Working With One Frustrated Galah | Part 2

[@ris8065]

You should start a series called “bondi ignoring people” 😂

[@BirdTricks]

lol!

[@Whateverhasbeenmynameforyears]

I have a couple observations. The last bite was talking in her space again. Also I think there might be something in her person's energy that is hyping Fable (not just that she has practiced being heightened around her) because when she picked up Bondi, Bondi rocked out. And obliviously she was getting more heightened when working with her person despite being the same thing being asked by Jamie. Also in a similar vein I wonder if there is something about the unknown expectation that is causing the issue (not just the oblivious frustration and confusion) which would be supported by the play calming her. It was like the play cued to her that there were no expectations for specific behavior and thus she could relax. Horses and cats are more sensitive than dogs to the change when you are expecting something of them and I am betting that is something that Cockatoos are more sensitive to which might be part of why they are less predictable. Being unaware of how expectation changes their "energy" this is something I have noticed with people who are not nondivergent or don't interact with people who are nondivergent. Trying to teach people to train horses I have run into this same kind of feed back problem where they are exuding "I WANT SOMETHING FROM YOU," and so the horse is giving them options of things they might want but not getting a release from that energy or a reward for good behavior so they become more sensitive to that person releasing that pressure causing them to come up with random behaviors to "appease" the person who does not know that they are cueing. This leads to naughty/scary behavior because they scare the person into not expecting/asking for things. (I am not explaining well I hope this makes sense to someone who could benefit from knowing it is a thing)

[@BirdTricks]

Really interesting observations and I totally got a visual with the horse example when you were explaining so it definitely made sense to me. Thanks for sharing!

[@Whateverhasbeenmynameforyears]

@@BirdTricks Yay glad to help. :)

[@bkm2797]

So glad you brought Bondi to help Fable get a better picture in her mind, and having Kelsie work with Bondi to see how it feels step by step really seemed to bring the rollover home. Great job, and Thanks for sharing!🥇

[@Deanekels]

Shows the "birdie bubble" example clearly. Kelsie and Fable are a great team.

[@kellyharney2385]

Seeing this comment months later but in case you’re still wondering - if you’re in like 3 feet of your birds space they think everything you’re doing is training so the bird views all hand gestures as a cue which could be very frustrating if you’re just talking and moving your hand around. You have to get out of their training space unless you’re training them 😇

[@megsutube1815]

I learned that a bird can handle more repetition than I had thought.

[@naomimickens9828]

YOU GUYS ARE FANTASTIC TEACHERS! CAPRI IS FOLLOWING IN YOUR FOOTSTEPS SHES ABOUT TO TAKEOVER😂😂😘😘#LOVE YOU GUYS😘

[@HelloHi-sk6kv]

Yes part 2!!! Also you guys deserve so much more attention like you guys do such great. And amazing things and taught me so much just from your videos to! Also I’m finally early!

[@BirdTricks]

Thank you so much!

[@impc8347]

I love your videos because it teaches me how to be a better bird mom as well as a parent (and wife!). You guys are awesome

Other people watching birds - I’m watching them raise the most amazing young daughter. Capri is an absolute gem 💞💎

[@RedHeadForester]

You guys are very good at training birds and amazing when it comes to training humans!

[@MyJAG12345]

Lucky girl getting to work with Bondi!!😉 Such great tips! Every little detail really matters!

[@phelpsuzan]

Two very important things I learned from Fable and Kelsey are the birdy bubble and permission based training.

[@irmamartinez7479]

Hey! Just wanted to say that I really like when you guys make these type of videos of when you go to people s houses and work with there birds. Its really helpful and I've learned a lot from them.

[@justAnne49]

What did i learn!,a learnt alot,and a now no that i will have to change alot of things for my birds and me,thank you birdtricks,a will for sure be watching more,and learning loads along the way ❤🦜❤🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@NancyH25]

This was a great 2 part series because it was working on the relationship between the owner & bird. But also on the owner accidentally causing frustration & anxiety in her bird. I think we all have accidentally confused our birds while training. This was a great video on shaping the bird’s behavior & the owner learning how to cue specific behavior. I do think Kelsie needs to be more patient with Fable & pay more attention to Fable’s body language during the training sessions.

