Hi I recently bought a alexandrine but I don’t know is it old or young the guy sold me the parrot told its 16 weeks old can I get any help from you thanks
There are several components to house training a parrot. One place I discovered that successfully combines these is the Parrot Ploy Plan (google it if you're interested) definately the most incredible resource that I have ever heard of.Check out the great info .
interesting points ,if anyone else wants to uncover how do you train a parrot try Parrot ploy plan (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some incredible things about it and my buddy got excellent results with it.
Jessy, the fact that you not only realize when you've made even a tiny mistake but you always say so. Then you take all the pressure off and finish with a huge reward. Lovely to see you with your critters!
Totally! You can see him looking up at Jessi like "Excuse me... I thought I had trained you to give me a treat every time I turn. I guess we're going to have to keep working on this behavior."
Haha! Hes so smart and does so much begging! It's so hard not to reward him for offering a behavior without me asking first (which just leads to impatience and frustration).
Jesse I’ve been wanting to say that watching your videos these last few years motivated me to give my animals in a lab at my university the best care I can when I started working with them this semester. It made me eager to learn about their personalities and bodies :)
Absolutely love it, Jessi. I'd say my only complaint would be how he's biting the stick rather then just touching it because it could accidentally get you aggression on cue but it doesn't look like it's a problem for you but it is something for viewers that want to try touch training to be aware of. Be very aware of how your bird is touching the stick, you totally can get over-stimulation and aggression and several emotions on cue so be very aware of how your bird is feeling when they touch the stick and try your best to not let them bite the stick. It helps to hold it out of the bird's reach and then bring it in just within their reach. I'm pretty sure Birdtricks UA-cam Channel had a bird touching it with their tongue, too funny! Loved meeting Zapper, I haven't seen him yet! He's such a great training student, I'm a little jealous!
Your first video on my search for Alexandrinr parakeet and I fell on your magnificent zapper. I was with my daughter and 2 grand sons this morning at a pet shop and saw an alexandrine which I fell in love with. I had a smile when I saw you train him with a clicker because that is what I used with my dog!
Who would've thought the tail would just molt off during a video XD pretty cool to see molting happen live! Usually a parrot owner just takes about it, I didn't know it happens so suddenly like that.
It's basically just how some parrots express their excitement, and get some of that energy out. Like a dog that chases their tail when they get excited. ^_^
Kemosabe in bird form!! :) I could listen to those little chirps all day. :D I love these videos and if I ever have parakeets again I would try training. :) - Heidi
Just got a 8 months old today , I'm letting him settle on his new environment and human. But I'll be visiting your tutorials a lot. I've had parrots all kinds but it's always good to know the specifics for each species. Thanks for the tutorial
omg when he accepts the almond at the end. I love this video, it's great to see content where it seems people truly care about the animals well being, and engagement. Great content, made my day
You are sooooo amazing ♥️ I have an Alexandrine Parakeet & I've been sick worried about how much he was molting .. I found your channel last night & I've been binge watching your videos ever since!!! & I have to say, you're my saviour 🤗 Thanks a lot 🙏🏾
I have an Alexandrine Parakeet, he is very smart and can speak Hindi (Official Indian Language) and if I put him on my finger than , he will say, "I have done, I want seeds" (in Hindi) and if you want to make him to sit on your shoulder, than you have to give him a thin slice of guava. I am not sure if it is every Alexandrines' favorite, But I do know that much that Pierre (my parakeet) loves Chili & guava seeds, thin slices of apple and guava and sometimes mango and banana.
I could watch her train ALL SAY! What I wouldn't have gemucen for this kind of animal behavior retaining availability when I was college age 30 years ago. I could have made my life's passion my work as well. She is dauntless in her cheerful efforts, creativity and true connection with all sorts of animals.
I had an alexendrine parakeet but in india it's illegal to keep them so I took it to ELA foundation and they freed him, it's good for him that he is in the jungle right now but I miss him a lot, he was like my small brother and his name was "ok", he was a 2 year old, zapper reminds me of him
I used to have an Indian Ringneck Parakeet, although on a fateful day, it escaped it's cage, I hadn't rescued it or bought it, I had found it on my garden. I did not have a chance to tame it or have it trust me.
As a kid I had a parrot which looked like urs and I tell him to do a trick without forcing it or giving it a treat as a reward cause we took good care of it
They are smart, there are a lot of those beautiful birds here in amsterdam, I allways hear them when biking through or outside of the city. If you arrange food on the balcony, you can see them from very close!
Hi, he's so cute. So listen, I have one of those in our house. She just came here one day and never left. Been like 10 years now. She only likes me, and let's only me to pet her. We just give her the food we eat, rice and whatnot. Any special tips you can give?
I have owned a cockatiel previously, and after about 3 wonderful years with her she passed away. It’s been 3 years since she passed and I think I’m ready to offer a home to another bird. I have been thinking about what bird would be suitable for me, I have a lot of space and a lot of free time, so I have been thinking about getting a Hahn’s or Illiger’s macaw. I’ve also been thinking of an Alexandrine Parakeet. Does anyone have suggestions?
I've taught my cat to sit, stay, touch, give me her paw, and spin with a clicker. I really see her responding to it! The other night after dinner I was trying to get her to give me her paw without a clicker and she was completely ignoring me but when I brought it out she immediately focused, even though I didn't bring out treats that time.
i’m getting a rescue parrot soon and when they sent the picture i was like isn’t that an indian ringneck but the i noticed the marking on the wing and the long tail
I’ve got two indian ringneck that i’ve bought, one is a two year old girl, and one is a boy of which is 6 months both untamed. They are both in the same cage. It’s been about two weeks now since i’ve had them however i’m unable to interact with them as when I go near them the boy starts flying around which I think also scares the older girl away. I am sometimes able to feed them would you recommend separating them to tame them or not.
Amazing he took better to ya finger good . Bless him i have just landed on same bird he in bad shape . On road to recovery how long before he trusts me
I have a Alexandrine Parrot same as yours. He got two problems (1) his wing didn’t grow back and it is been 8 months but I don’t see any growth. (2) he recently chew and break his tail, some of his tail is broken but hanging and some of them are cut of. Now my bird got no tail and I don’t see any tail growth.
have a great day everyone 😁
Thanks, you too! 💕
Anny np 😄
Thank you 😁

