So right about the toys! I hear bird owners complain that their birds ruin their toys in a day or so and won't give them anymore because it's to expensive to keep buying toys 🤔 I guess they think their bird should sit on a perch all day and look pretty 😢
Or they let them put just anything in their beaks, all types of plastics, metals. Mater the Cockatoo just passed several weeks ago from metal toxicity. The channel is called Suzy the Cockatoo, she made a video when he passed, explaining how Mater already had metal toxicity before she resucued him.
@@Starkindyteacher There honestly need to be a LOT more channels just showing how to make bird toys. Im about to get 2 macaws (yes i know...) and while im worried about diet, time etc... theres pretty much zero info on bird toy materials. There is wood that is toxic.. literally poison. "ill buy this nylon rope".. nope " can i use hemp rope" etc etc
@@charlesreid9337 there's a couple of good shops online, where you can buy just the pieces for bird toys. Feathered Addictions (Bc Canada; www.featheredaddictions.com/ ) and My Safe Bird Store (New Jersey, USA; www.mysafebirdstore.com/ ) are both good sites where you can buy safe parts to make toys. i'm sure there's probably more, so feel free to add if anyone knows any.. but these are the ones i've heard of.
It just sucks how expensive healthy pellets are for birds, I can’t afford it sadly so I try to feed my Caique a lot of banana and red peppers weirdly. My birds cage is really nice with lots of toys, I just have a cat and I have her in her cage a lot of the day, so I get her out for my shower and night time routine, she LOVES the shower, it’s easily her favorite thing.
This video came at the perfect time! I’m getting a turquoise pineapple green cheek conure very soon, she will be my first bird. I have researched for almost a year and have a large flight cage with lots of toys and only natural wood perches.Anyone have any name suggestions for this little girl? She’s a sassy little girl, I gave her a treat she didn’t like and she threw it at me😂 Update: I brought her home on Tuesday (November 24th) and she’s sooooo sweet. I’m teaching her step up and just starting to teach recall. Still haven’t chose a name but I’m thinking maybe ducky because she quacks like a duck lol. I still haven’t made a final decision though
How about Keke pronounced Key Key...something short and simple she can learn. My 2 year old green cheek says over 10 words or phrases including his name!
SUCH CUTIE PIES! So cool how Bondi talks! She is ready for a Birdie Beauty Pagent, such gorgeous Rose coloring! That was funny at end of video with the 2 boys...definate favoritism Mister Jinx ( or perhaps Jinxster the stinker?) just kidding. 😘 I've never 'had' a birdie as a pet. I didn't know THEY Choose who gets more attention. Evidentally Humans they deem ....... "the Coolest". Love Love Love seeing your group of colorful smarties!

Hi im a grass parakeet breeder (small scale ) helpful tips !😄I know alot of people are against breeding birds but the happiness of my birds are keen and i make sure they are well loved when they get new homes😁 I love all your birds especially Bondi, Galahs are my favourite 😛
I think it should also be noted that you shouldn't jam pack your cage with toys either, too many can have the opposite affect so make sure your birds aren't claustrophobic
I have an aviary and found if there were too many toys hanging from the ceiling then my girl wouldn't use her wings to jump from perch to perch, so toys are hung from the sides and corners. This is the only way she's comfortable flying in her aviary and I could see other birds possibly having the same issue without the owner even realizing
that''s easy to solve! just buy your bird it's own house to live in, and then you can get it as many toys as you want! thats totally reasonable, right? xD
I feed my birds the natural feeding system for Fall/Winter and they also get roudybush, and Harrison’s pellets and a little bit of seed only when they go out and fly around They have 5 foot tall corner cage and lots of shredding toys and natural perches and natural sunlight by the window AS WELL as shade so the don’t just bake They know basic recall and a couple tricks like “robot” (they do little beeping noises that sound like R2D2) and “spin” which they do on a rope perch Edit: I have two budgies and might be getting a green cheek conure. My yellow female budgie is in my profile picture and I also have a male in the same cage, but I don’t provide huts or bedding and they aren’t interested in mating with each other but they also are not aggressive towards each other. I also have extra cages just in case!
