I'm looking forward to this series with Cockatoos.
Totally would like to know how Bliz progressed. Looking forward to additional videos with Bliz and everyone. Thank you.
I know you are extremely busy but if you ever get a moment watch Buster the Cockatoo. He is a hoot!
Why is there importance placed on birds bathing. Jamie speaks of introducing birds to a daily shower. Do birds get dirty?
@@helensemrau7442 They have to bathe because it helps control their powder down and prevents them from getting too itchy. It also helps keep their respiratory systems healthier due to the powder down. It can also reduce feather destructive behaviors in some. They are a high-humidity species. It natural-- in the wild they get rained on and wet from dew in trees etc. You don't use soap or anything (do not put anything in the water)...you don't spray them in the face and you don't put them to bed wet etc. You do have to watch them though because mine will dunk her head and get water in her nares (in a problematic way)!
They also do collect whatever is in the air in the environment. An umbrella owner should already have a variety of ozone-free air purifiers with non-UV settings, but the stuff in the air gets on their feathers...so does whatever is on your hands.
Jamie: I'm afraid of cockatoos. I don't like working with cockatoos.
Also Jamie: is married to a cockatoo
Ah, you got this Jamie. You've handled all kinds of other birds, and while this one is not your favorite kind of parrot to work with I have a feeling he might turn out to be one of the best you've worked with.
I’ll admit, it’d be so entertaining to watch her with this species 💖🥰🤣
It's like gaming
In my mind, I'm fast forwarding six months as Jamie introduces us to her new flock of cockatoos!😂
Dave documenting your body language, lol!
At 2:18 when Dave mentions him being your next project bird, it almost sounds like Blizz replies with 'probably' 😂
It does!! 🤣
I noted him mimicing a lot of what the people were saying. He likely latched onto the phrase 'Project bird" and that's where Prr--b-rr came from.
It sounded to me like he laughed
I think its some of that peer pressure ( that they talk about at the end. )
I’ve had my Cockatoo (Name is Heaven) since she was 8 weeks old! I hand fed her until she was a year old. She’s almost 2 now. They are known to be a cuddlier. She loves cuddles! I myself have done research on them prior to getting her and still do and I will say she is amazing. Never has bit anyone. You raise them the way you want them to be. Now, she can get loud when she doesn’t have your attention but I always make sure she is included in every meal we have! She goes everywhere with my husband and I. If I’m washing dishes, she helps! Folding laundry, she helps! Big tip: Include them in what your doing they’re like 2 year olds. Wouldn’t trade her for anything! So glad I got her at a very young age so I could discipline her the proper way! She’s definitely loves both me and her dad! Since you work with other parrots, you got this! :-)
And because of what you just said and watching other good bird owners I know 100% I should never own a bird. Not even an "easy" bungie. I really like them.. I'd like to visit them if I had a friend owner.. but I'm so totally confident I would not make a good bird owner. Let alone a cockatoo. It's so sad people buy these birds before knowing what they are getting into. Please don't unless you are willing to do what Wendy just wrote above.. This bird will become YOUR ENTIER LIFE. 24x7. You really ready for that?
Exactly. This cockatoo goes everywhere he is allowed with his flock. Studying the natural behavior is a great model for what a ‘too would expect of you! 😹
Our Molly is 17. She has been here since she was a few months old. Drives us mad sometimes (like any child) but she is part of the family.
Blizz is so cute, chattering and bobbing up and down and doing happy feathers! Just so adorable. I love the U2s.
U2's are literally my favorite my female U2 Baby is exactly like Blizz. She use shoulder rush and get scared of stuff and excited before adapting her and etc. Has pretty much same personality. My male U2 is more relaxed and doesn't get himself into much trouble.
love how he try's to interact with you guys while you are talking :)
I have to hide either in my garage or outside when I'm on the phone. Between my U2 going at it and my Amazon telling him to stop it I can't talk 😂. Automated phone systems are just a no go 😂🤣. My birds jad me and a customer service lady laughing so hard we were both in tears once!! She actually called coworkers over so they could hear the insanity 😂🤣😂🤣
I'm so excited to see his progress! He has the best chance with you! He sure loves dave... his "little sweet nothings" while on dave was so cute.
Sooo.. I see you found Onni's long lost brother. Lol. Just kidding
haha!
