Why I Chose to Help Another Bird YouTuber When Everyone Told Me NOT TO

Many of you asked me to help Caroline, many of you asked Caroline to ask me for help, and many of you asked me WHY I would help someone like Caroline, who, from her video thumbnails and titles, "doesn't appear to care about her birds".
So why did I help her? Because she set her ego aside and ASKED for help. We had very real conversations, parts of which you will see in this video, parts of which you will not because we literally spent 1.5 days with her.
I appreciate people who show commitment to bettering the lives of their birds.
I also spoke with Marlene Mc'Cohen who reminded me it wasn't just Caroline who would benefit from this sharing of information - but MANY people watching, going through the same things, the same struggle and the bigger picture is to help more birds. (Thanks for the reminder of that, girl!)
I do not like making choices out of fear. MANY people told me not to associate with Caroline. But what spoke to me most was my inner voice saying, "This is your job. This is what you do, who you are. You HELP people which helps birds. Why would you turn someone away based solely on other people's opinions? Why would you not give that person a chance and be part of their transformation?" So it was something I felt I needed to do, and worst case, it would help a lot of people going through the same thing out there.
Many of you asked for me to help her, and that's what we set out to do. I think it was eye opening for many of us.

Love you guys, I studied ornithology and that was nothing compared with how much you guys helped me with my birds love your program and my birds life your cook book! I got to say this shows you really really care for the birds and are willing to put aside your own doubts in pursuit of teaching. Keep being the positive awesome people you are!

[@asseyez-vous6492]

Where did you study ornithology, please? My avian knowledge is what I’ve been learning and watching birds from a really early age, but I’d love to study a course on it, particularly if it’s certificated (actually preferable). The CLOSEST I’ve been able to actually study here in the UK are: Animal Behaviour and zoology, both cover birds very little cos those subjects are too broad a spectrum. They were enjoyable, BUT, though I ADORE ALL fauna, birds, particularly all parrots, are my serious passion. I have some books on parrot anatomy and behaviour. Some are too easy and some are really complicated science wise. Would love to do an advanced (if possible) ornithology course, something where I can email or FaceTime the tutor questions would be ideal! Sorry for the ramble 🥱

@@asseyez-vous6492 I studied at the ornithology program at Cornell so sorry for the late response

[@black_hand78]

@@asseyez-vous6492 usually if you want a specific degree or to take specific classes you have to first get your doctorate in zoology and then your PhD in ornithology. I’m a chiropterologist, a bat scientist, I had to get my PhD in chiropterolgoy first before I could house and care for vampire bats which is the species I specialize in.

[@LorisHartland]

I really appreciate you repeating yourself over and over again to her to let her know you were serious & you care about what you do & you weren’t there to play.

[@angelpettyjohn6237]

It's not stuck up. Honestly it's love and caring. Being afraid for her bird and your own it's an emotional nightmare as far as losing a bird that follows her bird or her bird alone even.

I love this video!! Knowing you both, it was such an enjoyable video for me!! I think it's so amazing and humble that Carolin reached to you and fantastic that you received her openly! I think this video gave a lot of great insight in to safe free flight and and also why you don't teach with online videos. Very responsible, I agree. I also l love how you both gave her a chance and got to see the real Carolin, who has a ton of heart and is a very loyal friend. This video was fantastic!! You guys are amazing!

Marlene I bet if you are her friend, for real, she must worth something but she should be FULLY AWARE people see her videos and get the *wrong idea about her, or more so seeing the NOT REAL CAROLINE* that one who does CLICKBAIT on expenses of her viewers, bad, high voltage scarry sh#% all the time literaly, and lots of (fake???!) drama, or saying stuff like "ohhhh no I just lost this and that much money" when she lost her baby bird,instead thinking about "holy c@#!^ I just lost my baby boy o m g no"... all those negative stuff she does all the time cloud pepole ability to feel her, or see her "real personality", as you say you do, and as we supposedly saw here via the help of J from Birdtricks who was upfront and did not allow any of it on this time × (and i'm super super glad to know she has a better more responseble caring posetive less dramatic and "clif hanger" style personality, since before it happened I got to levels of anxiety and anger by watching her films, everytime, thinking that is just who and how she is. Very happy to see your comment and this video, which in she was not the way she is always on her channel) All I can say I TRULLY HOPE TO SEE HER MORE THIS WAY, less the old ways... she can learn a thing or two from your vibes, and from Birdtricks themselves.

I'll tell you straight up I love watching drama, but I honestly don't want anything bad to happen to anyone. I wish the best for her and her beautiful birds, it's ultimately for the better FOR EVERYONE. I wish she takes this seriously. No matter if she wants it or not but she is an influencer, and she has to step up.