I love your videos Jamie !! Continue to do so well ! I will adopt a Derbyan Parroquet in 6 months, i'm so excited. Your reminders are perfects basics. Thank you for all your help with your channel !!
oh my gosh, yes, less is more in terms of interaction! I hear a LOT of people say, "Spend as much time as you can with this pet!" While, yes this is true, less is more sometimes. Building trust may be a few short handlings a day until that bond gets built up. You'd rather have them see you ONLY as a positive than a negative. In my experience, an animal that knows you've never done them wrong, will end up pretty much doing anything for you. The trust and relationship is so real and rewarding ❤️❤️
This is very reinforcing in the way of me wanting to get a bird, but my parents don't let me have one. I might show them #5 to prove that they are destructive but also it enriches them.
I really enjoyed this video! Birds are such misunderstood animals. I always love hearing all of your amazing information and of course seeing Bondi boo! Bondi is my favorite! I love galahs so much!!! They are definitely a dream bird of mine!
I rescued a 23 yo Grey who had only ever been on a black sunflower seeds diet, he loves the feeding system. He gets VERY excited for breakfast. Hid first vet visit she was stunned and pleased by his diet ans his toys.. I also love to see the shredded mess he makes with his toys because he only ever had a set of bells to play with.
I realy want to put al your knowledge in to my brain, every time i see you with your birds, i am always asking my self a lot of questions, how did she desensitized her birds, how did she trains her parrot not to bite or be calm what are al her keys to achieve something positively. Your relationship is so positive. Like your channel so interesting

Feeding tips for non parrot people : research what the heck of a species you are getting and what they eat in the wild. And if your birb is a seed specialist, suprise; there are healthy seed diets. Seed specialists will starve to death without grit. Also a lot of seemingly vegan birds are definitely not. Like most finches. Get those worms. And then, in a lot of species, food is directly linked to their hormones.
If it makes you feel better, there are some of us that don't have birds yet watching! I'm pretty sure I want a caique, so I am learning proper care/feeding now, literally years before I'll ever adopt one. :)

Amazing vid I’ve been researching and watching your vids before I bought my African grey and he is so friendly I bought your chunky mystery toy box and love and will by another 1 thankyou
I've had my cockatiel for months now after doing loads of research and sometimes I just come back to your videos and make sure my care for her is up to standard
Thanks for the video! I've got a question about batting cages for outdoor flight... Regular baseball batting nets would probably be too widely spaced for smaller birds like a conure. I saw something called "golf impact netting" with smaller openings to protect against stray golf balls. Would this be appropriate to use for the smaller birds?
Hello! Just a personal request... can you do a step by step tutorial on recall training? I want my cockatoo to be free flighted and would love to go to the park, but more importantly, am terrified about accidentally leaving something open... she comes to me but outside is different
TL;DR: Macaws are said to not be able to handle being around cockatoos and greys, or they might die from hypersensitivity to the dust. Thoughts, and are you separating your dusty/non-dusty birds? I've been into parrots for many years (17 and counting), but I only recently learned about pulmonary/respiratory hypersensitivity in macaws and conures (and possibly other South American parrots). The general concept is that these birds, apparently especially blue and gold macaws (perhaps overestimated due to how common they are, perhaps due to their nostrils being completely exposed), are sometimes oversensitive to the dust from cockatoos and greys, and can die prematurely from just sharing the room with a grey or cockatiel (not even talking multiple white cockatoos, which is a different dimension of dust). I mostly see this copy-pasted with the same source and information on forums like Avian Avenue, and there are anecdotes of individual birds dying due to this, but not a whole lot of hard facts or research. In absence of real studies into this, I think the best thing to look at would be breeders and rescues/sanctuaries who keep multiple species closely together. The Gabriel Foundation for example says that in twenty years, they have only had one macaw develop asthma from cockatoos (or just one in "the last few years" - the text is not clear, but they only mention that one). But on forums, they act as if you ever consider keeping a South American parrot and a grey/tiel/too in the same house (not room) without a complete quarantine system, you are the worst person ever who doesn't love your birds. I get that it is serious but it's clear that not every individual macaw gets this hypersensitivity, and they don't cite sources, only the same one text over and over, then copy-pasting what other forum members have said. Again, I had never heard of this until recently. What is BirdTricks, or anyone reading this with both dusty and dust-sensitive species, doing? Myself, I want to build a parrot "house" with attached aviaries in the future, and keep both a couple of macaws, a couple of cockatoos and some other South American parrots in the building together. I already have a grey. I can't do this if it would risk the South American birds' health, but also not getting cockatoos, or making a separate room/building for the dusty birds is also drastic, so I need more information.
