Am I the only one who doesn't have a bird but still can't wait for the next video to come?! I love how you show us all how to respect the animals that are in our lives. I am a better parent to my dog now. I have a great respect for this channel.

I think Indian Ring Necks, have the most adorable, cutest voices and behaviour's of the Bird's in the Parrot family? How could this adorable, Birds, family not want him? So, sad... 😪

Thank you for taking the time and effort to properly educate people about birds.

Love the little “O!” squeaks when he realizes you want something.

Touché did so amazing. It’s so incredible to see his progress from when you first got him until now.

Touché is such a sweet heart. I would take him in a heartbeat. 💚 He looks extremely adorable when he is in this mellow state. Almost dreamy. 🤗

love his little responsive peeps. Can imagine a bird gets full after enough treats

I seriously think a parrot would be good therapy for me. Do to the fact I can interact with it more.

His little squeaks make my heart sing!

I love this, my Rio wants to touch it through tv 😆 😅

He’s a smart little dinosaur 🦖

I love Indian ringnecks. I love his little squeaks.

My lovebird and I were watching this together and when he heard the clicker he got REALLY animated. I thought he was just curious but every time you clicked he got excited and started looking around. Apparently he wanted to train. Aren't parrots fabulous? And yes, we took a short break to practice touch training and spins on a new surface.

Jamie you are so intelligent. It never ceases to amaze me your ability to understand animals and train them. You’re a master of conditioning! Every psych teacher should use you as an example in class lol

You should use your clicker to train that guy in the kitchen to do housework.

Aw, what a sweet bird! I've been living with an African Grey named Smokey for almost 31 years now, and I just have to show her how to do something once or twice and she learns almost immediately just by watching me. I bought her some foraging toys and it takes me at least 5 times longer to fill them than it takes her to get the treats out, lol.

I have grown to love birds.. and honestly.. I have my depression to thank for that. About 3 months ago I found myself wanting to care for something to make me feel important.. and after reading about Budgies.. I couldn’t stop thinking about getting one. So my family and I went out and found a young Budgie. I named him Edwin. I have always been a dog lady.. so training animals is something I really love.. and learning how to train Edwin has been so much fun. We have built so much trust in each other and he recently started giving me kisses! It was such a great feeling of success! His flight training has gone well so I have moved his cage to a bigger room to keep working on distance. He’s so young still so I’m really excited to watch our relationship grow and continue to bond. As long as everything continues to go well between Edwin and I .. I plan on getting another parrot of some sorts in the future. But not until Edwin and I are completely ready! I don’t want to loose focus on him.. but I honestly can’t wait to see what other bird friends make their way into our family. Thanks for all of your tips! It’s been nice to see how different all the parrots are and what works for some and not for others.

Well, here is something funny: About 10 years ago, someone thought it was a good idea to set 4 of these birds free in a park in Amsterdam..... the population now is estimated to be around 20,000. I live 20 minutes drive from Amsterdam and I have during the winter sometimes more then 10 of them in my small garden coming to eat my bird seeds and apples (that I put there for them...)

Poor Touché yancked the yellow one "real good" 5:30, expected a reward and all he got was a weird look from his trainer :)

You are very patient training your Indian Ringneck parrot. He seems to loves the interaction and clallenge.

Touche learns quickly. He's one smart birdie.

He has the cutest voice though!

That is the cutest little squawk.

It's so interesting how individual birds are so different. My GCC thrives on excited praise and gets distracted by food treats, and determined to steal the treats rather than do the training. When training we don't always give good treat for each good action. We'll say "good boy!" Then randomly he'll get a food treat and when the session is finished.

I haven't watched your channel for a while, but I'm really chuffed to see touché again, (on the other hand I thought he was rehomed so it's also a shame to see him back!) I love his little language!

Beautiful Ringneck! Hope he gets another Ringneck Friend soon! Amazing training…what a smart boy!! Enjoyed watching it!!!!😍🦜👍🏻

