- Welcome to this mad weekend parrot adventure in the Lake District as Mikey & Mia leave their nest to free fly with 29 birds at Tommi's 3rd Birthday for 4 days! Living with 4 Macaws wasn't actually as bad as it seemed haha. It was amazing seeing so many birds in flight, especially the free flying cockatiels. These Parrot Party Meets are always great fun and we love vlogging them for you guys so a huge thank you to @ShelbyTheMacaw for organising this in such an epic location like Loughrigg Tarn

Parrots are so funny looking, with their bright colors and big eyes, hook beaks and the noises they make. Like clowns.
Then you see them in full flight and they turn from funny to majestic. Birds are really amazing creatures. We are lucky to share the planet with them
Hahaha so true.
We applaud you guys for so much of your work flying Mikey and Mia, getting them sunshine and for the all natural way you feed them. We now applaud you for showing parrot moms and dads that there is a way to have a vacation with your feathered children to allow you a change of scenery without sacrificing their mental well being from separation anxiety. Thank you so much!!
happy hatchday for Tommi's bday
I haven't been back to your channel in a bit. I think it is amazing the life you have given the birds. Their quality of life is incredible, especially knowing what they came from. Blessings and much love. I really enjoy your videos and seeing your beautiful birds.
Aww thanks. Stop by again soon
Absolutely fantastic stuff
Thanks a whole bunch for sharing your wonderful experiences with us. Love yoy all!!!
This is so wonderful, happy birthday!! Does it feel fulfilling having these guys and being able to take them to events like these?
For us, it’s amazing to see them mingle and fly with other birds, they love it more than anything else.
We free fly in Ireland and for us life wouldn't be worth living without our flock..
Love you guys! 💜⭐️💜⭐️💜
You guys are amazing. Thank you for sharing.
Happy Birthday Shelby.🦜🦜🦜🦜🎂🥳thank you for sharing! What a lovely weekend. My favorite part and certainly earned a belly laugh was the roar
Tommi* haha

They’re all just so magnificent free flying together like that. Looks like it was a great party 🎉 Happy Birthday 🥳

In English?
Omg u get that aswell, mine will be A wall no more than half an hour my phone will explode with fb notifications, I found the rescue I've spent 2 yrs looking for, he is a 4 Yr old b&g who was cage bound for the last 3 years and used to walk everywhere, I set stuff up so he's had to fly out of the birdroom, 2 weeks has blown my mind with the improvement in his fitness cos he is a dump truck in comparison to the lean mean flying machine that is our 2 and a half Yr old harlequin , those couple of years has flown past, pun intended..and now there's a couple more ppl flying macaw, we're planning to meet, so finally we may have the Irish Flyers..oh Mikey Mia, as long as she not laying that's when it can get dangerous 4 the female, laying takes a lot out of the hen, our poor lovebirds laying cycle was all out of wack so laid 3 clutched in quick succession found her passed yesterday we are devistated only little birb I've ever met who could force anyone to love her, she's left a gaping sore hole..Her n bigbie were bffs, he seen her dead n omg he's been so solemn since,..it was just the 2 of them for a couple of years.. 😔 😟
Omg so sorry for your loss. How sad. Hope you are ok.
Amazing on the new rescue and starting a little free flight group though!
It’s lovely to see that your beautiful macaws have a fantastic life love by the bucketload watching them have fun makes my day thank you guys for all you do for them keep me posted

Awww yay thanks.
Spot on with the choice of jazzy music!!
That place is beautiful. 😍
Enjoy watching your adventures!!
Awww thanks.
Hi from Belgium , it's wonderful to see parrots flying like this.
I like your videos. It's good to see parrots in captivity be really happy . And I think It's a fantastic idea you have to make this appointements with all of the friends and parrots. It's really good to see. Are you going sometimes in other country ?
Thanks. We don’t travel out of the UK with the birds. It would be far too stressful for them.
Your video are amazing 👏
Thank you!!!
Yesss! And congrats Tommy
Love your video’s.
You inspire me.
This was great! Thanks!
Wow I love this video! I’m actually getting a macaw this week so this video was really helpful just to see what there like!
Oh wow so sorry to hear. This is nothing like what having a macaw is like lol. Macaws are extremely loud, very very messy, destructive, they bite hard, when hormones kick in you will be attacked, they are horrible family pets as they like one person and will attack the rest and they live forever… Make sure you have a few spare pennies too, vet bills are crazy and you will need a large aviary
@@MikeyTheMacaw i am
Aware of all the things you have mentioned
I have got a cage for it as big as 1-2 shipping
Containers. their diet is vegetables, fruit
And nuts for training. Yes i am aware that
They can be stubborn but im pretty sure
Once you form a bond with them they get
Better. I apologise if that comment made
Me seem like i knew nothing about them.
I would obviously not get a pet if i knew
Nothing about them! But i do thank you
For trying to inform people about macaws
As there can be some pretty careless owners
Of them in the world!
