They are beautiful, but I would be terrified of my birds not returning!! Good that you trained them like that.
Parrots that are raised since they are cubs will never leave the owners side, don't be terrified, they will never go
Y’all do realize they most likely all use GPS units attached to the feathers right? So even if something does go wrong they know exactly where their birds are.
@Distantcity OfficialBand no u k
Can't train a 1 year old parrot for free fly u need to buy a baby bir and hand feed them
@@FukaiKokoro If there was a GPS you'd see it. These birds aren't wearing one. Carolin von Petzholdt uses it on her macaw, I take it since she's lost him one too many times. It's very noticeable, like a backpack.
don’t worry as long as u do it in ur home training them for a long time they will get close to you and never want to leave u😊
Wow! How the eclectus disappears so quickly into those canopy colors. But the flashes of red underneath the wings are glorious! I'm loving all your accents. This is great to see.
Haha yeh the ekkies can be hard to spot, would love to free fly with you all one day! Big fans :D
Aw thanks. I'd love that! If only we could import our birds into Australia, but maybe we will just have to visit someday and enjoy yours :D
My two favorite TH-camrs :D
2 of my fav TH-camrs
This is the best bird owners i have seen. Most parrot owners lock them up in so called parrot house and never get them outside to fly and think they are doing good for them.
Thank you :)
I’m getting two eclectus parrots soon. Only time they will be caged is at bed time! Wouldn’t dare keep a big beautiful bird like that trapped in a cage all day long
Adventures of Roku Hi what kind of parrot (pink color)?
@@robertocastillo6350 As the title says, it's a Major Mitchell Cockatoo
@@IllObserveAndReport I have two separate rescue Eclectus Parrots and although I have amazing bonds with them, after taking everything so slow. I would never free fly them. But my hubby and I turned our outdoor dinning and paved area plus most of our yard into a monster sized aviary. They are both happy with loads of human interaction flying great meals and the precious love they now share with our family being house and outside flown, social interactions with wild birds even if its on the tv. They are healthy happy boys, I'm so glad they came to be our friends after their start to life was not very good at all, poor bird. But now happy talkative love children kinda birds. They are worth all the bites treats that probably got them over weight at times. But they are our children. Oh mad one is obsessed with power tools any ideas on this one guys???
The cotten candy warrior flies with hia jolly rancher buddy
Artsy Scrub 😂😂
Aaahh I miss my bird. He used to go out everyday and fly through the forests, come home when he wanted or when I called.
I really enjoy your videos. Marley's self esteem has increased by leaps and bounds from when the lady Eclectus injured him. JUST SO ENJOYABLE. Pabu has a loving and accepting little soul. Thank you for sharing these wonderful vids!
Wow what a run from Marley! Pabu is showing how its done 😊
They are so "happy". So nice to c such joy!
I can't decide which bird is prettier!
One of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. Don't know why ♡
Because they are giving the freedom to fly and not trapped in a cage and they came back to the people that loves them and takes care of them that’s love coming and going.
they all are gorgeous 🤗🤗🤗😍😍😍😘
I love the screams of pure happiness when they fly around.
Awww so beautiful they are!!
Im so relieve to see this,watching them flying free omg
its so relieving to hear positive remarks on this :) so glad you like, check out the other videos of them flying off mountain tops :p
Oh I bet they love spreading there wings and getting fresh air!
Man oh man they look SO happy! I am getting a bird..
haha I highly recommend watching "Parrot Confidential" on youtube :) its a must see!
That was beautiful to watch.
That is so nice of you doing that for them
Omg i love Pabu so much!!
All bird keepers should do this. They should give them a free fly like this
You know I truly think it's nice, but could never risk losing my bird; it would hurt me so bad.
