Oh my goodness when she hugged lefty and he looked so into it! It's so amazing to think an "unadoptable" bird is in love with a 6 yr old girl! It's a true display of how birds are what their environment allows them to be.

I think lefty chose his person 👀 he trust that little girl and clearly loves her ✨💜✨ I hope you guys keep him with her as his forever home 🙊

Can I be Capri's voice and advocate for a minute? "Please, please,please, can I keep Lefty". It's Magical to see them together. Well done parents, well done.

Capri's becoming quite the little bird whisperer. And you can see so much of both you and Dave in her.

Lefty just needed a friend. It's hard when a bird doesn't have an established person/people to be around. I know my rescue Lovebird didn't become super lovey dovey until I spent lots of time and patience on him. I definitely felt honored when he let me scritch him for the first time 😭 I honestly think I cried a bit because I had had him for over a year at that point and while he would snuggle up under my ear to take naps, he was super freaked out by hands still. Love seeing Lefty opening up and allowing and seeking out companionship!💕

Lefty doesn't seem aggressive at all! He's a sweetheart!

Capri has a real gift, remember how she interacted with Chi chi.

Also I’ll jump on the bandwagon, Capri should keep Lefty! 😏

I love how Capri hugs the birds ❤️

Capri is the chosen one 👑

So you know you have to keep Lefty now, right? Lefty choose Capri. Case closed.

I know it’s impossible to keep every bird /animal but little Lefty loves Capri , hope she asks to keep him lol

Btw your daughter is very well behaved and she’s also a beautiful little girl🎀

Ooooo I am hoping and praying that maybe y'all will let Capri have her first bird by adopting Lefty!!❤❤❤❤ It sounds like he has found his person and after loosing his first person she would be his forever person. You are doing so good Capri!! What a wonderful thing you are doing!❤❤

Has Lefty found his Permanent home with Capri,, Mom - ? It really is - a Perfect Match

How adorable! Lefty bonded with Capri with fast...And your little girl looks so much her daddy!

Lefty going to be with Capri now? You can’t take away her bird now

Hmmm... "Lefty is clearly Capri's bird." i know you meant that they've just worked out really well as part of the training... but i wonder if, come 2 1/2 more months, that doesn't turn out to be a bit prophetic? Has Capri maybe found her first bird? :P lol, or maybe i'm just "shipping" it xD

Great job to your daughter. That is awesome. Great progress.

Oh & you should now include your daughter in your, "about us," on your description. She earned it with these birds! 😘🤗

Capri is turning into such a little trainer! So cute to see :)

To sum up the comment section; LET CAPRI KEEP LEFTY!!!

Your daughter is amazing, love her spirit to connect with birds.

Like Mother, like daughter. Both Awesome Pro trainers!!!

Quaker parrots can be very sweet and cuddly and also can be territorial around ‘their’ cages or even stands that they deem to be theirs. I have a female Quaker, named Chubbs. It took a while for her to become braver as she grew up her first year in a bird pet store. When I brought her home, she hid in the corner of her cage for about a month. She didn’t know how to step up because the pet store would pick her up to allow customers to interact with her. She also ‘aaaacked' a lot...the Quaker form of a scream. She had no interest in toys. Luckily she did have a good appetite and took right away to veggie mashes (I use the Circus Diet formula) and healthy pellets with some seed. She had been on an all seed diet. She has blossomed into a fully flighted brave bird who loves toys and her play stand and the freedom to sit and sun or take a short flight around my screened three season room or in our ‘bird room.’ She blows kisses, mimics my laugh, purrs, says good baby, and tries to say her name...in her own language...her aaack, aaaack, aaack is less as we try to replace it with uh-oh and kisses or a very exuberant goooood baaaaby!. I so much enjoyed this video. Kudos to Capri who is growing into such a lovely young girl and budding aviculturist! What a beautiful bond she is building with Lefty...truly sweet! And thank you to Bird Tricks for all of your wonderful content. Truly, you are my 'go to' resource that I can rely on for expert information...I’ve learned so much through your KZfaq videos. I look forward to watching Lefty’s training under Jamieleigh’s and Capri’s tutelage! And to grab some good hints to deal with the inevitable cage territorial trait that seems to be instinctive in Quakers. Oh, and those are forever memories for Capri and Lefty...that cherubic face of your child...priceless!

I would say Capri is so relaxed with all your birds, and Lefty is picking up on this. Most important Lefty trust Capri, and of course you and Dave. Looks like everyone is off to a really good start. Capri, you are such a great little helper with your mom and of course Lefty. Jamie, I hope you are feeling better soon. Thank you, really enjoyed the update.

