I have a masters degree in evolutionary biology. Parrots are extremely complex in their social needs, activity needs, etc. The kind of social relationships they build are so complex and important. Much of this is due to their incredible longevity in life spans and level of intelligence. I love seeing your work, you absolutely get it about their needs. They require much more care, time and interactions/activities than any other kind of pet.

You made so much progress with Bean. He looks so happy
The positive communication is so beautiful. I can't help antropomorphisizing but the "love" and trust you're building are gorgeous.
He seems happy out there and happy to be eating out there..... one step closer to freedom
I agree. He seems excited looking at the outside. He looks so happy out there. You have fostered trust with him so smoothly.
Seeing Bean learn to trust you was amazing!
Jaime, so good to see Bean doing so well with his training. Glad he is happy with being on stands and especially outside. Thank you Jaime for working with birds and showing us how we can help our birds.
Such a transformation and a total pleasure to watch. I've fallen for Bean. ❤️ He's a new bird. 😊 It's sad that he spent 8 years eating trash food, with a list of preservatives as long as your arm. But now, he's loving life and living large. 🤣 You go Bean😍

We own bean now and he does this so much! We could try to pick him up but he just puts his head down for pets
I’m really happy to see Bean looking happier than the first time I saw him.
Bean is a beautiful bird. It's so great to see how he's doing. I think you could give him head scratches for hours and he would just sit there lol.
He’s making amazing progress. Such a smooth transition! I’m not even halfway through the video and I had to say something. That’s going to be one tough project bird to part from. Maybe Cressi can have a boyfriend. Can’t wait to see more progress!
It also looks like he needs a way to say "no." It looks like he uses head scratches to stop humans from making him do stuff. They're so smart they really need ways to 'say' what they want.

Our parrot says no and it sounds like “Fah. Fah” In a very firm way. Both sounds are clipped. Short. Not run together. We immediately respond. Withdraw or change what we were requesting.
Bean seems like such a sweetie. It’s great to be able to watch these videos now, having wondered what went down with Bean. It’s lovely to see him come out of his shell and trust the people around him, and enjoy himself
African Greys are sooo smart and very individual like a human. Thanks for showing us that cutey and his progress. Being owned by a CAG, I can identify with much of what you said.
I think a lot of people underestimate the feelings of animals and birds. animals and birds really develop love and deep trust with their owners and they are often devastated when they lose one. it takes them time to grieve that loss. it's good to see him coming around a little.
You're a PROFOUNDLY good communicator ... and Bean? Is truly adorable and SWEET. Thank you
True love you have for all the bird's So easy for anyone who does care/love
What a nice bird owner you are! This was a joy to watch.
Just beautiful ❤️❤️❤️❤️
You’re so good with him, you really understand him so well
Ur doing a awesome job. 😍 what a cool bird momma 👌🏻
Incredible progress 👏 🦜❤
His personality is the sweetest 😍
Wow.... he's making such strides with you. Love to see it.
I am so touched by your love for these beautiful companions! I want a parrot!!
You're doing a great job..
Looks like a beautiful Robins nest under your patio!🐣. His previous owner did wonders with him, he is such a well behaved sweet boy!
Love the Bean journey - Yeah !!!
I'm so glad to see your videos again. Susan
Love how he holds his head down for scratches 🥰
Such a beautiful face! A really beautiful African Grey. Hope he's doing well.
Fascinating insights
What an angel. I love Bean ❤
You're so wonderful to listen to Jamie Leigh! There are Life lessons in your wise words! Well being All.
Thanks for sharing the stories of your amazing project birds. I think these tales are really useful for people training and/or retraining their birds.
Bean makes me so happy 💜
Great video I love it cute
Gosh imaging going to the nicest resort spa and being catered to & taken care of in the best ways… This is how it all seems for Bean, he got the chance of a lifetime getting to come to your home!!
I never realised parrots were such messy eaters - they almost seem like their beaks get in the way of a full mouthful! He is super sweet.
What a beautiful transformation Bean has gone through, he actually looks more like a happy bird, kudos to you for your insight in how to improve his lot. I am sure he is going to make a lovely recovery from his up evil of having to change home and has found someone who will understand his needs. Please will he be able to learn to fly?
You have a great Aviary and good food; wish others would such a thing for their bigger parrots.
Adorable...
The progress you have made with Bean is incredible! Well done.,

