Vinny in the background complaining 😂😂😂

Bird tip!!! Install a perch OUTSIDE of the birds cage in a place where they can easily get to it, this way they can be outside and still be on their cage. I did this to my bird and he loves it

11:52 “Secret Cleaver” I know you wanted to laugh!! 🤭 😂 Oh Vinny! 💕🤣😂

Don’t own any birds, but the ringnecks are by far the prettiest parrot in my unknowledgeable opinion.

I train my birds just like you do. Isis looks exactly like my Rio. She went through the bluffing stage but it passed and she loves me now. I enjoyed this video very much, thanks.

Vinny always stealing the attention in the video , his so funny you can hear him in the background 😂😂. Great video , I loved learning new stuff from you Marlene !

Yay a video about a Indian Ringneck 😍

Hi Marlene, thank you for your video. I like to hear your advice about parrots. I love cockatiels. They are so cute with their little beak and funny style. They also have a very good sniffs 😄😊

Hahaha I can hear Vin chewing you out!! He's pissed!

The 101 parrots in Marlene's house

Monty the shuffling old man..I could actually see Monty waddling across the floor, desperate to get to you!! So cute!!

I think this woman is amazing, and I love listening to her very knowledgeable person.

I had an African Ringneck. He was my sweetest bird ever. I got him soon after he was hatched and ready to home.

I just adopted a 30 year old grey and I literally teared up watching this video. I wanted to make sure I was doing the right things to help him, and so far I've been doing everything you do! I know this old man and I will be fast friends!! Thank you!

My birds have gotten so much more confident the past few months, i leave their cage open a lot and first they would just chill out on the cage but now they come to me to see what im doing and to steal food

Love how everything she is saying is interesting shes not just not rambling . Some people are just ment to be entertaining

Put your hands up & give me all of your donuts George!! 🤣🤣

I thought it was a good sign that Blue wanted to fly very soon. I felt for You that he was injured. Fantastic Blue!

I have a Quaker parakeet. He was terrified of being out when we bought him and he showed some cage territorial behavior as is common in Quakers especially! We decided to leave his cage door open for most of the day as I did stuff around the apartment. I was pretending not to watch him lol. He did eventually like coming out but his body language showed that even having his door open all day was a lot for him to handle. When he was too anxious to be on top of his cage and too anxious to have the door open, I would lay on the couch next to his cage. I knew we had to bond and that was important to really tackle his cage territorial behavior. Once I began to see that me being next to his cage was no longer creating anxiety, I would put my toe on the base so he could see it. I would just leave it there a few minutes at a time gradually increasing in time. I wanted to put more of my foot on the bottom bars but every time I tried, he would become anxious. Do I made a game out of it. He is not prone to biting and he is terrified of the floor so I realized that I would never have to deal with him chasing my feet. I painted my toe nails a bright bright red to attract his attention. He came down to check out my toes as I know he likes bright colors. We made a game out of him coming to see my toe polish. He was so excited to play and Chase that he didn't notice as I touched his cage more and for longer. We also bonded during this time. Now I could probably do whatever to his cage and he's not territorial with me lol. I know it seems unconventional to make a game out of it but I paid close attention to his body language and he wanted to bond and needed to trust. He was just really nervous about it! Also, it took 6ish months to get him to where he liked being out and was not nervous! We did get him a rope perch that we screwed on the outside of the cage because stands are terrifying!

I ❤️ LOVE ❤️ these educational videos. I love all you videos but these are amazing to watch. I never realized how basic body language between bird and person is so important to “listen” to. ❤️

You're awesome Marlene I started watching your channel about a month now. I have a Quaker that used to be my dad's he my dad passed in 2016 and the bird would not let anyone touch him,so I started watching you and working with him now he let's me touch him and he steps up to me only no one else can do it when I get home from work he'll even say step up ,he actually asks to be picked up now 👍

Perfect timing for this. I have 2 Male Eclectus coming both are between the ages of 7 and 9 months. One it's coming in from Alaska and the other Quebec. So with them being rehome already cause the owners do not have time for them. So I'll buy a extra perch sticks just incase.

This is exactly how my lovebird was when I brought her home. With lots of patience she's my bud now. But I worked so hard, on her terms, for months.

You should do a parrot tup Tuesday about how to pick up/hold a bird & how to get comfortable with holding them/walking around with them especially if they're an aggressive rescue bird.

I proud to own a blue male Ringneck; he's 13, someone gave him to my son a year ago. My son gave me the bird a week ago. Ger-man is aggressive and territorial about his cage. He's aggressive; the previous owner did not spend a lot of time with Ger-man so he's non-trusting. However, I've been working with him. He speaks that's the best part, he fights that's the worst part...lol..I'll survive.

