Parrot Handling 101 | Proper Handling With Pet Birds

Today I am talking about the most common parrot handling mistakes I see among clients. Some of which include:
1. Making the spot you don't want the bird to be, the most comfortable spot TO BE!
2. Over compensating for your parrot (they can balance!)
3. Inconsistent handling overall.

One of your best demo videos. I especially liked how you show even a well trained bird will react "badly" when handled improperly. Good job Tusa.

She always makes ours days better by uploading!

I love that you always seem to know exactly what I needed

Tusa's intention is to focus on the hand that serves the treats.

I remember this "foot first"&"beak first" thing from Morgan training at the very beginning when she learned to properly step up&down. :) :) :)

You know, there are so many videos online telling us how to behave with our pet birds, but yours are the best because you put in so much time and effort on all the videos, love the way you explain the birds perspective, there's so many more things to say that make you unique, it's amazing how you handle any species of birds with so much love and patience. Your methods have helped me gain trust with my bird as well, I thank you wholeheartedly! :)

I don't even keep birds and I'm obsessed with this channel, those macaws are beautiful ❤️

I have been watching your videos for weeks now. Why, I am not sure. I have zero intentions of ever getting a bird.

However, this video resolved something traumatic that happened in my childhood. I was pecked in the face by a relative's bird. Now, I realize the bird was crawling up my arm trying to find the highest and most comfortable spot on me!

Thank you for such clear and informative videos!

I really like the 'hang the birb up in the cage' bit. I struggle putting my tiel back in his cage, he always lunges for my hand as soon as he steps off. This should help that

BirdTricks never fails to make me smile.

Tattoo looks so delicate and pretty

my parents always had parrots, and I was raised with a green cheek conure. He died when I was 19, and I had a traumatizing experience with a sun conure when I was looking into getting another one years ago. I am finally growing brave again and getting a sun conure baby next week! I have put a lot of thought into it, but am ready for the adventure. I have been binging your videos, thank you so much!!

Tusa is the star today. I've never seen him so eager to train!

@sandraraituma 5 years ago

Both brothers are so CUTE! Long time no see!
"Hanging up my bird" part was kinda funny :D -
"Hold on, I"ll just hang my bird here real quick!"

@phoenyx_jessalynn 5 years ago

Their colors are breathtaking and the way they act towards each other as competitive brothers, but also as buddies. These guys are swiftly becoming among my favorite(s) of your flock members. Because everyone loves Blue to the Berry! LOL

Thank you so much for this "How to" video!!! I need all the basic handling advice I can get before my Camelot baby comes home!

This video has made me realize I may have made landing in my head my lovebirds “comfort spot” since I’m not being confident in where I want him to land I will try your tips!
