Wow! Just received this message from BIRD KINGDOM on IG DMs: Hey Mikey! I saw your video on KZread ! Just wanted to say thank you for the kind words ! There were a few things I just wanted to address:) as for the spurred tortoise Sheldon, right before your video he was taken off display as we are building him a much larger enclosure in our main aviary. Which is why his sign was still up! Sorry about the confusion. As for the lorikeet landing you’re absolutely right about the plants ! We get that question a lot, as for the nectar that they eat it is actually not a wheat flower mixture. It is quite a bit more complex than that! And the macaws and cockatoos in the aviary are actually all free flighted ! As all the parrots in the building are, unfortunately Max, the hyacinth just doesn’t know how to fly. But we do teach them ! As you saw with Carrie, it’s never too late for them to learn. So, the plants are in-fact not safe we just have a great horticulturist! Thanks again for the kind words ! Hope you enjoyed your visit to the falls.

Love your aviary ❤. Thx to Mikey for sharing this.

Growing up in Buffalo, I had the same attitude about Niagara Falls, it was no big deal. It was when I took visitors from areas that I really grew to appreciate the falls. I never did touristy things like The Maid of the Mist unless I was with people from out of town. It is truly a wonder and it's fun to be with people seeing it for the first time.

I live near Niagara Falls and it looks spectacular in the summer hot months for me. The Canada side have more fun things to do than the US side but the falls look better on the US side cause the falls are closer. You can tell what side you are on if you take the maiden Mist boat ride Red Canada and Blue US.

OMG, this was SO MUCH FUN!!! Mikey, you’re so freaking funny!!! Look there, look here, look up, look down, look near, look far… seems like that should be a song… LOL… I know you just can’t help yourself… and it’s so fun to watch! What a cool place this aviary. Such a cool reason to have a family reunion. Niagara Falls is really beautiful! I love seeing Joseph cook!! He’s so right, the secret to a great steak is letting it rest for as long as you cooked it. Basting is also a great secret but, super important to let it rest. BTW, I’ve never noticed before just how much Joseph looks like your Dad. Trick-or-Treat is not what it used to be, that’s for sure. It seems the Pandemic really changed this. It’s kind of a shame, I have some amazing memories of costumes and trick-or-treating… oh well, everything changes (and, eventually everything comes back around, LOL). I gotta say, RJ just cracks me up sometimes (never let this man go, he’s a true treasure!). ‘Ya know, I don’t think I’ve heard this part of your “Origin Story”. Thank you for sharing this! I love things like this. I remember the exact moment and everything happening around me when I made my biggest life choice (that still impacts me, even today). I love seeing your past dogs. Mission was such a gorgeous dog, and it looks like he and Pinoy were such close siblings, these stories never get old. ‘Ya know, I’ve wondered if you plan to get a Piano at the Farm House? Personally, I think a piano adds such a great touch to any home (I recommend a 6’ or 9’ Yamaha Grand, personally, I think they’re the absolute best). OK, off to Mexico! I’m excited. For all the years I’ve been watching these vlogs, you’ve talked about going there and, now it’s happening!!! Travel safe!!! I’ll see ya’ll next time!

That little museum tour was great. Felt like I was there as well.

Agree with Mikey Bustos the Canada side of the Niagara Falls has a better view and bigger part of the falls so we always go cross the border and from NY and view it Canada side …😊

Beautiful family❤

Thank you 😊

The birds were so colorful and beautiful. Great inspiration for the Mabuhay Squad Farmhouse Aviaries.

The Canadian side of Niagara falls is sooooo stunning! ❤️

My kids and grandkids decided to forego the hassle of getting ready to go ToTing in the cold of night and simply went to WalMart the next day and got bags of 50% off candy that they actually liked. No hassle, no expensive costume, no cold, no sore feet, no unwanted candy. I told them they were stick-in-the-muds! lol

I loved watching this vlog. Rj closing the door on kids saying Thank you! 🤣 Mikey geekin out in the aviary, so smart!!

You are such a joy Mikey! Loving these vlogs from Canada, New York and soon to be Mexico. Love seeing the family. You are excited by everything. RJ is such a great partner and companion, always a little shy but he has such a great sense of humor. Can't wait to see you all in Mexico.

Those birds look amazing. Many I’ve never seen. Thank you for showing the Niagara Falls.❤

Nice trip with family to Niagara Falls!🥰 I didn’t know they had a museum and aviaries there!❤️

I love that you are so excited doing this vlog and I love RJ’s reply” buy it now”😂😂😂

wow Mikey you love Australia we got lots of wild birds and they are so cute too with so may different personalities

Again, I'm so proud of you, Mikey, you've gone a long, long, long way since Canadian Idol but you're still reaching for the stars and living the life with the fruits of your labor. You continue to amaze me, I love love your vlogs. Even my kid 5yo dances to the funky music end credits hahaha, he's so cute!! Thankyou for inspiring us, positive vibes!!! God bless you all.

