The Government keeps one upping it's game. Soon those feathered spy drones would prove to be too adorable (well, they already are but we can still manage them)
Yeah. I was ready for a neglect story, but got something much better. Glad they were able to get these birds a new home. I wonder if the previous owner has seen this video.
OMG, these birds are gorgeous! I've never seen them before. Really looking forward to seeing them getting settled and living a good life in their new environment.
Wow she's beautiful and watching her making so much progress is so satisfying. Thank you so much Jessi for sharing your knowledge with us. Love from Mauritius ❤
These two are lovely new additions to your animal family. I think you will have them as enchanting and engaging ambassadors in no time at all given their relative ease with you already. I am also pretty sure they will have more play and enrichment in their new lives than had they remained pets of a single family (no matter how hard the family tried). You are so good with ALL your charges, and I believe they instinctively know you are a safe person for them to trust. You may just have received a couple of new fan favourites...I just find them all beautiful and amazing...no favourites here. Stay safe and healthy while you ensure the same for your charges.🖤🇨🇦
Just out of curiosity: Is there a reason Sunny seems much more calm around you and is more accepting of being touched? Like did she have more human interaction then Sprite before coming to animal wonders? Or is just a difference in their personalities?
Yes, that's exactly what happened. Sunny was handled quite a lot as a baby and when Sprite was introduced to the household she was both bullied by Sunny and also didn't get the same kind of interaction Sunny did. I was told Sprite never felt comfortable taking food from a hand let alone being touched.
Axolotl. Great question, it was really apparent how much more at ease Sunny was, and how skittish and wary Sprite was. I have no doubt that Sprite will be totally comfortable with her new care team in no time at all. Sprite is a real beauty, Sunny is too, but once she gets her sea legs I suspect that Sprite will be showing everyone who the Boss is.🖤🇨🇦
Look at those tiny dinos! Turacos are the only truly GREEN birds in nature. Every other green bird has green from the structure of their feathers combined with yellow pigments, turacos have their own unique green pigment in the feathers!
Wow! I didn't know that. I knew about the rarity of _blue_ pigment in the animal kingdom, but not about the rarity of green pigment in birds. Structural colour is so fascinating. I remember the first time I saw a Blue Morpho specimen drenched in alcohol (which interferes with the structural colour), and the sped up footage of the blue colour coming back as it dried- it really made an impression on me. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
@@animalwondersmontana Hi ma'am I want to talk to you about how to switch my cockatiel parrot from a diet of sunflower seeds to a more healthy diet because he eats only sunflower seeds , please reply 🙏🙏🙏🙏
@@kanishkshahi5691 Look up the UA-cam channel BirdTricks (Animal Wonders did a collab with them once). They have a ton of videos on what's a healthy diet for parrots and how to transition birds onto it.
Sunny and Sprite are beautiful birds. I think Sunny will be a great ambassador too. You and your family are such so blessed. Thanks for the video and take care and be safe.
Good question! I've known some facilities that use anklets and jesses on their turacos, but a harness is more appropriate equipment for turacos due to the difference in leg strength between turacos and raptors. If we absolutely can't get Sunny to accept a harness, we may move toward using anklets and jesses, but it would definitely be less jdeal.
My begnal/savanna mix (*Nala-Boujie*) is officially one month into her toilet training, but I still am having to pick my battles in regards to the harness and the furry Houdini. I loved this video of these two beauties, and Nalabou enjoyed it as well!! Here's to a life-long happy ambassador duo!
Very nice looking birds. These should not be in the pet trade though like toucans so that part was disappointing but glad there in better hands now. Hopefully they adjust and become good ambassadors to help inform about there kind. Thats a good brand of pellet too, nice they will be getting quality food.
Ahh the ol' "Fear vs. Food" a.k.a the only reason I interact with most people. Maslows hierarchy of needs makes the thought process pretty simple for all creatures On the danger scale: Starvation > social anxiety On the one hand it's very easy to empathize with animals that aren't use to, or are already afraid of human interaction: but actually interacting with other humans......eh not nearly as easy, even if it's typically less dangerous/likely to result in getting nipped or scratched. Hahaha keep up all the wonderful work! Love your channel!
A high end per store locally had one f these couple years ago....2400 without cage. It was amazing in person, it was red crested. So beautiful and blew my mind.
Jesse, I would love to see a tour of your facility. I love what you do! You always have these new spaces popping up. Also you never really talk about your domestic animals.
Don't the turacos have a family member who is called "go away bird"? They are very beautiful! I imagine the little dinosaur ancestors of birds to look a bit like them. Thank you very much!
Thank you! Amazon has been doing that a lot lately and I don't know why. Can you send an email to animalwondersmontana@gmail.com and I can give you a different mailing address, we have a volunteer that has offered to accept packages when Amazon won't deliver to our po box.
Oh thank you for the harness training demonstration. I have 2 green cheeks conures that I would like to train to accept a harness. Would you consider making a video of the overall progress with training a bird to accept a harness?
I did a Wikipedia dive and apparently they are part of the same "otidimorphae" clade as bustards and cuckoos. Though distant, those might be their closest living relatives. I could not find the definition of "otidi" but scientists usually group birds based on head and beak shape.
Turacos are from the family Musophagidae translating to "Plantain eaters", they are not related to cuckoos and have nothing in common with them. They are softbill birds their diets are fruit based (low iron) and somewhat insects and leaves.
It was a really hard one. I'm so grateful when I know the previous owners love their animals and only want the best for them. My heart breaks for their loss and grief. If they want to, I keep an open line of communication and updates however frequently they need them until the hurt subsides a bit.
For once I’m early! I wish I could have a pet but my dad has allergies and my mom’s landlord doesn’t let her :( When a new vid is posted I’m literally like “ I have to watch that!” And then UA-cam goes “I don’t think so...”
Hello Jessi! First of all, what a beautiful pair of birds! Where do they live in the wild? Turaco seems ike a spanish name... Secondly, why did you keep stroking you hand on your jeans before caressing the Turaco?
Turacos come from Africa! I was wiping my hand on my pants before I touched Sunny. Their food is all fruit so touching it makes my hands wet and sticky which would make them uncomfortable if I touched them without cleansing my fingers off first 🙂
I don't know who keeps inventing these new kinds of bird but let me tell you, they nail it every time. These are some sweeties.
I can send you some the designs for cool new birds if you want. You do need a 3d printer though
Apparently, there's around 10,000 species of birds!
The Government keeps one upping it's game. Soon those feathered spy drones would prove to be too adorable (well, they already are but we can still manage them)
Sad that the owner had the allergic reaction but also kinda nice to hear a story where they were clearly loved instead of neglected
Yeah. I was ready for a neglect story, but got something much better. Glad they were able to get these birds a new home. I wonder if the previous owner has seen this video.
supersmilyface1 Agreed

