I wanted to give you all an update on how Zoom is doing with his new human mom, Laurie! Laurie's is a freeflight student of ours who graduated our course with her green wing macaw, Jewels but always wanted a blue throated macaw. I adopted Zoom out to her and she has been working with him ever si...

Jinx and Zip showering 🚿

Thought I’d share this cute video of these two showering today. Zip is definitely more into Jinx than he is to her, she’s always trying to get close to him and he’s always moving away but he’s sooo tolerant of her and I think it’s helping her so much to have him around her to show her ther...

Ava Update (Pre-Surgery)

This is an update video from Ava's first flight trip with Claude as her mom back in January. This trip was in California and so it was much easier for Claude to attend being in her state. At this time, Claude was doing a ton of dietary changes to prep Ava for surgery which included absolutely no...

BTT - Cleaning Up Your Training/Behaviors

In today's BTT trick training edition I thought it would be good to show you how I often go back and clean up previously trained behaviors. Really ensuring the bird understands the cue for each one.

How cute are these two? 💚🩵

Monet and Blueberry have become such great friends 🥹

One of my favorite moments this month…

As most of you know, we are currently on a flight trip and this quick clip shows me flying Jinx and Zip together. They flew from Dave to me and it was just a really special moment. Zip is progressing a lot. 🩵

How long does it take us to pack? Watch to see...

Alright, last month Tony asked us how long does it take us to pack for a month-long freeflight trip? And that's a loaded question so I decided to document our packing process as much as I could. With Capri's birthday celebrations (we celebrated before we left with her friends) AND Easter wee...

Tasty Tuesday (idea for this month!)

However, I am very hopeful to finish the photo side of things in May and video a lot of it for you guys at that point.For this month, I wa...

BTT: Training Prim to FLIP!

In today's video I am sharing how I taught Primrose our parrotlet to flip around on our finger. This is best trained using luring and then phasing out the lure. Remember, you can simply train your bird to hang upside down in a bat-like position or take it all the way around as a flip. The traini...

Flight Training with the Brothers Today!

Today I have a different flight training video for you - working with my Camelot macaws! I'm so ready to be able to use this aviary more often and I think they are too. ☀️If there's some specific flight training sessions you'd like to see, please request them in a comment below. Late...

It's a bit chilly out 🥶

I love my conditioning aviary so much I just want to use it ALL. THE. TIME! I think it's important to acknowledge that your birds aren't going to always want to train when you do. Sometimes, they just don't and that's okay. I like working with multiple birds for that reason - it give...
