breeds? Would love to learn how to take Cosmo outside without fearing losing him any suggestions? Again Thank You. Peace T
Your channel is the cutest thing ever. Oh, and also very informative.
You should do a meeting greet about Jessie
yes, please show more of the big birds! :)
Can you please do a video on Amadillos what where and how, as well as showing the enclosure you have :) thanks
I saw a Zapper on the calendar !!!❤️
+AnimalWonders Montana Hello there! I absolutely love your videos! I recently rescued a Cinnamon green cheek conure who had been kept in a tiny budgie cage with only one perch .This left her with curled up feet. Here she has a large cage with a ton of different perches. She also gets warm foot bathes everynight. Her feet are starting to perch better but do you have any advice on continuing to help her?
Thank you for rescuing her! We've had a few birds come in with the same problem and most of them were able to be corrected. Offer at least 3 perches of different matter with bumps and twists along them. I'd also give her a small wooden shelf in case she wants to stretch her feet. An avian vet will be able to derermine if there is inflammation or if she's in pain and prescribe medication to relieve them. Warm soaks are great to help get her joints moving, but I worry about heating them if there's inflammation. You're doing great with thinking of how to help her and I'm sure she's so grateful for the tlc.
+AnimalWonders Montana Thanks for the response! Pretty much doing eveything youve said. So hopefully with time they will get better,not that there much of a hindrance for her now. Just getting her off "parakeet" seed has made huge improvements as well. She went from being a seed junky to now eating pellets and differnt birdie chops! I look forward to your future videos! Again thank you for all you do!
AnimalWonders Montana I just subscribed! we have a small sanctuary in AZ for Mini Zebu Cattle. I have a pair of Alexandrines. They just laid two eggs and the hen is sitting on them. I don't know what the best thing to do is. I don't want to breed birds. What should I do? The first bird chewed his tail so I got the second as a companion for him. they did not mate for the first few years. I discouraged mating but I guess they are bonded at this point. I want them to be happy but not overpopulate. please advise. You are awesome!
PEW PEW! Love it
You guys are awesome. 👍😊🌈💜
I wish I can personally go to your program and donate 1,000. I love what you guys do and a lot more people should do this. P.S Do you keep any parrots in the same cage and you remind me of the girl from Rio. XD
I have an alexanderine parakeet and i love her so much! She is sassy tho and kind of aggressive 😂
Ive just bought a 18 week old alex home tryin to bond with it isnt easy its been literally days so ive got to have lots of patience im sure max thinks my fingers are a snack lol xx
How is she always so hyped?
Really helpfull keep up the job
I remember getting a ringneck because the owner needed urgent money but the bird came sick. He rarely talked or made a sound despite being a ringneck. 2-3 months later he dropped dead ._.
My conure would go down my forearm and up to my shoulder too
To much cute. Too much goodness.
Hi jessie, i own a young cockatiel that i purchased when he was a baby, i am pretty sure i give charlie a good life but can you please make a video on cockateil care
You need more subs your really great!!
I have alexandrian he is 6 months old and i have him for 2 weks now i love HIM SO MUCH hes name is Chili cuteeee 🐣
Pretty sure there's a flock of "zapper" that lives outside a house on my street. I see half a dozen of them crowding out the local birds on their bird feeder.
Does Zapper like to have verbal interaction with humans? I often go to a wildlife sanctuary where the parrots, macaws, and parakeets seem to really enjoy the back and forth verbal stimulation of being with humans, is this typical?
Zapper reminds me of my grey Indian ring neck parrot which is now at my grandmas house ( my mum didn't let her out of the small cage so I gave her to my grandma ) she now has a huge cage and flies around the house
I also have a alexandrine parrot ! 🦜
We have a lot of wild alexandrian parakeets in my town (in Germany). Now that winter is coming I've been thinking of offering them food. Is a sorghum based mixture any good for them? If not what is?
I love your videos, especially when Kemosabe is in them and in my opinion you have the greatest job in the world!
I like this channel.
Amazing job keep the good work is are amazing
I see why he's called Zapper :P
My parrots is also the same
I love these meet and greet vids . Can u make one about the doves
go zapper!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can you do a video talking about the best cage size because I want a ringnick parrot I don’t if I write the name right but I hope you got the idea
I love all your ambassadors I think lollipop and zapper are my fav!!! How many hours a day would you say you spent with zapper? Getting an Indian rink neck in a couple weeks. I would like to start bonding and target training right away!
can you do an What, Where and How Agapornis (lovebirds)? :D
I love Zapper as much as i love this kind of videos. By the way, why does he bob his head so much? Is that a natural behaviour or an acquired one?
does anybody have tips for socializing rats? I've had two male rats for a few months now and they still hate being picked up. I have tried everything!
How do you introduce your birds to each other? We have several but the only ones who get along are the pairs we have gotten.
❤️
People want to be compensated when you're doing them a favor...?
It doesn't suprise me - the woman I recused my dog from expected payment, despite the PTSD, auto immune disorder, dog head shaking syndrome and general phobia of men in workboots and high visibility work wear... 😕 But - I'm glad I could get her out of there and start the rehab because she is SPECTACULAR now!
+sirkowski Sometimes :)
+sirkowski A lot of animal welfare sites tell you to charge something when looking for homes for animals. There's a reason they do that for animals like cats, dogs, and bunnies, and it has nothing to do with making a profit. For instance, when I rescued a 6-month-old kitten, and then found out she was preggers, and fostered her and her kittens, I then joined the local PAWS group to find the kittens homes. That group would not allow you to list animals as free. You had to charge something (it's kind of a long story, and I'm about to go to bed, so I don't want to get into it, but if you're interested, let me know, and I'll explain tomorrow). It';s likely that the people were just trying to do the right thing, and didn't really know what they were doing beyond what they had googled.