She has the charisma and personality to pull views and subscribers without all the made up/actual drama, I think she would infact do much better with just being real and leaving all the drama and accusations behind. She's entertaining enough on her own. And the bird community seems pretty intelligent. For the most part. I think it ends up being positive overall for all involved.

There is also another bird youtuber who could really use help from you. Tyler Nolan, he get's complains from his neighbours because of his screaming macaws, and also has a resque macaw who has territory agression/ cage agression. So maybe, you, Birdtricks can step in? Ofcourse he has to ask for it by his own and already people mentioned you. So you know what's going on and maybe what to expect. :-)

@@ew2789 It's not only that, one of his macaws has agression, it's a resque. And also his birds freak out when he is leaving home for work and tatoo convetions and a friend is taking care if them, then they scream more. You can train them to learn other behaviour imo than the screaming.

I am not a fan of Caroline, but as a bird trainer it is your duty to help bird owners who solicit your help... So you did the right thing.

[@RebornThroughHate]

Caroline's birds keep flying away. I think it was 6 times at last count, about 6 months ago when I stopped watching her channel. She tries to free fly, but she's utterly clueless. I do hope you can help her.. or rather, her birds.

[@Alveiren]

Lol the humans are the ones who need the help. You had it right the first time.

[@RebornThroughHate]

@@Alveiren Well, she gets a lot of criticism and for good reason. I know she loves her birds and all that, but she's careless and I get the feeling her channel is more about her. One thing that really made me mad one time was when she generally referred to veterinarians as vampires who kill birds, or something like that. Highly irresponsible on her part, especially to new parrot owners. Or when one of her birds died, she had the time to set up the camera and begin crying on clue before recording a video of her emergency call to a vet clinic or whatever it was. I mean, she used the opportunity to make a video.

[@Alveiren]

Thanks!

[@cathyt144]

RebornThroughHate thats truly sad. Shes def an attention seeking drama queen. Thats why i stopped watching her channel.

One comment I saw Carolin make on one of her videos, I believe it was when Love flew off, was something like “I’m the only youtuber who shows the whole truth of free flight” I’ve always wanted to watch her videos and occasionally I do but that comment, the fly offs and the way she talks about dog owners at the park sometimes have really stopped me from watching her channel regularly. If those things stop I will definitely subscribe to her again.

[@leslieh48307]

Carissa’s Nest Carolin’s ego is huge, every one of her videos starts with a clickbait thumbnail, and we basically see “Hopey” free flying in every video and Love and Glory barely make appearances in the videos. Her birds are beautiful but poor Hope seems to nearly get “lost” or “attacked” in every one of her videos. I feel like she is really out there and hope that this video helps her with her ego with selling merch than actually caring for her bird’s health and safety! NOT!!! Jamie and Dave are very responsible with their birds and have taught their birds how to free fly the correct way. Carolin has trained Hope to fly but the poor bird flies away and hangs out in trees a and gets lost half the time. She uses a GPS on Hope in case he gets lost and seems to have to use it way too many times!!

[@jeralynosterloh251]

Carissa’s Nest same here I totally agree

[@dorkusamericanus]

Part of the problem with living in a big city, especially in California, is that there are a lot of weirdos. So you might actually get your pet stolen or tampered with, unfortunately. And there’s also not a huge amount of open space. Just lots of public parks. And they’re filled with homeless people and also ravens and hawks. If you watch some of the free flight videos of bird trainers in San Francisco (where I live) they’re always losing their birds and having to chase them for miles and miles. It’s why I am reluctant to get a parrot while living here and want to move away to a different state before getting a parrot.

She needed real quality assistance with this bird or the bird was NOT going to have a very good future and that's why this community needs to be close. The intelligent creatures DESERVE our help. We chose to make them pets so we should accept the sometimes hard situations that coincide with owning a wild animal and forcing them to be domestic when it not in their nature.

