Oh Flock! Berry is back... literally
So this time on Oh Flock (there will probably be fewer of these episodes as I navigate just how to go about training this...) I want to try to hold Berry in my hand on her back. So first I am just working on getting her used to my hand cradling her back.At first (didn't get this on camera) she was NOT OK with it and was running off or flying off and I kept bribing her back to me with millet. But finally I got this response and was so happy!Again, since I have two project birds... I won't be working on this a ton so don't expect a lo...

Probably the last...
As you guys can hear, Capri has gotten very nervous as we've progressed and so I don't think there will be anymore episodes of this for a bit now as I give her time to settle in. I think she was more excited to just have Jinx excited to see her, vs actually start moving him around.
New Merch in the works!
I'm suuuuuuuper excited to show you guys the first pass at our new merch designs. Some have been sent back for modifications while others made the cut right away.As many of you who were on our live chat this month heard, we had a social media audit done and got some feedback on what we could change. One thing was developing a merch line that it's more in line with what we would wear every day. So I went through my own wardrobe and picked out things I love to wear, and gave pictures of them to my designer along with an inspiration board ...

BirdTricks Tuesday - Body Language (Hormones)

Oh flock! Capri and Jinx ep. 1
Look what little human is finally ready to start interactions with our macaws! Right now, Jinx is the only macaw housed at my house while Comet and Tusa enjoy the aviaries out at my folks' property. I went looking for Capri around the house the other day and found her training Jinx while he was inside the aviary. Cueing all sorts of vocalizations and handing him treats. So I decided to ask her if I could film her session with him and now when he sees her he gets more excited than when he sees me! He exclaims "BUBBA!" when she comes ...

Sugar - Chapter 5 (final chapter)
The last part to my training flighted budgies addition to my budgie course!Sugar is my latest project bird. A flighted budgie whose owners could not find time for him/her anymore. So I took on Sugar to show how to work successfully with flighted, untame budgies since my current Budgie Course only covered clipped budgies. For the first time ever, I've combined my project bird content as course content and am allowing the Bondi tier and above to have access to it. For the complete budgie course, visit this link.
Oh Flock | Comet and Conures
One of you asked about how the sun conures affect Comet's flying so I decided to leave them out while we had this session so you guys can see that he doesn't have quite the same drastic reaction as he does when it's a macaw out at the same time. But still, not helpful...
