Hi guys! That's me! I was definitely nervous and fangirling the whole time! 😅 Lol This class was absolutely pivotal for Future and me! I wish you guys could have seen him at home vs in class - changing the environment helped so, SO much! I was finally able to successfully target him after this, and now he steps up for me reliably and consistently, and we are making such wonderful progress! Thanks Jamie and Dave for such an amazing experience! They are a fantastic teaching duo and it was an honor to have a Masterclass with them! We absolutely will be doing another if we get the chance! Much love! ✌️ ❤ 🦜
I was! He is lightning fast with his biting. If you guys saw the pictures/damage where he degloved someone's thumb at his Rescue, you'd be nervous too! Lol 😅 But we are better now! This class really helped turn a page for us and made such a positive difference! 😊
The way she held the stick made ME a bit nervous. Not only did she feel like she was terrified, but the angle the stick was coming from is really what stood out to me. From the bird’s view, it would be hard to see it even was a stick and not just a dot because the whole foreshortening of the angle would swallow the length and perspective of the stick. I wouldn’t register well how far it was from me and how much I’d need to stretch to reach it. Whenever my birds are insecure about touching the target, coming from a greater angle (almost holding it fully vertically in some cases) helps each time. Low key would think she’d want to poke my eye out if I was the bird 😅
We have been working for a few months to get a step up. My grey used to but doesn't want to anymore. I am taking my time and watching his cues, hoping he will decide to trust me again. He seems to really enjoy training for everything else. Fingers crossed!
This video confirmed my hunch & experience but haven’t seen Dave or Jamieleigh talk much about. It ‘s ALL about energy. When we change our energy, everything changes.
I think we mention it quite a bit, especially in the in home consult or masterclass settings. This video comes to mind of a good example of it but I’m sure there’s more: th-cam.com/video/BP2L-g0rhFE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=p5byzbB1nYp5zlSJ we should probably do an updated video on just chatting about the topic though!
Yes. That's the first thing I check, my own energy, before I approach and interact with my flock. I would calm myself down , before interacting with them.
love all your videos, but i need step 1! you say always use training perch, but how do you get them there if they wont step up? are you towelling them to get them on the training perch.? as far as i can tell this subject never comes up in your videos and i just want to know how to start? i am working on target stick stuff but on the top of the cage only. Macaw is terrified of hands. i can somethimes get her on my shoulder
Hi, may i ask for help here? I have one young and very very aggressive indien ringneck parrot and he wasnt always like that. We were ok together but one day he just turn against me and then he started biting me everywhere and i dont know what to do anymore. I cant get close to him with my hand or he would bite me. Do you have any idea what should i do? Please help me i dont want to lose completly.
@BirdTricks can you please make a video about nail clipping, my parents won’t let me take my birds to the vet to get them trimmed and I can keep them on me, but they are scared of the nail clipper.
Big birds are intimidating for most people because they use their beaks like a hand so when they want to step on you they might use their beak to check its stable, not necessarily going to bite you.
I have adopted a 30 yo African Grey who doesn’t seem to like nut treats. I’ve tried several, but he never gets excited about any of them. His previous owner gave him whatever he was eating. Can anyone give me a list of what else I can try for incentive treats?
Remove the food in the evening. In the morning, offer him a few food treats in his dish, and check what he eats first. That's your training food. Keep it for training so it's a special time with a special reward. Remove the food several hours before you want to train your parrot. If he's not hungry, there is little motivation to train with food rewards. I had a parrot that was crazy for sunflower seeds. He would do anything for it and learned very cool tricks. My current parrot dosen't like sunflower seeds much, but might pay attention for a bit of a whole-grain cracker. He's old though ( late adoption ). Motivation levels aren't what they used to. 🤣
Changing the way you hold your body and being more confident he will know your body language. Instead of reaching your and leaning in towards him stepping with your body and be confident
I have a question 🙋🏻♀️ Do lovebirds and green cheeks get along? 🤔 Is it possible to have them in the same cage (obviously a big cage) ? or would they hurt each other ☹️ Also ps love your channel very educational 🌸👍🏼🦜
in a flight, where they can easily get a few meters away from each other, maybe ... in teh same cage, no. lovebird hens are far too aggressive to share a cage with anyone but their mate -- and even then sometimes you have to separate them because the hen wants eggs and the male is confused about it (and she'll ask by biting!)
I am reading her and she is absolutely terrified of that bird and a little bit neurotic! Wanting to wipe up the bird poo poo the second the bird pooped oh, come on.

How is no one making puns about the bright Future you have in your hands? Jokes aside tho, I wish you both the best! ❤
She's willing to try and learn instead of just giving up on him. Wish her nothing but the best with her beautiful boy.
I saw HER being scared not him. They sure know how to read US.
He seems like a lovely bird. I think she's mistaking him using his beak to check her hand is stable, for him going to bite her.

I hope this bolstered her confidence to work with him and make slow, steady progress to her goals. He's a gorgeous macaw!❤
Loved how she screamed wihtout making a sound 😂 Like that famous painting (the scream) but than in a fun, optimistic way 😄
Everly seems like such a nice lady, Future is beautiful 🤗🦜 I loved seeing him step up 😊
What a beautiful Macaw

After a while, you won't have to ask, they will just do as taught.
@@nikkylandry1163 that would be wonderful!
Awww thanks again guys. ❤

Man that’s so adorable. 🥹 Also Yay! First one to comment!
I agree!

Can I use Rogaine to help regrow one of my Budgie’s tail feathers?
No, do not use any treatment for humans on birds. It can really hurt them. Tail feathers will grow back on their own within a matter of weeks
@@rob379lqz That's awful! Those poor birds :(

To me, the owner is projecting anxiety. Not the bird.

If I took my bird out, he'd fly away the second he got out. Can someone please help me? Why is this?
If you don't trust your bird, or are scared of it, it's not going to trust or be comfortable around you.
Bold move teaching these birds to do karate
I'm sorry I have to say what is with that guy in the black T-shirt like seriously
i do that when I'm tired. Maybe he had an early start that day.
