I really appreciate how you warn people who could buy a parrot on an impulse that are difficult pets. It shows you care about these animals

Yes. People take on these birds - and other animals - on an impulse not understanding they have specific needs and are sentient beings.

Anyone watching this probably already knows how amazing African Grays are….so the owner needs an applause here for doing such an amazing job training this bird. You can tell the relationship is outstanding and the bird is happy. Thanks for sharing. 👍🏻👍🏻

"So do you have a kid?" "I have a birb." "Oh shit my bad."

Smoky is well taken care of and I just wanted to let you know that I think your Educational videos a Super because they inform people that birds are a HUGE responsibility and highly demanding in their specific daily needs and it's a life time commitment! Thanks!

She is SOOO beautiful. What a lovely little lady she is.

Just wanted to applaud you for your message in this video. I love all animals. Too many times people get animals that are not a good match for their livestyle. And the animal suffers. Thank you for educating others. And smokey is awesome. She is lucky to have such a committed and intelligent owner.

Only trick my bird do is BITE THE HELL OUT OF EVERYBODY 🤦🏻‍♂️

ONE OF THE BEST PARROTS EVER!!! WELL DONE!!!

Wow! Smart and beautiful African Grey! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I love the fact that he doesn't cripple the bird by clipping it's wings. Birds were meant to fly.

Not like a haircut at all. A haircut does not limit your ability to move around. A bird’s primary mobility is flight.

Sameer Yousaf in my house i stick a paper on all the fans control written: don’t open and we never open unless important and keep the parrot inside the cage.. so u don’t need to clip the parrot wings just for a fan accident 💔..

@@wingsNpaws yea but there's more dangers around the house than the fan tho, most we aren't even immediately aware, so I think clipping your birds wings is good until you train it to listen to you and fly to you etc, if u get a new bird its best to have it clipped until it gets used to you

That bird is so amazing. Im sure this took years of training

My dad's African Grey was born a month later than I was. He made the horrible mistake of buying the bird at 2 weeks old. However he did learn more about taking care about a parrot. There is footage of that 10 month old parrot feeding me when I were young. Haha. The best part is that that African Grey may as well outlive me too. It's not probable, but it is possible.

I'm watching this as I nurse a deep bite on my finger from our 18 yr old African Grey who's been with us since she was 4 months old. What am I doing wronnnnnnnggggggggggg!!!!!! Smokey is adorable. Respect for the hard work you've done learning to understand her ♡

What a beautiful reaction between you and Smokey. It is so heart-warming to see. Thank you so much....

Great job! She is well trained. She is very smart and sweet.

One of the most beautiful birds on earth

What a beautiful adorable bird. I loved watching your video Smokey ❤️

What a precious girl.

“Powerful Message”… Too many people get a bird on impulse not knowing the responsibility that you have “To Them”, not the other way around. Thank you!

UNBELIEVABLE . HATS OFF TO YOU GUYS . WORDS ARE TOO LESS TO DESCRIBE YOU GUYS

What a wonderful talents....god bless your amazing bird... 😘😘😘

This video probably should not have any dislikes

This bird will never be bored!

Absolutely fantastic your bond🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

My little Toz is as disciplined as Smokey thanks to your videos!

smokey you are awesome bird .... kisses from India....

I admire your persistence and intelligence. You make it a point to clarify that birds have different needs.

That's the coolest bird I have ever seen!

Thank you so much for spreading the word about how to properly take care of birds. I am a bird owner myself, and I've worked with a lot of birds who have come from abusive or neglectful households. I'm glad your videos are so informative for new owners or for possible owners, as it teaches a lot about how to own a bird. Smokey looks like she is really loved. I'm happy you have each other. :)

*laughs in service dog* haha. Just teasing. smart birdie each has their own awesome abilities ♡

Well done, congratulations! I have an African Grey as well... 4 years old. They are needy but much fun! She always wants to be with me.

I really love the balance you have with her. Always treating her with respect in a quiet manner. So nice to watch.

nancee Lowcarb Thanks for the positive feedback! I think the respect goes both ways and is so crucial in creating a genuine relationship with the bird.

It is good to see a bird that is properly trained and well cared for. Well done.

this video moved my feelings! i have an amazon parrot and i've been wanting to train him for so long, i feel very motivated right now

Great video!!! You are so sweet, caring & committed to rescue & education.!! Smokey is so clearly loved, & so are you!!!

I just I have to say that I love your tips and advice and really appreciate your channel. I'm part of a lot of bird forums and am a cockatiel owner myself. I can't tell you how many posts I see on forums from grey owners specifically or from other large bird owners who lament that their bird isn't cuddly or affectionate and "hates" them. I feel so comfortable linking your channel to them for tips because you really focus first and foremost on your bird's comfort level and emotional wellbeing, which is something a lot of these owners aren't paying as much attention to as they should. After watching your videos, they all say the same thing- that they didn't realize they were taking it too fast and pushing their bird too hard to bond with them. A few weeks or months later, they usually check in and say that they've made so much more progress with their bird taking it slow and steady and working at the bird's pace, and I even see them recommending your channel to other bird owners. In my opinion, there's no such thing as a "problem bird", only such a thing as a "problem owner". Thank you for shining light on these beautiful, amazing creatures and the realities that living with them entail. Thank you for helping frustrated bird owners change their perspective and grow better in their relationship with their bird. You're an asset to the community whether you realize it or not, and we are forever grateful.

