🐦💜 TO SUPPORT FUTURE PROJECT BIRDS: / birdtricks 💜🐦
💚 COMMENT AND TELL ME… would you have chosen LEFTY OR TOUCHE? Why???
💙 WHAT IS A PROJECT BIRD? 💙
A “project bird” is a bird deemed unadoptable, unwanted and untrainable/unmanageable. It must have something that makes it so that the owner/rescue cannot work with it.
My GOAL with project birds is to work with birds that NEED my help - whether they’re privately owned birds or living in a rescue, sanctuary or foster home until they can be adopted out. I want to work with the “unadoptable” the “untrainable” the… “bird no one wants and that wants no one” and make them not only adoptable, but lovable. I want to show the world their value. No bird is too old. It’s never too late.
Past project birds have stemmed from numerous circumstances; Rasta the alexandrine we met while filming our TV Series One Day Miracles. His fear and aggression was so severe that it was beyond the training capacity of his 10 year old owner. I took Rasta on for a summer and returned him indoor flight and trick trained, crate trained and willingly stepping up, eating healthy food, talking and loving baths (all things he hated prior). Watch Rasta’s transformation here; kzread.info...
While working with a Freeflight student, my husband saw her blue fronted amazon parrot who HATED men and was severely obese. Dave brought Storm home to work with him but of course, I couldn’t help myself and I trained him in 45 days to eat a healthy diet and outdoor free flight trained him. We also taught him to like men. Watch his transformation here; kzread.info...
Most recently I worked with a handicapped Camelot macaw named Morgan who belonged to a friend of mine. Prior to finding a forever home with my friend, Morgan was passed from home to home because of her foot deformity that she was hatched with due to improper breeding. I trained Morgan in 4 months time, you can view her transformation here; kzread.info...
I have NEVER charged anyone for my time in training a project bird. I have also never charged for food, boarding, transportation, toys, etc… this is why I have only been able to do project birds very rarely.
Because the word is spreading about these project birds and the work I do with them, I’m getting more requests to work with more birds. As much as I want to be able to take on project birds more often, I’m not in a financial position to be constantly doing so. That is, not without the help of my patrons over at www.patreon.com/birdtricks. Because of my patrons, I am able to take on project birds more often which makes my heart so happy.
To take on Lefty OR Touché it will cost me $1,580 for three months of providing toys, pellets, fresh food, transporting to/from (I’m driving to do so, so gas money only - but yeah, I have a truck so gas hog!) I'm not including food/hotel expenses or including the my own time for training. Obviously project birds demand a lot of time, especially initially, as I first work with them and that is time that takes away from my own birds, consultations and opportunity costs.
Thank you to my clients, Patrons and my subscribers here on KZread for constantly pushing me and helping me - it was a client who made me create a Patreon account and it was a subscriber who pushed me to monetize my channel, and it’s everyone who is pushing me to take on more project birds and find a way to make it financially possible to help more birds. I appreciate you all so very much whether you watch my videos without ever commenting, or you take part by sharing, commenting and giving a thumbs up. I love those of you who go the extra mile and give me feedback in my community tab. I love being able to get my inspiration from all of you and help birds in the process of doing so. There’s so many important messages I want to spread in appreciation of my project birds.
Here is what some of my project birds have taught me:
Rasta: Face your fears.
Morgan: Even if others give up on you, never give up on yourself.
Storm: It’s never too late.
ChiChi: Don’t forget to play.

    I think over time it would be best to work with the Indian ring neck in addition to the quicker. You’ve shown many examples of working with a bird that is aggressive but I think it would be interesting to show you working with a bird that was damaged so drastically physically by humans. I think the story of this Indian ring neck or a bird with a similar physical condition caused by ignorant humans would be a really good story for the internet to have. It might bring some awareness to the harm we can do by being misinformed. Thanks and love you as always. You guys are the best.

