Just a note: It's impossible to look stupid to a parrot fanatic audience while doing anything to please your birds :P
Is it just me or did anyone else say Jinxi! when you saw him😂 he is so adorable 😊
I do that every time I see him!!!
@@alexisstubbs3509 Ikr!!! all the time😂😂 its either Jinxi or Bubba!! 😂
every single time :D
Yes, Jinx is my favorite, although i love all of there birds, My conure ,Jake, has a very similar personality like Jinx, course he's smaller than Jinx!!🤣🤣♥️
It’s sad to think that not every bird owner will watch this and these tragic accidents will happen again.
Best thing you can do is share it with anyone who says the own a bird. 🙂
Good news is there are people like myself who don't even have a bird yet, but plan to someday and are learning all this good stuff ahead of time. :)
Just a note on another dangerous factor in bird toys: some come with a carabener clip on top (the metal clip you push in to open and attach the toy to the cage) I had a bird figure out how to open the clip and it got stuck on the opening under his beak. It didn't break the skin so, other than terrifying himself, he was totally okay. Until it happened AGAIN this time he was able to both unscrew and open the clip and this time it went deep. After a couple stitches he was fine but he wouldn't touch any toy for years after that and it took me a long time of training to desensitize him to toys. Now he is great but I always remember never to keep those toys on clips. I just wanted to say something for other bird owners. I've never seen or heard of it happening to other birds but they're very smart creatures and now that I know it's possible for them to open those clips and literally hang themselves, I have to get the word out to other bird owners. Jamie I hope you see this it's just an FYI for everyone!! Thank you so much for everything you do!! Because of you my bird went from having lost more than 50% of his feathers from plucking to being almost completely covered and ready to fly within less than six months of my care💚 thank you thank you thank you!! Oh and my electus Hank says thank you too!!
Oh my goodness! Poor poor baby😢 I’m glad the birdie is ok now💖 thanks for sharing this info!
This happened to.. believe it or not. My childhood budgie. She was seriously injured but thankfully survived.
Thanks for the condolences and replies guys! I'm glad I can help others avoid the same scary situation. Hank is doing amazing now though! I can't wait to schedule a consult so Jamie and Dave can meet him. He'll be one of their flight students one day
Yes there scary I like the d clips with the bit that screws over it but see dangers in those as well so found a plastic version.. I m trying to get for my Parrot store that has everything you could need for parrots and parrot ppl... Have a look at www.BigbieParrot.Com
What type if bird do you have?
i like how she just spent 5 minutes at the end with Jinx going "babababaBAbabaaa"
And apparently neither Jinx nor I know what the correct reply is to that.
I have a parrotlet and her favorite toy was a frayed cotton rope ring. She loved nestling into it and preening the tiny strings. One day my dad and sister yell to me that she was stuck so I ran into the room to find that her neck was wrapped up in the rope and she was screeching, trying to get out. I barely managed to cut her out in time and I made sure the toy went straight into the trash after that (after making sure she was ok). If they weren’t in the room when that happened she would have suffocated to death which is honestly the scariest thing to think about.
Oh yes, i learned that lesson also, happened to my conure, never again will i get that type of toy! So both you and i got lucky to be right there to help our birds!😱♥️I almost lost him, had I would have not been home, it wasn't easy untangling and carefully cutting him free from this close call!👍
Jinx eyeing your shoulder at the start 😂
Me: *sitting on my bed*
My bird: *Waiting for the perfect moment to bite my face*
Eeeks!♥️
Nothing is more hilarious and adorable to me than when a bird attempts to sing something, but inevitably butchers it completely haha!
Yes! Lol🤣🤣🤣
I never realized how much of a good deal your toy bundles were! 3 toys for just over $20! A lot of times one toy is $20 by itself! Once I get my bird I will definitely be getting toys through you!
Yes... I wish they were available in New Zealand.
@@Jevandtieriel and Australia :(
@@alanahjade27 I'm pretty sure they are available in Australia (I want to get them too) but with conversion and shipping, it becomes very expensive :(
@@jessandthebirds yeah that's what I mean, they're super expensive to ship so it's not worth it
I can get 10 toys for $20CAD
Why are bird feet so cute 😭
I always thought it was adorable how my bird would sleep in his fabric hunt or rub his face all over different fabrics until I saw that picture of a bird opened up and filled with fibers. No more fabric huts for him
Talk about being distracted. My cat yanked my headphones out while I was watching this. How can I be upset at his cute wittle face? Hi Jynx! Hi Sunny!
Just so you know, Jinx is spelled this way.
