- Sunny the red crested turaco is training for public presentations! She has a lot to learn before she can take her talents on the road, but with her bright and curious personality we're all enjoying the journey to success. One crucial step is learning to enjoy her travel crate. Watch her progress with her training and we hope you enjoy her as much as we do!

She is SO shiny!! What an incredible character :)
I am speed!!
I am obsessed with Sunny. She's so gorgeous and sweet, clearly intelligent.
She seems like she has a lot of energy, which means she should be receptive to training and learning tricks. That would be a great way to keep her active while at a show, so she doesn't get bored and fly off. Especially if you can find certain things that show off parts of body (wings, claws, beak, ect), or how turacos behave in the wild. Even seeing if she could fly over the students to a co-worker, or someone from the audience would be really cool.
Yes!!
I think Sunny is my favorite of your birds. She's so beautiful and kind of funny at the same time. I love that she's so curious.
The intro never gets old
Sunny is so gorgeous!! I am happy to hear about her progress, people are going to be so pleased to meet her!
So fun to watch her jump from your arm to the perch haha
I love her holographic plumage! Training vids like this are some of my favorites.
Beautiful girl, Sunny! I never would have thought of taking the while crate apart, I learnt something new with every video ☺️
I love Sunny!! Such a beautiful bird!
awww what a little character. She likes stretching her wings.... and those duochromatic feathers, wow!
It seems like blueberries are a very popular treat for SO many birds you have.
I love this shiny dinosaur. What is the best thing you've learned from Sunny?
I love that you give her autonomy to show you what she's comfortable with, and showing her the respect you hope to have reciprocated.

Sunny is an absolutely beautiful bird. The way she interacted with you was such a delight to watch.
She's brilliant and bright!
What a ridiculously beautiful and charismatic bird!
Thanks Jessica and Sunny.
It's so amazing to see the animals and then get a glimpse of their intelligence and presence in the world.
It must bring joy to so many people around the world
Oh my, how darling!

She is a gorgeous bird! No question about how intelligent her non-avian dinosaur ancestors were!!
She is so cool! I love her curiosity
Really good training.
What an incredibly iridescent bird. I'm glad you are training her to take her out; everyone should know these amazing animals should exist.
love your videos
What a gorgeous birb
What an awesome bird.
Your videos are the best and YOU!!!!
Do any of the animals get so stuffed on treats that they no longer react to prompts?

If memory serves me right, I think she covered this in another training video.
You are right, and they do get stuffed or bored of the treats.
So she takes a break and tries another day.
I’m trying to think of which animal was doing this…if I remember I can link the video.
That's actually where the term 'fed-up' comes from. It was historically used in falconry to describe a bird that had eaten so much that they weren't hungry anymore and, therefore, wouldn't do whatever you were asking them to. Jessie has talked about this in previous episodes, animals getting bored and/or full is the main reason you should always keep training sessions short. The other important thing is to make sure that the animal only ever gets that particular treat as a training reward, so if they want it they have to work for it.
Sunny is an Internet star, so she knows - boxes are where cats live, of course she wouldn't want to go there. Smart bird.
She's incredibly adorable
She's so shinny
I love all animals and I love your videos
what a beautiful bird.
Amazing videos and informative keep it up.
She is so shinny!
I love watching your videos
She is stunning
Good job! So freaking pretty.
Awww Sunny so beautiful
That is such a beautiful bird!
Hi Jessie! How about setting up pvc perches around your stage area that you can train her to fly to in a certain order? The audience can enjoy watching her fly and it would keep her busy while you talk. :)
I can never get over how beautiful Sunny is 😳😳
She's the prettiest dinosaur!
Great video
She is so clever and beautiful
Do you have any tips for how to start crate/carrier training for a pet who already hates the carrier?
I'd start by target training, then once that behaviour is firmly established, bring the crate into the room. Initially, don't try to target the animal into the crate, just target train them as normal with the crate around. Once they stop reacting to the crate just being there, gradually target them closer to it, then into it and straight back out again, then into it for a bit longer, then into it and shutting the door briefly, etc.
The other thing you could try alongside this is just leaving the crate near to somewhere the pet spends a lot of time doing something it enjoys (like near its bed or food bowl). If it won't even approach them if the crate is nearby, put it some distance away and gradually move it closer over several days. That way the crate becomes something that is just part of its normal environment, rather than something that only appears when it's time to go to the vet. On that note, once your animal is finally comfortable going into the crate, take it for some trips in the crate that aren't to the vet, even if you just drive it around, stop and feed it treats halfway and then go home again. That way the crate isn't only associated with negative experiences.
Whatever you try, expect it to be a long, slow process. It will take much longer to get an animal that already hates crates to be comfortable in one than it would one who'd never seen a crate before.
HI SUNNY!!!!!
Sunny look so big.
Can Sunny learn tricks to keep her busy during the presentations? I don't know what her natural behaviours are but maybe she has some that she could demonstrate as tricks, like some of the smaller parrot type birds demonstrate hanging upside down.
I like how you think! Turacos are really good at running on branches, so we're hoping to showcase that by having her run foot over foot down a straight branch in shows. For reference, parrots have a hard time walking foot over foot, so to move down a branch they will often side step. We're also hoping to capture her defensive wing flare on cue so she can willingly show off her awesome red flight feathers. So we have exciting goals in mind, but it'll take small steps to get there.
@@animalwondersmontana Thank you! Those things sound really good for presentations. Maybe for some shows you could take both Sunny and one of the parrots, so the audience can see how they would move differently on the same branch.
Where did you get that perch that Sunny likes at 2:48?
What a cutie!
I tried to call the number on the website and i sent an email. We took in a guinea turaco and i am hoping to get some advice on correcting her diet as well as info on what size harness she needs for training.
I'm scared of bananas and doors too.
Ok, how many blueberries can fit in them?
Watermelon birb ❤️🤍💚