    Yes, I wish she could take both on. I think the ringneck will be a much less challenging subject and might not be as time consuming. Also, the Quaker will need a lot of down time I would think, as too much interaction would be overwhelming for him and might stunt his growth, so it might be good to have the little ringneck to work with in the quaker's downtime. I know that youtubers have to constantly keep grinding with the videos, so that might be a good way to stay fully stocked up. :p (Basically me making excuses as to why she needs two and not one :p)

    Personally, i would love you to take on both birds since they both had a special need that would be great to help them with. I’m very excited for this journey and hope after Lefty, you are able to take on The Indian Ringneck as your next project. The experience I had with Quaker parrots was my Aunt’s male quaker named TRIX, who was very aggressive and would bite due to my uncle inhibiting the behavior of biting by always poking him and such, thus Trix believed this was play. With my aunt and her daughter, Trix was very loving and playful. He was super talkive and learned to say “TE PICO!” (Spanish for “I’ll bite u!”) and “AL QUE TE PICO (i’m gonna bite you) before he would lunge to bite. Trix would bot let anyone but my aunt and her daughter pet and touch him. I used the Birdtricks Power Pause tactic on him in a span of 2-3 days and I was able to pet his head and interact with him without him wanting to bite me. They are smart birds Unfortunately my aunt and uncle didnt follow through with the training to train the aggressiveness out of Trix and Trix continued his aggression to the point he was rehomed =,( But quakers are very amazing birds and when trained right, very loving and playful. Amazing talkers and look so cute and pudgy when they puff up in happiness.

Every time I tell people I have birds people always respond with "oh they're meeeeeean" birds being aggressive and hating everyone is unfortunately very common and I think taking on a rarer case such as a butchered clip would have been more educationally valuable.

But somewhat in my mind felt that you should also adopted indian ring neck bird... This is my experience.. My friends mom raised indian ring neck bird some 15yrs ago, at that time ring necked birds are not banned to raise in home.. That bird name was chika he use to talk nice and follow his owner and they never clipped his feathers.. And he use sit on my lap and loves me too.. He is not aggressive but soft natured.. Every thing went fine.. Then our goverment banned indian ring neck bird to raise in home or to captivate and only exotic birds are allowed... Forest department came and seized chikka.. He talked to officers that he wont come he wont come... But nothing to do.. They put him in a sanctuary... Because of worries and despair not able to see his beloved owner... He died two days later... Still i cant digest it.. Then my friend mom died after six months because she slipped from balcony while thinking about chikka.. I love them but cant raise them... This is my first bird connection.. Then i started raising roosters.. Please adopt touche some time later. People need to educate about bird clipping... Excited to see lefty.. Is he a left legged bird? How is morgan now? Thanks for informing us..🙏

    I'm so glad you decided to work with lefty :) Quaker parrots are a soft spot for me. I'm sure you know this, but something to note (about males in particular) is that they tend to be EXTREMELY cage territorial. Most Quaker owners will get their birds to step up onto a stick to get out of their cage in order to avoid provoking aggression. I personally never had that issue with my Quaker, but she appears to be the exception 😂

    If you want to clip a birds wings, you have the wrong pet. Birds have wings, it’s the only thing going for them. If you are getting a bird just to clip their wing, get a dog or any other animal for crying out loud.

    Why get a dog of it's going to be on a leash... that comment is so stupid! It's being a responsible owner. If the house isn't big enough, it'll keep the bird from injury and possibility of flying away. People leave doors open when getting groceries etc.

    I have 2 Quaker parrots and I would love to see you work with a quaker as both quakers I have are tough cases. One is extremely aggressive and is a one person lover and the other just wants to be left alone and was so emaciated when we rescued him. We've worked so hard with them and we still have a long way to go and I believe you will help us through your journey. So glad you chose Lefty.