You asking if he was quick learner
And him bobbing his head
Was so cute

His head spins are so fun- what a clever, beautiful boy!
He's so excited his tail feather fell out
hahahahahah
We know
🤣🤣🤣🤣
My first thought: wow, his tail is super long.
Two minutes in: omg, it fell off!!!!
supernovabay true AF
Me too. 😂
Lol
@@sunshine5668 once you're parrot or macaw loses his feathers, you can use the feathers as decorations for headdress 😊
Jessy, the fact that you not only realize when you've made even a tiny mistake but you always say so. Then you take all the pressure off and finish with a huge reward. Lovely to see you with your critters!
Oh my gosh. What a good boy. How cute and smart he is.
4.48 : he turns round on the perch on his own 🤣
Totally! You can see him looking up at Jessi like "Excuse me... I thought I had trained you to give me a treat every time I turn. I guess we're going to have to keep working on this behavior."
Haha! Hes so smart and does so much begging! It's so hard not to reward him for offering a behavior without me asking first (which just leads to impatience and frustration).
Nothing more glorious would ever be captured on camera than Zapper's tail feather falling off!
🤣😂 agree
He's like "stop talking i want to touch the stick!!"
So cute, even if he doesn't, we appreciate the explanations!
He's was so eagerly looking at the hand that gave him treats
Every time it came near him.
Jesse I’ve been wanting to say that watching your videos these last few years motivated me to give my animals in a lab at my university the best care I can when I started working with them this semester. It made me eager to learn about their personalities and bodies :)
He sounds like a little Pokémon. I love him so much. 🥰🥰🥰
What a jam-packed episode! Thank you for sharing Zapper with us. I love all the little noises he makes and how clear he communicates.
Looks like him and you are having a great training day, so cute! I love how healthy your birds are, so engaged and understood by you.
That was so awesome to watch a whole training session like that. Definitely would enjoy seeing that with other animals.
Absolutely love it, Jessi. I'd say my only complaint would be how he's biting the stick rather then just touching it because it could accidentally get you aggression on cue but it doesn't look like it's a problem for you but it is something for viewers that want to try touch training to be aware of.

He's absolutely gorgeous and so intelligent! It was almost like he instinctively knew what you wanted him to do.
Who would've thought the tail would just molt off during a video XD pretty cool to see molting happen live! Usually a parrot owner just takes about it, I didn't know it happens so suddenly like that.
He sounds like Kemosabe.
I'd love to hear them having a conversation
Ya
I love how excited he is. Why does he spin his head around like that when he's excited?
It's basically just how some parrots express their excitement, and get some of that energy out. Like a dog that chases their tail when they get excited. ^_^
@@TheCassafrassTree Thank you!
Kemosabe in bird form!! :) I could listen to those little chirps all day. :D I love these videos and if I ever have parakeets again I would try training. :) - Heidi
He's just like my bird, loves treats but I don't think any actually ends up in their mouths
Actually the nut shell falls off and he eats the inside of it, I think
Just got a 8 months old today , I'm letting him settle on his new environment and human. But I'll be visiting your tutorials a lot. I've had parrots all kinds but it's always good to know the specifics for each species. Thanks for the tutorial
I also have an alexandrine parakeet who died in 29 March 2021 this week and he lived with us for 4 years I love him alot
How
@@lightofeyezz He stuck an iron stuff in his throat by which he didn't eat or drink for one day for which he died the next day
When his tail feather just flopped out
Zapper is such a good and talented boy! I wish new hires at my job were as easy to train, lol.
These are just so heart warming. Jessi, your passion for animals is infectious in the best way.
What a cutie! He's so into you and playing new games! 💕
He's STUNNING. Beautiful colors.
He is so precious. Zapper is very cute! You are an excellent bird trainer. I have a cockateil & a Canary Winged Parakeet. 🖤🕊️
omg when he accepts the almond at the end. I love this video, it's great to see content where it seems people truly care about the animals well being, and engagement. Great content, made my day
I am adopting a baby lovebird from a rescue soon! I'm very excited, and I'm going to try and teach her the circle motion and recall!
You are sooooo amazing ♥️ I have an Alexandrine Parakeet & I've been sick worried about how much he was molting .. I found your channel last night & I've been binge watching your videos ever since!!! & I have to say, you're my saviour 🤗
Thanks a lot 🙏🏾
He heard you talking about turning around so he jettisoned that huge tail feather to become more maneuverable.
At the end he was like "will you stop moving please I am doing dangerous stuff here, human !"
His engaged and happy sounded are wonderful
Good Job, Zapper and Jesse.
4:55 "Where's my treat?!?"
I love how she throws in random facts about how to do something or about the animal
He's a beautiful bird. I own both Alex's and ringnecks and although I love both my Alex's really capture my heart.
Zapper is so lovely!!Such a quick learner!

