I don't know who keeps inventing these new kinds of bird but let me tell you, they nail it every time. These are some sweeties.
I can send you some the designs for cool new birds if you want. You do need a 3d printer though
Apparently, there's around 10,000 species of birds!
The Government keeps one upping it's game. Soon those feathered spy drones would prove to be too adorable (well, they already are but we can still manage them)
Sad that the owner had the allergic reaction but also kinda nice to hear a story where they were clearly loved instead of neglected
Yeah. I was ready for a neglect story, but got something much better. Glad they were able to get these birds a new home. I wonder if the previous owner has seen this video.
supersmilyface1 Agreed

Animal Wonders has made me realize how amazing and fairytale like our world is, especially the creatures on it. 😊
OMG, these birds are gorgeous! I've never seen them before. Really looking forward to seeing them getting settled and living a good life in their new environment.
Shoutout to the national bird of Swazliland!
!!! That's a wonderful fact to know 🌈
You mean Swaziland/eSwatini?
@@retf8977 I would expect. Likely just made a typo
Sunny's little crest puffing up as she eats a blueberry is just too freakin' cute for words.
Turacos! Magical birds from my childhood. Marvellous to see them interacting with a human so bravely: go Sunny and Sprite !
Where are you from, and what kind of environment do the birds live in?
Gorgeous Birds, is so gentle of how you treat them this is so sweet oh my Sunny is so pretty
Omg the are hair icons I love them
I love seeing when your hard work paid off and the animal start to trust you. Seeing sprite take food from your hand is just so awesome. 😂
Look at those tiny dinos! Turacos are the only truly GREEN birds in nature. Every other green bird has green from the structure of their feathers combined with yellow pigments, turacos have their own unique green pigment in the feathers!
Wow! I didn't know that. I knew about the rarity of _blue_ pigment in the animal kingdom, but not about the rarity of green pigment in birds.
Structural colour is so fascinating. I remember the first time I saw a Blue Morpho specimen drenched in alcohol (which interferes with the structural colour), and the sped up footage of the blue colour coming back as it dried- it really made an impression on me.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
They're so pretty! So nice to see how patient you are with them as they get used to all these new things.
I think her favorite word is , awesome
Awesome! 😂
You are really awesome ma'am ❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@animalwondersmontana You are Awesome!
@@animalwondersmontana Hi ma'am I want to talk to you about how to switch my cockatiel parrot from a diet of sunflower seeds to a
more healthy diet because he eats only sunflower seeds , please reply 🙏🙏🙏🙏
@@kanishkshahi5691 Look up the TH-cam channel BirdTricks (Animal Wonders did a collab with them once). They have a ton of videos on what's a healthy diet for parrots and how to transition birds onto it.
Just out of curiosity: Is there a reason Sunny seems much more calm around you and is more accepting of being touched? Like did she have more human interaction then Sprite before coming to animal wonders? Or is just a difference in their personalities?
Yes, that's exactly what happened. Sunny was handled quite a lot as a baby and when Sprite was introduced to the household she was both bullied by Sunny and also didn't get the same kind of interaction Sunny did. I was told Sprite never felt comfortable taking food from a hand let alone being touched.
Axolotl. Great question, it was really apparent how much more at ease Sunny was, and how skittish and wary Sprite was. I have no doubt that Sprite will be totally comfortable with her new care team in no time at all. Sprite is a real beauty, Sunny is too, but once she gets her sea legs I suspect that Sprite will be showing everyone who the Boss is.🖤🇨🇦
Wow she's beautiful and watching her making so much progress is so satisfying. Thank you so much Jessi for sharing your knowledge with us. Love from Mauritius ❤
Is there a reason Sunny specifically has to wear a harness instead of using jesses like Rook and Hera do?
Good question! I've known some facilities that use anklets and jesses on their turacos, but a harness is more appropriate equipment for turacos due to the difference in leg strength between turacos and raptors. If we absolutely can't get Sunny to accept a harness, we may move toward using anklets and jesses, but it would definitely be less jdeal.
I've never even heard of this species before!
I love the close up camera, a great way to get up close and personal with the birds in a way that isn't intrusive!
they are beautiful! And so brave and responsive! The last one expecially!
Ive known them for 10 seconds and I already love them
Congratulations on the two newest (avian) dinosaurs to join the Animal Wonders family! I hope they continue to thrive in their new home!!
Very nice looking birds. These should not be in the pet trade though like toucans so that part was disappointing but glad there in better hands now. Hopefully they adjust and become good ambassadors to help inform about there kind. Thats a good brand of pellet too, nice they will be getting quality food.
Curious as to why you think they should not be pets
These two are lovely new additions to your animal family. I think you will have them as enchanting and engaging ambassadors in no time at all given their relative ease with you already. I am also pretty sure they will have more play and enrichment in their new lives than had they remained pets of a single family (no matter how hard the family tried). You are so good with ALL your charges, and I believe they instinctively know you are a safe person for them to trust. You may just have received a couple of new fan favourites...I just find them all beautiful and amazing...no favourites here. Stay safe and healthy while you ensure the same for your charges.🖤🇨🇦
My begnal/savanna mix (*Nala-Boujie*) is officially one month into her toilet training, but I still am having to pick my battles in regards to the harness and the furry Houdini.
I loved this video of these two beauties, and Nalabou enjoyed it as well!!
Here's to a life-long happy ambassador duo!
Have you ever sneezed at just the wrong time while training? Did it set bach the training?
Or accidentally move too fast or get too excited?
Holy cow!! the colors on the purple and green are incredible!!
Wow! Those are beautiful birds. Especially Sunny. She's stunning.
aw! so cute, beautiful birds!
oh wow! I've seen these birds in exotic bird books but I had no idea people kept them as pets! They're lovely
Sunny and Sprite are beautiful birds. I think Sunny will be a great ambassador too. You and your family are such so blessed. Thanks for the video and take care and be safe.
I've never heard of turacos before. They are so beautiful! I hope they're happy with you guys. 😊
Thanks!
💜💚
Turacos are such cute bird's
Who enjoys blueberries more, Sunny or Zeema?
Ahh the ol' "Fear vs. Food" a.k.a the only reason I interact with most people. Maslows hierarchy of needs makes the thought process pretty simple for all creatures
On the danger scale: Starvation > social anxiety
On the one hand it's very easy to empathize with animals that aren't use to, or are already afraid of human interaction: but actually interacting with other humans......eh not nearly as easy, even if it's typically less dangerous/likely to result in getting nipped or scratched. Hahaha keep up all the wonderful work! Love your channel!
New type of bird that I now know of, adorable.
Also, it seems most birds that eat fruit love blueberries, from what I've seen.
Didn't even know these birds exist. They're so pretty!
Beautiful birds. It's interesting the way you communicate & train them, it's similar using the positive reinforcement to "It's me or the dog" lol. 😆✌
they are so brave! what amazing progress a week into living in a new space with new people. such good birds!
A high end per store locally had one f these couple years ago....2400 without cage. It was amazing in person, it was red crested. So beautiful and blew my mind.
wow Jessie their trust is amazing!! i cant believe this is just about a week of work!
Turacos are so cool! I’ve always wanted to know more about them! Looking forward to more about Sunny and Sprite!
The colors on these birds is insane! Nature is wild yall
Hi I love your vids so informative of birds and other animal
What a treat to see such beautiful birds!
I’ve never seen these birds before but I’m totally in love with them! Can’t wait to see more of them
Omg they are beautiful!
Jesse, I would love to see a tour of your facility. I love what you do! You always have these new spaces popping up. Also you never really talk about your domestic animals.
You should do another video showing all your birds!
Such beautiful birds never seen before 😯
Don't the turacos have a family member who is called "go away bird"?
They are very beautiful! I imagine the little dinosaur ancestors of birds to look a bit like them.
Thank you very much!
Yes the grey-turaco or go-away bird is part of the same family.
Absolutely stunning birds.
Gorgeous birds ! I'm so glad they ended up in such a loving place where they'll get lots of attention and enrichments !
Wow it is so neat to see your training in action! Love all your work. These cuties seem super special.
They are so beautiful! Best of luck for their care and training going forward!
Awesome Birds!! Thanks.
Wow, what beautiful birds! Thats major progress with them!!
I really love seeing the training, keep up the great work!
Omg! They are beautiful!!!! I love you so much, Jessi! I have learned SO much about animals and I can’t wait to learn more :)
such beautiful birds, gl with their training!
your videos brighten my day
Awesome! Welcome!
What amazing birds! I've never heard of turacos before this, I've got some reading to do this week!
Beautiful! ☺️
Those birds are so pretty! It looks like training is going nicely so far!
They are so beautiful!
I love turacos, really cool education birds.
I love your bird videos:D I watched them all the time at school
Amazing birbs!

