My parents gave me birds when I was a kid in the 80s, and we all treated them like they were the pet that should be commanded and fear us, as humans treated all animals back then. So glad I have lived through a time when we now all see that if we treat animals like they’re more of a partner in our lives we can have much more enriching experiences with them, and bring so much more joy into our own lives as well

hmm can I ask what you mean by that/what you did to commander that fear? I have 2 rescues that are a nightmare to try to work with in a lot of ways, due to years of abuse, their former owner loved them very much, just didn't know what he was doing with them & messed them up really badly. He was of that older generation though, so that's probably what he did to them, if I can learn what that involves, maybe that will help me break through to mine. Mine say "I love you" repeatedly anytime they're feeling stressed, which I find incredibly sad, but it would be very consistant with what you are saying there wouldn't it, that he used some sort of force to make them talk & thought he was doing right by them in doing it

I really love her discussion at the start about her journey from "what I say goes, full stop" to being more mindful of motivation and not being afraid to coax when needed. I am a dog trainer and have to work through that same mental shift with clients ALL the time!

There are several wild galahs that often feed in the grass outside my lounge room. Very cute when they walk fast. I also get lots of lorikeets and a couple of sulphur crested cockatoos and corellas. Very occasionally I see a shy king parrot too. It’s very entertaining to have lots of native parrots around outside.

I know I'm learning good stuff watching this channel. I noticed the violation of the birdy bubble before it was brought up. The owner was going "I do this and I do this, and this and this...", showing Dave the hand signals while standing right in the bird's space. The bird was like wtf.

OMG HER VOICE IS THE CUTEST THING I EVER HEARD

I’m sooo glad the gentleman asked Dave to explain his comments about percentages (80/20, 60/40, etc.) & Dave’s crystal clear response (using target stick for visual clarification as well). Bravo all around. I’m always learning from you. Simple basic concepts for J & D can become big “aha” moments for us neophytes! Thx so much! :-)

If I owned my own house I would get a bird. The first thing I would do is sign up for a programme like yours to teach me how to bird.

Omg I love the "Hey cutie" her voice is so sweet and cute

What an adorable bird.

Yeah. Glad you guys have so much info about galahs. They are hard work. Love my little boy but yes, he's smart and he's naughty. He does trust me though, he gives great cuddles and I can pick him up and hold him. Never had to teach him to step up. His voice is very different though. He talks a lot but he sounds a lot like me which is a bit creepy 😂😂 mimics my laugh, my cough, the way I actually say things, he puts emphasis in the same places in words and phrases that I do.

Omg she has the cuteness voice ever

This session was delightful. I love it when there's the feeling that the bird is really going to benefit from what its humans are learning. Looking forward to more on this galah if possible and finding out Dave's thoughts on perch height!

She’s so pretty! Love her color.

What a beautiful bird

Jamieleigh, u nailed this one! SERIOUSLY THE CUTEST PARROT VOICE EVER!! This bird is DELICIOUS!! Lucky bird and owner💕

What a darling bird and so much energy. The lady who owns her is really calm and sweet.

I love that Jamie contact calls back to every whoo

Would really appreciate a play by play pointing out what the parrot is doing and what that communicates. Like glauhs and when they puff their cheeks around their beaks and their light pink head feathers stay slick.

What an endearing and relatable couple! Bird was adorable!! Thanks for sharing, so helpful. ☺️

I wish I had discovered clicker training before I got my Ringneck. When I learned clicker training with my figs, he was old and VERY SET in his ways and wanted no part of it. He was a great talker, but I regret not teaching him tricks. He lived to be 32.

Oh, my word, this soooo made my day -- she is just TOO CUTE!!!!

I agree she does have a cute voice

I'd love to have a bird again and have it interact with a lot of different people. Such a wonderful video.

Highly instructional video! I love watching your masterclasses; I learn so much from them, even though I have your complete collection already! I am impressed with the range of tricks the owner has taught her galah so far, and how Dave zoned in on one thing she could do better so the bird lives in greater harmony with the rest of the family. Hats off to the husband, as well, for being willing to build a relationship with the bird!

I have a baby Indian ring neck I believe is currently going through the bluffing stage and doesn’t really let me get close and will usually fly away instead of stepping up which causes some problems when I’m trying to get them back in their cage.

The weird thing is despite no clicker training or any of that I want the best umbrella cockatoos around or parrots in general according to some of the vets I've seen. Maybe they clickers work if you don't see them much. But if you're constantly around your bird my friend had the same problem as I do you can't really train them if you're constantly with them like they just will not respond at all to a click

Her chewy story! Hahahha SAME! Im a trainer w a casually trained chewy! Hahahaha i use my happy voice very often w her. Lil dogs dont care! Hahaha after 10 yrs w my Olive girl iv learned permission based training and i love it so much more! Its helped me with body language w dogs and other animals. Amd watching your vids insee how much transfers over to birds AND to confirm that i DO read bird body language correctly ♡♡ im excited to start fostering

I do the same thing like that lady does

I think my bird might be broken watching all these videos

Beautifully bird, its a boy by the way!

Wheres part 2 at???

That's something I try to stay aware of when stick training. I've trained myself to point the stick down and behind me and if using spray millet I hold it out of site when not offering her treat.

I would never use multiple clicks. The click marks the wanted behavior and has to always be followed by the treat, which is the reinforcement. That’s all - do not mess that up. Personally I auit using the clicker, I only click my tongue, works as well and you always have it with you. The only exception is if the animal is long enough away from you so you need the clicker to get a loud enough noise. But many animals do not like the clicker sound, find it scary, then clicking your tongue or e.g. making a «ding» or «ping» sounds is a great alternative. 🤗

Captive bred populations in other countries makes for a really good backup population if/when the native population declines in numbers. A lot of Australian birds could benefit from having a captive population since a lot of them are doing so badly in the wild. Not saying every species should be in the pet trade obviously, most of them should be in special facilities/zoos, but having a backup stock of birds kept safe outside of their native range is a really important part of conservation.