PLEASE HELP US! Just rescued 20 yr old female ringeck. Was left in cage for the last 3-4 yrs no bird or human interaction other than feedings and when the grandmother would talk to her and take her out. Granddaughter was terrified of her and said Beabea the ringneck was "nasty" and had attacked her before. I can tell its fear aggression. When we went close to her cage she immediately backed away and has not tried to bite any if us since being here.. I can feed her with my hands. After she takes it she backs away and eats it. Shes loves all food. Especially corn. When we got her home she was receptive to target training however its only been done in her cage as she isnt clipped and its a new layout and I dont want her to get hurt or hurt anyone else. I dont know her body language or cues good enough yet. I dont want to miss something and her hurt someone bc i didnt see it soon enough. Shes been through enough and deserves to be free of her cage. She was in a 3footx18x18 cage with no toys and dirty bc they were to scared to clean it. It was rediculous! I immediately got her a flight cage which she is so much happier in. I can tell she is a wonderful bird she just needs the right ppl and help environment to grow and flourish. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you❤ Edit to add.** She is desensitized to so much, loud noises, kids, animals and it dont take long for her to investigate new toys and perches. which is probably due to her age which is a guess bc they didnt know for sure. Just that they had her around 15 yrs and she wasn't a baby when they got her. She also had a mate but she killed him. She does seem bird aggressive. I also noticed most of her back is bare with only down feathers closer to her bum and on her sides. Its only on her back. Not sure if its plucking as there is no feathers in her cage since being here and no other bald spots. I see her preen her back and rub aggressively with her head. Almost like she is irritated. We unfortunately had a hit financially and used our savings for vet care for our other rescues and to get the last two rescues home. She will be going one way or another and sooner than later. She needs to be seen as I don't think she has ever been to a vet before. I couldn't leave her. So many ppl wanted her but. Think they just wanted to sell her as she was free. Shes a wonderful bird and I know with patience, time and love she will be able to enjoy her last years and not in a dirty cage, all alone with nothing! 😢

touché is so cute all ringnecks look so confused like i had mine and it would always be confused

He is so goddamn cute, how can his owner not love him?

Ironically, this ringneck probably came from the Amazon :)

I love how David was watching from the kitchen, he looked blurry but happy :)

Omg it’s so cute watching him learn this trick 😭😭😭 I hope my ringneck will eventually stop fearing me so much and will let me get near his cage. Ive been doing this power stance that you made a video on and I do see a little progress for sure!

i love the noise his little feet make. puts a smile on my face.

I so very much miss my Indian Ring neck and i love it when you work with him.

Touche', that's a cool name.

I will say yalls marketing algorithm is on point😂 i literally just ordered some toys from you guys and get this ad at the top of my feed 😂 now if only my terrified, ex-breeder ringneck girl could calm down long enough to realize I'm not out to eat her

Bird: I don't get any snacks for pulling the yellow,red or green string ? She does give them away for blue,ok I go blue

Should put in the box the treats

My Lovebird has been trying to figure out how to land on the TV to get to Touché. LOL

Amazing how fast he figures this out such a enjoyable video

Thank you so much for thisssss video. I love seeing when people take such good care of Indian ring necks

Very smart and very cute.

He got this down so fast 🙂🙂🙂🥰🥰🥰

When your boyfriend came in, I expected you to use the clicker and sunflower seeds on him. 😁

Touche is cute 😍

You make clicker training look sooo easy 🤍. I clicker train my dog and it’s really timeconsuming to learn completely new tricks 😅.

just got my first ring neck been watching for years thanks loving it so far

I was literally just searching videos on ringnecks when your video came out!

This video is just in time! I got the same toy and struggling to teach my bird to use it~ this is so helpful!!!

I really like this type of video. Just a peak into the training session

He's sooo cute 🥰

What a cute and beautiful bird, love his coloration - oh and his personality too !

I went to a bird rescue/store today to see what they have for feed, toys, and products. There were so many birds needing re-homing. People really need to research and take the time to decide what type of bird they are suited to and realize that they are taking on a responsibility that can last decades. I’m not suited to large birds as They freak me out and I don’t like the noise or mess they leave. I love smaller birds.

Hi love your videos he is so cute love Indian ringnecks

My ringneck watching with us and he kept coming to the screen with each treat and couldn't understand why he isn't getting any...

I was going to say just how many pine nuts can he eat when Jamie says she was breaking them in half.

I order 5 mystery box so hope my ringneck bluecheese gets something good he likes 😊

Lovely video, lovely channel. I just watch to relax.

You're extremely patient 🥰

He did so well! I wish there had been something like this in the 1990s when I had my Cockatiel. I think he would have loved this! Really cool to watch. 🦜

Lol indian ringnecks have their own way It really reminds me on my irn Those feather Bob heads are really cute

Pine nuts? Yummy 😋. I’ll pull on those strings for pine nuts. 🤓

So smart

So CUTE

I love all ur pets

I love the sound of the ringneck

This is amazing and it makes me feel good about things. Thank you.

SO scared!!

