I have watched that intro dozens of times and never noticed how much Jessi's hair moves! Props to whoever took the time to add that little touch.

[@greentearobin]

I never noticed that before! So cool!

[@juliusroman8616]

Yeah, that's how animations usually work. I've seen a ton of good animatics on KZbin.

[@FlyKiwi]

@@juliusroman8616 Not sure what you mean "that's how [they] usually work" . Do you mean they usually have small details you don't notice on first watch?

[@elizabethkeaton1213]

I really enjoy her interaction with each of the animals, feathered, hairy, or spiked. she and they have great jobs! Thank you for all you do for each other!

[@marthachampagne316]

you can tell that the birds realy like getting new toys.

[@tzxazrael]

parrots really do! they're estimated to be as smart as a human child between ages 2 to 5... so they need a lot of fun things to do to keep them stimulated and entertained!

[@thainoahwalker-scott4627]

5 to 2 is actually decent for a animal its size.

[@animemusicluver1]

THEY'RE ALL SO CUTE 😍

[@I_am_Lauren]

you could always film the bird room and do a voiceover.

[@sky_mxtthew6863]

She did

[@hollyodii5969]

Jessi you are an EXCELLENT ambassador for our species!

[@SurferGirlAllAroundTheWorld]

I would LOVE to see more of the birbies! I’m a bird person and I have some and we watch your bird videos together. My bigger birds get excited when they see your birds on the screen or hear them. 😊♥️🌺

[@bubbajenkins123]

I can smell the room! It smells like birbs!

[@tzxazrael]

who would i like to see featured in future episodes? "yes" lol... i love all of the parrots, and i love seeing everything about them!

[@sridherjeyachandran7375]

Bird sounds are so soothing!

[@ediekoller1144]

Love the birdroom Jessi. I have a cockatiel rescue bird named "Baby" and I have had him for 22 yrs. I got him from a bird rescue and his name is Baby and he was around 3-6 months old when he was given to me in 1997 and while he can no longer fly he is very spoiled and still talks and is on my shoulder for at least 6-8 hours a day when I am home.

[@fahrinurlaub01vg]

OMFG, this is so incredibly awesome! Seeing the joy on your face when you interact with your animals makes my heart weep with happiness!

[@lizd.2343]

This makes me so happy. The amount of care you put in making sure your animals aren't just healthly but entertained is so rare to see. It's made me much more conscious of how big a responsibility it is to have a pet. Keep up the good work!

[@Fred-yd8qb]

Thank you so much for making these videos, it always makes my day!

[@karmajangchup]

Love all the birds!! Especially the conures ❤🐦

[@14Raine14]

Bird room tour, yes please! I love checking out other peoples bird rooms, I have 4 birds

[@KGisthename]

Steve having a blast whistling at the end of the video. Cockatiels are sweet little birds. Great for begginers!

[@animalwondersmontana]

Ooo, that's Zoe! She loves to whistle and make noise whenever I'm talking. She can almost whistle as well as Steve, but he's defintely the master of that charge whistle.

[@KGisthename]

@@animalwondersmontana oh hahaha go Zoe!

[@mshehab22]

Fun fact: cockatiels can learn how to eat with there claws

[@mavisfeng6235]

Haha!! My favorite part is when she says "Zapper the Alexandrine Parakeet is to the immediate left, bobbing his head like a little maniac" That MANIAC part is somehow super funny in my opinion... :)

[@Drawkcabi]

My father bought a blue and gold macaw named Rico from a pet store when I was 8 years old in 1983. Macaws are definitely 1 person birds. First he bonded with my mother but she developed allergies so then I became his primary care giver and he bonded to me and wanted nothing to do with my mother. He ended up never bonding to my dad. While Rico's cage wasn't too small, it wasn't big enough. However every day he had time to spend outside of it, hanging around with me. Even on my busiest days he got out at least for a bit of time while I cleaned and changed his water and did other things. He never plucked out his feathers at all so I suppose that was a sign I was doing some things right, although I know birds can still have anxiety issues without doing that. It was a privilege to have Rico in my life and I will always be grateful for it, but I would never do it again unless I had at least as big a room for the bird as you have there, at least one other bird for companionship, and the time and finances to care properly for them. They deserve no less and the responsibility of caring for birds like these is a huge one, they should never be taken on as a pet by anyone who doesn't understand that. I'm so glad there are wonderful people like you where birds who need it can be given the care they deserve. Thank you!

[@sridherjeyachandran7375]

Very relaxing indeed!

[@mangodancin4512]

I love how Ginger just sits on your shoulder!

I live in Australia. When a flock of parrots flys overhead it is the loudest chatter ever. They sound like they are having a great social time though.

