Oh my goodness when she hugged lefty and he looked so into it! It's so amazing to think an "unadoptable" bird is in love with a 6 yr old girl! It's a true display of how birds are what their environment allows them to be.
Lydia, twas my favorite moment!
I didn’t mean to hit the thumbs down button. I was trying to hit the thumbs up.
Can I be Capri's voice and advocate for a minute? "Please, please,please, can I keep Lefty". It's
Magical to see them together. Well done parents, well done.
I think lefty chose his person 👀 he trust that little girl and clearly loves her ✨💜✨ I hope you guys keep him with her as his forever home 🙊
Metalchick 702 yes I hope so too!!!
I could not agree more! I know they already have a lot of birds, but he’s so good with Capri!
I hope, too, that you keep Lefty. He chose Capri and Capri loves him. It would be cruel to separate them, especially at his age.
I’m praying for that too
yup he boned with her
Capri's becoming quite the little bird whisperer. And you can see so much of both you and Dave in her.
Lefty doesn't seem aggressive at all! He's a sweetheart!
Right?!
@@BirdTricks Can she keep him? They both choose eachother, it's so adorable that Lefty trust her with his lill heart. Please please :-)
For a minute there I was thinking, 'Did the wrong bird get handed over? Where's the aggressive one that everybody was talking about? This one is a sweetheart so clearly, somebody goofed."
Lefty just needed a friend. It's hard when a bird doesn't have an established person/people to be around. I know my rescue Lovebird didn't become super lovey dovey until I spent lots of time and patience on him. I definitely felt honored when he let me scritch him for the first time 😭 I honestly think I cried a bit because I had had him for over a year at that point and while he would snuggle up under my ear to take naps, he was super freaked out by hands still.
Love seeing Lefty opening up and allowing and seeking out companionship!💕
I have a lovebird that really doesn’t like hands! He also hates chopsticks so I can’t really manage to target train him. Any tips to help him get over his fear/bond more?
@@Crazynachosyay if you wanna have him not be afraid of chopsticks, you can either put one near his cage or in his cage depending on how afraid of it he is. Treat it as a new toy and introduce it slowly. As for hands, if you can offer a sprig of millet/any treat your bird likes from your hand, gradually making the sprig shorter and shorter, that may work. For my lovebird, I put my hand on the side of his cage for about 5 minutes at a time (he lived in his cage 24/7 at that time because I wasn't super knowledgeable about birds yet--I found myself with an opportunity to get him for free from someone who didn't want another bird and had found him outside of all places, so I took him in)Anyway, his cage was his space so once he wasn't afraid of me existing around him any more, I started introducing my hands as things that brought yummy treats and didn't pose a threat. Replacing food and water in the cage also shows that hands are good.
While I definitely don't recommend leaving your bird in the cage 24/7 like I did, those are some things I did. Offer treats from your hands, do some strategic placing of chopsticks, and have patience. Your hands are bigger than him which in the wild would mean danger. He just needs to realize the big human paws offer scritches and treats :) good luck!
Kids tend to have a lot more time as adults have too many things they have to deal with. I suspect Lefty is just responding to "quantity" time (as opposed to smaller amounts of "quality" time).
I have a Quaker that is aggressive with most of my family and attacks anyone that comes to my house. He also bites me (his human) if he’s not having a good day. I believe my house is too noisy for him. We live in an apartment and my kids are musicians and i don’t have room to put him somewhere more quiet. I’ve had him for 9 years and it’s hard to think of giving him away but at the same time I don’t think it’s fair for him to be stressed.
@@kellycondoleon2453 I'm sorry you're having to face that possibility :( but it also shows how much you care for him. You can always soft-launch a rehome to a quieter house for a week or two and see if his stress improves. That way, you know if the noise is the issue he has. I wish you and your birdie good luck!
ETA: my lovebird is also a biter. He especially bites if he's trying to nap and gets startled by a sudden noise. TV time with loud action is not his favorite 😭
Also I’ll jump on the bandwagon, Capri should keep Lefty! 😏
Capri has a real gift, remember how she interacted with Chi chi.
ChiChi really opened her world to realizing she could train birds, super grateful for that! 🌼
I think she may also have the gift of healing as well .
So you know you have to keep Lefty now, right? Lefty choose Capri. Case closed.
Agreed Lefty found his girl!!!
Totally agree.
Capri is the chosen one 👑
This is an outrage
This is unfair
Sand
@@angeliparraguirre7329 huh? quakers are known for this, choosing their person
I love how Capri hugs the birds ❤️
I know it’s impossible to keep every bird /animal but little Lefty loves Capri , hope she asks to keep him lol
Hmmm... "Lefty is clearly Capri's bird." i know you meant that they've just worked out really well as part of the training... but i wonder if, come 2 1/2 more months, that doesn't turn out to be a bit prophetic? Has Capri maybe found her first bird? :P
lol, or maybe i'm just "shipping" it xD
the best part is when Capri reaches down with her lil hand and grabs Lefty in her hand and Plonked him down on the chair..Both seemed super comfortable with that.. #PLONK 17:53
How is your comment from 2 weeks ago the video was released 5 hours ago

Has Lefty found his Permanent home with Capri,, Mom - ?
It really is - a Perfect Match
chick EASTWATER yesss!!!
Ooooo I am hoping and praying that maybe y'all will let Capri have her first bird by adopting Lefty!!❤❤❤❤ It sounds like he has found his person and after loosing his first person she would be his forever person. You are doing so good Capri!! What a wonderful thing you are doing!❤❤
Bobbi Stevens I hope so too!!
Btw your daughter is very well behaved and she’s also a beautiful little girl🎀
Thank you💚
Clicker training. ;) 😂
Omg she is she so Adorable
To sum up the comment section; LET CAPRI KEEP LEFTY!!!
Lefty going to be with Capri now? You can’t take away her bird now
Lmao you right start the petitions!
Angel L I think we should stat a petitions
@@DannyDeVitoLover that link is a petition ^
She will be sad I wish to train my bird like that but I'm in Iraq
How adorable! Lefty bonded with Capri with fast...And your little girl looks so much her daddy!
Capri is turning into such a little trainer! So cute to see :)
Great job to your daughter. That is awesome. Great progress.
Quaker parrots can be very sweet and cuddly and also can be territorial around ‘their’ cages or even stands that they deem to be theirs. I have a female Quaker, named Chubbs. It took a while for her to become braver as she grew up her first year in a bird pet store. When I brought her home, she hid in the corner of her cage for about a month. She didn’t know how to step up because the pet store would pick her up to allow customers to interact with her. She also ‘aaaacked' a lot...the Quaker form of a scream. She had no interest in toys. Luckily she did have a good appetite and took right away to veggie mashes (I use the Circus Diet formula) and healthy pellets with some seed. She had been on an all seed diet. She has blossomed into a fully flighted brave bird who loves toys and her play stand and the freedom to sit and sun or take a short flight around my screened three season room or in our ‘bird room.’ She blows kisses, mimics my laugh, purrs, says good baby, and tries to say her name...in her own language...her aaack, aaaack, aaack is less as we try to replace it with uh-oh and kisses or a very exuberant goooood baaaaby!. I so much enjoyed this video. Kudos to Capri who is growing into such a lovely young girl and budding aviculturist! What a beautiful bond she is building with Lefty...truly sweet! And thank you to Bird Tricks for all of your wonderful content. Truly, you are my 'go to' resource that I can rely on for expert information...I’ve learned so much through your UA-cam videos. I look forward to watching Lefty’s training under Jamieleigh’s and Capri’s tutelage! And to grab some good hints to deal with the inevitable cage territorial trait that seems to be instinctive in Quakers. Oh, and those are forever memories for Capri and Lefty...that cherubic face of your child...priceless!
I'm hoping that Capri can keep Lefty. They are so cute together
Is she keeping lefty or is Lefty keeping her
@@angeliparraguirre7329 Both, they choose eachother, Lefty trust her with his lill heart.
Oh & you should now include your daughter in your, "about us," on your description. She earned it with these birds! 😘🤗
Even MORE proof Lefty chose his human!! 😭 Please don't send that bird back to where it came from!!! You even have an extra cage!!!! Your daughter proved she is trustworthy w/your guidance to have this bird. So proud of you two!!! 🤗
Hi jamie..
Another nice insight with lefty...
Capri really loves to get involve with lefty...
I think touche is mommy bird...
He loves to get your attention and speaks cute...
Lefty behaviour change is because of you,dave and capri...
Like mother ,daughter...
You taught her nice manners... Its great for her future...
As always your videos are best...
Thank you for sharing....🙏👍😊
i’m so proud of capri for giving lefty a little bit of confidence, she’s learning from the very best of course though! I personally have no experience with either one of these species, so i’m looking forward to seeing their progress! best of luck from my flock to yours and the project birds!
There is a whole swarm of these beautiful birds sleeping in a big tree in front of our house! I love them, they freaked all the pigeons out, so they settled elsewhere! I'm from Germany and life near cologne. Some of them broke out of a zoo and they startet to spread some years ago across the Rhine region! Cute birds!
We get them too in Southern Italy (near Bari), you hear them first and their nests are amazing, like weaved baskets high in the trees. And even though they aren't native they seem to be doing very well, as their numbers seem to be increasing naturally. 😊
And when they start flying...like a big green tsunami in the sky 😆🤩
@@mad1986ish So true!! And they can be sooo noisy! Such a fun bird to have about. 🐦
I would say Capri is so relaxed with all your birds, and Lefty is picking up on this. Most important Lefty trust Capri, and of course you and Dave. Looks like everyone is off to a really good start. Capri, you are such a great little helper with your mom and of course Lefty. Jamie, I hope you are feeling better soon. Thank you, really enjoyed the update.
