She’s so cute and smart! This video was so fun to watch!

[@sarabrown9179]

I LOVE WIDGET!!! She's my favorite from the first day I saw her, she's just the cutest smartest SWEETEST little bird I've ever seen 😍 I feel like she loves being praised as much as getting treats! Such a doll! 🥰❤😘😍

[@jennigthatonecrazydoglady8100]

She is so stinking cute and WHIP smart!

[@kalpanarohilla7343]

Superb 👏

[@annebritraaen2237]

Widget seem to become exited when you were preparing for the second session. I think that's why she tried to follow you- in case it was part of the training. It's like she get a kick out of figuring you out.

[@Ansonidak]

I think 'figuring you out' is a game for them - learning to work the system. My green cheek has gotten quite good at anticipating what I'm going to ask him to do. Also certain behaviors will often earn a treat even if I didn't ask him to do it, because it's a behavior I want to encourage.

[@mariemcgrath8681]

I know Caiques are super intelligent, but you are also a 'super' trainer ....

[@derind9191]

just brought home my second cockatiel, crazy how small she is. there is only a 10 gram difference between her and my other cockatiel, but it looks like she is half the size of my other one.

[@kimzu4009]

my budgie did the spin from one try, I was shocked 😅😂

[@ishansingh5730]

Hi Jamie, Love ur vids currently in the process of taming my budgies, should i tame multiple at once or would u recommend taming the one at a time

[@gogogagaasa]

its much easier to tame one at a time

[@BirdTricks]

Working with one budgie at a time is what I would recommend. They do learn from observation though so if it is not distracting for the one you are working with the other can be near by observing, which may make the training session with the second one even easier. Not always the case, but you could try it.

[@wessew6185]

One of my four budgies is doing very well at dropping a ball in a basket. The others start looking but demand the millet treat without doing the work.

[@ishansingh5730]

@@BirdTricks Thank you ❤

[@2Ryled]

She wanted to be picked up, that was what she was saying when she picked up her foot. She didn't want to spin any more. She wanted cuddles

[@zarailias5120]

@fatima.rose1:hi I have a Indian ringneck and he is a bird that is not trained and dose not want to be peted but wants to be by humans. can you take him and train

[@rondellplays144]

Noiceee🔥😂😂

[@wwaxwork]

The way she picks her foot up you'd be able to teach her to wave in no time too I bet.

[@jennyyeet8052]

I have a caique parrot and I got him a week ago and first we was so scared then I did the trick where I put my hand in the cage for 5-10 minutes a day and now when I go near him he starts being aggressive can someone please help me ?

[@SpontaneousSketches]

I taught my cockatiel to spin in under a minute, I'm not sure how he picked it up so fast. On the other hand, it took him 10+ training sessions to learn how to flip upside down lol

[@tokamohamed4078]

Birds are pile that sometimes. Once I was fostering 2 pretty timid budgies and I was teaching the to target. I swear I tried it once and they were pretty scared of the stick so I stopped and thought I'd try again tomorrow. I try the next day and one of them just started following the stick I have no idea how it's like he read my mind

[@Loveofpets]

Widget is so smart 😍

[@aresthesunconure2135]

My lil conure must be a savant. Lol. He learns everything so quickly. I've had him 6mths, he'll be a year old next month.. we've learned Wave, wings, shake, spin both ways, lay on back flat or in hand, rollover, 2colors of ring toss so far, quarter in bank/shot glass, find the ace(8cards so far), fetch and or fly ball back to my hand. It's almost cheating, when we have you and Dave as teachers.

[@deborahbenedict6089]

I love watching, I would like advice on my Rosella, she was flying wild and we caught her. She seems ht

[@brickellegregory7693]

Omg so sweet. I love Caiques! Also, I love the new editing style on the video. The little bubbles around the text throughout the video were adorable.

[@תהלהעזאני]

Hi, I have a one-year-old male caique And he really likes to play with us in bites. He likes to climb on our heads and bite our noses and ears. Is there anything to do? He's really naughty .... 

[@Dzedemina]

I enjoy videos like this 🙉

[@susanhopkins7073]

Are there any updates/pictures of Widget that you could post?

[@Ella_168]

I’m thinking of to rescue a parrot should i do it i already have 2 but i could keep the rescued in another room and let them bond later on. Should i do it thoo?