Hi jamie.. Another nice insight with lefty... Capri really loves to get involve with lefty... I think touche is mommy bird... He loves to get your attention and speaks cute... Lefty behaviour change is because of you,dave and capri... Like mother ,daughter... You taught her nice manners... Its great for her future... As always your videos are best... Thank you for sharing....🙏👍😊

i’m so proud of capri for giving lefty a little bit of confidence, she’s learning from the very best of course though! I personally have no experience with either one of these species, so i’m looking forward to seeing their progress! best of luck from my flock to yours and the project birds!

Ahhh, the feels! What a heartwarming story for both of these rescue birds. Parenting done right for sure also :D!

Capri and Lefty forever. Capri is such a precious gift to our world.

Seems like capri and lefty have made a real connection. Reminds me so much of your connection with Morgan!

Even MORE proof Lefty chose his human!! 😭 Please don't send that bird back to where it came from!!! You even have an extra cage!!!! Your daughter proved she is trustworthy w/your guidance to have this bird. So proud of you two!!! 🤗

Kids are amazing. They know so much more and have so much more to offer than adults give them credit for.

I'm hoping that Capri can keep Lefty. They are so cute together

It's great that your daughter has the knowledge to work with the birds. Know you are so proud of her. Best part is the birds are coming out of their "shells". Looking forward to seeing how each bird "grows" with your training.

Just proves no animal is a lost cause. 16 yr old parrot deemed unadoptable yet your little girl can pick him up and hug him. Very touching...

There is a whole swarm of these beautiful birds sleeping in a big tree in front of our house! I love them, they freaked all the pigeons out, so they settled elsewhere! I'm from Germany and life near cologne. Some of them broke out of a zoo and they startet to spread some years ago across the Rhine region! Cute birds!

That's what Lefty needed was a companion. They look so cute together.

The bond between Capri and Leftie is so beautiful to watch. My granddaughter some years back had an amazing bond with my ringneck

Capri is cute! The Quaker loves her and I think she would love to keep him. My Ringneck does not like men but she loves me.

the apple does not fall far from the tree. Looks like Capri is right there in your footsteps. It's so sweet how Lefty and Capri can form that bond

Capri looks just like her daddy!! What a cutie! How could she possibly grow up in your house and NOT love birds? Impossible! I’m glad she’s gotten to feel what it’s like to be a birds special person. It’s pretty awesome! Enjoy!

I love the little sounds that Quakers make. It sounds like a cartoon character. Capri is already apro. She is such a little doll!

I think it awesome how your so involved in being a trainer etc., yet you still are a very involved mom and include your daughter and show her attention as well. Good job mom!

Way to go, Capri! It's so awesome to see kids step out and take initiative!

What an incredibly sweet video. I am so glad things are going so well with the new little guys. Them hanging out with Capri is really cute.

Your daughter is so so sweet with those birds what a wonderful way for her to enjoy birds up close I loved birds when I was little I finally got a cockatiel love her

Keep Lefty! They have a bond. So sweet!

I LOVED this video! It made my heart so big, and warm seeing Capri with Lefty, and Touché, and I do believe Lefty has chosen Capri, GREAT JOB Capri!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I loved watching Capri with Lefty. Please consider keeping Lefty for Capri.

aww! ❤❤ she so deserves to get Lefty. Then again Capri could help with so many more birds if she didn't...

Lefty was like I chose you little human

Nice to see you looking better, yes, you have to keep Lefty! Capri is his human for sure 💕

Way to go Capri!!!!

Capri is such a natural! Incredible!

There is a innocence in children that soothes animals

OH MY GOSH!! Your daughter is the best!

Lefty just loves Capri so much 🥰🥰🥰

This reminds me so much of our parrot and how she chose our little girl. My daughter would spend so much time with her, taking her outside for walks, playing with her. She was a little older than your daughter, maybe a couple of years older. Many years have gone by, and now my daughter is in her mid twenties. She lives four hours away. But, when she comes home to visit our parrot goes CRAZY! She's so excited and happy to see her. She also gets excited when she hears us skyping with my daughter. She loves us just fine, but clearly has a favorite. Thanks for the video.

Sounds like Capri has been chosen by her first bird!😉 I would love to see her be allowed to have Lefty designated as hers, as long as you are ok with that, of course. If she decides to make working with birds her life’s work, the bird world will be very lucky indeed. One day we will see her videos, breaking down bird behavior and helping bird parents all over the world. Capri, the bird whisperer!

