You are amazing! I haven't managed to teach our grey much of anything, mostly because I haven't had the confidence. Watching the repetitions, listening to you carefully, I feel I have a way in now. I LOVE your relationship with your birds!! I LOVE how you set up your bird room!! I learn so much from your videos, thank you.
This is just what I need thank you! I just adopted a baby cockatiel that has been clipped improperly so won't be able to fly until his first moult this will really help me teach him how to fly 😊
Thank you soo much for your time and effort into making these videos!! We recently got a Pacific Blue Parrotlet (Hannah) and she is 11 months old( we got her at 6 months). She was living in a very small cage at the pet store, and the people would just grab her every time some kid wanted to hold her or pet her, so she developed a phobia (i guess) of hands and just bit us if we brought our hands too close to her. After a few weeks of getting her, we stumbled upon your channel, and we have tried to follow your advice to the best we can, and Hannah has pretty much completely overcome her fear of hands and lets us pet her head and other stuff like that. She still bites every now and then when we approach her with our hands, too fast, but she has learned how to step up, wave, spin, and lots of other stuff, thanks to you and your videos! Hopefully, she will overcome her fear of hands completely within a few more months!! Anyways, to sum it all up, thank you soooo much for your amazing videos, they really helped our bonds with Hannah. Thx!
Trying to teach my GCC recall since he has been clipped for the first 2 years of his life....this video was the perfect training tool for ME, Now I have learned how to get positive results without over taxing my baby and stressing myself out!!! Thank you for all you do for birds and more importantly bird owners!
I getting a parrotlet it would really be helpful if you showed us what to do when you bring a new bird home thank you I love your videos always so helpful
This is great stuff. Ive discovered from it that my cockatiels are great at flying down. And pretty good at landing on moving targets. But have little strength at the mo for flying up. So am incorporating that into our training. Great reminder though to not strain muscles with over exercising. Thanks.
I just recently was thinking of your channel and am so relieved to see you're doing well! It had been a while since you posted and I'm glad for the recent content! ❤❤❤
Loving all the new videos! These will be great exercises for my young cockatiel, she came to me clipped and has learned to fly in the last month or so. She's still pretty clumsy, so I think these exercises will help her.
My cockatiel seems to have her own training regiment, from the top of her cage she takes a dive and then starts flying around the room in a bunch of different patterns, some with wide arches and some with sharp turns. I think its her way of testing out new flight feathers.
@Flock-Talk, imho, you are the shit when it comes to articulating and demonstrating training methods. If you were looking for any constructive criticism from a "pro youtube listener" :) I would work on iteratively improving your sound setup. You're coming in 5/5 but the quality could be much better. A little sound proofing and a shotgun or boom mic I think would do wonders. Cheers
Believe me I know the echo is terrible! I can’t add much sound proofing because we record in the bird’s room so foam fixtures are just going to get destroyed or potentially ingested. I am looking in to getting a mic, leaning more towards a small one that can clip on to my shirt since anything big and fluffy is going to be asking for Newt to nibble at it!
I have had my GC conure for 8 years. He only had his wings clipped when I got him from the breader. I have never clipped them since then. He is a pretty good flyer ( He can do many long laps if necessary), but it seams as he hates flying. He only flies if he is spooked or if we leave the room. Then, he does several laps searching for us in different rooms. However, if food is available at a short distance, he will just beg for us to move him to this place. I wonder whether it is a healthy behaviour for a conure.
I have a cockatiel and I’ve had him for less than two weeks and he’s already very used to me, he can fly up and down but he always panics when I move a bit, after awhile I’ll start to try moving but he usually lands on my head or on the table
My little forpus had its wing clipped when we bought it by the petstore owner. Now me and my gf have decided to not clip him again. But since he got clipped so early in his life (i think he's about 10-12 weeks now) I don't really know when i can start taking steps to start his flight/recall training nor what to start with. Any advice is appreciated.
Well it is hard and there are a lot of factors but for me this worked. I put a millet stick on my belly while laying down and my budgie ate it. I did that many times and it really helped me bond with him. Now he allways flies to me when he sees me even though he knows i dont have food with me. I hope this helps. Good luck.
What ever bird safe foods you bird likes. Small birds typically like millet, but you can also try safflower seeds or sunflower seeds, different fruits, dried fruit, etc
Can I ask, how do you stop them both trying to join in the training at the same time and only work with just one? Mine both absolutely love training and I can't just train one at a time, but they then sometimes get jealous of each other getting my attention and the treats. Thanks for another great video btw
You spam all her videos with this comment, but it's not even a clear request. Do mean you want to train your bird TO sneeze on command? 'Capture' the behavior by clicking and rewarding when it naturally sneezes or mimicks you saying "ah-choo"
Is it bad if my birds don’t come out of the cage even though I don’t force them to and I leave the doors open so they can leave whenever they want I’ve had the parakeets for like 2 years now
Very bad. They only feel safe in their cage by now and you need to be taking them out on your finger. Start slow. Just teach them step up again. When you see them get uncomfortable put them back. Keep taking them out until you can get 2-3 feet away from the cage. Watch a video for more information.
It depends. What kind of bird do you have? Are they both females? How big is their cage? How many food bowls are in their cage? Do they fight inside or outside the cage? There is a LOT of factors, so its really hard to make a whole video about it.
i have a question i brought my parakeet to the vet for the first time a few days ago and now she doesnt trust me as much as she did, is this normal? will her trust for me build up again? [if anyone sees this and knows the answer please reply]
@@Royal.Angel. we had a pretty bad travel cage where you basically had to open up the top and shove her in,, now we use basically a cage you would get at the pet store as an actual cage and the process is a lot easier
@@ellen2494 okay!! I'm just saying probably the process of putting her in that cage hurt the bond cause you forced her into an uncomfortable place, I hope your bond is better!!
I had the downward issue this morning withy young budgie. He was startled by an outside noise when I brought him out and he flew on top of the fridge. I thought I would have a problem getting him to come down because the flight training is only a few days started. He should be named Crash Bandicoot with the way he fly's hell for leather right now. Lol But, he did well and landed on me.
So glad you did the down recall. So many birds fly into trees and can’t come down.
The thumbnail 😂
This is great! I just recently managed to teach my budgie recall training and this is the perfect next step!
What kinda treats you give him/her ?!
عبد الواحد I don’t know what he uses but I use millet for my cockatiel
@@Ta3alam4u Well i use millet. A lot of parrot owners use millet. Bird love it. You can also use fruit and other bird snacks.
عبد الواحد i use millet
Okay why is my comment all messed up? Lol
The asymmetrical head ventilation would drive my OCD up a wall. XD Love your videos. Just found you on Instagram and followed.

