POMONA BIRD SUPER SHOW! 100s of birds and parrots!

[@bkm2797]

Yes, I believe the parrots were practicing speech. Long ago I had a green cheek I purchased as a baby, had no idea he would ever talk,he picked me and that was why I took him home. When I put him to bed I would here him garble, which turned out that he was practicing speech, one morning when he was still covered I heard him clearly say Good Morning, and he repeated it two more times, and that was the beginning. Never tried to teach him, he just picked up phrases on his own like when I was eating, he would rush over look at me and ask if it taste good,lol. It was adorable and unexpected. Thanks Dave, always good to see you.👍❤️

[@DavKaufmansAdventures]

That's really cool!

[@bkm2797]

Yes, Piper was a smart little green cheek, I really miss him!🕊

[@loriw2661]

Parrots are not a “whim” purchase. They’re loud, messy and a lot of work. You’ll have a 2 year old toddler for 80 years that you need to out in your will. Like she said, “Do your research FIRST!” Great video Dāv! 🦜

[@DavKaufmansAdventures]

100%!

[@J0nnygoeswild]

I work a bird sanctuary 100%agree most of our birds are relinquished pets they are a life time commitment

[@DW-kr6iw]

I’ve had an African Grey for 30+ years. I hand fed her from about a month old. It’s a long-term commitment. They bond with their people. Very intelligent creatures. Do the research. And yes, they were communicating with each other.

[@The_Crucible714]

Some bird species can outlive their owners, they really are a _LOOOOONG_ term commitment.

[@sherrybrzeczka7966]

In my younger years I worked in a pet store and often was the opening care giver. The birds DO communicate, from mumbles and chuckles to the "Welcome the Sun" antics and noises. Great footage of that secret language!

[@DavKaufmansAdventures]

Thanks! Cool isn't it?

[@animesuperstar99]

I think the audio you picked up on the mic could be considered parrot-normal activity

[@nicholas87541]

It does sound like the parrots were communicating!! Really neat! the LA Reptile fair looks massive!

[@DavKaufmansAdventures]

Right?

[@canislatrans8285]

I remember when hyacinths cost around 8k, boy have they gone up in price the last 25 years. I have 2 african greys now, 1 is 25, the other younger. The 25 was a rescue of sorts, the other came after my grandma died. The bird didn't seem to care much, adapted very quickly, and had a long red eye plane ride in the cockpit entertaining the pilots. The older bird is very sensitive though, too much stress and he picks. The 2 of them are inseparable. I grew up with a yellow nape that hated me lol, jealousy! I've had conures, budgies, amazons, the 2 greys, and a hen eclectus who was the sweetest thing, but had to rehome as all she wanted was to breed, and was a fussy eater with their special diet. She went to someone who was retired and could devote the time needed. She was originally in a nature center so got to be around many different people and kids all the time, so was used to whatever. My fav breed is the yellow nape even though the one hated me. I just love their voice.

[@andylydon8416]

I'm not really into birds, I like them and all but the way you show us this expo makes me want to take another look at them. Great job

[@DavKaufmansAdventures]

Thanks Andy! That's really cool

[@sianlane7364]

Of course, these birds were communicating, Dav. What's even cooler is that they all have dialects of their own. Parrots are super cool and smart, and yes, messy, loud, and really can hurt you. You are the consummate interviewer, Dav. I'm super happy I got to talk to you! Ellen and Max

[@tjtotheb]

This to me is an honestly huge audio gift to the world and should potentially be looked into. As a parrot owner, i’ve never heard anything like this.

[@clistiarobinson34]

Good morning dāv, my uncle before he passed away had lots of birds, we called him the birdman. I love all birds but I would have to say my all time favorite Is the hummingbird, male cardinals, blue Jay's and umbrella cockatoo.

[@DavKaufmansAdventures]

Hi Clistia! That's a great list of birds!

[@staceyroberts3468]

The recording of the birds was shocking!! So cool. It def was communication!

[@DavKaufmansAdventures]

Right?

[@DragonFantacy]

You found the alien bird conference! 👽🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 When I was a kid I had a parakeet who would say 'thank you' when I turned the light off. ❤

[@DavKaufmansAdventures]

You may be right :)

[@littlemidwestrebornsdolls]

Hyacinth macaws are my favorite birds! I would love to have another small parrot.

[@The_Crucible714]

Hyacinth macaws either came down in price or Dory was discounted because of her scoliosis. My brother breeds parrots in Florida and he paid almost twice as much (60k each) for his pair of Hyacinths several years ago. Many people into herptocture often have crossover interests in birds. I was raising tiny Australian grass finches (Lady Gouldians) and other small softbills several years ago. Birds are way more care-intensive than reptiles.

[@hannahhowden8980]

Seeing the young girl at the beginning of this video so confident and passionate about her birds was amazing and so heartwarming 😊 she’s got a bright future ahead of her

[@glennhelm9525]

We bought a Pacific Parrotlet from a 12 year old girl/breeder at the same fairgrounds in about 98. That bird was so well trained & socialized, something most breeders fail to do. Also bought a Senegal, Jessie, in 96, who we still have. Fell in love with the blue front & painted conures. They had a lot of lories & Australian King parrots back the, as well as Golden Conures.

[@gasperkanoni8838]

Crazy crazy! I just send your adventure to my parrot friend

[@anniewardlow9297]

Great video...as usual! 👍 As far as the birds chatting with each other I will admit that I heard it. I also noticed that when you changed from one vendor to the next and one kind of bird to the next that the language changed. It also kinda sounded like a tape being played in reverse. Great catch though!