Happy Birthday Tommi xxx Looked so beautiful, where you stayed. Omg, straight back to nesting hahaha
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOMMY 🎂🎁🎉🎉🎊🥳. THIS WAS SOOOO BEAUTIFUL & EPIC👍👍👍💯 THANKS FOR ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO 👍. HAPPY FRIDAY, HOPE Y'ALL HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEKEND 💙💛🐦🐦🐦🐦💚❤️🐦💃🕺🥳🥳🥳🥳🙋
Happy b day
Great video! I hope Tommy had a great birthday!
I love that they sleep with sun light 🤣🤣🤣🤣 and it looks like a central America forest 😍😍😍😍
I JUST LOVE WAKING UP TO YOUR VIDEOS... THE BIRDS ARE SOOOOOO ADORABLE. HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🎉🎂🥳🔥🔥🔥👍
Yay! We hope your morning was wonderful.
Beautiful video, happy birthday Tomi, all birds are so cute but I have soft spot for the tiels, not often they free fly!
Yea we love seeing the tiels fly
This is waaaaaay cool!
You guys should make a Mikey and Mia soundtrack! Adorable birds + excellent musical tracks = thumbs up video!
EPIC 😍😍😍 More of that please 😉
Hahaha Mia’s bday is next weekend. Stay tuned.
#54👍‼️Fabulous and Wonderful 💖‼️
Woooo
Great video. I hope to free fly my cockatiel someday
pretty good
We laughed a lot at this video! 😂Looks like you guys had fun!
Haha great! Yea it was an amazing day.
Where is that? It's gorgeous!
Also seeing all the parrots together makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside (especially the cockatiels! I love them)They all look so happy with their owners.
It’s in the Lake District.
Yay!!! Another video :D
Happy hatchday tommie, great place to fly too. Will mikey and Mia have young?
Such an epic spot. We touched on the nesting here ua-cam.com/video/qY81_50S4Io/v-deo.html
Aves en LIBERTAD...hay algo más MARAVILLOSO??
In English?
Love watching mikey mia and shelby n tommi ! . Happy birthday tommi .
My dad used to have a macaw when i was younger called zooey .
Is there there any update on the parrot that went missing that you posted ? . .
Thanks. Unfortunately the man who took him put him out on the street hungry and weak in the middle of the night and a bunch of feathers were found the next day, so we believe a fox got him. So heartbreaking.
Not my kind of holiday, but looks great for you guys. Are Mikey & Mia related, they want to breed ?
Nope not related. They have started mating haha ua-cam.com/video/qY81_50S4Io/v-deo.html this vid covers it.
The person with the lip-ring/piercing: you are either very brave or insane :) (or have an extraordinary parrot(s) )
Even mijn african grey would have ripped it out, let alone my macaw!
I loved, loved, loved seeing all those parrots (and parrotpeople) together.
(Makes me wish I could as well :D but mine is broken...)
Mikeys beak is growing so long! Doesn't he rub it?
Yea so Mikey does his best to file his beak down, it just seems to grow faster than he can work it haha
@@MikeyTheMacaw LOL, the little dude is an overachiever :D
You guys are SO much fun!
Love your videos! I especially love the large free flight group shots. I had a cockatiel for 23 years who would free flight in the house but sadly not outside. It’s so cool to see your cockatiel free flighters because I didn’t even know it could be done. Could you please tell me what kind of parrot this is at 5:18? I’ve never seen one like it before.
It’s a Patagonian Conure, really lovely birds
The owners of the cockatiels also have a UA-cam channel-> soaring wings flock 😊
Yea we love watching the tiels fly, so amazing.
Thank you!
Thanks! I will check them out!
Brilliant. Happy birthday Tommi! I love your videos guys. As someone thinking about getting a Macaw i have used your videos as part of my learning before making a decision. I have just one question if i can ask. Do they birds ever get attacked by birds of prey? I live in Scotland and I have always wondered if it has ever been an issue. Many thanks in advance and keep up the great work. I hope Mikey and Mia don't want to upgrade their nest lol
So our guys do get the odd chase by kites etc, but are pretty fit fliers to out fly them or if they see danger in the sky they usually don’t fly. Have a chat with soaring wings flock. They fly macaws in Scotland.
@@MikeyTheMacaw Many thanks for the reply. I will check out your recommendation. Keep up the good work.
Finally u uploaded !?????
is this a live for the birds, or the live with the birds ;-)?
i hope i cam take some photos when my way goes to uk!
Hello. Love the videos, I hope to one day be able to free fly my parrots as well. I couldnt help but notice some of the backpacks people are wearing have built in stands. I couldnt find anything similar anywhere online. Would you know where I could find one of those backpacks? Or are they DIY / custom made items? I am really interested in finding one. Thank you.
