+Bill Borden I've worked in an aviary for 8 years now, those birds are defiantly frightened and by the sheer size of them they appear to be starved to preform, their feathers are so badly damaged!
There are good trained parrot acts -- this isn't one of them. The birds are obviously really stressed. Their feathers are disheveled, their reaction times are slow, and they're flapping a lot. On top of that, they're tense and looking around a lot; that flat-feathered, spread-winged posture in the macaws is a sign of stress and fear. If you want to support a trained-parrot act, watch Norman Barrett's videos (Zippo's Circus) -- his budgies are very well-cared for and happy. Don't support this.
Training is good for an animals mental health as it keeps them sharp and gives them something to do however health comes first, if an animal is uncomfortable or in pain they should not perform
I just came from watching Zippos Circus and the budgie show, and THAT was a good show... But THIS!? I dont even know where to begin.. Instead of turning this into an essay.. Im just gonna make some points - the macaws' feathers are all plucked and messy which is a clear sign of distress axiety and stress. - that green macaw looked SO TIRED during the tricks - i almost cried when the macaws were carrying eachother on the rings.... I could almost IMAGINE how painful that could be.. - The guy was barley interacting with the birds.. I mean touching them and talking to them. He carried them with rods, almost looking like he didnt want to touch them - the blue macaw and the cocatoo looked horrific, like they came out of a horror scene. And they were STILL brought out to act!?!?!?!? OK, thanks for listening to an old lady rant about burds
These birds are sure under stress and anxiety. Please rehabilitate them. Most Cockatoos live for almost 80 yrs and need a lot of care and affection throughout but also a lifelong partner for mating else they might become violent/pluck their ownself.
All these innocent parrots deserve quality diet n quality life. I can see that these parrots aren't fed variety of fruits n veggies. They are plucking their own feathers due to boredom n vitamins deficiency. They have been suffering with malnutrition also. Soso sad for these beautiful creatures.
I don't even own birds (yet) and this clip brought tears to my eyes. These poor babies. I hope they are rescued from this horrible circus soon. Please report this video for animal abuse so it can be removed--I don't want people thinking this is what healthy and happy birds looks like.
When I read the comments about the birds I was like "Over reacting much" but then I truly looked at the birds. They looked horrible and tired. And its true that the handler guy doesn't want to touch them or anything. Compare this to zippos and theres a huge difference
I don't know who these people are so i'm not going to jump to conclusions, for all I know they are all ex-rescue parrots with mental disturbances that have been given a new lease on life, or, on the other hand they could all be made to perform and kept in small travel cages with nothing to occupy their minds and this is what has become of them. Unless they were already rescue parrots with uncorrectable behaviours what kind of respectable aviaculturalist would present birds in this condition? The stick isn't an issue for me, parrots like to step onto a solid and sturdy pirch and stick training is number one when properly training parrots. The video seems old but some of these guys could live a human lifetime. Dislike this video all you can people
Ok. I was just watching zippos budgie circus they looked SOOOOOOOO and I mean SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much happier and healthier than these birds... they were even running up when it wasnt there turn... but with THESE birds... there feathers are plucked, they looked tired, scared, and they pri ably feel like there being forced to do these tricks.. that isnt good for these birds.. the bird trainer didnt even look like he was enjoying playing with the birds either. He didnt even realy want to touch them.. he was also being realy rough when he holed them. I mean did you see how fast and tough he was moving? I feel SO bad for those birds... those are NOT healthy birds... Zippos birds (the healthy birdies)- They looked so happy and playfull! They had all there feathers, no plucking, and they were all proofed up, cute, and happy! They were running up when it wasnt there turn, and they were having alot of fun!and they NEVER hesitated to get up on the man's finger. See the difference in them? I feel so bad for those parrots... I wish all bird circuses were like zippos... poor birds...
Noticed the feathers of the the birds specially the blue one are in bad shape.. Poor birds.. They should be treated well. Felt sorry and sad for them...
I also noticed one of the large Mcaws has a curved beak and needs to be trimmed buy a veterinarian periodically can be expensive to have done. I wish the trainer well. Note, beak is currently in good shape at the time this video was taken.
Yes and Theses bird's wings are clipped (the so called owner cut the flight feathers making it impossible for the birds to fly) they are NOT trained they are NOT doing tricks these birds have NO CHOICE and CANNOT STOP or get away they are SCARED and STRESSED and the reason they look the way they do is due to PLUCKING (It is when the bird Pulls his/her oun feathers out (from stress) it is considered SELF HARM) and that is why his only has them stand on sticks and not on his hand is because if they stood on on his hand they would bite out of FEAR.
These beautiful birds are being torched and being used for money these birds can die from sadness i know this because I have a parrot and i cried when i watched this video :(
First 30 seconds was great. I was like cool, you managed to do that with trained parrots. Then...... I saw the first plucked cockatoo. I hate these people. People should totally abandon these shows so these cruel people don’t make money.
Same... Theses bird's wings are clipped (the so called owner cut the flight feathers making it impossible for the birds to fly) they are NOT trained they are NOT doing tricks these birds have NO CHOICE and CANNOT STOP or get away they are SCARED and STRESSED and the reason they look the way they do is due to PLUCKING (It is when the bird Pulls his/her oun feathers out (from stress) it is considered SELF HARM) and that is why his only has them stand on sticks and not on his hand is because if they stood on on his hand they would bite out of FEAR.
