Parrot Free Flight Journey || Mikey The Macaw

- Опубліковано 4 лип 2018
- Mikey’s Free Flight journey is by no means a tutorial on parrot free flying or on how to free flight train your bird. Many points on what this takes were missed out for the sake of a shorter video. If you watch this then and try repeat these steps and throw your bird into a field, you will most probably loose it. Most methods shown on this video, like flying on a line or harness and flying in small parks with distractions are strongly advised against in the world of real free flight training and is not recommended.
Flight training 2:04 - 7:50
Free flights 7:52 - 13:29
We are still not 100% how or why this happened so please do not ask us how to free fly your bird, we don’t know... lols
Chris biro offers a free flight course called Liberty wings, even though we didn’t learn from him, Caleb who helped us, was a student of his.

The look of pride in his eyes when he lands❤️
Haha I know, he knew he did well
I noticed that too Sherwyn! He is amazing!!
I’m jealous of those kids at that park! What a great community. That’s so absolutely wonderful what you’ve done for Mikey. Top notch pet care!!
Lily A. Haha, those kids love it, and it saves us running with him haha.
Lily A3321. and
Lily You are such a beautiful little rattie! Give it kisses from me, a fellow rattie lover forever!
I live In new Zealand 😁
Yay. We love when kiwis stop by
'He even had his own flock of children'😂😂
Haha he actually does
Mikey The Macaw & Friends I wanted to message you and I know you probably won’t see this but if you do congratulations on being such a good parrot owner it’s lovely to see them being as close to wild as we can provide are captive birds
Thank you for giving Mikey such a great life.
It makes us happy seeing him happy.

Im having tears of joy. This is how animals and especially birds should be treated. Thank you for being such great "parents" wish you all the best!
Stephanie S Awww thanks so much. We are so proud on how well he has done.
Stephanie S don’t ya mean parronts?

No parentheses needed. They are amazing parents
What a wonderful couple & of course darling Mikey. You are so blessed, words fail me. Too beautiful, absolutely awesome!!❤
Doing yoga in the park: Sunddely, a
wild Macaw appears!
Also, great narration!!!
Isabela Neves Haha totally right. And thank you.
I'm so proud of him he's achieved so much I just wanna give him a cuddle. Well done again to all three of you x
Awww thanks, and thanks again for your help.
Thx
This makes me think of all the lost birds who could have come home if their owners taught them to fly :(
This is so true, with Mikey having these skills now, the chances of him getting lost of not being able to fly back is so so small, not everyone needs to free fly but teaching birds these skills is so essential
Not just come home, but _survive_ as pet birds that fly away will all die in a short time if they aren't rescued by someone.
JAK so true. They just don’t have the skills to survive. It’s really sad.
JAK so, my bird might have died? If flew off one day, onto a tree very closer to my house. And could not return. In attempt to rescue it, it flies from the tree to the next tree. Now I don't even know where it is now.
Mikey The Macaw & Friends Very sad indeed.
I love watching Mikey’s progress, I fell in love with a blue & gold macaw called Casper age 3 and a half when we bought him from someone at our local pet shop in 2016. Such a beautiful bird in a cage all day was so sad and whilst it caused a few creeping sessions with my partner to let me get him, it was all worth it. The first 6 months were filled with temper tantrums from Casper and my arms looked like battle zones with bite bruises but it was all worth it! I was almost at my wits end, it was 4am and I was trying to get Casper in his cage for the night and he point blank refused, I slumped in my chair and started to cry not noticing that Casper had come to sit next to me until I heard the words”I Love You” I know we have a hard job ahead but we are macaw & human forever!
Awww what a sweet story, yup all birds are a massive job, so much more work that you would expect but they are so rewarding it’s all so worth it.
Ouch.... RIGHT IN THE FEELS
Poorcaline awwww this is so sweet
How did it go with casper
awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
You must be extremely proud of how far Mikey come
sol shade We really are, there were times we were going to give up, (on the free flying, not mikey) but he clicked, best thing we have done.
Mikey is one happy and beautiful bird! ☺️💙💙💙
We do our best to keep him as happy as we can.
