Sarah Vittrup awe thanks girl! 😊😊😊

@@VictoriaRyann Parrots loss their feathers at the end of their breeding season 😊
If your bird is melting, you probably have a penguin and you should purchase a freezer.
If your bird is melting, that's no bird. You have an icecube my friend.
If you bird Is melting it will turn into water dude
Mengqing Zou No it’ll go from birb to borb to blorb.
😂

My conure has been pretty grumpy this may explain it!!
I don't have any bird and I am not planning to change that, but keep making bird videos, they are really awesome, your birds are soo nice and your bird videos made me subscribe to this channel.
my little baby green cheek is going through her first molt. PERFECT TIMING. always come here for the best info ❤️
Devin Istre my baby sun conure just finished molting for the first time! Wish I watched this video then
aaaaaaaaa! Joy getting head-scritches! And Zoey the chatterbox! and all the other lovely birds! such an adorable and educational video! always love it, Jessi
haha I had no idea what molting was but I clicked when the notification popped up! =)
My bff's green-cheek is grumpy all the time, I haven't seen him molt yet and now I'm shaking my head imagining it.
this is one of my favorite channels. I love learning more about different animals. I hope to see more!!! love it!
This is a great video, thanks! My birds are currently molting :)
This is so helpful! At first I thought my bird was plucking and kept worrying, but your video was just so informing! Now I see he’s molting
Thank you soooo much !! This helped me out so much !!
I don't even own a bird and I found this so fascinating! You learn something new every day!
This was so helpful for me! I’m a first time bird owner, and even though mine is not molting, now I will know I will be prepared.
Thank you Jessi! Very nicely summed up and sweet educational video. I have 2 African Greys and 1 Indian Ring Neck. Happy Bird Loving!
good vid, and lovely birds ;) cheers!
Thank you so much! I'm getting a scarlet macaw in March and this was so helpful. That's a follow from me! :)
Thank you for letting me know I’ll definitely watch that.
We have young peafowl. Raja, our year old peahen, keeps Prince Charming, Fred, and George, our year old peacocks, in line. Peafowl molt gradually through the year, with the exception of the males' train feathers, which will molt after the breeding season is finished each year. Then they gradually grow back, very similarly to antlers in male deer. Molting is fascinating! I find myself saving many of their beautiful molted feathers, lol!
Love the intro! Missed you at Vidcon - hope things are going great - Joy is so sweet!
Everyday Science Hi Jessie! Would have loved to see everyone at Vidcon but had too many things going on to make it happen. I haven't tried it yet, but I bet Joy would like listening to come of your awesome songs!
helping them with those feathers is addicting
Why didn't I know about animal wonders up untill the Quiz Show? The video was so interesting. :) Props to the host too.
Super helpful!!!
Hia! I’m getting a new green cheeked conure and if LOVE if you could give me information on what to do when it first comes home😊 Thanks!
I learned so much thank you
Thanks so much!
Thank you for the great video. Very informative!
Does anyone have any advice if your bird doesn't want to be groomed? We just rescued her, ls getting used to being near us, but doesn't want us to touch her. She is going trough a molt and looks a lot like the bird with all the feathers in his neck sticking out. Has someone suggestions?
Can you make a video on what materials and pans you should buy
My green cheek conure has been molting every 3 months or so, and it has me worried. Knowing I can improve his diet and light is great! We live in the PNW, where it's dark and cloudy a lot, which may be effecting this a bit. I'll also try to incorporate a more balanced diet for him. Thanks so much for this knowledge and for all of the videos you produce!
What vitamin to give them when molting and food
Feed what kind of vitamin for growing beautiful feathers
We had our first blood feather last week I have that stiptic powder had it because I do lots of dog nails so if they bleed I use that I stopped the bleeding but he wouldn't let me pluck it dose it definitely have to come out ..thanks for this I knew most I'd it but it's great to have it all in one place
Thank u sooooo much fr tis vedio....it was vryyy helpfull!!!😍👌👌👌
Hi! I’m currently thinking of getting an Indian ringneck. It would be really helpful if you dedicated a whole video to the breed.
Can I know what's the recommended adjustment to their diet during molding? Thanks
this was uploaded on my birthdayyyy!!
