Zapper makes the cutest noises! I love the video.

I don't think Zapper was afraid of the grapes. I think he just wanted to have Jessie feed him his grapes fed to him. He has her pretty well trained ;)
this is why i need feminism
Person: it's an almond.
Bird: nods
Person: yeah it's an almond!
(She's Jessi in case you missed it :) )
I adore how talkative he is! Such a chatty boy!
My favorite is the little "pew pew" noise he makes.
Ah, an aspen tree. You can tell it's an aspen because of the way it is.
Neat!
Seeing Zapper just *destroy* that almond is amazing. :O I've wrestled with those things before and even with tools, my feeble human hands are often no match!
WireMosasaur You've wrestled almonds before?
I love Alexandrines! They are absolutely beautiful!
You can tell it's an aspen by the way it is.
Jack Jedlicka - That’s pretty neat!
I love these "hanging out" videos so much! Thanks for them!
The amount of trust you have in him and vice versa is amazing
Amazing ! i would love to see a video of toxic and non-toxic perches for parrots
osama almousallam you can google bird safe wood
Mesquite is a really good wood I have heard about and have used personally for my Grandma's Yellow-Headed Amazon
Zapper is gorgeous and so talkative :-)
Zapper and Kemosabe make the best noises!
Such an agreeable bird you have there!
What a graceful, elegant creature. The parakeet, too.
He is so cute. That beak is just precious
Zapper makes such amazing sounds. :)
I watch this video when I'm sad. Zapper cheers me up. :)
Wow, Zapper is certain a very lucky bird! I love how you were able to get him to interact with nature but be safe at the same time, definitely gonna do this with my flock soon
I love these behavioral observation sort videos, please keep making them! They're so fun and interesting to watch--thanks!!
I love Zapper's head bobbing
So cute how he nods his head!!😍😍😍😍😍
Zapper sounds like a space invaders game :P
I love the animals playing outside videos so much!
3:29 "He prefers to stay perched"
*bird nods*
Jessi is my favorite animal.
Yeah me too but i hate most homo sapiens
Wtf!?!
His sounds are adorbs!
Oh my gosh i love him.
I like how Zapper bobs his head up and down
I love Zapper.
So beautiful. Zapper is pretty too.
These parakeets are one of the species that have become established as an invasive in many European cities. The rose-ringed parakeet is even more common. I see them on my daily commute :)
Such a pleasant chirp
My bird is right footed! That's a cool thing to know! I love that Zapper likes to nod his head it's so cute! I hope he had lots of fun
He is such a cute little bird!
There's a bunch of feral rose-ringed parakeets where I live - they look very similar to Zapper, if a bit smaller - and I can absolutely vouch for their camouflage. I've walked past trees without noticing anything amiss, only to have them explode into a giant cloud of screaming green birds :D
I love the name Zapper, and his noises and little mannerisms are too cute for words. I love him! 😍😍😍
I love the nods
I’m in love with her 😭
Zapper the "shredder and destroyer". Sounds like a movie title.
he's so cute ! love the tail and head bobs
yet another FABULOUS vid from y'all. If I was a buddhist, I would want to return as one of your animals ! Most Caring Energy on Planet Earth !!!!!! cheers !!!!
Zapper is my favorite ambassador. He's funny, beautiful, and so charismatic. 💙
Damn you must be the happiest person on earth!
What a good boy😁
zapper sound like a spaceship sometime
Zapper cuuute!!
So cute
I love watching your vids. Also Zapper is sooooo cute and talkative.
aww zapper is adorable :)
He's a happy bird!
Beautiful bird! Reminds me of the green redback we had when I was a little kid :)
I love cockatiels. And i will get one tomorrow or maybe day after 1 day . Pls make more cockatiel videos becouse they are interesting. I love steve. He is so cute
Zapper is absolutely ADORABLE! I need one of these birds now. Either one of these or a sun conure. I hope my budgie will get along with them.
Zapper, destroyer of worlds
i showed this vid to my alexandrine, who is scared of me, and he flew on my laptop while i was holding it, adorable
He's so cuteeeee
Montana is beautiful :)
aww zapper reminds me of my tookie
Aww cute
"It's great getting him out here enjoying the sunlight"
Bird nods head vigorously
You can tell it's an aspen cause of the way it is
zapper i love you .
My cockatiels love pinecones too!
My parakeet is just like that!
so adorable!
Thank you for sharing this video! I had such fun watching you. :)
So many happy noises! He was so spoiled about those grapes though, lol.
I wish my friend could take her bird outside, but it's too dangerous..
Can you do more videos about bringing you your birds outside and can you also make an alexandrian parakeet care guide?
Zapper:"yes yes yes yes".
I have plans to purchase or rescue a Conure sometime this year and I'm trying to learn all I can. Trouble is, all the other videos on UA-cam concerning Conures, are uploaded by people whose voices are so annoying, I cannot listen to them long. Your's is a pleasant exception. Plus, I like your enthusiasm.
Great stuff!
Even non flighted birds can fly with wind, so it's best to harness train your parrot, or keep them in a birdie backpack.
Hi zapper!!!
As I become an adult I'm seriously considering getting a bird and I'm digging into research to be ready before, but I have so many doubts about triming their feathers, I obviously dont want to prevent him from flying because doing that to a bird is cruel, but I don't want him to fly away and get hurt in case I take him outside.
I haven't found a good answer online since everyone disagrees ...
