Mikey & Mia's Daily Routine 2022

[@PCrailfan3790]

I know I couldn’t handle the amount of work these parrots require so I’m just going to live vicariously through these videos

[@MikeyTheMacaw]

Haha much easier to watch them on KZbin.

Between these two, Gumi, Beaker, Hamlet and Prince, I have all the vicarious birbness I need.

Right?! 😂😂😂

[@Silly_worm1029]

Mikey and Mia are soo lucky to have you as humans! Out of soo many places they could’ve gone I think with you is the best!

[@MikeyTheMacaw]

Awww thanks so much.

[@dianemessina2964]

They are high maintenance but gorgeous birds. You are so wonderful with them.

[@blueskies00]

Wow U treat your birds like royalty They're soooo lucky to have.u

[@PCrailfan3790]

Tbh if I was able to get a bird, I wouldn’t unless I could treat them like this

[@BirdNerdSophie]

Thank you for talking about portion sizes affecting selective feeding! It’s something I stress all the time with a raw food diet - appropriate portion = getting a bit of everything 😊

[@MikeyTheMacaw]

And it’s something everyone always messes up at the start, for years we filled bowls like crazy, looking back we laugh haha

[@angelkickken1736]

be aware u give them enough

Lucky is a B and G I live with. He knows all about Mickey and Mia and is a big fan. He likes to stand on my knee and watches every minute of their show and never misses a one. Merlin is a green wing and really couldn't care less. Thanks for all the great vids!

[@MikeyTheMacaw]

Awww amazing.

[@karenfreeman3595]

Love this video. Thanks for showing how much cleaning. Good parrot education content.

[@MikeyTheMacaw]

Haha thanks. Yup, always cleaning.

[@MG-et7lx]

I missed these simple videos of your life , wonderful ❤️👍💖

[@iankoh3270]

Macaws are precious

[@Fleegled]

Yes

[@PCrailfan3790]

And loud

[@mandyluna]

I think birds are definitely one of the hardest pets to own. So beautiful and fun but none stop work and noise. So thank you for always sharing the truth.

[@birdylove24]

I can tell you, as an owner of eight birds: Yessssss! 😂🤣😂🤣🤩🥳

[@mandyluna]

I am so pleased that you rescued these beautiful birds, they are so happy birds.

[@MikeyTheMacaw]

So are we

[@MHow-qc3ns]

This was so enjoyable to see! MORE, MORE, MORE -- please. thank you.

[@mamamajuly]

So much work!!!!!! You are wonderful parents. 💜

[@ShelbyTheMacaw]

Lovely to see you back. Our three were transfixed throughout ❤

[@Plqnes]

Hey guys!!

[@sky1140]

After watching several of your videos now I so hope that you are doing educational talks out in public with your birds. You're charismatic and you are knowledgeable and humble and the amount of empathy and passion you have for these birds is incredible. You brought me to tears a couple of times. Please, please if you don't speak publicly about everything that you say online about owning parrots and how they should be wild and free and how difficult it is to have them please do so. Please talk to people face to face. I know you've got a huge social media following and that brings me so much joy. The impact you can have with animals right in people's faces is even larger. I so appreciate what you're doing. I can't say that enough. My gratitude for you is overwhelming.

[@MikeyTheMacaw]

Thanks again, so happy you enjoy the content. We don’t really do much in person, but if people ever ask, we are pretty honest with our thoughts haha, it’s sometimes not appreciated but oh well

[@jaredherrera2160]

Beautiful birds and you take care of them very well

[@russsnider7375]

Such a great video! You have some special birds and they are SO blessed to have you two as their owners/family. I was smiling and laughing the entire video. 🙏

[@321gj]

Now I've seen how much work parrots are, I will *never* get one. Your channel and your commitment to your beautiful birds is wonderful.

[@321gj]

I didn't need the slow-motion poop shot though :)

[@bkm2797]

Happy to see you all, and this was a well executed vlog, so Thank you!

[@milkdud9309]

Beautiful birds, but so much work caring for them. So nice to see how well taken care of they are.

[@colleenosullivan857]

Those beautiful birds are more work than children.

[@angieangie53]

9:43 amazing shirt lol love the birds 💗💗

[@birdylove24]

Oh!! The poop! 😃😃 VERY interesting for every bird owner! If there's some sh... on my shoulder, my first reaction is: "Oh! Is the consistency o.k.? What about the colour? Is it too liquid? Are the feathers on the bottom clean?" And only when everything is fine I'm happy and gratefully get a fresh shirt while whistling! 😁

[@classarank7youtubeherokeyb63]

I just have cats and dogs and I feel that in my bones. If you live with them for a few years you barely even register cleaning as gross.