Youre an awesome owner!
This should be a kids book! So sweet and happy!
Haha maybe we can make one
actually honestly not a bad idea. could teach kids how to treat pets and the whole thing has basically already been written. Please let me know if you are looking for an illustrator
Ravioliboi Haha maybe one day. Thank you for the offer.
@@MikeyTheMacaw If you did, I would so buy it for my little sister.
Pretty bird, good life,very lucky bird to have you. I'm glad you guys take good care of him right, sadly it's not something you see very day
Thanks so much. Well that’s why we made this video, to show people it is achievable, it wasn’t easy, and it’s definitely not fun waiting under trees for hours but it’s so worth it and so rewarding.
Your devotion to Mikey is plain to see, you humans are awesome owners! It's so touching when you witness such amazing care like this that you provide Mikey with, he's a lucky bird to have a wonderful life with you both. Beautiful story! ❤️
Awwww thanks so much. This was a lot of work but so rewarding. We are so proud on how well he did.
Is it weird that I cried when he started doing his own free flights successfully 😭😭 because I did. He’s not even my bird but I’m so damn proud of him 😭❤️
Hahaha awww, we are so proud on how well he did too.
😢
I did too 😭😭😭👏🏼❤️
I’m 41 weeks pregnant and entirely too emotional. This made me cry. So awesome. 😭💕 he is beautiful.
Alexis Starnes Awww thanks so much. We are so proud on how well he did.
Hope it goes well and the baby/babies are healthy
Alisha Nasir everything went perfect! Baby boy is 2 months old and healthy
@@alexisdear594 OMG congrats so happy
Best comment ever! Congrats on the kid! Make sure u teach him how to fly ;)
Wow! As hilarious as the narration voice is, this video moved me to tears! What a journey! I have a new baby African Grey that I intend on free-flying. I've free-flight trained birds like mynas and starlings, but this will be my first time free-flying a parrot. This video was amazing, eye-opening, and inspiring! SUBSCRIBED! BTW - I love MIKEY's name! LOL! #SpeedoGuy
MIKEY BUSTOS VLOGS Awww thanks so much dude. Appreciate the kind words, we are so proud on how well he did. We wish you the best of luck with your baby grey, they are such beautiful birds. Haha yes, looks like all Mikey’s are great haha. Thanks again for stopping by.
thats cool
It's Mikey talking to himself again -_-
Hey I watch ants canada
This was one of the best videos I've ever seen. I teared up watching him fly with everyone.He is so smart and seems so happy. Great narrator. Cool story!
Awww thanks, he did so well.
Awwww, what a lovely macaw Mikey is. He's grown so much.
May he be safe and happy in his free flight journey. :)
He really has grown, thanks for watching.
Beautiful! I would totally watch 1hr of mikey freeflying😂😂😂
Maybe that could be the next video...
That narration is everything 😁 Mikey is very lucky to be able to live how he was meant to live, flying free😊
Mari Anna Haha Thanks. Glad you enjoyed the vid.
I know nothing about parrots nor have any plans of owning one. Still I watch every video of yours like my life depends on it.
But seriously great job keep doing what you do
sini h Same! I live vicariously through them and Marlene McCohen!😂
Haha amazing. So glad you enjoy the vids.
This was very inspirational and well narrated!!! Fly Free Mikey!!!
joni garbauskas Thanks, was a lot of fun to make, hopefully more people don’t think Free Flight is impossible, it’s definitely not easy, but very achievable
Yay Mikey!!! Congratulations!
Lily A. thank you. It’s all very exciting.
I'M CRYINB this is too beautiful
As always mad jealous or everyone in the video haha :)
Also that last comment made me feel SUPER GUILTY HA
mmelanoma Haha what comment, and thank you, maybe one day you can be in a Mikey video.
Im not crying somethings in both my eyes!
That made me so happy...crying tears of joy here! I am so happy for you and so happy for Mikey
Kire Moonchild awww thanks so much. We are very happy with him. He did so well
Now, this is how every bird owner should be.
The Love they have for Mikey trumps over anything and everything.