Right man
Know what you do, before you release them. Not only should you be trained, the bird(s) aswell. If the bird is not used to fly this much, muscles would give up easely. I do not have a bird, but i can imagine you need to train a petbird to fly outside. I do think, if they can, its wonderful and amazing!!
i have a eclectus to he is Beautiful and I love her like this is so so communicative and social
Amazing!!! Beautiful birds :)
Amazing ..Thank you
It looks like the birds are excited just to be outside & exploring around a new place…scampering up & down the rocks, climbing around on a new tree…and of course, flying away & coming back to Mom & Dad.😀
What a spot!
I fly my little green cheek conure but don't have any geography close to this nearby. However, I did train him to know his neighborhood and another across town. I live in San Francisco, CA and have only met two people who take their Macaws to the park. Biggest problem is red-tailed hawks. Fortunately, my bird is fast and small. I'd worry about a larger heavier bird. Flying/excercise is what birds need the most after nutrition and emotional concerns. It's not for every bird owner and is something I worked at gradually over 6-8 months. In the wild they'd be winging it for 6-8 hours and covering an area of 30-60 square miles foraging, etc.
Wish I could live up in the trees with them too!
Your birds are awesome ❤️
I ADORE watching videos of parrots flying but I find watching free flight like seeing a video of someone cliff diving! I know they do well in the video but my guts are braced for disaster lol
most beautiful video 👌👍
They are beautiful
Notice how these birds have all their feathers. Flying has to relief stress in their lives. Very health nice looking birds you have.
Aww the last time I ever met an Eclectus he'd startled me by flying up from the lower area of a library I was at and promptly hopped to my shoulder to preen me. Mostly because my hair was bright green/purple/blue I think.
Qué feliz me hace verlos así. ..libres!
Very nice
Wow amazing
well done guys
A guy in vegas did this in front of a crowd of people in a show. The birds he had were beautiful, one snow white and mixed with powder blue. The birds take off from his arms on both sides at the same time. They flew forward across this auditorium spaced apart, in perfect formation. And with that same orchestrated linearity, the birds turn near the and of the place, and cross over each other in the middle, just like your airshow pilots in planes. Now the birds are flying back to the stage over these people in the audience towards the guy with both arms extended. Again, the birds are in perfect formation. Then, the birds land on the opposite arms of this guy that they took off from. Both at the same time. Never seen anything like it before. Never seen anything like it since.
Galah and electus r really smart parrots
The local falcon : "wow, I'm eating exotic today !"
I have an Ecelectus parrot named Nicko and he is a baby. Whenever I go to him and say his name he’ll tilt his head at me and makes weird funny noises in the morning 😆. I am training him but we want him to free fly, too
The green one is Loving it 😂❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ when I get a bird I wanna let them fly

Amazing! I would love to get in contact with you guys as I am about to inherit 2 major Mitchell's and I've fallen in love with an ecletus that I'm thinking of buying (i volunteer at a bird place and this is where I met the eclectus)
I also live in australia so I think it would be an amazing experience talking to you getting to know how you train these birds
awww awesome! highly recommend reading all the materials in link above :)
Beautiful birds bro
1:28 "you miláčku malý!" :D
Qué hermosura 💗
perfect
alucinante....
Beauty
there so trained like they were born for this.
Can you please do a video on how to train them to free fly and to come back? Love this video!
www.adventuresofroku.com/Educational.php has all the free flight information :)
BEST EVER!!!!!!!!!! Which one is screaming while flying??
both of them haha
The Galah is the screecher. You should hear when a huge flock of them pass overhead, it's so loud.
The colors are just gorgeous. I like much more more the green how to get a baby
Which tracker would u recommend for parrots ?
How did u train them like thahht .I wanna know bcos I've got some budgies
These two species are native to your part of Australia right? Also how old are they? Pabu and Marley amazing video per usual, simply sublime the flight of birds
Ryan Fallgatter Pabu is almost 1yo and Marley is 2.5yo :)
Pabu is native and Marley is native to Solomon Islands. Australia's native eclectus is I think the largest and only found in cape York (northern tip of Australia)
I cant wait until I get me umbrella cockatoo when I move !
just be prepared for LOTS of dust. very very dusty lol
Also can you do a video on how you got them to all get along please
Hello adventures of roku😂🐦
Seth_ Murphy_36 hello 😁
Beautuful bird i have Abri an grey
I wanna get a gold and blue macaw one day and let him or her fly around, but I’m scared of predatory birds hurting them. How do you overcome that fear or keep the parrots safe while flying from hawks and eagles?
