Blueberry ep. 3
Episode 3!
BTT - FF - Listen up!
Part of our Foundational Failures series.
Should live streams have set topics?
Moving into 2021 I want to make sure I'm constantly evolving with what you guys want! It was a suggestion to make live streams have specific topics. Let me know if you like that idea moving forward as a change in 2021 or if you prefer them to be random.
DIY Feather Ornaments
Hey guys! I was looking for a fun Christmas-themed craft Capri and I could do together and I found the simplest one!Check it out here. I ordered all I needed from Amazon. It's just twine, hot glue and these little wooden rings plus the feathers!See the video for how ours turned out. We made enough for Capri to give one as a Christmas gift to each of her schoolmates.
Good news for internationally based customers!
Hello Patrons!I want to thank you so much for all the support you have shown during our holiday sale so far with our Limited Edition Holiday Sets! We have been loving all the great feedback and images of you and your birds with our gift sets. If you haven't gotten them already, know that one of the perks you have as Patrons is that you get to pick your selections rather than them being a mystery (see my last post about this).One of the things I have gotten a lot of questions about though is the international shipping issue and how we are no...
Halo (talk about desensitization)
So my construction really helped with desensitization (lol) which is important to do early on so that change and chaos is normal to the bird to adapt to.
Sunnyside (foraging)
Foraging is a great source of enrichment but it is especially important for birds with feather destructive behavior. Luckily, Sunny is all about it!All the toys pictured are in my toy line, but I did incorporate one from Amazon. I will say larger birds CAN take this apart if they are that type (ie: Jinx) but if they are more mellow of a player then they may leave this intact as far as not undoing the metal parts (just be mindful of that). I just want to state that as I don't sign off on the 100% safety of this toy with your bird (and I am w...
Oh, flock! Blueberry's kisses ep. 2
A second session working on Blueberry's painful kisses!
What changes would you like to see to Tasty Tuesdays?
With a new year coming up, I want to know what sort of changes/improvements you guys would like to see to the content I offer. Starting with Tasty Tuesdays - what type of changes would you like to see made to those episodes?
Instagram lives this month
Request to follow @birdtrickslive and DM with your Patreon name if it doesn't match your Instagram handle.December 12 (Saturday) at 9am PSTDecember 12 (Saturday) at 4:30pm PSTMost everyone wanted weekends and wanted either morning or evening based on where they were located. So I decided to make two live streams the same day but at different times to see if we can hopefully accommodate some more of you that are located internationally. Since its a weekend these will likely both be held at my house which means birds + Capri can be them but a...
Tasty Tuesday | Birdie Ice Cream MMMM!!!!
Capri liked this one a little TOO much!
Update on Bean's New Family!
I got his wonderful video from Bean's new family and they are gracious enough to let me share it here with all of you. She is a patron here on Patreon so keep that in mind when leaving your comments! xo
Studio Update!!
It's getting so much closer!! It has heat (and AC) now but we are still missing flooring in the studio portion, our can lights and bulbs and trim work...
Sunnyside is back!
An update on his eating habits since this kind of topic was addressed in the video with me and Patty about how using foods in the seasonal feeding (not adding them to the entire batch, though) as a transition type tool is ok as long as you eventually get to the point where you don't NEED them to get your bird to eat it. I actually kept Sunny on the egg mixture for a longer amount of time than I normally would because of his low calcium levels and low weight/body mass. I wanted to see both of those "normalize" before I dwindled back ...
Sunny getting meds
Another update on Sunny (pre-release content)
Oh Flock! (Blueberry is biting!) Ep. 1
Soooo... Blueberry's kiss has gotten... too enthusiastic to say the least.
Early Bird Christmas Surprise...
Happy Holidays everyone!This year we have decided to launch some gift sets that are perfect for any parront, even those who already have it all. However, due to them being limited edition and therefore very limited quantity, I wanted you guys to have first dibs on them! (Unfortunately due to the issues with international shipping due to COVID we cannot ship them internationally - so sorry!)The video above explains most of it, but essentially we have our Holiday Gift Mug Sets and our Holiday Gift Tote Sets. The tote sets are especially awesome i...

Pick when I live stream next month!
Name a day of the week, date and time you want my next live stream(s) to take place and I will try to accommodate the ones wanted the most! If you see someone has named what you want already, simply heart their comment!
Halo (flying)
Having people around (even close to) as distractions, and asking a variety of types of flights from different areas is essential in building good flight skills.
Q&A
This is where my Morgan tier asks us questions and my Rocko and Morgan tiers get to hear the answers!Here is a link to the blog post I mention: Molting For Parrots
Halo (jackpots)
Even baby birds need extra incentives and rewards like jackpot rewards! Make sure that you are giving them for the things that are BIG DEALS, like harness training.
New pins are in!!
Thank you so much to my Rocko and Morgan tiers for helping me design the perfect pins to represent my own flock as well as project birds. I appreciate your guys' in put so so much!Good news: new pins are in and available for purchase!Bad news: Hymie's coloration on his pin got messed up in production. So it will be a bit longer of a wait on his design.Collect them all at HyperFinch.com! 100% of our profits go towards Ronie's Bird Rescue.
Sunny getting imped!!!
Alright guys, I am so sorry this video has taken so long for us to create. We think we have finally found a system for editing videos and getting them out faster so bear with us as we test our new system out! For now, I am making sure you guys get to see the Sunny episode videos first before they out on YouTube.
Answers about our Seasonal Feeding System
Please show lots of love for the fact that I got Patty to even do this, lol! Sorry if your questions came in after we read the ones that were there and had filmed. xoIf you don't yet have our seasonal feeding system, get it here!
Halo (variety)
Once baby birds master the soft, easy toys... you don't want to take them away but you want to ensure you are providing the next step up with harder woods. It can be easy to focus on the fact that the baby bird loves a certain type and destroys it well and so you provide A TON of that... but you are doing better by your bird to provide more variety at that point vs the same things all the time. That's truly why my toy boxes are mysteries for both humans and birds.
What is the worst parrot advice you've ever been given?
Hey guys! I am working on filming a new series. I need feedback from you guys... so please tell me in a comment (or DM if you're more comfortable with that) what is the WORST parrot advice you've ever been given?
Bye Bean...
I delivered Bean to Ronie's and wanted to share it with patrons first. It will go live on my channel in two days...Thank you to everyone who helped make taking Bean on possible. I look forward to sharing my next project bird's journey with you all and hopefully having your help deciding on the next one. xo
