One Day Miracles | Don't Bite the Hand That Feeds You

Until now I only watched your series with Morgan and some other videos with you but never saw one of your husband and I have to say he is really incredible! Such a nice person with such good charisma and I can only imagine the connection you two have :) Keep going with your great work, you two are really inspiring!

[@kerielwatson3197]

These two together are a gem to watch. Both of them honestly amazing. They have the air of authority that teachers/trainers need, but there's the authenticity, openness and empathy that helps clients/students feel comfortable opening up about all the struggles they're having.

The poor guy is scared of everything, including hands. I have gained trust with him this last weeks but he still hates my hand. I think with this lesson I can manage to make him more comfortable and earn his trust. God bless you for helping birds and humans so much

@@becominghero9754 I didn't mean to say the people in the video are morons, kay? They are fighting through whatever is wrong with their birds and wanting to fix it.

Those people who give up are morons, I'm sure you'd agree a person who gets any animal without research then finds out just how tough it really is, is a moron. Am I wrong?

We owe it to our birds to build that trust & understanding what they require & not treat them like dogs who live for our commands.

[@angsfeatheredfriends]

I wish I had come across this video 30 years ago. When I was a kid my grandma had inherited a panama amazon parrot from her father, or uncle, I cannot recall, but it was an older family member. If you are familiar with the show My Cat from Hell, this was the bird from hell. I now know why he was like that. This bird wasn't fed right at all, locked in a smaller cage with no room to fly, never let out at all. We (the kids, the teens, and almost all the adults as well...) were not even allowed to go near this bird because of how aggressive he was (lunging, biting, hissing, laughing after someone cowered (yes he straight up laughed, then said "but whyyyyy"). Most of the time I just remember a sheet being over his cage. My grandma got sick of dealing with it and passed him on to my aunt. Same outcome. Bad diet, always in the cage. She is also a heavy chain smoker.... He died when I was 14/15 (the bird itself was only 25-30 years old at time of passing), but because of this bird, I never wanted a bird ever (and I grew up around every kind of animal you can think of). This bird gave me a serious level of trauma I suppose. After a very very long time looking up birds, seeing what one would fit me, and waiting for stability in my own life, so I could fit into a birds lifestyle... Well, I am now 37, and I am now just getting 2 parakeets for the first time (Yesterday even!, but I had all their supplies ready weeks beforehand). I cannot wait to start earning my place in their little flock. I do at some point want a larger bird, maybe not hyacinth macaw levels (even though it is my fav), but this is a safe first step I hope. Watched several of your other videos, plan on watching the rest, also seen there is a cookbook, I am going to get once funds become available. I already know my diet is bad, I get the feeling your cookbook for birds is going to end up helping me lose a lot of weight as well!

[@aykfc]

My dad owned a petstore in the late 1980s. He had several parrots and constantly took in parrots from people. He had a sketchy scarlett macaw he took in from hispanic gangsters. "Albert" (super creepy hearing him say Alllbert) cussed my mom out in Spanish under his breath. Several family members have parrot phobias from that bird lol. My cousin was 3 years old. Walking by Albert. Albert quickly moved close as possible to my cousin and shrieked as loud as he could. Terrified my cousin

I watch these videos with so much longing. When I lived in S. Texas I had an Amazon, Chestnut fronted Macaw, Love Birds of two varieties a pair of Fishers and a pair of the most beautiful red and green Lovebirds whose proper breed I don’t remember, Zebra Finches and several parakeets in a room set aside as an aviary. The Macaw never did learn not to bite and when I returned to the Northeast I had to leave them all behind because I was driving and visiting friends as I drove North taking two weeks of travel. I felt so guilty but I knew they had the best homes. My friends sent me pictures of them through the years. Time passes and so did several of my babies. My first bird was a double yellow Amazon which had pin feathers when I bought him at a market. He had to be quarantined and he was so beautiful and sweet. My friend had gotten to know all my birds when I would work for several days she cared for them and was so good with them. I think she was better with them than I was. She took them with her when she left Texas for Colorado forty years ago. I wish I had someone like you to teach me fifty years ago!💔

When I first got my cockatiel, I put my hand in his cage every single day everytime I went into my bedroom. And after it took a month. Barney one day, got on my finger. And the rest wS history.

I enjoyed this show, bcuz its real! Sadly, pepo dont realize the stress our pets go thru w/us humans! We dont make it any easy for them and uet we expect them to entertain and do whatever we want them to do when we say! They need to be heard too and respected. Its not about all the things we buy for them or do jus about anything for them...its about truly giving them the time, our patience, our ear and then our love bcuz then itll be genuine. So if thats one thing ive learned from this show is just that and that there is always a reason for why our animals will react harshly towards us or others, and sadly most of the time its our fault, even if we dont wanna hear that! But those are the pepo who will quicky abandon their pet!😥 There is a lot of help out there nowadays and if u have a bird, i def recommend bird trick as well! Great job Merlin! 👏

This video posted at the right time for me. Thank you!! My Amazon of 22 yrs. was recently reunited with a flock mate she was raised with 20 years ago when he came to live with us a year ago. I’ve never had a problem with her stepping up or being out of the cage around me but She has become very aggressive towards me and won’t step up or let me near her without attacking me. She does do touch training so I’m going to start using it to get her to step up on my hand again and hopefully trusting me again. The only problem I have is she bites the hand I use to give her reward so I use a small container that holds the treats and I let her take it from the container after I click. Is this ok to do?

It was amazing that I came across this video on the very day I was asking myself if anyone does clicker training with birds! You certainly answered that well and showed how effective it is and how quickly the bird caught on. I am a dog trainer of 50+ years and the techniques you showed (clicker training, luring, etc.) were very parallel to what we can use in dog training. I have had many birds and just took in a budgie that someone had rescued from the woods who is very wild. She is the reason I was thinking about clicker training. I was so excited to watch this and see the results that John got with his bird. (Years ago, I did clicker training with chickens with Bob Bailey and wife Margaret.) Thank you for answering my question. I knew it could be done, but wondered if anyone was actively using it. Thanks for another great video! I have already made good progress with the budgie in just a couple of days. I also have a cockatiel that I am bird sitting for over a month and truly have caught the bug to have another cockatiel of my own! I would live for you to do a video on what to do with a parrot who screams every time you leave her sight! I had one years ago that wouldn't let me leave the room without screaming for me to come back. I hadn't had her for very long, having taken her from a friend who could no longer keep her. I had to give the bird back because I just couldn't handle the screaming and didn't know what to do about it. Family matters were not good at that time and she had to go. But I would love to hear how to fix that kind of problem. I'm sure that others would, too. Thanks for your wonderful expertise! You are to birds what I am to dogs. I love them both!
