  • Smokey takes fetching and basketball to a whole new level! Birds have very complex behaviors and unless we begin to start seeing them as birds rather than as dogs or human toddlers, we will never truly understand their behavior.

      My dad's African Grey was born a month later than I was. He made the horrible mistake of buying the bird at 2 weeks old. However he did learn more about taking care about a parrot. There is footage of that 10 month old parrot feeding me when I were young. Haha. The best part is that that African Grey may as well outlive me too. It's not probable, but it is possible.

    I just I have to say that I love your tips and advice and really appreciate your channel. I'm part of a lot of bird forums and am a cockatiel owner myself. I can't tell you how many posts I see on forums from grey owners specifically or from other large bird owners who lament that their bird isn't cuddly or affectionate and "hates" them. I feel so comfortable linking your channel to them for tips because you really focus first and foremost on your bird's comfort level and emotional wellbeing, which is something a lot of these owners aren't paying as much attention to as they should. After watching your videos, they all say the same thing- that they didn't realize they were taking it too fast and pushing their bird too hard to bond with them. A few weeks or months later, they usually check in and say that they've made so much more progress with their bird taking it slow and steady and working at the bird's pace, and I even see them recommending your channel to other bird owners. In my opinion, there's no such thing as a "problem bird", only such a thing as a "problem owner". Thank you for shining light on these beautiful, amazing creatures and the realities that living with them entail. Thank you for helping frustrated bird owners change their perspective and grow better in their relationship with their bird. You're an asset to the community whether you realize it or not, and we are forever grateful.
