IthacaJason hi Jason. I am Everett. I was a big fan of you and Rachel. I was so sorry to hear the sad news. I have always had parrots. I really wish you would contact me. You can do so by emailing me at Robosafion @aol or Facebook using my name. My last name us Hutcherson. Haven't seen anything new from you since this. Are things better?
@@mikehelton8984 Very sadly, Jason J. Seymour took his own life on November 3rd, 2017. www.legacy.com/obituaries/theithacajournal/obituary.aspx?n=jason-j-seymour&pid=187157460&fhid=11708
Dear Jason, I am deeply sorry for your cute little Rachel bird and also very sorry to hear, what you've been going through. It's heartbreaking to see you so sad, made me cry too and I feel like giving you a big hug, telling you, you are not alone. Thank you for sharing your story and your honesty!!! Oceans of love from the other side of the world. A friend from Germany :-)
You're most welcome. I would like to add, that I am going through similar difficulties like you, and I know what it's like. I am suffering from a panic disorder and also sometimes depressions, although I have not lost someone yet. I just want to say that I strongly believe in the power of the deceased one, and if we have been close to them, theire ascension has a lot of strong influence on us. First we react with sadness, but if we can overcome this, it is ment to be for some great change in life. And I guess, if you are struggeling with depressions, and if you hate your job, just ask yourself what you really would like to do. There must be something! Me for example, I was working fulltime as a kindergardenteacher, but actually I am a professional puppeteer and acting artist, and I became sick, because I neglected my artistic talents. So I am slowly, slowly working on this and decided, I will work as an artist again. I shit on money and secure job, to me is important, that I am happy. So Jason, there must be something, you would like to do, may be Rachels spirit can guide you. Trust your inner powers! When you say, you hate your job, Rachels death is not the only reason why you became sick!! I know what I'm talking about! God bless you Jason
Wow what a great inspiring story, congratulations for following your heart, and your passions as a puppeteer. When you do what you like for work, you never have worked a day in your life, rather you are pursuing your calling. I am sure you are bringing lots of joy to other thru your gifts. Bless you and of course Jason, he is processing a lot, it is very understandable he has a very heart felt bond with Rachel, and I believe it will remain forever as spirit is eternal.
Brandt McCall Oh thank you for your lovely comment!!! Yeah, following your heart is the most important thing. Maybe Rachel came into Jasons life, to inspire him, to follow his heart. Allthough he lost her now (only her material being) it is suppose to be for a greater purpose! I was thinking lately, why he wouldn't do something with animals, because I think the special thing in all his Videos with Rachel is his abilityor talent to handle her, what the bond between her and him made so special! I don't know how old Jason is, I guess in the middle of 30?...it's never to late for a new start!!!! All the best to Jason!!!! What doesn't kill you, only makes you stronger!!
Yes I do agree Jason has a very caring heart which I think animals/birds and people well we are animals too resonate with. As we can all see on youtube spending time with birds/animals bring him much joy to, he senses their spirit like he did with dear Rachel. I thought a calling of his maybe something to do with animals/birds too just like you perhaps even volunteering at a parrot rescue while he is healing as he has so much love to give. And/or getting some training as a vet assistant, or a groomer, or starting his own pet daycare such as they have in Japan where people leave their animals for the day and other people can come in and order a snack (vegetarian snacks as these are all animal lovers!), and play with the pets the other people have left for the day while they are working or whatever they are doing. Yes we are giving many beautiful challenges in our wonderful lives to help makes us grow, live to our potential emotionally to spiritually and be stronger, I do agree with you. Wishing you, Jason, and all beings on this magnificent planet happiness!
dear jason... i'm so sad and sorry of your loss ... 😢 rachel was a amazing and beautiful Macaw.. I loved your Videos.. 😔 Now She is in Heaven- but always in your Heart.... Head high Jason.. You're not alone.. Many greetings from Nadine (Geramny- Cologne)....
God holds that beautiful soul of a young bird, Rachel. Amen. God bless that bird, you never didn't have the best voice! She is watching you from little birds heaven, god bless her.
Dear Jason, this was both heartbreaking and heartwarming. thank you so much for making this video. It was obviously something that took a long time for you to be able to do. I'm sure you realize that all of your TH-cam friends and subscribers were very very concerned. I guess some of us for bracing ourselves for this announcement. 😢😢😢 Rachel was a real delight, and, thanks to TH-cam, will continue to be so!! Hi, isn't as well as many others here, can empathize and have been through this pain-many of us numerous times with our collective furried, feathered and scaled-and such- loved ones. The loss is immense. I have also found great comfort and keeping the ashes of my precious miniature schnauzer, Brunne, past back and December 2010, although sometimes it seems like yesterday I do have the comfort of having her wooden urn with her harness and homemade beaded collar. Just this year we have endured loss of two precious hamsters and a bunny.
IthacaJason despite the video being quite old now, I was very sad to watch you describing the harrowing situation you had been in. From time-to-time and for many years I have shared the anxieties, stress, depression and PTSD symptoms you mentioned and my heart really went out to you. You needed a long and loving hug and I'm sure your husband gave you that. Plus, there's one from me, here in the north of England as an extra. I hope you have recovered enough to rejoin the workforce and have found a new career path. I truly, truly hope that you got through this and you're both looking to the future without forgetting the happiness you've had in the past making memories.
No doubt that the eagle you saw flying in the sky was a sign from Rachel. And what made it more special was that you saw it right after you spoke of your depression and worry about going back to work. Rachel is always in your heart and she doesn't want your heart to be heavy with sadness. My prayers are for you. I hope that you let go of some of the hurt that you feel and seek a sense of peace. ❤
I'll never know why you thought there was no way out, Jason, no alternative, but I am very sorry to hear today that you did feel that way. I wish I could have been there to talk to you, console you perhaps. Jason J. Seymour: February 15, 1977 - November 3, 2017 R.I.P., beautiful, gentle man.
I am not much of pet person and just randomly saw your 2 or 3 videos. I must say I am very moved with your kindness. You have taken a very good care of one of the God's Creation. You will go to Heaven and and there Rachel will be once again united with you eternally, no stress, no time keeping, no vets, just you and your loves ones with Rachel.
Dear Jason, words cannot adequately express my heartfelt condolences for the loss of your Rachel. I have a special place in my heart for Blue and Gold Macaws, having hand fed, raised, and bonded with a very special one, myself. The relationship you shared with Rachel was a joy to watch unfold. Your grief is palpable; I wish I could help ease it. Each and every video you posted on You Tube clearly showed the love, trust, and adoration Rachel had for you. You were both blessed to have found each other, to love each other, and I believe she waited for you in the end to say farewell. I'm sure she kept on flying, free as ever...or more. I'm interested to hear Jason's words, but only if you think it will help You in your grieving process. Your and Rachel's lives have touched mine; I thank you for sharing pieces of your lives with me. I'd wondered why it had been so long since your last upload, hoping you were simply enjoying life. I believe we ache as deeply as we love, and your pain is in direct relationship and contrast to the incredible love in your heart that transcended species. Jason, please know you are not alone. Godspeed, Rachel.
Hi Jason/s! Just checking back with you guys to see how you're faring. Don't think for a minute that just because you've been quiet that you and Rachel aren't thought about with a smile ... and a tear or two ... regularly. At the end of the day, month, journey, its all about relationships and love.
10mintwo - I read this with a very heavy heart. What a beautiful soul this man had. Fly free, Jason ... forever, or more. The world is a brighter place for having you in it. Godspeed.
10mintwo - thank you for taking your time to let me know. I've never been as moved by someone who I knew only through TH-cam uploads. Sending you heartfelt condolences.
I just read the rest of the posts. I know Jason, your in heaven with your Rachel.... Together for ever eternity. RIP Jason and RIP Rachel. Loved you channel.
Oh Jason, I'm so sorry. It's never easy, and Rachel was so lucky to have you and your husband. I send you both hugs and hope things get better for you from here. Hang in there and know that you have a lot of people rooting for you.
