Can We Train Snake Discovery's Macaw to FLY?

[@roberthindle5146]

Next task: flight-train Rex.

[@mindyobusiness6257]

I heard Rex is sadly a confirmed untrainable bird

[@Lionloverky]

That honestly sounds like one of the most terrifying things I could imagine. A flying alligator, not only does it sound like a comic book. Bridges seems like something that just shouldn’t happen because it would be so terrifying. And Rex is probably the cutest alligator I’ve seen

[@iSiberianHusky]

"Collaborating?" No, they're marketing, and this sort of thing, which they've been doing far too often, is way beyond a major annoyance. Find the other bird videos that are getting the most views, and then "collaborate" with them to market to an even wider audience.

@@iSiberianHusky dude Cheyenne needed the training so what's the harm in this video?

[@iSiberianHusky]

​@@mischiefthedegenerateratto7464 Technically, every pet bird "needs" training. That's not what this is.

[@mischiefthedegenerateratto7464]

@@iSiberianHusky she was literally getting trained and they changed her diet, you could also argue that by being on the bird tricks channel itself you are watching glorified advertisements (like how they always bring up their own brand of food and toys for example even with people who aren't KZbinrs) so if you don't like that then leave, you also didn't seem to mention how they did a video with Mikey the Macaw and friends which could also be seen as marketing for the channel but oh no you go after snake discovery? Both channels I mentioned as well got the same treatment and education as a non KZbinr/ non quote unquote "famous person" so what's your issue? It shouldn't matter what's being done at the end of the day as long as the bird is being cared for properly.

[@CanisLupus1987]

Yes. I have wanted to see you Help Cheyenne for years! I am so happy to see you collab

[@zebraloverbridget]

Cheyenne reminds me of my dog: she has no problem doing what she's being asked to do but is just stubborn about trying to do it the first few times. Once you get past those few times they pick up on stuff very fast though. Only difference is my dog will start doing other things i have taught her in an attempt to get a treat the "easy way" vs Cheyenne just chilling on the counter. (the tricks she tries are not always physically easy compared to what I want her to do)

[@jmdenison]

Anyway I absolutely love seeing my sweater design being used on Cheyenne. That's still pretty cool. And yes my birds wear my sweater designs

[@jmdenison]

Excellent. And you?

[@carschmn]

It’s cute how she just sits there with Dave like “I’m watching you.”

[@finestmindcanine]

I am a dog trainer who desperately wants a parrot, and I absolutely LOVE watching your videos. It's fascinating to get to see the overlaps and differences in training a dog vs a parrot. Love how you explain the concept of pressure- and the absolute importance of finding the right pressure level and not over-doing it- to help push an animal into a behavior you want from them. I've been watching Snake Discovery build their zoo, too, so it's cool to get to see a parrot be trained that I've seen in other contexts ❤️❤️

[@andhikalandau]

Beat collab everr!!! Omg training a plucker bird is such a hard thing to do,so cool🤩

[@MrJdubz100]

Why is training a bird that plucks different from any other bird?

[@mischiefthedegenerateratto7464]

@@MrJdubz100 because plucking is always anxiety/stress ridden so getting a bird that used to be terrified of people flying to people is a huge deal

[@MrJdubz100]

Yes or medical related in some cases. I guess I’m still not seeing how thats different. My African Gray when I first adopted her 10 years ago was a big plucker. She isn’t any longer. My Catalina Macaw is an overpreener and barberer. I didn’t treat them any differently from my Senegal, a non plucking or barbering bird when it comes to training. There was no “training for pluckers”.

[@mehere8038]

@@mischiefthedegenerateratto7464 So any ideas how to get my little plucker to tollerate my hand moving after she's stepped up? I've actually given up on step up, I got her to do it after many, many months of work, but the second I moved my hand with her on it, she totally freaked out & returned to refusing to step up with her second foot. I worked with her again, got her confident in 2 foot step up, kept doing it daily for about a month, then tried moving my hand slightly again & again total reversion & refusal, so yeh, I've just given up after persevering for SO long & not getting anywhere, but I really wish she would trust me enough that I could pick her up & move her around, or even have her sit on my shoulder. I know she'd like it if she'd do it, but she's just too freaked out from years of abuse to be willing to trust a human on anything like that, she wants to be in full control of her movements

[@mischiefthedegenerateratto7464]

@@mehere8038 I'm sorry I don't own birds only ferrets and cats, all I can suggest is maybe some safe paste based food so she learns to lick or something?

[@ChaosTsuki]

Omg I'm so happy! After watching bird tricks, one day I came back to watch the same video Jamie watched, and I noticed the handling too. So when I saw the community post about the colab, I knew it was going to be touched upon. Cheyenne never fails to amaze me on how quickly she picks up on things, and Emily and Ed are great bird parents. I can't wait to see more Cheyenne amidst the baby snakes and egg videos this year! Thank you so much Dave, Jamie and Capri! For the amazing content. I've been using some of these principles to also train my dog

[@JamKriCarEmm]

Where did you get the chest sweater. I have 2 Green Cheeks that pluck down to the down feathers. And I wonder if that would work as each pluck their chest and then they pluck each others back/neck feathers. We have tried everything under the sun including anxiety meds, $600 laser therapy, Pluck no more spray added to their water dish and on their feathers. Our oldest is also getting mean and when out, she will fly to you and rub her head on your face and hand, but then out of nowhere she will attack me and bite sometimes drawing blood. And if I grab her, she will chomp down on my hand.

