A little cute for your day...
For those of you just wanting a little pick-me-up today. Enjoy these two! One is reading to the other...
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 on the channel tomorrow as a public Family Friday vid...
BFFβs...
These two can be caught doing... everything together. π

I was filming a video with Bondi for a training course I am taking and Capri decided she wanted to do one too. So this is her version! I thought you guys would enjoy a change of pace with a short, unedited clip of an interaction.
Parrot ThAIRapy: Who is Helping Who?
Guys, we are so close to sharing our recent freeflight student Luke's story with you! We just got his one of a kind merch set up to give you a sneak peek at what's to come: Parrot ThAIRapy.We will be sharing Luke and his macaw Sammy's story this week with all of you!
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?You can find all of Jinx's merch here.

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!To take part, request @birdtrickslive on Instagram and send me a message on Instagram with your name here on Patreon so I can cross-check that you are a patron...
