Backyard Aviary Update!

Here is an update on what I'm doing with our backyard aviary situation. View all the details on our current needs here.

I am so excited about what this aviary will mean for current and future birds we work with here!

Those of you wanting to look at making donations, please check with your employers because often times employers will match your donations! Project Parrots Inc is also available on Benevi...

Jinx meets Zip and Zoom - This didn't go well at all

With how this went... what do you think I should do in preparation of having all these birds in the same trailer together? Let me know in the comments and we will see if I did any of those before the trip to make it smoother... 

PS - thank goodness Zip was so forgiving about how this all went down. 

Live chats this month!

Here are the live chats this month! This is a little different since we were traveling all month long and only home two days - so I am taking one of our days home and putting the lives back to back. Those of you who want to stay on for both, awesome! Those of you who prefer one platform over the other can just join one. Here's the info for both:

Q&A from backstage this month!

Answering Li's question about our trackpacks! Every month our Morgan tier patrons get to ask us anything and we answer it in a video for the Rocko and Morgan combined tiers. 

Update on our cookbook project (Part 2)

Part 2 on filling you guys in on what Allison and I have been up to reshooting this entire book! It's quite the time consuming and expensive project but it's much needed and I'm excited for it. Can't wait for your input! 

Olivia Update!

Olivia has been adopted by a familiar face! Super happy for her and look who's back with us! 

16x20 Aviary Update!

Hey patrons! So excited to share this update with you all from the road. My 16x20 aviary is COMPLETE (finally) this project was supposed to be done back at the beginning of June but we had a ton of set backs. I'm so grateful to finally have this completed, even if it's at the end of the season for my flock. 

To reflect this new aviary set up, I have updated my website BirdTricksCages.com which shows all of our vari...

Zip has a new hatred...

This is something I'm going to have to constantly be aware of and work on so that I'm not encouraging only right-handed behaviors on my end.

Oh Flock - 2nd session with Ava on back

That same day I had a second session and Ava is just a champ! This trick has a lot to do with relationship, does your bird feel safe and secure and trust your intentions? Can it be vulnerable? Sometimes it takes more to get there. I usually recommend training a lot of other tricks before headed for this one.

BREAKTHROUGH WITH ZOOM! Ahhhh!!! EXCITED!

Super short update for you guys but BIG IMPACT! This is what happens when you just test and test and test and see if the bird MIIIIIIGHT be willing to cross the line over its comfort zone and expand it for you... YAY!!! 

Body Language Series!

Today's video features a cockatiel, galah and conure! 

Oh Flock - Working on Ava going on her back

This is my very first formal training session working on this. Ava has offered this behavior in the past and I've always enjoyed it in the moment but never treated it like a formal session where I've rewarded with treats. I've always just rewarded with attention and petting in the past. So here it is! She's amazing.

Moderators needed!

Hey patrons!

Some of you may or may not know we have a Facebook group called BirdTricks Q&A with a moderation team. We are looking to expand our moderation team and I thought who would be better candidates than those who know our material as well as you guys do!

Here’s the group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/birdtricks

Some of you are already on the moderation team (so thank you!) and...

Missed the live chat with us? Here's the recording!

Hey all, no worries if you missed the live chat on Zoom this month. Here is the recording if you want to catch up with us! 

Answering your questions!

This Q&A is where we take questions from our top tier (the Morgan tier) and answer them on video for the Rocko and Morgan tiers to enjoy! 

Bathing Zip - What I changed

Super cool to see all your guys' thoughts on my last video regarding what I changed! I'm going to address them in written text but definitely watch the video as well to see the difference in this bird. Too cool! Amazing what a new environment will do for an animal's success and receptiveness, right? 

Here are some personal notes to all of you who participated in feedback:
