Macaws and cockatoo are SO very loving and friendly and make exelant companions...but I gotta call BS on the "they don't speak/understand" argument...these animals are more perceptive than most give credit for..and they pick up words like a toddler will..teach them proper word Association and you have a bird that can tell you when it's hungry,and exactly what it wants.
The air sac around the syrinx amplifies such sounds. That advantage allows the parrot to mimic human words. Recent research suggests that parrots' ability to mimic speech may also be owed to the anatomy of their brains and their tongues... Love how she tries to correct the questions instead of answering the questions. Common name parrot or macaw: Kingdom Animalia Phylum Chordata Class Aves Order Psittaciformes Family Psittacidae (true parrots) Genus Species.
1. Gabe was showing a lot of hormonal behaviors with his trainer, especially near the beginning, where he was regurgitating and trying to get her attention, to which, she completely ignored for a moment, but then she just looked at him, smiled, and continued to pet him and touch him, which is what triggers that hormonal behavior in the first place!
2. You NEED to think about those things as tricks, not behaviors. A behavior is something they naturally do, not something learned. Learned behaviors need to be identified like tricks, because this allows more control, a better bond, the bird's ability to keep learning new tricks, and it allows people to be safer, and over all, just more trust is built. On top of that, you need make everything a trick. A free-flight bird might land on someone, so you need to train it like a trick to come off safely- no joke, it NEEDS to be trained like a trick, not a behavior.
3. To build the best possible bond with your bird, you need them to be able to choose to be with you, to come to you. Step-up is a trick, and needs to be treated as such. If a bird wants to step-up, it will, if it doesn't, then you need to be respectful of that, or your bird will learn to associate you with bad things, like fear, negitivity, etc. You have to give the bird a choice in everything, never force it or expect it to happen. Don't push your birds chest or anything like that, they won't like it and will learn to never come, because they are afraid or unhappy with you. By using the word behavior, you are doing this by basically just expecting this bird to always do it, because a behavior is a common, repeated thing that a bird does with little to no fail. A trick, on the other hand, allows the occasional failure, choice not to do it, or the realization of the short-term inability to do something due to either exaustion, being full, wanting to do something else, distraction, fear, etc. If you can't recognize this simple concept, this tangible difference, you are not meant to be a trainer.
I also don't like how the trainer was talking to him, treating him, socializing with him, training him, or anything else. She should not be his trainer. She should be fired from her job, he didn't like her until she did something that triggered a hormonal response, which should not be happening frequently enough to see in a video as short as this one. She is clearly terrible at training animals!
Amen.
@@Mal-ou8yl agreed.
You seem to be very knowledgeable. Can you share any resources to learn more about B&G macaws? Please
"They aren't really speaking. They don't understand the words they're saying." FALSE! I ran a parrot rescue for 20 years and have had a companion blue and gold macaw like this one for 19 years. They can speak and understand what they're saying if they learn IN CONTEXT. They learn just like a human child - teach a child words out of context and they won't understand the words but will mimic them at random. Teach them in context and they'll understand their meaning and say them when appropriate. A funny case in point, my B&G macaw, Ra, learned a few curse words from listening to me working on my computer. So, for example, when he's frustrated with something, he'll curse at it just like I do and for the same reason. For example, on our last outing, he was having a good time and didn't want to go home to bed. So while driving home, when we started driving down the streets to our home, each turn onto a street he knew was one we take towards our house, he would immediately say, "Oh, sh_t!" ROFL (but I don't laugh when he does it because it encourages him to to it)
It actually depends on how you define "language"... If you define language as verbal communication and paralanguage as non-verbal communication; parrots absolutely have both. But there is an important aspect of human language that they lack: generative grammar. While parrots can imitate sounds and correlate those sounds to meaning and use those sounds for communication in some pretty marvelously complex ways (such as your macaw on the car trip!!), a parrot would never be able to learn the systemic ways in which those words can be combined and changed into meaningful sentences. (e.x. a macaw might know the phrases that include: "yesterday", "go bye-byes", and even some with pronouns... but it would never spontaneously combine those into a grammatical sentence it has never heard before like: "We went bye-byes yesterday" whereas human children have this ability innately)
So yeah, I think the handler was probably just trying to say that the birds don't actually use grammar or fully developed human language the same way we do, but they are able to use a vast array of words and diverse vocalizations to communicate with humans, but she misspoke maybe due to nerves or trying to be overly generic? I mean, the interviewer didn't even seem to know what a "parrot" or a "macaw" was at the start...