Hi Jessi have you ever had any vultures or other carrion feeders at animal wonders?
I’m also curious about this! They’re some of my favourite species.
My chickens molt annually, it's pretty funny watching their feathers grow back
Sometimes they look just ridiculous with their little spiky heads :D
@@animalwondersmontana 1st watching 😊😊👋
Great video! :-D
Wonderful!!!
I learned something new today!
I would love if you did a video on hedgehog quilling! Love all your content btw :)
How do you stop bids from biting my green Chelan conure bits but not that much
Hi, I am planning on getting a Macaw. I have been doing a lot of research and have been prepping a space for him for when I am ready to bring him into my home. I was wondering what brands of seed and pellets you use (or are the best) for their diet? I have taken notes on quite a few fruits and vegetable that are best for macaws but I wanted to know about brands and what is best fitting for their type. Thank you!!
What do you suggest for a flock of 5 conures. Very attached to me, but recently more nippy. All free flying. They have been jumping at family members, and nipping. Whats the best course of action?
Thanks Jessi..great video. My birds molt but not very much. I have smaller parrots (cockatiel and parakeets.
Oh sorry another question! Can you do a video sometime about the beak and feather disease with birds and species affected? When I researched it, it sounds like a HORRIBLE sickness but wasn't sure if it's still common or is it pretty much a thing of the past? I never hear about it anymore so I was curious.
It’s a very dangers disease and when it’s happen all feather almost 99 %feathers will fall and when it happen you have to separate it from other birds .. good luck to all ☺️
Your hair grows fast! 😉 ... moulting birds clog up the shower drain.
I love these Maccaws.. but when in Durban.. walked in to a pet store & this young baby 'grey flew straight to me & clung to my jumper chest.. wings spread. It even surprised the shop owner.. "she's your bird". 🙁 I was heart broken I couldn't get it safely to UK 😢
How long does this molting process take? Also, how old do they have to be when they start to molt. Lastly, when do they usually do it bc I have chickens and one of them is a little over a year old and the rest are almost a year and they’ve never molted before. Great video and I love your channel.
Can you do a video of things to expect and how to properly bring a bird home ?thnx love your channel
Thank you, that was interesting. I have a double yellow headed Amazon
Hows Turd making out with his new enclosure setup?
What is best temperature and humidity at molting time?
In the uk recently it has been really hot do you have any tips to keep a parrot, two dogs and a rabbit cool? Thanks
Question: on one of your older videos you mentioned to not react when a bird bites you, I've heard other people with a lot of experience say to yell something and leave the bird right after so I'm very curious to know what the right thing to do is since there is a lot of conflicting advice I've read about and heard
Thank you in advance if anyone answers!
How do we differenciate molting/grooming from stress and plucking? I have a sun conure and its happy usually because she always is out of her cage .. rn she is 5 months old we think she is plucking. PLEASE RESPOND
Is there any foods that can help soothe during molting?
My princess parrot doesn’t like to be touched. We’re working on it but what should I do when moulting season comes again and he has pin feathers on his head?
I might have missed it, but how long can a molt last? I expect this differs from species to species?
You seem to know so much about animals! Could I please ask for a video on how to make my shy bird let me pet them? I adopted a green cheek conure about a month ago and so far he only trusts me enough so sit and eat on my hand. Whenever I attempt to gently pet him, he either steps up on my finger, fly away or bite me (not very hard though). Any tips will be greatly appreciated!
How long do they molt for
Hi! My bird doesn’t eat any treats I try to feed him for training. He seems unhappy
Can you do a video all about cockatoos?
I have a bird that isn't molting but is growing feathers on the back of his head and neck, what would you say is the best way to help him get rid of the sheath he can't reach?
so how long do they molt cuz it seems like mine takesages to molt
I have a question, so is it better to have the grate in the bird cage? Or no..
how long can a molt session go 4 plz let me know
and what age can a bird's feathers molt
Hello for the next video can you talk about hybrids animals for example hybrid macaws
So how long does the feathers grows because i clip it
So what if your bird doesn't molt, I have two parakeets and I don't remember them ever going through such a phase. Obviously I see some feathers dropping once in awhile but I don't know if they full on molt like other larger parotts.