[@Dan-xx5jq]

This is an awesome channel. I am glad YT recommended it to me. Thank you for sharing your lives with your gorgeous birds. Cheers from the US.

[@MikeyTheMacaw]

Thanks so much.

[@chinolokkz3693]

Wow that's alot of work for these beautiful creatures. Happy you guys enjoy these birds. 😁❤

[@angelapietras1235]

I’m so pleased to see you given them lots of variety of food ,I have a 31 year old cockatiel,he sleeps more now but he’s so healthy his brother lived until he was 29 years old so I’m pleased I took good care of them.

[@sharefail]

Great to see you back and setting such a good example.

[@zombiefulci3301]

Is it possible for a macaw to not be hopelessly adorable? No!!😂😂❤❤❤❤❤

[@MikeyTheMacaw]

Haha I dunno, come see Mikey in spring/summer, there is nothing worse.

[@geraldoyo1]

You two are fabulous parents!

[@TanyaBrown-zv2gx]

You have a beautiful home and you take very good care of your birds they are very spoiled

[@peppytheecky1703]

Beautiful birds wow.

[@zakarymcleod1850]

Our Shamrock macaw is so ridiculously high energy. I didn't realize how crazy he is until I saw this video where Mikey and Mia actually sit still for minutes at a time and willingly go back into their aviary for bedtime. Your birds actually get tired at the end of the day! Hopefully one day we can get ours focused enough to fly outdoors. That could be why there is such a big difference between my bird and yours.

[@MikeyTheMacaw]

Flight helps for sure, but diet is a huge part of it, when our guys had a bunch of fruit, and ultra processed foods they were always unsettled, they are so much more calm and chill now on a raw wholefood varied diet

[@zakarymcleod1850]

@Mikey The Macaw & Friends Ours is on a good diet. He gets harrison's pellets and sprouts in the afternoon and the birdtricks seasonal chop in the morning (usually beans, squash or sweet potato, carrots, tubers like raddishes, and leafy greens if you aren't familiar). I genuinely appreciate the advice, though. I've considered trying your dry mix, but with most dry mixes, he just dumps them out so we are sticking with fresh for now. I guess he's just naturally hyper.

[@omarmohammd5276]

thats one adhd macaw right there lol

[@AnnetteAcevedo-l9z]

Omg I love these birds but wow that’s a lot of work to do and they make a mess. But still it’s fun and they are so smart. I love when they were flying and hoping they would come back. So beautiful 🙏

[@MikeyTheMacaw]

Haha yea it’s a lot more work than fun lol

[@karenbrown4524]

love you guys. From my small Senegal, Forrest, to your equally as beautiful parrots. Our parrots will always be wild. I've *NEVER* heard large parrot grind. I hear Forrest grind and my tiels but never macaw grinding. It's my favorite noise. 💛💙

[@judycook1918]

Thank you for an honest look at keeping these beautiful birds. As much as I love animal they are beyond my ability to keep them in a proper manner. I’ll just enjoy them from a distance.

[@MikeyTheMacaw]

Much smarter haha

[@dianechiucchi2275]

Great video. You are great mommy and daddy humans. It is wonderful see the commitment you have and the love you give to Mikey and Mia and the love they give to you. ❤

[@emspeebee27]

I Love Mikey and Mia! I so enjoy watching them!! I have a Hahn’s mini macaw named YODA and I’m blown away at how smart Macaws are. and BTW, beak grinding is my favourite sound!! If YODA is beak grinding then I’m content as well!! Take care of yourselves and give scritches to Mikey and Mia!!! ❤️🦜❤️🦜❤️

Macaws are so loving , and they talk a lot , and the scream loud

Incredible dedication. They are surely well taken cared of. 👏💥💥 🦜 ❤️

[@reinisgaming8887]

I love your macaws. My dream pet.

[@mone4910]

Very interesting! I really enjoy the stories from your guys life. Respect to the both of you to take such good care of these two menaces! 😂 Also, I appreciate you always warning people about getting these big birds. It looks so beautiful in the videos when you guys take them to fly. Seeing that, many people might get a bird without thinking about the huge huge responsibility it is, for the rest of your life. For that reason, you can never warn people too much about getting a macaw etc. Anyhoo, best wishes to all of you from California. I❤

[@lornadesmarais-zo4pr]

Both are beautiful 😊

[@RadfahrerProductions]

Hello Macaw People. Nice vid, i felt remembered to a lot of things we experienced with my bird in 40 Years. Unfortunately she left us in 2017. We miss her a lot. Every living animal is not a toy, is not just a pet. It is a full worthy family member with it's own needs. This has to be aknowledged befor getting one.

