VIEW DAY 1 PART 1 HERE: • First Day With Bean Th...
Here’s what happened on day one with Bean the terrified Congo African grey! Bean is an 8 year old male African grey parrot.
He has been legally surrendered to Ronie's For the Love of Birds Parrot Rescue. You can apply to adopt Bean off their website once I'm done working with him here: roniesloveofbirds.com/adoption
Don't forget to support your local bird rescues! Your time is the best donation to these birds, as well as making them fresh, healthy food to eat or sending them toys to chew on. It doesn't always have to be a financial donation - you can even consider being a foster parront!
Thank you to my patrons over at Patreon for making it possible for me to take on Bean and other project birds. Follow the rest of Bean’s story over on Patreon at Patreon.com/BirdTricks as exclusive content to my Bondi tier and above.

@@patriceodell4079 I doubt that she was putting any force into it to keep him from flying. Maybe it helps with just a flutter or two, but if he were to full on try to get outta Dodge and she tried to hold him down with her thumb - he would freak & struggle, could injure himself or her; and the experience would add to his long list of fears. I'm positive she was not "holding him down" with her thumb - ie not forcefully.

using pets as reassurance will be good for him, its how i managed to help a stray cat with ptsd [i know not the same breed but most animals respond well to reassurance/love] The cat just showed up one day and while she wanted attention shed get spooked and hiss and run but then you'd see her "wake up" from it and look so sad, took weeks of me just letting her "wake up" and come back to be cuddled again for her to realise that I wasnt going to hurt her like i suspect others had. Sadly I moved and had to keep her at my family home so she rarely sees me now and it breaks my heart because while im still the only one who can pick her up and be hands on, she clearly doesnt want to relax 100% because she knows im not staying :( but i moved in with my partner and he already has cats and She really doesnt get on well with others. I have however started training my partners cat XD which he didnt believe me till he saw it for himself... She wont do it for him but i can have her sit and wait for me to put her food out rather than trying to headbutt her face into the bowl out of impatience. But for me she will sit and wait till i tell her its okay. Also managed to stop her jumping on the window ledge, after resistance from my partner despite her forever falling asleep and off said ledge one time actually falling out the window, which in on the second floor... shes smart but also very dumb XD

I would say less panicked more, "I don't fly often, so flying across the room was a lot for me." Kinda like how you'd pant after sprinting. There is def some stress there, but I would wager a good portion was also the flight itself. She did mention he's missing a lot of his flight feathers, so he likely is unused to flying for long periods of time.

Felicity it’s interesting. I don’t know if you follow the channel but they are incredibly good trainers. Jamie is the first to hold her hands up if she made mistakes. She rehabilitates problem birds and has shown over and again the success tmw he has with working with them. This video for instance, shows an incredibly scared parrot. If you watched all the way through you would know the. It’s has exhibited fear for the 8 years previous. Jamie’s sole intention is to rehabilitate the bird so it can go to a good home. If she waited until the bird came out on its own, regardless of time, she is eventually giving the bird the message that fear is ok. She has to help it overcome the fear and after allowing a long time for it to come out alone, she helps it. As soon as the bird is out the cage, it willingly climbs into her arm and sees her as a safe place. So much so that she has to work with it to get it off her arm. She’s a very good trainer.

These videos make me wish I could convince my in-laws to send their sulphur crested cockatoo, Angie, to a rescue. They rescued her from neighbors who abused her years ago, but she needs to be in a home with people who will give her all the attention she needs. She’s constantly stressed, plucking her feathers, she hates the Dad, poor girl needs a better home. The Mom knows she’s not happy, but is terrified whoever she gives Angie to will abuse her. She loves Angie and cannot imagine giving her up. I think she needs to see more videos like this, show her what happy birds looks like in proper birdie homes. I’ll show her your channel and hopefully it’ll convince her ❤️.

You'd probably have more success using this channel to educate your in-laws as to what changes they could make to the bird's environment that would improve its quality of life. No matter justified it is, or how gently you try and break it to your MIL that she can't provide the home the bird needs, she's gonna take it badly. Probably as a negative reflection on her, maybe even an insult. That's not gonna make her receptive to your advice. People get incredibly defensive about their relationships with their pets. Even when there's a glaringly obvious fault on the part of the owner (which is the true cause of 99% of 'problem pets') getting the owner to recognise that the problem lies with THEIR behaviour, and not the pet's, is the key battle which most of these animal whisperer types have to win to solve the problem. If your MIL loves the bird as much as you say, surely she'd be willing to make some improvements to the bird's life, which stop short of giving it up? That MIGHT be the ideal solution for the bird (even with the added stress of relocation), but it's hardly ideal for your MIL, which makes it less likely to be achievable.

I have one just like yours. Atlas is scared of everything. For example, if we get him a new stand, I have to take my sweater and allow him to be on it. I put him on the stand with the sweater and in a few days, he is off the sweater and biting the wood and playing. Whatever to make him comfortable, that's how they work when they are scared. Great job!

J Chacon you should definitely try desensitizing your bird. I’m sure there’s video on KZfaq on how to do so. It’ll help your bird be more confident in itself. And it’s just generally a good idea.

Our Eccie is kind of the same way.... Her breeder wasn't the best and she was terrified of everything when I met her two years ago. She's much better now and we've bonded enough that now when she is scared of something, I can typically show her it's fine just by interacting with it myself. She'll forget she's scared of anything if I somehow involve it with me eating, but really it's all about controlling the environment. I hope Mr. Bean Bob Sponge Butt does well! He already seems to love you which looks like it's making him more eager!

I am so impressed with the patience you have shown this beautiful bird. I loved how you included him by giving him bits of vegi's as you were making yourself lunch and by the way you kept right on talking to him in a soft voice. I'm glad there are people like you in the world who have been blessed and gifted to care for these animals. I won't say 'good luck' to you because I think you already have the situation under control. I look forward to your videos. Take care (and give Bean a little scratch on his back for me. LOL)
