It's interesting how when ecuador started to focus on what you were asking him to do, he stopped screaming. I thought at first that he would scream through the whole training session, and start to think he was being rewarded for being loud.
screaming to you but birdie beauty songs to him, teeheehee
This video is far to pure for this world. The head bobbing they do just killed me😂
Same my cockatiel does it and it makes my heart melt
I love that you show us real time trainings. I learn so much more than if you were to just explain things without actually training an animal. Thank you!
training shows what u have to do so its good
Every action has an opposite reaction. So while she's "training" the birds (but can't even train her own kids and has the audacity to think she can observe other species especially superior ones like birds), the birds are also training her and are even more succesful at it.
This video motivated me to teach my birds all sorts of ridiculous stuff 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Thank you for the "Loud, random bird noises incoming" warning. haha
lol right? Jenday and Sun Conures (Very similar to the jenday, but yellow, green, and blue wings) are both amazingly gorgeous/adorable... and equally amazingly loud, especially for their size!
My cats go crazy with rhe sounds!
And thanks for the subtitles when he was yelling. It's a very thoughtful touch. 😂
I have spent months studying training a parrot and discovered an awesome website at Parrot Ploy Plan (check it out on google)
Yes, seriously! It gave me time to turn down my speakers so it wasn't overwhelming.
Wow I thought the clicker and target stick basics would take longer
Sometimes they do, it just depends on the teacher, the learner, and also how the two get along together as a team.
Like Jessi said, sometimes it takes longer... but parrots are SMART; generally, said to be equivalent to a 2~5 year old child. so, as long as you are clear and consistent with your training, they'll catch on very quickly, or give you a good sign that they just aren't interested right now. (and i do mean "right now"; parrots need lots of mental stimulation to stay happy, and things like a good training session can fill that niche very nicely.)
parrots are wicked smart. I was able to train my eclectus how to spin with just a little hand wiggle or voice command within a day.
they definitely learn a lot quicker than a dog
I have target trained my 14 year old cat. She can also sit, wave, shake hands, spin, jump, and stand. The both of us love our training sessions. Love your videos!
Love this! I was just offered an animal ambassador internship for this summer at the Audubon zoo in New Orleans, and part of it includes a training project. Love the content, Jessie 😊
Awesome!! You're going to have so much fun!
The training you did here is great! Ecuador got it very easily. I´ve been working with our dog Max since we adopted him. He used to get angry with other dogs in the street even ones that were on the other side of the street (he was a rescue) but with time, patience and alot of cookies and praise I can put him in focus mode where instead of looking at other dogs and getting mad he looks at me and stays happy instead. He´s also made a dog friend which I am very happy about. He´s come such a long way from the skinny scared street puppy he was. Now he´s a big happy ball of fluff who listens and trust me. Im so happy that he does. 🐶🐶🐶
I'm training my first bird (cockatiel) and I'm so happy that I watched this video and remembered it when I became lost in my training today. She so far knows "step up", "step down", and I'm trying to teach her that if she flies on me when I say "come here" she only gets a reward if she lands on my hand/arm instead of my face or head. Going to be working on target training and "wave" tomorrow along with the tricks she knows. 😁
Thank you, Jessie!
I was finding myself correcting you as I was watching haha it was interesting how you pointed out what you did wrong too! Shows that you're aware of yourself which is surprisingly difficult when training. Really interesting stuff though Jessie, bet you found it helpful to watch yourself back too so you can perfect your technique x
Even after years and years of doing something, there's ALWAYS room for improvement! Honestly I wish all my training sessions were on video so I could look back and analyze both our responses, subtle behaviors, and possible outside variables more closely.
@@animalwondersmontana at least in this day and age we have the ability to, although I'm sure it's not practical, especially if it's a 10 minute thing every day 😅 I'm a new zoo keeper and hoping to some day be the "go to gal" for all things training, it's so thrilling and rewarding!
@@Mslovelyxxx It's easier to just focus on the training and not think about where to set up the camera so it captures the important stuff. I've recorded session where my back is to the camera the whole time because the animal shifted position and I adjusted to them. Training sessions while I'm also focusing on talking to and making eye contact with the camera while getting the words coming out of my mouth right is a whole different experience, lol.
