Taylor Trains an Amazon Parrot

[@InvisiMan2006]

We adopted a 40 year old Amazon two and a half years ago - he took to my wife, but HATED me. I couldn't enter the room without him trying to bite and walking by his enclosure felt like I was risking my life. This went on for over two years! But I never gave up and I would whistle with him, talk to him, and continued to earn his trust. Then just a few months ago he let me touch him - barely. Today, I'm able to have him step up and walk around the house with him on my arm. I can't even describe how satisfying it is to know that all the persistence finally paid off and we are now buddies :)

[@Rainbowlove132]

Taylor did such a great job at showing and explaining to us how she's working with Archie ♥ Might never use this information since I don't have or plan on having a bird, but still love learning about all types of animals.

[@ravennightshade4702]

Your debut went great, very confident and engaging. Good job 👍

[@DungeonMetal]

Only criticism... is that shirt inside out or wtf?

[@rubymimosa]

gondiamond Its seams kind of pay tribute to “rag edging” or pinking edges. It’s a step towards acknowledging hand made things within factory products, unless of course its hand-made, in which case, bravo! Have you considered that when producing content it might be frustrating to see comments that aren’t so much about the content the creator is focusing on? I don’t know that’s the case here, but have heard other creators express their frustration with such comments. I’m sure that wasn’t your intention and hope pointing out it might be something to consider didn’t come across as negative in any way. Take care

[@BlazeABD]

Been watching since 10k subs This channel is so wholesome.

[@AllTheArtsy]

Hi Taylor! You were great! Both in your interactions, and how you delivered information. We hope to see more of you in the future :)

[@8happyperson]

A+ presentation especially if this is her first time making something she knew would be public on the internet

[@mikeshargent8948]

hi everyone ,if anyone else needs to find out about how to train your parrot to stop bitingparrot teaching try Pycanta Parrot Tips Protocol (just google it ) ? Ive heard some decent things about it and my friend got cool success with it.

[@lottatroublemaker6130]

Mike Shargent - Do you sell it?

[@EinhornIsAMann]

Everyone here is so nice

[@itskylierae]

Taylor should be in more videos. She’s great. And Archie is so cute😍

[@hiko73]

Taylor - you are so cute & awesome :) Your patience, calmness, sweetness shows through

[@wowcomm1]

Taylor did super well, not just with Archie but presenting Animal Wonders too. Bring her back/on anytime!

[@zachgajda]

She has a really infectious smile and you can tell how genuinely happy she is to be working with the animals I love it

[@sbs726]

I have a rescued Amazon blue front for 40 yrs. I can't get him to talk, he was originally cared for by my mom who has passed and i have him. Would love to know why he won't talk. Great job taylor,v your so 🥰 nfidant and a real natural animal trainer.

[@whatareallofthis]

Great job, Taylor! I can't wait to hear how you and Archie are getting along in the future.

[@emilylarson795]

My old workplace (cat and dog animal shelter) asked me to foster a 35 yr old Amazon parrot with the option to adopt at the end. I live in a one bedroom apartment. Over the two weeks I fell in love with the parrot. He cuddled in my lap to sleep, demanded to be with me every moment. I literally started sobbing when I returned him to the shelter for a rescue to pick him up. I could hear him screaming for me. I knew, however, that I couldn’t provide the best long-term care for him. Thank you to people and organizations that take such good care of these beautiful animals ❤️

[@Piarou]

The thing I love most in this video is how you (Taylor) are clearly enjoying this. You are SOOO happy, and so eager to share your joy. Thank you for sharing it, and keep having fun! :D

[@Evzone1821]

Your communication is stellar. You could put a whole room at ease. Very knowledgeable. 10/10

[@keegan9935]

Taylor did such a good job, both with Archie and the video!!

[@ediekoller1144]

A+++++++ On Presentation. You explained everything so well Taylor ...You are confident, you have eye contact and you smile too:)))Keep up the great work!

[@ehkesoyo]

Man, her excitment about her work was palpable. So cool! Also, lol at Archie following her hands and turning his head upside down. "Gimme the treat already!" XD

[@coffeeandfeather]

Taylor is so delightful. More videos with her, please!

[@nikkifx]

These step-by-step instructions are very helpful! Great job!

[@judithwalker3600]

It's great to meet you, Taylor! From this video it is crystal clear that AWM has found the perfect person to be a partner in caring for their family! Just wonderfulto look forward to the exciting future of these amazing people doing so much for so many.

[@marykirkland82]

so cool to see another part of the team! you’re doing great, taylor!

[@sheetalmudaliar]

Thankyou so much for sharing Archie.