This is Absolutely Beautiful. 💛
Missy Citty He is a very special bird and deserves every bit of love we can give.
@@MikeyTheMacaw
I do not doubt that for a second. 😊💙
You are all just amazing and beautiful. 💜
Beautiful video! Well edited and so happy for Mikey. I would live to free fly my Indian Ringneck but so afraid to loose her. Mikey must be so happy.
Love of Pets Thank you, it all takes time and one day they click and just know what to do. We are so proud of how well Mikey has done.
I have a Indian ring neck To! I think he’s 1 month old.
I’ve heard of people flying their birds with harnesses but with a extremely long leash , this is what I’m hopefully going to be able to do with my kak kayso
This brought me to tears!!!!! I want this for my birds! SO BEAUTIFUL 😍😍
Awww thanks. Glad you enjoyed the vid.
Amazing how much work you have done to make your bird happy. I admire your work.
Awww thanks. We are so proud on how well he did.
This video is absouletly beautiful. After watching this video, there's tear of happenies in my eyes.
So good to know that there's such warm-hearted person like you exists.
Have a happy days with Mikey 🐦💕
hw plant Awww thanks. We just want the best life for him and are so proud of how well he did.
Omg..I'm crying..you guys are amazing for what you have done for your beautiful bird. No bird should ever be caged. To see Mikey flying round free is truly an amazing thing.
The Dearloves We are so proud on how well he has done.
This just made my heart swell with love and pride!! Well Done on all the training! To see a bird that happy is something else. Just a joy to watch!
He did so well right. Still soaring the skies daily.
dude I LOVE THIS CHANNEL!!!! even though I would never own a macaw, I really really enjoy watching how devoted you guys are to your parrot
Mery VdeM Aww thanks so much. Yea don’t get a macaw haha, it’s much easier just watching them online. Thanks so much for the kind words, we love Mikey dearly.
I cried. Such a beautiful boy. And beautiful parents. Absolutely meant to fly. Gorgeous in flight. So brave. Thank you for doing this.
Thank you. He did so well right.
Congrats Mikey! Awesome video edit as well, Was captivated & could feel the emotion of every second of his journey. The love & care you provide Mikey is very apparent. You got a subscriber with this one.
Awww thanks for such a lovely comment. We are so proud on how well he did. It was a lot of work but it’s so rewarding.
I am a vegan. And I never thought that bird keeping can be ethicaly correct. But this is amazing, and I think that this is the mindset that all animal lover should adopt. Not to own these beautiful creatures but to help them to live a happy and complete life. You are my heroes❤
Jana Shabes Awww what a lovely comment. Thank you very much. We really enjoy giving Mikey the best life we can, sometimes it’s not easy but it really is so so rewarding.
I'm a meat eater and I love the way you respect and handle your amazing bird.
Nick N Haha. Thanks.
That's one happy bird! Thank you for making him feel that way
Roman Soldier We do our best to give him the best life we can.
I love this so much. I work in an outdoor place right next to a HUGE zoo that holds free-flight shows with their macaws in summer. They fly so far away from the zoo that we can see them fly all over our property all the time, and it's a beautiful sight!
This is amazing! ☺ You are amazing for making this possible for him and taking such good care of this gorgeous little creature. They are so beautiful when they are flying... I get teary-eyed every time I see them... So touching. So beautiful. Thanks for sharing this journey!
Go Mikey! ☺
Aww thanks. It wasn’t easy but so worth it. We are so proud on how well he did.
What a hilarious narration . Well done Mikey i' m proud of you & the humans around u 😆😆😆😅😅😅😂😂 .Congrats to u guys it' s amazing as always. I almost cried of joy after watching this video . Keep it up , ❤❤ u all . Nimal & beautiful Claire u r just amazing guys 👍👍👍👌👌
Awww thanks again. We are so proud on how well Mikey has done and how far he has come. Thanks again for watching.
I think Claire dances beautifully but Mikey really got the moves
Haha yup, Mikey is the def a better dancer haha
Mickey is a Free Flighter, sounds like some cool warrior class...