I'm currently training one of my cats to walk on a leash and harness so he doesn't have to go in a crate to the vets office (which he finds stressful due to trauma from before we got him). I've used the techniques you talk about in your videos and it's going quite well although hes a bit too clever for his own good and has started to plateau.
lmao! when i was much younger (ie, single digits), we had a cat, and thought it would be fun to take him on walks. this was long before the internet, and useful tips like these were widely available. i got as far as "taking the cat for a drag" and realized this was not something i was up for lol.. xD
A thing you can do to help a cat with crate trauma is to get a crate (side loading with a removable door is ideal) and place a comfy bed in it somewhere in a room the cat likes to hang out. Leaving treats or wet food can also help them get over the initial anxiety of going in.
I worry a bit about taking a cat in to the vet's on a leash since that puts them on the same level as dogs who might want to go after them
I teached my rats to spin, now they are spinning like a cartwheel every time i´m near something to eat. I cant ignore it, it just so cute. Although i know i have to
When Ecuador made that sound it wasn't so bad but then my cockatiel responded and OWWWW
Honestly that went far quicker than I expected. This bird is smart. Or at the very least very observant.
Amazing how quick Ecuador learned!
I watch all the videos put out even if they don’t pertain to me or relevant to me, cuz I wanna support this women. She is literally the definition of pure.
That was great...don't often see someone working with an untrained bird...good job!
I have two budgies who I have trained, its so fun to see exactly how their personalities come out in training. They've each got their own distinct wave even though I taught it to each of them the same way. Sometimes a strategy to try and teach a behavior will work like a charm with one while the other doesn't quite get what I want. Its a lot of fun!
Perhaps mother dearest you can assist me in training my ornery Dennis the menace gcc. Tell him to stop stealing my food lol
Hey don't look at me, I'm on Dennis' side. Either share your food or go somewhere else.
@@animalwondersmontana 😂😂😂 you're awesome
Lol
Glad to see you seeking advice from the professionals who know how to train and take care of parrots
Wait did you get a second green cheek? Or are you talking about Yoshi?
Ecuador's yelling is so funny, when there's a quiet moment and then suddenly "EEK EEK EEK!"
You are so helpful i wish all youtube channel’s were like you
My blue and gold macaw that I am adopting was trained as a baby but still needs free flight training, thank you though! I can use it for later. Im so excited
Joy is an absolute Joy! She just shows so much enthusiasm and I know that that comes from having an amazing bond with Jessi!
I think Ecuador has you trained! When he squawks, you give him food. Works every time! hahaha! I love you and all the animals (especially the birds).
Brilliant training as always. You bring so much joy to the session and the animals.
oh my gosh theyre both so smart. equador is such a spunky little guy. its so sweet to watch him go from nervous to confident with new situations.
Your enthusiasm is just wonderful!!
One of my old rats Cass knew the circle trick, but I called it ‘spin’. His treat bag had a very thick crinkly plastic so he got used to that sound meaning he’d get a reward. I had a cold and was digging for a cough drop out of the bag when I looked over to find him spinning frantic circles on the carpet. He heard the cough drop bag and thought we were working on tricks 😂😍
Cute~
that was amazing, this lady is really good at training birds. She taught that bird who had no prior training 3 separate tricks in like 5 minutes.
Woah!! This was absolutely delightful, you should definitely do more of these.
"any species"... *looks at snake* could I... should I...?
But seriously, besides hook training, is there anything you could do with a snake for enrichment? Or would it just stress them?
DarkkestNite I think you can target train( I think that’s what it’s called) snakes.
@@FishPondHaver Yes, you can!
DarkkestNite
What about insects?
Nillie yep! Especially bees. You can’t use a clicker but you can teach them object=meaning and time=action
@@animalwondersmontana gasp!! how??? please if we could get an instructional video or reply to this on how that would be amazing!! I would love to target train my BRB
Awesome! Joy is so cool! So is Jessie.
You have a real gift with animals! Ty for the training video. YOu explained it so well!
Target training in particular is extremely useful for species that could be dangerous if they have a strong feed response. Like target training komodos for feeding time so they can be safely handled for vetting and whatnot in zoos.
