Pionus owners reply below! What has been your experience owning one?

I saw this parrot and fell in love right away

I’m so happy people are starting to recognize these more underrated species of parrots! Especially since the Pionus and Poi are great birds!

It's like the clint's reptiles format but with parrots, love it

I love that they're a chill bird. Definitely would consider when I can afford one.

I desperately need more Sora content! Bronze-winged Pionus are my dream bird, have been for years now, but there is sooo little content on KZfaq about them!! So when I saw your videos, I was very hyped that there will be more high quality vids with them :3 Maybe make a vid like... "A day typical day with a parrot" or so? :3

Do you like the new set for the channel? Let me know!

Thank you for mentioning the breeders for the pionus; I'd never heard of these guys before! If you'd be so kind, I'd love if you introduced your birds in the videos with a little name-card visual, or with a short mentioning of their name in your intro. I want to know what their names are! I love your videos!

Beautiful bronze wing. I like these birds but the availability is scarce with a high price... I want a quiet beginner bird that can be independent, (and some talking would be cool too!), so I think I’m gonna get a Myer’s. But pionus are super cool too! Glad you reviewed both of those birds.

Bronze wing was my top choice when I started researching pet bird species; however there are no breeding pairs in my country :( So I opted for the white capped

Thanks for this video. It was really helpful in helping me decide which bird to get. My baby bronze winged pionus arrived last night and she’s had a lovely day today getting to know the family 🥰

Im Colombian and they sell these in my country for like 70 bucks lmaooooo

We need more attention on these guys because they are my dream pet! When my living situation settles down I am going to get one, thanks so much for putting those links in the description!

First video of yours that I've seen and you're already my favorite bootleg Clint's Reptiles :D There are so many kinds of parrots & parakeets that you'll never run out of content. Not to mention how important it is to know about each bird in-depth as people are going to be keeping them for a long time. Of all the possible animals to pick for this format I think you really struck gold! Would love to see a video on Plum Headed Parakeets!

I love Pionus! :D They are such lovely birds and if I felt like I had the proper amount of time to devote to one (and a bigger place), I would love to consider having one. The bronze wing in particular is the most gorgeous, but I also really like the Dusky pionus. Right now I have 4 Bourke's parrots and they are perfect for me, given my work schedule, small apartment and that I'm the only one in the house. They are such gentle birds with sweet voices, so independent but absolutely curious and loving in their own ways even though they don't like being touched or don't like to step up! I give them to fly and explore after I get home from work every day so they are very happy with the way things are. I'm afraid I wouldn't have the time to devote to a pionus, but maybe someday. :)

this is jus like clints reptiles’ series but yano, for birds. i actually really like the idea but i would say to maybe change the look of the thumb nails at least so u don’t get negatively “called out”. not saying u would but u know wat some people r like

Love your channel man. Keep the awesome content coming!

As soon as I can get a bird, I'm getting a pionus. I've been drawn to them like a magnet the instant I started looking into birds. They just have the perfect personality for me and they look almost like a painting, a dark base with splashes of so many different colors. I don't get why they aren't more popular. I think they're beautiful.

Ever since i knew about their existance bronze wing pionus was a dream bird for me. And now when I come back to the idea of a pionus, this might be the perfect parrot for me! As a side note, I acctually managed to see one in real life about 5 years ago in Poland. I could only admire it from afar since it was so shy though. But still, never thought I'd ever see one with my own eyes!

Love Pi’s. Super sweet. Love your new backdrop. ☺️❤️

After doing a ton of research on different birds (including your videos) I’ve come to the conclusion that a bronze wing is the perfect parrot for me. Happy to report that I’m on Patty’s waitlist! It’ll still be a long wait, but one day I’ll have one! Just as a heads up, it sounded like they’re raising prices. Still worth it though.

you've been one of the most informative channels in my journey to potentially bring a bird home! Thank you so much :D

Very good looking parrot! I adopted an Indian Ring Neck about three weeks ago. He turned 4 months on November 9th. I also have a little Budgie and she is 3 years old.

Love these videos!

Broo this is completely different atmosphere when you make the video alone! I love it man. You got my sub man. Im looking forward to more

Thank you for such an interesting and informative video. Enjoy your pionus!

Thanks to your video about the species, and meeting a local pionus breeder (and his feathered babies) who happened to have one more Bronzed winged baby, I'm getting my first parrot in just under ten days 🥰 I'm so excited!!! Looking forward to more of your videos about your beautiful Sora and flock.

Ha! I just subscribed right before you asked. Really been enjoying your videos and learning so much. Thank you!

Great information..I was searching for such informative video.. thanks you

This was soooo much help thank you so much!!

They seem so sweet! I'd love to have one. Birds are just so amazing

I am drawn to their darker, muted colouring and easy disposition.

Legend. Don’t stop making videos.