[@Laura-ny2un]

I learned that you have to be clear about your intentions. Training helps us to communicate. If we have unclear body language it is because in our head there is no clear idea of ​​what(and how) we want to communicate. My caique did the same thing because she felt that I didn't even know what to ask then I started planning the training sessions, being clear about the start and end of the session and never forgot to use clicker. The behavior went away. Thank you

[@butterflysandoval722]

Love all birds🥰🥰🥰 And all birds lovers🥰🥰🥰 You guys are the best!!!

[@tiffanythompson6178]

Aww!! Bonnie Boo is such a sweetheart!

[@shelbrindahl6633]

So good watching Capri assist. She’s so observant!Showing us how she saw those moments and changed her approach with Bondi helps us see them too. Great work, Capri! You’re a genuine bonus level of value on a masterclass. 💞🐦

[@sabanoor7480]

Awwww this is the cutest thing I have ever seen in my life 😍❤️

[@elmerhernandez2611]

I know that there might be a language barrier, but have you guys ever considered doing work in Latin America? A lot of the birds in the pet trade come from there and as a result birds are a very common pet. What’s sad is that these birds more often than not are abused-I think introducing BirdTricks to people in Latin America would make a huge difference!

[@jennymccracken8108]

@ELMER HERNANDEZ maybe you could help by providing translations? If not you, then find someone who can do Spanish commentary for the most important videos

[@shoepanda]

This would be so great. It would be nice to see someone tackle abuse and neglect of birds in Latin America, but it's a big job there and throughout the world.

[@divyagupta1561]

Yay......!!!!! Finally the 2nd part is out Plus it features Beautiful Bondi❤️

[@joyar1924]

I really enjoyed them training the rollover.

[@LauraBethHelen]

They did a great job.

[@YeshItsCourtney]

I learned that even though we lose those we love, they are always with us. That even though Bandit is gone, for that split second you felt emotion he was there in spirit and that was so touching to me ❤️

[@hrhosmer]

Hi there! What a fun informative video. Toenails getting caught sure spoils the fun. My galah never gets stuck on my bed sheet. I’m thinking of making a “training pad” out of a sheet or pillow case. I’m hoping I can manage roll over some day. Hugs 🤗

[@puppypundit]

This like is just for Bondi offering the behaviour without a cue. hahahahahahaha! :) so cute!

This is not what You want ,Galah s are beautiful ❤ This bird is So eager to Train ! Teach me

[@GumriRN]

OMG! 😱 @08:30° she flipped on her own got NO TREAT & then got so confused, “Where’s ‘My Darn Treat?! Then she looked around as if you say, HEY YOU GUYS! Pay Attention; this is a real training session & you guys aren’t sticking to the TREAT RULES! Oh my ❤️ broke for her. That’s why I could never have a beautiful 🐦. My frustration for the bird would cancel-out any bird disappointment with my mistakes. Bird Trainers are such talented people.

Baby galah noises by Fable at 11:54. We have a lot of fledgelings around our area at the moment and you get that call when they're looking for something from mum and dad or they're getting ready to roost. Lovely bird - how old is Fable?

[@troublingleaf]

I feel when Jamie got playful it was like calling her bluff, like she's the biggest baddest bully until somebody isn't afraid of her.

[@sherrymathes5640]

To go back to where it was good and start from there and changing it up with someone else doing the training to reset the birds thought process

[@leafafalian7964]

My green cheek conure sometimes starts angry training too. He gets heightened and then starts manic training, when he'll do what I ask, but aggressively. He takes treats aggressively, targets aggressively, etc. Sometimes if his energy builds without me noticing he'll even go into uncontrolled flights around the very small room we train in. And this isn't even working on new things necessarily. I think with him, part of it is his impatience that I don't do things at his preferred speed lol.