Hi Jason, if you're still on here, how old was Rachel when she died, and when you first got her.....I was balling my eyes out the entire time!!!!! my heart...Rachel's legacy lives on!
Sorry.. One more "PS:" (correction from mic error from first comment) "I, as well as many here.....) not "Hi....🙄 I sometimes rely too much on the mic when posting comments via my iPhone!! 🙄🙄
I came here to write to Jason, but have learned that he has passed and I'm so very shocked and saddened. My mum and I used to watch his videos and loved them so much. She is now in a home with late stage Dementia and she hardly speaks. The strange thing is it's very much like talking to Rachel. I say something and a lot of the time she doesn't respond and sometimes she does. The other night I was on the phone to her and it was mostly silence and I said "Whatcha doin?" and she just like Rachel replied "Whatcha doin?" and I find that just by saying that I at least get a little response. My relationship with my mother is now just like Jason and Rachel's, which is strange to imagine. I miss her so much as she was, but we still have a beautiful relationship and I wanted to thank Jason for the little catchphrase that helps us connect and showing me that love and patience gets paid back. Rest in peace Rachel and Jason.
Jason in response to "Ahhhh, thank you very much. I thought about doing something more on You Tube. I'd love to be the next You Tube Millionaire, just don't know what I would do, what the people want or need! Any producers out there in hollywood or NYC? " First let me say I'm so very very sorry for your loss but then let me say to your husband no disrespect is meant but you're kind of friggin sexy bro and they're all kinds of videos that you could make as a matter of fact until I graduated college I did some and it pays great. I'm sorry your feeling the way you do. All these people offering to be there for you I'm certain I couldn't be of more help than them but add me to the list. And I get the first copy of you do ever make it into that type of industry hot stuff.
+Captn Hook - WTF?? "First let me say" no actually that was your 2nd point. You wrote about yourself being a youtube millionaire 1st. Then talking about how sexy & hot he is. And, wait, did you just suggest he does porn videos because it pays great.? And you want the 1st copy of the video if he makes it in that industry? Just poor choice dude. Not the right time, place or subject.
I lost my cat I had for 15 years about a year ago, he was my world and my best friend. At the time I was still taking antidepressants for bad depression, anxiety, panic attacks, social phobia and just generally being a mess. I'm still grieving too and I know exactly how you feel but please give yourself time, I promise you will get the calling you're waiting for, maybe in an unexpected place. For now you need to focus on yourself and your health, in time you will figure this whole thing out. I adopted another rescue cat who needed a home earlier this year and a week ago I was finally strong enough to quit the antidepressants. I'm still not all the way better, I don't know if I will ever be but time has fixed a lot of my troubles, you need to stick to it. Let your loved ones help you with your depression and anxiety and take it easy for now. Remember that you were Rachel's best friend too and she would want nothing else for you but happiness. xoxo
Hi Jason, I've been following Rachel and you since the past 4-5 years. Watched and enjoyed watching all the videos, and wondering why the lack of new ones. Really, really sad to hear about Rachel - such a beautiful, gentle soul. She's in a good place now. I hope you feel better soon, please give it time. Lots of healing coming your way from Pakistan. Tayyaba
omg Jason i'm so so sorry for your loss of the beautiful Rachel. I do know what you are going through. I had a cockateil from birth Jack i called him. He was just like Rachel, i took him in the car with me. i taught him to talk. i lived to hear " what ya doing " all the time. the conversations we had and the absolute silky games he played would make you laugh so hard. then my daughter came along and he was like a guard. he would sit over her and just watch her sing to her. i had jack for 10 years until the unfortunate time that my mother " accidently " let him out and off he flew. no way such a tiny bird would have survived. i cried for 2 years afterwards. i was so lonely without my little pal. he was just like a son to me. i truly hope that you do ok and can get through all this knowing that rachel is up there smiling and squawking down at you. i send you and jason all my love.
thank you very much. Smiling at me and laughing at me, yes. Squawking, I could do without. ha ha. So sad to hear of your fly aways. As I said to the person below I sure wish they knew how to get home.
Yes that would be wonderful. I would deary love that rascal back. I swear to this day i still hear him whistling but deep down know its not. Be strong, hang in there. You will survive with beautiful memories. And also one who has gone through a lt of crap and depression, i am always a ear away for a chat. You cheered me up for a lot of years.
Part 2: sorry for the length of this comment. I am just so touched. . I sincerely believe that you and Jason should consider bringing another feathered son or daughter into your lives! There are so many and rescue wanting forever homes. Sometimes the bigger cuties have a longer waits. Like Rachel, our family Indian ringneck (my precious grand-birdie❤️😊)came via a breeder however, should I be blessed to welcome another feathered love one I would certainly go to the rescues! this would also be an honor to Rachel, in my humble opinion It would be wonderful to hear Jason's account!you have many subscribers and, as I mentioned before, I'm sure many have been concerned and would love to share in honoring Rachel. Her videos are precious. BTW-I also understand what it's like to be on disability and have to ponder your future calling!! Best of luck and support in that endeavor. All love to you and Jason (and any of her extended family and friends !) from NJ. ❤️❤️😘
Just read about Jason's passing a year ago. This video is so much more heartbreaking knowing this news - Jason, thank you for sharing your beautiful bird with us. I hope you are at peace and have reunited with her. RIP.
Hi Rachel & Jason (She is indeed an everlasting star) -- so yeah, I cried throughout the video like I haven't in years. I have lost a parrot that I had since I was a kid and I had to carry the loss with me for so many years. I just want to tell you that you are a very special person, and with all the pain that you are going through, just know that we are lucky to have people like you in this world; loving, caring, sensitive.. please, for us, don't give up. Let Rachel's legacy be the mission for you to find happiness once again. Thank you so much for sharing this intimate moment. Although Rachel was not my bird, I was so happy every time you uploaded a video. Maybe this is not the time, but perhaps you should consider getting a new bird. It helped me after a few years and I now have a loving bird. I still haven't forgotten that first bird.. it just helped me so much. Help us help you, Jason. :-) The social network like Twitter and Instagram.. it does help cause you connect with people who feel just like you do, who could support. And you & Rachel have MANY supporters and fans. We love you both and please don't sign out for too long. We want to hear that you are moving on, with all the difficulties and be a part of your journey. Peace out and much much much love to Rachel.
That's so sad. I've only known about this channel for about a week, and I've fallen in love with the beautiful Rachel. I really hope you get better soon, and stop having these bad stuff happen to you. I would love to see some new videos of you just randomly talking, or something else. Within the week of knowing you two, you guys never failed to put a smile on my face when I was feeling down.
Ahhhh, thank you very much. I thought about doing something more on You Tube. I'd love to be the next You Tube Millionaire, just don't know what I would do, what the people want or need! Any producers out there in hollywood or NYC? I would love to host a game show too! :-)
Just do what you are doing, speak from your heart, this is is healing and nice for people. In a few weeks or when you are ready consider giving everyone updates on how you are feeling and any other memories of Rachel you are having.
me and my sisters used to love watching Rachel we thought she was amazing and so funny. I remembered about her today and went on your channel and seen this video. I'm so upset for you 🙁 r.i.p Rachel bird god bless xx
I wish I could reach through my phone and just hold you. Losing any pet is heart wrenching. But it's important to remember that even though they are just here for a small portion of our life, for them, we are their whole life. Take comfort in knowing that she knew she was loved.
I am so sorry for the loss of Rachel, Jason! Your video hit home for me in so many ways, I am crying with you. When my George died, I was so depressed, I wanted to die too to be with him. It's been more than two years and it still kills me. I saved his feathers but I wish I would have saved more while he was alive. I admire you so much for making this video, I think it will help a lot of people going through the same thing that have no one who understands. I hope one day when you are ready, a new special parrot comes in to your life, sent by Rachel.