Animal Wonders has made me realize how amazing and fairytale like our world is, especially the creatures on it. 😊
OMG, these birds are gorgeous! I've never seen them before. Really looking forward to seeing them getting settled and living a good life in their new environment.
Sunny's little crest puffing up as she eats a blueberry is just too freakin' cute for words.
Shoutout to the national bird of Swazliland!
!!! That's a wonderful fact to know 🌈
You mean Swaziland/eSwatini?
@@retf8977 I would expect. Likely just made a typo
Turacos! Magical birds from my childhood. Marvellous to see them interacting with a human so bravely: go Sunny and Sprite !
Where are you from, and what kind of environment do the birds live in?
I love seeing when your hard work paid off and the animal start to trust you. Seeing sprite take food from your hand is just so awesome. 😂
Gorgeous Birds, is so gentle of how you treat them this is so sweet oh my Sunny is so pretty
They're so pretty! So nice to see how patient you are with them as they get used to all these new things.
Omg the are hair icons I love them
I love the close up camera, a great way to get up close and personal with the birds in a way that isn't intrusive!
Wow she's beautiful and watching her making so much progress is so satisfying. Thank you so much Jessi for sharing your knowledge with us. Love from Mauritius ❤

Holy cow!! the colors on the purple and green are incredible!!
they are beautiful! And so brave and responsive! The last one expecially!
Congratulations on the two newest (avian) dinosaurs to join the Animal Wonders family! I hope they continue to thrive in their new home!!

I’ve never seen these birds before but I’m totally in love with them! Can’t wait to see more of them
they are so brave! what amazing progress a week into living in a new space with new people. such good birds!
Sunny and Sprite are beautiful birds. I think Sunny will be a great ambassador too. You and your family are such so blessed. Thanks for the video and take care and be safe.
wow Jessie their trust is amazing!! i cant believe this is just about a week of work!
Is there a reason Sunny specifically has to wear a harness instead of using jesses like Rook and Hera do?
Good question! I've known some facilities that use anklets and jesses on their turacos, but a harness is more appropriate equipment for turacos due to the difference in leg strength between turacos and raptors. If we absolutely can't get Sunny to accept a harness, we may move toward using anklets and jesses, but it would definitely be less jdeal.
What a treat to see such beautiful birds!
They are so beautiful! Best of luck for their care and training going forward!
Gorgeous birds ! I'm so glad they ended up in such a loving place where they'll get lots of attention and enrichments !