Commander Strax Oh alright thank you
Can you please explain the proper diet of a macaw and what they need to eat and how many times they need to eat as I am getting a macaw soon
can you raise a barn swallow? barn swallows can drink, take a bath, catch insects while flying
I need help my little baby parrotlet is molting when should i take it off with tweezers ?
I adopted a 17 yr old blue and gold macaw who is an overpreener but has gotten a green light by the vet, can you talk about techniques or ways to correct this type of behavior? I pave had him for a year but I can’t seem to find any avenue to redirect his focus.
How do you help your become less aggressive
Hello Jessie! (Sorry if I misspelled your name) can you do a video on lovebirds like the cockatiels! What where how video I recently aquired a pair and I'm trying to take in as much knowledge as I can about how to properly care for my new feathered friends p.s I love this channel!!!
Im getting a Cockatiel soon, she doesnt have a companion so im scared to deal with blood feathers and nervous that I will hurt the bird trying to take off of the things that cover the feathers. I want you to please reply how to safely do it, Thanks!
how do you tame your birds?
I love her voice
I was looking for the meaning of the word "MOLT" and I got it. Thank u
Is there some object I can use to help my lovebird when she is molting? She asks me for pets but my finger scares her and so she is always asking for pets and then walking away before I touch her, when she sees me moving in.
I've owned birds for a long time and strangely enough my eldest birdie only molted once; then never again but when she milted good lord you'd think I pluck and boiled her. She's fine and fully feathered just I guess her's was bad.
Also I have a question and it's been hard to get an answer, I'be had Birdie my GCC for 10 years and she's never once laid and egg ever and I have blood tests and everything she's clean and healthy and very much female. Same goes for my mom's late bird Wensday the Blue Front Amazon just wondering why they never laid an egg birdie never even showed signs of going into heat, while my cockitel is at it almost everyday over spring, summer.
My baby macaw is now getting feathers on his body but already has on his wings n tail so it kinda looks like pins all over. Thanks. Also he makes a sound every few seconds n it's usually accompanied by involuntary wing flaps kinda. Is this normal? His is still being hand fed with a spoon n soft fruits. Can u say at what point he'll be able to chew. Right now he just swallows. Yes I have alot of questions. Sorry!!!!😊
Hey, I have a question, my cockatiel is one and half year old male. This is the first time I have seen him shedding so many feathers like 30+ only for a day. I saw no feathers shedding the day after. Is this also considered MOLTING? He looks a bit feverish and feet are warmer than usual. But he is pretty active. Coz it's only one day I have seen him shedding feathers. We don't have good vets near by and I'm concerned. 😔
My budgie doesn’t like it when I try to pet him. What should I do when he has pin feathers?
Can you do a video about trimming your birds beak
bravo
How do you remove pin feathers?
lol my mom has the same shirt as you
also nice video!
how does a african grey react to molting?
Could you talk about propper parrot diet please? Thank you :)
Can anyone help please? My macaw is molting. I have a blue and gold macaw and I just noticed that like 2-4 feathers have a bit of a grey color. What could be the cause?
Can you talk about regurgitation? My budgie does it and toys get disgusting and some mess gets to his cheek feathers . I don't think this is good for him. Anything I can do? I clean his toys once a week but still not a great situation.
I watch you so much that I hum the theme
About your first day video birds I wanted to know what about poop Cleaning or you don't have to clean
How would you suggest starting a career with exotic animals early. I am only 13 bit I know sooo much about exotics. The problem is no one will let me volunteer with them. Any help you have world be much appreciated.
Dog lover 12
You have to be Atleast 15 or 16 to have a job ( pretty sure the age is 16 but idk
Most animal facilities require that you're at least 14, some only take volunteers that are 16 or 18. One volunteer position that will often take the youngest volunteers is being a dog or cat socializer at a local humane society or county rescue. This will help you learn how to be a good volunteer and start building your resume so when you get older you'll be a great candidate for another animal facility.
Dog lover 12 look into some follow a zoo keeper camps, usually the minimum age is 12 . If you live anywhere around north Georgia I can reccomend some places ;3
My little budgie peaches for SOME REASON nibbles the tip of his tail feather which creates a little "v" at the end of his tail. Is this normal? Help please
How do we prevent flying?!
