My grandma had a beautiful cocktail and his wings were never was trimmed/cut she used to let him out and fly around the house all the time, one day the cocktail was flying and he hit the window pretty hard my grandma took him to the vet and he couldn’t fly ever again, His wings were broken so I agree with what ur saying

5:12 Just pointing out that this method does not ALWAYS work. My lovebird in the beginning flew away from me and didn't bite so I don't know about lovebirds but for birds like my macaw or ringneck parakeet, this only made biting worse. Parrots are very social and playful so sometimes if you give them any sort of reaction (whether it is good or bad) they will most likely continue to bite. Since birds are very different than humans they do not really understand our body language. All they see is that when they bite they get a reaction or attention which parrots like. The best way to stop them from biting is just to not react at all. They will see that biting won't give them anything out of it and they should stop.

I've had 2 birds fly out the door so fast and with the door open just a little for a few seconds. They can be very sneaky and incredibly fast. 1 I managed to get back, the other was gone forever and probably died, it was very upsetting. So people should always think safety first and not be so quick to judge those that choose to clip a few flight feathers to make sure their birds are safe.

Henlo its me again, im happy to see the bird again, And also for those who want to cut the feathers, dont cut off the small feathers, blood will come out.

It's not cutting his wings, it's just trimming his wings, just bcoz they dnt get lost outside and harm himself 😊

I was reluctant of this issue at the begining when I saw your first video. But now I agree with you because you really show in a very good manner that you neither hurt her nor made her not fly at all. Agree that you did the best for her in order to do not get in danger good job my friend.

He kisses his lovebirds so much I bet he does the same with his girlfriend

It's ok to trim the feathers but should be at the right place

Why you shouldn't cut your birds wings: - "but it keeps your bird safe from flying into things in the house!" This is true! Your bird wont fly into walls or windows. Instead, they will fall off of surfaces and crash into the ground. I know somebody whose clipped bird died after falling off of their cage and hitting the ground so hard that it actually burst his skull open. Extremely morbid and traumatizing. - "but it keeps them safe from flying out and escaping!" nope! clipped birds, when gusts of wind blow, can actually still get in the air. so if there is any amount of wind, your bird will fly off into the sky. the only difference is that when there is no wind, your bird will not be able to fly; In other words, if the wind drops and your bird is somewhere vulnerable, like the ground- then your rainbow parrot just became a rainbow snack for cats, dogs, snakes, and birds of prey. in general, a clipped bird stands no chance against a predator. you are over 3x more likely to recover an escaped bird who is not clipped than one who is clipped. - "but it helps me keep them safe from household dangers!" modify your lifestyle to accommodate your bird, dont modify your bird to accommodate your lifestyle. YOU are the one who chose to bring home a wild, non-domesticated, exotic pet. if you cannot care for it properly, find somebody who can. if you want an animal that does not fly, choose literally any animal except for a bird. - "but it helps them bond!" for some birds, this is true. for other birds, it makes the bonding process worse. for those that do bond better when clipped, this is from something called "learned helplessness." in other words, the bird is helpless, so even if it doesnt trust you, or even hates you, it has to rely on you to help it. It doesnt love you or want your attention. you hurt it. it just needs you to survive. like an abused child sticking around their abusive parent. if you need to deprive your bird of flight to make it spend time with you, something is wrong. - "It's just like a hair cut! they grow back!" not always. usually, they do, but not always. even when they do, the damage is usually already done. clipped birds can develop all sorts of physical health issues, including but not limitted to obesity, heart disease, etc. due to their lack of mobility, and therefore lack of exercise. they also will almost always develop muscle atrophy in their wings. muscle atrophy occurs when muscles arent being used and begin to degrade. same this as if you break your leg, youll need physical therapy to use it again after it heals. 6-12 months of not using your wings causes the muscles to atrophy. on top of this, clipped birds are more prone to anxious and depressive disorders including plucking and self-mutualation. basically, what you are doing when you clip your birds wings is like cutting off your dogs back legs. yes, it keeps them from running away, running into furniture, and maybe it will make them depend on you more. but youre changing their lives, and their mobility, and causing them to suffer in a way that a regular dog wont. if you cant handle a dog, dont get a dog- and if you can handle a bird, dont get a bird. there are plenty of pets that do not fly. choose one of those.