I am so sorry to hear about Rachel...I always wondered what happened to her..I have seen that one video several times. When you own a bird, you find out how sweet and funny they are...I had two parakeets fly away the weekend of our Gay Pride back in 2015..had them 7 years and still look for them in the sky...take care.
Wow, so very sorry. I truly feel your pain and tears. Until one ever experiences the love and bond of a pet, especially a bird, they will never understand what you are going thru. Perhaps Rachel will help with the bird autopsy in teaching the vets what happened and be able to help other birds. I had a similar experience with a quaker parrot, Keiko. People said she was my 'soul mate'. I will always remember and love her. It was heart wrenching and I thought no other could ever replace her. But after awhile Sheena came into my life and she was even more loveable and personable. Will never forget Keiko, but I love how my God loves me so much that He knew what I needed when Sheena came along. Go on my channel to see vids of both Keiko and Sheena. P.S. I admire your courage to share with us and be vulnerable with raw emotions. You are truly a special, compassionate, and loving human being. I pray God will bring another special bird in your life to help you. He has always been there for me - praying He will bless you with another to share your adorableness with and start a new chapter. I subbed and will keep you in prayer if that's ok with you. Hoping to see old vids of you and Rachel and maybe more of someone new. God Bless, Linda
altough we live a world apart - I live in Belgium, Europe - I share the same experience as you, Jason. on May the 21st in 2015, I lost Loui, my alba cockatoo, due to a very rapid fungal infection taking over his little body. I too wear his wrestband around my neck, his ashes are standing next to my bedside.... I cried for you and Rachel, and felt the pain again of losing my precious lil' Louie. On april the 2nd 2016, I bought a baby blue & gold macaw. Templado is the New Joy in my life. Suffering from lyme desease and ptsd (Child abuse survivor), Templado helps me through the days. He is the best therapy I'll have and became my New soulmate. I swear, sometimes I see al little bit of my Louie in his eyes :) Although I never thought to find a new friend and soulmate, I did, and bit by bit I'm moving on again, loving and living once more. Big hugs and I wish you alle the best, Jason. I'm sure Rachel watches over you xxx
Thank you for sharing your story. Oh no, lymes disease and ptsd... I am in fear of lyme, and have a bit of mild ptsd myself. I hope your LD is managed well, I did research on it, it is still not fully understood in the medical community.

virtual hughs.. from the other side of the World 🌏.. In my Childhood i lost my Budgerigar my best Friend 😢his Name was Bobby... I'll never forget him.. I know what and how you feel.. But the remembrancr will never dies.. Trust me.. Pay attention to you and happy for you an your Husband..
Oh my god! I was a fan of Rachel. I am really, really so sad that I played this video! I was trying to remember her name to find her talking videos to show my friend. I first saw her in 2011 or something and didn't forget about you, I just remembered how to search for you both and I am shocked. I am so sorry for your loss Jason. You made me cry too. You were a great couple. I laughed when I first saw you. And I will always remember her as "Raaaachel biiirrddd". Whatcha doin! Rachel birrrddd!!!
Hi Jason, I really loved you and Rachel I'm still sad to see this vid. Wish I could turn back time and see you and Rachel being happy together again! How are you doing yourself? You seem like a truly wonderful person. Love, from Belgium
Dear Jason, I am very sorry and I understand you because I have been through such pain myself.. Rachel is with you forever, I cried while I listened to your terrible story.. You just know that I will always be happy to hear you, see you, communicate with you.. Thank you and Rachel for your wonderful show. Sorry for my English, I'm from Russia.
Hi Jason. I just saw this video today. I am so sorry for your loss. I love Rachel and so does Jacob my blue and gold macaw. Rachel was an amazing bird. I can't imagine my life without my bird but the reality of it is there, day in and day out. Jacob was diagnosed with Macaw Respiratory Hypersensitivity when he was 3 years old and I almost lost him then. He is now 13 and each day that goes by is cherished as this disease can take him in an instant. Just living with this has been so hard on me but having him is also the best thing in my life. Again Rachel was so very loved by you and all of us on youtube. If you wanted to see Jacob, you can see many of his videos under jacob macaw. I also have videos that show him while sick. RIP beautiful Rachel.
Be Brave Jason. Find your love for another pet again... time will heal everything. Good thing you have all those Rachel recordings uploaded in TH-cam. Good luck to you.
Dear Jason, I'm so so sorry for your loss. I balled watching this video. I volunteer with macaws, and they are all amazing. I can't imagine losing one that's your own. I would be devastated if one of the macaws at the conservancy I volunteer at passed away... They are all so goofy and amazing. And so was Rachel. Her talking and sounds are so cute. I like to play imitation games with the macaws I work with... and they remind me of Rachel. I pray for that things will get better. Please have hope and stay strong!! I can tell you're a very good hearted person. Perhaps your calling is birds? Stay strong Jason! Please contact me if you want to talk. I too am a huge macaw lover... God bless you - Jenna
I am so sorry for your loss. I understand and get it. One of the most difficult things in life. Our feathered, furred (and otherwise) family teach us so many things of and about life - as well as unconditional love. I think your calling should be to adopt/rescue unwanted/abused/neglected feathered friends. Call the place "Rachel's House." I wish you the best of everything. You can and will make it. I know you will always cherish the memories of her.
Hello Jasons! I'm dropping a note here to let you know, even though Rachel is gone, she and her (Jasons) family remain I the hearts and memories of many, like me. I don't know about the rest of your life, but you have such a gift with birds. Too often, people take on the responsibility of having parrots as pets, only to realize they require far more time and patience than they have to keep the birds healthy, emotionally happy, mentally challenged, etc. Have you thought about fostering birds until they are re-homed, or otherwise providing intermediate care for them? I realize it might be too much and too soon for you; however, if you're the type of person I imagine you to be, you get the most from life by giving/channeling your energies to causes close to your heart. I hope you'll consider sharing your unique ability with some parrots out there who need someone like you. I know firsthand how noisy and loud parrots can be -- so being a parrot-whisperer might be an oxymoron, but if anyone can, it's you! Cheers to you and Jason from a friend in TH-camLand!
Awww....that's the saddest thing I have heard in a long time. Rachel will always be grateful for the years with you, and your partner. This has happen'd two my dog some years ago and it's tragic. Don't beat yourself up wondering why my friend. Maybe, in time, you could adopt another parrot, there are many that need rescuing. You have a great many skills to give another bird, not just anyone can look after a Macaw. Darren and Popeye
JASON I'm so sorry for your loss she was a good bird. You gave her a good life. She was happy. I know how you feel I lost my parrot she was 21 was hard very hard. I have 3 birds all small guys. I lost my sister took in her love bird. I love them. Hope your feeling better. Your in my thoughts and prayers. Take care Michael.
Dear Jason, I was youtubing videos of blue macaws and immediately came across your channel. The first video I watched was Rachel and you talking to each other and you would call her name and she would lightly hop on your shoulder. 5 min after I saw this video... I am incredibly sorry for your lost ; I lost my chinchilla last year and it still haunts me whenever I talk about him. Thank you so much for making this channel! You are amazing, sweet, and incredible. I am sure Rachel misses you as well and may you always be cheerful in the future.
I share your tears and heart wrenching grief. Our companions share a relationship with us unlike no other, ever! Be happy in the fact that with you and Jason she had a beautiful life, not so with somebody else. You shared life with her and you saw her onto her next. Look and be aware around you for signs she's sending you that she is near. I believe that someone will come into your life, Rachael approved. I thank you for being bravevand sharing....
No doubt that the eagle you saw flying in the sky was a sign from Rachel. And what made it more special was that you saw it right after you spoke of your depression and worry about going back to work. Rachel is always in your heart and she doesn't want your heart to be heavy with sadness. My prayers are for you. I hope that you let go of some of the hurt that you feel and seek a sense of peace. ❤
Jason I am really sorry about your macaw. Some people may say its just a bird but those people don't know what its like to have a Macaw. They are literally like a 3 year old child who never grows. I would feel just as shattered about my Macaw passing away as a loved one.
