5 Reasons to Use PERMISSION BASED TRAINING With Parrots

Dave getting Sven to go straight onto the perch so fast even Sven looks at his feet like 'wtf just happened' 🤣🤣

I have learned I’m fascinated to watch but don’t have it in me to be a bird owner 😊

[@90sarcadefighter5]

I'm thinking of the long term commitment when able. Partner and I are able to cater to what a Parrot needs and deserves. This channel is an absolute god send and a wealth of information! Thanks to you all @Birdtricks

[@lanxu2209]

We don't have a bird yet but I am thinking about getting an eclectus. I am the kind of person who always overthinking and over-research. I really enjoy watching BirdTricks Training sessions ❤️ thanks so much team 🥂

[@shenzielover]

Showing him the confusing signals with the high-five demonstration was an awesome way to explain how he should be presenting his hand for step up. He got it right away, great job! Love love loovee watching these

[@camdennciramii]

OMG Jamie you had me dying laughing when you were showing him how to properly do the step up command! Your face gave me life lol. Love you guys!!

I got the impression it was things they’d been trying to say for awhile now

[@anitaangyal4644]

This man loves his bird to bits and you can tell, it's a delight to watch, and the bird seems more than happy to work! So adorable how, after the "high5" example, he stretches out his foot cuz he can't wait to step up :D I love it

[@kellyharney2385]

This parrot is a saint! The family is super sweet but that energy had me anxious just watching it. Some owners jump in with commands way before they’re done talking. I LOVE that Jamie doesn’t sugarcoat and is honest and direct.

[@RiverCrystal]

This might sound weird, but I'm having some anxiety right now and these videos really help. It's informative and gives my brain something else to focus on, and seeing the birds just makes me happy.

[@brettkreider18]

This was awesome, I love when you took his hand 🤚🏼 and showed him hands on. I feel like a lot of people are hands on learners! I feel like that was the “ahha” moment ! You rock!

[@jennsinkona]

Since we have a single jenday, I hate making chop and keeping in fridge because I always waste a bunch . I’ve been making a large batch, once a month and freeze in ice cube trays. I’ll take one out at night and leave in fridge so it’s thawed for my husband to give him in the morning (since I work very early) It has worked out great for us ! And Sven is an awesome name!

[@taylorstyron9322]

That is such a good idea with the ice trays! I've never thought of that! I have a pineapple green cheek. Is 1 cube enough for your jenday?? I never know how much chop to give without wasting some!

[@esoteric9333]

I use plastic egg cartons for my grey and eclectus. About 2 compartments is good for my grey, twice that for the eclectus.

I thought it was funny because it was obvious his wife had done the viewing, with the whole not letting the bird use it's beak to get up etc comments, but was having trouble getting her husband to listen to her or watch the videos, thus had taken him to the classes. He did seem open to learning in the end though which was good.

So great to see the Master Class part 2, they were all listening and getting problems resolved. Don't we all wish you could just beam yourselves over for flight classes lol, maybe one day. I was watching a program last night from Australia, and the location was Bondi beach, (automatically thought of your beautiful Galah), I guess you've got me trained too. Thank you for sharing.

[@Stephen8454]

I totally sympathise with the gentleman with the Macaw. I mean he is clearly in love with that bird its hard not to smother him with whatever he wants, lol but that is why we are learning

[@robertblackwell9919]

For everyone watching these awesome videos, looking for the complete, in depth guides that BirdTricks provides, click the "SHOW MORE" link below the description. Super helpful! 20:04 Jamieleigh, I just wanted to personally thank you for clearing up the reason you and your husband decide to omit the more technical instructions concerning flight training, etc. I respectfully agree that BirdTricks wouldn't be responsible for anything I might do in ignorance, but sadly, without your explanation, there are some that might think that. They're silly people. You're very professional and honest. As for the tips you DO give us, I should like to point out that, at 17:44, I can just barely hear Dave whisper, "I know I don't know how to explain it." Within a matter of seconds, you slid in and corrected the issue, and the gentleman repeatedly succeeded with the step up. 18:48 Dave's giving you the ^5. Hah. You two do such a wonderful job together! These FREE videos that you three, I had to include Capri, share with us, might give us lucky viewers an equally educational, albeit different guide about how important TEAMWORK is when living with other humans and our feathered friends. Again, thank you.