Anything can be trained with the right technique, from ants to fish, lizards to birds, mice to elephants! Patience is the key to success
Birds are such amazingly aware creatures they really crave new experiences, in a good relationship the human provides it with new and stimulating mysteries, in a sense the human and bird are mutual pets to eachother or more so than most pets and if the human is ready to learn their bird the bird is often eager to learn their human.
Joy is a wonderful bird i love to watch her :) and this video is useful, smart and real, thanks
Seriously amazing teaching excellent students
Loved this video so much! 😍🦜
Omg, Ecuador is a genius!!!!😘 good boy, such a quick learner!!!
Yay! Another bird video!
omg im so glad i stumbled onto this training video, this really encourages me to keep at it with training my rescued sun conure!
Waw Equador picked up so quickly !
Birds really are incredible!
I loooove this video!! Thanks Jessi ❤️
You both did great! Good job👍
This will help so much I have a trained kakeriki and two parakeet and this will help so much for my parakeet
Thank you for this wonderful video have been a fan of AWM for at least a year and have learned so much for you guys. I would ask a question, but everytime I come up with one you guys seem to answer it.
This video was so helpful, I was having a hard time finding a straightforward explanation of target training. I can't wait to try it out with my green cheek conure that will be coming home soon!
It’s so cute that she has a “pick me up” signal.
My rats twirl when ever they want treats. It is heart melting how eagerly they spin around and look at me expectantly.
Ecuador
Both of my birds just flew up and picked me. We live out in the desert, and our yard is like an oasis. We have lots of wild birds in the yard. I have a ringneck and a budgie. Both showed up at different times. The ringneck came like 3 or 4 years ago, and the budgie a month ago. They landed here, and here they are. The ringneck likes to crawl all over me, but he won't let fingers near him. He's just started letting me pet his toe, while he's on my finger. He'll take food from between finger tips, but not off of a flat hand.
Wonder why Augusto isn’t in title sequence anymore 😢
As always amazing content! I have 3 parrot babies and this is so helpful!
I actually went back to see and 😮
Probably because he’s not in the videos often. Makes it less confusing for new people coming to the channel.
I'm just hoping it's because he's rarely on camera. Not a divorce :/
Alina Pritchett tbh when I first started watching I just assumed they were being inclusive like both women and men are homo sapiens. I had no idea who jesse or augusto were
Thank you for sharing this! Not only was it really interesting to see a first session, Ecuador did so well! Would love to see updates on his progress ^_^
I want to install Ecuador's yelling as my car alarm!
Love your animals
I was wondering if parrots tend to imitate the noise of clicker after a while. I have a refuge for parrot and would love to start training them but I’m afraid that they will start to make the clicking noise after and drive each other crazy XD have you had that problem?
Mel Pascal
Well they imitate it because they think that it’ll get them a treat but if you ignore it they’ll SLOWLY stop.
That training with Ecuador the conure was AMAZIIIIINNNGGG
Your videos are so amazing
Thanks a lot 😊
Very smart birds!
Yess! We love the bird videos :)
Hi! Animalwonders I have notifications on so I got this video right away :)
I have a question, my 2 budgies that are kinda tamed but they are scared of fruit and vegetables, Do you have any tips on this behalf?
What do they enjoy eating? Most budgies eat a seed mix or small pellets. Try chopping the produce very small and mixing it in with the food they like to eat. Go for a gradual lean into it. Texture is usually the most important determining factor for if a bird likes a food or not. Try moistening their pellets and mixing in the little tops of broccoli and cauliflower that's the same size as their pellets. Or sprout their seed mix so the texture changes from crunchy to soft and then mix in broccoli bits and finely diced apple.
AnimalWonders Montana Thank you so much for replying so quick! I will be sure to try this!
@@terrariaslash Both of those tips from Animal Wonders are my top tips as well, I have an extreme picky eater on my hands and the broccoli and finely diced apple mixed with millet trick was a life saver! One other thing that helped with my budgies as well was me nibbling on fruits and veggies in front of them and showing them videos of other budgies eating similar fruits and veggies. Budgie are way smarter than most people give them credit for and they do take visual clues and tips as to what is safe and edible both from watching other birds and from watching their human flock!
@@SeabassFishbrains This comment is amazing. I love that you ate veggies infront of your birds to show them that it was safe to eat. Thats incredibly sweet.