Bean is very cool and laid back African grey!!❤❤❤
They love to be outside mine loves it
I love your work. You are spot on. We are all individuals, animals included and should be treated that way. We humans change from day to day so why wouldn’t a bird, cat, dog, etc. 🙂
Love u and ur parrot ❤️💙💚🧡
Bean says, "New Mommy I love you and you are taking such good care of me. Look how good I ate!" He is doing really good with your daughter too! Great job! People may wonder why you leave the tags, but I know they love chewing those tags up! So fun!
Birdie Bread how cute your the sweetest.
you won him over quite fast hope all is well for you and the flock
my lovebird does that thing Bean does on the perch too. I call it the "pancake dance" and he does it when he wants to be out of the cage or when he's about to jump/fly
He's looking so much happier now
So very cool to see Bean's progress!!! And as someone who lives in southern Idaho, I can completely relate to your statement about "gotta love Idaho weather!"

U r a very special person. There are not very many in the world like u - and your family. It is a very intense life to be devoted like you are. Having sleepless nights, worrying about a helpless animal. Wishing to win the lottery so that we could change the world. But we do change the world, don't we?
Bean is an amazing bird
Oh my goodness you’re so lucky. I’ve wanted an African Grey for 20 years or a Macaw and never been able to afford one and I’d love to take in a rescue or an unwanted pet. I love working with birds. I hope you know how lucky you really are. Here in the U.K. they are around £1,600 which is around $2000 so they are just too expensive for me. Way out of my price bracket. Saved up the money once and my car engine blew up so I had to spend it on a new engine. Took me about 2 years to scrimp and save only for my hopes to be dashed. I’ve still got the cage and equipment and stands for one because I live in hope my good fortunes will come one day.
He so cute
Gratulálok nagy szép papagáj. Köszönöm a magyar feliratot is 😉😃

They are definitely birds compared their family members.
The advice about not treating every bird identically is also true for children. The things i found punishment/reinforcement were not the same for my brother. I didnt mind being sent to my room (bird cage) cause thats where all my stuff was. 😂
Hello from England 🇬🇧
I feel so sorry for this bird losing his family and home. Everything he knew and loved is lost. He will need time to grieve.😢
OMG I TOTALLY KNOW LAURA!!!💜💜💜💜 I thought I recognized the name Bean & it being an African grey. Which I also know that Bean was a VERY loved bird of Laura's, so it breaks my heart to see what she must of been going through!💔 At least I know Bean was in good hands.... I actually bought my very tiny, baby timneh african grey from her back when she use to be in that sorta business.🦜 Also for years after too, she was a great woman/friend that was always there to help when I was having parrot worries & constant questions etc. as it was all new for me back then!💜Then I also found out that I too had Lyme's as well. Anyways, Praying for her and her lil family & I hope she's doing much better by now too!?(Guess I better check on her myself.) She's got some pretty amazing parents too I remember! 💜🙏🏼 BTW I just adopted a neglected 35 year old African grey from a woman I know up in Sandpoint. Sooo, it's been an interesting 24 hrs so far lol!🤷🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🧏🏼♀️ Wish me luck... I'm also ordering food & some other stuff on your guys website right now tooo! Still searching for the perfect cage for her too...Oh and you'll be happy to know that I didn't get her wings clipped either..🥰

Do you have a video on how you make breakfast, lunch and dinner for birds? I love that you make fresh food. I want to do it too
He says you're like laughing with me so I will get it off! Lol
Thanks for all your wonderful videos!! I also have 2 African Greys and a parakeet. Would like to know what temperatures you require for your birds (both for indoors and outdoors)? Can they go from a warm indoor temperature to a brisk outdoor temperature (such as a 10 or 20 degree difference)? Also, what humidity do you recommend for indoor birds?
Would you mind sharing the recipe for the birdie bread? I you videos have helped me with my nanday conure. Thank you.
How old is Bean? He sure loves being pet! ♥️oh he's 8 years👍
Súper schönes Video ♥️♥️
Imagine that a creature of nature that likes outside.
i love you guys so much,,,,i am a newbie and your vids really help me so much,,,thank you
First video on this channel ; been contemplating getting a grey - but I really enjoy watching loving content like this amongst all that doomsday stuff on here.