Yes!! Lefty and Touche, that is adorable that your daughter got so close with Lefty

Your daughter with Lefty is the cutest thing.

Capri is so much more mature for age than most of the kids out there. She is going to end up being a vet or is going to follow her parents in the future by helping others with their birds. I really want a Quaker parrot, but they have recently been banned from Wisconsin. I hope, when we leave this hellish state, that we will be able to get one or two, or whoever needs to be rescued. That is including those adorable, Elmo sounding, loving Ringnecks!!

This is the sweetest thing I've ever seen. I just wanna squeeze em both up tight. I tried to tell people that kindness, sweetness, loving & caring relationship's still exist this day and time. It just may come at a bit of a surprise to some folks when it's in the form of a parrot & a 6yr old little girl but if you ask me it's just still more angels in disguise.

I love Quakers!

your Daughter seems to be a natural. such a cutie.

I guess this bird will stay with you forever :)

We rescued our cockatoo from a downright condemnable house a few months ago. He is the sweetest bird I’ve ever met. He will go to ANYBODY and very rarely bites (very lightly as a warning) love him to pieces and we have an unbreakable bond. Capri and lefty should be able to have that bond too!!

Capri will be the ultimate bird whisperer. 👍 well done Capri.

Oh they have so sweet little voices! ❤

Capri is so smart and she seems to have a gift. Oh an I love her name.

Capri and Lefty were made for each other. He needs his chosen person.

I hope you're aware just how completely amazing and awesome Capri is? Not only is she just 6 years old but she has taken on board so much of you're training etiquette and is thriving! Honestly, Im amazed how much respect and love she has for these birds...thanks so much for sharing. 😁😁😁

I'm so happy you did a Quaker parrot video. Rescuing a blue Quaker. Please keep making awesome videos!

Just beautiful seeing your daughter's precious gentleness as she handles birds! ❤

I know this is off topic for touche and lefty but I would love to see you and/or Dave work with a bird of prey and see the difference of how to work with a falcon, eagle or hawk vs one of your parrots.

I just love Quaker parrots, they’re so cute and funny 😊

I had a Quaker parrot I absolutely loved him,unfortunately when my daughter was born he was very interested in her eyes so I had to get did of him:( I miss him to this day!! You're daughter is really doing awesome!!

Awwww they are so happy! Especially Lefty!

I really learned to like this bird species because where i go to school here in Germany we have wild colonies of Quakers living there for about 50 years now. I love watching them through the window

My daughter is 7 and really wants to see more videos of your daughter playing with her new buddy

This actually made me cry a little. This reminds me so much of me and my Quaker. I was around the same age as your daughter when i had a bird.

Capri is going to be an amazing trainer in a few years!

Oh I loved this vlog! Capri is a natural with birds! You and Dave have done a great job of teaching her how to be respectful and kind to birds. You can clearly see the bond she has with Lefty. Capri is just a beautiful doll. Love her!

Awww this is the sweetest update ever!

Capri is amazing, and you've done a great job of teaching her.

That was beautiful, honest and real. Love Capri's growing relationship with Lefty, and your attitude to the process. Maybe take the fact that you've been sick as a positive that it freed Capri up to learn and engage with these guys. Perhaps it was meant to be. Glad you've got the support to allow this work to happen. All the best with the ongoing work with them, it seems very natural. Xx

What a huge, wonderful surprise that Lefty is doing so well. There’s always hope for “impossible “ birds. 🕊

i am THIS close to tears ugh this is so TOUCHING

Oh I just love Capri!!! She is so gentle and amazing with the birds. Give that girl a big hug and tell her she has a big fan :)

Why could she not have him for life ?! Hope he is well with his new family. ❤

Oh goodnes your daughter looks so happy with these bird it is so sweet

Great job Capri! ❤️

However good you are with the birds, I'm happy to see how good you are with your daughter. If I had walked in front of camera, the audience would have seen my mom blow a gasket and come after me! Instead, you involve her in what you're doing to the capacity that she's capable. And, having you and Dave to learn from, it sounds like she's becoming quite capable of not only helping you, but helping the birds also.

That little girl and that little bird have a very special bond, you better not break it :P

lefty, what a great name for a bird!

i recently bought a blue quaker and i must admit out of all the birds i have had and trained the quaker is the most lovable and cuddly

His feathers are already looking so much better! And when you said quarantine I was like wait when was this video lol 2020

Capri is a bird training prodigy!

Lefty is so cute and adorable. It makes me want to check out a quaker! And Capri is so cute with him. She isreally amazing with birds and she will always have that gift because of you guys! Happy New Year!