As a rescuer, rehabber, and rehomer (starting 30 years ago) we did research and home checks with all animals chipped back to us so we didn't charge. But if getting an animal from Joe Blow then Joe is smart to charge as a way to weed out disgusting buyers just looking for bait animals. Frankly, puppy mills and such that charge rescues seeking their breeding pairs are just being money hungry. In this case it doesn't sound like the original owners were trying to protect their birds (why try to deplete funds from a rescue that could better spend their money on care for the bird). Perhaps they were rehoming their birds because of financial crisis and were trying to recoup their original investment though. But they ultimately did the right thing. Thank goodness.
Jaimes I guess if you ask for money then the rescuers is more serious.
cool 😻
I have two children of Alexander Parrot what can I feed them
Ive been trying to work out wether alexandrine and ringnecks are different? Might sound dumb lol but im not sure when there are so many different names out there
My ringneck has a similar problem with climbing up my arm
I can see zapper on the calendar
How do you and Agusto cope with the stress of knowing so many animals rely on you to live? Has it ever caused strife between the two of you? Are there animals that you currently are seeking to place elsewhere because the burden is too much (are you actively seeking new homes for these animals, where do you typically seek to place them)?
I know that you train all of your parrots to perch on your hand for safety and presentations, but do you ever allow them to perch on your shoulders or preen your hair?
Cosmic Rogue to answer that after watching other videos, sometimes she lets them perch on her shoulder depending on the bird.
Great vid, but does mean the best thing for these type of birds is to have one owner from the time they are young?
They are monogamous in the wild, so their natural instinct is to bond strongly to one mate. Ideally their original human companion knows the responsibility and provides a great home for the rest of their life.
how long is zapper with out is tail because I hear they are 25 inches head to tail and I'm wondering hw much of that is their tail.
The calendar in the background
I am moving soon and taking my parakeet (budgie) with me. I don't want to stress her out, what are some tips for moving with birds? Thank you ❤️
I wanted an advice , i have got 2 alaxzandren parrots baby nd now they r growing fast , i was getting a cage fr then with 1"inch of bar spacing , is it right ?
i was wondering, is it ever a good idea to have an open space/ aviary-type place for all of similarly sized/species/tempered birds? either as a permanent or "outside time" thing? or is this best left for single species?
Madam please tell me what is dimensions Of Zapper Cage. Because I have also alexderian parrot so I need to know right Cage size please tell me.
hello...my family really loves watching ur channel...its very informative and helpful... :)
would like to get your advice on our situation...
we just got a green cheek conure last week...we wanted to take care of him because he was bitten by rats (thats what we've been told by the previous owner) he lost 3 fingers on 1 side and 1 finger on the other...total of 4 fingers...but he can still stand on the perche..
he has mites all over his feathers...how do we get rid of it?and he seems to poop everytime he sees an unfamiliar face...
he seems traumatic probably from his previous experience...
please..would appreciate your advice..
and apologies for the long comment...
please keep your videos coming..u n ur animals such a wonder!!! :) much love!!
Poor guy! Glad he found a loving him! For the mites the best solution is to use a spray solution with pyrethrins in it. It's made to kill small invertebrates, so it's also toxin in large volumes. I'd use something with 0.03% or less. You'll have to mist her down but avoid her eyes and then place her in a well ventilated area because birds have sensitive respiratory systems, and the stuff is toxic. If you're not comfortable with this procesa, get her to are an avian vet for treatment. Mites take their toll on a bird's system and because she's already stressed she could have a lowered immune system. For her behavior, just give her time. She needs to learn she's safe and that will only come with time and you continually proving that to her. We have a GC conure with missing toes and she does well balancing on thicker perches and using her beak if she looses balance. They can be so resilient sometimes :)
Thank you for loving her! Offer her some thicker perches, have patience, and work on clearing up those mites. Good luck!
+AnimalWonders Montana thank u soo much...will indeed search for it...n hope he recovers soon...really appreciate your reply and advice...best wishes from us all the way from malaysia..thanks again :)
What would you say a good cage size for an Alexandrine is
Coincidence? Look at the calander at the top left corner
I'm really sad that's why I'm watching this video because my ring neck someone stole it
Ok, so there is a conure I want to get at a pet store. It's only about 1 years old mabey a tiny bit younger, but I want to know if it will still connect to me. It's been at the pet store it's entire life so I obviously know that it will be nervous and scared at first, but if it's about 1 years old is it too old to bond and connect with me?
Yay for birbs
I have a standard poodle who is around 9. She's always been a bit of an oddball but these days she's very very anxious and any change in routine stresses her out and gives her diarihha. any tips?
+NotTotallyHopeless Does she have a safe place to hide when she's nervous? Make sure she has access to a crate or bed with comfy blankets. Are you accidentally reinforcing anxious behavior by giving extra attention at those times? Try reinforcing her whenever she's calm. Make sure she has a consistent feeding schedule. If her routine is getting shaken up, try to give her a few things she can always count on (same toy, same food, same words you say when you're leaving, same greeting, etc.). Good luck!
I am going to get a Alexandreine parakeet
look into need 2 no wht u think in ur
opinion what is a good cage 4 blue and gold macaw
