So I think maybe we didn't do a good enough job explaining ahead of time that the female owner of this bird stopped handling the bird because the bird kept biting instead of stepping up. So every time she would ask the bird to step up, it would put its head down and escalate to a bite if she pushed or continued to ask for a step up. We never let it escalate to that in this class, instead we worked hard to teach her how to AVOID making the bird feel the need to bite her through these techniques. Which is why the bird went from refusing to step up to avidly doing it. But previously the bird was BITING instead of stepping up because that's just what happens when you ignore a refusal. Hope that clarifies why the title is the way it is. Literally by changing one thing (how she asks for a step up in the posturing) she got the bird to stop biting her. And people ignoring these subtle cues (head down refusal) is what gets people bit.
Hi @Birdtricks i read on the internet that i can give my cockatiel birds Happy body msm liquid between 1-10 drops in their water daily for Pain and inflammation support, coat health, digestive support, joint health and mibility. I wanted to know if its true? I haven't tried it with them. Because i read that you can give your animals happy body. Is this true? Ill wait for a response.
Can you help me? I just got a rescue parrotlet and he flies over to me to bite me. On the first day we had him he flew over to bite me on my face. I can ignore a parrotlet bite so he doesn’t get the reaction he might be looking for if it’s on my hand or arm, but the face? That’s not easy to just not react to. I’m dedicated to making this little rescue bird a loving pet, but it’s going to be a challenge.
I need help. Heck, at this point I might actually try some classes or something. My fiancé has a yellow nape Amazon. I’ve been working with him for years now and have earned nearly a tattoo sleeve worth of scars. We’ve made quite a bit of progress but I’m well passed the point of knowing what to do. I still get bit semi regularly and he’s sometimes aggressive with me. But I’m wanting to develop as much of a relationship with him as possible. I mean. He’s effectively my step kid lol. 😅 Please help anything is appreciated.
@@peepsicle yes! I just got an Amazon Parrot who lunges at me also! But it loves my 9yr old daughter. I have a few videos of him cuddling with my daughter on my page. But he won’t talk to me, he lunges at me, and he bites hard. It’s so weird how parrots can choose a person at first sight and be so sweet to them but dead inside to everyone else
@@parrotsandmore7446 My Amazon parrot lunges at me too! He also does this sneaky thing where he puts his foot out in preparation for a step up, but once he has one foot on my finger he goes for the bite! I don't get why he doesn't tell me straight away that he has the intention of biting me, instead he seems to either give me mixed signals, or he purpofully tricks me. I can't trust him at all.
What a sweet macaw! 🤗You can see how intelligent she is! Amazing bird!
This macaw has the most beautiful colors 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Camelot Macaw has this exaggerated dinosaur body movements that looks ridicules but in a cute funny way. Such adorable weirdos!
The feet! I love the foot action, so adorable!
Every time you post a video I learn something amazing. Interactions with my feathered friend have improved so much just with learning how to read her body language and set the situation up for success. I can’t thank you enough for these videos!
BirdTricks are absolutely amazing. A huge asset to bird owners.
Interesting, when Jamie was saying about offering a different hand, now my bird usually always steps up with his left foot and i do offer my right hand, not even knowing this was a thing, but he's doesn't like if i offer my left hand, he's very good /great about stepping up, I would have never thought about what Jamie said, wow, I continue to learn so much on every video or my fav. Master classes, thanx so much, birdtricks family, love every second of every vid. Or class, can't tell you guys how much I appreciate your teachings!🙏♥️
She is so CUTE and fluffy and cute and fluffy and... 🥰
Love you guys and everything you do for parrots all over the world! I don't have any birds allthough I have had a cockatiel and budgies, seeing you creating beautiful relationships with birds I realize how poor I was as a birdowner, both regarding diet and training (nonexistant). They were all freeflying at home but still. Love following you and your loving work. Would love to have a bird to freefly with but I'll wait until I'm retired and can provide a good life for it. Until then I'll enjoy watching you and learn. Keep up the good work! Maria from Sweden
You guys are soo professional and funny !!
Tank you! I learn soo much!
Ya'll are so great at this!! 👍😊👍
You guys are great
very intetesting video..
Thank u for sharing the video.. i wanna buy alexandrine coz someone said their flight is so amazing
Permission to use a bit of luring gratefully received!! 🙏
Luring should be a temporary tool but is still a tool that can really accelerate progress if used correctly.
She is absolutely beautiful and sweet…..love this bird….
My husband and I inherited a parrot that constantly bites. It's so hard to interact with him because he is very aggressive. I just subscribed so maybe I'll be able to learn to help this beautiful parrot to know he's safe and loved.