One of my cockatiels was TERRIFIED of finger traps. I would put finger traps on the top of the cage, and bring her close enough so she could see them. If she didn’t fly away or freak out I clicked and rewarded her. Slowly got closer. Now she is so much better, mostly my other birds would play with them, and she got way less scared. She will play with finger traps now! 🥰
Can I ask if they are some none monster screming conures? We are sharing one walls wifh naibors and I don't want sun conure they are one of the loudest birds I ever met .
I find that people that have to keep neighbors happy with minimal noise will often create screaming birds because of it. You end up so consumed with keeping them quiet all the time that you often are reinforcing the noise you don't want. So I'd say get a bird that at its noisiest, still doesn't bother the neighbors. Some small birds don't scream like the larger ones but make a constant chatter of noise. It just really depends on your environment and lifestyle but all conures CAN be loud, but most species besides the suns are definitely not as loud as they are! We've been hanging around some black capped conures that are relatively quiet but a lot of it is because their owners understand behavior and how to reinforce it properly.
thanks to us we have a sun conure and we are looking for a friend for whole family even though we know the lines of this decision and we are counting on the worst .
I reread the label of the popular pellet diet as a comparison to a similar product and not only was it corn and soy flour first, but it used to contain insect flour way back in the day for protein and brand ZU had no better ingredients than brand KT. The Bird Doc used to recommend it to get birds off of seed based diets. Lol, don't wait 20 years to check those ingredients that might slip in or out of the product
I have a question one of my budgies he is picking out his feathers and hurts himself we have changed over his food and seems to be doing better but what do you suggest to do?
Quick question about the annual bird exam. How do you make that not a traumatic experience? I know my dog never learned to not be traumatized by that. I'm pretty sure birds are less forgiving.
So you say that we should take them once in a year to the vet right? Well, what if you got it yesterday or today so how long we will need to wait? Because, it’s risky if they didn’t go to the vet when they first came to the adoption.
Hi, I was wondering if you could do a video on how you clean/what you clean with in a home/apartment that you share with birds. I know pretty much any sprays are off limits, and that scented cleaners can cause problems. I've read from a few websites that vinegar is the go to, but I don't know if there are other options I'm not seeing. I would appreciate any information. Love the videos!
I REALLY NEED YOUR HELP!! Hi Jaime, i hope i got ur attention . My rescued Indian ringneck feeds only on rice n guava. I have tried different veggies but ones she is interested once in blue moon is soaked chickpeas, sprouts, papaya, cucumber and beans. I have tried different sizes and portions. Mixed things up, but she always picks on. Most of time she even won't even eat. I m afraid i will starve him and feed him rice again. He doesnt even eat seeds. In use peanuts for treats. Please help. I would be grateful if you could make a video on changing diet. Thanks in advance
Baked chi peas is good too. Without salt. In some of her videos, she suggests mixing the food they like with new foods. Try papaya, my ringneck loves it
@@MilosAdventure Thanks for the advice but i have already tried mixing new with rice, but as i mentioned it picks away only rice. And papaya,she just nibs on it. But doesn't luv it as it does guava
Jamie, is it possible to potty train a bird? Also, do you use those backpack for birds (eg. Calltei Pak-O-Bird). Curious about your opinion on those subjects. Thanks :)
I'm not Jamie, but it's definitely possible to potty train. Usually this is done with larger birds since they go less often, but it can still be done with smaller ones.