Haha I totally know that whole "ho hum/here's the tourist attraction I don't care about" and then later in life it gets more interesting. You should get a crowned pigeon! :)

MICKEY: I WANT BIRDS RJ: BUY IT NOW

This has been an awesome your to watch. Catching you now on your next leg! Love how old things became new during this visit to Canada. The leaves that we take for granted. Shoot it even snowed on Halloween here in the Midwest.

Can’t wait to see your reaction if you come and visit singapore bird’s paradise 😍

The dog pictures made me sad, remembering all my dogs that have passed away as well.

Wow! Beautiful view 😎

Mikey, love seeing the fam! I really enjoy seeing Maria (beautiful smile)and her family also!❤

Great vlog Mikey, I had two rainbow lorikeets once, they are just the most beautiful birds, awesome to see you and RJ so relaxed and happy!!

34:09 omgggg they're cosplaying as Akatsuki from Naruto, so awesomeeeee, I also did that same costume as Rafa when I was in high school when we had a cosplay event

The kindest and very accommodating Mikey, you're really the nicest allowing people to take a photo with you. How cool to have a museum connected to the falls and with an aviary too! We get to see beautiful species of birds. 😍 Enjoy Mexico!

Thank you so much for sharing that beautiful creatures and beautiful falls amazing nature so awesome thank you so much for your hard work Mike you take care guys and be safe 🥰🥰🥰

😀😀😀Mikey: Bey I want the birds. RJ; Buy it now😀😀.Very nice RJ.cute

hahaha RJ not used to passing out treats to trick or treaters ...the way he opens the door and just sticks his head out...then closes the door right away hahah

Was waiting for you to be at Niagara on the lake and wineries,but then you have other priorities.looking forward to Mexico 🇲🇽 episode.enjoy life with your love ones.❤

Watching your vlogs are stress reliever for me. So fun, so entertaining and so inspiring. God Bless you and the fam❤

So much to see, how beautiful.

Thanks Mikey that was so interesting I really enjoyed it all the places use went too. Lol the tiny chapel amazing you can go in. So true what ya brother said the steak to set 5 to 6mins the flavour is nice 😋. Halloween not a custom for our country but we still do trick a treat here. Same not much kid's door knocking too. Nice seeing more of you RJ, amazing stories Mikey. Safe travels to Mexico and again thank you. Take care till the next vlog 👍😊...

So cool . You brought Pinoy 🐶 the dog 🎉🎉🎉

I travel with you, and thank you for that, get to see other parts of the world, and see amazing places, animals and food vlogs 👏⭐💯💖👍

That’s one trip I still have to make. Looks like you and RJ are really enjoying yourselves 😁.

The small pink parrots are Bourke Parakeets. The wild form is darker, those birds you saw were a mutation known as Rosy Bourke's. They are from Australia and are related to Budgerigars, but a different species. They are very calm and quiet, but they do not talk. I raise them and recommend them as pets for someone who wants a small parrot but without the noise.

I have been living in Canada (Toronto) for almost 25 years, but I still love Niagara Falls. I will never get tired of visiting the Beautiful Falls..

That aviary building was pretty Kool❤

Ayyy you're just an hour(ish) from me right now! I'm just west of Hamilton! Long time Mabuhay squad here! 😁👏🙏🙌

Kids nowadays are different, they rather play with their gadgets than to have fun outside like trick or treat

My guess was right! We went there too when we went to Toronto😊❤️😄

Have a blast in Mexico❤❤❤

awesome episode! I think halloween isn't as vibrant as it used to be, especially after covid. but even then, I think the kids in the neighbourhood is just growing up

I LOVE watching your mubuhay farm vids don't get me wrong, but gosh I'm surprised at how much I missed your travel Vlogs too! Hello from your neighbor to the south in Minnesota! 🛬🧳🛫

I super enjoy Nigiara falls! We wish to go there next time ! 🥹🥹🥹 and all your vlogs contents are all my Favorite! 😘😘😘❤️❤️❤️

I like Niagara Falls from US side...more beautiful ❤❤❤❤

❤❤❤

❤❤❤❤

i love your family photo Mikey😍😍😍😍😍😍

Another beautiful place in Canada is Niagara on the lake, lots of rich folks playground to visit.

