[@Reyairia]

I actually had unsubscribed from Caroline because I was getting frustrated at the way she treated Glory; it was very obvious Glory thought and behaved Caroline as her mate, but instead of realizing this, Caroline just decided Glory was too aggressive and blamed her behavior on Glory's previous owner, implying he was abusive towards Glory when he was not. On one hand, it was somewhat understandable; Caroline's other parrots did not show hormonal behavior towards humans, only other parrots, so Caroline was inexperienced with a bird that found humans sexually attractive. On the other hand, she made a video saying she was going to sell Glory despite the fact that the bird was given to her for free! by someone who trusted her to give her a good life. I said as much in several of her videos and as a final straw. I don't know if she just missed my comment because I was the only one or if she just wasn't listening and had made her mind up (a bad habit of hers) but here we are. And I don't even own birds (yet), I just had watched enough videos from around birdtube to figure out that hey, if a bird constantly wants to be on you, gets aggressively jealous of other birds, and screams when you are absent - yeah that bird most likely thinks you're her mate. I'm glad Caroline decided not to sell Glory (which would have DEVASTATED her) and finally listened that Glory was not a problem bird, she was just getting the wrong signals.

[@RiverCrystal]

Wow, thanks for sharing. Have never watched any of Caroline's videos, so the background info helps me see the bigger picture.

[@Nicky1026]

I had seen a video of hers where marlene visited her house and I was surprised at the chaos/easily was able to observe she was petting her bird in all the wrong ways. I'm also surprised that considering all the birds that she has that she wouldn't know these things, its shocking and scary to realize people have all these parrots but don't actually know that they require 12 hours of sleep or to not give them soft warm foods (I felt like these were basics) and for someone to own the number of parrots she does I would've expected more experience.

[@unicornwizhez4115]

I’ve seen a couple of her videos and despite her own “human training” even I don’t think parrots are really her thing :/ whether she wants it to be or not. Until consorting with bird tricks, at times it seems like she has had no prior experience or research before or during having them and has just been winging it the whole time. And honestly.. just her in general bugs me I remember her video titled people trying to steal my macaw and it was her macaw flying up into a tree her pretending he wasn’t hers and trying to coax the other people into getting him down like.. why? 🤦‍♀️

[@Bullen_3]

@@unicornwizhez4115 I agree. For one thing she has no clue on parrot body language and has 2 of the largest beaks of the parrot world basically in her face a lot of the time. And she communicates to all 3 of her macaws that she is their mate. And often she shoves them together when they don't want to be near each other. It's a recipe for disaster. As a matter fact Glory bit a hole in Love's beak,when she put them together in a crate. It is baffling that she didn't know any better,when she saw how aggressive Glory was, and knew she was used to being by herself with the other ppl for so many years. I really feel like you need to be prepared and have the right type of personality to keep parrots esp large parrots. And she doesn't have it.

Sometimes with a language barrier too many words is simply too many words. Would be better to not over explain. You have a willing heartfelt client who only wants to do what’s best. Maybe you just say 1. 12 hours of sleep, 2. Correct diet. 3. Don’t pet your bird like this. 4 we will show you what we want in target practice with our bird. 5. set her up for success. Do it indoors, make sure bird is hungry. Not ok to blame student for not understanding unclear over explained directions. You said bird was tired so wait. When the student doesn’t understand it is always laid at the feet of the teacher. The teachers job is to figure out what the student is understanding and help them. You did great by waiting to regroup.

[@asigsilver]

I finally get it! I didn't understand (after watching over 100 hours of your videos) why our birds need 12 hours of sleep!!!! After watching another video from the place where I am going to be adopting my bird, I was so confused. That video stated that in nature birds don’t always get 12 hours of sleep. But after watching this video, I finally get it! It’s tricking them into thinking it is not the season for mating! Therefore, they do not get hormonal! 🤦‍♀️

27 for Macaw parrots is young-ish middle age. They can live upwards of 60-80 years, though it is common that most pass away around the 50 mark. 27 years for say, a conure of any kind is typically older. So it depends on the parrot for the age limit.

[@outoftime7740]

Glory was locked up in her cage, behind a closed door for a very long time. Her previous owner didn't give the bird any attention. So this bird stayed in her cage, in her own room, behind a closed door and she screamed for attention. When Carolin picked her up, she has been screaming uncontrollably and constantly since that day. That's all Glory knows how to do. Glory is now afraid of losing Carolin. So she is jealous of even humans. I don't believe it's hormonal. This bird is very scarred and going to take a miracle to fix. Glory would be fine if Carolin had only one bird, Glory and if Carolin could give her all her time.. But that's not gonna happen. Carolin has 5 other birds.

