Day 1 With Rico the Amazon

My great aunt is currently in care, only being woken up for meals which she is not appreciating at the moment. So any positive vibes you feel like sending her way are much appreciated. She does not currently know Rico is in my possession, however, he is willed to go to my mother should my aunt pass.

Right now I am leaving telling her up to...

Jinx and Zip 🩵

I owe you guys a freeflight update of these two but we are on the road at the moment trying to make it to Tennessee for a magic performance and it’s so exhausting. So enjoy this little clip for now! Zip lands first.

BTT - Syringe Training (Introducing the Syringe Positively)

This session with Bondi focuses on how to introduce the syringe positively with a bird who has never been syringe trained before.

Passcode: 6=Y#VhU&

I decided to change things up this month and do my live as our Q&A based on the questions we got this month. One of which was "When are you bringing home a new project bird?" and it just so happens... he's here to meet you all.

Fennel Update!

For those of you that remember the female eclectus project bird I had for a while, here is an update from her forever home!

Cleo Update 💔

Here's a message from Maddie to everyone who followed Cleo's journey via her facebook page:

I wish I had better news, but we have decided to say goodbye to Cleo tomorrow.

Though we've only had her for two months, she has become a cherished family member and saying goodbye so soon hurts horrifically. 2025-02-23 03:54:16 +0000 UTC View Post

Bed Training Navi

Today I worked on getting Navi to go into her bed (instead of on top) but she picked up on it so quickly I basically missed her initial learning but still wanted to share what I did capture!

Watch a consult!

Meet Diane with Indigo her 3-4 month old Blue Headed Pionus!

Diane’s goal with this consult was to get some detailed direction on introducing our recommended diet to Indigo. The breeder had weaned the bird pretty young onto an all seed di...

Navi's New Trick!

I'm still working with Navi when I can on teaching her new tricks and behaviors. My latest one is to jump over my knee. So I started with my leg as low as I could get it and then moved it up. She learned in a single session! She's so clever.

Zip and Jinx Freeflight Recap

Recapping our last flight trip and the progress I made with Zip and Jinx.

Syringe Training (1st Sessions!)

As you guys know, since finding out Comet and Tusa have to be on medication for life I've been going through my flock and syringe training them all. This session was with Jinx and Zip who handled it quite differently.

Training Navi for finding birds...

Here's some recent training sessions with our new vizsla pup Navi and her trainer, Penny Jo. This shows the progression of her standing still, watching, smelling and pointing in the direction of the pigeon that was released (even moving out of the way of the path of the bird.)

The cool thing about this is that she is not chasing or jumpin...

Vehicle Situation Update!

I found out the noise in my truck is the exhaust pipe. So need to look into that...

And the Toyota dealership only has one Diesel truck available and it has more miles than we are hoping for so still looking around for now...

My vacation!

I thought I'd share about my recent vacation with all of you interested in seeing what I was up to this last week.

Training Navi to sit still for her collar... (or not)

I've noticed my family struggle putting different collars on Navi. She has all sorts of ones for different leashes and has a really cool night time one that lights up and she's a PIA about letting us put them on and off so I decided to intentionally work on it...

And then after the fact a friend of mine suggested trying this with the colla...

Working with Zip and Jinx

I thought you guys might enjoy seeing a training session where there’s a lot of imperfections…

Jinx not being the nicest towards Zip which affected her response time and response in general.

You get to witness the extreme twitchiness of the blue throated macaw in distraction action!

I’ve also been working on capturing Zip...

Training with Navi to put her toys away

Here's an update on how training Navi is going to put her toys away. I think it's giant progression from what it looked like before, what do you all think?

Q&A About Marabou!

Landon answers all your questions submitted about Marabou the project parrot cockatoo!

Trained a new trick to Navi!

Today I worked on something new with Navi just to change it up. As you can see, I went into the session not totally sure what I wanted it to look like and then figured it out as I went along. I think it's pretty cute!

Miriah and Freebie take flight (almost!)

Miriah and her Amazon Freebie are preparing for their graduation free flight trip!!

Miriah has been so excited and has been an AMAZING student. We talk a little in this consultation about tail mount training (for telemetry, which is what we use as an extra insurance policy ...