Parrots don't fly much so this was interesting
How did you start training your Eclectus Parrot to fly and come back? We have an 8 month old male (Monty) and we worry he will fly away.
Wow
love these vid i also have a male eclectus just wondering what subspecies yours is my guys a vos
richardm239 I have a vos pair as well :) Marley is a Solomon 👍
awsome you should film them some time
I have the same green, parrot and i have a cockatoo but, yellow.
Super!!!! Bravo!!!! En France, les personnes devrait élever aussi leurs perroquet et surtout savoir leur pzrler
nise parrot
Woah they're fast
My wife: So are eclectus a loud bird?
Marley: SQUAAARK! [trees drop limbs, clouds scoot away to horizon, cracks in boulders widen slightly...]
Me: Uh well... it's relative?
How do they keep birds of prey away?
Is it hard to put pabu and all your other birds in the create
Natasha Richardson not at all, unless I take them out and was to leave 5mins later they would be confused and throw a tantrum as they get minimum of 1hr outside to feel content lol
Smoking a joint atop a blue mountain... Soo good
ماشاء الله
What do you do about Eagles and other Raptors? I live in quite a remote area, but we have a large number of Raptors in our skies. It is in fact a great place for bird watching. This has made me very cautious about even considering free flight for one of my birds. I'd love to know more about how you deal with and or explain how you work around the threat of Attack from Wild Birds. I don't see how you could condition your Pet Bird mentally for that kind of thing. (I assume that has to be done to ensure bird returns to you when under threat.
Hi Jason,
We live in Australia so we have far more varied species of raptors then anywhere else, in fact there's a 95% chance during our outings that we will encounter a bare minimum of one raptor. Many of the videos I have uploaded show raptors flying overhead or my birds chasing them off.
What is not dangerous for properly trained free flight parrots can be a extremely high risk situation leading to loss if a pet indoor parrot was placed in the same situation.
-
There is no operant conditioning training that will prepare your bird for safe free flight and proper responses in the event of danger. This is why I continually point out that free flight training is not based on recall training nor relationship. For eg. my major Mitchells cockatoo is free flighted and to this day I have not gone out of my way at any point to practice recall.
Though recall is a useful tool it's not a necessity nor foundational. Brain development is the foundational factor.
A properly trained free flight parrot must have the same brain development as their wild counterparts, so just like the millions of wild parrots that survive and thrive alongside raptors daily so to can properly trained free flight parrots.
This is because they possess or develop the same key behaviours/flight skills that allow them to deal with danger appropriately.
-
In the even of a raptor attacking the absolute worst thing you can do is have a bird with blind recall, this is the reason why so many birds are lost to raptors or lost in general, they do not have the right brain development to be outdoors in the first place. It's also why many rehabilitation programs that release endangered birds find the majority die, this is why they are looking to the science based information on developmental stages and applying the right approach.
www.adventuresofroku.com/Educational.php explains all this in far greater detail.

For some videos of my birds dealing or flying alongside raptors ive included some of the links below.

There are many many more but these are just a few.
I know this video is old but this is one of the most wholesome thing I have ever seen. I don’t know much about birds but these guys are clearly loved and have fulfilling lives. Thanks
Pobu is great
Are you from Australia?
Had to turn sound off when they whistled and said 'good boy' because my dog was so confused xD
I think both am I right
Birbs♥♥♥
That’s it I’m moving to Australia, we can marry and raise birds then.