Amazing that you want to get into ff, there are a few people that make and sell these, motleys adventures do and so do opie perch pack
great post--I was wondering, do birds look forward to going out and flying. I mean, dogs get really excited to go on walks or out. Birds get excitied?
Hahaha yup, if we don’t fly for around 3 days they sit at the window screaming and have far too much energy. The second we are outside they try and take off and scream with joy
Such a beautiful vid 😍 But I had some kind of display malfunction, when Dan was moving backwards in a very strange posture ⁉️🤔
Ahhh, we will try sort out that malfunction next time, you may have to pay good money for that kinda quality though 😂
@@MikeyTheMacaw Haha, not sure about who pays whom 😂🫣
Happy birthday Toni, Curios to know what you would do with if they laid an egg and it hatches? Would you keep the baby bird or find a good home?
They answerd it a couple of times. They most likely would replace the eggs with dummies as they don't want to contribute to the problem of more unwanted and caged parrots.
We touch on the whole nesting side here ua-cam.com/video/qY81_50S4Io/v-deo.html
Question (I am not on insta/metabook etc. so I may have missed it) about the persons who somehow attached a perch on the backpack. (3:27 / 3:34 / 3:56 cannot make out the logo...)
Does anyone know how to do this? Can you buy them somewhere?
I want to take my (flightless / handicapped) B&G macaw outside, but she gets nervous/excited and always throttles me/ pierces skin of my neck. I have a pack-o-bird, but that is like walking with her caged; this perchthingy will allow her to get here more sun etc. and maybe even let her move those mobility-restricted wings a bit more. (I can deal with the scaredy-poops, no problem, and she will be wearing a harness as well, of course, for safety. Because she will forget she lost the abilty to fly sometime in her life/ pretty sure she started flighted though.)
Sorry to be a bother, googling did not help me at all, maybe you can?
Hey, so that’s from Motleys adventurez, you can find them on insta/fb
d'day mate ... [ sry passing of my ] bro hugs
What keeps them from just flying away and not coming back?
Months of training, kinda like a dog off a leash
Amazing video but my Ringneck parrot has flown away :c
Oh no, so sorry to hear this.
hi from New Zealand, i just adopted a macaw , she is not aggressive but why does she walk and stomp her feet on her perch and on the ground, showing off ?
Haha no idea never heard this. Where in nz are ya? We know a few macaw owners there, if you are having trouble they maybe able to help. Pop us a dm on insta/fb
Who’s the red front, guys?
A girl named Charlotte, not sure if she is on socials. Only just met her this weekend.
I would love to fly to America when I grow up just so I can meet people with free flying parrots like you guys..
(Or anywhere else than my country cus we don't have anything like that here)
I am trying to harness train my cockatiel rn.. The idea was inspired by you guys :,)
But it's kinda hard xD
There are fliers all over the world.
they wering yellow pants
Second
Well done.
These videos don’t get as much views than they deserve
Haha yea, UA-cam stopped notifying people, even mummy human doesn’t get notified anymore lol
When are your macaws going to have babies ?
No idea haha. Seems like they tried but nothing.
Omg Im the first one!
You are!!! Congrats.
My bird just died i cant acept it im broken🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️😭😭😭
So sorry to hear this.
The more I watch your videos and all these free flightet birds and their amazing owners the less I can tolerate that people keep birds in cages all day. Free flying them is of course next level not all owners are capable of it and that's ok but at least take them out of their cages during day time or build them a decent aviary and challenge them mentally. These creatures are simply amazing.
10:00 omg😅
Do you guys have to take the birds for a wellness check before taking them to free flight parties like this? My parrot vet is very against parrot play dates because it risks transferring disease, so I'm just curious.
Always, every free flier gets their bird fully disease tested at least once a year to make sure all birds are well and healthy before coming in contact with others.
@@MikeyTheMacaw Awesome. Thanks for the response.
Awesome video as usual.
Why don't you take the nest away, other birds respond to this very well so I don't understand why your pandering to them even putting their food there too? Best thing would have been to leave the nest in the lake District recycling centre.
Honestly we did think this. Before they made the nest they were so frustrated and very loud, now they are actually super chill, they are calm, quiet and clean, it’s not the worst thing in the world. It’s their choice to be there, we don’t feel we should dictate their lives more than we already have
@@MikeyTheMacaw I understand that but in the long run there are a lot of risks in allowing this behaviour. You give them an exceptionally good life & you relating this to your human feelings & feeling guilty over it isn't doing them any good. It's your birds but you share them & what you do with us. I've always been in awe of what you do for Mikey & Mia.
They're so beautiful but it did make me sad to see the birds flying around not being wild animals ☹️. (I'm disgusted with the cat/dog/euthanasing situation.) No pet bird for me: my dad had a monk parakeet & that bird was mean: but the bird was probably miserable because of the life he had to live in a cage/flying around in a house. The bird cage was on wheels & would get wheeled outside daily. One day, one of his "dish doors" wasn't snapped closed correctly & bye-bye birdie. Thank God.