I am a big lovebird fan! I really like your videos and agree with your training methods. Very informative and entertaining watching you and Loki! What fun!

Just got a pair of lovebirds that were unwanted - not kept birds before so happy I’ve found your channel

A lot of times people have to cut their birds feathers. They fly into walls and hit their heads on ceilings and windows get up in places and never come down and many other things. For these reasons and a few more it may be necessary to clip a birds wings. My bird is a 2 month old bird right now. I have opted not to clip it's wings, but it is a terrible flyer which could result in it's death if I let it out of the cage, therefore until my bird is tame I can not let it out. This could make a bird really sad if their cage is too small in which case clipping it's wings is important, the taming process also takes longer with un-clipped wings, you can always teach your bird to fly later in it's life so clipping it's wings is not anywhere near as bad as you think it is and by doing so you may prevent your bird from scarying itself, because, yes they do that when they fly into mirrors and walls and ceilings and assume you're the one who hit them making your already poor relationship deteriorate. So all in all a totality of circumstances is more important when deciding whether to clip a birds wings and the choice you ultimately make can drastically affect your birds health if you don't clip it's wings because you "feel Bad" about it. With all this in mind and based on what he says in this video I hope it allows you to understand just how dangerous it can be for these babies in a normal household with unclipped wings. LOL the bird is mad at him now haha he made it jump off that's why LOL

I so enjoy how much you love Loki!

OMYY...this is so wholesome to watch.I like your channel

I do have a few words to say on this. If you clip your bird, they can still fly with a gust of wind. The problem here is, if you clip your bird, he has no control over his flight. If he lands in a tree or is sent miles away from home, he can't survive out in the wild if he can't fly properly. He'll be an easy meal for hawks. If you do flight train your bird, he'll be happier and he'll have the tools to come back to you if he lands in a tree. In fact, here's a video on a budgie who escaped. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bcipdZmU1Jq5c4E.html Your lovebird doesn't and probably shouldn't be flight trained for going outside, but inside he'll be so much happier to fly around your house and he'll be healthier since he's exercising. It's not rocket science to train your bird how to fly, but it does take patience. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m7yVdtuSp63LdHU.html Once you train him to step up, you can train him to jump. And once he jumps, you can slowly increase that distance over the course of 2-5 minute training sessions every day. And then you can teach him other things, like recall training-teaching him to fly to you on command or on the first call. You teach him how to fly so he has to curve a bit. And then curve more. Do the same with ascent and descent flying-increase the angle. That's really helpful to teach him how to get out of a tree.

Dude. the bird KNOWS. He/She flew straight into the cage when she saw the scissors

I live in a custom house with at least 30 feet of space I do not have an attic. You can see the supports in the roof. If I were to get a bird, should I let it free fly in the living room because there is at least 30 feet space and plenty of railings and stones on my lava rock chimney for it to grip on to. Although my parents are not sure though

Love to see your lovebird... cool color....

The wings are the equivalent of their arms. If you cut the wings is like cutting a person's arms. They will die. To have the feathers trimmed is different. There are many tutorials in KZfaq that show the correct way. If not done properly it can be harmful or dangerous for the bird. The feathers should be properly trimmed to limit his ability to fly. Some feathers are essential for the bird to glide safely and not fatally plummet to the ground. These feathers should never be trimmed.

Wonderful knowledge and care of bird good work

I just bought mine three months ago, and thanks god the breeder had cut the wings. I’m office hours person, but when in home i just need to open the cage. Will follow me everywhere in the house.

Take him with you and rush B 😁 hahaha Thanks for sharing with us this informations

My birds love flying sooooo much that it breaks my heart even to think of taking this from them. Our second bird (a lovebird) didn't know how to fly on the first day he came but now he knows and it is his everything. He is not the most tamed bird; never bites but hardly comes to hand. But even to be closer to him, I couldn't do that to him. Plus, he would hate me

Thanks for the video, i liked verry much, you give much love to your birds, i can see that.

What about using a self-adhesive mosquito net for windows?

Cutting a birds feathers is not abuse they grow back amd its a safety thing too cause they can hurt their or kill them selves

u professional bird youtuber !!!!