[@8happyperson]

I love this channel, every episode brings me back to watching animal shows Saturday mornings when I was a kid. When you said "this is Steve" I said in my head "THE COCKATIEL!!!!" like a little kid haha.

[@OliviaGrace721]

I love these bird videos so much! You should definitely keep us updated. I’d love to see a tour of Rook’s enclosure :))

[@belle369]

Yes! I was waiting for this!

[@estelacpc]

pretty birds all around!! the macaws are beautiful!!!!

[@alexandraw909]

So cool! I'm curious, is it possible/probable to have a big open cageless aviary-type room for the smaller birds like u have for the big ones? Or are their personalities too hectic to have that? I.e. they might get too riled up/territorial without set 'boundaries' and therefore fight? I know i've seen aviaries full of mixed parrot-types before, but i think it was with birds that had basically all grown up that way and not had such varried pasts, so that's why i'm asking about the fighting issue

[@animalwondersmontana]

Thanks for asking! I've tried many times to find a way to get everyone out of their enclosures, but it's just not a responsible option. Since all of our birds are different species and are rescues with a wide variety of past experiences, most of them do not get along in an open space. Some would flat out try to kill others, while others might just fight and cause minor injuries. It's nothing like simply opening their doors and letting them wander about. A good example of this is if I opened both Amazon parrot's doors and let them just be out together, Chongo would try to be Zoe's friend and repeatedly come close. Zoe is aggressive toward him and would end up seriously injuring him. Another example is Chopsticks the Quaker parrot who is extremely aggressive with all other birds and would seek out harming anyone else he perceived was in his territory. Accidentally leaving a door unlatched is real nightmare fuel. Realistically a door left open would most likely end in a toe being bitten off and possibly even a life lost. The pairings we currently have are celebrated and I'm so glad the macaws accept each other as roommates, otherwise it would be very challenging to house them well. I'm really excited about the outdoor space we have set up for them now because the ones that get along can be on the same perch, while others can still be out but on a different perch. All the new and constantly hanging stimuli helps to break up any issues they might have with each other as well, so it's perfect for partially mingling the flock.

[@RoseOfSilpion]

I do love the bird videos! I would particularly like to see more of the doves if you can find the time. I have three doves and one cockatiel, ages 13 to 15. They do have harnesses, and when the weather is nice, I take them to the beach, being mindful to watch for hawks and dogs. Thank you for being such a wonderful and patient bird mommy!

[@dill1899]

My cockatiel was NOT ready to hear Steve whistling lmao

Since it's almost midnight and my flock's (cockatiel/budgies) tucked up for the night, I'm glad I watched this with earphones. 😉

[@robing9594]

Happy to have stumbled upon this channel. My daughter and I loved you on SciShow for Kids. She wants to know where Squeaks is.

[@ironythegoddess3815]

I love seeing Zoe in vids. She always makes me think of my grandparent's Red Lored, Ivy. That said, I'm immediately reminded that Ivy isn't normal by Zoe because she's a little on the small side and has a malformed beak that was caused by improper care and neglect from her previous owners, and we're assuming something hereditary.

[@anna.m8]

Yes, more episodes with birdies 💙 🐦

[@andrew9414]

wow/ another amazing episode. I don't know how you do it Jesse, you must be stretched really thin. I know you have people that help you out, but still. quite amazing that you take care of all those animals. you are my hero.

[@ember2441]

Ahh! Thank you for the video Jessi! I looooove birds, especially cockatiels (mine looks just like Steve) ❤️

I would love to see another video featuring Hera the hawk and Rook the raven. Maybe Rook could make a special appearance for Halloween? :) We haven't seen her in awhile!

[@Loveofpets]

Your birds are beautiful. I love those hanging perches. Do the other birds come out of their cages daily?

[@rikardo1070]

FANTASTIC TOUR ! Your bird sanctuary facility rivals that of Best Friends in Utah !!!!! congrats !!! (for the 465th time !)

[@ThousandTimesBefore]

How do you keep the birds from flying away outside? :)

[@keianna5106]

parrots are social animals so generally they want to stay with their owners and other birds they live with, only untame/underhandled birds actively want to escape but even bonded birds might run if something scares them and are just unable to find their way home. OFC there is exceptions this is just a general viewpoint from my exp.

[@jax5191]

Some people have harnesses for birds to take them out on their shoulder without them flying off. If you're bonded really well then you can train your bird to fly around and come back.

[@ThousandTimesBefore]

Thank you two for answering! Birds are pretty amazing :)

[@marteenie7189]

look up “free flying” videos. gives me chills everytime i see a bird fly so freely and come back to its human for kisses and treats. so cool!