Great info! I almost thought im watching clint’s reptile 😂

Amazing review!!!!!! We are getting one ....wooooo

What a gorgeous bird! Subbed.

These videos are great! You're gonna be famous soon

luvving the show you and this darlin', and that stand ! (Bamboo)?...

Nice set!

I’ve had my bronze wing ‘Raku” and with these videos I finally understand so much of his behaviors. Unfortunately I lost the ability to scratch, pet and handle Raku because he was sick with aspergillosis which is a deadly disease. My husband was able to treat him for almost a year with antibiotics and anti fungal medication giving him doses twice a day. Raku was not at all thrilled with the treatments but he LIVED. Now he is no longer the cuddly sweetheart he was. He prefers to spend his time with my 30 year old Senegal. I miss the cuddles and scratches but I am great full we were able to save his life. 7:42

Thank you - very informative!

That is one of the most beautiful birds I have ever seen.

Awsome! I had a breeding pair of white capped pionus...they were sweet & let me pet them, even as breeders! Great birds!

I am getting some Clint's reptile vibes. Loving it!

I just recently brought a bronze winged pionus home thanks to your video. It was a huge help with making that decision, not that many information about them around. And for the cost, here in central Europe a hand-fed bronze winged cost me about 520 USD, they are really not that uncommon around here.

And just like that I need a Pionus in my life.

these guys seem awesome!! i dont see a lot of pionus where im from, wish that was different. my boyfriend would love the look and personality, but we already have 3 birds :)

Proud to bring the subs to 120

This bird is like a not-a-parrot parrot and pretttty expensive. No wonder they re expensive since most breeders are monopolizing.

what a cool chill parrot i want one

The pinous bird looks like a small amazon parrot.they are very cute birds.you have a wonderful evening with all of your birds.

"Look how cool it is" Bird: "Imma turn around cos yall don't deserve me"

OMG three grand. Same as a Maine Coon. Now I'm bummed. And thank you very much for a very good informative upload

Nice video👍👍👍

I like them because it kinda looks like a falcon

aw it's just beautiful :)

It's so funny, i wasn't even aware of this breed before the breeder i was supposed to buy a caique from had some complications with the one i was planning on getting, and then recommended me the pionus, as her pair had just laid two eggs, so once i read up on them, i fell in love, because they fit me much better, and i got it for a 1000usd :) I'm super happy with mine (her name is sona), and i realised how lucky i was, as they are very rare here as well

hey im subscribed!

I bought a pionus but not a bronze wing in my local pet shop in India, it only cost ₹700 or about 10 dollars. Totally with the cage it cost 30 bucks. It's really cheap in India.

I subscribed!

I have a Bronze Winged Pionus here in Ireland. I agree, incredibly rare bird to get, but a superb pet. I disagree however about the size, they are in no way near the size of an African Grey, maybe slightly smaller than a Timneh Grey. I'd love to get another Pionus but alas difficult to find. I paid €700 for mine, so way cheaper than what you guys in the USA pay. Good video, thanks for sharing. John

Our Bronze Wing Pionus has gotten more and more awesome over time as we've learned how to motivate and train him and as he's learned to trust us :) He's gotten super sweet and loves lots of cuddles 🥰 For a while he became a one person bird, but through other people spending more time around him, giving him treats and doing training with him he's getting better with other people in our family! He models quite a bit after our slightly older parrot, a Yellow Naped Amazon. It probably makes him a little louder than a lot of Pionus, but he's also a good talker and learned most of his first words from our Zon :) He loves to play around on and with toys, etc, like our Zon. Both of them especially love hanging from toys and pretending to fight them 😂 Our Zon can be harder to have around while we're doing certain things than our BW. Our Zon often just HAS to get into what we're doing or won't leave us alone so we can work on things. Also he can get into trouble so fast and knows how to sneak! So we have to watch him pretty closely when he's out. We can have our BW with us more easily a lot more of the time because he's not as rambunctious and doesn't tend to get into things around the room. (Our birds are flighted. ) Also, our BW just gets more and more beautiful! He's 2 years old now.

Absolutely love your videos and rating system. Looking for a very cuddly bird. Which parrot(s) would you rate highest (5/5) on the head ability scale?

cool video thanks!

It’s also great with those with allergies. I can’t wait to get a pionus myself

Hi, I absolutely love pionus birds and am considering getting one, but I am most of the time from 8 am to 5 pm away (not the weekends ofcourse), I will ofcourse immediately take him out of the cage as soon as I get home and make sure that he has a very large cage with lots of toys and foraging toys, is this still too long or is this ok for the pionus? Btw your account is really helping me with research!! Thank you in advance!