Hahah your so awesome with little Birdy I have one but she is so terrified of me always bite me lol 😣😆 Take care stay safe & keep it Gucci LiT!!! 🔥😍🔥 Love from Australia 😊✨

I had to watch all the videos about clipping wings and read all comments. So far, ur video has convinced that, yea.. we bought these babies from breeders and anticipate the moment it would be tame in our hands, yet it fly high and sit on my curtain reel everytime. It only comes down for meal. I dont like putting it in cage yet there was one time it got hit with fan. I forgot it was up there. Lucky nothing happened. And my first bird flew away and got lost perhaps. Never return home. I was devastated, cried for days and was worried sick cuz it was still feeding on syringe. After all the consideration, i think its best to clip its wings and not chain it or cage it. And the fact that it wont be able fly high, would keep me chill not getting worked out about what might happen, at least until it is tamed right😉.

Others: kissing their lovebird Me: kissing my lovebird My lovebird: fly away.😭 Me: kissing my other Lovebird My other lovebird: bite me Me: nooohhh ooouuuch Me:🩸🤕

its so true that its people's decision! People has there own life,meaning their life,their choice. Even if they did it wrong LET THEM REGRET IT

Thank you for this info, now I’m ready to cut my lovebirds wings and feel safe

Same i do this with my love bird, i have 2 lovebird 1 can easily tame but 1 cant so i decided to trim his wings but he got lot of depression 😢, i feeling very bad. How long he get his wings grow back

Waiting for next you video. Cmon my Moldavian friend

Ilie de ce vorbești în engleză Eu vreau clipuri în română

Mine just flied away today so you doing the right thing until they get used to you

How do you manage its pooping. I hear now thay have diapers for birds.

Hey my friend your debate is pretty good.My mother got a baby parrot after 2 yrs he was proper trained bird once was taking a free fly one eagle took his one eye out.Well that bird gave 3 to 4 eggs from then my mom cut feathers out.

So cutting their feathers 🪶 is like cutting their hair? But what changes does it have on their flight? And do you recommend any more videos on training birds?😊❤❤

I timed my lovebirds wings because he was flying into the walls i probably won’t trim them again after they grow back now that he’s older. I let my lovebirds fly freely

How long will it take to regrow new wings. Please tell me because my friend has given me a pair of love birds and their wings are clipped i'm waiting for them to fly in my aviary❤

I have this kind green Fischer lovebird. He did potty moment to moment so i cant out him from cage to free in my home's here and there.

8 month lovebirds I have they always scare and not friend with me what I need to do they eat and when I go near they go inside nest what I need to do ? Please guide me

My avian vet has banned the expression “Cutting wings” that sounds horrible: Shortening the length of few feathers is better. I never cut my son's arms, just shortened his nails... However, my cats could catch my lovebird if i did that... Love to see him fly over.

Thank you for your advice I have the same species of birds the girls name is nova and boys name is fluffy

Hi there, I really like the cage you have for your bird, what’s the brand for it?

Sincer nu vroiam sa las comentariu nici de data asta,dar...urmaream vlogurile tale la 12,1 de noapte fiindca ziua eram la munca si nu imi parea rau de timpul care era pentru somn sa-l dedic urmarindute...chiar am crezut in ceea ce ai inceput sa faci insa ceea ce faci acum poate nu e mai rau dar cred ca te indeparteaza de moldoveni iar eu credeam ca e ceea ce vrei...sper ca citesti asta si iti mai aduci aminte de comenturile mele anterioare...Pana cand nu dau nici o apreciere...nici nu ma dezabonez,mai sper la o revenire!Sanatate!

You could always get screens for your windows..as I did for our lovebird. (my wife and I)..Who I've trained to talk bit and do some tricks....she's such a darling little creature and we love her so much...she makes our life complete.

I LOVE UR VIDEOS!!!

5:35 -5:38😂😂😂😂😂was hilarious. Mama fed up of y’all making everything a problem. Hey I talk to my bird like he a whole baby and he lovessss it 😍😍😍😍

Not gonna lie, this is a good point. I am so against cutting feathers, but this would be correct. I would say in this case you should cut his wings, as it shouldn’t kill him, but him getting out will. This is a good point.

Cool video bro just bought one today

I’m jealous , whenever I try to hold my lovebird he turns into a monster lol

BIG BRAAIN PLAYS BRO

Hey. I had budgies now I have got my love birds. Is it safe to trim their flying wings? I am afraid if they get sick.

