How Did My Friend Get All My Parrots To Like Her? PARROT TALK

[@Megan.Leigh.V]

What a testament to Naora’s beautiful character; that she had the patience and perseverance to understand each individual bird and their needs in order to create beautiful and unique bonds with each bird! She seems to be one of those old souls full of wisdom and compassion.

The little bird on her shoulder acts like he is listening and he understands. He acts like a counselor you should give him a pen and pad. He just looks so intense and it is so interested in what you are saying.

Whoever edits these videos, really has a sense of humour. Loved the bit with Jersey and Jenna’s boyfriend.

[@leighflorkevich9916]

Very informative having Naora explain how she bonds with all the birds. Each bird has their own quirks and personality like humans do. Naora is very in tune with that and knows how to work with them to make them comfortable and feel loved.

[@MARLENEMCCOHEN]

She's remarkable!

[@gwendolynalbert1984]

That bird is is hilarious. He just keeps looking at your friend he wants to hear every word that comes out of her mouth. I guess that is true because birds are auditory. He did that with you when you were teaching about how to help your birds integrate with each other. You eat, shower and watch TV together. That bird just loved to sit and listen. He is adorable 😍

[@theresilientspud]

Oh my god, Brando dozing on Naora's shoulder is adorable. Everytime she moves he wakes up and then starts dozing again... awww 😍🥰

I love when you have Noara as a guest, she's great! And the birds love her, which says a lot about her character to me 🦜❤ My lovebird used to bite when I'd put my hand in his cage, so I put a perch on the outside below the door, now I open it and let him decide when he wants to come out and he only gives love nibbles.

[@parrotsanctuary2226]

I had a cute neighbor come by and he wanted to see one of the birds. We knew him and helped with groceries. I brought down Bo, the one in my picture. He always flies over to guests and he did that with our neighbor & screamed in his ear because Bo, the eclectus, landed on his shoulder. He seems to do that specifically.

[@123rosebuds]

Brando is so drowsy--awww, her little eyes are closing. 😌

[@kevinwood5579]

When I had my Cockatiel and visiters together I would always have him in his cage, Then ask if the person was ok with him coming out and then ask the bird if he wanted to come out, Sometimes there was funny looks but I always told them that it was part of my Spiritual tradition and explained that both parties has to be comfortable. He would often say "Hello." and from there most people would talk to him.

[@MLafevers4]

This IS an important video! May sound strange but I was almost in tears watching this. I have been working with a rescue bird and was getting discouraged but hearing you two talk about establishing a relationship gave me a whole new resolve that I’m on the right track. Thank you, thank you!

Great fun and educational! Aura, has an Aura of calmness and I'm here for you type of personality, and I would think this helps you feel more at peace when you and George have to go out of town. One thing I remember making a mistake was having my parrot on my shoulder when hugging friends that were leaving, they may bite your friend, so it's always best to put them down before saying goodbye. Loved seeing Leo, Rocky, Blue, and Brando interacting while watching. Thank you Marlene for sharing.

[@megsutube1815]

Thank you. This was a perfect time for this video. Your friend is an extreamly thoughtful and intuitive person. You can see her making friends with the birds in the background of many of your videos. I'm having house guests for the holidays and now I have an idea of how to introduce my birds. I want to share with you about a big change in my home. I've been working with my budgies for over a year and we've definitely bonded. I love them dearly, but have never gotten that hands on relationship that I've wanted. Sooo, I rescued a Green Cheek Conure named Milton! Well, I've been blessed with a very healthy loving bird! Interestingly, one of my Budgies has been watching and is becoming a little more physical. Kissing and stepping up on my finger when b4 I has to use a prop. He was my number 1, so I greet him as such and try to give him equal attention, but it is hard because of course, the Conure demands more supervision. Could you do a video on how to introduce birds into a house with dogs and cats? At this point I lock my dog up part of the day because he is obsessed with wanting to catch the birds. My cat is timid and hides, but she is still a cat, so I separate her too. FOR OTHER READERS:HOW DO YOU KEEP YOUR BIRDS SAFE AROUND YOUR DOGS AND CATS? THANK YOU!