I'm deeply sadden by this, i had to grab the tissue box. No words can explain the loss of sweet Rachel. I'm soooo sorry to hear this. She will live on in your heart and memories of her. I'm heartbroken ; ( I'll pray for you.
She probably had mini heart attacks, or stroke up until the Vet appointment. That’s when they normally pass on during or after anesthesia. Not a lot of research on parrots and anesthesia. I wished you were allowed to go back and hold her when they put the mask on them. She was stressed probably being whisked away and thinking she was being left there for good and that you didn’t love her.
Jason I am so sorry for the loss of your featherbaby Rachael. I can understand the impact her passing has on you and your husband. She has crossed over the rainbow bridge and will be waiting for you. Seek help for your illness. You are not alone. Get well and follow your heart.
I know this is a year in the past, but I'm sorry about this happened. Losing a loved one, a family member, is one of the hardest things that you can experience. I hope that wounds have healed and that there are more sunny days for you and your husband. Keep Rachel's memory alive, and remember all of the great times you were able to share with her. I'm sending my love, and best wishes.
Omg im so sad . I had watched these videos for awhile.. never knowing he was truly my neighbor. In my same town . Till i saw his obituary in the paper and it mentioned him being predeaced by his beloved blue and gold mccaw rachel ..
Your husband is lucky to have you. You are not only very handsome, you seem like an absolute sweetheart. I know it’s the internet so who knows but just take my compliment 😊
I'm very saddened Jason & Jason on hearing of Rachel. Her time with you was too short. As you look around and see the little reminders of her beaks handiwork on your mouldings and other woodwork, the low chuckle that comes from inside is a fitting reminder of your love for each other.
Hi Jason(2);. Just checking in on you to see how you're doing. I hope each day gets a little brighter and your heart aches a little less. I hope you are doing better.
Sorry for your loss. I wished the Vet would of let you go back with her and be there when put under anesthesia....I have been told sometimes when the owners aren’t allowed back with them, the parrots heart rate goes up and then they’re more stressed, not always a positive outcome.
gosh i have no idea what to say, i kept checking to see if you uploaded and then i stopped cause of college and some stuff, and i just checked today, oh gosh i cant believe it i am so so sorry, i couldnt even type this i have been bawling omg, i am so sorry so so sorry, i cant believe it i hope you find the strength to carry on and know that she loved you, RIP Rachel
I'm very sorry for your loss. She was very lucky that she was in a loving home. I love the necklace that you made. That is very sweet. I also look at the circular clay disk with my cat's paw print and name on it that my vet gave to me when my cat passed away. It means the world to me.
I have the same problem suffer from anxiety and know how you feel I lost my grandma in 2014 and then my uncle a year later then I lost my to oldest males dogs this year and also my grand son passed thay all passed this year
Oh no ! When my kid with Autism finally find your channel and love your videos I see that ! 6 years ago 😢 I wait youre ok now ! Sad because pets are family ❤
Jason, I would love to know the details about how Rachel bullied(?) Russell! BGs can be pretty intimidating when they want to be! Much love, your TH-camr friends
Dear Jason's! I am so sorry for Your loss and i Know exactly how you feel 😢😢😢 i lost my green winged baby girl 10 months last week to av fox and that's tearing me apart Even when i have 5 other parrots 😔 You have lost Your Child and nothing can get it undone... I believe Rachel had serious heart problems before you webtjenester to the vet and that's why she died at the hospital 😔😔 I Hope you will Open Your heart and home to another bird because that will do you good Even if it's not Rachel but av baby that will give you joy and laughter too
Hello Jason, I am very sorry for your loss.... I know how it feels to lose a pet, that is actually much more a family member... It's heartbreaking, and I had trouble keeping my eyes dry watching this vid...
Dear Jason, I cried along with you while watching this vlog. I have a Blue & Gold named Madison. I bought her from a breeder that I didn't know and found out the day after buying her that she had a heart murmur. The breeder wanted me to put her down but I didn't! I couldn't! This bird was so sweet and loving and deserved a chance at life. I have had Madison almost 6 years now. She loves watching the Jason and Rachel show. You definitely have a gift with birds. I could see the love between you and Rachel. Heck! Madison was falling in love with you! She gets very still and listens to every word and sound that Rachel's would speak. Madison says a lot of the same things you taught Rachel and almost everyday she asks, where's Rachel bird! I love my pets like my children. I understand your pain but I promise, God will help heal your hurt if you let Him. Although Rachel can never be replaced, one day, you might find yourself ready to love another bird or special pet that may have been abused and/or living in a very sad life. What joy and life you could bring to that pet. I believe you are a special person and I am taken by your humbleness. It's ok to grieve and cry and yell if you need to do that. You loved Rachel like your child. Rachel is not hurting and in a wonderful place right now. If she could come back, she probably wouldn't because she is so happy. Rachel would want you to be happy. I will keep you in my prayers and as for me and Madison, we will continue to enjoy watching the Jason and Rachel show! Thank you Jason for sharing Rachel with us. She was a bright star to me and Madison!
We are so very sorry to learn about Rachel......we loved her, may she rest in peace on her eternal perch. Thank you for this video, Jason. Lots of love from New Zealand.
I feel very sorry for you and sorry for her too. Rest in peace Rachel. Hats off to you and Rachel. And also, are you thinking of getting another bird like her? Or'a different one? Or just stopped getting another bird?
Hey jason! Me and my macaw Templado followed you and Rachel for a long time. It was a real shock to hear that Rachel died. I miss you and Rachel, you were a bit 'family' to us. How are you now? Are you okay? I really wonder! Greetings x
Thank you everyone for the condolences.
IthacaJason hi Jason. I am Everett. I was a big fan of you and Rachel. I was so sorry to hear the sad news. I have always had parrots. I really wish you would contact me.

RIP Rachel the coolest macaw ever
Dear Jason, I am deeply sorry for your cute little Rachel bird and also very sorry to hear, what you've been going through. It's heartbreaking to see you so sad, made me cry too and I feel like giving you a big hug, telling you, you are not alone. Thank you for sharing your story and your honesty!!! Oceans of love from the other side of the world. A friend from Germany :-)
Thank you for the virtual hugs.
You're most welcome. I would like to add, that I am going through similar difficulties like you, and I know what it's like. I am suffering from a panic disorder and also sometimes depressions, although I have not lost someone yet. I just want to say that I strongly believe in the power of the deceased one, and if we have been close to them, theire ascension has a lot of strong influence on us. First we react with sadness, but if we can overcome this, it is ment to be for some great change in life. And I guess, if you are struggeling with depressions, and if you hate your job, just ask yourself what you really would like to do. There must be something! Me for example, I was working fulltime as a kindergardenteacher, but actually I am a professional puppeteer and acting artist, and I became sick, because I neglected my artistic talents. So I am slowly, slowly working on this and decided, I will work as an artist again. I shit on money and secure job, to me is important, that I am happy. So Jason, there must be something, you would like to do, may be Rachels spirit can guide you. Trust your inner powers! When you say, you hate your job, Rachels death is not the only reason why you became sick!! I know what I'm talking about! God bless you Jason
Wow what a great inspiring story, congratulations for following your heart, and your passions as a puppeteer. When you do what you like for work, you never have worked a day in your life, rather you are pursuing your calling. I am sure you are bringing lots of joy to other thru your gifts. Bless you and of course Jason, he is processing a lot, it is very understandable he has a very heart felt bond with Rachel, and I believe it will remain forever as spirit is eternal.