[@courtneysatisfaction]

So amazing how small changes in body language make such a HUGE difference. Keep it up Jamie and Dave! You guys are amazing. Wish we could see more of those Eccys!!

[@aprilstimson4679]

Thank you so so much for sharing this video. I take care of 7 rescue parrots where I work, which are 2 blue & gold macaw, one military macaw, one Amazon, a umbrella cockatoo, a Moluccan Cockatoo and a Mobrella cockatoo. The female blue & gold has gotten attached to me very much so but I also have been trying to figure out how to get her to get off of my shoulder when she does get on my shoulder because it is a real task. She has very many habits that I have been trying to figure out how to break. Her habit that bothers me the most is when she starts scolding herself saying get out bad bird and she does this thing like she is angry by jerking her head like she is chopping at the air with her beak, all while continuing to scold saying various things over and over and making sure she adds we have a problem

We did end up doing an in home with Aj and Sven, and I posted that 3-part series on my patreon if you wanted to watch it. Pretty cool! www.patreon.com/birdtricks but yeah, it would be neat to follow up and video those with everyone... guess we gotta go back to OZ 😉

[@michelehemlokhexwhite4310]

I can definitely say, as a performer working with birds, if I use the Birdtricks method of feeding, the value of sunflower seeds is a TEN compared to 24/7 food availability, which definitely reduces treat value. My parrot did her first show yesterday; she was super motivated, calm and happy to interact with the audience. Thanks, Jaimie and Dave ❤❤❤

[@SeabassFishbrains]

Sven is adorable!! I wont allow myself to adopt a macaw until I'm no longer a renter (and that's going to be quite a while) but those darn blue and golds pull on my heart so much!

[@mimthyss]

It's strange that they are clearly fans as they have found your course to pay and sign up for and clearly they took part but yet they're doing all sorts of strange things. The diet was especially shocking, but I guess people find it hard to resist sharing when their bird sits nearby begging to try it or whatever? :0 it's good that they came to learn though! They're clearly more than willing to take on board what youre saying and are happy to scrap the mistakes of the past, or at least they seem to want to do that haha. So yay! These were great videos, I love seeing your classes and sessions with people!

[@billh1935]

Thanks for all your great videos......Really enjoy watching them. More importantly, our 18 yr. old Double Yellow Headed Amazon “Ares” loves watching them too. I’m sorry if I am asking a question you have been asked a million times (or done videos about). It’s time for Ares to get a new cage (main large cage). He has been in a very large dome style cage made by California Cage Co. for 10+ years. We were/are very happy with the build quality of the cage but they don’t seem to be made anymore. We will be replacing his main cage. He has others in different rooms to give him a change of environment from time to time. So, the million dollar question is who makes good, safe and quality cages these days. Looking online there are so many to choose from. If you read reviews it is amazing how cages can have so many good and bad reviews at the same time. Do you have any opinions you are willing to share on what cage companies you think make quality safe cages for Amazon parrots? Thank You. Bill

[@mariemcgrath7619]

Again great video. I have suspended outside aviaries over bricks & like you clean with pressure hose. Your set-up is fantastic. How often do you worm your birds ? Have many wild birds around so have to be careful health wise.

[@WillBlueAnimalTraining]

golden info

[@ConnieTurner-k3t]

According to this class,you said to not leave pellet food out all the time,right ? I feed her first thing in the morning veggies,eggs,peppers. So should I ditch the fruit flavored pellets until nighttime ?

[@marylynnberney3751]

So, fairly new bird owner here seems we need to change a few things. In regards to diet, Dave talked about the fresh mix in the morning cause they are hungry, so do I remove food from the cage for the entire night. Is there a way I could get you recipes?

[@rachelperrone1260]

Hello I love your channel, and everything you do. I was wondering if you could do a video of how to retame birds. I have two budgies ones a baby and the others a couple months old, they both were tamed, but I went away for a couple of days, and gave them to friends with a aviary with 12 cockatiels, but now they are terrified of me I am not sure what to do.