Jamie, you do have that magic touch! Thinking everything will be fine, and hopefully you will let us know how it's going. Thank you
The owner mentioned that she does not cuddle with Blizz, I think he's probably starving for affection which is why he attached himself to Dave who displayed affection by petting him... birds need to feel that they are loved.. 💕🕊️
I'm so excited to watch this!! I think it's awesome that you are facing your fears for the benefit of helping an animal find its natural balance and peace. I'm inspired.♡
I LOVE blizz!!i I’m looking forward to seeing the series for so many reasons. Particularly for blizz to get the healthy diet he deserves, for Jamie to learn to love an Umbrella (maybe?), and for me to try to get some tips on diet converting my parrotlet
Same
It's adorable how much Dave likes this bird😊
I can't wait to hear more about this bird! I bet his feathers will look amazing after he converts his diet and likes bathing!
I have a 29 yr. old U2. Best advice...don't let him get scared. You can tell the excited over stimulation but fear happens much faster. I've only been bite twice. Once when one of the macaws took off flying and once when he got his toe caught in the cage and was hanging upside down. I tried to help him and he held on to my thumb for dear life. If he gets over stimulated, let him get the energy out but back up and let him do it by himself. Keep the environment calm. Good luck! U2s are my favorite bird. ❤️
As a fellow U2 mom, I agree!! You can also tell them over and over, "it's ok" and explain what's going on and why they don't have to be sacred. That's what I do with mine.
Who can resist those soulful eyes, and the intelligence and mischief reflected in them?!
Hes so adorable. I agree though, they are extremely temperamental and will lunge for no reason. Go at your own pace and you will do awesome. So excited for you.
Yet I allowed a U2 to preen my eyebrows and lived to tell the tale. I trusted him and was rewarded.
@@spiritmatter1553 lmao fiesty birds. I looked after a friend's Goffin, sweetest bird then 3 days in he began lunging at me. Like going for the kill.. I was like.."nope" I will stick to my AG and GCC lol.
I have six moluccan cockatoos. Each one is a individual with a distinct personality. One female that I've had for 25 years has never nipped at me once. Two other females that I've had for a similar length of time sometimes pinch me if I'm not giving them my undivided attention when their sitting on me. It's important to note though that it's a pinch and not a bite. The three males that I have can be a bit unpredictable but over the last 25 years I found that you can redirect their attention and it doesn't take very long to calm them down.
I see so many people with these particular cockatoos on TH-cam, Facebook reels and Tiktok thinking it's cute to teach them a whole bunch of hyped phrases and words and hype them up on purpose, not understanding their body language. They're going to be really surprised if they ever get bit.
Several of the ones I've seen treat the bird like a dog, cuddling and petting it in ways that the bird understands as a mating behavior.
Exactly! They are really great birds. You can see the hyper over stimulization coming. I have always worked with these birds in a quiet place away from anything scary, like other birds, pets, and usually people. I calm mine by petting the head smoothing the crest down. It hasn't always worked on other U2s I've worked with.
Yep... Their behaviour looks similar to corollas... If the head bobs... Watch out!
PS it's sometimes hard to watch. Heaps of psychotic behaviours are recorded as cute...
Yay! This will be the funniest series ever!
I'm so excited!! Not to birbsplain (especially since every birb is different) but I do have an emotional bird, and found that Treats never work, so excitement, play and toys are your main "treats" and short but frequent training throughout the day between breaks to calm down. Works for me and I wish all the luck! If you figure out how to get them to take treats let me know!!!
There are no birbs, only birds! ☺️
@@lottatroublemaker6130 There are no birds, only birbs!
Know how you feel, I volunteer at a bird sanctuary and the cockatoos have a reputation for being psychos. Adorable but would think carefully about bringing one home 😬.
That being said, it sure would boost your YT viewership, I would totally watch that 😁
I'm happy your doing this but I couldn't help laughing just seeing how scared you looked
I can’t believe this bird didn’t go after your hat, earring, watch or camera.
Really good job redirecting and anticipating.
Training, I train parrots which are on another level I won't get into detail but yeah I train wild parrots and it is always insane because you can't force anything they can just fly off at any point you guys are good no doubt but I would say common these are challenges once overcome nothing remains.you got this
Yeah I have experienced that too
True
You got this jamie
You are your own worst enemy. Seem like you obsess about the unknown. Have been watching you for a while. You have a amazing talent. Take 5 in deeply. Slowly 5 out. Repeat . Then face your fear. You find ways to get things done!
No matter how old I get, I'll n e v e r lose my fascination for & awe of cockatoos...Everything about them just obsessively enchants me...I'm beginning to entertain the thought of perhaps looking into adopting an older rescue who needs lots of loving attention...I've so enjoyed your channel for a long time & how seriously educational it is...!!!
I can relate to the fear of cockatoos! They’re so big, and are so over the top that it’s pretty scary! I will take training a macaw over a cockatoo any day 😅
Some macaws have very unpredictable personalities too. Take my Catalina Macaw Amelia for example. She is up in the windowsill right now yelling “Agh!!” At the dogs.