[@maire9333]

What did I learn from watching this? :D I learned that if you can't do it, try a bit different approach. The second time you both sneaked the trick in, she did not even see it coming from that way :D That is why maybe she did not have any time to panic. It's like working with a 3yo :D

[@ryanmichalski49]

cockatoo's are SO neurotic!

[@fafnir8714]

After seeing Jamie execute the behavior from Fable relatively easily, I'm thinking half of the issue was also just that the owner kept pulling her hand back into herself as she tipped Fable off of it without noticing. I'm unsure of if you guys did off camera, but maybe just practicing without a bird on what the hand motion should look like would help. She seemed generally a bit absent minded of what she was doing physically with her body, which might have also contributed to the arousal from Fable. Hope this doesn't come off as judgment however, she seems very intune with her birds emotions, but less in tune with her own energy. Its interesting to see. She was very self aware of her birds issues, but not how she was causing them. This seems common in the bird owners you guys visit with. I wonder why!

@Bri sounds good! I did let my budgies wings grow in and he bumps into wimdows too much, it was recomended by his vet to clip his wings so thats what i did. Hes doing great now

[@Laura-vl9iy]

I was concerned that she is giving sunflower seeds as treats. Our Cherry's first avian veterinarian said that Rose Breasted Cockatoos should never be given sunflower seeds. The sunflower seeds cause fatty deposits. I love your videos.

[@joebean3615]

She only used them as a treat and yes as a complete or more than other foods would cause fatty liver but in small amounts they’re fine

[@Laura-vl9iy]

@@joebean3615 Thank you for the clarification. I have had 4 more months of watching Bird Trick videos. I have come to the conclusion that just about everything we learned about taking care of our cockatoos was wrong! Cherry, our galah, is one of three cockatoos. She is perfect.

[@ryanmichalski3490]

That is a really annoying!! Lol

13:10° I’m wondering whose home this is, and do they mind their hassock is now bird poop 💩 stained? If I got a bird to train, it’s probably a superb idea 💡 to keep the furniture colours & materials types resistant to 🐦 💩.

[@joanahazmi3467]

I have a cockatiel and he knows target training and will only step up with luring I’m not sure how to train him to step up without it and even if he knows he’s getting a treat once he realizes I’m not gonna give it to him he just goes back

[@julliencurtis1955]

Try stepping down and see if they are more comfortable with that or stepping back

[@nataliewatterson9043]

I'm not super experienced but you could try rewarding after a few seconds of stepping up and gradually reward after more and more time

Always give your bird a treat after you quew him

Tamed or trained? Trick-training isn't really required, although it's a good bonding activity. Would definitely convince your friend to see an avian vet for those feathers. Maybe a professional would be able to change their mind?

I do offer those for the $5 tier on my Patreon, or you can get the digital download version of the book for half the price as well. I recommend the book mostly because it is not just recipes, it's a course on understanding parrot nutrition and diet conversion.

How to we train an Indian ring neck 3years old boy

[@sandraraituma]

Wow that is a questions that asks for a very very long answer! - I bet the same way other birds? :) Try watching her videos, start with a proper diet & target training.

[@unrealvegetable1098]

I have a female indian ringneck,she came to me in my Nan's backyard and I could never find her owners, I've had her for 3 years now, her name is Gandhi and she used to be the bitiest bird ever, would attack you just for being near her cage, I watched many Bird tricks videos and she now steps up onto m hand and she does a little spin she is my best friend. I suggest watching older Bird tricks videos, they have some on an Indian ringneck. Lots of patience and treats and talking is what worked for me. She is a nightmare for chewing things she shouldn't so I give her lots of bark and sticks to chew on. The way I got her used to my hand was using a 40cm long Branch and I would give her treats for stepping onto it. And use the stick to carry her around the house and to put her back in her cage. She now sits on my shoulder in the shower, she loves baths, I first used the stick to get her used to showers, she would still try to bite me and I found distracting her with calm words and whistling helped stop the biting, slowly over time I got a shorter stick and she doesnt ever try to bite me anymore. Indian ringnecks are so beautiful. I wish you the best of luck with your boy :)