    I just came across your channel, yesterday. So much love to you, your family, and all the birds. I miss our Quaker parrot soooo much! She was our first (and only) bird. We adopted her from our young, raver kid, neighbor, who was getting a divorce and moving, and felt like moving a cute bird in a large cage, a long distance, was too difficult. He just gave her away. It took a couple days for her to trust us, but afterwards, my father and I had both built a great relationship with her. When we first adopted her we were told she was a male. We had no idea what shock awaited us. One day after having her for quite a while, she started acting really grouchy. She's been so sweet before, and I couldn't figure out what was going on. Shortly thereafter, she'd laid an egg in her cage! Surprise - not a male! Hah The next time her egg cycle came around, she flew out the front door! We were devistated. A couple months later, I was pumping fuel at the gas station near our home... Guess who flew down from a palm tree?! Yep! It was her! She saw me pumping gas, and flew up to say hello, and to let me know why she left. It turns out, she was nesting in the palm tree by the street corner where the gas station was located. We lived on an island where there were a small number of Quakers. On a rare occasion, one could see a few flying around the island. She'd left to start a new season of her life, as a momma. It would seem that she paired with one of the wild parrots, and they started a family. She flew back and forth between me and palm and showed me that was where she was nesting. Although I couldn't see that high, I could hear the precious chirps of babies coming from the palm tree. 🐣🌴 That was the last time I saw her. It was such a sweet, and beautiful moment. I'll never forget it. The flock on the island has since grown and flourished, their wild numbers are coming back, and I like to think she helped make that happen.💚 Before she came into our lives, I'd only ever had one previous experience with a bird...it was traumatizing! My mother had been dating a man who had a few birds. On the first day of meeting him at his home, we were casually sitting on the couch in the living room. His big white bird was hanging out, with us, on the back of the couch. Out of nowhere, this psycho bird ran down my arm and chomped a triangular (1cm) chunk out of my right leg! Great first experience, right?! 😱😭 It was a sulfur crested cockatoo...It's like the bird is extremely energetically sensitive, but reacts with the exact opposite of empathy. It was psycho! .. Truly traumatizing. Our Quaker helped me to heal from that traumatic experience, and showed me the beautiful relationships which can be possible with birds (even when they're grouchy). And we helped her heal and thrive dispite having come from a chaotic, smokey, loud, home where fighting happened almost daily. I'm so grateful for, "Bird" coming into our lives, and while I'm delighted to know she's made a fantastic life for herself, I miss her dearly. 😘🐦😢💚

The Quaker parrot, I believe will be a huge challenge in diverse ways, providing many learning opportunities for things that we might be experiencing now, or will experience in the future. I'm a rescue, and my parent worked long and hard, never giving up on me. God bless you with all that you do! Looking forward to your upcoming videos.

    Yay! I am so excited to see you work with Lefty! My mother and I had a Quaker surrendered to us in my twenties. Neither of us had any experience with birds. This meant a lot of our interactions were through trial and error. Petey sadly passed away unexpectedly while I was away one weekend. I never knew why. My mother has never be able to talk to the event either. Knowing what I know now from your education on diet, I am sure that had something to do with his passing. During my short time with him, I found him to be one of my favorite companions. Petey was very smart and was very eager to play/learn new things. My favorite game with him was peek-a-boo. During our bonding times, we would play rounds of peek-a-boo where I would place a piece of fabric over him and remove it for him to say peek-a-boo. As adorable as he would be saying words and phrases, we quickly discovered how noisy this little bird can be. Quakers as a breed have a locator call similar to your sun conures. Not having him on a good schedule for his to be out of his cage, he would often start calling as soon as one of us came home. Some days were better than others. His noise level certainly increased when he started developing his sexual urges. Quakers are also very territorial. We were not able to reach into his space / cage without him becoming aggressive. I found ways around this when it came for him to be out of the cage. Just by allowing him to come out on his own, rather than reaching in was the preferred method. My experience with him developed my love for birds and quest to seek more knowledge on how to properly care for a bird for a companion. In my quest for knowledge, I came across your KZread channel and have been watching you ever since. You have been one of leading sources of information for Birds and bird care that I regularly go to. I have learned through you how to properly interact with birds and become an educated potential future bird caretaker. I now feel confident in making a thoughtful an educated decision if I were to choose to bring another bird into my home. Thank you for that! Best of luck with Lefty! I am looking forward to watching your interactions with this temperamental little guy. I am very excited to see work with Lefty

I've taught him around 13 tricks and is pretty social, except not for children.
