    Just an update on these guys, and for anyone worried about wing clipping please understand that it was necesary at the time while they lived indoors with me and were 100% reliant on me because they would fly into the windows and mirrors in the house and I feared they would break their necks so had to either confine them to the cage which was near impossible to do or clip their flight feathers for their own saftey for a short period of time. If you know anything about birds you also know these flight feathers do grow back and as they were young they grew back quite fast! the video was made in 2015 and shortly after I made it both birds were given complete freedom to come and go from their cage outside. They came and went for a period of time at their leisure. At first hanging around close by and then venturing further away over time until they would leave and only come backin the evening to roost and get a feed. then after about 3 months of that they eventually stopped returning at all and I assume they rejoined their parents flock which live and roost in trees nearby. That was in 2015 and over the years since the videos were taken I still had occasional visits by them and they would happily land on my head or shoulder and take food or have a cuddle and play and act as if they owned the place lol. I then later had to move house to another area in 2018 and sadly have not seen them since moving but assume they are still out there living their lives and enjoying their freedom.

      Ohhhhh BULLSHIT '
      I've got 2
      and yes i know plenty about birds
      and i know they grow back
      BUT THAT'S NOT THE POINT
      i had the same issue when mine were a few weeks old
      I literally taught them to fly , maybe ASSISTED and MOTIVATED are better words
      but i taught them to fly
      from the time of them flapping their wings wildly and not being actually able to control elevation relative to wing speed
      to them having more controlled flight
      re Mirrors
      You either close the door to the room
      or
      You put a towel over the mirror so it doesn't see it as an option to fly through
      as for Windows
      DO YOU NOT HAVE BLINDS ?
      if the answer is NO
      Kinda silly don't you think
      would it kill you to put up some blinds if you don't have them ?
      Cutting their wings is just a bullshit excuse
      also... these birds came from NATURE to begin with
      it's not like they were raised in captivity
      so.. NO MATE,
      that's not an excuse
      if i didn't have to do it , Neither did you

    Thanks so much for sharing. We live in Thornlie WA & a few weeks back our English Staffy found a baby Lorikeet outside (which had obviously fallen from it’s nest) which she stood by, barked & carried on like a pork chop until my husband went out to see what the fuss was about. She was very proud of herself😊….so much for their fearsome reputation😂 She’s very gentle & protective of it. My husband & son have been raising it (I didn’t want to get attached, but alas that hasn’t lasted! Can’t help falling for it🙄😉) Your video & comment are very informative. Much appreciated, Cheers👍🏻

    I recently moved into a new rental house. One day on the back verandah a Lorikeet started hassling me. Following me around, landing on me, coming inside. I decided to start feeding him. His name is Cheeky. His mate then started turning up, friendly enough but not as confident. She is missing a foot. Her name is Peg. Cheeky will come and find me where-ever I am when they want food and they have me well trained. I'm looking forward to them bringing their babies to visit in the coming months.
    The food is white bread mixed with sugar and water. I tried making it healthy with fruit and vegetables but Cheeky gets cranky, you know that cranky noise they make, and he doesn't eat it. I have been able to hide stewed apple in the mix that they will eat.
    Now the back verandah is quite a circus with Noisy Miners, Butcher Birds, Magpies, Kookaburra and Lorikeets.
    /face palm... what have I started ?

      The bread and sugar is not good for them at all. Leave a dry mix like Passwells with plenty of water.

    • @Friendlybirds
      @Friendlybirds  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      it depends on the birds size but basically you watch the crop expand and stop when it is full. then you wait until that crop has gone down before feeding again. you get a feel for it with practice. especially when you have a few at a time. I keep a record of each feeding and weigh each bird before and after each feeding, this helps to know if they are on track or not.

    Why did you clip their wings ?
    I have 2 rainbow Lori's
    NEVER CLIPPED THEIR WINGS
    Nothing wrong with it
    Why the need to clip the wings

    • @Friendlybirds
      @Friendlybirds  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I have addressed this several times in the past but the reason is so that they didn't break their necks smashing into the windows while they were still dependant on me for food and first started to fly as they would hit the windows and also to stop them flying out the door and over the fence where predators would get them and they would find their was back and were still dependant.
      Baby Birds trimmed feathers DO grow back. (and they did)
      it was a temporary necessity.

      @@Friendlybirds
      ok... and i want to be clear on something
      1. I understand it may be frustrating for you to keep addressing the same point
      2. I've own birds since i was like 8 or something, i'm 47
      3. I HAVE READ what you previously stated and still hold to my point
      4. it was not a necessity , I've owned enough birds to know that it wasn't .
      in saying that, i do understand why you did what you did, However it is wrong and does stump their development and confidence at times when they need it
      5. I had the same issues, Young lori's flying into windows, into the TV, Whatever ...
      I never cut their wings, they never broke their neck and they are fine.
      What you do is , you show them the window, you tap on it , you let them touch it with their beak
      in some cases, you can put blue tape or red tape on the window and show them what you are doing and when they fly they won't fly into it , they will vere away from it
      also i taught my lori how to fly , i gave him encouragement and confidence.
      i hot him to stand on the entertainment unit then i would be close and i got him to fly into my palm (more like Hop) then i pulled back about 10cm and got him to do it again until a hop because a jump then until a jump because a flap of the wings
      then 2 flaps then 3 and so on until i was on the other side of the room.
      Now.. in reality , AT FIRST he wasn't flying to my hand, it was more like ... He was flying in my general direction and i was catching him as you would a tennis ball
      but as a result he gained confidence
      now you see... cutting the wings kills that
      I understand what you did and why you did it
      it's still not right mate but , it doesn't matter now does it because they are past tht period and hopefully their wings have grown back now

    • @gacktandhydefan101
      @gacktandhydefan101 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      they are they are not difficult, you need wet food and the dry powder, lots of fruit and veg, like apple, pair, broccoli, chilli, corn etc and they need a lot of entertaining toys but most importantly they do not do well by themselves if they are left alone in the cage by themselves they can get depressed
