Parrot Companion (Ground Foraging)

I love this episode because it's all about ground foraging which is so instinctive to many species of parrots and such a good thing to encourage! Enjoy this one!

Yes, this is for real.

It was not planned, but the opportunity presented itself and we took it... by the horns! While in Mexico recently, Capri went sky diving! She has been begging to go since her dad started it as a sport/hobby and then she saw me do it twice as well and has always been wondering when SHE can do it. Dave edited together a special video of her experience, and we have decided to share it publicly because, of course, ALL our family and friends want to see it too! So this special video is coming out ...

Is he not the cutest thing ever?!

Just wanted to share a cute pic Dave snapped of little Blueberry! We will be dropping hints to YouTube throughout the month... starting with my newest YouTube banner and then the video that goes out tomorrow as an extra about the corona virus and pet birds since we are getting hounded with questions. 

I'll also be sharing lots of behind the scenes pics of this guy as we continue to work with him and hopefully start editing the course soon too!

Oh, FLOCK! Comet won't let me touch him anymore...

Hi patrons!! 

I am so excited to bring you my NEW VIDEO SERIES called "Oh, Flock!" where I talk about something off in my own flock that I need to address and fix, and then show me working through it. 

This series will be more raw, and unedited. No fancy intros... no fancy outros. Just a very to the point... this is the problem, and this is how I am navigating it. Very little editing so that you can see my entire training session in its entirety (unless they really start...

New Tiers Coming For March!

I wanted you, as my patrons, to have the first heads up on how my tiers will be changing here on Patreon come March. This is my own version of spring cleaning and revamping based on the feedback I've gotten from all of you. 

I will be releasing a video explaining this as well, but I haven't quite been able to finish it yet, so it will have to come out in March instead of before March! 

Here's the new deal on my tiers starting March 2020:

NEW SERIES! Parrot Companion (Ep. 1)

Dave and I have been working on this project since September when we went to Australia and have been so excited to bring it to bird owners everywhere. 

Our new PARROT COMPANION SERIES is meant to be something you can leave playing for your bird while you’re away at work. Something that can mentally engage your bird while also giving a calming effect by watching other birds do NATURAL behaviors like foraging, bathing, playing and socializing. We will be adding eac...

Finally...

Guys, I am so excited! 

I finally decided on a Jinx quote (that is something I constantly have to remind myself of) that is close to me, and a design that fully embodies him and his spirit. And especially his teal-ness... it was so important to me that this design show the beauty of his teal blue color. I LOVE that about blue throats. 

What do you think of the design?

Instagram Live: January 27 @ 10am PST

Hey guys! Unfortunately on our recent flight trip, we did not have good enough internet signal to host a live (other than the random one we did on location!) so my next scheduled live is January 27th at 10am PST. I will be doing this at my dad's office in town so there's no cutting in and out of signal, but that also means no birds in the video either! I hope to see you all there!
