VIEW PART TWO HERE: Day 1 With Bean The Terrified African Grey...

No judgment should be passed on people who come face to face with the reality of having to rehome their birds. Bean has been legally surrendered to Ronie's For the Love of Birds Parrot Rescue. You can apply to adopt Bean off their website once I'm done working with him here:

Don't forget to support your local bird rescues! Your time is the best donation to these birds, as well as making them fresh, healthy food to eat or sending them toys to chew on. It doesn't always have to be a financial donation - you can even consider being a foster parront!

Thank you to my patrons over at Patreon for making it possible for me to take on Bean and other project birds:

Hey guys! So this video seems to be getting a lot of new traction recently and I wanted to jump on here and address a few things. I can see that there are many people who are seeing this video for the first time and are only getting a tiny portion of the picture with Bean. This video is the first of a two part series of his first day with me. Part two is here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JsIr7Q6Xi4. There is also a reaction video that I filmed responding to the concerns viewers had and some negative reactions. I believe this video will help many of you viewing this video for the first time understand this process with Bean much better. Here is the link to the reaction video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dy90V8lpi2M&t=328s. Bean's journey is not complete in just one video - this is one of twenty videos that were filmed. His transformation was so amazing and had such a happy ending that I decided to share this complete series over from our Patreon Channel so that more people could be inspired by his story. While the complete series is still in the process of being released, the happy ending video is here already and I would encourage anyone with concerns to check this out as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wBpCHuSckk

It breaks my heart that bean doesn’t understand why he is no longer with his flock .. feeling scared 😔

@GeckoOnTheWall 6 years ago

Personally I would have offered his normal food, something he knows in a different environment

"He's interested in me" the bird who looks away from her

@annak5424 6 years ago

I feel so bad for him. Hes severly terrified and has just lost the family he has had for 9 years.

@jurassicjen_uk 6 years ago

The massive bright ring light for the sake of making a YouTube video is probably especially terrifying. You can’t instantly take all his comforts away either, should be gradual.

when we get new animals at the animal park, we will give them a full day to come out. Let them get used to the sounds and motions of the place without forcing any interaction. It works really well

@gabib4966 6 years ago

Imagine your friend coming over and knowing that she’s there to give you her pet cuz she’s dying

@smartsoe123 6 years ago

I would play some sponge bob music. It’s something familiar that he likes. My heart broke when he was trembling :(

@pugthebandit8263 3 years ago

She said Bean loves music. I would've left him in the carry cage & played Spongebob songs for a bit, singing along to the music. I also would've sung to him when coaxing him out of the cage. Not that anyone asked me😂

@rebeccamccoy1763 6 years ago

You know he likes music. SpongeBob. Something familiar.

@mendesarmy6096 6 years ago

You took 40 minutes before you got impatient and tried to get Bean adjusted but heck, it took me three weeks for my bird to come out! You're too impa

@sarabovenzi378 3 years ago

I think leaving him in his safe space and allowing him to move out when he was ready would have been the wiser option.....the spirit of patience was sadly missing.

@katiekm6720 6 years ago

The bird probably though he was being abandon by its family since there a kid 😭

@j.d.4246 6 years ago

That poor bird is scared. He needs a quiet place to decompress and take in all the new changes. New people, new surroundings. Take the pressure off until he's acclimated and ready to interact.

@mammamafia 5 years ago

im not a bird expert, but GOSH, that was hard to watch!

@CruisingwithWarrenSea 6 years ago

Not sure why they didn't understand this was stressful for him. They needed to give him space not force him. All he knows is they are strangers.

@seventiesgirl6449 6 years ago

I felt so bad for Bean. Imagine how terrified he must have been, wondering why he doesn't have his home anymore. When he was trembling, my heart broke.
