Fennel's journey taught me so much and it shows how differently you have to train each individual bird and the patience required to do it! Loved her journey!

[@Mudpuppy9722]

Isn't it funny how we may meet a person, get to know them a little bit, or maybe it's that vibe you get when you first meet them, and you know, they are not friend material. But yet we get a critter, and just expect we're going to dig each other just because we picked them out. We never give it a thought that they didn't pick us, and given the choice they would rather be elsewhere.

[@mischiefthedegenerateratto7464]

My cats only like me though?

[@FukaiKokoro]

No offense as I have three cats but IMO parrots are much more socially intelligent creatures than cats.

[@mischiefthedegenerateratto7464]

Why are you acting like a fact is offensive? I'm hardly gonna start getting offended on behalf of my cats

[@justb4769]

Wow I never thought about it that way! It makes perfect sense! I try to not get my feelings hurt when my dog will sit in my mother's lap but not mine, but it doesn't times.

[@MrDlt123]

I agree. My African Grey actually 'picked' me. Out of about 9 in the indoor aviary, she would always come to the door as soon as I walked into the building. Ive had her for 16 years now. You still have to wotk at the relationship even if they enjoy your company, but that initial attraction definitely helps with initial training.

[@bkm2797]

Sounds like Chelsea has the right attitude and that really helps. So glad Fennel has a fresh start, and hopefully at some point you will do an update. Thanks Jamie and Chelsea.

[@haleybushey4289]

Im personally seeing the opposite from Chelsea. She doesnt seem to understand the process or how to respect and communicate with Fennel. Her daughter seems to be way more in tune with birds. Chelsea does not seem like a bird person in any way. She definitely could be a great owner but Im really not seeing this as a beneficial situation for the bird

[@bkm2797]

@@haleybushey4289 Another reason to hopefully see an update! Thinking her daughter lives there, so maybe Fennel will get the right blend of support. Female Electus have a challenging personality to say the least, at least that has been my experience, but I'm they now have a solid foundation thanks to Jamie.

[@haleybushey4289]

@@bkm2797 Agreed, hopefully Chelsea can work out their problems. I trust Jamie to do the best thing for Fennel but I definitely have worries about Chelsea losing the progress Fennel has made.

[@user-kl8lo6rj5i]

Fennel is an Eclectus, and a hen at that. They are a different breed. So beautiful and so intelligent. It's great that the owner is getting a grip on what she's gotten herself into right from the start, because an Eclectus hen can quickly figure out that she is smarter than you and then you're screwed. For life. Talking from experience.

[@Ali-T1]

I'm actually sad Fennel is going home 😥. I could see how disappointed Chelsea was, that she was hoping for an immediate improvement - which we all would. I hope Chelsea and Fennel are able to work together and that Fennel is able to be the companion bird Chelsea so dearly wants 💙

[@kiki29073]

I think it hurt her feelings when Fennel didn't take to her more quickly than her other ones did. I know it can be frustrating. But, as Kir.amd.Dave has said some birds take to one person than another for some reason. If I remember correctly, Jamie felt kind of that way when one of theirs that was supposed to be more her bird took to Dave more instead of her.

[@Jeb9221]

I don't know how you manage. It's so hard to let each one go 😢

Thats got to be hard. You put alot of work into fennel and developed a bond with you and she was really happy with you. I hope everything works out.

Thank you for sharing this adventure. There was so much to learn from this.

[@anthonyharvey2977]

She is cute and I think she'll do good and you did awesome Jamie

We're going to miss you fennel you beautiful girl you! Hopefully you find the bond you need with your people and yall really start to understand each other! They're trying so hard for you! Be a good girl fennel!!

[@zach9962]

I love watching your training vids because they don't just teach you to train, they teach you how different birds and bird species react to training. What an awesome channel thank you

[@aresthesunconure2135]

Just remember. Reward every good action. Any time you ask for a step up, it's rewarded. Anything you do, is rewarded. And yes!!! The diet is most important... Otherwise, how can you give them a treat :)

[@Jennynewton3129]

Man if someone took the time to tame my bird I’d at least hug the trainer and be more appreciative and be more friendlier because Jamie took her time and gave love to that bird. It wasn’t easy I bet to see the bird go home.

[@cindychapman5900]

I had the same emotional response as you. I would have been thanking Jamie over and over. However, maybe we should think about the interaction that was not filmed to be shown to the public. Also, perhaps Fennel’s owner would be more of a “Fennel” personality if she were a bird, rather than a cockatoo.😂 I just saw Jamie using her awesome perception and skills, as always, to effect an amazing level of change. I wish Fennel and her family and flock lots of success.

[@incanusolorin2607]

Isn't she paid to do this?

[@cindychapman5900]

@@incanusolorin2607 There’s cash pay and the intrinsic pay of feeling appreciated. Most folks have more job satisfaction if they get some of both.😂

[@incanusolorin2607]

@@cindychapman5900 Agreed! I was honestly asking if she helped the bird as charity or as part of her business, but I clearly didn't phrased it right haha Sorry and thanks for clarifying

[@cindychapman5900]

@@incanusolorin2607 Like you, I have no idea if people pay for her help or it the costs for food, etc. are funded by her Patreon supporters. Anyway I look at it, she is amazing and Dave too. I would call them “bird brains” because they understand and read bird language so well….but I guess that slang would be an insult😄

[@nadeembirdsfarm7222]

Bye bye finel eclectus parrot go to home nice video 👌👍💝💞

[@MrDlt123]

I think positivity is everything with parrots. - If you have the right attitude and confidence, they'll respond to it. My daughter (now away at college) was always hesitant to pick up my African Grey, and that resulted in her pulling her pulling her hand back b/c she didnt want to get bitten. I told her "Think about how quickly you'd lose confidence in a particular elevator if it had a habbit of suddenly and randomly dropping 3 feet when you were getting on." IMO, learning to read their body language, and projecting confidence and positive energy really helps with training. Also helps when dealing with most intelligent animals, as well as people.

[@iluvdogs26]

Bye Fennel! We all love her but we are all glad she’s going home :)

[@dogologyaz5625]

Language is powerful. “Everything with her is so slow” is negative and that makes the approach toward her negative. Don’t compare her to other birds. She is who she based on genetics, her experiences and learned patterns.

[@sayurikitamura7109]

What an amazing video and journey

Sad but necessary goodbie

@birdtricks Hi Jamieleigh! Love the Fennel saga! PLUS - Found another thing that reminds me of Rocky. Will mail it to you soon - maybe it will wind up in the previously sent bird bag set. All the best - Lynn

Good job 👍👍❤️

[@sjleo799]

Yip that was abit sad.

[@lhmcd5538]

I noticed Fennels mother did things like step up when Fennel is used to the right hand. Does this make a difference?Edit: Hugs to you Jamie. Of course it’s hard to say goodbye as you have worked with her a for a long time and formed a bond. Best wishes for all.

[@justrandomthoughts4233]

Hii are we going to get cockatiel content soon?? Love content as usual!! ❤❤

[@troysterbling4434]

It is strange to me that people here are so judgemental of a 5 min clip of this lady and the saying she is a bad owner. You people have no idea what this lady is like in person. She isn't some social media personality. She went from Houston Texas to Idaho to get help with Fennel. I hope you guys are much nicer in person than on here. It's insane!

I would want to see her owner emote her voice or hype it up a little more, when she should say "great job"! She doesn't sound excited, and sounds soooo monotone. She needs to hype Fennel up a little! I don't think it's good for Fennel.

I feel line fennel will lose all that was achieved with her… I cringed when she asked her to do a step up, fennel did and she was just like “oh,ok”

[@spuilloh2637]

Cause people who watch this channel are somehow shockingly toxic considering how otherwise wholesome the content seems to be. Leave this poor woman alone jfc.

[@whats_herName]

I just don't feel the love with this family. Jamie, I admire your heart and love for bird 'hopefuls' and the hard work and time you put in. Some birds only do as good as their 'owners' enthusiasm for their success.

[@spuilloh2637]

People in the comment section here are judging this woman so hard without knowing her, while at the same time claiming that the entire problem with the bird is that the woman is judging it's behaviour without knowing it properly. She cares enough for the bird to go out and get a professional trainer, pay the huge amounts of money that probably requires, and she obviously cares enough to get sad that the bird doesn't seem to love her or be affectionate towards her. How can you say she doesn't care? So many people that watch this channel seem to know literally nothing about birds or training, and just enjoy reveling in this holier-than-thou attitude that watching these videos give them. Shame on you, honestly.

[@chelsearandall5601]

@@spuilloh2637 I appreciate your support. I'm reading these comments wondering how I came across so ungrateful and disinterested. I love Fennel! And I love Jamie! What isn't on any of these videos is the first 6 months of life with Fennel. The lunging, growling, biting, attacking... the small approximations I had to do (seconds at a time, inches at a time)... another professional trainer (who worked the bird training program at the Houston Zoo)... the progress we made so Fennel could be outside her cage, picked up by a hand, motivated by treats, and be around toys. I did not expect Jamie to turn Fennel into the companion bird I spoke about. I expected Jamie to (and she did!) figure out if Fennel needs to be an aviary bird, or if she could possibly develop into a pet. Fennel and I have a lot of history, it's true. And because of that, I SO want this little bird to get everything out of life that she can. I'm extremely grateful to Jamie (sorry we didn't hug on camera :) ), and I'm very interested in Fennel developing into the best bird she can be. Maybe it didn't come across on camera to people who don't know me - I care so much about getting this right, and I care so much about my beautiful, little ekkie hen who holds all the cards.

@@chelsearandall5601 Hi Chelsea, just remember that more than 7000 people watched that video and only a few made a comment on how they feel about you.