It's one thing for a youtuber to talk about taming and training birds while using a bird that is already fairly tame and trained as an example, it's another to see a direct example of what an experienced bird person can do with a bird that is not bonded, super tamed or super trained with them, this is by far my favorite type of bird content to watch because it is so helpful both with my own birds and with me preparing to adopt another bird!

I have an IRN who is almost 3 months. I've had Niko 11 days. He's like Isis but worse. He won't get on a stick or anything, much less my finger. I am new to your channel and Parot Station. You give excellent advice. I love how you interact with the birds. Thank you.

You're getting ready to sit down and watch a movie with George, no, you said the birds!!! So funny!

So glad I found this. I just got my 4 mo old blue INR & am going through this very thing lol - can't wait to see your progress ❤️

I used to be scared of ringneck because once a lutino IRN gave me a nasty bite. Now I have my own, the green IRN which I bought for reselling again for my birdshop in exhibition, but he caught my heart so I decided to keep him with me. Now he is the most stable bird ever, never bit me. I didnt even see his bluffing phase as most people and article wrote about bluffing stage of IRN. Now he is 2 yo.. my beautiful IRN Pui

It is going to be okay Isis, you are in VERY loving hands. Not to mention a happy, educated bird (sniffer) house. Marlene & George are really cool people. Just ask Vinny he will tell you all about how cool all the other birds are (especially him😎) Thank you again George and Marlene to the rescue! Lot's of love and happiness to the entire gang😘

Marlene I watch all your videos, and this one was incredibly helpful for me. I have a parrotlet who is very timid. He's definitely more willing to interact with me away from his cage, so I'm going to work harder on creating playstands and safe areas for him in every room, to give us more options and help him gain confidence out of the cage. Thank you!

JERSEY IS THE STAR!!!! 😍💜🕊💜🕊💜

I'm so happy your caring for Isis Marlene! I was homeless for a time and a relative watched my female Indian ringneck. I was so afraid they would just give her to a rescue before I could get a place to live again. Thank you for doing these videos for us sniffers

I had a ringneck that came from a somewhat abusive situation and he hated me. I also have another ringneck that loves me to bits that I have had since he was a baby. I always kept his cage open and did exactly what you just said in this video. He warmed up to me but not to the point where he wanted to hop up, but I still always kept his cage open for him to do what he wanted. He would mainly stay in his cage and come out every so often, but he always had the choice. He eventually started taking food from my hand, but still would not hop up....all this was over a 2yr time span. He lives with my sister now and he has completely changed! He comes out on his own everyday and flies to my sister to hang out with her. I think he just didn't like me or felt competition from my other ringneck since they are both males...idk. he is so much happier where he is with my sister, so that makes me happy.

I just got an albino parakeet this week! I am being patient but I am excited to try to engage this new addition. I have 2 flighted parakeets, the ablino is clipped. Huzzah for new birds!!🐦

Love ya Marlene and floofers 💖 Wish I was close to you, I would have asked if you knew of someone that could have taken my birds ~ Sun Conure, Green Cheeked Conure and and Cockatiel. My home is in forcloser and to be sold on the 28th of March. It's been really hard, don't care about what happens with me but my life is my birds and three cats. Say a prayer for us. 🙏💚💙💚💛

Marlene, thank you for the information. Idk about the bluffing phase. You are amazing with all of your teaching techniques. Ty so much. Love you guys and the feather babies!!!! Omgosh! Vinny is hilarious! 🤣

I had a cockatiel years ago that I was able to get out on a stick. And once he was out, he was super sweet. But he did not like anyone near his cage

I learned so much about how to train a bird that’s new to you also, Vinny never gets old with his rants. I want a day w Vinny in person ..at your house. Sounds creepy but not intentional. 😀🤣😃😆😄

I’m so excited for this series on your channel. I’m a newer sniffer with 3 timid cockatiels and it’s been harder than I imagined to find resources on how to bond and handle them at this stage. I found that I’ve already started doing a lot of things you mentioned here but I need to get better about removing the cage from the equation once they’re out. Thank you for all you do Marlene, it’s made me so much more confident in being a bird mom. ❤️

I can see she is already coming around with you. Very good, she needs a loving person and stable home. Hopefully her owners will be able to get back on their feet soon.

I'm sad such a beautiful Egyptian goddess name was ruined by terrorists haha

I can't wait for tomorrow. This channel is my life! Who else LOVES watching Marlene? (Please like if you really enjoy these videos.)

Great tips! I dont have a bird yet. still learning. My favourite part is Vinny yelling in the background. lol.