OMG that flush on that birds cheeks.. adorable 😍😍😍
"You're back." ...story of my life 😂
🤣🤣🤣
is it just me or is Jamie GLOWING - love from London xx
I agree love from Nottingham love you jinx and sunny x
Usually when a woman is glowing, they are pregnant. Just sayin’! 🥰😘. Nana Janet
I noticed that too! 💛
Sunny trying to fly at the end was adorable! I can't wait for his flight feathers to grow back so he can fly! 💙💛💚
You are definitely jinxes human!
He sticks to you like glue 😂🥰
The bondi board looks perfect for my birds because they love stringy things!
I think color matters to my scarlet. She's scared of natural colored toys, but gets super excited about brightly dyed toys. When she was on fruity pellets, she would not eat the orange ones and the purple were her favorite.
Wow I I'm gonna be super informed by the time I get one thanks to watching your channel the last year and a half. Thanks for caring so much for these little creatures from God and informing others
What species are you going to get? I have a green cheek conure, he is easily trained, loves playing, got him when he was 3 months old, he is pinapple color, and not very loud at all, he talks alot, maybe choose a green cheek, he will be 2 years old in September!🎉♥️whatever you choose sounds like you did your research! Let me know what species you get!♥️
Love you!! And I know my uncle had a galah and he had treated pine timber as one of the toys, the bird chewed/shredded the wood daily, so I bought some of the toys I got for my pigeon ( some were to big/ my pigeon Scooter doesn’t play with many toys) and we ended up taking the galah to my bird vet and the bird was poisoned by the treated pine! BAD BAD BAD!!
Thank you for sharing - I hope the bird recovered 💕 my doves like the same toys as my toucan, ones they can unravel!
I love your interactions with Jinx. While I like all of your birds, Jinx is my personal fav. He's so gosh darned cute!
Jamie, absolutely love the busy box, (great idea)! All the detail into the asking of your toys is impressive. Jinx is such a scene grabber, Always nice to see you two together. Product looks great and most important safe. All the best!
What about mirrors / mirror toys? They are nothing but a mental torture device.
Had a really hard time finding parrot safe toys myself. The stuff they sell in pet stores can be dangerous if not fatal to birds. They sell it in the bird isle, it is colorful, people think their birds need it. Seeing mirrors and happy huts in peoples parrot cages drives me up a wall. I found out about planetpleasures parrot toy website. Seems like your bird boxes have some interesting looking items in them that I don't see in their web store at all.
Those pins are awesome. I will have to order the small box for my budgies / cockatiel on my next paycheck :D
I just bought some and it will arrive tommorow
IdanValenzuela nice!
You are first btw
@@chicken5761 ok
Perfect! I’m going to buy some new toys soon! 😌
I love it❤️ especially your animals.
Thank you again going through safety about toys .
My green-cheeked conure (Elleri) LOVES to make noise. So, I replace any bells on toys with super hard plastics that can clink together. Her beak can't break these, so I don't have to worry that she'll injure herself, but she still gets to have her clatter.
Thank you for doing this video. Foam is pretty common as a spacer in toys and they are super bad for birds. Birds chew them and ingest it causing impaction which has lead to many deaths.
Love how much you look after your birds
Omg the cute fluffy Jixy. Love him so much. He’s beautiful. I agree that that are so many things that people aren’t aware of that can harm our pets.
It’s true, BirdTricks and Parrotjoy make the BEST parrot toys. They keep my amazon busy, very busy.
Thank you, Julie! A busy beak is a happy beak!
This video should be shared on every site regarding birds! Thank you for educating the public❤️
Awww what a great personality Jinxi has!! He is so adorable. I'm going to order a box for my flick tonight!!
I’m so glad you have some awesome toys, thanks for this video!!
Thank you sooo much for your videos. Love you and you family .
Everyone one else:this will help with my parrot. Me: am I the only one watching this to help with my owls
I didn't know that we could get owls as pets lmao
microwavable black hole. My grandad rescues owls so we run an owl sanctuary
I watch for my parrot, but also my pigeons and wild rehab birds 🤣
sapphireblu76 r u being honest or are u just taking the mick out of me
@@user-bg1cv1fz4f I'm not mocking. I have a pet macaw and also do wildlife rehab. I have 2 pet pigeons. One came to me with a broken wing and BirdTricks flight training methods helped me to get her to fly again. I also use their training methods for fledglings to help them build flight muscles before release. I get owls, song birds, water fowl, etc. Don't tell the others, but the owls have been my favorite so far.