Brandt McCall Oh thank you for your lovely comment!!! Yeah, following your heart is the most important thing. Maybe Rachel came into Jasons life, to inspire him, to follow his heart. Allthough he lost her now (only her material being) it is suppose to be for a greater purpose! I was thinking lately, why he wouldn't do something with animals, because I think the special thing in all his Videos with Rachel is his abilityor talent to handle her, what the bond between her and him made so special! I don't know how old Jason is, I guess in the middle of 30?...it's never to late for a new start!!!! All the best to Jason!!!! What doesn't kill you, only makes you stronger!!
Yes I do agree Jason has a very caring heart which I think animals/birds and people well we are animals too resonate with. As we can all see on youtube spending time with birds/animals bring him much joy to, he senses their spirit like he did with dear Rachel. I thought a calling of his maybe something to do with animals/birds too just like you perhaps even volunteering at a parrot rescue while he is healing as he has so much love to give. And/or getting some training as a vet assistant, or a groomer, or starting his own pet daycare such as they have in Japan where people leave their animals for the day and other people can come in and order a snack (vegetarian snacks as these are all animal lovers!), and play with the pets the other people have left for the day while they are working or whatever they are doing.
Yes we are giving many beautiful challenges in our wonderful lives to help makes us grow, live to our potential emotionally to spiritually and be stronger, I do agree with you. Wishing you, Jason, and all beings on this magnificent planet happiness!
dear jason...
i'm so sad and sorry of your loss ... 😢
rachel was a amazing and beautiful Macaw..
I loved your Videos.. 😔
Now She is in Heaven- but always in your Heart....
Head high Jason.. You're not alone..
Many greetings from Nadine (Geramny- Cologne)....
Thank you Nadine! :-)
IthacaJason hi Jason how did she pass away? It's ok if you don't want to answer this?
God holds that beautiful soul of a young bird, Rachel. Amen. God bless that bird, you never didn't have the best voice! She is watching you from little birds heaven, god bless her.
Dear Jason, this was both heartbreaking and heartwarming. thank you so much for making this video. It was obviously something that took a long time for you to be able to do. I'm sure you realize that all of your TH-cam friends and subscribers were very very concerned. I guess some of us for bracing ourselves for this announcement. 😢😢😢 Rachel was a real delight, and, thanks to TH-cam, will continue to be so!! Hi, isn't as well as many others here, can empathize and have been through this pain-many of us numerous times with our collective furried, feathered and scaled-and such- loved ones. The loss is immense. I have also found great comfort and keeping the ashes of my precious miniature schnauzer, Brunne, past back and December 2010, although sometimes it seems like yesterday I do have the comfort of having her wooden urn with her harness and homemade beaded collar. Just this year we have endured loss of two precious hamsters and a bunny.
Thank you for the kind words.
is it possible that your parrot may have accidentally eat any of the soap or shampoos in bathroom??? did you any soap lying around that bathroom?
IthacaJason despite the video being quite old now, I was very sad to watch you describing the harrowing situation you had been in.
From time-to-time and for many years I have shared the anxieties, stress, depression and PTSD symptoms you mentioned and my heart really went out to you. You needed a long and loving hug and I'm sure your husband gave you that. Plus, there's one from me, here in the north of England as an extra.
I hope you have recovered enough to rejoin the workforce and have found a new career path.
I truly, truly hope that you got through this and you're both looking to the future without forgetting the happiness you've had in the past making memories.
No doubt that the eagle you saw flying in the sky was a sign from Rachel. And what made it more special was that you saw it right after you spoke of your depression and worry about going back to work. Rachel is always in your heart and she doesn't want your heart to be heavy with sadness.
My prayers are for you. I hope that you let go of some of the hurt that you feel and seek a sense of peace. ❤
Lauren Swiatko Amén 😊
I'll never know why you thought there was no way out, Jason, no alternative, but I am very sorry to hear today that you did feel that way. I wish I could have been there to talk to you, console you perhaps.
Jason J. Seymour: February 15, 1977 - November 3, 2017
R.I.P., beautiful, gentle man.
I am not much of pet person and just randomly saw your 2 or 3 videos. I must say I am very moved with your kindness. You have taken a very good care of one of the God's Creation. You will go to Heaven and and there Rachel will be once again united with you eternally, no stress, no time keeping, no vets, just you and your loves ones with Rachel.
I am so sorry for the loss of your bird😞
Thank you.
I'm so sorry 😭😭😭😭😭. Rachel and you were a good and enjoyable couple! We never forget her! Cheer up!
Thank you Carolina.
Dear Jason, words cannot adequately express my heartfelt condolences for the loss of your Rachel. I have a special place in my heart for Blue and Gold Macaws, having hand fed, raised, and bonded with a very special one, myself. The relationship you shared with Rachel was a joy to watch unfold. Your grief is palpable; I wish I could help ease it. Each and every video you posted on You Tube clearly showed the love, trust, and adoration Rachel had for you. You were both blessed to have found each other, to love each other, and I believe she waited for you in the end to say farewell. I'm sure she kept on flying, free as ever...or more. I'm interested to hear Jason's words, but only if you think it will help You in your grieving process. Your and Rachel's lives have touched mine; I thank you for sharing pieces of your lives with me. I'd wondered why it had been so long since your last upload, hoping you were simply enjoying life. I believe we ache as deeply as we love, and your pain is in direct relationship and contrast to the incredible love in your heart that transcended species. Jason, please know you are not alone.
Godspeed, Rachel.
Thank you very much Karen
Hi Jason/s! Just checking back with you guys to see how you're faring. Don't think for a minute that just because you've been quiet that you and Rachel aren't thought about with a smile ... and a tear or two ... regularly. At the end of the day, month, journey, its all about relationships and love.
@@kMeijer Very sadly, I regret to inform that I learned today of Jason having taken his own life on November 3, 2017.
10mintwo - I read this with a very heavy heart. What a beautiful soul this man had. Fly free, Jason ... forever, or more. The world is a brighter place for having you in it. Godspeed.
10mintwo - thank you for taking your time to let me know. I've never been as moved by someone who I knew only through TH-cam uploads. Sending you heartfelt condolences.
I just read the rest of the posts. I know Jason, your in heaven with your Rachel.... Together for ever eternity. RIP Jason and RIP Rachel. Loved you channel.
That is heartbreaking 💔
Awww man, that's the saddest news. Sincere condolences on your loss and ours....
Thank you P
Oh Jason, I'm so sorry. It's never easy, and Rachel was so lucky to have you and your husband. I send you both hugs and hope things get better for you from here. Hang in there and know that you have a lot of people rooting for you.
Thank you!
“... and the bird flew on, free as ever - maybe more...” -AE Clements
I'm so very very sorry for your heartbreaking loss of the beautiful Rachel, your baby forever...my heart breaks for you and your husband..
Thank you
Hi Jason, if you're still on here, how old was Rachel when she died, and when you first got her.....I was balling my eyes out the entire time!!!!! my heart...Rachel's legacy lives on!
Sorry.. One more "PS:" (correction from mic error from first comment) "I, as well as many here.....) not "Hi....🙄 I sometimes rely too much on the mic when posting comments via my iPhone!! 🙄🙄
I came here to write to Jason, but have learned that he has passed and I'm so very shocked and saddened. My mum and I used to watch his videos and loved them so much. She is now in a home with late stage Dementia and she hardly speaks. The strange thing is it's very much like talking to Rachel. I say something and a lot of the time she doesn't respond and sometimes she does. The other night I was on the phone to her and it was mostly silence and I said "Whatcha doin?" and she just like Rachel replied "Whatcha doin?" and I find that just by saying that I at least get a little response. My relationship with my mother is now just like Jason and Rachel's, which is strange to imagine. I miss her so much as she was, but we still have a beautiful relationship and I wanted to thank Jason for the little catchphrase that helps us connect and showing me that love and patience gets paid back. Rest in peace Rachel and Jason.
