Thank you 😁

[@abdulahed925]

Hi I recently bought a alexandrine but I don’t know is it old or young the guy sold me the parrot told its 16 weeks old can I get any help from you thanks

[@rosanadelgado9528]

There are several components to house training a parrot. One place I discovered that successfully combines these is the Parrot Ploy Plan (google it if you're interested) definately the most incredible resource that I have ever heard of.Check out the great info .

[@abdullahsaeed7542]

You asking if he was quick learner And him bobbing his head Was so cute

[@victorespinoza7753]

interesting points ,if anyone else wants to uncover how do you train a parrot try Parrot ploy plan (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some incredible things about it and my buddy got excellent results with it.

[@adriannavanoyen]

His head spins are so fun- what a clever, beautiful boy!

[@ghostybees6322]

He's so excited his tail feather fell out

[@artmusic6937]

hahahahahah

[@sannaali4607]

We know

[@Ecofriendlyone]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@puppies.and.pumpkin]

My first thought: wow, his tail is super long. Two minutes in: omg, it fell off!!!!

[@krisu7261]

supernovabay true AF

[@sunshine5668]

Me too. 😂

[@MilosAdventure]

Lol

[@henzcarltupas328henzcarltu2]

@@sunshine5668 once you're parrot or macaw loses his feathers, you can use the feathers as decorations for headdress 😊

[@judithwalker3600]

Jessy, the fact that you not only realize when you've made even a tiny mistake but you always say so. Then you take all the pressure off and finish with a huge reward. Lovely to see you with your critters!

[@Plectrudefy]

He's like "stop talking i want to touch the stick!!" So cute, even if he doesn't, we appreciate the explanations!

[@AllTheArtsy]

Nothing more glorious would ever be captured on camera than Zapper's tail feather falling off!

[@MilosAdventure]

🤣😂 agree

[@V.Hansen.]

Oh my gosh. What a good boy. How cute and smart he is.

[@wonderwend1]

4.48 : he turns round on the perch on his own 🤣

[@jessicasikora8564]

Totally! You can see him looking up at Jessi like "Excuse me... I thought I had trained you to give me a treat every time I turn. I guess we're going to have to keep working on this behavior."

[@animalwondersmontana]

Haha! Hes so smart and does so much begging! It's so hard not to reward him for offering a behavior without me asking first (which just leads to impatience and frustration).

[@abdullahsaeed7542]

He's was so eagerly looking at the hand that gave him treats Every time it came near him.

[@Kaytaaay]

He sounds like a little Pokémon. I love him so much. 🥰🥰🥰

[@madelinemcdonald2609]

Jesse I’ve been wanting to say that watching your videos these last few years motivated me to give my animals in a lab at my university the best care I can when I started working with them this semester. It made me eager to learn about their personalities and bodies :)

[@kathywittes9910]

That was so awesome to watch a whole training session like that. Definitely would enjoy seeing that with other animals.

[@lizd.2343]

Looks like him and you are having a great training day, so cute! I love how healthy your birds are, so engaged and understood by you.

[@chelsiecrook]

I love how excited he is. Why does he spin his head around like that when he's excited?

[@TheCassafrassTree]

It's basically just how some parrots express their excitement, and get some of that energy out. Like a dog that chases their tail when they get excited. ^_^

[@chelsiecrook]

@@TheCassafrassTree Thank you!

[@jvp714]

He's just like my bird, loves treats but I don't think any actually ends up in their mouths

[@saswatisamanta6613]

Actually the nut shell falls off and he eats the inside of it, I think

[@Molscheira]

What a jam-packed episode! Thank you for sharing Zapper with us. I love all the little noises he makes and how clear he communicates.

[@BlackCat_2]

Kemosabe in bird form!! :) I could listen to those little chirps all day. :D I love these videos and if I ever have parakeets again I would try training. :) - Heidi

[@shastawolfamute2203]

Who would've thought the tail would just molt off during a video XD pretty cool to see molting happen live! Usually a parrot owner just takes about it, I didn't know it happens so suddenly like that.

