Our trip to Japan!

I wanted to share a video on our trip to Japan which was our birthday present to Capri for turning 12 so this was her birthday trip! Japan has been her bucket list country for years now and I was so excited to be able to share the experience with her.

Rico is scared of the Roomba (how I fixed this!)

While I was off at my morning workout, my Roomba schedule was on and the vacuum bumped into Rico's foraging tree, sending him falling off of it in fear to the ground.

When I talked about this happening on a live with you guys, someone asked how I'd work through that so I decided to show the process I took to make it so Rico is no longer fearful of the Roomba.

Our BirdTricks App is LIVE!

Hey patrons!

Dave here again… well as you’ve probably heard me say in the past, “hurry up and fail.”  This applies to so many things in life, but the core belief behind it is to not wait for things to be perfect.  Get out there and go for it, collect the data points, and make the corrections!

With that being said, I had intended to have the app be in test-phase for much longer than it is (this is all new to me).  I had also thought Apple woul...

Consult with an Amazon Parrot

Watch in on a one on one consultation with our consultant, Landon!

Baily was struggling with her newly adopted amazon, Andre. She has been working with him to step up but he’s previously been handled with gloves and isn’t super willing to step up off the cage. We discussed permission based handling, treat motivation, and how to make steps forward with his care. Baily had success the next day getting a step up from Andre!!

Days 2-5 with Rico

Since we were on a flight trip, my days 2-5 with Rico looked different than other birds that have come straight to my home. These days were spent at our air bnb.

One of the things I always stress to others but tend to struggle with myself is believing the information that people give me about project birds vs just letting the bird tell me about itself. It tends to give me a major intimidation factor that can really mess with my head!