Jason in response to "Ahhhh, thank you very much. I thought about doing something more on You Tube. I'd love to be the next You Tube Millionaire, just don't know what I would do, what the people want or need! Any producers out there in hollywood or NYC? "
First let me say I'm so very very sorry for your loss but then let me say to your husband no disrespect is meant but you're kind of friggin sexy bro and they're all kinds of videos that you could make as a matter of fact until I graduated college I did some and it pays great. I'm sorry your feeling the way you do. All these people offering to be there for you I'm certain I couldn't be of more help than them but add me to the list. And I get the first copy of you do ever make it into that type of industry hot stuff.
I second that
Your so sexy dude and I'm sorry About your loss
Thanks! :-) Someday!!!
:-) Thank you Alex.
+Captn Hook - WTF?? "First let me say" no actually that was your 2nd point. You wrote about yourself being a youtube millionaire 1st. Then talking about how sexy & hot he is. And, wait, did you just suggest he does porn videos because it pays great.? And you want the 1st copy of the video if he makes it in that industry? Just poor choice dude. Not the right time, place or subject.
I hope someone finds the horrible breeders and puts them out of business. And locks them up and throws away the key. In honor of Rachel and Jason.
I lost my cat I had for 15 years about a year ago, he was my world and my best friend. At the time I was still taking antidepressants for bad depression, anxiety, panic attacks, social phobia and just generally being a mess. I'm still grieving too and I know exactly how you feel but please give yourself time, I promise you will get the calling you're waiting for, maybe in an unexpected place. For now you need to focus on yourself and your health, in time you will figure this whole thing out. I adopted another rescue cat who needed a home earlier this year and a week ago I was finally strong enough to quit the antidepressants. I'm still not all the way better, I don't know if I will ever be but time has fixed a lot of my troubles, you need to stick to it. Let your loved ones help you with your depression and anxiety and take it easy for now. Remember that you were Rachel's best friend too and she would want nothing else for you but happiness. xoxo
Thank you Stephanie for the kind words.
Hi Jason, I've been following Rachel and you since the past 4-5 years. Watched and enjoyed watching all the videos, and wondering why the lack of new ones. Really, really sad to hear about Rachel - such a beautiful, gentle soul. She's in a good place now. I hope you feel better soon, please give it time. Lots of healing coming your way from Pakistan.
Tayyaba
Thank you Tayyaba! :-)
omg Jason i'm so so sorry for your loss of the beautiful Rachel. I do know what you are going through. I had a cockateil from birth Jack i called him. He was just like Rachel, i took him in the car with me. i taught him to talk. i lived to hear " what ya doing " all the time. the conversations we had and the absolute silky games he played would make you laugh so hard. then my daughter came along and he was like a guard. he would sit over her and just watch her sing to her. i had jack for 10 years until the unfortunate time that my mother " accidently " let him out and off he flew. no way such a tiny bird would have survived. i cried for 2 years afterwards. i was so lonely without my little pal. he was just like a son to me. i truly hope that you do ok and can get through all this knowing that rachel is up there smiling and squawking down at you. i send you and jason all my love.
thank you very much. Smiling at me and laughing at me, yes. Squawking, I could do without. ha ha. So sad to hear of your fly aways. As I said to the person below I sure wish they knew how to get home.
Yes that would be wonderful. I would deary love that rascal back. I swear to this day i still hear him whistling but deep down know its not. Be strong, hang in there. You will survive with beautiful memories. And also one who has gone through a lt of crap and depression, i am always a ear away for a chat. You cheered me up for a lot of years.
Part 2: sorry for the length of this comment. I am just so touched. . I sincerely believe that you and Jason should consider bringing another feathered son or daughter into your lives! There are so many and rescue wanting forever homes. Sometimes the bigger cuties have a longer waits. Like Rachel, our family Indian ringneck (my precious grand-birdie❤️😊)came via a breeder however, should I be blessed to welcome another feathered love one I would certainly go to the rescues! this would also be an honor to Rachel, in my humble opinion It would be wonderful to hear Jason's account!you have many subscribers and, as I mentioned before, I'm sure many have been concerned and would love to share in honoring Rachel. Her videos are precious. BTW-I also understand what it's like to be on disability and have to ponder your future calling!! Best of luck and support in that endeavor. All love to you and Jason (and any of her extended family and friends !) from NJ. ❤️❤️😘
Just read about Jason's passing a year ago. This video is so much more heartbreaking knowing this news - Jason, thank you for sharing your beautiful bird with us. I hope you are at peace and have reunited with her. RIP.
I read now and my heart is broken 😢😢😢😢 so sad.
Hi Rachel & Jason (She is indeed an everlasting star) -- so yeah, I cried throughout the video like I haven't in years. I have lost a parrot that I had since I was a kid and I had to carry the loss with me for so many years. I just want to tell you that you are a very special person, and with all the pain that you are going through, just know that we are lucky to have people like you in this world; loving, caring, sensitive.. please, for us, don't give up. Let Rachel's legacy be the mission for you to find happiness once again. Thank you so much for sharing this intimate moment. Although Rachel was not my bird, I was so happy every time you uploaded a video. Maybe this is not the time, but perhaps you should consider getting a new bird. It helped me after a few years and I now have a loving bird. I still haven't forgotten that first bird.. it just helped me so much. Help us help you, Jason. :-) The social network like Twitter and Instagram.. it does help cause you connect with people who feel just like you do, who could support. And you & Rachel have MANY supporters and fans. We love you both and please don't sign out for too long. We want to hear that you are moving on, with all the difficulties and be a part of your journey. Peace out and much much much love to Rachel.
Thanks King Bach. Yes please sure widely. Any proceeds I will likely be donating to a bird rescue.
That's so sad. I've only known about this channel for about a week, and I've fallen in love with the beautiful Rachel. I really hope you get better soon, and stop having these bad stuff happen to you. I would love to see some new videos of you just randomly talking, or something else. Within the week of knowing you two, you guys never failed to put a smile on my face when I was feeling down.
Ahhhh, thank you very much. I thought about doing something more on You Tube. I'd love to be the next You Tube Millionaire, just don't know what I would do, what the people want or need! Any producers out there in hollywood or NYC? I would love to host a game show too! :-)
Just do what you are doing, speak from your heart, this is is healing and nice for people. In a few weeks or when you are ready consider giving everyone updates on how you are feeling and any other memories of Rachel you are having.
I am so very sorry :-( I am just seeing this almost 2 yrs later with tears streaming down my cheeks my heart breaks for you and Rachel
me and my sisters used to love watching Rachel we thought she was amazing and so funny. I remembered about her today and went on your channel and seen this video. I'm so upset for you 🙁 r.i.p Rachel bird god bless xx
I wish I could reach through my phone and just hold you. Losing any pet is heart wrenching. But it's important to remember that even though they are just here for a small portion of our life, for them, we are their whole life. Take comfort in knowing that she knew she was loved.
Perfectly said.
Rachel was one of my favorite birds to watch. So sorry, Jason and Jason. xoxo

I am so sorry for the loss of Rachel, Jason! Your video hit home for me in so many ways, I am crying with you. When my George died, I was so depressed, I wanted to die too to be with him. It's been more than two years and it still kills me. I saved his feathers but I wish I would have saved more while he was alive. I admire you so much for making this video, I think it will help a lot of people going through the same thing that have no one who understands. I hope one day when you are ready, a new special parrot comes in to your life, sent by Rachel.
I'm sorry for your loss, Jason!!!
Thank you Constantine.
Teary eyes i am as well dude....
I'm so sorry for your loss.
I can't imagine the heartache of losing her.
thank you
I am so sorry to hear about Rachel...I always wondered what happened to her..I have seen that one video several times. When you own a bird, you find out how sweet and funny they are...I had two parakeets fly away the weekend of our Gay Pride back in 2015..had them 7 years and still look for them in the sky...take care.
oh no, that's so sad. I wish they knew how to get home.
hi...i sent you a private message...have a good weekend
P.S. We all have lost someone and they are all watching over us.