u didnt need to say hindi was the official indian language most of us know that
I love how talkative Zapper is.
I could watch her train ALL SAY! What I wouldn't have gemucen for this kind of animal behavior retaining availability when I was college age 30 years ago. I could have made my life's passion my work as well. She is dauntless in her cheerful efforts, creativity and true connection with all sorts of animals.
I like how both of your cloth's color match
He loves making you happy!
I like this parrot ! Easy and friendly !!!
At 4:45 when she is talking zapper moves 360° hoping for treat. Poor noi 😂😂😂😂😭😓😂
I had an alexendrine parakeet but in india it's illegal to keep them so I took it to ELA foundation and they freed him, it's good for him that he is in the jungle right now but I miss him a lot, he was like my small brother and his name was "ok", he was a 2 year old, zapper reminds me of him
Zapper and Kemosabe make the cutest sounds. They're interestingly similar
it's been forever since I've seen zapper good to see him doing well
I used to have an Indian Ringneck Parakeet, although on a fateful day, it escaped it's cage, I hadn't rescued it or bought it, I had found it on my garden. I did not have a chance to tame it or have it trust me.
AHHH I love his little boops!!
As a kid I had a parrot which looked like urs and I tell him to do a trick without forcing it or giving it a treat as a reward cause we took good care of it
Nobody:
Not a single soul:
Zapper: "You spin me right round, baby, right round
Like a record, baby, right round, round, round"
Tail feather: POP!
They are smart, there are a lot of those beautiful birds here in amsterdam, I allways hear them when biking through or outside of the city. If you arrange food on the balcony, you can see them from very close!
They r very adorable.. I love them so much.. I have a pair since they were little .. They r very affectionate..💖💖💖
I'm in love with he laser pew pew sounds
Wow, I’m so proud of Zapper!
Hi, he's so cute. So listen, I have one of those in our house. She just came here one day and never left. Been like 10 years now. She only likes me, and let's only me to pet her. We just give her the food we eat, rice and whatnot. Any special tips you can give?
I also had one. But he died 3 days ago. He was 27 years old and lived a very happy life. He used to talk a lot.
Great job in training Jessi....Zapper is so adorable too:) Thanks so much:)

Been waiting for one of your uploads animal wonders!
Beautiful bird. Adorable sounds.
I've taught my cat to sit, stay, touch, give me her paw, and spin with a clicker. I really see her responding to it! The other night after dinner I was trying to get her to give me her paw without a clicker and she was completely ignoring me but when I brought it out she immediately focused, even though I didn't bring out treats that time.
What a smart kitty let you've got. 🥰
His tail is crazy!! How do you find a travel carrier and even a cage that he can fit in comfortably without damaging his tail?
You put the perch up closer to one end of the carrier haha. It's also quite flexible
birb makes birb soundies
It's cool seeing someone using some of the tactics birdtricks uses
Hi what food do Alexandrine parrots like this most as their treats?
What a smart bird! Great job!
That was amazing! Was so much fun to watch!
Which food you giving to parrot
He's so smart!
Is zapper heavy and he is one of my fav birds

Our rescue umbrella cockatoo does the 'hang upside down' with our son.
Hi Jessi! Is Zapper free flight trained or does he get clipped so he can be outdoors? Thanks in advance!

Love your work, I have a green cheek conure and would love to start teaching him some tricks, what’s a good treat I can give him to encourage him?
i have a alexendrine parrot, he is 6-7 months old, but he is scared of everything. any tips on how to train him to not be scared?
I have a Alexandrine Parrot same as yours. He got two problems (1) his wing didn’t grow back and it is been 8 months but I don’t see any growth. (2) he recently chew and break his tail, some of his tail is broken but hanging and some of them are cut of. Now my bird got no tail and I don’t see any tail growth.

It's satisfying to see a bird going on someone's hand
yooss zapper is my favourite