[@kabuto519]

Taylor is amazing gotta say that i really hope we'll get to see more of her training with the bird!

[@NancyH25]

Great work, Taylor? How much you love your job shines through & that's awesome. Archie seems to be enjoying the enrichment training you're doing w/ him.

[@Lucas_Tulic]

Oh man!!! This girl should be a regular on your shows!!! Top notch presentation!!! Cheers from Argentina!

[@BearInABallgown]

Well done Taylor and Archie! I love to see humans and animals learning together and building a mutual trust. Both you and Archie have had your worlds enriched, and you have an amazing friendship to explore. Excellent presentation, and excellent use of training skills and positive reinforcement. I'm so excited to see where Archie and you are able to go!

[@GiggleBlizzard]

Taylor, you seem so naturally fit for handling with these wonderful animals, I know it's been almost two years but dang keep it up!

[@jujubees]

How great is that girl!! Good job and keep doing what you love! Your perseverance and determination will take you far.

[@KayOHara4]

Well done Taylor. Archie clearly likes and trusts you. Good luck to both of you in the future.

[@eluna34]

My god I love Animal Wonders - Ethical, animal care centered wholesome content with an educational message. It's the definition of a video that will make anyone's day! Also, Taylor, you are so professional and wonderful with Archie!

[@peteschreiber9517]

HI. I'm very glad I found your site. You all do a great thing to teach people the correct way to care for a bird. I thank you and I love your videos

[@lottatroublemaker6130]

great job, Taylor! 👏👍 You aren’t just good at training parrots, but also at teaching human beings! Very nice explanation! I love clicker training, works great with all sorts of animals! I especially love how it easily gets the animals to also offer us behaviors they think we would like, so it makes them take initiative and show us, which I think makes them show their personality much more. Makes the whole thing a lot more fun... 😊

[@Cellokar]

Thank you, Animal Wonders, for doing what you do! :)

[@jonahbentzien3836]

My mother has a Blue fronted amazon as well! Was super excited to see you and Archie and you both did great! My mother's bird, Mack, is extremely noisy and while happy noises and singing are not a problem, it sounds more like yelling and screaming for someone to come in with him as he usually gets better when someone goes and talks to him. was wondering if there was anything I could do to advise my mom on what to do, Thanks

[@sbs726]

Same here, people think my Amazon is a wild child, even had the police arrive at my door once, because he was screaming so while I was reporting a car being stolen on my street. Cops laughed. Thieves got the car.

[@rob-paulson]

That upside-down head tilt at "stop and listen"! Archie is demonstrating the appropriate way to listen.

[@rubymimosa]

Rock on Taylor!! Mudita seeing your enthusiasm and joy for Archie, happy!!

[@theyxaj]

Taylor is a fantastic presenter! I loved it!

[@Cassandra0010]

Would love to see more videos of all the people at animal wonders! and lots more from Taylor!!!

[@strangekittyca]

You've done such an amazing job so far! It looks super rewarding, keep it up. I'm looking forward to seeing yours and Archie's progress!

[@ryn3872]

Yay Taylor! Good job, well presented, very clear and interesting. Hope we get to see more videos of you and Archie in the future.

[@maludir]

Hello Taylor, and congratulations on the job 😁 It's good to see and hear another person on this channel, not that Jessi is not doing an awesome job, but she looks tired from time to time... 🤔 I'm hyped for what's to come and thank you all at animal wonders for such an amazing show 😍

[@miuchipyon]

Awe good job and how cute is the birb

[@ShesAaRebel]

Taylor looked like such a natural in front of the camera! Great job.

[@sn20]

Taylor is awesome. She will go to heaven.

[@Bethydawn]

It's so interesting to meet some of the other people who make Animal Wonders such an amazing place!

[@MultiTomatillo]

That was nice. The Admiral and I watched together. She's a 30+ yr old blue front that we've had since she was a few months old. We look forward to seeing future videos of you two.

[@acrrazywriter]

Awesome! Way to go, Taylor!

[@unplannedsyntax]

My brother has a parrot and I love her! She doesn't allow much interaction, but I like to watch her and talk to her when she is in her cage. I wonder if one day I will be able to handle her! I loved tjhis video, Taylor!

[@leoshevkun3645]

Taylor seems really nice :) Thank you for a great video!

I Love Amazon parrot Very Nice Video dear mam

[@estelacpc]

i was really proud of myself for figuring out this was about archie before watching the video hahahaha good luck taylor!! archie looks very comfortable with you from what i've seen of him

[@colorstrate1712]

Hi Taylor, Glad to see you on Animal Wonders. I really liked your idea of placing Archie on the ground in order to rescue him onto your hand. I thought that was great! How long have you been working with birds? I am still young and I have had a passion for working with animals since a very young age. I also love birds but for right now I have a rabbit, like Hazel, that I have clicker trained, thanks to Jesse's videos. It is great that Jesse has invited you to bond with Archie. I admire her a lot. Look forward to seeing more videos with you and Archie on Animal Wonders.