I feel your pain so much. I hope you can heal xxx
Wow, so very sorry. I truly feel your pain and tears. Until one ever experiences the love and bond of a pet, especially a bird, they will never understand what you are going thru. Perhaps Rachel will help with the bird autopsy in teaching the vets what happened and be able to help other birds.
I had a similar experience with a quaker parrot, Keiko. People said she was my 'soul mate'. I will always remember and love her. It was heart wrenching and I thought no other could ever replace her. But after awhile Sheena came into my life and she was even more loveable and personable. Will never forget Keiko, but I love how my God loves me so much that He knew what I needed when Sheena came along. Go on my channel to see vids of both Keiko and Sheena.
P.S.
I admire your courage to share with us and be vulnerable with raw emotions. You are truly a special, compassionate, and loving human being. I pray God will bring another special bird in your life to help you. He has always been there for me - praying He will bless you with another to share your adorableness with and start a new chapter. I subbed and will keep you in prayer if that's ok with you. Hoping to see old vids of you and Rachel and maybe more of someone new. God Bless, Linda
altough we live a world apart - I live in Belgium, Europe - I share the same experience as you, Jason. on May the 21st in 2015, I lost Loui, my alba cockatoo, due to a very rapid fungal infection taking over his little body. I too wear his wrestband around my neck, his ashes are standing next to my bedside....
I cried for you and Rachel, and felt the pain again of losing my precious lil' Louie.
On april the 2nd 2016, I bought a baby blue & gold macaw. Templado is the New Joy in my life. Suffering from lyme desease and ptsd (Child abuse survivor), Templado helps me through the days. He is the best therapy I'll have and became my New soulmate. I swear, sometimes I see al little bit of my Louie in his eyes :)
Although I never thought to find a new friend and soulmate, I did, and bit by bit I'm moving on again, loving and living once more.
Big hugs and I wish you alle the best, Jason. I'm sure Rachel watches over you xxx
Thank you for sharing your story. Oh no, lymes disease and ptsd... I am in fear of lyme, and have a bit of mild ptsd myself. I hope your LD is managed well, I did research on it, it is still not fully understood in the medical community.

Oh my god! I was a fan of Rachel. I am really, really so sad that I played this video! I was trying to remember her name to find her talking videos to show my friend. I first saw her in 2011 or something and didn't forget about you, I just remembered how to search for you both and I am shocked. I am so sorry for your loss Jason. You made me cry too. You were a great couple. I laughed when I first saw you. And I will always remember her as "Raaaachel biiirrddd". Whatcha doin! Rachel birrrddd!!!
Sadly Jason passed away in 2017

Hi Jason,
I really loved you and Rachel
I'm still sad to see this vid. Wish I could turn back time and see you and Rachel being happy together again!
How are you doing yourself? You seem like a truly wonderful person.
Love, from Belgium
Dear Jason, I am very sorry and I understand you because I have been through such pain myself.. Rachel is with you forever, I cried while I listened to your terrible story.. You just know that I will always be happy to hear you, see you, communicate with you.. Thank you and Rachel for your wonderful show. Sorry for my English, I'm from Russia.
Hi Jason. I just saw this video today. I am so sorry for your loss. I love Rachel and so does Jacob my blue and gold macaw. Rachel was an amazing bird. I can't imagine my life without my bird but the reality of it is there, day in and day out. Jacob was diagnosed with Macaw Respiratory Hypersensitivity when he was 3 years old and I almost lost him then. He is now 13 and each day that goes by is cherished as this disease can take him in an instant. Just living with this has been so hard on me but having him is also the best thing in my life. Again Rachel was so very loved by you and all of us on youtube. If you wanted to see Jacob, you can see many of his videos under jacob macaw. I also have videos that show him while sick. RIP beautiful Rachel.
Be Brave Jason. Find your love for another pet again... time will heal everything. Good thing you have all those Rachel recordings uploaded in TH-cam. Good luck to you.
Dear Jason,
I'm so so sorry for your loss. I balled watching this video. I volunteer with macaws, and they are all amazing. I can't imagine losing one that's your own. I would be devastated if one of the macaws at the conservancy I volunteer at passed away... They are all so goofy and amazing. And so was Rachel. Her talking and sounds are so cute. I like to play imitation games with the macaws I work with... and they remind me of Rachel. I pray for that things will get better. Please have hope and stay strong!! I can tell you're a very good hearted person. Perhaps your calling is birds? Stay strong Jason! Please contact me if you want to talk. I too am a huge macaw lover... God bless you
- Jenna
I am so sorry for your loss. I understand and get it. One of the most difficult things in life. Our feathered, furred (and otherwise) family teach us so many things of and about life - as well as unconditional love.
I think your calling should be to adopt/rescue unwanted/abused/neglected feathered friends. Call the place "Rachel's House."
I wish you the best of everything. You can and will make it. I know you will always cherish the memories of her.
Hello Jasons! I'm dropping a note here to let you know, even though Rachel is gone, she and her (Jasons) family remain I the hearts and memories of many, like me. I don't know about the rest of your life, but you have such a gift with birds. Too often, people take on the responsibility of having parrots as pets, only to realize they require far more time and patience than they have to keep the birds healthy, emotionally happy, mentally challenged, etc. Have you thought about fostering birds until they are re-homed, or otherwise providing intermediate care for them? I realize it might be too much and too soon for you; however, if you're the type of person I imagine you to be, you get the most from life by giving/channeling your energies to causes close to your heart. I hope you'll consider sharing your unique ability with some parrots out there who need someone like you. I know firsthand how noisy and loud parrots can be -- so being a parrot-whisperer might be an oxymoron, but if anyone can, it's you! Cheers to you and Jason from a friend in TH-camLand!
Just randomly remembered Jason and Rachel today. I hope you both flying high and happy
Omg just seeing this. So sorry! Truly Sorry. My heart breaks for you! I’m glad you shared this but I hate hearing it. Peace my friend!
ありがとう・・・・・私は長い間 幸せでした。 Rachel♥＆Jason 私の心の中にずっといます。
Awww....that's the saddest thing I have heard in a long time. Rachel will always be grateful for the years with you, and your partner. This has happen'd two my dog some years ago and it's tragic. Don't beat yourself up wondering why my friend. Maybe, in time, you could adopt another parrot, there are many that need rescuing. You have a great many skills to give another bird, not just anyone can look after a Macaw. Darren and Popeye
I'm sorry, man. Stay strong.
Thanks. Trying to.
JASON
I'm so sorry for your loss she was a good bird. You gave her a good life. She was happy. I know how you feel I lost my parrot she was 21 was hard very hard. I have 3 birds all small guys. I lost my sister took in her love bird. I love them. Hope your feeling better. Your in my thoughts and prayers. Take care Michael.
Dear Jason, I was youtubing videos of blue macaws and immediately came across your channel. The first video I watched was Rachel and you talking to each other and you would call her name and she would lightly hop on your shoulder. 5 min after I saw this video... I am incredibly sorry for your lost ; I lost my chinchilla last year and it still haunts me whenever I talk about him. Thank you so much for making this channel! You are amazing, sweet, and incredible. I am sure Rachel misses you as well and may you always be cheerful in the future.
I share your tears and heart wrenching grief. Our companions share a relationship with us unlike no other, ever! Be happy in the fact that with you and Jason she had a beautiful life, not so with somebody else. You shared life with her and you saw her onto her next. Look and be aware around you for signs she's sending you that she is near. I believe that someone will come into your life, Rachael approved. I thank you for being bravevand sharing....
Rip Rachel and Jason. I know you both are flying high and so happy together. Miss you both alot
What? Did Jason die?
Yeah apparently according to one of the other comments, and i saw a beautiful obituary for Jason. I think it was done by Jasons husband. But yeah.
I think its been years now
November 2017.
No doubt that the eagle you saw flying in the sky was a sign from Rachel. And what made it more special was that you saw it right after you spoke of your depression and worry about going back to work. Rachel is always in your heart and she doesn't want your heart to be heavy with sadness.