Thank you for showing that frayed bird rope. My Moluccan was climbing on his swing when I noticed the top frayed and he was working on it. I am so glad you warned us I promptly replaced it with a new one. My bird was not that thrilled about the new one but a slice of apple and pear nicely distracted him. My bird enjoyed his mystery box and is working on it now thanks.
Always enjoy your videos. It was fun watching Jinx. He is a joy! Great safe parrot toy tips. 👍🦜
Jinx is adoreable, beautiful, entertaining, AND funny!
I ordered the chunky box and the foraging box as well as the organic food mix. I’m excited. I know my greys will go chew crazy with them. Thank you for all your videos.
❤️🙏👍🏼
Only bell I would suggest is stainless steel cylindrical bell. Petsmart actually has a one that my love bird loved to ring even thought it was as big as he was. I think it would be ok up to a macaw sized maybe. but totally like a amazon or a grey. Its like a chime. its pleasant to hear too.
FANTASTIC video with wonderful advice.
Loved it & love you 💕😘💕
I've purchased several of the toy boxes. Both of my cockatiels love them.
I just got my pins! Morgan, Lefty and Comet so far. Beautiful quality and worth the wait!
This is the cutest video ever!!!!!!! OMG!! The busy boards are fantastic!
Thanks so much for this invaluable info!
Oh Jamie Leigh, you and Jinxy couldn't Be more adorable together! Actually I think it's good for people to be reminded that tricks take time to train, but he did both of them a little, just not on command quite yet
Thank you so much for sharing
I got Comet. Anyone else got Comet too? Comet's such a cutie patootie.
Comet's going to be the first one I get. His foot fascination fascinates me!
I wish the store was expanded to other countries, because shipping costs soooooo much! :c and i know i can truct the toys but the shipping is way too expensive bc I live in Portugal. :C
Yea for the natural feeding sistem is 100 USD to ship to romania 😔
Daria Dumitru the seasonal feeding can be purchased as a download and then you can have it printed yourself to save 💰
Yeah, shipping is crazy - especially nowadays - but you can contact us for a custom box 📦 so you’re getting more toys at once and we can specifically pick ones that won’t weigh a ton for shipping charges 💚 info@birdtricks.com
@@BirdTricks yea just realized 😅
@@BirdTricks That is great news and will definitely keep in mind when ordering to South Africa.
I guess Jinx was so curious who Jamie are talking with.
If you put a monitor besides camera, Jinx will figure out this is a filming.
What a character Jinx is!
Jinx is so adorable and handsome! 💙
thank you so much your content is amazing!!! i have learnt so much
I really have to make some changes. Thank you for the information.
The singing was adorable! Even with a bit of vibrato. 😁
kinda funny that you and marleen got your own bid toy lines named after your birds around the same time! Y'all plan this? lol
Yeah... they're competitors. Feels bad.
@@carolsdarksarcasm4223 I don't see it as a bad thing, hopefully they don't either. More choices is only good for the birds in the end.
I like so much to do homemade toys, recicling materials, speccially boxes, natural wood, plastics, we have in our house. Generally is so spensive to buy must of toys in the market. Jinx is so fun. He like singing
I’m buying a rescue bird from ronies super soon! The way they do things is so professional. I definitely recommend getting a bird from there. They do not run that business to profit money off of it, but to simply help birds find a home.
I really love the way the people at for the love of birds are handling things with the virus.
My Sun Conure has a bell that's about 1.5". He rings it when he wants attention, especially if I start to leave when he still wants to play.
“ Plastic is dangerous “
*goes to take it out of the birds cage at 4 am in the morning*
Thanks for all you guys do. Me and my little guys love your toy boxes and look forward to getting them. In one of your videos, you had lefty and Morgan flying outside in a netted area, can you tell me what kind of net that was and where you got it? I have conures and they fly around the house but would love for them to have a safe area outside to fly. Thanks.
I love how she had treats next to her knowing that they would fly to her
I don't even own a bird (YET! I'm in school studying to become an Ornithologist, so I'd find it a disgrace to me if I were to never get one. Soon hopefully!) but I still want to start buying some toys just to have stocked up and ready for when the day comes! My bird will have the best of the best from day one with me! Thank you for always being so amazing to everyone's birds!
Your video's are so fun to watch. I love your birds.
im so glad that ive found this channel because i plan on getting a scarlet or blue and yellow macaw in a few years sop im trying to get as much info about the dos and donts xD
Heavy metal toxicity can be caused by metal toys. Leaf and zinc are generally the metals that cause toxicity. Be sure that all the metal chains or skewers that are holding up your toys are either stainless steel or nickel plated. Chrome plated is also sometimes safe. Anything galvanized is unsafe. Aluminum is safe.
