Sarah

I've already send him something.... unique. But it's a surprise :)

Kat Orta

I was laughing and crying during the video. So happy and can’t wait to see what other patrons and fans send now that you have a POBox!!

Harry

I think you’re going in the wrong direction, yes ditch the lid, but now use the trash can =]:{ |

Will McGill

PETA made you soft Ben 😂

Quickeningheroes

Shhhh... Kevin it's ok..ITs oKAY!.! ...gotosleepjustgotosleepkevinjustsshhhhh....

Tanner Dupree

Neither does using a pillow? Both as safety precautions buddy

Kat Orta

Hahaha the pillow is among us.

It was hard to watch you get so bit up in the June 1st video! Thank you for being willing to be injured for content, but please don't let people who don't know what they're doing get to you. I think if the lid/riot shield combo is working and you can control the strength, it's better that Kevin and yourself don't suffer any real injury in the long-run. Also sorry you're running out of anti-septic lol, I've always used Hydrogen Peroxide for cleaning cuts.

Oulaff

Smash cuts of Kevin getting beamed by Uncle Ben's trusty pillow poppers? Yes, please! Using pillows instead of a lid? Sounds like too much weight, less controllable, and potentially more dangerous for Kevin long term.

Jeremiah Lee

Maybe a armored knight outfit can eat metal 🤔 that or hard leather so Kevin don't bite to death

Honestly I think you’re doing the best you can with the space you have. Kevin is probably reacting to the rest of the animals as well as you. Bapping him with the bin lid is one of the most creative ways I’ve seen for establishing dominance in birds before. From what I’ve seen of Rhea, they respond much like parrots. Kevin ruffles, hisses and bites at you just like an agitated parrot does. There are some holistic avian calm things you could try..... But I honestly think once Kevin gets more space, he’ll dramatically chill out. ^-^ (Source: Years of study to be an animal behaviorist)

Tava Marie

They have very little protection over their ears. An air horn could hurt Kevin and cause disorientation, much like a human gets when they get an inner ear infection.

Tava Marie

That doesn’t address the behaviour though.

casualbaloth

nah

MilfN’Cookies

Kevin is the best thing to happen to this Ranch and those idiots don’t know what trash can lid hit them. Uncle Ben keep on keepin on

Joshua Samaniego

Do what you think is best. We live you Ben we know you have the best intentions and I trust that you’re rehabbing Kevin. I hope all is well man you need a vacay

Kam

Oh good thank you. I think folks nowadays are just not aware of what goes on with animals if that makes sense. I mean some people don’t even know where milk comes from LOL. So I think they just think they’re protecting Kevin but not realizing that he knows what he’s doing I mean Ben not Kevin lol

Kpuff

true, then maybe have the demonstrations of Kevins care take on a more educational vibe vs a quick meme joke vibe (which i love and is hilarious) just for the sake of people stopping the reporting

Kpuff

i agree and was thinking this as well

TJ

Tell me your “not sorry” without telling me your “not sorry” I love you

___

Use a trash can lid with (good) food taped to it. Or buy some feathery lingerie angel wings and wear those so you look like Karen

Kam

I should also say that the passive aggressive apology video made your point 👍verrrra well.

Dex Domitor

Can we compromise and just put a pillow case over the trash can lid? I mean.. kinda cushions it.. maybe looks better to the bleeding hearts.. still knocks a moment of sense into Kevin....

Kam

I think one way to look at it is as an opportunity to educate others. You want these folks on your side, right? Even though we know it’s kind of silly, their actions were out of ignorance rather than malevolence, mostly. I know you’re going in many different directions, but maybe also try a video where you calmly just try to educate them re how this kind of training works. And show them that you have the expertise to do this. And also bring in another expert or show videos of other experts working with rheas. Ultimately you probably will have to switch to a pillow or something like that, but it would be nice for people to know that you didn’t just invent this training method. I liked your video too. It shows how rough he is. Hang in there; this too shall pass.❤️

Fernando Takai

honestly, forget about these people. it's just not worth it.

Comixfang

Second idea, sorry for spamming, but I think you could actually hire Cesare Millan for a few thousand dollars. Maybe we could do a kickstarter to possibly get a collab video where Cesare Millan takes on Kevin XD. Only half joking.

Chloe V

Is Kevin afraid of loud noise? What if you use a air horn in his face or something?

Comixfang

Honestly maybe try a pillow case that has the trash can top in it? Maybe it'd get people off your back. I still think it's ridiculous personally but I don't want your YouTube channel to be compromised either.

nstephanus

A pillow is heavier and probably has a better chance of actually hurting kevin vs the harmless trashcan lid. I think covering the lid in aluminum foil could up its power level for a while though, meaning pushing becuse effective again and less smacking needed.

Jonathan Cox

I think Kevin is actually more of a Mr. Miyagi in this situation and is actually training uncle ben for a professional tag tournament which grand prize money is $1 million dollars which uncle ben will use on the rehab center to make it poggers, then makes a grammy winning documentary about it and gets hella rich, Kevin just helping Uncle ben secure the bag. Keep slappin away senpai.

TJ

I can send you the collar we used to train my protection dog! LOL Nah I say smack him in the face with a trash can lid!

Daithi

i would suggest a single seated Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II super manoeuvrable air defence straight-wing jet aircraft twin turbo-fan turbine fighter with a nose-mounted General Dynamics GAU-8/A Avenger 30mm cannon

Pedrão Marzano

I suggest you use kevin as a pillow

Tanner Dupree

August 28 prelims for Jake paul tyron Woodley fight !!

Tanner Dupree

In the end there's still people who could use these videos for the rehabilitation purposes that uncle Ben puts the vids out for, so if it's just a normal part of taking care of animals then it should be seen

Tanner Dupree

Have you thought about one of those dog training sleeves? They're flexing so you can bend normally and they're for like pitbull bites so should be solid, they're like 30 on amazon

Ant Slime

depending on the pillow it might just be worse than the lid they can really have quite the impact to them, it'd have to be like a real thin couch pillow, but kevin might just rip it apart and make a mess in the backyard so :/

Chloe V

Definitely use a brick. (I’m joking)

Kpuff

Just subbed here to support, sorry dummies keep reporting your good vidjyas! As much as I wanna keep seeing Kevin, cuz he is epic looking (though his son is even more epic lol) maybe for the sake of the youtubes cut out his parts for a good while? I really dont want the haters to win and something bad to happen to the channel ya know? much loves!

Ty

Have you tried clicker training with Kevin? It might be worth a try. If not, there's always plan B, a boxing match with Kevin.

TwoShoesMcGee

hes gonna bite right through it and make a mess of it lmao

Tyler Richardson

I think running at him and being like "HEYYYYY! KEVIIIIIIN!" while swinging the trashcan lid would psyche him out and have him run from you. If he doesn't, SMACK THAT BOI AND YELL VICTORIOUSLY TO ASSERT DOMINANCE