Bro the comment and reply-
THANK YOU FOR THIS!
No not rlly. Macows they are very domesticated yes. But most that get a lot of space and stuff just yell. Or at least my aunts macows never speak. They just yell very loud. I’ve never heard them speak in any language. Maybe they try but I think it would take a very. Very long time. And they live like 50 years so thats why some speak like humans after only hearing people.
I wish i could have one. I just don't wanna die yet without having one. 😭
WTF very cute macaw and looking so beautiful that I wanna having it very soon by getting appreciated from this video
I love it.
Sister and her husband needed to have someone foster their Macaw so my mom and dad agreed to. We had "baby" for a year. He adopted me, he was so much fun. We had several cats. NONE of them wanted anything to do with the bird LOL The bird used to talk, would call the cats like my mom did. Kitty kitty kitty kitty! lol
I went to someone's house who are selling parrots and I was even more surprised to see a macaw when I went in.
I would like to buy one for how much and where?
My mother is buying me a gold and blue macaw this September

I have exactly 18
Birda
Wow 18. I just got my first today and plan to get two more. Share some tips please
why colors blue and yellow, ? it makes it visible for other animal
Actually they do know what there saying …cause every time our bird see you eat .. she says (her name) wants a cracker !!!
Do you have any budgies
I do
I have 3 green wing macaw and 2 milly gold macaw
I want one
I want macow ...anyone help me
Obviously she works with them and doesn’t live with them. Our 2 Macaws definitely know what they are saying.
We won’t be having much fun this year , dam 2020..my grandad had a blue n gold that we had after he died..coco died 2 years ago he was 82 years old..lol no it’s not him showing you that you have a bond ..he’s sexually charged..so to encourage that behaviour is bad..my new chick that I’ve been searching for, for a year hatched 9 days ago..my daughter is a vet so the bird will be hers when I die...it’s already in my will..if you get a bird like this you must make provisions for the fact they out live us...can’t even go see him till the travel is ok again..
Exactly right. It's so obvious to me that she is truly a terrible trainer, she has no right to be there, she didn't know very much at all, she was avoiding answers, she did not understand how to properly bond with or even train a macaw. Regurgitation is not something that you want to encourage, as it will lead to a very noisy, mean, hormonal, frustrated, bitey, spiteful bird, one that will be building nests, developing cage, room, or entire house aggression, and they won't like you in their space. They will become your worst nightmare. She is raising him to be a monster, a clawed, beaked, strong monster, that can and will aflict damage!!
@@TaraAndFriends I know way more about toos than macaws and even I know that this feels wrong. As a general rule, I never want to touch a bird below the head and neck unless it's to save them from a horrible fate or general health like nails,shots or other medications. I hate it when people do things they see as sexual. It feels even worse when you see parrots as children who almost literally never grow up
Who is here thinking the bird is chatarpatar
i want gold macaw but my parents say its a big job
It is...of all pets,a highly intelligent bird like a parrot is more time consuming than any other pet..not only do you need to do the basics (wood,water exercise ect) but they DEMAND consistant interaction and attention on a daily basis...a bird like a macaws can actually die of heartbreak or loneliness.
Despite the responsibility though it can be very rewarding...as blue and gold macaws are very friendly,playfully companions.
I’m get a macaw
Oi
Didn't say anything about Macaws you need to know , says everything you need to know about Macaws, wrong title for video, what to feed them , how long do they live , breeding , & the list goes on, sorry love Macaws but your video wasn't helpful at all