I worked at Animal Kingdom as a photographer. The trainers had a macaw named Bailey that took off into the park. All day through the park I heard Baaaailey...C'mon Bailey! His main handler was in my area by the Tree of Life. Now, I know it wasn't really funny but....Bailey would do a fly over and fly away laughing. That little stinker KNEW what he was doing! When left for the day she was still in the same spot and you could heard Bailey laughing and singing in the Tree of Life. When I came back the next day SHE WAS STILL THERE!! Rumpled, tired and still calling for him. I actually got the shot when he finally quit torturing her and came back. I did a rapid fire burst and made a montage for her later on. She actually cried when he finally landed safely back into arms. In a frenzy of hugging and kissing she told him what a naughty bird he was and that he was the worst bird ever lol. I don't recall her name but I was in complete awe of her dedication and love for this bird. It must be so hard to be a trainer for a large park like Animal Kingdom. How can help but fall in love with all of the birds? Heck I was just a photographer and I fell in love with them. (Actually I kinda got in trouble over a cockatoo and getting too friendly with her lol) Bird people are like horse people. The animals become your whole world from your waking thought to your final thought at the end of the day. God Bless you all for your love of these wonderful, wacky, intelligent, often frustrating animals.

This video and your explanation says more about your character than any other. I only wish we were closer to really use your talents with our Sun. Especially after watching you with your three girls.

[@himynameissara1917]

Hi, I am a big fan of yours. I am impressed that you save parrots and also shower them with love

[@LVXMagick]

You have a beautiful soul my sister. I strongly feel people should understand why some people look for money, fame, attention, etc. They seek these things bc there is something inside of them that tells them they alone are not enough, they alone are not worthy. When others see this behavior and tear someone down, they become part of the problem and reenforce these beliefs of not being "good enough" in the person therefore contributing to the continuation of the undesired behaviors. The best way to help those who are hurting is with love, never criticism or bad mouthing. But you were a perfect example of kindness and compassion with personal boundaries and strength. I think you helped more than the birds this time. Thank you. Blessings 🖤

[@cinnamongirl3476]

Your hearts are genuine. Watching Comet fly was pure joy.

[@lailabaloch568]

You were very honest abt free flying with Caroline. Love Comet...cooling of feathers are gorgeous. The treats you use as a reward, are they something particular or is it just a food that each bird really likes but only used as a treat when training.

[@BirdTricks]

Laila Baloch the latter - and I use a mix of his 3 fav nuts or seeds.

[@lailabaloch568]

@@BirdTricks thanks for the advice.

[@Camilla.x]

okay...i have to admitt... when i see your wonderful birds fly...my tears starts to fall...it is SO beautiful! That is the way they are meant to be...free, fly, feel the wind in their feathers... It is breathtaking

[@Loveofpets]

Nice to see Caroline reach out to you. Loved seeing you together and being honest with each other. This video was awesome

[@annadoyle2947]

I love your channel! I found you from Marlene page and watched your videos. I really love how you are determined to teach people and even when it's awkward make your stand. Also the driving commentary is hilarious! I was thinking how you said in the interview you do if for your birds. I REALLY didn't get it until I saw Comet out there!! He was smiling and so happy!! Awesome job!🐦💜

[@melodygrim471]

Watching this again this morning because my Quaker LOVES watching the birds free fly. As I watched you clean the back of Caroline's shirt, I realized that we need to have a line of t-shirts made specially for people who live with parrots - with spots And splats on the back behind each shoulder, on the shoulder, and a couple on the chest! Then if it happens no one will know the difference until you get to a place where you can change. And if it doesn't happen (doesn't? Are you kidding?!), it just looks like a bird owner's joke! 😉🤭😆🤭

[@SeabassFishbrains]

I'm loving all of your content so much lately!! The videos from group classes, the new podcast and now these collaborations are really phenomenal! I've been researching and planning to get my first large parrot for 10 years now and I've finally entered the actual phase of budgeting/saving up for the purchase and moving into a bigger apartment so I'll be adopting this bird later this year and your training and care related videos have helped me so much! My little budgies are indoor flight trained thanks to you two!

[@TSUNAMI-MAMI]

I love how you held her accountable

[@kelliemarie2901]

The look on Jamieleigh’s face at about 19:20 seconds is pure rapture as she’s watching the bird fly. It’s a look that says “hell yeah, this is what a bird’s life is supposed to be!” Amazing video, as always ❤️

[@Brinta3]

I know nothing about birds but seeing Carolin in this video and looking at the video titles on her channel... alarm bells start ringing. It’s good that you try to help her. As long as she doesn’t present it as some kind of endorsement.

[@maryannejordan6227]

Comet chasing Dave on the Segway...papa this is soooo funnn chasing you on the Segway. Can we get one pleeeeez, can we, can we??? Luv your birds and how you interact with them. Thanks for sharing💕🌷💕

[@abitofwhimsie]

Love to hear you laughing together! Beautiful

[@estie_birbs281]

I believe Carolin loves her birds however she cares more about views than the safety of her parrots! You need to help her because I have watched her channel and she truly lacks the proper training and dedication for proper free flight! She probably just met you guys to get views on her channel. She is just filming your conversations the entire time! She needs to get it together😠.