I trained over 22 cockatoos and have two U2's and one rule is never show fear. U2 especially pickup on fear very quickly and use it to their advantage. I remember when harness training my female U2 Baby last owners couldn't and stated they tried for years and she would just bite them. I harness trained in in one day, yes she lunged and would hiss and click but over a few hours kept trying and called her bluff and once she allow it pass over her head rest was easy. She next day associate it with going outside and actually helped me put it on by lifting wing and lower head to put it on her.
They know how to intimate you and manipulate you they are literally that smart. Yes you have to be careful and watch body language but at same time be firm when training. Cockatoos especially U2's are very smart and train better then most birds trained over the years. They pickup very quickly and adapt quick.
They don't train the same like most birds as they can't be bribe easily with treats as most birds you can and know how to manipulate the situation in their favor?
For Blizzard's sake, I hope you will consider bringing in an umbrella cockie that eats the proper diet and bathes like a bird to eat with him, bathe with him and generally spend time with him. Species' mates can work wonders with "pets" who have learned bad behaviors from people. Sometimes it's quicker and less painful for the trainer. I hope for his life and health you succeed!
My partner and I watched part 1 of Blizz. They've been bugging me everyday asking if there's a new video. We've been calling him popcorn lol. We both are excited to see more of him!
I know nothing about birds but watch TH-cam birds.. but it looks like he want's to be a good boy but doesn't know how. Like he doesn't know how to calm down and then just goes to 11 because it's so fun. Look forward to seeing how you can help him! He's lucky to have his mom. She's great! Like she said "what ever is best for him" and she's really trying.
He sounds like a bird version of R2D2. I hope this helps him out because he seems like a sweet bird.
Every time I get out my mom’s umbrella cockatoo on my own terms it’s always a great time and she’s really sweet. I only get bit when I’m uncomfortable and she knows it
Birds pick up on energy like that so well. My macaw does the same thing.
@@MrJdubz100 animals are all about energy. With any animal I interact with I make sure to be calm. When they pick up on that it makes a less stressful environment for everyone.
I'm with you Jamie Leigh! The times when I listen to others about Anything, against my own better judgement, it never goes well. Sounds like you're in for continuing to stand up to hubby's pressure as well! As I'm no "spring chicken" and have been through it a time or two, you have my complete support for doing your skilled work with this bird...on your own terms. (if anyone will be stepping up, hopefully, it will first and foremost Dave, with his skills, to support this process as agreed
This cockatoo is why I love cockatoos. So funny and independent and goofy and their own TV show. My eclectus reminds me of a cockatoo more and more and is getting more difficult to calm down as he ages, but his diet is on point at least, he's just hyper. I wish Jamie and Dave could work with us!
Umbrellas and Goffins are two parrots that I just can't understand their behavior and it freaks me out though they're so cute and fun
Man what a combo. A woman who isn't thrilled about umbrellas and a SUPER excitable umbrella. Watching Dave tease you about it was pretty amusing TBH.
On the serious side Jaimie no doubt has the skills if she can get beyond her umbrella aversion and both her and the bird could grow from this.
Awesome. He's going to be a whole load of crazy and fun all rolled into one. Excited to watch things unfold. 💛
I love this, JaimeLeigh. It will be great! I believe in you. Blizz is constantly hyper now. But he will be a birdie after you train him. 😍😍😍
He will win you over in no time. I like looking at Cockatoos but would never have one or get one to step up as their beaks scare me 😄
I love Blizz and I feel like he'll be the U2 to get Jamie to at least be ok with umbrella cockies. And Dave's "what about for the bird" was great
I understand Cockatoos I understand the fear, my Cockatoo used to be so lovable the hormones hit and sudden stink eye looks a bloody painful attacks. Their moods change on a dime. So I chose to use the bird’s intelligence where I tell him to get in his cage, before I enter. He listens, so now I can still talk to him, and give him attention. I’m safe, and fully aware that he could trick me, into “come here, give me a kiss, just for him too say it’s ok after biting me. Not giving up, trying to give him a good life, he is so damn smart. I love having full conversations with him. Just don’t want him too attack me, cuz it hurts! I keep trying too learn thru many knowledgeable bird trainers, like Bird tricks, and others too help me be more aware. I think it’s essential if u are a bird owner
Our Molly is 17. She has been here since she was a few months old. Very easy to look after. She eats spuds veg fruit etc. (carrots, cabbage, kale, peas, broadbeans, oranges, fresh nuts etc) Pet shop bought Nuts and seeds once a week as a treat. One thing she loves is mashed spuds with scrambled egg. Part of the family, and she calls me Daddy.
