*Wish that were me*

Mine is a brat and always wants cuddles

My girl hates all women, especially fat girls, and will attack if she gets a chance. I've seen her take blood from a pushy girl that got too close. She loves me, though.

Loves to cuddle, talks a lot. Naughty sometimes. Enjoys her quiet solitude in her cage. (bird house or bird condo)

Mines a mix of scarelet and green wing he is sometimes nasty and sometimes nice

I think for me it's the fact that they could put me in the grave a few fingers short that gets me.

@@rachaelbrughelli5873 good thing that's a myth :) look it up and who really lost a finger none and if there's a story there's no proof

@@tyslife1853 idk about scarlets but there are verified instances of a hyacinth macaws doing that level of damage to a zookeeper in a brief altercation

@@tyslife1853 I don’t have documented evidence but the guy who brought his parrot into the avien vet I worked for sure did. He’s a truck driver and takes his macaw on the road with him. A robber broke into the truck while the driver was at a truck stop and had to have several fingers amputated from the damage the driver’s macaw did to him. The owner brought in a clipping of the newspaper story published on the event to show the vet. I wish I’d grabbed a picture of the clipping but I didn’t ever think I’d need it

@@tyslife1853 I own a macaw and while he probably couldn’t put me in a grave, I have scars all up and down my arms from when I used to let him walk on me. So they can do some serious damage.

102 years old?

@@lightofeyezz yep if you take care of em well they can live really long

I mean, yes, but remember that you have to factor in the cost of the children that you will have to have to take this parrot on when you're dead.

Lol $4500 is very generous. I have 2 macaws, both would've cost me in total about $16,000+ Easily. I free fly both of mine outside every day and have a large outdoor aviary so im by no means budgeting - but giving them a good life is way more expensive than any dog.

I remember cockatoos were at every local pet store and went for $1200. I just spent $7500 on my umbrella cockatoo after searching for her for months.

@@therealpureessence2437 I disagree. I spend more on my dogs raw food diet then the entire cost of taking care of my umbrella cockatoo. And I also take her to a local aviary so she can free fly ( without worrying about a hawk interfering ), and her cage was $1500.

A French Bulldog is Priceless

Definitely plan to when those are available

Defnintely!

Glad it was helpful! They're amazing birds!

P.S: Bless your muda muda shirt in your merch store, you’re the first avian channel I’ve seen with weeb and *cultured* references, keep on taking over KZfaq man 💪💪💪 Cheers

Oh man I WANT to review a Hyacinth someday. Definitely working towards getting my hands on one. Video on mutations though, good idea! I'll look into it. Definitely will do more reacts down the road, seems most people enjoyed it! Right now breeding season has been in full swing so focusing on bird reviews for now but once things slow down again, will go back to other types of content. Glad you like the jojo shirt. It's my personal favorite, though most people like the star wars one.

@@Fivesaflock Yee when I saw Omar’s website and that Hyacinth banner and link, it was love at sight lol, hope that means they had one before 🤔 Mutations topic would be so cool, the thought came to me after seeing a few pictures of Lutino and silver blue winged macaws going around looking like a separate bird entity 💀 And I gotta cop that shirt sometime lol, it would be perfect for wearing to conventions once open :^) And making it to Omar’s in person is definitely on my bucket list also. >__> I visit LA regularly for AX (rip this year’s) and never knew the store existed before hearing from your videos - here in NJ and NYC, all the cool aviaries/stores are closed currently ;-; but at least we have bluejays and canadian geese just…fearlessly chilling in the city somehow

Definitely will. African Grays are definitely more than most people bargain for

if you do get an Indian Ringneck, get it from a breeder who hand fed & socialized them a lot. They're super awesome to have and sooo loving and cute, but I got mines from someone on Craigslist because they said she was kept in a cage the whole time they owned her. Come to find out, she was completely wild and not from any breeders. So we have a lot of trust/bonding to build, but she's getting used to us after a month or so❤

Yes definitely planning to! Love those birds!