The video really showed how everything can be overcome even if it isn't the ideal situation, Mickey and his owner trained to fly when they have less than optimal conditions and they made it. It's the same with so many of us, we are all from less than optimal backgrounds yet we made it to where we were.
Birds are truly such a unique gift, it's really the impossible made possible. Since we have so little information of them and their ability to fly with companions, we deem it impossible but there are so many of these free flighters out there in the world, and no one may know about them, but they are putting their all with their birds and reaching up to the skies. If you give your all, the impossible will be made possible.
With much love...
Aww such a lovely comment. It wasn’t easy but it’s the best thing we have done.
nothing melts my heart than a free animal,doing what they are supposed to do. Fly high Mikey! you have great people taking great care of you.. Love from Philippines
Awww thanks. We are so proud on how well he did.
Narrator: Pick a flower if he wanted 😌
Me: that’s so wholesome 😂❤️
Haha awwww he does love his flowers.
So beautiful. Well done Mikey's people.
Spacey Chapman Thank you, we are very happy with him
Awesome video! I'm really glad you made the longer version. Mikey looks so happy, and I hope you guys have decades to have fun together. Congratulations!
NeutralGenericUser Awww thanks. So glad you liked it. He really did so well
I cried so hard when I saw his happy Mikey was on his first flight. It was really sweet to watch. I am so happy for you guys you are really awesome bird parents and Mikey is the cutest thing I ever saw. Mikey and Jinxy are my two favorite macaws.
Awww Mikey i'm so proud of you and your humans 😉
Kath Linke Awww thanks.
Aw I love this video so adorable and cute
Melody Mackey Thanks, was a lot of work to make this happen but so happy we did it
Omg I can’t believe you replied 😮 yay 😁
Good job Mikey. I'm glad u did it and so happy for u and I'm glad that u did. Now u are hope for other macaws that had trouble getting into free flight. U did it and u earned every so gle moment.
best macaw channel .i just did my first free fly in the garden .learnt alot from you guys .keep up the good work
I wouldn't recommend Mikey to land on the floor. It's dangerous and if he's flying in a park Dogs can catch and maul him. My bird is not allowed to land on the ground outside during free fly. Other than that congratulations Mikey! ;)
Carolin von Petzholdt Hi Caroline, thanks for the congates, Mikey did so well. , So he has only landed on the floor once, in over 60 flight sessions, in saying this, as bad as it is, he loves his dogs lol, he loves swooping on them and enjoys the chase of them knowing he has the gift of hight to escape. Landing on the ground isn’t a concern for us as he has nearly never done it, but if you have tips for keeping him from swooping on dogs for the chase, that would be much appreciated.
Mikey The Macaw & Friends if you watch my video from yesterday you will see that my bird HOPE swoops at that pit bull dog.
Which is so dangerous because another free flyer I know got his bird killed during free flying in a park by a husky.
We love dogs but Dogs are wild at heart and a dangerous treat for our free flying birds.
Some dogs are nice. But not all!
In our park people walk their Dogs off leash and Hope flys so low.
Once he nearly got mauled. (Scary moment for me) at the beginning i though it was fun for Hope to fly and chase after Dogs.
But now it’s a big NO NO!
Yesterday when he did it I put him in his harness and he was done with flying for the day.
Being your bird trainer and Dad you need to be strict with Mikey and don’t let him do everything he wants to do.
If he swoops a dog his free flying privileges is over.
You need to control the situation.
Hope is not allowed to walk on the ground outside ever!
He’s also not allowed to land on strangers and other people.
I had 3 incident where people in the park thought he was lost and wanted to take him.
But you guys are doing fantastic! I’m always thrilled to see other new free flyers!
FF is hard work and a lifestyle.
If looks like you are putting all your heart and time and energy into Mikey and that is beautiful ❤️❤️❤️ I love watching your videos.
Keep it up. Fly him daily and he will be a strong free flyer.
You can join my free flight group on Facebook @usa free flight parrot club.