It's great that your daughter has the knowledge to work with the birds. Know you are so proud of her. Best part is the birds are coming out of their "shells". Looking forward to seeing how each bird "grows" with your training.
Just proves no animal is a lost cause. 16 yr old parrot deemed unadoptable yet your little girl can pick him up and hug him. Very touching...
Like Mother, like daughter. Both Awesome Pro trainers!!!
Your daughter is amazing, love her spirit to connect with birds.
Ahhh, the feels! What a heartwarming story for both of these rescue birds. Parenting done right for sure also :D!
Seems like capri and lefty have made a real connection. Reminds me so much of your connection with Morgan!
Capri and Lefty forever. Capri is such a precious gift to our world.
That's what Lefty needed was a companion. They look so cute together.
the apple does not fall far from the tree. Looks like Capri is right there in your footsteps. It's so sweet how Lefty and Capri can form that bond
Capri is so much more mature for age than most of the kids out there. She is going to end up being a vet or is going to follow her parents in the future by helping others with their birds.
I really want a Quaker parrot, but they have recently been banned from Wisconsin. I hope, when we leave this hellish state, that we will be able to get one or two, or whoever needs to be rescued. That is including those adorable, Elmo sounding, loving Ringnecks!!
I guess this bird will stay with you forever :)
If you don't let Lefty and Capri stay together, Angels will cry.
I love the little sounds that Quakers make. It sounds like a cartoon character. Capri is already apro. She is such a little doll!
Sounds like Capri has been chosen by her first bird!😉 I would love to see her be allowed to have Lefty designated as hers, as long as you are ok with that, of course. If she decides to make working with birds her life’s work, the bird world will be very lucky indeed. One day we will see her videos, breaking down bird behavior and helping bird parents all over the world. Capri, the bird whisperer!
Kids are amazing. They know so much more and have so much more to offer than adults give them credit for.
I know this is off topic for touche and lefty but I would love to see you and/or Dave work with a bird of prey and see the difference of how to work with a falcon, eagle or hawk vs one of your parrots.
I'd have a hard time with those types of food rewards 😬
@@BirdTricks maybe have a professional in falconry give the rewards 😂 I know I would be terrified myself
We rescued our cockatoo from a downright condemnable house a few months ago. He is the sweetest bird I’ve ever met. He will go to ANYBODY and very rarely bites (very lightly as a warning) love him to pieces and we have an unbreakable bond. Capri and lefty should be able to have that bond too!!
Hey, you also should give yourself and your husband some credit. You are raising your kid right! She's amazing already. She's empathic so she is naturally an animal lover, she's patient (or, at least more patient than any other six-year-old that I ever knew), she's intuitive, she's actively helping you and not being lazy at all about the lifestyle (supporting you, picking up your slack when you were not feeling well) or a burden to what you are building your career into. She's an awesome kid and that can be contributed to you two, with the animals in support roles in teaching.
I think it awesome how your so involved in being a trainer etc., yet you still are a very involved mom and include your daughter and show her attention as well. Good job mom!
aww! ❤❤ she so deserves to get Lefty. Then again Capri could help with so many more birds if she didn't...
Agreed. 💚
Capri is cute! The Quaker loves her and I think she would love to keep him.
My Ringneck does not like men but she loves me.
Way to go Capri!!!!
There is a innocence in children that soothes animals
What an incredibly sweet video. I am so glad things are going so well with the new little guys. Them hanging out with Capri is really cute.
i recently bought a blue quaker and i must admit out of all the birds i have had and trained the quaker is the most lovable and cuddly
Lefty was like I chose you little human
animals definitely pick up on people’s energies!! they just know when the person loves them!
I loved watching Capri with Lefty. Please consider keeping Lefty for Capri.
Capri is going to be an amazing trainer in a few years!
Capri looks just like her daddy!! What a cutie! How could she possibly grow up in your house and NOT love birds? Impossible! I’m glad she’s gotten to feel what it’s like to be a birds special person. It’s pretty awesome! Enjoy!
The bond between Capri and Leftie is so beautiful to watch. My granddaughter some years back had an amazing bond with my ringneck
Capri and Lefty were made for each other. He needs his chosen person.
I LOVED this video! It made my heart so big, and warm seeing Capri with Lefty, and Touché, and I do believe Lefty has chosen Capri, GREAT JOB Capri!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I just love Quaker parrots, they’re so cute and funny 😊
Way to go, Capri! It's so awesome to see kids step out and take initiative!
I had a Quaker parrot I absolutely loved him,unfortunately when my daughter was born he was very interested in her eyes so I had to get did of him:( I miss him to this day!! You're daughter is really doing awesome!!