[@Drux.i]

@@JamKriCarEmm Emily had a fan hand make them for her, they sent her a huge box of them specifically made to fit her bird. :)

[@dreamagination-infinite]

Cheyenne is amazing! She's such a fast learner. It brought tears of joy to my eyes seeing her making that first flight from the counter, and so precious to watch her confidence grow, so inspiring! 💛🦜💙

[@high-bi-password]

Omg YES!!! The collab we’ve all been waiting for!!!! She looked SO content towards the end of the video sitting on Emily’s hand! Her reward pathways were LIGHTING UP hahaha, I love seeing that look on their faces and the accompanying body language. So satisfying ❤️❤️❤️

[@YKorNL]

Knowing that she took that flight from the countertop (already watched SD's video) makes watching this even more fun. Go! GO GO! hahahaha she is such a cool bird :D

[@Nika44]

Yay my two favorite channels collab :D I am glad that you helped Cheyenne, I know that Ed and Emily are amazing bird parents but everyone needs opinion from people like you from time to time, and training bird that is plucked so much and not so confident must be harder. I am sad that I can't bring Bruno to you, so you could meet him, but sadly I am from Europe so no way :/ But I am glad that I can ask you for your opinion through an e-mail. I am grateful for all the advice i've got from you, because even though I keep parrots for over 20 years now, I've learned so much with past 9 months with Bruno and watching your channel and few other channels. One most important thing, that changed how quick my quaker got used to me, apart from being hand fed, was the fact that you taught me that leaving new bird for few days alone to 'get used to new place' is stupid thing that results in bird being familiar with everything in the room except you. And of course I've learned few tricks how to remove pesticides from veggies and fruits - my biggest fear with giving grocery store food to my bird - and also you helped me to choose food for my parrot :D And yes, he now think that Hagen Harri pellets are treats and he accepts those as a reward, but Bruno is amazing, he accepts carrot/lettuce/pumpkin seed and other seeds/nuts as a reward, he also accepts voice as a reward, when I tell him 'good bird', he also, sometimes tell 'good bird' to himself when he do the trick. Thank you once more and awesome collab!

MY TWO FAVORITE KZbinRS HAVING AN AMAZING COLLAB? FINALLY!

[@andrewc.2952]

Cheyenne: what's really going on inside that walnut brain. Special post flight training interview from Snake Discovery spokesbird at 11. 📺 😂

[@Dovietail]

To nonbird people, considering it progress that an animal begins to take treats rather than ceases to take treats as part of their training seems a step backwards. We consider a dog to have advanced when he doesn't look for the treat but rather for the praise when the behavior is correct.

[@MrJdubz100]

Dogs are very different from parrots. Parrots for the most part do not care about pleasing people, it is not in their nature. Their attitude is more of “whats in this for me?” And so we offer treats. Its harder to train a bird that is not motivated by treats but it is possible if it is motivated by praise or affection.

[@jjgnva]

I watched you on Snake Discovery and had to come here to let you know how happy I am to see my two favorite KZbinrs together! AND on another note, I purchased a sprayer from you, for my two kittens. NO not to punish them, but they love getting misted. I bought a second one for my daughter's room so one is always available. AND they just love it. We say, "Spray" and they both come to us and squint their little eyes and get ready. Today was field day at my school, and I brought them to spray my students and cool them off. They were a big hit there too. So a bunch of thumbs up and a huge positive review on the spray bottles!

[@lunaandstella825]

Haha, that first time on the counter she was trying to and you saw her thinking ‘am I going to land on my face or will it work?” Priceless to see her gain confidence and actually becoming a ‘trainable’ bird.

[@jinxgirl5]

Coming here from the Snake Discovery video. It was so cool to watch Cheyenne's progress over just a weekend! I've never had a pet bird, they just require too much for me to feel like it's a responsible option, but I love watching videos of them and seeing their antics and personalities. On a slightly unrelated note, Emily is so tall! I remember her mentioning she's close to 6', but usually she's alone in the camera perspective of their videos, or sitting, so it never really hit until I saw the shot of all of you against the mural wall.

[@GuyG.KTalesOfAnimals]

I read this “can we train a snake to fly?״ My Chako is 32 years old, and doesn’t transport by flying, his only flights off are when he’s spooked or over heightened. Doesn’t use flight intentionally. Just after cleaning up his his diet to completely natural diet, healthy and balanced, got him to do his first intentional hop (he was so enthusiastic about getting weighed on our weighing platform), I am always happy to see older parrots learn to use their body intentionally and be more physically active, it seems like diet can be a major part of the challenge apparently.

I Just had this thought of this combo this morning watching snake discovery! Great minds!

You did such a great job with Cheyenne! I never thought I would see her doing so much flying! I am still in awe over what you did with her! What would you recommend for a Sr. Citizen Cocktail???