[@한잔-k1v]

so if i understand well i should give only chop in the morning and then wait for the evening to give pellets and that's it? i still try to figure when to feed what to my birds

[@togofar]

This video made me realize how difficult your job can be - not because of the birds.

Do Parrots react to emf's? I know that they affect us and other animals Cats like the negative areas and dogs react better to the positive energy but I have found nothing on parrots.

[@stephaniecartwright9495]

I have a 5 month old African Grey and shoulder rushes also. But she hates me holding her feet and bites my fingers if I try to. Any suggestions guys?

[@EmL-kg5gn]

Definitely try what they said about diet, sleep, clear signals and holding your hand higher so she can’t walk up your arm as easily! If you can do it consistently hopefully it will help I know I wouldn’t like someone grabbing my feet so I couldn’t run 😭😂 I can see why many birds don’t appreciate it either!

[@muttenmong5509]

it just came into my mind that all the birds in the backyard call me out and ask permission before the come on the feeders, the finches do, it seems to me the flock birds do as they organise the whole feeding proces, pecking order, which is about safety

[@Launiemitchell5175]

Do u hold cockatiels like that also or just big birds

[@jhonmartinez8954]

Can Australian parakeets train or take free flight with them?

[@TetraTerezi]

you should rarely need to demand a trained animal to do something. you can typically nicely ask and get a much better reaction. horses, dogs and birds all just want to feel safe and un threatened. treat em as an equal who needs guidance.

[@cre8iveflare]

"WTF!" at 13:21 as he takes off, did anyone else hear it?

[@sannedieseltje]

Can anyone explain what the 12 hours of sleep is based on? I thought wild birds went to sleep at sunset and rose at sunrise. In winter, that can easily be 12 hours, but during the summer, that's sometimes less than 8...

[@esoteric9333]

The reason is that winter season. 8 hours signals to the bird it is summer, and they need to get on breeding asap! 12 hours makes them think it's the off season, so they are less likely to get hormonal and aggressive.

[@sannedieseltje]

@@esoteric9333 oh, that does make sense. Thank you!

[@BirdTricks]

Yes, you can get my recipe books in hard copy or digital download birdtricksstore.com/collections/health-and-diet that’s the link 💜

[@esoteric9333]

If you can't afford the book atm, rule of thumb is about 2-3 dark greens (broccoli, kale, spinach, etc), 2 orange veggies (carrot, sweet potato, squash, etc) and 1 or 2 other colors (beet, red peppers, turnip, radish, etc). I generally go for a 50/50 split of greens and other colors.

Uh not sure what you can find in Australia but roudy bush and Harrison's ( I think? Harringtons? Pretty sure it's the former) are pretty good apparently. Not sure about any others that's all I can remember lol. Don't actually own a bird so! :P but as long as they're cold-pressed and not packed with artificial sugars, flavourings and colours, it should hopefully be ok?

Try TOP's sold by the Parrot Society or Roudybush.

Hi I’m having trouble keeping my birds sleep schedule to twelve hours because of our lifestyle. I would like to set up a small sleeping cage in another room but as he is not fully trained and it’s hard as I don’t want to ruin the training that I have done(he gives me kisses and touch training). I also can’t keep his cage in another room as he will not leave it and I think it’s important that he gets his interaction through watching us go about our daily lives? Do you have any suggestions, thanks

[@Hdhsjajaj]

I forgot to mention that I tried covering his cage but he freaks out and will cling to the cage side or to wherever he can see light

[@vaultgirl42091]

@@Hdhsjajaj you are going to have to get him used to having his cage covered. my rescue cockatiel was the same way he did not like being covered so slowly each night I would cover it a little bit more until he got used to it and now he's perfectly fine and gets a beautiful 12 hours of sleep like my other bird 🖤

[@BirdTricks]

I have a playlist on a bird named Rasta and I crate trained him from the beginning, I would recommend doing that where you start with treats and progress to feeding meals in there so he learns to associate it as a dinner and sleeper cage that you can move into an uninterrupted room where he can get the sleep he needs.