Could you share your thoughts or maybe even speak about it in one of your future videos ?
I think the way they've done it to Zapper is good. Still able to fly around whatever distance he needs to fly inside, and if you were so unlucky that he fled outside you'd know he's within the area.
I know I'm not Jessi, but I can still give some advice. Having a full flighted parrot develops many of their muscles, makes them more confident, and makes them happier. There is very few situations where having a non flighted parrot is better. You can easily harness train a baby parrot so that you can put a leash on them of sorts and take them outside. That way, you can have a flighted parrot and allow them to enjoy the outdoors.
colasmulot There are a lot of factors to consider when choosing to trim or not. One of the first ones is if you're rescuing an adult or buying a baby from a breeder. It's great to let a baby fully fledge and learn to fly whether or not you'll eventually trim. It's good for their physical and mental health. I'd recommend trimming a rescued birds feathers as soon as you get them. This will prevent an accident during the initial bonding period, and gives you time to establish a trust bond while you wait for them to molt and regrow the flight feathers. Then you can see where you're at with your relationship and reassess.
I've had my cokateil and love bird for 10 years now. Both of them are basically real family and we've had them sence I was younger. I suggest trimming. Even if you trim, birds can still somewhat fly and especially glide. My cockatiel doesn't really like flying anyway (strange I know), but he's a very nervous bird (he was a rescue) and often when he flies out of panic, he ends up hitting against things, especially mirrors. Trimming is important to him as it avoids panic flying and self harm. Besides, he doesn't seem to mind as he prefers climbing stuff...
As for the love bird, he much rather liked and prefers flying. We used to allow him full wings but then my dad left the fan on and well... He's lucky to be alive and we rushed him to the hospital with a broken wing. Sence then we've chosen partial trimming (only around half of the wings) so that he isn't to go that high and be hit agIn (even if he avoids fans now for obvious reasons.)
Of course I'm talking about personal experience but I put the safety and the life quality of my birds before the whole 'oh it isn't natural!' argument. They're allowed to glide and fly around but trimming keeps them more safe (again, from my experience.)
I keep all my birds wings trimmed because it gives me the freedom to take them outside more often. Leashes work as well, but most birds can bite through them pretty quickly if they are determined to do so. Most of the accidents vets deal with when it comes to pet birds are caused by flight in small spaces like houses. (ceiling fans, toilets, boiling water on the stove, windows and mirrors are all bird hazards + the risk of bird flying away) So it is a bit of a trade off, but I think my birds get more enrichment from not flying as much with shorter wing feathers than they would have flying normally.
I have an Amazon parrot and grapes are a big no no for her. Is it different for a parakeet? Love your show and you do a great job!
That's interesting. I have budgies and cockatiels. For both of them, grapes are on the approved foods list in small amounts (as with all fruit).
Of course none of mine actually like fruit. They prefer their veggies.
Interesting. My budgies have never accepted the grapes I offer them. Clever birds, apparently!
... Although it is more likely that they didn't take the grapes because they are red. My budgies don't trust things that are red; toys, food, clothing... they have a genuine fear of anything red.
hello nice bird
Thanks, Squarespace!
My parrots are answering Zapper :)
This video made my day😃😃
Jessi just wondering can you do a bird room tour? I think webwould really enjoy that.
Do you give him card board boxes to play with? I heard that they love it because they love to peel back all of the layers
Love the video!
How much of his feathers have you trimmed? I can't see any trimmed feathers on him.
ShadeSlayer1911 Of the 10 primary flight feathers, I've trimmed the inner 7 about half way down so he can balance and flutter safely to the ground if he startled away from me, but wouldn't be able to get enough lift to go very far.
My vet trimmed all 10 about 3/4 of the way.... Poor Niko
Working for a rescue we have seen birds get away clipped and birds are free flyers mine love their freedom of flight
Hi Jessi! Can you please do an update video on Tika the Turaco? I'd love to see how she looks and behaves now!
Cool bird :)
Zapper's cool
I have a cockatiel like Steve, his name is Peety
Aren't you worried he will fly away?
frogzzity 3:20
She clips his wings but if the wind gets under him, he could still get away from her
Holly Sanford incorrect. There wasnt any wind there
Jessi, I love all your videos! Do you still have fluffy the rose hair? If so could you do a molting video? I'd really like to see you describe the parts of a spiders exoskeleton! Thanks!
awwwwwwwwwwwwwww
Zapper does more talking than the narrator 😃🕊
Hey I just got a Quaker parrot and it made me wonder how chopsticks was doing
I loved this video! Looks like so much fun hanging out with a bird friend
There's a lot of Rose-ringed parakeets (Psittacula krameri), very similar to this Alexandrine, living "in the wild" in my part of The Netherlands and also in other European (mainly urban) areas. They can be really fun to watch but they have become a real plague and can be very noisy!
Does Zapper ever start screaming if he gets excited or wants to communicate something?
can u just like give me zapper so i can love him for ever
Can you show all the diffrent amazons? Im getting a baby bluefronted soon (σ≧▽≦)σ
Could you give some advice spesificly about amazons?
I know a little bit about Amazons, specifically the green cheeked variety. What would you like to know?
I am so happy because I am looking into getting either an Indian ringneck or if I am able to save more money I will get an alexandrine like zapper
Zapper nods a lot. Is that normal for alexandrian parakeets or is it a personal quirk?
I love the video to and he duz make the more cute noyziz