Smokey's flight is very controlled. You thought her well :)

i know birds are smarter than dogs buts its still cool to see bird doing dog like things

I think it's great you let your parrot fly. Its so nice for her and gives her good exercise

I just LOVE your bird. LOTS OF LOVE FOR YOU SMOKY 😙😙😙😙

Awww she's beautiful. Such a clever bird xx

Wow, good job teaching the bird everything she knows. Very very smart bird

It's great to see Smokey strut'n her stuff :)

Greys almost seem clumsy, the way they walk and fly. So adorable!

Simply appreciated,awesom nature

🥰O love 💕 Smoky she is beautiful, smart, and funny.👍🏼 well done, good job.👍🏼

That was a great video! I love how you can see how happy your bird really is! I also love the words you have in the video! A very good message because otherwise people would see your video and think "Oh cool, I want one", without thinking about how much of a commitment they really are.

Omg 😮 why doesn’t this have a million views yet??

Beautiful video, love the added information which would be really helpful to new bird owners or people interested in birds. Liked and subscribed! :)

You’ve spent a lot of time with this bird. I’m so glad. These birds soo deserve that time. They are away from their species, and need their “flock” so humans become their flock, through no choice of their own. Amazingly bright animals, with prekindergarten intelligence. So I’ve heard, I think that’s an underestimation

Smokey is adorable, and everyone can see that she's a very happy bird!

You are a training genius I love the way you keep your gray you keep it active Naturally by giving it foraging toys and other things you have found the perfect way to keep an African grey keep up the good work your training methods look a lot more Humane than other trainers as well

Birds are highly intelligent. I have raised many birds in my life and will only own one on very certiain circumstances. No bird over 5 inches should be kept as a pet unless there are no other choices. Its nice to see Smokey lucked out and found a nice home. BUT please remember this takes years of working daily with lots of love. Most people are not capable of training an animal like this.

this video made my day for real, im so happy for see that new mentally in the owners :)

Awesome job! One smart bird indeed!

Excellent vid! Great advice for anyone thinking about having a pet bird... Thx for sharing!

this was soooo sweet. I love smokey !

Just amazing.

Smokey is really good.. I hope my Coco can also learn all the tricks

This is one adorable parrot! So intelligent and he can do tricks too! :) :)

I have a gray that is 4 years old his name is Bongo. I got him when he was 3 months old. He is the sweetest Little man thanks for sharing your videos because there's always room to learn something new. 👍🏻👍🏻

This video made me so hyper! why? BECAUSE THIS BIRD IS AWESOME!

Love it!!

Wow I didnt know they have such long lifespans! Thanks for sharing all this info with us 🙏🏼

“What do you like to do?” Dance! *bobs head enthusiastically*

Sooo beautiful

Good job!!!, Smookey is very inteligent and beautiful, !

AWESOME MAN! She Really trained you well!!! !-)

What a beautiful girl your Bird is and well trained. Wish my Grey did that when he was alive

Flying well.that's nice to watch.

So Cute!!!!

wow she's amazing.

She is So Smart and Beautiful 🤗💖

I want this pet...awwhhh really awesome

Realy beautiful video ! I`m so glad I can found your chanel, thank you for your experience with an African parrot :D

as a long time parrot owner, THANKS for the warning at the end. I kind of see my birds as feathered dogs, but they are indeed very different. You're a dog's "boss", you're a bird's partner/equal.

I enjoy how honest you are and tell the pros and cons I've only done 6 months of reasearch for 4 hours a day and volunteered I'm only 12 and I'm still concediring getting a sun conuer but the entire dime I only look for the cons cause they live a long time u have to take it into reality if u move and how much time your gonna have and how well u hand tame it and sometimes I think it may not be the best idea 💡 still consederite but I know they can be a bit messy (can usually be trained) squeak when u get them ( tameable) and the thing is is the entire time I pushed aside what I wanted and put it into reality so it's best manly for the bird cause they have delicate emotions and I agree with u n so many areas like it's not a good idea to get one cause it's not a dog that is really realistic right as u said a dog can forgive u but cause of a birds delicate emotions it's harder and if u travel a lot dum idea to get one and I've seen how aggressive they get I'm gonna get a crap tone of hat for the but look up @mavricparrot on instagram and I got 80 likes but people who are dum saying your trieng to make his owner Look bad and I'm not but u can't play with your parrot 15 min a week and he's so aggressive I'll get more hates that likes though that's my opinion

i love that your bird is able to fly ;)

you are an awesome trainer and bird owner.