We do see what your saying but it’s also about positive reenforcement to show them what’s right instead of negative. Not saying this will happen but if you take hope him every time he swoops in a dog, he will think “hey when I’m tired and want to go home, all I have to do is fly on that dog” we learnt this with Mikey flying on our tv, everytime he did it, we took him to his room, now when he’s tired he flys to the tv, so that method of training would probably not be something we would risk.
I have little parrot.but he was one years old when i got him do its hurd to trust me for him . Im trying and last he step up on my hand and i want he to know how to come back when he flies but he always landing others thing not my hand . Im worried. He is Curling Parrot named Chiko and can he do it ?
A&T. Slime Have you tried calling him with no other objects around for him no land on?
Oh god them flying over those fields made me so nervous. I can't tell you how many times I've seen a snake jump up and snatch a bird flying over a feild, I'm from the US in the south though so I don't know if this is as a big of a problem in other places.
We are in England, no snakes there so it’s pretty safe.
@@MikeyTheMacaw I believe there is one snake species in England, but is very shy and small (hence why lots of people don't know they are even there) compared to other snakes so it won't be a problem.
Gordon Ramsay's chin oh wow, never seen it but will keep an eye out. We usually fly at populated parks so I don’t think they will be there
Cottonmouths would, I remember that from living in Georgia. I don't think any of the snakes in Iowa would care, though.
Uk has the adder but I don’t know if they hunt birds in flight.
Such a gorgeous, heart warming video! I teared up a little! I love birds so much and seeing how happy they are when they can free fly is priceless. So proud of Mikey! ❤
Peach Awww thanks so much. We are so proud on how well he did.
Go Mighty Mikey! What an amazing personality. Love that he enjoys kids so much ... they have the energy to run and run! Very well done filming and narration. Keep on videoing and I'll keep on watching and sharing!
NA suzy Q Aww thanks. Glad you enjoyed the vid. And yes, we are so happy those kids are their, we definitely couldn’t be running like that daily haha
I love BIRDS
Georgia Cope Yay. So do we.
I'm late. But I love this! Why would you clip your birds wings, when you can train your bird to this instead! 👍👍😭😭💗💗❤️❤️
Gia 102 Thanks for watching. And omg we know right. It’s so frustrating.
We have a quaker parrot and your videos truly inspire us as parents. I just sat here cheering Mikey on like I was there. Your videos are truly a teaching tool. We are so happy for Mikey and we hope Mia is doing well too. Congratulations to you all for being blessed with 2 gorgeous Macaws that love you with their entire being. We have learned so much as birdie parents from your videos and appreciate you sharing your experience. ❤️
Renee Pitts Awww thanks so much. We do love them both dearly and love giving them the best life we can. It makes us so happy that you enjoy the videos and also have learnt stuff from us, give your Quaker a little cuddle from us. Thanks again.
I love your commentary and your love for Mikey. I wanted one but as a full time nursing student and working part time I would not be able to care for one like you do. I will enjoy from afar by watching your channel! Thank you for sharing! ❤️
Awww thanks. Hopefully this channel gives you the fix you need.
why am i crying
Amber Moon Awww don’t cry
Mikey The Macaw & Friends I'm just so proud XD
Amber Moon so are we
Amber Moon me too Mikey did it
Ah here come the tears
Crispy Corn Haha oh no, sorry...
Why does Mikey’s success make me so happy? Love how good you guys have helped him learn to be independent!
Michele White We are so proud of him too. He did so well.
Mikey's having the best life with you all
What an amazing achievement ..you both have gave your birds ... I was brought up with parrots all my childhood now in my 50s maybe one day I will return to my love of parrots once again ... thankyou for sharing your passion for your birds ...
This is a wonderful video. Thank you for being so dedicated to him. He obviously loves you as you love him. ❤
I have tears of joy running down my face for Mikey! He is absolutely beautiful and is so lucky to have a mom and dad who love him so much! He is incredible!
Lori W We are all so proud of him
I love how enthusiastic you are narrating this, love the video, wish you and Mikey the very best! 👍
Haha thanks, it was a fun one to make, appreciate the kind words.