[@Thiriously]

Absolutely love it, Jessi. I'd say my only complaint would be how he's biting the stick rather then just touching it because it could accidentally get you aggression on cue but it doesn't look like it's a problem for you but it is something for viewers that want to try touch training to be aware of. Be very aware of how your bird is touching the stick, you totally can get over-stimulation and aggression and several emotions on cue so be very aware of how your bird is feeling when they touch the stick and try your best to not let them bite the stick. It helps to hold it out of the bird's reach and then bring it in just within their reach. I'm pretty sure Birdtricks KZbin Channel had a bird touching it with their tongue, too funny! Loved meeting Zapper, I haven't seen him yet! He's such a great training student, I'm a little jealous!

[@lauriebennett6257]

He's absolutely gorgeous and so intelligent! It was almost like he instinctively knew what you wanted him to do.

[@SaiyanHeretic]

Zapper is such a good and talented boy! I wish new hires at my job were as easy to train, lol.

[@kavinsart1655]

When his tail feather just flopped out

[@tomikola1864]

Just got a 8 months old today , I'm letting him settle on his new environment and human. But I'll be visiting your tutorials a lot. I've had parrots all kinds but it's always good to know the specifics for each species. Thanks for the tutorial

[@janedoe4929]

He sounds like Kemosabe.

[@PenguinDT]

I'd love to hear them having a conversation

[@ABayQuad]

Ya

[@Nyli.]

At the end he was like "will you stop moving please I am doing dangerous stuff here, human !"

[@Ravenzpeak]

What a cutie! He's so into you and playing new games! 💕

[@thegardenofeatin5965]

He heard you talking about turning around so he jettisoned that huge tail feather to become more maneuverable.

[@KaaSerpent]

He's STUNNING. Beautiful colors.

[@MotherOfWednesday]

His engaged and happy sounded are wonderful

[@RavenWindrunner]

These are just so heart warming. Jessi, your passion for animals is infectious in the best way.

[@uabir8338]

I like how both of your cloth's color match

[@cassiushumqua7301]

I am adopting a baby lovebird from a rescue soon! I'm very excited, and I'm going to try and teach her the circle motion and recall!

[@vaultgirl42091]

He is so precious. Zapper is very cute! You are an excellent bird trainer. I have a cockateil & a Canary Winged Parakeet. 🖤🕊️

[@dmndsol]

Good Job, Zapper and Jesse.

[@cheyannekuehl8613]

I love how she throws in random facts about how to do something or about the animal

[@dhawthorne1634]

4:55 "Where's my treat?!?"

[@kristieroybal4888]

I could watch her train ALL SAY! What I wouldn't have gemucen for this kind of animal behavior retaining availability when I was college age 30 years ago. I could have made my life's passion my work as well. She is dauntless in her cheerful efforts, creativity and true connection with all sorts of animals.

[@maria_lara111]

I like this parrot ! Easy and friendly !!!

[@ayush8650]

At 4:45 when she is talking zapper moves 360° hoping for treat. Poor noi 😂😂😂😂😭😓😂

[@zar_zarieinrahman2409]

You are sooooo amazing ♥️ I have an Alexandrine Parakeet & I've been sick worried about how much he was molting .. I found your channel last night & I've been binge watching your videos ever since!!! & I have to say, you're my saviour 🤗 Thanks a lot 🙏🏾

[@Ben-fd6zb]

omg when he accepts the almond at the end. I love this video, it's great to see content where it seems people truly care about the animals well being, and engagement. Great content, made my day

[@ParrotPleasures]

He loves making you happy!

[@有栖かおり]

Zapper is so lovely!!Such a quick learner!

He's a beautiful bird. I own both Alex's and ringnecks and although I love both my Alex's really capture my heart.