We recently lost our budgie this past week. We’ve never had a bird bf and I didn’t realize how amazing they are. I loved him more than any dog or cat I’ve ever had! I’m heart broken and devastated. Any recommendations on how to get over him? We only had him a year... he was the best 😢
How do you work with a phobic bird. We rescued a macaw that is super angry and that hates everything and everyone that is not a child. Idk the past on this bird but im determined on being his final home and just want tips on how to tame him and make him comfortable with us
When I got my princess parrot we went to a pet store and they gave us a seed mix but told us to soak it in water overnight and add in a mix of fresh fruits and vegetables. Is that a good diet for him???
@BirdTricks Have you ever think about traductions in other langages ? I could help for french but there is a lot of videos !!! Maybe we can do something for the videos which got the most views ?
This is unrelated to video but im getting my first bird (Budgie) and was wondering how long I wait before trying to teach/get it comfortable with my hand (for step up) Thanks!
Hi, I'm buying 2 cockatiels, would you please suggest training like target training and Indoor free flight training books or something like that, please?
Part of being within my first year of owning my birds (for me) is that I know a lot of this information but I get paranoid about it anyways because I’m just not experienced yet😂
My 3 months old quaker parrot is terrified of any toys ive tried putting in his cage. Small or big- he would refuse to go even near it that i feel discouraged to leave them in- Do you think he was introduced to toys too late? :(
hello love... i'mnew too parrot world my lil guy is a green cheek conoue and we only got loc pet store food one foods we got him he wont touch i don't like feeding him his version of lucky charms any recomdations too food for northern parrot its hard for us get fresh all time cause weather. i'm looking for good dry food
Thank you very much for this video! I've just started to train my female eclectus but I wanted to ask something very important: how do you avoid being bitten on the ears? If she can see my ears, she WILL attack them. She doesn't even bite my nose, but damn, she loves seeing ears bleeding 😭 I'm wearing a hood everytime she goes on my shoulder but I want to solve the problem at its root...
I’m crossing parrot out of my pet option list as of right now 😂 I thought all they eat was nuts and seeds but yeah I forgot they eat leafy greens /fruits/insects/🥩 🦞 too
Hey I just bought a lorikeet and evertime I go near he ends up otherside of the cage. I'm scared to let out as might fly or hide somewhere in house. I guess I just need to bond so I've spent 1st few hours chilling with my bird. I noticed he scratch bottom of cage as if he trying to run away lol or get out is that normal
My budgie is afraid to come out of her cage id have to force her our a few times by taking the cage apart when cleaning it. She has gotten better about not being afraid but she has still not wanted to come out on her own

I've been into parrots for many years (17 and counting), but I only recently learned about pulmonary/respiratory hypersensitivity in macaws and conures (and possibly other South American parrots). The general concept is that these birds, apparently especially blue and gold macaws (perhaps overestimated due to how common they are, perhaps due to their nostrils being completely exposed), are sometimes oversensitive to the dust from cockatoos and greys, and can die prematurely from just sharing the room with a grey or cockatiel (not even talking multiple white cockatoos, which is a different dimension of dust).
I mostly see this copy-pasted with the same source and information on forums like Avian Avenue, and there are anecdotes of individual birds dying due to this, but not a whole lot of hard facts or research. In absence of real studies into this, I think the best thing to look at would be breeders and rescues/sanctuaries who keep multiple species closely together. The Gabriel Foundation for example says that in twenty years, they have only had one macaw develop asthma from cockatoos (or just one in "the last few years" - the text is not clear, but they only mention that one).
But on forums, they act as if you ever consider keeping a South American parrot and a grey/tiel/too in the same house (not room) without a complete quarantine system, you are the worst person ever who doesn't love your birds. I get that it is serious but it's clear that not every individual macaw gets this hypersensitivity, and they don't cite sources, only the same one text over and over, then copy-pasting what other forum members have said.
Again, I had never heard of this until recently. What is BirdTricks, or anyone reading this with both dusty and dust-sensitive species, doing?