I meant lead and zinc are toxic and dangerous **
That Bub's!! XOXOXO Oh my gosh so adorable!!
Same reason why I don’t have a my bells in my birds cage or anything that they can see there reflection clearly on
As always, an education watching your videos....oh and entertaining too...Jinx is a trip had me laughing thru out....BONUS!!!
I am finally getting birds I love birds watch a lot of your videos and they have actually helped a lot with the type of birds I am getting. I have always wanted a budgie but I still live with my parents and they say no. My mom loves birds but livestock not parrots doves or pigeons. She has had chickens most of her life and she has decided that we are finally ready to get chickens I am so excited we are getting 12 hens and 1 or 2 roosters 🐓. Thank you so much bird tricks.
You even help with livestock bird care too even if you don’t realize it.😁
My family had a budgie 20 yrs ago and he had a Christmas bell that he fed and got hormonal with. If you wanted him to come back to his cage you ring the bell. He was very protective and kinda viscious.
You got the one little note 🎶 lol so darn cute 💕
Ok, what about kids toys ? I see so many videos where the have kids tiny toys. I’m always afraid of choking on a small piece but what do I know 🙈
Great video with lots of helpful tips and advice!
Jinx is so beautiful!! 🦜💙
Thank you for all the good info. I think it would be cool (if you haven't already) to do a video of mainstream toys that literally everyone buys and shouldn't (like a happy hut, I've seen a lot of those). Oh! And what do you think about mirrors??
Great info by the way! Thanks!
NO TOYS WITH FOAM. I HAVE Bamboo and make toys. I take the clacker out of the bells.
Thanks
My budgie died from getting tangled in a rope toy she wasn't strangled but we think she had a heart attack. I comment this on every bird video to spread the word.
I'm so glad you brought up bells! I had to take my cockatiel to the vet last year for metal poisoning caused by removing and swallowing the clapper of the bell. She made a full recovery but it was awful to see her in that state and since then I remove bells from all new toys.
You can try a stainless steel nut and a stainless steel wire to hang your clapper those are all inert. Stainless steel is used in surgeries in humans
Also jinxie!!!! You're so CUTE 😍😍😍😍! What a scamp!
Thank you 😊 so much for this video I am getting a cockatiel and I’ve been researching for months!
Jinxy is such a cutie! 🥰 Where i live there is no comercial safe toys, so after almost a year of research and reading i'm starting my own line of toys for parrots 💖🐦 this video was super helpful, it would be awesome if you guys could make another one listing all the things and materials that are safe to use.
Also, if anyone reads this and have info or links that could help me, i'll be glad to read them 😊 thanks!
And I just ordered a bunch from amazon. I'll be trying these next!
You really do make it hard to choose a toy for my birds that I feel safe giving to them.
Ingested rope can become impacted in the parrot’s craw/crop requiring surgery. I’ve heard several sad stories of conures, budgies, etc getting their foot entangled in a string & killing them selves trying to get loose. Very, very sad. My sun conure has multiple wood block toys but she ignores them for her kabob.
Another great video! Love your channel!
I'm looking forward to receiving my first mystery box of large parrot toys that is arriving today! I recently bought a few toys from chewy and really only one of them falls in line with your recommendations for safe toys.
I had to keep rewinding this to hear what you were saying because I couldn't stop watching him
I brought some yesterday! I brought the seasonal feeding books, pellets, bread and all the freebies. Thank you ☺️
I love watching your videos. They always make me laugh. You guys are adorable and deserve your own TV show!
I don't own a bird but it is great fun to learn about other animals and how they think. Now, though, whenever I watch other people's bird videos, I usually think they need to go watch your videos. I see all the things they are misinterpreting about their birds behavior or needs. usually think "they need to watch Birdtricks".
Your hair looks awesome today!
When you train a bird to talk do you just say the word ahead of times until the bird gets it and you give a treat?
I make my own toys for my bird and it's so nice to see that I've done my research properly so I use only safe materials. It's such a joy when I see my bird absolutely destroying the toys that I give and it takes it to another level when I know I did them myself. I would really love to buy one of the mystery toy boxes but unfortunately shipping is an issue in my country. I love your informative videos and your whole flock ❤❤❤
Jamie Lee how do you change your birds so good you’re amazing 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Great new toys and a great project
My cockatiels had a shredding toy with a tiny bell at the bottom and they loved playing with it.