[@estie_birbs281]

Don’t get me wrong I think Carolin is a good person I just think she has a very concerning behavior between KZbin and her birds.

[@BirdTricks]

Estie we did go out to lunch with cameras down but our initial meeting was definitely a lot of camera use. I’m hoping the consultation brings more light to everyone 💛

[@muurrarium9460]

The only thing Caroline loves about her birds is the amount of attention they get her. Thats all. If everyone would ignore her the birds would be out of there faster than last years xmasscards.

[@popsicle1033]

The more viewers and subscribers Caroline gets, comes into KZbin money, she probably uses the money to help her birds, she's a nice person, I don't really know what to think

[@muurrarium9460]

@@popsicle1033 Easy: she only got the birds to get internet-fame. Once f.e. ferrets are the next hype she will get a few of those, she is that type of person. If you want to watch someone who is NOT in it for the money try WingsNpaws (I hope I got the name right) - he loves his bird (Smokey) and just wants to share what he knows without all the draamaaa and moneygrabbing.

[@Flockstars]

I'm glad you could find it in your heart to help her. I'm glad she asked for help. Through experience of my own I'm jaded, had a family member ask for help, over and over and over again, while destroying themselves and the rest of us, some people won't change. Let's hope she's not one of those.

[@DannyDeVitoLover]

Because you the best and love birds ❤️💙😍🥰

[@LianneMurphy]

Thanks so much you 2 I really enjoyed this video. I love the passion between you both and your birds and the help and advice you give . I totally get what you were saying at the beginning but Caroline is so sweet and although a little scatty (In the nicest of ways) she really does love and adore her parrots. once again Great video 👍👏👏🥰🦜♥️🦜♥️

[@mangolaughs]

You guys are so amazing, so many people need a little help here and there. Thanks for helping another bird loving KZbinr. I stopped watching her videos because they're just too stressful to watch. It's enjoyable to watch you help so many different people and different types of birds. Best wishes always to all! :)

[@lottatroublemaker6130]

This was BEAUTIFUL to watch, so wonderful to see someone who are just about what is best for the birds but also are so kind to the humans... Very touching❣️

[@loveyourparrot_]

I love Carolin and you both are so real with truth and birds. Great info, love your bird training.

[@sheatheunicorn]

I remember recommending your channel to her a few months ago, like many others, I'm so happy y'all were able to meet up!

[@elizabethcampbell3998]

I understand that I’m late to the party but her content feels like she has birds to make content.

[@spiralrose]

Yep.

[@hampton1861]

Left this video on while I went to go shower... came back and caught my conure rocking out to the music and trying to sing it! Omg

[@joeyrittierodt6958]

I just discovered you guys. You guys are amazing with the birds. I absolutely LOVE Morgans story. I have a Scarlett and a Buffins. ( Mo and Dorffa) Dorf ( the Buffins ) is a rescue. He is missing 2 toes on 1 of his foot from abuse. It took a very long time and patience to earn his trust. I thought I was doing good but after watching your videos I now have a lot better insight so I can do better for both birds. I thought the birds were just being birds but, now after watching your vids I see a lot of certin behavior patterns that I can work with them easily and improve with them. Thank you guys and keep the vids coming.

[@aziaarctos6968]

I always love when somebirdy sneaks in at the end. Hi, Bondi! Such a little sweetie. She’s just too cute. 💜

[@Mspoor70]

Just so much respect for your responsible message re keeping birds.Great education and really wonderful service 👏🏼Smiles from Scotland 🌺

[@BirdTricks]

Thank you

[@LauraBethHelen]

Good for you! You have a strong mind and a good will heart! It takes all of us to teach each other things good and bad. Your heart is in the right place and Caroline isn't a dummy, she knows what other people are saying about her and she handles it with style and grace.

[@lhmcd5538]

Wow, great shot of the birds flying. Thank you so much.

[@susanatkins6364]

This is great ...Love you are helping her!!!!!!!!!

[@RipnRev]

Its unfortunate her video is private now. I did go to her channel and see a lot of irresponsibility. Bless you guys for trying to help. The birds can only be as good as their handlers.

[@amandacastle7209]

I noticed that as well! Very weird to make it private....

[@violetsb7000]

Im so glad you did this video. A little before I found your channel I had seen her video where her macaw Hope got chased off by some ravens and she had to spend hours searching for her and I thought it was a happy ending. Then I watched more and realized she is extremely irresponsible and despite it happening in almost every video I've seen, she doesn't change the way she flies her birds. I always wondered how you guys would react to her constant behaviour, she bases a lot of her flights on luck instead of training.