Myself, I want to build a parrot "house" with attached aviaries in the future, and keep both a couple of macaws, a couple of cockatoos and some other South American parrots in the building together. I already have a grey. I can't do this if it would risk the South American birds' health, but also not getting cockatoos, or making a separate room/building for the dusty birds is also drastic, so I need more information.
One of my cockatiels was TERRIFIED of finger traps. I would put finger traps on the top of the cage, and bring her close enough so she could see them. If she didn’t fly away or freak out I clicked and rewarded her. Slowly got closer. Now she is so much better, mostly my other birds would play with them, and she got way less scared. She will play with finger traps now! 🥰
Can I ask if they are some none monster screming conures?
We are sharing one walls wifh naibors and I don't want sun conure they are one of the loudest birds I ever met .
I find that people that have to keep neighbors happy with minimal noise will often create screaming birds because of it. You end up so consumed with keeping them quiet all the time that you often are reinforcing the noise you don't want. So I'd say get a bird that at its noisiest, still doesn't bother the neighbors. Some small birds don't scream like the larger ones but make a constant chatter of noise. It just really depends on your environment and lifestyle but all conures CAN be loud, but most species besides the suns are definitely not as loud as they are! We've been hanging around some black capped conures that are relatively quiet but a lot of it is because their owners understand behavior and how to reinforce it properly.
thanks to us we have a sun conure and we are looking for a friend for whole family even though we know the lines of this decision and we are counting on the worst .
I'm getting a parrot soon, my mom has had one for 20 years. Im going to be building him a play gym, and he also gets a cage in my bedroom
Love your videos as always. Super informative
I reread the label of the popular pellet diet as a comparison to a similar product and not only was it corn and soy flour first, but it used to contain insect flour way back in the day for protein and brand ZU had no better ingredients than brand KT. The Bird Doc used to recommend it to get birds off of seed based diets. Lol, don't wait 20 years to check those ingredients that might slip in or out of the product
Hi love your channel and I have 27 different birds
I love hearing Bondi talk!
It is so cute to see tusa touch you with his beak
I have a question one of my budgies he is picking out his feathers and hurts himself we have changed over his food and seems to be doing better but what do you suggest to do?
What kind of macaws did you bring out? They are both so pretty!
So cute how your bird talks
Hey cutie
Is it possible you could start talking above dove care as well? you are the best channel I know about birds, and yet I can't find any dove videos...
Quick question about the annual bird exam. How do you make that not a traumatic experience? I know my dog never learned to not be traumatized by that. I'm pretty sure birds are less forgiving.
Wow so cute I am going to buy one
So you say that we should take them once in a year to the vet right? Well, what if you got it yesterday or today so how long we will need to wait? Because, it’s risky if they didn’t go to the vet when they first came to the adoption.
Hi, I was wondering if you could do a video on how you clean/what you clean with in a home/apartment that you share with birds. I know pretty much any sprays are off limits, and that scented cleaners can cause problems. I've read from a few websites that vinegar is the go to, but I don't know if there are other options I'm not seeing. I would appreciate any information. Love the videos!
I REALLY NEED YOUR HELP!!
Hi Jaime, i hope i got ur attention . My rescued Indian ringneck feeds only on rice n guava. I have tried different veggies but ones she is interested once in blue moon is soaked chickpeas, sprouts, papaya, cucumber and beans. I have tried different sizes and portions. Mixed things up, but she always picks on. Most of time she even won't even eat. I m afraid i will starve him and feed him rice again. He doesnt even eat seeds. In use peanuts for treats. Please help. I would be grateful if you could make a video on changing diet. Thanks in advance
Baked chi peas is good too. Without salt. In some of her videos, she suggests mixing the food they like with new foods. Try papaya, my ringneck loves it
@@MilosAdventure Thanks for the advice but i have already tried mixing new with rice, but as i mentioned it picks away only rice. And papaya,she just nibs on it. But doesn't luv it as it does guava
This is so true, love watching ur videos 😍😍😂
I love this its amazing and I will watch you for a long time and u are so funny. And bondi is soooooo cuteee 🥰😍
Great video, thanks 👍
Jamie, is it possible to potty train a bird? Also, do you use those backpack for birds (eg. Calltei Pak-O-Bird). Curious about your opinion on those subjects. Thanks :)
I'm not Jamie, but it's definitely possible to potty train. Usually this is done with larger birds since they go less often, but it can still be done with smaller ones.