[@DavKaufmansAdventures]

I noticed that too! Glad it wasn't just me that heard that

[@anniewardlow9297]

@@DavKaufmansAdventures I wonder if you play the birds chatting backwards if you'd hear what they're really saying? Hahaha!

[@jennoula]

It kinda did sound like they were having a good old gossip amongst themselves lol would be interesting to see if you can get more footage like that and maybe see if they make those same communicative sounds in the wild too or whether it's just something they have picked up from us in captive birds.

[@DavKaufmansAdventures]

Right?

[@jonathanyoungblood8676]

Love some big birds their kind of majestic. I have a sun conure and man she’s a little diva and like that lady said can scream all day long

[@HybridDecon]

When Max the African grey said hello - I didn’t hear anything close to hello, so did it sound like a hello to anyone else? Is it just me? I only heard that parrot sounding language again. How strange - had to keep replaying it as thought my headphones were bust! I can also hear it at many other points during the video too (like after you say Paco, the Amazon’s name). That’s so cool to have heard it so clearly on the B roll - great video as always, please keep doing these! 😊

[@DavKaufmansAdventures]

I heard it several times throughout the video as well and in clips that didn't make it into the final video. So incredible!

[@rickh3714]

It's like they splice interjections cryptically within the all the human narrative & trade fair ambience/hubbaloo. In the wild of my NZ garden I just get the chatter of of a high flying stray Alexanderine plus the whistles & occasional chatters of pairs & trios of introduced wild E.Rosellas. A long time ago I saw a solitary silhouette of a large native Kaka flying past the lounge window in Auckland.

[@photodivainwa]

My Blue Front Amazon has her own language as well! I thought it was just me that noticed it. 😂 She laughs when I do and LOVES to watch TV. Her fav shows are The Voice and America’s Got Talent. She sings along and cheers for the contestants.

[@alexanderno1093]

birds do what they want you just have to make them think your will is also theirs. you want to become part of the flock at the very least and if you have just one you can work toward bonding fully. the day you decide you want a bird you should wait a year before purchasing one. look everything you need to up and then contact a breeder or if you have the rare well-kept local pet store (THAT GIVES THE BIRDS INFO AND BREEDER) birds will hide any illness or injury they can and the personality they have in a pet store or with the breeder is not how they will be forever, ESPECIALLY when hormones kick in. whether you planned on being a parent to teenagers that bird is going to make sure you know you can't possibly understand their emotions (freaky)

[@Jesse-rt8wu]

What about cockatiels they have gray on them and they're a cockatoo???

[@babakgholian3467]

I love all kinds of animals , first of all they should not be in cages , second each and every one who's there is to make money from the animals !!!!

It’s disappointing to see and hear so much misinformation…

[@madmaxxx9711]

Breeding these creatures makes me MAD. They should not be in cages! Breeders are the reason so many parrots are in rescues and so many are neglected and mistreated. I rescued an umbrella cockatoo (my profile pic) 15 years ago and an African Gray 10 yrs ago. The African Gray was kept in a cage for 15 years with the last two years covered up. He was extremely angry when I got him that he would throw himself against the side of the cage every time someone would walk by. He has gotten much better and is out of his cage everyday for most of the day and is only put inside for birdie bedtime (that's what it's called in my house) Spend the time to do your research, this is often a lifetime commitment. Go to a rescue and let the parrot pick you rather than you picking the parrot, having the parrot pick you will result in both you and your possible lifetime partner both being happy. Once a parrot picks you, you should be able to recognize it because they use body language which you should get to know so you don't end up getting bit. RESCUE, never buy!

[@perfectweather]

The African greys considered the best talker and the smartest but that's only because they're the only species of parrot studied for that. Science has not studied the Amazon parrot and compare the two or any other parrot for that matter.

[@countrygirl4422]

You can also go to a bird rescue and put these breeders out of business. That water was so dirty didn't they bring clean water?

[@FredM-h3m]

Apparently you have never been outside the United States. The bird shows in Europe fill entire convention centers. Compared to the shows in Europe the Pomona show is a lemon aid stand and the shows in Europe are Walmart.

[@Marco1575]

Why do you clip off the parrots wing feathers?? That is Very sad, almost all of you at that expo. Birds meant to fly! 😢

[@hobbithabits]

So these birds dont enter the wild. Theyre out for a show so some form of management is expected. I fully agree with you, birds should keep their flight feathers. But in this situation its a danger to them to be flighted.

[@nomosss]

They have the gift of flight and end up in a cage.Done nothing wrong.

[@heavenleigh3344]

Also, if anyone is looking at getting one of these wonderful birds buy from a breeder ALWAYS Know the sex of the bird and get the opposite sex of yourself. I've worked with so many that raised babies only for their bird to become sexually mature and then become aggressive to their owner because they are the same sex 😢 There is more to it, but those are the two big things to watch for.

[@DavKaufmansAdventures]

Great advice!

There are so many in rescues because people don't realize how noisy, needy, messy, and how long they live. Spend the time to do your research, this is often a lifetime commitment. Go to a bird rescue and let the parrot pick you rather than you picking the parrot, having the parrot pick you will result in both you and your possible lifetime partner both being happy.

Dave, you've lost a lot of weight dude!! Looking good! Dave when I first started watching you about seven or eight years ago I thought that maybe deep down you were a major weirdo/asshole guy. I'm not sure if you've changed your life or anything but you just seem like a genuinely nice guy. Give your life to Christ Dave. You can still do the same thing but instead you just give it all to Christ and glorify him.