[@LASHLYFELLC]

I would love to see some videos for rainbow 🌈 lorikeets , since there is not much videos

[@eehhhh9107]

Hello i have a IRN parakeet and was wondering if you would recommend them for free flight? I just have one tho....and have seen in some videos where they were let to fly alone..

[@spiritmatter1553]

I’m ignorant about birds but do you follow Chatterbox Parrots? They’re a flock of IRNs and super talkative and cute. You’re so lucky to have one.

[@eehhhh9107]

@@spiritmatter1553 yeah I know them and I often showed her their videos to encourage her to talk but soon she started becoming kinda harmonal towards them so I stopped it.... She doesn't talk but I totally accept it.

What are you feeding widget for trick traning?

Hi I have a Catalina scarlet green wing mix macaw

[@Beardaholick]

I can't seem to get my train my ringneck to target and she wont like me touch her but she gets on my hands and loves sitting on my shoulder, she wont eat from my hands but will keep staring if I'm getting her apples (dw i remove the seeds), and also she screams whenever I leave to the bathroom, I understand that birds will bond under their comfort and that might take time but I would like some advice on how to move forward with it Note: she's scared from letting me touch her but not my hands, like she gets on my hand but wouldn't let me give her head rubs (im starting to think it might be her personality which is totally understandable and fine with me) Some more info on her: She was born with a bent foot (according to the pet shop owner) but seems to walk pretty normally and actually uses the bent foot to hold her food with, she was extremely scared of any human to come near her that on the first day home she seemed VERRY paranoid of any little thing, she wouldn't leave her cage (I left it open for 3 days in the room until she walked out on her own) she was 5 months old when I got her, she's 6 now. A lot has changed and shes very comfortable around me and actually would call for attention when she wants it, otherwise she's always on top of cage jumping around Apart from all that she now seems very happy and knows her sleepy time an hour after sundown usually that she goes back in by herself Im just lost on how to move forward with getting to the actual turning such as targeting, or stepping up

[@eehhhh9107]

finally someone i can relate to even my IRN never lets me touch her neither does she ever talk but i accepted it anyways.but if asked for training she is a damn good learner she learned to do fetch in just 2 sessions but yes they do need a lot of time at start.....

[@macthejumperminpin1837]

Bird tricks please put a love bird video

[@atlantisitecrystal]

Do you have a video on how to teach a caique to flip?

[@Schmusekatchen]

Totally unrelated to this video (which was super cute by the way) There is a KZbin that is in desperate need of help with his macaw. He hand raised her and now she is totally different and super Agressive towards anyone. She literally attacks him and he doesn’t know what to do, so the poor bird has to be in a cage all day long. I thought about you guys right away. His name is Tyler Nolan and he could really benefit of some professional help.

[@NickanM]

Why don't you look in the description box? All information is listed there. 😋

[@shawnpetersen2501]

Hi Jamie, Fascinating, I have really enjoyed watching your videos, have background in training dogs do not have a bird. Do you only teach the spin in one direction?

[@Haltijanainen]

That was soooo adorable!! 😍

[@hajeeravirus8839]

Jamie what do you use as a treat??

[@Lucas-ub3fy]

wow thats awesome

[@cadenpage7175]

What are you using as a reward? I use millet but it's so messy.

[@CargoPants901]

It looks like bird friendly nuts

[@summas3145]

its so hard to find pine nuts and the soft safe wood (Basswood) for parrots to chew on in Canada :'( even american amazon has those supplies barely any place in canada ugh. Edit: I literally just found pine nuts on walmart :O but...wayyyy more expensive than almonds O.o

[@tangothebubbypuppychicken526]

Oh yeah - pine nuts are $$$$ but of COURSE my birds won't take any other nuts as treats...except pistachios...which are also $$$ lol! Both of mine will turn their snobby little noses at anything less hahaha

[@summas3145]

@@tangothebubbypuppychicken526 i just realized througha rabbit hole the nuts in pinecones are pine nuts and deep inside requiring a shake...we have pine trees lol 😂. I always thought it was such a waste for pinecones to drop on the floor for nothing

[@lorip3939]

What is a pine nut? Are they healthy for birds?

[@BirdTricks]

A pine nut is a nut that comes from pine trees. They are a healthy nut (actually a seed) that are good to be used as a treat for training but too high in fat to be a part of the daily diet provided in the cage.