Marlene, I never tire of listening to you and Birds, and of course every time I see or hear Vinny it makes my day I even go to bed giggling over stuff I've heard him say thank you

Typical ringneck loves being a bat bird lol. Taming ringnecks is my thing! Done it 3 times over with my avairy bred ones, they are all fully flighted so was much harder haah but 5 years on and we have a great bond :)

Thank you for your video, Marlene on how to tame a timid bird. Poor Isis. He will learn to love you once he relaxes! It must be very stressful for him now. He is lucky to be with you. Love and big hugs, Barb, Baby, Beenie :)

I have a pair of budgies, they aren't really into physical affection, but they definitely love me, they give me flock calls, they like to watch whatever I'm doing, and when one had a broken blood feather (it wasn't a bad one and he's fine!) the whole ride to get him checked out he insisted on being able to see me and calmed down because I talked to him. Not all birds show affection by cuddling, some just want you around.

Great bird psychiatry, Marlene! Isis will definitely give in to your charm soon. Wait! Vinny knows about his subtitles?!!! What a character.

Thanks for taking care of Isis! She's a beauty. Hope she'll be feeling safe and comfortable soon.

Thank you for the awesome video teaching us about taming the bird.

Love this

i literally got a bird ringneck and she is the most loving thing she can't be left alone if she is she will scream and throw a fit

Hi, Marlene! I always learn a TON from your videos. I have considered a bird for years now (literally!) and decided a long time ago that I would never intentionally GET a bird because I know myself and my schedule, but if a bird "happened", I would take it on, adjust and commit (like I would never intentionally have a child, but if a child happened to me that would be a different situation). I've had a couple of near misses with birds happening; once with a conure and once with a macaw. In both situations I didn't need to take the bird because an experienced bird person was available. I LOVE them SOOOO much it's not even funny. I don't work for a shelter or anything, I just am a total animal person and have friends who are, too. Because of your videos, I would feel confident to deal with a bird in an emergency situation, to take a bird for a friend in need, or to take one on as a permanent companion if the situation arose. Thank you for all you do!

Another really helpful lesson about interacting with our birds, Marlene. Thanks so much. I wish I'd learned some of these things years ago when I had my Lovebird. He wasn't caged, but could've had a much better life if I had known more about parrots. I hope anyone considering a bird pet will discover your vlogs. Even though I'm too old for a long relationship with another bird, I may volunteer at a rescue or sanctuary and I'll encourage everyone to tune in! namaste

This is the BEST advice on taming a scared, untamed bird I have seen so far.

I just love how you are with the birds.

I got a Cockatiel a few days ago.Your channel helps me with certain things about birds.

This was the best birdvideo i have ever seen! Thank you so so much for everything you do!! I wish I had this avaliable when I adopted a rescue bird a few years ago.

As a bird owner since 2008, I could've learned something new everyday listening in to your vids....never too late! Thank you & a big kudos to you and your loved ones! We'd read Bird magazines that simply stated a bird was normally attracted to one in the household and this very limited way of thinking has never been the upliftment I've yearned for as a bird owner whom has had to accept our bird(s) were only inclined to accept one of us. As the one who does all the work of feeding and clean up, Joe has only had to show up and be the one our bird would look forward to daily head rubs. Taking one day at a time or one vid at a time, I am finding I can make a world of difference in our bird taking a liking to the both of us! First there was Fathead and now there is RodneyBird. Changing the way we handle our bird(s) :) thank you mucho!

I absolutely love that they get to see you with a bird that hasn't taken to you right away. Even Cody almost immediately became comfortable! I don't think you were taping Vinny's rescue so I'm not sure how that went but I think this is awesome for people that have these issues to watch you with an uncomfortable bird! Awesome!! Good luck Marlene!

I have to disagree with "bird doesn't want to be in the cage" The cage is a safe zone for a bird that should be fun with food and toys too. It should also be a nice big size. they don't want to be locked in it 24/7 of course. It's like humans and their bedrooms. It's their personal safe area. I work at an avian focused store and we have an elderly Amazon that was stand trained and has been on a stand instead of a cage for at least several years now. In the past few months he has been going into empty cages and closing the door and just chilling there. so now at night we put him in one of the cages and take him back out in the morning. He still goes back to the cage for the most part throughout the day. My eclectus is also free to go in and out of his cage as he pleases throughout the day and usually he hangs around me but sometimes he will just go back into his cage and nap or play with the toys in there.

Thank you Marlene for this informational video! Isis is so beautiful! Love you and your birds!