Seeing birds be used for purely entertainment within circuses and performing like this without no bond or connection saddens me. The "ringmaster" didn't touch or handle the birds one bit without that giant metal pole, not to mention the speed, the feather condition of these performing birds is atrocious, and I doubt they're rescues due to the training required for a show like this. Although the tricks were not worthy, the birds being in such poor condition takes away from this whole thing.
Raul Menendez I own a parrot. I know of their attention needs. This wasn't the good kind of enrichment, they all look damned miserable, regardless. They don't have a choice in this, they refuse I imagine they get taken out of the act and sold on somewhere. You cannot compare a parrot to a dog.
HerMajestyTheLlama --- Have u ever held a Maccaw before!??!..... If u had..u would understand "why" he uses that pole to transfer them from stand to the stage ... They are HEAVY and their nails PIERCE right througj your skin!!! It hurts!!! It does not mean that they are abused ! Trust me...if the birds are unhappy...they simply WOULDN"t Perform!! For them it's fun and it's a way to keep them entertained ! They don"t care about the aufience!
these BEAUTIFUL birds are stressed!!! theyvare are plucking!! why cant people see this!! this is all for profit and the birds suffer,I hate to think what his training ways consists of!! :(
one of the parrots had missing feathers which means that it is either a baby or it ripped out its feathers from being uncomfortable in the new environment (or something XP)
2:13 look at those poor birds. The blue and gold macaw has plucked all his once beautiful feathers out and is clearly extremely stressed. The red macaw's tail feathers are also in awful condition and the fact that the ringmaster doesn't even handle them without a metal pole or other object makes it clear that these birds are terrified of humans.
I'm fine with the cockatoos plucking as pets because it is normal but this! IT'S INSANE!! THIS IS GONNA BE A PETITION COMMENT IF I GET 100,000 LIKES IN THIS COMMENT THEY ARE GONNA SHUT DOWN FOR SURE!!
All of those birds have plucked their feathers. Either they are not taken care of properly or abused. They all have fear in their eyes. Shame this could have been a good video if the birds haven't been mistreated one way or another !
As someone who's been preforming with parrots for almost two decades, this sickens me. My birds are very laid back. And are introduced to new situations slowly. If they were comfortable and trained properly, he wouldn't need the sticks. These are very stressed birds.
OMG!, I´m terrified seeing these poor relatives of mine treated like that. One of the blue gold macaws has a lot of feathers missing, a sign of stress.
Poor birds😭 used or money never a nice life with a big cage, toys, and attention these parrots are obviously abused they are sad the look in the trainers eyes😢 he only cares about the money people need to remember animals have emotions, feelings, and feel neglect 😭 have some sympathy. Don't support this type of thing give this video a thumbs down and never pay to go u are paying them to abuse the animals. Don't u think they deserve a normal pet life happy and healthy? I'm sure after the show they are abused, crammed in a tiny cage with nothing for them to keep entertained. See how some are missing feathers? They pick their own feathers when depressed and not happy and when it's extreme do see how unhappy the parrots are they sent even getting like a seed for doing a trick!! Do u not see the abuse in this it's horrid 😭
I just commented the exact same thing ! They all have plucked their feathers and you can see in the birds eyes and reactions they have fear ! If these birds were properly cared for and trained properly then why has he clipped their wings too ! Pathetic when people like this abuse their animals. These birds don't show trust in him.
These parrots all look so sad.. serious neglect and abuse going on. Their feathers are in appalling condition. Feathers on birds are just like skin on humans; they're a litmus for health!
Yes and to make things worse Theses bird's wings are clipped (the so called owner cut the flight feathers making it impossible for the birds to fly) they are NOT trained they are NOT doing tricks these birds have NO CHOICE and CANNOT STOP or get away they are SCARED and STRESSED and the reason they look the way they do is due to PLUCKING (It is when the bird Pulls his/her oun feathers out (from stress) it is considered SELF HARM) and that is why his only has them stand on sticks and not on his hand is because if they stood on on his hand they would bite out of FEAR.
Some of these are on a watch list for extinction. They don't have the metal ring on their feet that indicates that they are legal. Plus they're plucking their feathers from stress. It hurts seeing birds from your country in such conditions just so a handful of people can make coins.
After monkeys , parrots also trained to do acrobats. But not only entertain humans. But entertain your fellow birds n animals also by performing at forests stadiums n sadari park grounds.
some birds will be plucked no matter what! it's not that they are abused! Do your research and you will see. Those birds would NOT perform if they weren't happy birds!
Haley Mendez your absolutely wrong, think about the lions and the lion tamers, they whip the big cats if they don't preform. And animals are also starved and bribed with food to preform. Bird pluck when under LOTS of stress or when kept in tiny cages (stress) do your research please.
Oh, I have. It is NEAR IMPOSSIBLE for most birds to recover from plucking. We aren't talking about other circus animals, we are talking about parrots. Birds mentally do not behave like other animals. They are several times smarter than the average animal!
Yes and even worse to know theses bird's wings are clipped (the so called owner cut the flight feathers making it impossible for the birds to fly) they are NOT trained they are NOT doing tricks these birds have NO CHOICE and CANNOT STOP or get away they are SCARED and STRESSED and the reason they look the way they do is due to PLUCKING (It is when the bird Pulls his/her oun feathers out (from stress) it is considered SELF HARM) and that is why his only has them stand on sticks and not on his hand is because if they stood on on his hand they would bite out of FEAR.
Can't someone do anything about these poor birds? Like, is there a way to have them taken away for animal cruelty? If even that, maybe just for the fact that they obviously have the inability to treat these animals properly