my earlier reply must have glitched and doesnt seem to have stuck. If you are still looking for a bird in the midwest I would try Parrot Stars. they breed and hand wean the birds until they are ready to go home. they are on a pellet diet and are given a variety of fresh foods and sprouts each day. The store is huge on education and wants to make sure you understand the bird and its needs before they send you home with it. you can expect to spend and hour or longer on your visit to get a parrot as they walk you through things. they will help you pick out toys and a cage (if you need one if you already have one you will need proof via photo and size dimensions to make sure its adequate for that species.) they also make sure to send you home with the same diet the bird is eating so there are no issues with diet change. They offer support via phone or in store of you have questions, comments, concerns about anything related about parrots and their care. I called to inquire about a parrot they had and we talked for over a half hour about the bird and I never felt rushed or dissmissed. you can also call after you get a feathered friend if you need anything. they are a little pricey compared to other pet stores around, but they put a lot of work into their birds and it shows. I bought a white bellied caique from them about a month ago and i can tell that this bird was handled and worked with by how quickly he adapted and some skills he already had (like step up, its a little shaky but he is only 6 months old). I would say at if you are still looking for a feathered friend give this place a call to see if its something you are interested in supporting. They might not be Omar's but they do care a lot about their babies and are always willing to chat if you have questions.

Yeah they're great pets! Interact with one to see if it suits you.

@@Fivesaflock Alrighty, thanks! Its good to know that pretty much everyone agrees that they are sweethearts

Congrats on your new bird! Super excited for you!

That sounds awesome! How are things going by now? Is she flying?

@@corneliahanimann2173 Ara is getting stronger and stronger! She can fly outdoors if there’s some wind. Indoors she’s a dead weight, but she keeps spreading her wings and trying to fly. I’ve been doing lots of practice with her and she needs lots of encouragement. She gets tired very quickly while doing outdoor flights, so she can’t fly very long. I recently adopted her biological brother who obviously came from the same situation and also cannot fly. I’ve also recently learned their whole rescue story. They were in a rat filled garage for years trapped inside cages with 6 inches of poop. Because of that, they weren’t able to exercise their wings so they lost their ability to fly. Unfortunately due to the cold season, I cannot take them outdoors, but this Spring I plan on doing tons of outdoor flight practice!

I go to the Lake Forest one but any of them are great

I had one and they’re small but have the personality of a large parrot. Very energetic and needs supervision. They’re really cute and funny though and mine knew a lot of tricks. However mine was a girl so had a problem with laying eggs but that depends on the bird itself and it’s gender

Definitely planning on it. Have its cousin, the Moustache Parakeet, coming up within the next couple weeks!

Yea and I am currently searching for a parrot so would you recommend a Indian ringneck because on paper they look like the ideal parrots they come in great vibrant colors they can talk etc. But then when ppl get them they have bluffing stages and stuff.

not gonna hide it lol. big fan of his

@@Fivesaflock I'm also a big fan of his. Are you going to do a video on the green wing macaw? They're basically just a bigger scarlet macaw.

Yes, definitely planning on it!

Definitely will!

Macaws in general will make a ton of noise, if not loud.

@@Fivesaflock thanks. Just because i want to compare my situation with you. Du you live in apartment with that macaw, ore you own house? Ask because will my neighburs be angry at me? 🙂

I only borrowed this macaw for the review. If you live in an apartment, I would steer clear away from macaws

Blue Gold Macaws tend to be a bit more friendly generally, but that's not to say they can't be nippy. I would bump them up a score for handling compared to the Scarlet but a lot of my warnings with large parrots still apply. I would say your best bet however is to go to a breeder and interact with both. A parrot that chooses you will always be more friendly than gambling on a parrot you have no experience with.

Actually if you take care of your macaw right, they will become your friend or good pets

Who are you calling a lamp YOU BETTER TELL ME RIGHT NOW

NO BE MEAN ALLOWED 😡😡😡😡 OKAY

there is a nice store in the midwest if thats closer. its called Parrot Stars

Gotta forgive me if I say it weird. First generation and all, but I've lived in Socal all my life lol