His feathers are already looking so much better! And when you said quarantine I was like wait when was this video lol 2020
Nice to see you looking better, yes, you have to keep Lefty! Capri is his human for sure 💕
Your daughter with Lefty is the cutest thing.
However good you are with the birds, I'm happy to see how good you are with your daughter. If I had walked in front of camera, the audience would have seen my mom blow a gasket and come after me!
Instead, you involve her in what you're doing to the capacity that she's capable. And, having you and Dave to learn from, it sounds like she's becoming quite capable of not only helping you, but helping the birds also.
Does Capri know how many of us are rooting for her getting her first bird of her own ... Lefty ...
Capri and Lefty are too adorable together 😍 my mouth hurts from smiling so much.
Capri is a bird training prodigy!
What a huge, wonderful surprise that Lefty is doing so well. There’s always hope for “impossible “ birds. 🕊
This reminds me so much of our parrot and how she chose our little girl. My daughter would spend so much time with her, taking her outside for walks, playing with her. She was a little older than your daughter, maybe a couple of years older. Many years have gone by, and now my daughter is in her mid twenties. She lives four hours away. But, when she comes home to visit our parrot goes CRAZY! She's so excited and happy to see her. She also gets excited when she hears us skyping with my daughter. She loves us just fine, but clearly has a favorite. Thanks for the video.
This actually made me cry a little. This reminds me so much of me and my Quaker. I was around the same age as your daughter when i had a bird.
I hope you're aware just how completely amazing and awesome Capri is? Not only is she just 6 years old but she has taken on board so much of you're training etiquette and is thriving! Honestly, Im amazed how much respect and love she has for these birds...thanks so much for sharing. 😁😁😁
She gets horse lessons each week and her trainer just told me that working with Capri is completely different than other kids because she thinks, "What did I do to miscommunicate to the horse, so that it did _____ instead of _____?" while other kids are like "It's mean! It's not listening to me!" and I thought that was just sooooo cool. 🥰
@@BirdTricks ... that is amazing. And she's only young! Imagine what she'll be like in even just a year's time! Well done to you and Dave for being good parents to both humans and birds!
Keep Lefty! They have a bond. So sweet!
Capri will be the ultimate bird whisperer. 👍 well done Capri.
That was beautiful, honest and real. Love Capri's growing relationship with Lefty, and your attitude to the process. Maybe take the fact that you've been sick as a positive that it freed Capri up to learn and engage with these guys. Perhaps it was meant to be. Glad you've got the support to allow this work to happen. All the best with the ongoing work with them, it seems very natural. Xx
Thank you 💚
OMG, that girl is every mom's wish as a daughter. We see so many young kids of Capri's age nowadays, spoiled and so egocentric that she is a breath of fresh air Good job on your girl both of you. Make her read these posts.
My daughter is 7 and really wants to see more videos of your daughter playing with her new buddy
Why could she not have him for life ?! Hope he is well with his new family. ❤
Yes!! Lefty and Touche, that is adorable that your daughter got so close with Lefty
This is the sweetest thing I've ever seen. I just wanna squeeze em both up tight. I tried to tell people that kindness, sweetness, loving & caring relationship's still exist this day and time. It just may come at a bit of a surprise to some folks when it's in the form of a parrot & a 6yr old little girl but if you ask me it's just still more angels in disguise.
Your daughter is so so sweet with those birds what a wonderful way for her to enjoy birds up close I loved birds when I was little I finally got a cockatiel love her
I love Quakers!
your Daughter seems to be a natural. such a cutie.
OH MY GOSH!! Your daughter is the best!
I really learned to like this bird species because where i go to school here in Germany we have wild colonies of Quakers living there for about 50 years now. I love watching them through the window
Awww this is the sweetest update ever!
Being picked by a quaker parrot is the most precious thing ever. I use to snuggle with mine. They are very sweet birds.
Lefty just loves Capri so much 🥰🥰🥰
Capri is so smart and she seems to have a gift. Oh an I love her name.
That little girl and that little bird have a very special bond, you better not break it :P
Oh I loved this vlog! Capri is a natural with birds! You and Dave have done a great job of teaching her how to be respectful and kind to birds. You can clearly see the bond she has with Lefty. Capri is just a beautiful doll. Love her!
Capri is such a natural! Incredible!
you can see that lefty is trusting your daughter very much , i would say left has chosen its new owner already
Capri is amazing, and you've done a great job of teaching her.
Just beautiful seeing your daughter's precious gentleness as she handles birds! ❤
I mean the little girl is soo cute and adorable, how could anyone not like her, especially a mean ol bird xD.... I think that is sooo cool... These kids have a great mom, I wish my mom was like this lady when I was growing up.
i am THIS close to tears ugh this is so TOUCHING