very ignorant. these birds wpuld never perform if they were even the least been neglected. it takes a lot of time, love, and patience to get them to do this. Alot of those birds were rescued and pluvkers. once a bird is a plucker, its almost impossible to get them to stop.
ha, I have NEVER abused any animal in my life. it makes me a troll because. I have opposite views as you do? So be it. You assume but have no hard proof. I have worked with large birds for over 15 years and have seen their behaviors and they do not work for food. Thew work for affection, yes, but not food or fear. Thats absolutely ignorant to assume they are like a normal circus animal. These birds would NOT perform out of fear or hunger, they would either refuse to be around any human, bite, or attempt to fly away. Those birds did not display any type of those behaviors. Plucking is in just some birds, they were likely neglected before, and we're adopted. Plucking is near impossible to work out of a bird. It can happen, but out of experience and research proves that it is highly unlikely to get a bird to stop plucking even with the highest of care. :)
Faceless profiles are always troublemakers that insist with opposing opinions, oftentime rude and crass. I think faceless profiles are run by pussies, cowards scared to show themself. Why don't you go find something you like, and comment positively instead of hiding yourself. These birds are being starved and they have to do tricks to get any food at all. I could care less what you think. On that note...be well and enjoy your day. Let people be...if you don't like what they say, too f'n bad. Suck it up like an adult. I wouldn't even doubt if your the Siegfried doing this show. Why would you want anyone to know you're starving them.
Youre the one highly offended by an opposing view lol if you want, I could upload my pic. Didnt ever feel a need for anyone to see my face, had no idea that validates what I say! Who knew!? Youre the one being extremely hateful and can't converse like an adult....
For all of you who want to do something about this, leave a comment, and a like. I know it seems like the opposite to do, but if it has enough likes, many more people could see the misery and suffering these poor, abused macaws are going through. They've plucked their soiled feathers, and they look so tired and painful. PLEASE, leave a comment and/or like to get this video noticed so something can be done!
I have a parrot myself and i don`t think these are having fun in their work when it is going so fast and it is showing in their fether as some said already,but i hope to be wrong becaus this is intelligent birds that need love too
I CAN'T disagree with these comments about these BEAUTIFUL birds. NO TREAT when each act is performed. & YES! some of their feathers look ( if you look closely) do look in a bit of a shabby state. This is caused by the bird being STRESSED out. I do hope the R.S.P.B was notified about the condition of these BEAUTIFUL birds. If ANY animal wants to do tricks it should do it on three. things. 1, because it loves doing it 2, it gets treated well.( small treats during the performance) & 3rd they should be well cared for when not performing ( resting). But, as far as I am aware of these circus's are very few & far between now. ( maybe 1or 2 or so left that might still use animals to entertain the public. & I have been backstage at a few of them were animals have been used in the acts. & the conditions was not as good as they could have been. I understand that it can be aquward for everyone as well as for any animals kept. But, it is no joke when you see what I have seen. Was not asked but, TOLD!!! NOT to do any filming. & was in the end escorted out. & yes they tried to get my camera or at least my data card. & in told them if they tried that it would be assault! I ended up leaving anyway. But, I can't remember what happened to the film footage. 😞. (Proberbly stolen. 😞😞😞😞 along with other gear I had at the time).
I agree. It is usually because parrots perform on their own time. In order to get them reliable for a crowd, their diet is aggressively managed. They are working for their food right now and are kept at a technically healthy but low weight. Like a falconer does to hunt his birds, only more aggressive. Many who train birds (myself included) will withhold some of the diet, meaning the parrot gets breakfast but it isn't all-you-can-eat. Then at dinner time, they are hungry and ready to work for their food. Since parrots are pretty much still wild animals, they absolutely THRIVE on foraging and learning for a meal. It's why they were built with problem solving minds... And I know at least with my bird that she will not eat her food much if it is in a bowl, but will work like crazy for it, pestering me all the time to train her more and more than her hour every night :) So is food management abuse? No. But if you combine management that is show aggressive with unhealthy treats like peanuts, I imagine your birds start to look like this. Happy? Probably happier than a caged up parrot. Healthy? Not so much.
Exactly. I love with nearly 20 parrots and the poor birds in this show doesn't look like they are in good conditions at all, they looked like they plucked their feather put of stress, unless the birds are rescues then the performer are mistreating his birds. also the show paced way too fast to be entertaining, Norman Barrett's show with his lovely budgies are so much better, his budgies all looked like they enjoy doing the tricks and you can see the bonds between Mr Barrett and his birds.