The bird looks cool!!! Does a Blue-headed Pionus have the same charackteristics like a bronze wing Pionus? Can you tell us something about your equipment? Like how many bird lamps you have , How to increase the humidity and many other things i dont know. How do you effectively keep your room clean so its less work for you. Thank you for your content:)

It's a shame about that price tag and waiting list. I have a good amount of experience with smaller birds (budgies, cockatiels, lovebirds) but my last lovebird died a few years ago and I've been feeling lately that I'd like get another feathered friend and maybe step up to a little bigger of a bird that is still apartment-viable. These guys look perfect.

Great video…could you do a blue headed pious review…just got one!

I found one in the Chicagoland area for $10,500 in November 2023. The only one I've seen for sale in 4 years so they just might get the price.

I think I may have found the perfect parrot for me and they are absolutely amazing. I want one so bad

Now, if I could only afford one, lol. They are even more expensive now. Better start playing the lottery.

God I have never wanted a pet more this checks everything I want about a pet it looks awesome I love birds in General (even though I’ve never owned one) but they are so expensive the closest and cheapest I could find with (minimal) research was for $5000 and it was like a state and a half away

In my opinion they are one of the best because they don't get attached to one person and they're not as noisy as most birds they are very awesome and not hard to take care of they do live a long time I think they are the perfect bird for anyone looking they could be a little expensive that's the only part

Hi, thank's a lot for this video: it's not easy to find out such detailed informations about bronze wing pionus! A question: I've had a female cockatiel since five years, and now i'd like to buy a bronze wings pionus, too. What do you think about the bronze wings attitude in relating himself with other pet birds? Can Pionus be aggressive? Of course will be my care to provide a proper cage to each parrot and to supervise their interactions personally. Thank you for your answer and sorry for my english. Ciao da Francesco, Italy

I need one of those. They’re are meant for me

This is my dream bird. My fiancé got a Caique so I’ll never be able to get one. I wanted a chill bird now I have the most high maintenance lol

3000$ what a big amount here in my country they goes for under 500$

The only pionus I can find in my area (without being scammed online) is a white capped pionus. Is there a behavioral difference? I've been really wanting a white capped anyways, but I wouldn't mind a bronze winged because they are gorgeous too. It's hard to decide but it's likely I'll get a white capped, should I expect any different?

Que preciosos tus pionus! Me podrías decir dónde los conseguiste es qué ando buscando un alas de bronce

Beautiful creature! Do they ever pluck out of boredom or habit?

Great video !!! I was wondering if you know any breeder that sells bronzewing pionus around Montreal or ontario?

Yo tuve un pionus senil o cabeza blanca. Pero se enfermo de aspergilosis y murió tenía 4 meses Ahora estoy esperando a que crien para comprar otro cabeza blanca , me encantas los colores Los alas de bronce también era otra opción Pero en varios sitios en internet dicen que suelen escoger a uno de la familia Usted que experiencia tiene ..? Es cierto? Sin embargo del cabeza blanca no lo dicen. Por eso repetiré Espero que me pueda responder. Muchas gracias Me encantas sus vídeos. Pues no hay mucha información sobre estos loros

Review a Hahns macaw soon? I’m looking at those and bronze wing pionus or Meyers’s

I'll be here when you're famous.

Ok, so I know that quieter birds are not as talkative but... which of the (apartment friendly) birds do you think, after a good while of bonding, are more likely to pick up a few words?

Please do review on Dusky and Blue Headed Pionus. I'm debating between those two.

Can you please show your birds diets? Training?

is this video format inspired by clintsreptiles? i like it

I was about to saying They are like Eagles 😍

Y pensar que estaba manejando mi moto y me estrello un pionus 😂😂😂. Ahora lleva 5 meses conmigo ya dice algunas palabras. Eso fue aca en colombia.

The little bird is camouflaged with the greenery in the background. Would better lighting help, or maybe less clutter in the background?

I wanted a pionus parrot but husband talked me into 2 blue crown conures. I think I made a mistake. Thinking of taking them back for the pionus. What do you think

Filming ends, Sokra (sp?) takes off bronze suit. Seriously though, Pionus can pass off as a Caique”s chill cousin. If there’s only 2 breeders in the I’ll wager we’re screwed here in Canada!

I’m looking forward for pionus in my family… however I afraid about climates changes.. My place gets cold as low as 3 deg in winters and hot as high as 45 deg in summers… Is it safe for pionus to live in these places .???

My partner and I are extremely interested in these birds. They are honestly at the top of our list, but one thing I haven't seen information on is whether they handle being in a home with another bird very well. We currently have a pinapple conure and wouldn't want to bring in a new bird without being confident that the new bird wouldn't threaten his safety. Do you know how they do in multi bird homes?

They're cool but I wouldn't even try to get one I don't have the patience to wait 5 years for a bird.

My Maximillian is pretty quiet. My Senegal on the other hand….obnoxious. 😂

Really my ideal bird, except for it’s almost impossible(really hard)to get one 😅

I want one 😍