@@lizziehn5928 Good to know, thank you!
We recently lost our budgie this past week. We’ve never had a bird bf and I didn’t realize how amazing they are. I loved him more than any dog or cat I’ve ever had! I’m heart broken and devastated. Any recommendations on how to get over him? We only had him a year... he was the best 😢
Hello Andre, how're you....?
thanks for the tips!
Today might be my lucky day they are giving parrots free but I'm trying right now to learn everything nomatter what it takes or how long
How do you work with a phobic bird. We rescued a macaw that is super angry and that hates everything and everyone that is not a child. Idk the past on this bird but im determined on being his final home and just want tips on how to tame him and make him comfortable with us
When I got my princess parrot we went to a pet store and they gave us a seed mix but told us to soak it in water overnight and add in a mix of fresh fruits and vegetables. Is that a good diet for him???
@BirdTricks Have you ever think about traductions in other langages ? I could help for french but there is a lot of videos !!! Maybe we can do something for the videos which got the most views ?
Thank you!
This is unrelated to video but im getting my first bird (Budgie) and was wondering how long I wait before trying to teach/get it comfortable with my hand (for step up) Thanks!
Regarding proper nutrition I wanted to ask if Cwties for parrots are ok in addition to fruits and vegetables?
thank you so much 🫶🏼💖💖
Hi, I'm buying 2 cockatiels, would you please suggest training like target training and Indoor free flight training books or something like that, please?
Gorgeous parrot, Bondi, or whoever.
Do African grey get along with other birds like ringneck parrots
Part of being within my first year of owning my birds (for me) is that I know a lot of this information but I get paranoid about it anyways because I’m just not experienced yet😂
My 3 months old quaker parrot is terrified of any toys ive tried putting in his cage. Small or big- he would refuse to go even near it that i feel discouraged to leave them in- Do you think he was introduced to toys too late? :(
Question: do you have recipes that I can make that both my birds and I can share? My birds prefer to eat whatever I'm eating.
Comet is such a Lil baby ❤️
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 spanish subtitles! Please put more spanish subtitles in your next videos! Thank you :)
hello love... i'mnew too parrot world my lil guy is a green cheek conoue and we only got loc pet store food one foods we got him he wont touch i don't like feeding him his version of lucky charms any recomdations too food for northern parrot its hard for us get fresh all time cause weather. i'm looking for good dry food
Thank you very much for this video! I've just started to train my female eclectus but I wanted to ask something very important: how do you avoid being bitten on the ears? If she can see my ears, she WILL attack them. She doesn't even bite my nose, but damn, she loves seeing ears bleeding 😭 I'm wearing a hood everytime she goes on my shoulder but I want to solve the problem at its root...
I’m crossing parrot out of my pet option list as of right now 😂 I thought all they eat was nuts and seeds but yeah I forgot they eat leafy greens /fruits/insects/🥩 🦞 too
Tip 2 is a good one! Thx
You guys are amazing
hey, I wanna feed crows and ravens, are peanuts okay? people say they are, is that true?
What are some examples of toy set up in a cage for a parrot. I am not sure what is “too cluttered” or “ not enough”
They should be actively playing and seeking out the toys but not having a hard time navigating the cage because of them.
can you give mem some advise about a 12 week old macaw im getting?
What type are those two macaws. They are gorgeous, I love the colours 🥰🥰
They're camelot macaw hybrids :)
Hey I just bought a lorikeet and evertime I go near he ends up otherside of the cage. I'm scared to let out as might fly or hide somewhere in house. I guess I just need to bond so I've spent 1st few hours chilling with my bird. I noticed he scratch bottom of cage as if he trying to run away lol or get out is that normal
My budgie is afraid to come out of her cage id have to force her our a few times by taking the cage apart when cleaning it. She has gotten better about not being afraid but she has still not wanted to come out on her own
I don't see any courses free or otherwise. Where exactly are they?