interesting points ,if anyone else trying to find out parrot training cd try Hopandar Amazing Parrot Helper (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my friend got cool results with it.
Hope you noticed that this man never touched, loved, pet or gave any affection to these birds. He was no trainer ,just a mean owner of pet that made him money. The birds looked in bad shape, feathers missing,stressed and lacking in affections. Please report this act to ASPCA or an organization to help them.
I have a blue and gold macaw and my experience with parrots are they want to please their mate (being us humans) but when they do tricks like this the need to be rewarded immediately after. I noticed some of these birds are pluckers and I also noticed that some of their feathers are rough. Now with the pluckers it is common for a parrot to pluck when having anxiety. This is especially common when you own more than one parrot. What happens is that parrot see their person handling another parrot causing them to feel left out and unwanted leading to behavior issues. The parrot with the beat up feathers look like they may not be placed in the proper caging. My macaw has a 6' tall by 5' wide by 4' beep cage although my cage is probably abnormally large I feel like parrot to should not be caged and should be free. My bird is only in his cage at night for bed time, but he is out all day outside and inside. He gets baths treats movies music toys conversations etc this man clearly does not do that with any of these parrot they are merely there to make him money. This makes me sick. Engage not Cage!!!!!
Yes and... Theses bird's wings are clipped (the so called owner cut the flight feathers making it impossible for the birds to fly) they are NOT trained they are NOT doing tricks these birds have NO CHOICE and CANNOT STOP or get away they are SCARED and STRESSED and the reason they look the way they do is due to PLUCKING (It is when the bird Pulls his/her oun feathers out (from stress) it is considered SELF HARM) and that is why his only has them stand on sticks and not on his hand is because if they stood on on his hand they would bite out of FEAR.
It saddens me so much to see the neglect those birds have been shown but it equally amazes me that some of them even after everything love the applause, especially the military macaw, stands there so proud
wtf!! look at the condition these parrots are kept at? i saw a budgie show earlier. i can see the trainer loves his budgies.. why your parrots looks at though you torture them?
aww.....the poor babies.......they look like they're in awful conditions. The macaws are missing fetters and have overgrown beaks and the cockatoo looks horrible. They also all seem exhausted and they're panting slightly when doing they're tricks.
Those poor birds... Obviously it seems he's trained them with the stick which could mean he's hit them with it, then again not sure. But they're also picking out their own feathers which means they're stressed out, sickly and possibly being abused to do this... Poor beebs...
I would adopt all of these 'Circus Birds'! They are being handled improperly, the poor birds are probably worn out, and the idiot of a person 'handling' the birds is not having any interaction with the birds, therefore, there is NO bond between them, these birds need a good home, not circus crap! But, it is good to carefully, and slowly train your parrot to do things like flying, or any tricks that do not harm the birds, holding a bird on a freaking stick is not a trick, he is going way too fast with them, they look scared to death!!!!
Completely agree, I would happily go and rescue these birds, it's clear they are cared for.... sorry, they're not cared for at all, it's all just for money, I'm sure. Isn't animal cruelity a crime? I hope someone decided to speak up to someone about the situation and make it better for the birds, they deserve a better life.
Ok, Zippos circus is very good because the birds keep running out to do the tricks again, but here, the birds look horrific, they are plucked and stressed, this needs to stop! Plus the man looks dead inside, and he won’t even touch the birds he uses that poll thing.
He might of rescued them and some of them are still growing in their feathers still or are a newer parrot that he saved and most of them look awesome like their feathers are all grown in so I just think he rescued them or they are losing feathers from the other birds pulling each other's feathers out because not all birds get along so that's what I think lol
Poor parrots! They are so frightened. The trainer use sticks as he is afraid of revenge.
They're not frightened. He loves the birds and they love him.
+Bill Borden they don't appear to be in good shape at all.
+Bill Borden I've worked in an aviary for 8 years now, those birds are defiantly frightened and by the sheer size of them they appear to be starved to preform, their feathers are so badly damaged!
yeah poor parrots well I have 3 parrots and 2 birds I couldn't even watch it
Your right all that training has depressed those birds that they have plucked themselves
There are good trained parrot acts -- this isn't one of them. The birds are obviously really stressed. Their feathers are disheveled, their reaction times are slow, and they're flapping a lot. On top of that, they're tense and looking around a lot; that flat-feathered, spread-winged posture in the macaws is a sign of stress and fear.
If you want to support a trained-parrot act, watch Norman Barrett's videos (Zippo's Circus) -- his budgies are very well-cared for and happy. Don't support this.
I agree, i have watched norman barret and he is incredible, these poor birds make me cry😢😡🐦
ara macao the