My prayers are for you. I hope that you let go of some of the hurt that you feel and seek a sense of peace. ❤
thank you very much. More hurt is coming back now as I process through this video. I couldn't watch it all the way through, I just posted it.
dear Jason, why don't you keep another Macaw ?!
this is good for you.
you can have second Rachel.
Loved watching you and Rachel, you had a great bond. I know loosing any animal is like loosing a family member.
Sorry for your loss.
thank you
Jason I am really sorry about your macaw. Some people may say its just a bird but those people don't know what its like to have a Macaw. They are literally like a 3 year old child who never grows. I would feel just as shattered about my Macaw passing away as a loved one.
I'm deeply sadden by this, i had to grab the tissue box. No words can explain the loss of sweet Rachel. I'm soooo sorry to hear this. She will live on in your heart and memories of her. I'm heartbroken ; ( I'll pray for you.
She probably had mini heart attacks, or stroke up until the Vet appointment. That’s when they normally pass on during or after anesthesia. Not a lot of research on parrots and anesthesia. I wished you were allowed to go back and hold her when they put the mask on them. She was stressed probably being whisked away and thinking she was being left there for good and that you didn’t love her.
Jason I am so sorry for the loss of your featherbaby Rachael. I can understand the impact her passing has on you and your husband. She has crossed over the rainbow bridge and will be waiting for you. Seek help for your illness. You are not alone. Get well and follow your heart.
I know this is a year in the past, but I'm sorry about this happened. Losing a loved one, a family member, is one of the hardest things that you can experience. I hope that wounds have healed and that there are more sunny days for you and your husband. Keep Rachel's memory alive, and remember all of the great times you were able to share with her. I'm sending my love, and best wishes.
Omg im so sad . I had watched these videos for awhile.. never knowing he was truly my neighbor. In my same town . Till i saw his obituary in the paper and it mentioned him being predeaced by his beloved blue and gold mccaw rachel ..
Fuck, I have the same Macaw and am scared to death of the vulnerability of these birds.
Your husband is lucky to have you. You are not only very handsome, you seem like an absolute sweetheart. I know it’s the internet so who knows but just take my compliment 😊
I'm very saddened Jason & Jason on hearing of Rachel. Her time with you was too short. As you look around and see the little reminders of her beaks handiwork on your mouldings and other woodwork, the low chuckle that comes from inside is a fitting reminder of your love for each other.
Hi Jason(2);. Just checking in on you to see how you're doing. I hope each day gets a little brighter and your heart aches a little less. I hope you are doing better.
So very sorry Jason,Rachel was a beautiful bird!
My heart breaks for you, may she fly forever free across the rainbow bridge and she'll be waiting for you xxxx
Jason, I am so so sorry about Rachel. She was a wonderful bird. I hope you are doing better these days.
Sorry for your loss. I wished the Vet would of let you go back with her and be there when put under anesthesia....I have been told sometimes when the owners aren’t allowed back with them, the parrots heart rate goes up and then they’re more stressed, not always a positive outcome.
Jason tell Jason we said hi and we loved to watch you and Rachel...😰😥😭😢😥
gosh i have no idea what to say, i kept checking to see if you uploaded and then i stopped cause of college and some stuff, and i just checked today, oh gosh i cant believe it i am so so sorry, i couldnt even type this i have been bawling omg, i am so sorry so so sorry, i cant believe it i hope you find the strength to carry on and know that she loved you, RIP Rachel
I'm very sorry for your loss. She was very lucky that she was in a loving home. I love the necklace that you made. That is very sweet. I also look at the circular clay disk with my cat's paw print and name on it that my vet gave to me when my cat passed away. It means the world to me.
So, sorry to hear about Rachel. She was an amazing girl.
I am so sorry for your loss.
ty
in my opinion, animals are the best friends of human, especially some intelligent animals like dogs, cats, parrots etc.
I will pray for her to give her rest in peach in god 🏠🙏🐦 house . every one who love her should pray for her
oh oh so sad, don't worry u will feel better. R.I.P Rachel
RIP Rachel it's very sad for you Rachel was a good bird
OMFG this is so sad, ruined my night. I have two parrots and it's devastating to lose one.
I have the same problem suffer from anxiety and know how you feel I lost my grandma in 2014 and then my uncle a year later then I lost my to oldest males dogs this year and also my grand son passed thay all passed this year
So sorry for your loss. I have a Senigal that is 30 years old they truly become a family member.
Oh no ! When my kid with Autism finally find your channel and love your videos I see that ! 6 years ago 😢 I wait youre ok now ! Sad because pets are family ❤
God I know now that hes dead also ! So sad 😢
Jason, I would love to know the details about how Rachel bullied(?) Russell! BGs can be pretty intimidating when they want to be!
Much love, your TH-camr friends
LOL, Oh its mostly a joke. Russell showed fear and I think Rachel was just making him even more scared. She's a jokester like that.
Dear Jason's!
I am so sorry for Your loss and i Know exactly how you feel 😢😢😢
i lost my green winged baby girl 10 months last week to av fox and that's tearing me apart Even when i have 5 other parrots 😔 You have lost Your Child and nothing can get it undone...
I believe Rachel had serious heart problems before you webtjenester to the vet and that's why she died at the hospital 😔😔
I Hope you will Open Your heart and home to another bird because that will do you good Even if it's not Rachel but av baby that will give you joy and laughter too
Thank you the kind words. I may consider another bird when the time is right.
Rachel is playing with my dogs, my cat, and my hamster where we will all be, some day.
Noooo :( me and my ex used to watch her videos. Pretty bird will be missed
Hello Jason,
I am very sorry for your loss.... I know how it feels to lose a pet, that is actually much more a family member... It's heartbreaking, and I had trouble keeping my eyes dry watching this vid...
Thank you Lori for the kind words.
Dear Jason, I cried along with you while watching this vlog. I have a Blue & Gold named Madison. I bought her from a breeder that I didn't know and found out the day after buying her that she had a heart murmur. The breeder wanted me to put her down but I didn't! I couldn't! This bird was so sweet and loving and deserved a chance at life. I have had Madison almost 6 years now. She loves watching the Jason and Rachel show. You definitely have a gift with birds. I could see the love between you and Rachel. Heck! Madison was falling in love with you! She gets very still and listens to every word and sound that Rachel's would speak. Madison says a lot of the same things you taught Rachel and almost everyday she asks, where's Rachel bird! I love my pets like my children. I understand your pain but I promise, God will help heal your hurt if you let Him. Although Rachel can never be replaced, one day, you might find yourself ready to love another bird or special pet that may have been abused and/or living in a very sad life. What joy and life you could bring to that pet. I believe you are a special person and I am taken by your humbleness. It's ok to grieve and cry and yell if you need to do that. You loved Rachel like your child. Rachel is not hurting and in a wonderful place right now. If she could come back, she probably wouldn't because she is so happy. Rachel would want you to be happy. I will keep you in my prayers and as for me and Madison, we will continue to enjoy watching the Jason and Rachel show! Thank you Jason for sharing Rachel with us. She was a bright star to me and Madison!
Thank you Tonda for those beautiful words. I am so glad that Madison loves watching the videos! :-)
We are so very sorry to learn about Rachel......we loved her, may she rest in peace on her eternal perch. Thank you for this video, Jason. Lots of love from New Zealand.
Thanks Diego from New Zealand
I feel very sorry for you and sorry for her too. Rest in peace Rachel. Hats off to you and Rachel. And also, are you thinking of getting another bird like her? Or'a different one? Or just stopped getting another bird?
Jason sadly is no more between us, he flew away in 2017
Hey jason! Me and my macaw Templado followed you and Rachel for a long time. It was a real shock to hear that Rachel died. I miss you and Rachel, you were a bit 'family' to us. How are you now? Are you okay? I really wonder! Greetings x
Sadly Jason passed away in 2017, he is no more between us...