I love hearing Vinny! His antics are so funny. And hearing Jersey screaming in the background too was so funny. I love your birds so much and you're so good with them too! ♥

Omg this would’ve been so helpful like 4 months ago when I got my bird lol. I had no idea what to do when my bird came out of the cage

Great video!! Both because you were teaching and explaining, as well as showing how to include birds in daily life. I made my mom listen to the part about it being not acceptable to have the bird in the cage all the time. And that weather you have a good relationship with the bird or not you can still let it out of the cage to sit on top of its cage or on a stand in the same room with you.

Thank you for this video Marlene, this video was an eye opener on how my budgies act. I've had them for almost two years now and they still act how Isis does; even though I've been trying to tame them. I hope the tricks in this video will help me with my budgies.

I love watching your videos with my birds. They like watching birdies on tv an learning that people are ok from other birds.

Thank you! So many websites tell you not to handle your bird for the first few days when you bring it home, which always seemed crazy to me. I'm glad to hear a different perspective. I'm going to be bringing home my conure baby in about 3 weeks when she's weaned. I have been regularly visiting her, so hopefully when I get her home she will remember me, but this is really great info!

Thank you soooo much❤I don't have an indian ringneck,I have an african grey for a year,but he is still very timid!😕I hope this video helps me to tame him😊!I love your channel and your videos!❤

Omg, nice and clear presentation ever. I've seen. Thanks From Canada 🇨🇦

She's right here right now!!! BOX! IN HERE NOW!

Love love love this video! I did the stick method and he was afraid of it. My bird has not been taught to step up but he will walk out of his cage on his own. I need to get some stands. I think that will be more enjoyable for him. It seems they’re $500+ everywhere so I waited. I don’t know where to go get a nice one

That was cool--you got him out of there for a while.

My bird had never been handled before. The first week i kept him in the cage and let him get used to his surroundings, the second week I had the vet I worked for clip him. From then on I have his cage open so he can choose to come out or not. He learned how to step up to a perch quickly and it made it easy to transport him. Today after watching this video, I got him to step up on my finger for the first time after he was being extra moody with me this morning. So thank you. This really helped me out a lot. I feel like my bird and I are both making progress getting to understand one another. (I've only had him maybe a month)

L❤️ved the great step by step details , on how to work with a bird that does not love you. ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️

Marlenes 101 on birds. Love the info and tips. You have helped me sooo much with your videos. Thank you. 😀❤️💛💚💙💜💗

Thanks for all the tips, I'm looking forward to trying them.

Poor Isis ,but I am happy that you are with her to help and care ,you will be blessed by god ,you are so kind to take her ,she is in good hands ,love you Marlene

I've been thinking about getting a ringneck for a while now and I feel like this video is a sign that I should lol.

Thank you so so much for this video Marlene, i own a male Blue Indian Ringneck and this has helped me out so much! 💙Love youre channel and your birds especially Jersey🤗

Very informative. Thank u Marlene.

Fascinating video, Marlene.

Love your videos marlene😁

What a beautiful bird . WOW so pretty

I love your birds and I think you and your birds are the best

Hi, Marlene!! Just found your channel a few days ago-WOW-you & George are AMAZING!!! Learn so much EVERY video-you are a great teacher & Parrot genius-it is amazing how you understand these birds so well!!! They LOVE you!! Thanks for making life so fun & good & heartwarming ❤️for all of us!! LOVE YOU!! PS. Don’t have any birds right now, but I love them & will someday again! We feed the most beautiful peacocks here in Florida 😊🙏❤️🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞

Thank you so much for this video! Ive been waiting for 4 years for help like this with my cockatiel!

Actually this is really helpful even though I saw the video late but my Indian parakeet we rescued about a year ago was quite ruined and aggressive but following the same steps she recommended, it really worked and it turned out to be a really friendly and loving bird.

Love how informative this is 💜

Thank you sooo much this makes my bird trusts me

This is so helpful!! Thanks for sharing 🐦

Super great advice! Im having a little bit of an issue with my Ringneck. I bought him a new cage it's been sitting in the living room next to his other cage for 2 and 1/2 Weeks. I've tried to put treats on it I walked past and he thinks it's the devil he just tries to fly away.

I just love you and your videos so much! I love how you educate everyone and promote getting the bird out of the cage. I feel like no animal should ever be kept in a cage (except fish lol 😆) right now my cockatiel is whistling in our screen room 😁

My blue ringneck, Vinny, was naturally a very social and friendly bird. Love your videos and your little Isis!

This is awesome! I think I could hear Vinny in the background in some parts 😂 Vinny is my favorite

Really love you . Great work.

Aww I wanted to see Merlin! Isis is very pretty and I hope she warms up soon. Her bird mom is so lucky to have you to be able to help.

this is the most helpful video ive watched