[@ttouran]

Awesome video, I am about to get an amazon and been watching a lot of different training videos as well...

[@DuluthTW]

Cool. I wish this video was around 25 yrs ago when I dumped a guy because his parrot kept attacking me - even when I was across the room and not looking at him.

[@ttouran]

Let's be honest Teresa, that parrot had a sixth sense, and knew you were big trouble for that dude..lol j/k

[@penguinworldorder3545]

@@ttouran nah I think ur right dude 😂

[@AssonnatoKaito]

Thank You so much Taylor. Kiw od going on stick ! ♥️♥️♥️

[@gisellepadilla314]

She should be on the show more

Taylor did great, she's a natural. I would love to see an update.

Good job Taylor, keep up the good work.

[@faisalsalem2436]

I love her smile

[@facesbysusanna]

Ooh well that was really well done!!!!

[@mistyd6054]

Awesome job Tay!

[@dinkusoninkus]

Can I ask how long this took? Just on average how long does it take to develop a relationship with a bird? Days weeks months years?

[@garyblack8794]

Working with parrots I can tell you it really depends some bird it can a couple of days months and some even take years but the ones that take the longest are the most rewarding it depends on the bird and where it came from

[@animalwondersmontana]

About 7 months with a few training sessions every week :)

[@fallu6224]

Love this video! Can you make more on Amazon parrots? :) I have one and am needing as much help as possible!

[@iudexe3103]

She's so adorable 😳😍

[@vaultgirl42091]

Thanks Taylor! I know I am a year later but how did it go with Archie? I hope you both are well! 🖤🖤 Sending love from my flock to yours!

[@kadielarson5708]

Archie is so cute😍 I have a double-yellow headed amazon

[@subhajitdeysarkar9724]

Taylor is so natural infront of the camera.

[@shawndsouza8787]

Archie once again ❤❤❤. Miss my Rio a lot whenever I see Archie.

[@amberbydreamsart5467]

Archie's behaviors in the end of the video are so cute! Is his turning his head upside down just a way to try and get Taylor's attention to ask for treats or something else?

[@karenorrala4333]

I love your videos 💜💜💜💜

[@johnwolf7073]

awesome video :) keep it up !

[@wowthatsprettygoose6809]

This helped me much I've just got an orange winged amazon, and we got him from a abusive home. And 2nd day he way already letting me stroke him. I got stuck when I needed to teach how to teach him to step up.

[@lovethosebudgies]

Excellent video!

[@spinnaker5514]

Hi Taylor, I was wondering what type of treat you are feeding Archie in this video. It doesn't seem to take him long to finish the treat which is a good thing for training. Also, it didn't look like a seed since I didn't see any waste falling from his beak, and that would be a lot of seeds every day possibly two or three times a day. I try to limit seed intake for real special treats if possible. What are you using? Thanks

[@dippertheservicepupintrain1537]

This really helps me, because soon i will be taking my friends amazon for a bit to train him, they'd do it themselves but they are scared of him as he bites them, plus, his wings aren't clipped but he cant fly, im going to teach him that too as im working with Tiki on how to

[@Mr8L8X]

Wonderful work. Actually I am planning to get a Blue fronted, but the challenge I am facing is the temperature. What is the suitable temperature for that kind of parrots since I am living in middle east (Hot weather and dry)?

[@abot8749]

Oh my god thank you so much for this video it helped me a lot

[@sweetiguess]

great content. great host.

[@SuperLaplander]

Taylor, you rock!

[@_humamtv]

Very nice video

[@Psittac20]

I was working at a petco back in 07 with great co-workers who cared. We had an enclosed bird room in the middle of the store and got a sun conure transfered from another store. It had bonded strongly with a worker there and couldn't be sold. Since I had purchased a GCC earlier I decided to work with it and use my new knowledge of birds. It was a fiesty bird and only wanted to bite so I would put my hand close then pull back at signs of aggression then turn it into a fun game to spark curiosity. What was at first pure aggression turned into a positive interaction. It wasn't long before my daily interaction turned into stepping up then sitting on my shoulder while I cleaned the room and changed food and water. Then I thought about the over-bond issue and gradually stepped away my duties. It wasn't long before I could walk down the isle's of the store and look into the bird room and see the Sun stepping up and flying from the cart handle to another employee. It didn't take long before this conure found a new home.