Sprite's eyeliner is inspiring. Gorgeous birds
Are you hiring anyone to help out? I am mesmerized by all the creatures you all care for.

I am excited to see these two become animal ambassadors and show their personalities as they grow into the life and work of Animal Wonders.
😍😍😍so cute!!!
I love this channel
Wow they are so strange looking but so adorable 😍
Gorgeous and the birds are pretty to
Oh thank you for the harness training demonstration. I have 2 green cheeks conures that I would like to train to accept a harness. Would you consider making a video of the overall progress with training a bird to accept a harness?
hurray!
Omg Your Guy's Turaco's Are Beutiful!
And Sprite Reminds Me Of Cockatiels
OMG they are gorgeous.
love them, I hope you get the great blue one and the violet color
Nice hair styles!! 😁
The turacos look very cute though. Hope to see them in more videos.
They're beautiful
Just gorgeous birds! TY guys SO much for what you do & loving and caring for these animals
Thank you! Amazon has been doing that a lot lately and I don't know why. Can you send an email to animalwondersmontana@gmail.com and I can give you a different mailing address, we have a volunteer that has offered to accept packages when Amazon won't deliver to our po box.
@@animalwondersmontana Will do, thank you!
There soooooooooo cute!!!!!!!
Ur been helping me learn about pets bc i want to help pets to!
Hi Jessi :)
Hi
They are soooo pretty
So glad you had space for these beauties! What happened to Tika the white cheek turaco?
This made me miss working with turacos, horrendous poop but worth it
Sprite reminds me of a rescue cat I have. She will come forward, snatch away a treat, then eat it further away from me.
Soooo pretty!
can you do a harness training vid? i would be very helpful!!!
Wow they’re awesome what sort of noises do they make ? Can you teach them to say things like parrots do ?
They make an interesting call! Nothing like a parrot and they don't mimic. You should Google their call so you can hear it, you won't regret it!
Can you do another video showing all your birds please?
How sad for that former owner! I couldn't imagine having to give up my pets. At least they were able to come to such an amazing new home!
It was a really hard one. I'm so grateful when I know the previous owners love their animals and only want the best for them. My heart breaks for their loss and grief. If they want to, I keep an open line of communication and updates however frequently they need them until the hurt subsides a bit.
@@animalwondersmontana that's amazing to hear that you offer that piece of mind for the owners should they want/need that :)
Can u please make a rabbit where what and how thx.