If you are not set on keeping him, you could try to find an experienced bird owner to take care of him. It can be hard without having a bird history but if you are determined and dedicated, you can learn how to train him. It's a big decision either way and I wish you all the best!
this is why i wish my amazon was a baby again, back then I could have way much more control of teaching her stuff.... back then it was like...so this is what i want u to do..d end ...noww! it will you do this..lol, plus having to watch out for the possible bites.
to this day figuring out good excited vs bad excited is just a nightmare
My ringneck would climb up on me and bite my ears 🙂
😂😂😂
Look up for the Birdtricks videos on shoulder rushing the have great advice for that behavior!
And it hurts lol! I'm finally getting through to my baby that won't be tolerated & it's taken 7 mths to get here! But he's so much gentler now and improving every day ! I can't wait to see him in the future 😁❤️
Yes they like to do that. With training and patience it will stop! Give him something else to do and he will forget about your ear. Limit shoulder time if the behavior persists and keep training to build bond, trust and he will learn a different way to communicate
This was interesting, but what did it have to do with biting?
Such a beautiful macaw! Looks like a floofy baby! How old is she? 🦜
She is about a year old ❤
What type of macaw is she wow a green and blue macaw so unique?!
1046a will this work w Quaker parrots
What a beautiful girl.
She looks to be a sweet bird. 🥰
How does that stop biting?
I echo this. I'm missing how this applied to biting. Great video. Titling could have been better. I love what they do and they are good at it.
Ditto. This is a video on how to teach stepping up that mentions biting one time.
Please see pinned comment for explanation 🙂
Biggest issue
Good training
Is this in any size bird
Question- my parrot steps up fine but gets pissed off if I or anyone tries to hold his feet. I would love pointers to get him comfortable with that.
I'm curious Is this a baby macaw?? Such a gorgeous bird!
I'm def getting baby vibes!
Young for sure 🥰
Pretty sure the title is wrong. The entire video is about stepping up, not at all about biting. Cute Macaw though 😍
She pinned that the bird was biting the owner when asked to step up. They just didn’t let it escalate to a bite
The guy knows the pattent
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Camelot Macaw has this exaggerated dinosaur body movements that looks ridicules but in a cute funny way. Such adorable weirdos! Are they like this as adults or just the baby ones!
Why don't they talk to the bird? I didn't really hear them say step up, and they didn't tell her she was a good girl when she did. I talk to my birds all the time.
@@MrBadass718 I've watched many BirdTricks videos and I've heard them say multiple times that a verbal cue is unnecessary, birds respond to body language. If the physical cue isn't clear they won't know what you want even if you're using a verbal cue. They aren't saying "good girl" because birds don't care about that. They aren't dogs, they haven't evolved to care about getting verbal praise from humans. In fact, some birds dislike it when people go "good girl!!!" at them. Birds care about treats and sometimes petting/attention. For some birds being put back on the perch immediately is a reward.
Mine are sometimes biting playfully but still hurts sometimes 😅
Hi I'm a total admirer of your well thought out training methods and naturally a subber.
I know you guys are quite altruistic and like to help where help is needed. I was wonderingif you could check out Mikey Bustos Vlogs channel. He's built a huge aviary and seems to have a huge flock of parrots, some very young. My concern is his target training methods. He's a lovely guy with very best of intentions but I think he needs some advice eg: is it a good idea to target train a bunch of young conures who have only just in the previous few minutes been introduced to their new giant aviary? They were super heightened and becoming aggressive and guy was clicking and treating away. Another example is trying to single out an individual bird among three sat huddled together. There was obvious confusion as the birds didn't know what was expected - who was meant to touch the stick? etc etc.
Like I said - lovely enthusiastic guy. Maybe needs your help? I hate to "snitch" but really I'm just an armchair parrot guy who doesn't even own a bird. You're the real thing, and as far as I can see (and I've seen a LOT) you're the best thing on birds since sliced bread (or walnuts). I've come to understand a fair bit about parrot body language watching your vids, and your videos melt my heart (Morgan day 1 coming out of his travel cage....African Grey afraid of everything).
I know you helped Caroline and Hopey some, maybe you'll feel like at least watching some of Mikey's vids?
ps. For all the stick Caroline gets - Hopey seems to be the happiest macaw I've ever seen - says something I guess
LOve and regards from UK
This will hopefully help us out with our ringneck as he is very nippy when we put our hand in the cage too feed him also when I try to give him a lil stroke he don’t like it. Is there any other advice you could give me plz and thanks for all your vids there a great help
Ringnecks can be difficult. Mine is in his cage right now because he bit me on the nose. No blood, but it hurt. Had a great training session and were just hanging out. I was talking to him and ZAP! He did like a tiny crocodile. Lol
That's why I'm watching this video, but it's not really about how not to get bitten; it's just teaching this gorgeous macaw how to step up.