I love the way Jamie stares at birds when considering a plan…… lol
How about this for an idea, See how you feel after a day or two it may be that this is the one to help you out of your fear or visit a Kinesiologist who will be able to help through muscle testing and various other techniques. Remember Storm now you have Blizz the interrupting Cockatoo. Either way, I look forward to seeing each of you learn from and teach each other.
He is so cute and you are so awesome for doing this for him!
congratulations on your first Umbrella Cockatoo Project, won't miss a thing! You Got This Jamie !!!!!!
OMG Jamie working with a cockatoo. For the love of everything out there Jamie, please record and share with us!!. But seriously, I think it will be good for both you and Blizz. You both will learn something from it. ❤
I’m so excited to watch you work with this bird! 👏👏👏
Oh I'm excited for this!!! I love umbrella cockatoos!!!
Omg Jamie. You are awesome! Overcoming your fear to help this guy be a better bird. 😊🥰. Hope we get to see at least some of his progress on TH-cam.
I have a 27 year old female umbrella who showers with and and loves it.. I live your doing an umbrella there are a lot of us struggling with these crazy bird.
this will be so rewarding for him and for you !! as you said he will and you will lean so much with this aventure !
6:44 when she said "i've tried" ,the cockatoo said "So far.." ! Lol
u got this like you always do, cockatoos are really fun to be with once they bond with you. Goodluck!!! Have the best day ever!!
You're going to end up having a very special place in your heart for U2's Jamie!!! I'm loving this SO much!!
Watch - Jamie will take the bird and it’ll be trying new food on day day 1 and fully eating new diet by end of week one lol
Yay! The 3 of you working together will make a beautiful bird! Blizz is AWSOME! I could watch videos of him just on his perch all day...he’s very funny! So are the 3 of you together.❤️💋😊
I’m so much looking forward to the videos! 💜
Jamie, you do what you think is right for you. Thank you.
I'm so excited! I have a male U2 with the simular issues. I will be following closely ♡ you 've got this !
Omg yesssss, i cant wait to watch this series. You are gonna have such a blast with him, and you're both gonna learn so much from each other. I predict hes gonna be stuborn but easy to teach tricks so get ready for plently of waves.
Cannot wait to see the transformation 😊🦋
Jamie, you can do this. Overcome your fears and you’ll be better off in the long run. No pain no gain. Looking forward to seeing how you and the bird interact.
That bird loves him so much. 🤣
I must admit, this would be the most entertaining series to watch! I’d love to see you guys (and by you guys I mean Jamie 🤣) take on such a massive personality while keeping all of your digits in tact 🙏🏼
Oh wow, when will this happen? So excited to learn more from you guys, plus your very entertaining 👍🏽🎉
🤣They can be quite scary especially when they go on a mad one but there very loving
Good grief he’s a charmer 😍
Never to be underestimated!
After seeing you guys with Blizz I'd love to see you guys with my umbrella. She's similar in many ways (stuck on zupreem, drops anything you offer her, minimal interest in training, hard to find rewards, etc) but where she differs is she doesn't get heightened and over the edge like many cockatoos. She's actually fairly hard to get amped up at all. She just gets hormonal but in a cuddly way where she just hunkers down and pants like a dog 😶
I think she'd be the first umbrella Jamie would fall in love with 😉
Wow!!! Jamie, can’t believe you’ve agreed to this!!! Go girl! If anyone can do a diet conversion, it’s you!!!
Deleting my prior question because duh, just watch the vid. Good on you for helping out a cockatoo. I just foster failed the umbrella cockatoo that invaded our home in October, so I'll be very interested to see your progress with Blizz so I can get ideas for my girl. She's a plucker at this point but her feathers are starting to come back in and I'm hopeful that she'll eventually have enough to fly.
Also, my girl is scared of spray bottles but I got her your aloe spray and she seems to enjoy that now.
Jamie I have the perfect umbrella for you to get over your ?fear?. She's sweet as can be to literally everyone. Honestly she's so sweet I think she was dropped on her head when she was an egg, and she's hard to trigger. Perfect bird 😂
P.S. I'd love to see how Bliz does because I have the same problems with my umbrella. My sulphur crested would steal the food out of my mouth if he could and likes showering with me so no problems there. (that one is a sweetie pie as well to everyone - I got super lucky)
New sub take lots of videos!