i dont watch all of this too active anymore but those thumbnail get me every time haha
i really hope you can pin the silver button on your wall once
This is just what I need thank you! I just adopted a baby cockatiel that has been clipped improperly so won't be able to fly until his first moult this will really help me teach him how to fly 😊

How do you not have hundreds of thousands of views?
Someone get Flock Talk some hocus pocus algorithmic magic beans with extra SEO fairy dust!
Im a big fan Flock Talk
I just recently was thinking of your channel and am so relieved to see you're doing well! It had been a while since you posted and I'm glad for the recent content! ❤❤❤
This video is super good. My bird needs these skills.
Thank you so much...
Thank you so much for being helpful❤

Can you overfeed your birds?? How do you avoid it from happening?
Thank you, this is the perfect video for my bird!!
Very informative video 💗✨☺️✨

What do you give them as treats ?
And thank you for the video
You can try to buy a variety of treats( e.g. seeds, nuts ) and see which treat they pick first. My conure loves pine nuts .
I have had my GC conure for 8 years. He only had his wings clipped when I got him from the breader. I have never clipped them since then. He is a pretty good flyer ( He can do many long laps if necessary), but it seams as he hates flying. He only flies if he is spooked or if we leave the room.

she has a video on that I think. Or if she doesn't Livelaughbirds does.

Pleaseeeeeeeeeee teach how to train for sneezing
A humble request plzzzzzzzzzzzz
You spam all her videos with this comment, but it's not even a clear request. Do mean you want to train your bird TO sneeze on command?
'Capture' the behavior by clicking and rewarding when it naturally sneezes or mimicks you saying "ah-choo"
Should you first only teach one part of it or the training should be a mix of it all?
Is it bad if my birds don’t come out of the cage even though I don’t force them to and I leave the doors open so they can leave whenever they want I’ve had the parakeets for like 2 years now
Very bad. They only feel safe in their cage by now and you need to be taking them out on your finger.
Start slow. Just teach them step up again. When you see them get uncomfortable put them back.
Keep taking them out until you can get 2-3 feet away from the cage.
Watch a video for more information.
"It's getting too hot" - excuses excuses...
Can you do a video an what to do if your birds fight
It depends. What kind of bird do you have? Are they both females? How big is their cage? How many food bowls are in their cage? Do they fight inside or outside the cage? There is a LOT of factors, so its really hard to make a whole video about it.

Is your bird ok with you now?
@@HeHe-ko3wr mostly, she just lost her companion though so she's still recovering from that :(
how did you put her in the travel cage?

Can you do a video on how to know if your birds are mating
What kind of bird this Please answer me?
It's a parrotlet. Later in the video there is a Maroon Bellied Conure
Yellow sided greencheek conjure.
Hahaha first