Do you let your ringneck or of its cage? If so, I'd recommend opening the door and backing off, letting him come out on his own and get where he's comfortable. Then let him watch you clean the cage, move his toys around, change his food and water, and let him go back in when you're ready. If you do this consistently, he'll get used to it and won't be so territorial about his cage.
Stop trying to pet him if he doesn't like it. Every time you do, you're breaking his trust. I know it's hard b/c we think of affection as reassuring & comforting, but your bird might not see it that way.
@@tarajh he’s just very cautious when a hand is raised near him is not constantly trying to pet him as I know he don’t like it but every month I try just once to see if he has warmed to me enough to let me stroke his head but he is still as wary as the day we got him if he don’t let me raise my hand I don’t bother trying to attempt 😊
@@jamssnana4084 yeh he’s out the cage all the time as I’m home all the time but that what you said right there is a really good idea I will for shure try this as I usually take the cage out side to clean it and he don’t see me cleaning it tysm
@@tarajh my galah bites if I don’t give him attention and if I try and walk away slowly he attacks my head or face he’s pretty nervous tho.
He looks so cute and exotic , it's like a small dinosaur 🦕
I watch your videos and try to implement the training with my flock. Can the training work when you're not on the same training page as your significant other? I feel like it is confusing them.
Yes it will only confuse the birds. Stick to one training method and this channel is an excellent resource to use. How about watching the videos together with your partner so you can get on the same page
It seems as though the bird doesn't trust that she is strong enough to support her.
Yes! It’s not about biting, it’s about birdy not feeling well or secure or something like balance or pain where wings are needed for balance.
My bird is terrified of the stick what do i do now
Wow 😮 is it my TV or does this bird 🦜 have an unusually Big BEAK? What’s with the dark coloring too?
Most are too young to remember Jimmy Durante’s Huge Nose. But honestly, that beak kept my attention. What’s the story?
Hi @Birdtricks i read on the internet that i can give my cockatiel birds Happy body msm liquid between 1-10 drops in their water daily for Pain and inflammation support, coat health, digestive support, joint health and mibility.

Check the description box for her contact information. But this is really a question for your avian vet.
@@spiritmatter1553 ok thanks
My Quaker will do touch but he is not into treats at all. He will eat them but if he has to work for it, he’s not interested. He’s not fond of fruit, even apples, no on veggies, no on any seeds or nuts. Harder to train but he likes me and after almost 6 years, will let me scratch his head. But he won’t step up unless scared.
Help! Inherited an Amazon parrot a month ago. We've made enough progress that she does not bite me when I put food or toys in her cage. We have come as far as her letting me pet her head, but only through the bars. When I try to pet her head inside the cage she opens her beak towards my hand when moving over to her head. Still afraid of her biting me. I'm able to touch her foot when she opens it and offers it. Also, I bought a new cage for her. She won't come out of this new cage anymore. I'll leave the door open all day and she stays inside.
Also, treats don't work with her. I offer and she takes them, but drops them immediately.

Please HELP! ❤ I have a Blue Crown Conure that I purchased from a young lady who rescued Conner ( His name😁)
When he came to my home he was somewhat sweet, however the came he came in was extremely gross ie dried bird poop all over it, cobwebs. I waited a few days, but eventually I needed to get him in his new clean cage. While in the old cage he would except food through the bars, but he was more than willing to let me know he would bite me. After 4 days I decided it was time to move him. Of course he didn’t like it and gave me the cold shoulder for almost 3 days.
From that point on I’ve worked as much as he would let me( making sure to listen to him when he’s done working) I tried to move in closer but he get very aggressive and wants to bite me( his beak is EXTREMELY SHARP) Plz give me any advise would be greatly appreciated. I feel like he’s come a million miles since coming to me. I don’t know where to go next. Thank you so much if for nothing else but to journal about my situation.