It's a good idea to first handle him when you are relaxed. He can feel your nervous energy. Dave is very chill and connects with him quickly. No fear
Can't wait to see him on your hand Jamie. You guys are amazing 👍
Can't wait till part 3
OK, so.... I'm BEGGING... please show this series for all of us and not just Patreon!! This is the MOST rehomed large parrot for a reason. They're not easy. For those of us that are owned by a large Too.... please share with all of us! 🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏
@birdtricks will you please show us your diet conversion “documentary “ lol. I have a Parrotlet that I can’t get off seed and would love to see how you handle the journey! 💕
That crazy bird - love him!
Now this is a challenge :) I’ll be watching it every step of the way. I don’t currently have a cockatoo but I do want one and this would be good for me to see so I know what I’d be getting myself into.
I'm so glad! If anyone can help it is YOU! I can't wait to watch. He has the potential to be an awesome bird but that hyperactivity has to go.
Thats not going to go away entirely I don’t think. Its just cockatoos being cockatoos
He is so adorable! But good luck! lol :D
What a challenge! I am looking forward to the transformation.
When is the next installment? This is fascinating!
I have had cockatoos for about 35 years. They are very emotionally astute, and THEY choose their person. If you truly love
birds, it hurts your feelings to be rejected by a bird you thought would be your lifelong companion. Things to consider:
Blizz is at reproductive age, and we are currently in one of their breeding cycles (I don't breed them, but my experience is that U2s have 2 cycles/year). Many of his behaviors look like courtship displays. "Hey, look ay me! Don't you want to get to know me better? I want to get to know you." He offers quieter sweet talk for the person to whom he is instinctively attracted, which apparently isn't the female owner. It looks like he has several crest feathers begging to be preened, and I wonder why tbey aren't. With their mate or favored person, cockatoos put their heads down, inviting, almost begging to be preened. U2s and M2s are very langorous, sensuous, and tactile oriented. To earn their absolute trust and affection is a heartmelting gift. Because they want to be with you, preened, and loved on by you, they are often called Velcro birds. If you and a bird don't click, he may tolerate you for a while, but will eventually engage in aggressive ("go away!") behaviors.
Food: My adopted U2 eats all kinds of nuts in the shell, but rejects pellets or just grinds them to powder. So I pulverize Zupreem natural in a blender, and make a warm mush, which she has for at least breakfast and often dinner. I also mix the pellet powder with pulverized Kwiko Egg Food, and Harrison's organic Power Treats and mix that in with organic almond butter, which is a good source of vitamin A. She gets that in little foraging shapes. That way I ensure she gets the pellet nutrition. I still put pellets in one of her food bowls, in hope!
U2s love to bounce., and that gives them strong legs. Get Blizz a Boing for his cardiac health. And it's great entertainment for you.
Remember, the BIRD CHOOSES you! I had one that rejected me, but liked 2 of my male friends, so I eventually gave her to one of them. She adored him and became a very cheerful, cuddly bird with him.
Yeah... Mine are rescued. One chose me, the other chose my daughter's. That's fine. I got him to get him away from a horrible situation, not so he could Stoke my ego. Didn't think he would ever be compliant- but he's done pretty well!
I have a female umbrella cockatoo rescue who is the sweetest bird! Interestingly, my cats are terrified of her and she knows it! Good luck, Jamie! My prayers for you in this new adventure of this interesting bird!
I really think an Umbrella Cockatoo is an awesome bird for only certain people. God, mine helped me through some very depressing times while going through a lot of physical pain. Maybe they need people like that to bring them calm and joy to each other. God I miss mine so much.
Blizz is the cutest!
YES! YES!! YEESSSSSS!!!! This will help SO many of us humans owned by a Cockatoo!!!!
I am so excited to watch you work with Blizzard! I know seeing how you work with him will help me with Kiwi my Too as well, since they share similar issues.
When I was watching this I thought for sure I was watching a video of my Herbie! Can’t wait to see updates and what works and doesn’t. I think we may have found a treat…almond butter (fresh made) on a spoon. So far he seems excited 🤞.
This is going to be fun!! ❤️🥰
Cockatoos are incredibly moody but they are also the most loving bird.
Most of your videos are how to make the bird overcome their fears, now is the otherway around and is a much needed information! lol
Face your fear head on u got this . You the best bird trainer around.
Yes, you can email my customer service team and let them know you are interested in a custom toy box and they will hook you up! info@birdtricks@gmail.com
I feel you Girl. I was bit on the nose by an umbrella cockatoo who I know pretty well. Pissed me off, scared me too. I didn't know it's not good to excite them too much. Learning all the time.
Take him on Jamie…you need to feel the U2 love!
“I don’t wanna tick off my neighbors” lololol
I wish I lived next door to them!
*sun conures have entered the chat*
My neighbors can hear my U2 almost a mile away...with the windows closed lol! Luckily, they've never complained.