Who is supporting them. Nobody is supporting them.
Sadly this is the reality of a lot of circus animals.
Also, this video is proof we need to bring the dislike button back.
this is unbeliveable the way they treat the birds
Training is good for an animals mental health as it keeps them sharp and gives them something to do however health comes first, if an animal is uncomfortable or in pain they should not perform
ABSOLUTELY SICK. IM A PARROT OWNER AND IT TURNS MY STOMACH TO SEE THEM BEING MADE TO LOOK RIDICULOUS.

I just came from watching Zippos Circus and the budgie show, and THAT was a good show... But THIS!?
I dont even know where to begin.. Instead of turning this into an essay.. Im just gonna make some points
- the macaws' feathers are all plucked and messy which is a clear sign of distress axiety and stress.
- that green macaw looked SO TIRED during the tricks
- i almost cried when the macaws were carrying eachother on the rings.... I could almost IMAGINE how painful that could be..
- The guy was barley interacting with the birds.. I mean touching them and talking to them. He carried them with rods, almost looking like he didnt want to touch them
- the blue macaw and the cocatoo looked horrific, like they came out of a horror scene. And they were STILL brought out to act!?!?!?!?
OK, thanks for listening to an old lady rant about burds
the moluccan cockatoo had plucked legs
I can't imagine how stressed they must be, with the audience and the blaring music...
I was thinking the same thing 🙁
I agree. it's obvious these poor birds are being abused. there should be a way to get these videos taken off of youtube.
KittyCatChaos ` thinking the same and I came from zippo
Calling the attention of circus tv, please have a kind heart for the poor birds, they are so stressed out and all of them seems not happy..
this is incredibly depressing. as a 1 year daddy to a cockatiel, i hate to see parrots so stressed. at least they have eachother. poor babies.
Omg he doesn't even take care of them... Their wings r plucked n its a sign of anxiety
These birds are sure under stress and anxiety. Please rehabilitate them. Most Cockatoos live for almost 80 yrs and need a lot of care and affection throughout but also a lifelong partner for mating else they might become violent/pluck their ownself.