I hope so much to hear from you!🌺🐝
Warm Regards
This bird needs her wings for balance, and it’s not easy for her. Holding her feet helps support her. You get bitten if you don’t help her enough to overcome her pain, fear of falling. She’s not very steady on her feet. It’s hard for her. Pain, balance issue? It’s really difficult for her to get her treat, so if you don’t help her she will bite to avoid it.
nah, she’s a bit wobbly and uses her wings like that cuz she’s a baby! baby birds have very strange looking body movements lol but it’s all normal and she’s just learning coordination and developing the muscles she needs for balance
I really need help! I rescued a severely neglected blue and gold macaw recently! She has been through a lot with her previous owner! Long story short, since the time she was weaned from her mom, she grew up with a scarlet macaw as her mate. For whatever reason, beyond my knowledge, they separated the 2 and then moved the one I have to another house with strangers. She was left in a room by herself, in a deplorable, disgusting cage with barely any human interaction other than to change her food! She plucked out all her own chest and tail feathers! When I got her, she had poop caked on her so bad it took weeks of soaking her in the bath to get it off. She's missing the whole tip of one of her front toes, and her nails were so overgrown that they were curling into complete circles. I had no choice but to handle her with very thick gloves when I 1st got her in order to get her clean, clip her nails, and get her to the vet immediately. I didn't have the luxury of gaining her trust prior to this bcuz I knew she needed immediate vet attention. She has closridium due to the poor living conditions she was in prior to me getting her! I've had her going on 3 months now, and she is looking so much healthier than when I 1st got her. She allows me to hand fed her no problem! I've watched many videos on how to get her to step up and have tried everything. Anytime I try to get her to step up and try luring her with treats, she instantly loses interest in the treat, screams, shakes, and tries to bite me! She needs her nails clipped again and is molting and can not reach her head feathers to get the sheath off it. She also needs another soak bcuz there is poop stuck to her bare skin around her cloaca! Should I just use gloves to help her or wait and keep trying to get her to step up? Thank you for any advice you can give me. It is greatly appreciated!
So you're saying by directing the bird's attention to the treat and stepping up for it, he will be distracted from biting.
But how do I retame my “betrayed” Amazon?
And get the cockatoo to stop rubbing and regurgitating on me. I don’t even pet her.
If you go to their website, they have a whole course on hormonal behavior.
Basically, do everything you can to discourage "nesty" behavior. No boxes, happy huts, mirrors, etc.. Make sure she's getting at least 12 or 13 hours of dark, quiet sleep time.
If nothing seems to help, your avian vet can use medications to level out her hormones.
Good luck!
I am far more afraid getting bitten by a parrot especially a macaw than a dog.
The problem is the woman can't get by her fear of being bitten or attacked and the bird can sense her emotional fear
My grandpa (I think grandpa Idk maybe great grandpa Ngl I forgot😅) had a parrot for around 50 years, I think it had a owner before him sadly the parrot passed away 2-3 years ago, I never met the bird but my mom did when she was a kid,
And I want a parakeet😊
I cant control my birdddddd he bites everytime I try to let him step on my hand
He let's me pet him everywhere but not step on my hand
Why even does he do that !!!!
She seems scared of the bird..
100%
@@KDrop84 honestly if you are bird owner you will get bit but they like to see if they can try it out to see if you are scared of them. Training is the best methof to help they out without being scared of them because they can sense that.
My Ding dong McCaw decided he didn’t wanna step up . I used luring, and oh I guess I’ll step up. . That McCaw didn’t seem to feel secure on the ladies hand .
These people seem to be assigning their own thoughts and emotions onto the bird. She shoulder rushed because she's mad that he isn't working with her, as opposed to his hand is awkward and unsteady. Nothing about her behavior indicated she was "mad". This is just so odd to me.
As fun as this is to watch I feel like the title is lying, it didn't really teach us how to stop parrot biting outside of a mouthy step up...
Please see pinned comment for explanation 🙂
What's wrong with this bird? It seems like it may be unwell being fluffed up the head bobbing a swaying and the birds feather don't seem sleek and clean look almost oily.
I don't know what others might think about my question and observations.
It could be that it's a young macaw but nothing was said about its age?
Have none of you noticed she is courting
This seems to be about stepping up with the bird and has nothing to do about not teaching the bird how not to bit
There was no information about STOPPING BITING. What the bird did BEFORE the video is irrelevant. It became "CLICK BAIT". Posturing would describe the benefits of this video. The excerpts were EXCELLENT for this lesson.
Wow, shouting much? Dude, Jaime explained the rationale behind the title, settle down. I’m pretty sure they didn’t do it deliberately to “fool” you in particular.
@@paulinemegson8519 She CHOSE the title. Her explanation admits she knew it is misleading. I value their information. BTW, "shouting" is typing everything thing in capital letters. Please do not let this devolve into ad hominem attacks. I do not believe that I am "important " enough for someone to focus on me, alone. I just received my monthly pellets for my Amazon...
Is that the right title? I didn't see a thing about biting by halfway so I stopped watching.
Do you really need the music at the end?
Have you guys watched any of Pebble the cockatoo videos?? That naughty bird??
I live in Louisiana and need y’all to help me with my mean ass Amazon parrot 🦜