[@naveenraj2008eee]

Amazing. You took risk and shared,cared and loved for parrots.. That shows you people are awesome... Comet got annoyed and his flight is smooth as silk.. Really he developed his skill... Tusa same as comet in flying? Is this same location nevada? Thanks jamie and dave for sharing amazing video and educated about parrots to us...

[@BirdTricks]

I've always thought of Tusa as a better overall flyer but of Comet as the smarter flyer.

[@jprielip]

Y’all are such wonderful, beautiful, loving role models. I admire your accountability and empathy for all birds and people. You’re the greatest ever

[@millycarter170]

Omg awsome vid you guys are awsome!! Your videos are really helpful to everybody, I wish good health to your birds and family!!!❤💙💯💚💜🧡🧡👍

[@ImperfectLioness]

I think it was a good thing to help Caroline. I had been concerned for her and her birds with the trouble she has had and the decisions she's made with them so far, so I had hoped someone would be able to help her out! Glory has some issues that are a challenge for Caroline to deal with, so I know Jamie and David can help both her and Glory, and that is all that matters. Helping Caroline matters, too! I know there are people who do not like Caroline and how she handles the birds, but this is not about her, it is about her BIRDS. Those who tried to tell Jamie and David not to help her were doing a terrible disservice to those birds. Never assume that a bird owner is beyond help or hope due to your own personal distaste for their actions on their channel, people. You only hurt the birds that person owns. LOVED when David got on the Segway and Comet flew to him on it! So much fun! Love to you Jamie & David! One of these days when I have more money (hopefully pretty soon) I would love to have you help me with my Timneh Grey who is 23 and never learned to fly properly when he was fledgling. He has had a rocky past with previous owners, so he has some hurdles to fly over, so to speak.

[@BirdTricks]

I look forward to helping you with your grey! 😘

[@summercoat23]

Hi Jamieleigh! One of your videos popped up in my suggested videos, and I clicked in part because I’m a parrot lover and in part because I totally recognized you from somewhere. Just realized that I rooted for you in LiveJournal’s Next Top Model many many years back LOL! :) Anyway, I have been binge watching your videos and have been inspired to try new things with my birds (starting with target training!). Thanks so much for putting this all out there and for being so real about the process.

[@BirdTricks]

That is hilarious!!! What are the odds!

[@monicaswavel6074]

You are amazing

[@snowsketch2516]

I love your videos iv always love parrots since I was little and now I finally have my very own cockatiel I had her for about 3 weeks she likes to watch your videos with me :D watching you helped me train her.

[@angelikablossfeld5427]

Just 2 minutes into the video and I am glad you are going to help Caroline. She needs a lot of help with her birds. Is he has lost her birds more than I can remember. I unsubscribed from her channel because I got tired of her self induced drama.

[@SnaykEyes77]

20:00 - That landing was spectacular and I absolutely love the use of slow motion. This bit really gives you a great look at how their tail feathers are used when approaching a landing point.

[@marenhaugen5283]

Thank you guys so very much! I am one of your fans who suggested you work with Caroline. Your training guidelines, especially starting with teaching the bird to fly down to you, then really getting the recall down, even to work in a batting cage were really basics are so good. Is that Bondi at your feet? Looks like Comet wanted to segway ride too. Loved this video

[@BirdTricks]

Yes that was Bondi 💕

I love all the Collabs lately! Mikey Bustos, Mikey and Mia and Marlene. Honestly I’ve watched a few of this girls videos and something seems off to me 😔 I feel like she saw Marlene and thought oooo I can do that and make $ without really knowing what I’m doing! I could be way off base but my spidey / mom senses just say something’s not right. I am really glad you try to help and hope she listens. But I still cannot watch her videos . Would love to see you guys and Tyler get together! He seems Genuine and he’s very open to advice etc.

[@melissarobertson8744]

Tyler is precious! His love for his animals is so genuine.

[@PsYcoPink]

This is AWESOME ☺️ i did suggest bout 4 months ago to her to reach out to u guys lol so glad every1 else thought the same way. Also suggested u guys to another tattooed utuber with 2 macaws. The new one he got had no name (he named him phoenix) , and had been abused, hes very territorial of his cage and gets aggressive. I suggested u guys coz u r our miracle angels that r dking amazing life changing work. I hope he reaches out coz i think u could help alot. Neway so glad u guys collabed with Caroline coz i think it will dramatically improve things. GO BIRDTRICKS TEAM! WE LOVE U GUYS! 😍 🐦 🐥 🐥 🐤 🐥 🐥 🐦