Trying to binge watch your vlogs 👍🏻😷👍🏿🇨🇦🇵🇭🇺🇲

Wish i can meet you and RJ here in the Philippines to take pictures (because we're pilipinos).. Thank you very BIG for bringing good vibes every video.. god bless

Maybe the reason there are fewer kids in the neighbourhoods is because malls and shopping districts have been offering trick-or-treating these days. Parents like the safety of knowing the candy is not tampered with (the businesses give out the candy), it will be warm and dry, and they don't have to worry about the kids getting run over by cars in the dark. While I understand that, I think it's really too bad because it was about visiting your neighbours and having them enjoy the costumes, etc. I grew up visiting houses in my neighbourhood for Hallowe'en and loved it.

just i thought, yuo will Visit the Magical Niagara falls. Amazing to see, wished i could do it again for the third time...Enjoy

there is a golden phesent on display locally, boy can he hide! a ground sp. or two to clean up droped food is a smart idea. my first year of middle school, we had a canadian teacher and my group did a niagra falls project, i drew them. we learned a couple of canadian songs. there are some wayside chappels that are smaller one near sultan washington, there are a couple too small for windows, i think smallest is advertizing, unless certified buy guiness. there are less children in the west, we have stoped having them, many couples dont have/want them. there is also the risk involved in knocking strangers doors, there was always risk, but there is more fear involved in that now. in UK it is considered begging, which is actually a criminal offense, though no one gets procecuted for it, it seems to only be rich kids do it

I have seen the falls from both sides way back before passports. I'd have to say the falls from the Canadian side look so much better. However, the scenery from the NY side of Toronto is even better.

Enjoy God bless

some pigeons can be free flight if you build them a loft maybe you should try

Ouch. Missing Ligaya, too. 😞❤🦜

I think you are a vampire, Mikey. You don’t age!! 😘🇨🇦

Enjoy Mexico and have the blogs up there we’re going on December.

Mikey . Please come to Singapore for your next trip . Ours new bird park is very nice. I am sure you will like it

I was so lucky when I visited Candian side falls we had double Rainbow it was early October

you made me roar with laughter when you said #opensashime #opensesame hahahahahahaha🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Johhny Sttrides show all the Halloween displays and kids trick or treating on the West End.

Aww i also miss our great dane who passed away years ago, her name was Daffodil but i nicknamed her Daffyduck

Hi Mikey and RJ ❤❤❤

I love this vlog so informative, enjoyvMexico

The costume of Rafa and Maria I was told by the teenager son of our friend, is so 'in' in Tiktok. We were at a theme park last week and he asked the gentlemen wearing that costume to have a photo taken with them. We saw a lot of people dress up for halloween at the theme park. There were the French fries family, pizza family, Dalmatian family, a lot of Mario and Luigi and the most number of costume worn was the Chinese ghost. Their make-ups are so realistic and so good. I'm not used to celebrating halloween but we had fun at the theme park because we saw a lot of different and interesting costumes. We're planning to go again next year and maybe with a costume too. 😁 I only had experienced halloween in the US way back late 90's at a mall.

Awww the African Greys.😢

present poh idol #mabuhaysqaud ❤️❤️❤️🕊️🕊️🕊️

One of my joys in your vlogs, Mikey, is seeing you turn into a five-year-old with excitement (what you referred to as "nerding and geeking out") when you went into that aviary. And I'm *not* trying to insult you by comparing you to a little kid: I often watch live streams of scientific exploration deep sea ROV dives, and there's nothing like watching a room full of marine biologists turn into five year olds when, suddenly, a sperm whale swims by the ROV camera to investigate. You're in good company in this regard! You made, I think, the right decision not becoming a veterinarian. But you _would_ have made one fine zookeeper / naturalist / conservationist. You also remind me just a little of Gerald Durrell. (If you haven't read his books, like _Catch Me a Colobus_ or _My Family and Other Animals_ , try them. They're great fun.) Thank you for another great vlog.

I see Speckled Pigeons from South Africa, I think that Nicobar's pigeons are from the Phillipines. Plus White Ringneck Doves. Victorian Crown pigeons. Plus There are Fancy Pheasants in that Aviary.

enjoy Mexico

Pinoy is cute and well behaved! ❤❤❤

stay safe fambam

This is first time I've realized how much Joseph looks like your dad wow

🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸*This vlog brings back fond memories of my family’s weekend trip to Niagara Falls and Toronto way back in the early 1990’s*

I want to trick or treat at your moms place, so much candy. Hey Mikey, don’t forget to take back some China Lily soy sauce from Canada. I can’t get it here in Vietnam, waaaaaa