All these innocent parrots deserve quality diet n quality life.
I can see that these parrots aren't fed variety of fruits n veggies.
They are plucking their own feathers due to boredom n vitamins deficiency.
They have been suffering with malnutrition also.
Soso sad for these beautiful creatures.
I don't even own birds (yet) and this clip brought tears to my eyes. These poor babies. I hope they are rescued from this horrible circus soon. Please report this video for animal abuse so it can be removed--I don't want people thinking this is what healthy and happy birds looks like.

The red macaw's tail feathers are also in awful condition and the fact that the ringmaster doesn't even handle them without a metal pole or other object makes it clear that these birds are terrified of humans.
Yes and at 1:23 you can see there wings are clipped so they can't get away its just horrible!
they look like their being neglected and i hate how this guy has not once touched the parrots and he is going way to fast handeling them
I'm fine with the cockatoos plucking as pets because it is normal but this! IT'S INSANE!! THIS IS GONNA BE A PETITION COMMENT IF I GET 100,000 LIKES IN THIS COMMENT THEY ARE GONNA SHUT DOWN FOR SURE!!
they're not going to look at a comment and to "well, that comment got a lot of likes...better quit my job!"
Sarah Sherwood I will show it to them.
Sarah Sherwood lol old me was so stupid

All of those birds have plucked their feathers. Either they are not taken care of properly or abused. They all have fear in their eyes. Shame this could have been a good video if the birds haven't been mistreated one way or another !
I agree, one of them looked like it was been whacked or beaten
As someone who's been preforming with parrots for almost two decades, this sickens me. My birds are very laid back. And are introduced to new situations slowly. If they were comfortable and trained properly, he wouldn't need the sticks. These are very stressed birds.
parrotlady84 I agree
agree
I agree
If they weren't happy they would not even do it 😮 birds are smart and talented
Some of these parrots look stressed out with 1 plucking its feathers away. Our entertainment is their torment.
Half of the cockatoo sings are plucked he is probably in a lot of stress
OMG!, I´m terrified seeing these poor relatives of mine treated like that. One of the blue gold macaws has a lot of feathers missing, a sign of stress.
that cockatoo is a mess ;-;
Peta is right about ALL circuses. They're just bad for ALL animals!! Poor poor birds. This breaks my heart!
peta is shitty for many reasons, but i agree
Not all, just look at that budgie guy.
His name was Rocco Zippos circus actually treats their budgies right, but this is terrible!
Poor birds😭 used or money never a nice life with a big cage, toys, and attention these parrots are obviously abused they are sad the look in the trainers eyes😢 he only cares about the money people need to remember animals have emotions, feelings, and feel neglect 😭 have some sympathy. Don't support this type of thing give this video a thumbs down and never pay to go u are paying them to abuse the animals. Don't u think they deserve a normal pet life happy and healthy? I'm sure after the show they are abused, crammed in a tiny cage with nothing
for them to keep entertained. See how some are missing feathers? They pick their own feathers when depressed and not happy and when it's extreme do see how unhappy the parrots are they sent even getting like a seed for doing a trick!! Do u not see the abuse in this it's horrid 😭
Your right this birds need to be happy and this birds can die from sadness :(
I just commented the exact same thing ! They all have plucked their feathers and you can see in the birds eyes and reactions they have fear ! If these birds were properly cared for and trained properly then why has he clipped their wings too ! Pathetic when people like this abuse their animals. These birds don't show trust in him.
I totally agree
That's so true
Aha lB type than.s

These parrots all look so sad.. serious neglect and abuse going on. Their feathers are in appalling condition. Feathers on birds are just like skin on humans; they're a litmus for health!
I can see the plucking on the birds😢 so sad😭 u can obviously tell how depressed and stressed these birds are😣
Yes and to make things worse Theses bird's wings are clipped (the so called owner cut the flight feathers making it impossible for the birds to fly) they are NOT trained they are NOT doing tricks these birds have NO CHOICE and CANNOT STOP or get away they are SCARED and STRESSED and the reason they look the way they do is due to PLUCKING (It is when the bird Pulls his/her oun feathers out (from stress) it is considered SELF HARM) and that is why his only has them stand on sticks and not on his hand is because if they stood on on his hand they would bite out of FEAR.
come on guys give this man a chance he just doing his job
Some of these are on a watch list for extinction. They don't have the metal ring on their feet that indicates that they are legal. Plus they're plucking their feathers from stress.
It hurts seeing birds from your country in such conditions just so a handful of people can make coins.
Sad to see these birds not in loving homes.
when birds are stressed out they pluck there feathers 🐦
They deserve a better trainer
Mandy K
After monkeys , parrots also trained to do acrobats.
But not only entertain humans.
But entertain your fellow birds n animals also by performing at forests stadiums n sadari park grounds.
wow i cant even watched! i feel bad for the birds!
I agree and the white parakeet looks stressed as the feathers are plucked. I wish all of this could be banned,
some birds will be plucked no matter what! it's not that they are abused! Do your research and you will see. Those birds would NOT perform if they weren't happy birds!
Haley Mendez your absolutely wrong, think about the lions and the lion tamers, they whip the big cats if they don't preform. And animals are also starved and bribed with food to preform. Bird pluck when under LOTS of stress or when kept in tiny cages (stress) do your research please.
Oh, I have. It is NEAR IMPOSSIBLE for most birds to recover from plucking. We aren't talking about other circus animals, we are talking about parrots. Birds mentally do not behave like other animals. They are several times smarter than the average animal!
Haley Mendez exactly when i went to the circus i saw them in tiny tiny cages, they were plucking and obviously distressed.
The parrots don't seem too happy
Oh my gosh..that poor blue and gold macaw. I can't even watch this.
I want these birds to take care of them and let em free in their habitat when their healthy
Yes and even worse to know theses bird's wings are clipped (the so called owner cut the flight feathers making it impossible for the birds to fly) they are NOT trained they are NOT doing tricks these birds have NO CHOICE and CANNOT STOP or get away they are SCARED and STRESSED and the reason they look the way they do is due to PLUCKING (It is when the bird Pulls his/her oun feathers out (from stress) it is considered SELF HARM) and that is why his only has them stand on sticks and not on his hand is because if they stood on on his hand they would bite out of FEAR.
The birds look so tired and they've been plucking there feathers :c
Can't someone do anything about these poor birds? Like, is there a way to have them taken away for animal cruelty? If even that, maybe just for the fact that they obviously have the inability to treat these animals properly
Look at those tattered feathers! these birds are not happy.