This is beautiful to hearts, I can understand how happy you must be when he flew freely and that warms my heart, I have two wonderful cockatiels which I had for two years, one’s trained and the other was abused from other people which made him afraid of humans, but I am working on it!, but seeing Mikey here gave me some ideas on training my cockatiels so I give you my thanks.
Mojaster Awww thanks, so happy we could help with ideas. We are so proud on how well he did.
Wonderful tale! So well narrated! Mickey has got himself some awesome humans there ( as you say!!)
Freedom (hence free-flying) is what life is all about !
So good of you! You worked hard and kept at it. A labor of love!
Love this! Lots of hard work, training and learning with every flight! Fantastic owners, well done! 💕 Awesome content guys! Can’t wait to watch more of Mikey!
Awww thanks. It was a lot of work but we got there, we are so proud of him and it’s so great to see.
Wow this video made me so happy I cried. Thank you so much for sharing Mikeys journey, you two are such wonderful bird parents!!! Please keep posting videos we love to follow along your journey and support you. Lots of love from canada.
lemon Awww thanks so much. This was a lot of work but so rewarding. We will try to keep the content flowing. Thanks again.
Thank you! And thanks Mikey!
Great to see Mikey out and enjoying a free flighted life style! Teaching him skills like this will set him up for life
Yup, no more tree sleep overs for Mikey haha
I loved this story. It was so heartwarming. Thank you for sharing and for loving him so much to let him have such a beautiful life.
He did so well right. It’s the best thing we have done.
Hi dear! This video was absolutely beautiful. Well done Mikey, and well done to you both for training and production! It’s videos like these that help people see what majestic creatures parrots really are; not just a pretty bird to sit in your living room as decor or bragging rights. Taking on a parrot (especially a Macaw!) is like committing to a child for the rest of your life, and it seriously warms my heart to see how hard you two have worked to give him the best and happiest life he could ever dream of. Seriously, hats off to you both!!
One tiny thing I saw though, and I’m sure you know so please know I’m not trying to speak down to you-this I guess is mostly for people watching who don’t know much about bird law. Stroking or rubbing or petting a bird anywhere but his head and neck is an intimate act in bird language: only their mates touch them there (back, under wings, etc). It’s so hard to resist petting a bird from head to tail (especially with all their soft feathers!) but continually stroking or touching a bird anywhere other than his neck and head will lead to hormonal behavior...which not only sexually frustrates your bird emotionally but can then cause them to lash out and bite, become more territorial of the person who is petting them the most (who they now view as their partner), and be more difficult to handle in general. It’s a bad position for you to be in and it’s a bad position for your bird to be in. Obviously the last thing anyone would want to do is hurt their bird and cause them to feel frustrated in a way that can’t really be fixed!
Like I said, I’m sure you guys are already fully aware of bird hormones and all the (sometimes weird, like blowing air in their face) sexual triggers that can cause a bird to become stimulated. I just saw in the video a couple times where Mikey was stroked head to tail in celebration and I wanted to point out to anyone watching that while I totally get the almost instinct to reach out and pet him as we are conditioned to do with dogs and cats, it’s a totally different meaning for the birbs!
Keep on keepin on, I look forward to more videos!!
Hey. Thanks so much for the comment yes we are aware of this and very rarely stroke him on his back. Thanks for putting this out there
this is the best thing i’ve seen in my entire life. i’m so proud of Mikey and you.
Awwww thanks so much. We are so proud on how well he did.
I love what you’ve accomplished with Mikey and the great bond you have. There’s nothing like it when a Macaw bonds with their human. I cherish my Blue and Gold Macaw. Please be careful when birds of prey are near.
diane montuori Thanks. Yea of course, we always keep an eye on the sky now, Mikey always sees them before us though haha
The video brought a tear to my eye while the kids were running with your bird. That's awesome to see some good things happening in the world. Keep it up my friend!!
Aww thanks.
Absolutely wonderful job with Mickey and one of the best videos I’ve ever seen. Really really enjoyed it. Thank you 😁
Jeffrey Vasquez Awww thanks so much, glad you enjoyed it.
Beautiful,you are one of the chilled people ever and the best macaw owners.im so happy for you and mikey.😁
I wish I could give a thousand likes. What a beautiful, touching and inspirational video. I admire your commitment and humanity.