Curious as to why you think they should not be pets
Turacos are so cool! I’ve always wanted to know more about them! Looking forward to more about Sunny and Sprite!
oh wow! I've seen these birds in exotic bird books but I had no idea people kept them as pets! They're lovely
Didn't even know these birds exist. They're so pretty!
I've never even heard of this species before!
Such beautiful birds never seen before 😯
Absolutely stunning birds.
such beautiful birds, gl with their training!
Wow it is so neat to see your training in action! Love all your work. These cuties seem super special.
The colors on these birds is insane! Nature is wild yall
Beautiful birds. It's interesting the way you communicate & train them, it's similar using the positive reinforcement to "It's me or the dog" lol. 😆✌
They are so beautiful!
Sprite's eyeliner is inspiring. Gorgeous birds

Hi I love your vids so informative of birds and other animal
your videos brighten my day
Turacos are such cute bird's
What amazing birds! I've never heard of turacos before this, I've got some reading to do this week!
A high end per store locally had one f these couple years ago....2400 without cage. It was amazing in person, it was red crested. So beautiful and blew my mind.
Omg! They are beautiful!!!! I love you so much, Jessi! I have learned SO much about animals and I can’t wait to learn more :)
Those birds are so pretty! It looks like training is going nicely so far!
I am excited to see these two become animal ambassadors and show their personalities as they grow into the life and work of Animal Wonders.
Wow, what beautiful birds! Thats major progress with them!!
Awesome! Welcome!
New type of bird that I now know of, adorable.
Also, it seems most birds that eat fruit love blueberries, from what I've seen.
Awesome Birds!! Thanks.
Jesse, I would love to see a tour of your facility. I love what you do! You always have these new spaces popping up. Also you never really talk about your domestic animals.
Omg they are beautiful!
I love turacos, really cool education birds.
Gorgeous and the birds are pretty to
Have you ever sneezed at just the wrong time while training? Did it set bach the training?
Or accidentally move too fast or get too excited?
You should do another video showing all your birds!
Amazing birbs!
love them, I hope you get the great blue one and the violet color
OMG they are gorgeous.
Don't the turacos have a family member who is called "go away bird"?
They are very beautiful! I imagine the little dinosaur ancestors of birds to look a bit like them.
Thank you very much!
Yes the grey-turaco or go-away bird is part of the same family.
omg they are soooooo cute!! her colors are so amazing
Which one
Both?
yea
they are both so cutw
They're beautiful
Who enjoys blueberries more, Sunny or Zeema?
Beautiful! ☺️
I love this channel
I love your bird videos:D I watched them all the time at school
Wow they are so strange looking but so adorable 😍
They are soooo pretty
Just gorgeous birds! TY guys SO much for what you do & loving and caring for these animals
Thank you! Amazon has been doing that a lot lately and I don't know why. Can you send an email to animalwondersmontana@gmail.com and I can give you a different mailing address, we have a volunteer that has offered to accept packages when Amazon won't deliver to our po box.
@@animalwondersmontana Will do, thank you!
Ur been helping me learn about pets bc i want to help pets to!
The turacos look very cute though. Hope to see them in more videos.
Oh thank you for the harness training demonstration. I have 2 green cheeks conures that I would like to train to accept a harness. Would you consider making a video of the overall progress with training a bird to accept a harness?
Are you hiring anyone to help out? I am mesmerized by all the creatures you all care for.
There soooooooooo cute!!!!!!!
Both are gorgeous. Any news on the African Grey you just took in? :)
He's doing good! But coming along slowly. I'm going at his pace and I'll get him in a video when he's ready :)
Nice hair styles!! 😁
They're so pretty! Are they related to pheasants? They sort of remind me of pheasants...or maybe quail?

So glad you had space for these beauties! What happened to Tika the white cheek turaco?
Wow Jessi you have a lot of energy to take care of all your animals, and now that you brought in 2 birds how many animals do you have?
hurray!
How sad for that former owner! I couldn't imagine having to give up my pets. At least they were able to come to such an amazing new home!
It was a really hard one. I'm so grateful when I know the previous owners love their animals and only want the best for them. My heart breaks for their loss and grief. If they want to, I keep an open line of communication and updates however frequently they need them until the hurt subsides a bit.
@@animalwondersmontana that's amazing to hear that you offer that piece of mind for the owners should they want/need that :)
They look like archaeopteryx
This made me miss working with turacos, horrendous poop but worth it
can you do a harness training vid? i would be very helpful!!!
Wow they’re awesome what sort of noises do they make ? Can you teach them to say things like parrots do ?
They make an interesting call! Nothing like a parrot and they don't mimic. You should Google their call so you can hear it, you won't regret it!
For once I’m early! I wish I could have a pet but my dad has allergies and my mom’s landlord doesn’t let her :(

I was wiping my hand on my pants before I touched Sunny. Their food is all fruit so touching it makes my hands wet and sticky which would make them uncomfortable if I touched them without cleansing my fingers off first 🙂
Sprite reminds me of a rescue cat I have. She will come forward, snatch away a treat, then eat it further away from me.