The cockatoo were so unhappy
I hope this man gets arrested. These birds are pecking at themselves for a reason.
very ignorant. these birds wpuld never perform if they were even the least been neglected. it takes a lot of time, love, and patience to get them to do this. Alot of those birds were rescued and pluvkers. once a bird is a plucker, its almost impossible to get them to stop.
ha, I have NEVER abused any animal in my life. it makes me a troll because. I have opposite views as you do? So be it. You assume but have no hard proof. I have worked with large birds for over 15 years and have seen their behaviors and they do not work for food. Thew work for affection, yes, but not food or fear. Thats absolutely ignorant to assume they are like a normal circus animal. These birds would NOT perform out of fear or hunger, they would either refuse to be around any human, bite, or attempt to fly away. Those birds did not display any type of those behaviors. Plucking is in just some birds, they were likely neglected before, and we're adopted. Plucking is near impossible to work out of a bird. It can happen, but out of experience and research proves that it is highly unlikely to get a bird to stop plucking even with the highest of care. :)
Faceless profiles are always troublemakers that insist with opposing opinions, oftentime rude and crass. I think faceless profiles are run by pussies, cowards scared to show themself. Why don't you go find something you like, and comment positively instead of hiding yourself. These birds are being starved and they have to do tricks to get any food at all. I could care less what you think.
On that note...be well and enjoy your day. Let people be...if you don't like what they say, too f'n bad. Suck it up like an adult.
I wouldn't even doubt if your the Siegfried doing this show. Why would you want anyone to know you're starving them.
Youre the one highly offended by an opposing view lol if you want, I could upload my pic. Didnt ever feel a need for anyone to see my face, had no idea that validates what I say! Who knew!? Youre the one being extremely hateful and can't converse like an adult....
Rainbow Lightning Woman I agree!! they are stressed
I hate this, this is cruel and there people should be sued. Poor birds. Look how bad condition they are in.

They do have fear in their eyes and their feathered are plucked.We have a canary and I know what they do and how they act. And all birds do the same.
No, they don't. Read my reply to the first person. And canaries aren't parrots. Two different species of avian.
For all of you who want to do something about this, leave a comment, and a like. I know it seems like the opposite to do, but if it has enough likes, many more people could see the misery and suffering these poor, abused macaws are going through. They've plucked their soiled feathers, and they look so tired and painful. PLEASE, leave a comment and/or like to get this video noticed so something can be done!
I have a parrot myself and i don`t think these are having fun in their work when it is going so fast and it is showing in their fether as some said already,but i hope to be wrong becaus this is intelligent birds that need love too
Yeah, the birds aren't in great shape, and the people don't seem to be enjoying their time either!
I CAN'T disagree with these comments about these BEAUTIFUL birds. NO TREAT when each act is performed. & YES! some of their feathers look ( if you look closely) do look in a bit of a shabby state. This is caused by the bird being STRESSED out. I do hope the R.S.P.B was notified about the condition of these BEAUTIFUL birds. If ANY animal wants to do tricks it should do it on three. things. 1, because it loves doing it 2, it gets treated well.( small treats during the performance) & 3rd they should be well cared for when not performing ( resting). But, as far as I am aware of these circus's are very few & far between now. ( maybe 1or 2 or so left that might still use animals to entertain the public. & I have been backstage at a few of them were animals have been used in the acts. & the conditions was not as good as they could have been. I understand that it can be aquward for everyone as well as for any animals kept. But, it is no joke when you see what I have seen. Was not asked but, TOLD!!! NOT to do any filming. & was in the end escorted out. & yes they tried to get my camera or at least my data card. & in told them if they tried that it would be assault! I ended up leaving anyway. But, I can't remember what happened to the film footage. 😞. (Proberbly stolen. 😞😞😞😞 along with other gear I had at the time).
I love parrots and parrot shows but I can't help but notice that some of these bird's feathers are in poor condition.
I agree. It is usually because parrots perform on their own time. In order to get them reliable for a crowd, their diet is aggressively managed. They are working for their food right now and are kept at a technically healthy but low weight. Like a falconer does to hunt his birds, only more aggressive.
Many who train birds (myself included) will withhold some of the diet, meaning the parrot gets breakfast but it isn't all-you-can-eat. Then at dinner time, they are hungry and ready to work for their food. Since parrots are pretty much still wild animals, they absolutely THRIVE on foraging and learning for a meal. It's why they were built with problem solving minds... And I know at least with my bird that she will not eat her food much if it is in a bowl, but will work like crazy for it, pestering me all the time to train her more and more than her hour every night :)
So is food management abuse? No. But if you combine management that is show aggressive with unhealthy treats like peanuts, I imagine your birds start to look like this. Happy? Probably happier than a caged up parrot. Healthy? Not so much.
I Totally Agree They Are Stressed To Much People!
Exactly. I love with nearly 20 parrots and the poor birds in this show doesn't look like they are in good conditions at all, they looked like they plucked their feather put of stress, unless the birds are rescues then the performer are mistreating his birds. also the show paced way too fast to be entertaining, Norman Barrett's show with his lovely budgies are so much better, his budgies all looked like they enjoy doing the tricks and you can see the bonds between Mr Barrett and his birds.