[@khadijak5464]

[@altheaunertl]

Zapper and Kemosabe make the cutest sounds. They're interestingly similar

[@brainjuice34]

AHHH I love his little boops!!

[@Bhavik.179]

I had an alexendrine parakeet but in india it's illegal to keep them so I took it to ELA foundation and they freed him, it's good for him that he is in the jungle right now but I miss him a lot, he was like my small brother and his name was "ok", he was a 2 year old, zapper reminds me of him

[@deeliciousplum]

I love how talkative Zapper is.

[@klaasdeboer8106]

They are smart, there are a lot of those beautiful birds here in amsterdam, I allways hear them when biking through or outside of the city. If you arrange food on the balcony, you can see them from very close!

[@shreyasshankar4109]

Been waiting for one of your uploads animal wonders!

[@garyblack8794]

it's been forever since I've seen zapper good to see him doing well

[@namelessnick9791]

Nobody: Not a single soul: Zapper: "You spin me right round, baby, right round Like a record, baby, right round, round, round"

[@hassanawdi3793]

As a kid I had a parrot which looked like urs and I tell him to do a trick without forcing it or giving it a treat as a reward cause we took good care of it

[@ARedMagicMarker]

Tail feather: POP!

[@janevelen173]

This video is awesome please post more vids on birds and training sessions with them!

[@98Zai]

That was amazing! Was so much fun to watch!

[@emumop3867]

It's cool seeing someone using some of the tactics birdtricks uses

[@DOLfirst]

Beautiful bird. Adorable sounds.

[@tiankuohua5167]

2:00 bye bye feather:)

[@isame0085]

He's so smart!

[@belle369]

His tail is crazy!! How do you find a travel carrier and even a cage that he can fit in comfortably without damaging his tail?

[@grayfoxv]

You put the perch up closer to one end of the carrier haha. It's also quite flexible

[@stevie6900]

I have owned a cockatiel previously, and after about 3 wonderful years with her she passed away. It’s been 3 years since she passed and I think I’m ready to offer a home to another bird. I have been thinking about what bird would be suitable for me, I have a lot of space and a lot of free time, so I have been thinking about getting a Hahn’s or Illiger’s macaw. I’ve also been thinking of an Alexandrine Parakeet. Does anyone have suggestions?

[@Jetaru]

yooss zapper is my favourite

[@jparokstar]

I also had one. But he died 3 days ago. He was 27 years old and lived a very happy life. He used to talk a lot.

[@bimbase1710]

I just bought an alexandrine parrot yesterday and it always whistles

I love the cute sounds he makes.

[@Gamerkat10]

Zapper is a darling little man!!!

[@thebugbear]

I've taught my cat to sit, stay, touch, give me her paw, and spin with a clicker. I really see her responding to it! The other night after dinner I was trying to get her to give me her paw without a clicker and she was completely ignoring me but when I brought it out she immediately focused, even though I didn't bring out treats that time.

[@seonaelizabethcoster8465]

What a smart kitty let you've got. 🥰

[@mitsuriismywife]

Is zapper heavy and he is one of my fav birds

[@DanSpotYT]

Such a pretty bird! Sweetness!

[@ColoravaeUploads]

I have an Alexandrine Parakeet, he is very smart and can speak Hindi (Official Indian Language) and if I put him on my finger than , he will say, "I have done, I want seeds" (in Hindi) and if you want to make him to sit on your shoulder, than you have to give him a thin slice of guava. I am not sure if it is every Alexandrines' favorite, But I do know that much that Pierre (my parakeet) loves Chili & guava seeds, thin slices of apple and guava and sometimes mango and banana.

[@chipobject]

u didnt need to say hindi was the official indian language most of us know that

[@animalsworld8815]

What are you feeding him

[@Shatterverse]

This guy is awesome.

[@rappie1329]

Omg... he is huge.... My Alexandrine is so much smaller it seems. Mine is just 7 months.