Just make sure the right fit for one have patience and continue to learn
First thing you need to know about an African Grey (or any pet) you must let the bird choose YOU you'll know if they like you or dont like you when you first meet each other..they are drawn to you like they know you as other greys wont like when they want to bite when hold out your hand..so shop around til you find the bird that loves you..and make sure your kids understand it..unhappy parrots will start picking their feathers off..
Love♥️🤗😍

I want some ‘birdie bread’.
I was raised around large birds. Your work is so impressive and inspirational.
How cute, what are you feeding him I'd love to try it for my Indian ringneck
What is interesting bird bread muffins
Can you go over the physical changes you've see with Bean from his diet change?
He is TELLING YOU he wants outside. I think he wants to go find his missing mama.
Lol my we man is called bean because he's hello like butter bean
"Oof" is not as cute as you seem to believe it is.
Hi there, I’ve been on your website and looked at your downloadable books on feeding and was wondering if your bird bread recipe is in there? I am about to inherit a disabled African grey and he’s currently on the same diet that bean arrived on. Also does it offer advice on coaxing them to try new things?
Is there a recipe for the birdie bread muffin? and what is in the mix for the breakfast feed
beautiful picture 3:44
From @11.42 to 13.20 he's grown up. His eye color has also changed from black to white.
He probably wants to escape
Not sure if you'll be able to answer or be able to help me or not and this is not related to this video, but I have a Budgie who appears to be having issues with his feet, as far as balancing goes. Have you ever seen this before? He can fly, but can only balance on perch for a short time, been hanging out on the bottom of the cage, and using his beak to move around and climb. Appreciate any advice you have.
How do you take Bean outside without being afraid he will fly away?
You’re my bird lady, (the bird whisper).
Its funny how more than half ur birds are older than me 😂😂😂😂😂 Edit: Can u pls try to teach blueberry to loop. (Indoors)
12:43 Blue in the background!
How do you get him to allow you too pet him mine would just bite me and I’m new
I’d like to know why his perch isn’t along side of his dish? Our AG sits beside his bowl
Absolutely LOVE watching your videos. Y’all give so much insight to caring for the birds. What’s funny is I don’t even have a bird 😆 I’d love to have one but I’m so nervous that I wouldn’t train correctly and would cause him/her to have bad habits. We also have 3 Labradors that are trained for duck hunting so I am scared they would not understand a pet bird. They are trained to hear a shot, watch to see if a bird falls and then with hand signals they will go out and fetch the ducks. Since they are trained what do you all think? Would it be safe to have a pet bird?

It's hard to say. It's how you introduce them to the bird. I inherited an african grey a couple years after getting my dog and introduced them through the cage and made progress VERY slowly. After that I'd hold my bird at a safe height and let my dog sniff it and over time closed the distance based off both their body language. Id also put the bird on the counter, play or pet her for a couple minutes, then switch to the dog and do the same to give them the idea that we're all doing the same stuff together. It did take a while (a lil over half a year) but now I can place the bird on the ground and the dog would just sniff her to see what's up and let her be. Bird used to get uncomfortable with that, but eventually caught on that she isn't trying to eat her and stopped worrying about it, now she hardly even acknowledges when she does that. Even with all this progress however, when they are together I make sure to keep my eye out on them. One thing is all animals are different. Some dogs' instinct are too overwhelming and it'll just see a target to get. I figure the best way to see how your dogs act is to take them to a pet shop, take em to where the birds are and see if they go wild or are whatever about it. If they clearly see the birds but dont get buck wild you may be able to introduce them but it is a slow dedicated process like anything related to birds.
