Zoom Live Replay

Here is the replay of our Zoom live chat this month! 

It finally happened... meet our newest addition...

I couldn't hold them off any longer... 

Meet Icee, a 4 year old female blue eyed Lucy x Mojave ball python... who was in need of a home because her previous home was down sizing. 

I kept trying to convince Dave and Capri not to buy a baby snake, but to adopt an older one that was full grown and in need of a home and when Icee came up we knew she would be the perfect fit (even if she came 1/2 a year earlier than planned). 

She's super sweet and that's what real...

New editing style - more feedback welcome!

Hey patrons! 

Here is another video with the new editing style of adding voiceovers. Let me know your thoughts. I thought it would be good to see two different videos with the style related so you could see the variations. This one was of an in home consult we did for a single day, while the other was a masterclass so different settings for sure. 

Looking forward to your feedback! 

PS - These types of videos aren't debuting on the YouTube channel until the ver...

New editing style - seeking feedback!

This video is a pre-release masterclass we did. I chatted with some of you on my live chat this month on Zoom about using my VoiceOver style for video editing and sharing more "fails" where we just can't make progress with a bird in class for one reason or another. 

Wanting to share more video stories like this one came about from someone attending a class and saying that they felt discouraged seeing everyone make huge success strides on the channel because it seemed like no one wa...

Taking ALL my birds to the vet! (so many answers!)

We got so many answers going to the vet at WSU. Happy to share them all, finally.

Submit a Valentine to our flock!

Hey patrons! I got this cute Valentine submission idea from watching Snake Discovery...

If you'd be so kind as to leave your Valentine to a member of our flock in the comments below, I would be happy to include as many as I can in my upcoming video! 

Here are the birds available for receiving Valentine's:

Oh flock - berry on back 3

So because you heard Berry in this one, I decided one rep was good enough for this session. In between sessions Berry is just hanging out preening on me either on my hand or shoulder, sometimes on my phone if I was playing a game while driving. She also would hang out on her travel carrier a bit too and things of that sort. Anytime she flew over initiating earning a treat is when I would ask for a rep but not always this on back stuff. 

Jinx and Ava accidentally met... eeeeek!!!

So this happened.

PS - SORRY for the confusing/duplicate posts on the Ava series. I originally had this series scheduled one way for being pre-release content, then I switched it up and decided the Ava series would not go out on YouTube as other project birds have (Clyde the cockatiel will be the last public project bird is my current thought process on that...) and so it changed the timeline but obviously I didn't get all the videos scheduled correctly for deleting duplicate...

Oh Flock - Berry on back (ep 2)

So I really should have stayed more consistent with how I asked (full hand vs finger) and how I was delivering the treats... also going forward like the upside down/bat trick. I also pushed her too far with my mess up and then Dave needed me so I decided to end the session (even though Berry ended if first, darn it!) and come back to it later in the next episode. Sometimes it's better to just stop vs trying to work through a situation like this.