[@tracyann1132]

My dog ignores our Senegal parrot because he is jealous but the bird tries to see him sometimes. I just supervise and dont get them too close. My dog hasn't ever tried to chase a squirrel or bird outside ( only cats) Guess I'm lucky that way. Keep them separate especially if your dog wants to chase your bird.

[@1KITIG]

my best friend is great with Chauko, he’s not trusting but he trusts her. every time she comes she goes and sits beside him, talk to him, tell him about her day, give him treats, he loves her so much he would voluntarily step up in her and he wouldn’t do it to anyone but me, unless treats.

Hi, Marlene! Thank you for this video with Nora! There was so much information that was very helpful to me and a good refresher. I don't know everything because I have only had cockatiels and never had many people engage with them except my one sister, Tina! Maybe someday I will have more people interested. My sister I moved in with now is almost 80 years old and my nephew has full hands with a noisy big dog! But when Tina visits she will come into my room and I let Beenie out to walk up to her when we lay on the bed and he just enjoys this very much!!! It's so good that you and Nora teach everyone about how to understand birds!!! I would love to see what Nora does when you are gone and learn how this works. I just love Nora! She is so sweet and good with birds. It's so funny how birds remember things the next day and even much longer!!! Beenie remembers things from 17 years ago!!! He remember certain music we listened to and cheeps loudly about it!!! I hadn't played it in a while. It was Arabian Knights by Sarah Brightman! Birds are highly intelligent. I love your green nail polish! It matches Brando's feathers and some of Leo's feathers! I'm so happy to see Blue warming up to you and Nora so much :))) Love, big hugs, birdie kisses.

Love ya for everything you do &I mean everything. Your my WARRIOR Woman for ALL CRITTERS BUT,PARROTS ARE LIKE PEOPLE (emotional needs ect.,ect....with the intellect above dogs,cats ect...just like a human child 🖒) Funny story : My first pineapple cheeked green Conure. When she was still a baby and couldn't fly.... I named her Zippy well... I thought what better way to socialize her SO.....I decided I'd go with an old friend to a local rocking bar. Zippy loved being passed around & would step up on anyone's finger 🤔 did she know EVERYONE JUST HAD TO TAKE A PIC OF HER PERCHED ON THEIR FINGER OR SHOULDER ? She was the most social PARROT I've ever had. Zippy never met a person she'd never greet or fly to you especially if she'd never met you. If she flew to you and said " Hey Baby what's up ?" She really liked you. Talk about a social butterfly THAT WAS HOW I SOCIALIZED MY FIRST BABY PARROT. Unconventional yep but,it made her so special and loved by every human she'd ever met. Lots of behavior I'd never tell people about cause she liked CENTER STAGE 😂 BIG BREASTS,BEER BELLY MMMMM....(Zipppy:I can watch everyone since I'm sitting where it's comfy unlike my Moms shoulder which BLOCKS my view of all the guests 😂). Sometimes you get a PARROT with an UNBELIEVABLE intellect and Zippy completely blew me away R.I.P ZIPPY MY LOVE 💘💘💘💘

Question for Part II - I have an orange winged amazon who I can do almost anything with. He sometimes tries to regurgitate for me even. However as soon as my husband enters the room he tries to attack me. He begs ( like a baby bird) for my hubby and flares his tale and flashes his eyes. My hubby is not interested in parrots really and only does what I ask him to do for Quinn, but that is minimal. Why does my amazon do this and how can I make it so it is safe for me to handle him when my husband is in the same room. I have had this bird since he was approx 1 and I knew him for about 6 mos prior to purchasing him. This behaviour started when he hit sexual maturity approx 5-6 and has been continuing since then and he is now 16. I know that some birds seem to switch their people when they hit sexual maturity but you do not seem to have that issue so just wanted your thoughts on this.