interesting points ,if anyone else trying to find out parrot training cd try Hopandar Amazing Parrot Helper (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my friend got cool results with it.
Hope you noticed that this man never touched, loved, pet or gave any affection to these birds. He was no trainer ,just a mean owner of pet that made him money. The birds looked in bad shape, feathers missing,stressed and lacking in affections. Please report this act to ASPCA or an organization to help them.
fuck off

I have a blue and gold macaw and my experience with parrots are they want to please their mate (being us humans) but when they do tricks like this the need to be rewarded immediately after. I noticed some of these birds are pluckers and I also noticed that some of their feathers are rough. Now with the pluckers it is common for a parrot to pluck when having anxiety. This is especially common when you own more than one parrot. What happens is that parrot see their person handling another parrot causing them to feel left out and unwanted leading to behavior issues. The parrot with the beat up feathers look like they may not be placed in the proper caging. My macaw has a 6' tall by 5' wide by 4' beep cage although my cage is probably abnormally large I feel like parrot to should not be caged and should be free. My bird is only in his cage at night for bed time, but he is out all day outside and inside. He gets baths treats movies music toys conversations etc this man clearly does not do that with any of these parrot they are merely there to make him money. This makes me sick. Engage not Cage!!!!!

It saddens me so much to see the neglect those birds have been shown but it equally amazes me that some of them even after everything love the applause, especially the military macaw, stands there so proud
It makes me sad to see birds from my country like this. I also noticed that none of them have those registration rings on their feet

wtf!! look at the condition these parrots are kept at? i saw a budgie show earlier. i can see the trainer loves his budgies.. why your parrots looks at though you torture them?
aww.....the poor babies.......they look like they're in awful conditions. The macaws are missing fetters and have overgrown beaks and the cockatoo looks horrible. They also all seem exhausted and they're panting slightly when doing they're tricks.

I'm really feel sad for all of that birds... I feel that they are not happy... how please!!! 😢😢😢

Those poor birds... Obviously it seems he's trained them with the stick which could mean he's hit them with it, then again not sure. But they're also picking out their own feathers which means they're stressed out, sickly and possibly being abused to do this... Poor beebs...
I would adopt all of these 'Circus Birds'! They are being handled improperly, the poor birds are probably worn out, and the idiot of a person 'handling' the birds is not having any interaction with the birds, therefore, there is NO bond between them, these birds need a good home, not circus crap! But, it is good to carefully, and slowly train your parrot to do things like flying, or any tricks that do not harm the birds, holding a bird on a freaking stick is not a trick, he is going way too fast with them, they look scared to death!!!!
Completely agree, I would happily go and rescue these birds, it's clear they are cared for.... sorry, they're not cared for at all, it's all just for money, I'm sure. Isn't animal cruelity a crime? I hope someone decided to speak up to someone about the situation and make it better for the birds, they deserve a better life.
I know , this is animal abuse

Ok, Zippos circus is very good because the birds keep running out to do the tricks again, but here, the birds look horrific, they are plucked and stressed, this needs to stop! Plus the man looks dead inside, and he won’t even touch the birds he uses that poll thing.
Poor birds i hope they find a better home
The way he is handling this poor birds is like to give him a punch.
Poor birds...they all looked stressed.

Yeah.

They think the birds are for circus.
My heart is broken when i watch this vedio never ever make suffer poor innocent animals this man not feeling how is the pain he make money only
How can they even see that one blue and gold and not notice anything at all wrong?
If you stop at 2:23 the blue macaw looks very neglected
He might of rescued them and some of them are still growing in their feathers still or are a newer parrot that he saved and most of them look awesome like their feathers are all grown in so I just think he rescued them or they are losing feathers from the other birds pulling each other's feathers out because not all birds get along so that's what I think lol
They're obviously stressed.
Hartstone Gaming I͞ d͞i͞s͞a͞g͞r͞e͞e͞....
This is the best show i have ever aenn
Probably the only reason he’s not holding them is because he has no soul
I notice their feathers, they look stressed, it is ok to have a bird, but I treat them as a human too....
and I agree it dose stress the birds also the birds feathers are prior to them because they are less likely to get some common diseases