@@SailorGamer lol, another bird owner recommend it to me and I was really desperate to get Spock to eat his darn vegetable XD
I got so excited every time he did the tricks! I want a bird so bad! One day!
I love Ecuador’s noises :-)
Its a Joy to watch! ❤️
yashwanth venkatesh Good one!
I have been saving all your training videos! You are absolutely amazing
It’s my dream to have a parrot ❤️
I love this sun conure. Hope I manage to get one soon 😊
There is so much professional advice on dogs and cats but very little on parrots and in my opinion parrots are difficult because they are so different from the other pets we keep. Parrots are naturally very dependant on their flock and have such strong instincts that we can easily make mistakes with them or misunderstand them. Love your channel and everything you do for the animals. Thank you.
all these youtube channels are really great for info though. I'd love more as well, but compared to a decade back, it's almost like coming from a desert to a lush garden. it's true, we've kept parrots for hundreds of years or more... but that's also very little compared to the thousands of years for dogs and cats.
What a beautiful bird. I never new about the Jenday, now I need to find a breeder in my area. Not worried about them being noisy.
I just love Ecuador. What a personality
ecuador did so well!! i'm so proud of him :')
I love this video!! I would enjoy to see more training sessions with parrots. I have a white belly caique and would love to get some ideas and the proper training techniques.
Great video!
I knew it was a jenday before i even looked 😂 the screaming
Good video and the birds are so cute :)
This was very neat! I've trained my eclectus to turn on command, recall to me, and fly to her cage. Right now I'm working on refining a behavior to turn off light switches and just starting to teach her to turn the other way. I've tried teaching wave, but after a few failed step-ups, she just gets frustrated and stops even trying, so I figured I'd wait for a while on that one lol
Macaws are beautiful!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for the warning before Mr Loud came out 🤣 I have a pineapple conure named Korben who would have been flying around screaming if he’d heard this!
Great video! Going to get myself a clicker and see how we do. You make it seems easy so I’ll just take my time with Korben.
Ecuador is a star! Such a sweet and smart bird. . .and trainer :)
Great video. Please make more videos about training.
>TH-camrs who put a "loud sound" warning beforehand
You're the real MVP!
Thankyou so much for showing all that information, knowledge and experience.
Can I train my cockatiel?
What can I teach him?
He loves human contact.
He lives head and neck scratches.
So sweet 🐦❤️
Great video! We just got a Sun Conure named Happy! We look forward to doing some training with him! Question for you... what do you use for treats for a Conure?
I'm getting a puppy tomorrow and I'm so excited to try clicker training with her!
I love you Joy!
Please do more bird training videos l love them
adorable ❤️
You always amaze me Jessi. My bird has me trained rather well...I can't say the reverse is true though - LOL!
Dad admires conures in the pet store and I always remind him that those little guys are especially loud. XD
there's 2 "genus" (major subspecies) of conures: Aratinga and Pyrhurra. Aratinga includes Sun and Jenday (like Ecuador) among others, and they are slightly larger, as well as much louder and much "flashier" in coloring. Pyrhurra conures, like the Green Cheek Conure, are smaller and have much softer voices, and tend to predominantly green in coloration.
if noise isn't an issue, Aratingas genus conures are absolutely gorgeous. Pyrhurra genus conures are much "gentler" in volume, if you live somewhere like an apartment.
that said; quietER is not the same as straight up quiet! Pyrhurras (and basically any small parrot, really) can be plenty loud when they feel like it!
Wow, so cute.
Always end training on a good note!
Thanks for the great vid. Just wanna ask my blue fronted amazon is super scared of palm and fingers. But she is willing to step up on my forearm. Any tips for training her to be not afraid of hands?
Hi thanks for great video, can I ask how do you know what is their favorite treat ?
I have a Sun Conure. Definitely am sort of used to the loudness haha!! Not sure if I'll ever be fully used to it LOL
Do you wear any kind of hearing protection around loud animals? You know hearing damage is irreversible :[
Also, will you do a video on recall training for birds? I’m very interested in trying it out. Thank you! :)
I just got a new parakeet and now I have three and they all love each other
The three parakeets names are Spirit fire and snow🦜🦜🦜🦜🦜🦜
Ecuador was amazingly smart!