[@OliviaGrace721]

I’m sure they’re recall trained, parrots are incredibly intelligent and can learn to come when called, just like a dog. A loud, colorful dog lol I have 9 of my own and they’re so fun, they aren’t properly tame because they weren’t hand-raised, but they trust me enough to land on me, and they know their names :))

[@parrotlife6856]

Could you do a video of Steve the cockatiel and agent perry please? I have a parakeet also and I’m thinking of getting a cockatiel so I would love to see more of the little guys! 😄

[@alilee2618]

The Macaw bird room is so awesome! Hopefully I can make one someday too.

[@TheJupiteL]

I was hoping to see my girl Rook, is she alright?

[@animalwondersmontana]

She's doing great! She doesn't live in the Bird Room though, which is why she's not in this episode. Rook lives in her outdoor mew. Maybe we should do a Mew Tour in the future?

More bird videos!!😍

[@Bakuraliciouss]

I would die for these birds

[@ryanstanger6322]

Love these vids you inspired me to adopt a parrot Xxxxxxx

[@maybreech3824]

Why can't the bunnies and macaws be together?

[@cassiushumqua7301]

Because macaws can be very aggressive and can hurt the bunnies. Also, they'd poop on the bunnies, and also not very clean. (Im not quite sure if that was a serious question or not, sooo)

[@OliviaGrace721]

They are two VERY different species and they have different housing and diet requirements. Putting them together would be extremely chaotic and unsanitary. Also, macaws can be very finicky and would probably act aggressively towards the bunnies if they got particularly scared.

[@marisalee194]

How’s Zeema? Will she eventually join the parrots in the bird room?

[@animalwondersmontana]

Toucans will sometimes prey on smaller birds, so it could be stressful for the little ones if Zeema lived full time in the Bird Room. Also, she needs a huge amount of space so she just wouldn't fit with our current setup. Lastly, our flock is AVB positive and Zeema may not be, so she's kept separate for safety.

[@animalwondersmontana]

Oh, and she's doing well :) You can follow her on Instagram under Zeemathetoucan where there's more updates on her than the YT channel.

[@ParrotVolancy]

Is it your goal for all of the clipped/previously flight-restricted birds to be rehabilitated to flight?

[@AndyOfSpades]

When I lived in Montana I’d say the macaws were probably nice. After six months in Florida working at a shelter for birds I’d say macaws are the ones most likely to try to fight me, aside from the quakers. They’d probably fight god if they wanted to. Cockatoos ftw

[@cookiewolf1070]

Can you please do a new “all of our birds”

[@Valdagast]

What happens if the bunnies get in with the macaws? I can understand keeping them from the falcon (you do have a falcon, don't you? or was it a hawk?), but macaws?

[@monkeyboy3219]

jessi i have noticed that chongo isn't often featured in video i was wondering if possible you could a meet and greet for chongo or something else involving him. i really want to know more about him since most of the other birds have had their stories told

[@DEniseCHAVEZ7]

I have a 3 year old green cheek conure. I've had him since he was 9 months old. He has recently changed his attitude when it come to me and my husband. He has become aggressive and always tries to bite us. What can we do to have him be the sweet boy he was before or even better with us?

[@elenapetrova1389]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@NamelessCruiser]

A room filled with colorful, noisy birds makes me happy. I don't like the idea of keeping birds, because they're birds. Taking away a bird's access to the sky is something I can't do, so it's cool to see them in the context of an animal care place. At least I can enjoy them by proxy.

[@veronika1159]

Do you ever listen to music/podcasts while taking care of the animals to block out the noise/pass the time? When I took care of the animals at work, I would go crazy if I couldn’t listen to my podcasts. I needed some kind of noise going on. Of course there’s times to just focus on the animals, but during routine cleaning and chores do you listen to things as well?

[@animalwondersmontana]

I go through so many audiobooks every month. I also have albums specifically for cleaning energy. I also drive a lot to get to our public presentations, so there's plenty of time there too. It makes the tedious tasks so much better.

[@ganaraminukshuk0]

Me: Yes, it's the birbs again!!

[@jmpattillo]

Steve was going crazy at the end!

[@animalwondersmontana]

That was the ever lovely (and loud) Zoe! Steve for sure joins in, but he doesn't have the lung power that Zoe has so he couldn't disrupt in the same fashion that Zoe does 😄

[@SheThatGinger]

Do you have a video on what is bird safe? Like, those 'bird' leashes? Certain toys? Even foods such like fruits, seeds etc. I am just curious, I really want to own a bird one day cause they are one of my favorite species! anyways, I want to do all the research I can before owning any sort of bird.