[@champ666ZA]

Crazy how much time the big birds take up. Your lives basically revolve around the birds which I'm sure you both love. Well done.

[@MikeyTheMacaw]

Haha yup

[@ElizabethGornall-p7u]

❤❤❤❤❤❤ .Oving this vid

[@chelseasilver5219]

I now have 3 macaws. My girl picked up what we thought was a plucking issue after the death of our bonded cockatiels so I took in a pair of Macaws and she is sooooo happy and it’s super fun sharing our lives with our feathered family. These birds are so demanding but we knew this wayyyyyy before committing to ownership and we knew the work would harden when we took two more in but we do both work from home and we’re fast workers so we have plenty of time to give them everything they need plus more (the three of them joined us on Date Night tonight). They help us make new toys for their indoor aviary.

[@timefortinybirdandfriends6565]

[@dogcrazy25]

So nice to see you all again. I like your PSA at the end. I thin showing fun bird videos encourages people to get birds. I thought for brief moment I wanted a bird but after some research I decided to stick with dogs.

[@zannido3125]

It's kind of funny how things work out. Right now I have two teen dogs and they are a hot mess. My macaw is a breeze to care for. There is the clean up but besides that he is zero trouble. Granted I know I'm lucky because he stays in his zone and doesn't tear up the house. He tears up his stuff. It's an acceptable compromise lol. As for my puppy, all my Christmas gifts were of stuff she chewed and ruined and needed to be replaced.

[@dealman3312]

WOW! I love it. Help! what besides seeds can we give the lovebird? Seems he doesnt want to eat anything else

[@MikeyTheMacaw]

A large variety of human grade seeds will be great, you can offer little amounts of fruit, veg, edible flowers etc too

Hi daddy human and mommy humman I love your video about miley and Mia how live their life I love macaws and I favorite macaw is the blue and gold macaw

[@Dan-xx5jq]

You guys should try to think of ideas for new toys so that you could manufacture your own brand as you guys know them so much.

[@MikeyTheMacaw]

Yea we sell toys on the site but selling our own would be way better

[@zannido3125]

I do not know who enjoys your videos more, Mr, Bentley my blue and gold macaw or me. He always talks back to Mikey. I'm one lucky human... I got Mr. Bentley when he was 31 about to turn 32. He just turned 33 in December. He stays out all day and just hangs around his personal space, never leaving it and never destroying anything except for his stuff. When it's bedtime he tells me goodnight and off he goes to bed.

[@MikeyTheMacaw]

Awww great to hear.

[@AA-Hello]

[@longnamenocansayy]

that meal tip you gave was very good. only give them what they can eat. otherwise it will all end up on the floor, and you'll go broke trying to feed them. i know that doesn't mean much to you, as you're obviously made of money, but it's good advise to us poor people. i love to watch mikey and his friends. every morning i get up and fly with them. it feels good to be a bird.

[@MikeyTheMacaw]

Yup, always smaller portions, if they eat it all feed more. Haha we def aren’t made of money, not even close

[@DatBeautifulNightmare]

My birds from big to small all love Mikey and Mia dry mix. My crazy fids, even my gcc like macaw sized food. You should sell your Christmas mix.. I'd buy it all year around.

[@DeKat-84]

I don't know what they taste like on their own, but I have a loose leaf tea that has marigold flowers in it. It is really nice so I can see why birds would enjoy chewing on them. I guess it would be a quite relaxing flavour and soft texture too.

[@myladyswardrobe]

I would LOVE to know what the flooring is in the Mikey and Mia's aviary. The dry food mixes look amazing. Definitely going to look into getting some from you.

[@MikeyTheMacaw]

It’s called proplex, you can get it from any hardware store.

[@myladyswardrobe]

@@MikeyTheMacaw Fabulous. Thank you. I need to redo my birdroom....not an easy thing to do in a very old 600 yr old house! I have been hunting for something to protect the floor (which is also of a similar age) but is also easy to clean! Thanks.

[@Dan-xx5jq]

I was thinking since you guys are so good at producing very entertaining videos I was wondering if you all had considered writing a series of children's story books on the lives of the two birds. Another idea i just thought of was, if you guys could also put together an on-line book on how to raise macaws. I have seen other people that take their hobby and they publish an on-line book and they charge a fee to download a copy. 'Cause once you write it and put it out there, you guys don't have to do anything after that. I know your lives are pretty hectic already so these are just suggestions. Remember to continue to enjoy your lives. I wish I had grown up in the UK rather than the US. The US is too wild for me and I love your accents. So polished and refined.

[@reinisgaming8887]

It would be pretty awesome if we could hangout at our hotel. Your KZbin channel is awesome.

Love to see macaws but also realising taking care of them is too much work for me 🥴. Love these videos though❤