So, I have a question. You guys are obviously busy and your birds aren't out all the time. I work and don't currently have anyone at home to spend time with my IRN until I get home, so he's in his cage for 8 hours. We have really good training times when I'm home and have made progress. What I want to know is do you leave foraging for pellets in for your birds when you're gone, before you come home and can do training with them? My IRN isn't hormonal and willingly goes into his cage for his pellet dinner before bed, but I'm wondering if I should be putting foraging toys in there along with his breakfast (he's still not 100% comfortable with my hands, so I don't want to invade his space more than I have to right now) so he can forage while I'm at work and then we do training when I come home, dinner, bed. He's such a small bird and it doesn't take much to fill him up, so I want to make sure I leave enough in there to keep him entertained, but so he's not full when I come home and it's time to train. I think my question is really just: thoughts? Lol. You guys are awesome. Thanks for being you.

NikkiPog4444 if it’s working for your birds then don’t change it necessarily - birds ideally need 12 hours of sleep but ours also go outside during the summer. When there’s a hormonal issue the sleep is very important as it plays a huge role. Also it seems this has been a lack of sleep issue for a long period of time so it’s having negative effects on Glory.

I have come to believe that some parrot owners actually like the chaos of their crazy hormonal bird . It’s all a part of their “Schtick”. I guess you can lead a horse to water . Frustrating .

If this woman owns other birds, I feel sorry for them.

[@TSUNAMI-MAMI]

She owns many unfortunately

[@scarcly]

Is that Caroline? 😂

[@marenhaugen5283]

Just a note, will be watching more of this video later. HOWEVER, we just got organic Life Balancing pellets. They smell so good, I want some, it has something minty in it (maybe a tea?). Nemo (my cockatiel) actually took one from me and then threw it on the floor. Also, I pestle and mortared them a little and mixed two table spoons worth with some of her cockatiel seed mix from the Perfect Parrot. She was eating it!!! She actually had some in her beak!!! Will watch for results the next few weeks as it is spring and she is moulting - perfect time for a healthy diet change.

Maren Haugen yay!!!!

[@marenhaugen5283]

@@BirdTricks She actually likes them!!

[@friedaschnell3729]

Ummm.... no.

Great video, I have been blessed, the 2 Toos I adopted almost a year ago, sleep from 7 to 7. Question about regurgitation...my male does this when we go for a car ride. Is this because he is happy or is it more car sickness? Thanx in advance, sue

[@crayonberry2123]

Aww! Two cockatoos! AwWwW. I love birds sooooooooo much

[@MyJAG12345]

I have heard that cockatoos have a tendency to get car sick.

[@newchanceanimalantics8096]

Wendy C thanks, good to know! We went to visit my Dad today and he did at the beginning and was fine on the way home, I have to agree with you.

[@newchanceanimalantics8096]

Crayon Berry I really got lucky, these guys are wonderful. Almost a year and no bites in the past 6 months, lol. Mickey has learned to redirect himself when he’s angry with me, like when I have to go out, he use to bite when I got home. The worst he does is chase my feet around the house but gentle when he catches me, lol.

Caroline is a such a ditsy person. I think she IS Just a bit hyperactive XD

[@ATLJonathanH]

Food training a parrot is cruel. In order for it to work, the bird has to be deprived of enough food to actually make it hungry.

I have read and heard that Hyacinth Macaws are even tempered and called The Gentle Giant. Where's the hot pink?

[@marenhaugen5283]

Oh, Caroline will be great once she gets the picture of how you guys do this. My humble suggestion is that each day she takes time (as I do this myself) and watch or re-watch some of your videos. I can't stress enough the value of watching what you guys do, then listening to how you explain stuff. Caroline has done so many great things with her birds, I really think it would help her. The Master class videos especially. My husband even gets it when we watch those. By the way, Glory really likes Dave, did you see how she wanted to come over to him at the end of the video here? Love you guys, Maren and Captian Nemo.

[@macman6421]

I can understand Caroline's reaction at 13:40 where Glory jumped onto her as that is a first step in getting Glory to learn to fly. I have made many of the mistakes that Caroline has made myself so I would not judge her too harshly but I do hope Caroline later learnt that she needs to take the instruction more seriously and concentrate on what she is being told.