Arthur Djahani Aww thanks so much. It was totally worth it.
Thank you for this amazing video. Watching this gave me a lot of joy. The dedication you show, teaching him to fly is awesome. Thank you for that. Until now I had no idea there are parrot free flight groups, that's how it should always be, clipping appears even more cruel after watching this. Keep on taking such great care, so others like I with less time and patience can still enjoy being a part of this without having a unhappy parrot at home.
Awww thanks so much, really appreciate your comment, free flight is so important for birds and we are so happy we discovered it and there are so many people that want to achieve it, not enough but in time hopefully clipping comes to a complete end
That is so awesome to watch! When I was in Bolivia, I saw whole flocks of Macaws come in to roost for the night (and scream us to sleep....) and they were so beautiful. It's wonderful that you decided to stay so dedicated.
maarakailet1 Awww we would love to see that. Of course. We want to give him the best life we can.
Why am I crying??! 😂😂😭😭 Mikey is so beautiful and your bond with him is absolutley amazing 💕
He did so well here.
Wow, just wow. Best video I've ever seen on youtube. What a stunning, clever Parrot!!!
So beautiful when they free-fly. Just amazing!!
This is phenomenal... all that hard work you put in certainly paid off, and you deserve every ounce of happiness that you bring each other
James W Awww thanks. The 4.5 months seemed like forever throughout training, we are so happy and proud of him on how well he did and every day he gets better and better. Thanks again.
Wow. You guys are so dedicated to his proper care. I don't normally approve of birds as pets, but he is clearly a very happy guy who has a fulfilled life.
Awww thanks. The least we can do is our best to give him the best life we can.
Wow. Lots of love and hard work with Mikey's family and Mikey The Macaw for working diligently. Respect for all this love for Mikey The Macaw. 😁
Thank You Awww thanks so much. We are so proud on how well he did.
This is amazing! He is sooooo happy ❤❤❤ love this! You guys did an amazing job and now other parrot trainers will see your videos and think oh darn they are experts just like u did in the beginning! 😂❤
Haha thanks. Yea we think that now, do people with birds who don’t free fly think we are pros haha, it took a lot of work, but it’s so rewarding.
This video was beautifully made and done with such heartfelt enthusiasm. I love it. Thank you so much for sharing Mikey’s journey with us. I couldn’t help but feel so much pride for him and I kept saying out loud, “oh how cute! Look at him! He’s such a sweet boy.” And no one is in the room with me lol!
SurferGirl Haha awww. Glad you really enjoyed the video.
Mikey is lucky to be with these owners. This video had me crying tears of happiness. Congrats Mikey and your wonderful owners❤❤❤❤
We do our best to keep them happy.
You two are amazing parents to your birds and I really enjoy your videos!
Aww thanks. We do our best to keep them happy.
I absolutely love the effort you put in!!!
Illumnia2012 Awww thanks. It was all worth it. We are so proud on how well he did and is still doing daily.
Magnificent video and beautiful macaw! Love the narration as well!
MD64 Aww Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it.
This video warmed my ❤️ what an amazing bird Mikey is!
Wow that was such a wonderful video and i had tears in my eyes beacause it was so beautiful to see how hard you worked for your bird so he can fly free in these Parks
Svea Ehlert Awww thanks so much, it wasn’t easy but the best thing we did. We are so proud on how well Mikey did.
I don’t even have words to explain how happy and proud I am for Mikey and the owners!!!!! Well done 👍 ❤️
EvePlayz MSP awww thanks. We are still so proud of how well he has done.
I love all of your videos so much. My husband and I used to have a really negative view of bird owners. We imagined unhappy birds in cramped cages with clipped wings. I love birds and hope to have one someday and seeing your videos has helped both of us see that birds can be INCREDIBLY happy with their homes in captivity and has inspired me to the type of bird parent I want to be! Thanks for sharing your journey!
Thanks so much.
That was beautiful! You must be very proud of Mikey and yourselves. He has the best life ever!
Yes, we are so proud of him. He did so well