They fly like falcons, super fast
Damn, I really want Major Mitchell, they're really hard to find though, and expensive ofc. Anyone knows where to buy 1? might can buy the bird one day
What about predators? I don't know what kind of predators there are in Australia, but here in the southwestern US I'd be afraid to let my bird fly outside with red tailed hawks flying around.
beaglemanzzz we live in Australia, there's far more predators here then in the states. So our birds need to deal with it the same way the wild parrots deal with them on the daily ☺️ www.adventuresofroku.com/Educational.php has a detailed answer explaining it :)
So as I figured there's always a risk... I know the red tailed hawks in my area are habituated to parrots as I've personally seen one attack a flock of feral red lored amazons in a tree. It makes me think twice about letting my bird outside especially with no flockmates to help cover him.
theres risk with everything it's just about knowing what level of risk there is, it's not as black and white about letting your birds outdoors and hoping for the best. It's got everything to do with their brain and its development and ability to process and respond accordingly. Pet parrots are significantly different to properly trained free flight parrots, and the risk of an attack of predators is significantly different between the two.
As explained on the website in link above, raptors can intentionally flush/chase a flock to scan and identify any potential weak or vulnerable birds. These flight patterns are what is targeted to ensure a high chance of successful kill. Pet indoor parrots have behaviours and flight patters that reflect vulnerability and weakness. Leaving them high risk.
Simple, just own a red tailed hawk. No other apex predators lololol
How do you train them like that?
hey mate, info and link is in the pinned post and description. If you click on www.adventuresofroku.com/Educational.php you will find all the collated info to give you an idea on where to go and how to start. let me know if you have any troubles.
So funny
when to reach that level ? fly outdoor without run ???? please answer because i live in dangerouse land i cant let them go out alot of cats but i feel so sad about him he need to fly like all birds
most definitely never ever use a run/leash as this is extremely detrimental to free flight and can be the sole reason you lose your bird. not all birds can or should be free flown, many can meet their physical and mental needs within the safety of indoors or with harness training. For those that do need free flight or benefits outweigh the risks, its an extremely time consuming lifestyle change and one you cannot stop no matter what your excuse.
www.adventuresofroku.com/Educational.php explains this further.
www.libertywings.com has the only accredited science based free flight course specific to parrots. Without this knowledge base you run the risk of losing your bird, so if your bird is like family then it deserves to have its companion be fully equipped and ready, not cut corners.
Adventures of Roku thank you for this information.
I also have a eclectus parrot, his name is Niko 😊
aww hi niko! great name :)
I can only dream of teaching my Major Mitchell’s how to fly :(
all the free flight info is on the website if interested :) www.adventuresofroku.com
How do trained them?
the links are in the video description and pinned post :)
This is proof that humans doesn’t pick, and force their birds to live with them. They let birds be birds and the birds choose to fly back.
Keep in mind that I’m only talking about good bird owners, not everyone is this great
Do you guys bottle feed them from early age or what ....! They're so tame??
Korra and Roku must have been for sure.
Veronica no that's a myth, hand rearing a bird does not build bonds. Baby birds form attachments which naturally end at fledging and adult birds form relationships/bonds. You need to work at earning trust and building relationship. Roku & Korra were already eating independently when I got them :)
Thats great. I'm struggling to bond with my birds😕
madara uchiha what kind of birds are they? :) I can help out if you like
Adventures of Roku I tried many birds starting with ringneck .... now I have a budgie and cockatiel got them from pet store (male budgie,female cockatiel)
OMG OMG OMG OMG MY BIRB IS DA SAHM OMGOMGOMGMGMGOGM
👍👌😱😵
pabu is a cutie
Cotton candy pabu warriors
The kookaburra bird is very popular
How they come back to you
all explained on the website in video description and pinned post :)
I got a female eclelectus. two years ago her mate ecky died of cancer
How do you train them to come back?
Yeah, I really want to know that too
@Wattle pretty hard tho
@Wattle wow thanks i might do it when im older and have a bigger bird as a baby so i can better train it, but my teil isnt the right bird to free fly
I love this but I would be so scared they wont come back.
Oh gotta train them to come back like in a high wall thing
Early my bois