If you would like another Indian ring neck come to London UK, we are plagued with them over here 😱

I’ve never had to train my bird to use or play with a toy. Just put it in their cage and they will do it on their own automatically, usually right away

Hah hah, I have a Quaker parrot that hates everything new, attacks or obliterates new toys without remorse. Sometimes bites me by accident I think? Even though he doesn't want to leave me.

awee I’m thinking about getting one I already have 3 conyors I’m not sure how to spell it English isn’t my first language LOL

hes very handsome

Thank you for these videos! So helpful and inspiring, the little comments make all the difference for me. I thought i knew how to target train but I feel like I should try it again. I actually have this toy and never thought to do it quite this way.

Should I feed this birb with fruits/vegetables? So here is the situation I'm in - I'm supposed to take care of the birb for a month while my sister is out of town, and usualy she feeds him various seeds but I noticed he stops yelling (which he does A LOT, like a donkey from hell) if I 'bribe' him with cucumbers, apples, cherries, various berries or even watermelon. 😄

Unfortunately my birds are now so triggered by the sound of the clicker mostly because I spent all of this time and energy teaching them to associate the sound of the clicker with being rewarded with treats that when they hear it and don’t get a treat they get upset. So because I’m a renter and live in a place that has hollow doors that aren’t able to be completely sound-proofed, they’ll hear me clicking for a different bird and the other bird will get upset that he’s not getting a treat. I don’t know what to do. Now as soon as I bring out the stick and click maybe 3 times it seems to piss off my birds and cause them anxiety I’ve basically abandoned target stick and clicker training because of how upset they get after just a few minutes

curious... why didn't you just start with that second orientation?

I bought this toy for my sun conure. She enjoys it. She would trick train 24/7, but I wear out …lol. I love your training videos because they have been very helpful to me. Is this the same Touché you had before. I guess I missed how you got him back

Would it help to put a treat inside the box? Xx

Hey jamieleigh (sorry if I misspelled that) I’m a really big fan of your work, yt channel and website I’ve even bought your tiny toys line. I was wondering what clicker stick are you using in this video in the beginning when touché first appears on screen? I’ve been wanting to buy one of these for my green check but I don’t know which to get and if your using it then it must be good:)

What do you use for training treats? I am working on training my cockatoo but haven't found any treats he is crazy about.

Thank you for video. My ringneck also does not care for sunflower seeds.

Unrelated to the video but are budgies good starter birds for 2 responsible kids/pre-teens and an adult? My brother has been wanting a bird and my mom thinks it’s a good idea so i’ve been doing some research on them and their care and I just want to know because some people say they are and some people say they aren’t.

He's so cute! So did I understand you correctly? He's available?? 🙂

Where can we purchase a training clicker like the purple one shown on video?

OMG I LOVE HIM 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥺

A hand raised jay I had, taught himself to open matchboxes😕

Just curious if you can put the link to item you got from Amazon in this video. Thanks

Hi new fan here. What are you using as a treat?

Hmm. I wonder if all birds are as cautious about object that have a different orientation than that which they are used to. I suppose it makes some sense. Objects that can change orientations could be dangerous in the wild. Though, one would expect other animals to show a similar fear. I don't recall my cat ever being cautious of objects that had their orientations changed. In fact, if anything she was often curious about them. Perhaps it's a prey/hunter dichotomy. Prey animals tend to be much more captious of nearly everything. Hunter animals, less so.

I got that same toy!! I haven't used it on my ringneck yet

Very funny

What do you use as a reward treat?

Where do you get the clicker?

Hello. I have an off topic question. I just adopted a senior male budgie. His beak is over grown. What causes this? What are the best clippers for this? His beak has to be trimmed every week

I have a ringneck who is 10 years old and his previous owners never trained him and rarely let him out of his cage. I can't get him to respond to the clicker/target stick yet because he doesn't like being handled and doesn't come close enough for me to feed him treats. Any tips please?

I have loads of wild Alexandrine Parakeets where i live ( Some are really big, more than 50 cm's from head to tail ). They fly freely through the city and through feeding i can get them on my balkony and feed them but not by hand. Is there a trick to get wild parakeets even closer ? Would love if i can feed them by hand.

When is the best time to start target training? I'm waiting on my new lil INR that will be about 3 mo old and am wondering what is the best age to start or is it sooner the better? Thanks

Where's his long tail? Aren't ringnecks supposed to have them?

wow such a mess from sunflowers. so lucky my irn is crazy bout apples, so i can train him with little peaces of apple. leaves nothing behind