I m romanian too🙂 Ai o pasare foarte draguta❤❤❤

Mersi mult pt videouri,idei superbe ai,am un love bird (lam luat de ziua filului meu scriu de pe contul lui),si urmaresc toate ideile tale cum sa o tame si sa ii castig increderea,la inceput ne musca rau,foloseam manusi de gradina ,acum nu mai.musca,da inca nu vrea sa urce pe deget,inca incercam,dar cand o scot din cusca inca fuge si tipa

The third one 3:40 LMAO

You have to cut the wing for it to get trained . It just makes sence , by the way I love all your video's, SUPER HELPFUL👌

My bad you are Romanian... your lovely so sweet thanku for your videos I love them ❤

Good job!

What u will feed her and what u will give pls tell me

its easy to clip love birds wings cos my love birds love it when I trim eemm and i thougth birds love flying 😂😂😂 and when I do they just lift thier wings up as if I'm going to trim emm 😂😂😂 I want them to fly

It's everyone's choice, except the birds..lol.

Very useful video I am going to try it to my yellow African parrots

Buna. Recent am luat 2 agapornisi, si nu stiu cum sa ma imprietensc cu ei… am incercat sa le acord timp si rabdare dar niciun pas inainte..

Just got my 2 birdies and was thinking about should I clipp their wings or not?!

It's not a problem cutting the feathers of a bird cause it does not hurt

Good advice…. :)

Bratan,fa daily vloguri in romina!!!Please!!

Buna,ma numesc David Vancea si sunt din Corunca Tg.Mures.Am cumparat doi amorezi de la AniMax pe 6 mai 2022.De atunci tot incerc sa ii imblanzesc(sa imi stea pe deget,sa imi stea pe umar)dar nu pot.Cred ca in trecut au avut o trauma sau ceva...Am incercat toate sfaturile tale dar pur si simplu sunt prea speriati...I-am si tinut fortat in mana dupa mult timp in speranta ca isi vor da seama ca ii iubim...Dar fara niciun rezultat...Ai alta idee? Multumesc...

i agree with you bro no harm done

NICE BIRD

Do u still have the parot? is still alive?

I want to teach my bird to free fly! :D

I too have 2 bird One is pretty old one n is trained my other one we bought new and the old one hates it coz it wants all that attention 😂

i have my two budgies for two months should i clipp their wings?

Any time I try to suggest to cut my bird's wings so it's easy to train, my parents just scream at me because they think I'm going to cut it's wings off. Then when I tell them to 'google it' (the classic rebuttal) they tell me google lies. It's hard to tame a bird.. and it's REALLY HARD to tame a bird that flies away when you go near it.

what happens if you had that kind of bird and a bite

I have four birds my budgie named sky started bleeding from their cere because he started flying like crazy and he crashed in wall and started bleeding he isn't even tamed

Salutari din Romania !

My lovebirds wont leave its nest What should i do?

I cut my birds wings because I don't want her to fly around the house I don't want one of my dogs to get her

eu am o problema cu cei doi agapornis ai mei. nu vor sa se apropie in niciun fel de mine. daca ma apropi de cusca lor ei se duc intr-un cuib facut de tata. au oua acolo si nu stiu daca mai am o sansa sa me imprietenesc cu ei. au un an si 4 luni

Iliusha eu înțeleg ft bine intențiile tale, însă din punctul meu de vedere KZfaq-ul nu funcționează chiar așa cum pare, gândește-te ca la un business in care mai bine sa îți găsești nișa și sa fii cel mai bun pe ea, decât sa te bagi pe o nisa mare, dar care are ft mulți concurenți de mii de ori mai buni ca tine, spre exemplu, dacat ai vinde pixuri cel mai probabil nu vei avea loc pe piața, dar dacă ai vinde pixuri cu lumina fluorescentă ai avea mai multe șanse (e doar un exemplu din pod, nu-l lua ca atare 😅). Așa e și pe KZfaq, ai început cu niște daily vlog-uri, care după cum ai observat au adunat destul de multe vizualizări in ultima perioada, gândește-te ce ai putea îmbunătăți la ele, cum ai putea atrage o audiență noua (de ex. dacă vrei sa targetezi piața românească, la care sunt sigur ca ai mai multe șanse, încearcă sa elimini rusizmele și sa vorbești mai coerent, nu ma refer sa vorbești pur românește, fiindcă oamenii apreciază ceea ce vorbești, nu cum vorbești atât timp cât ești relevant in ceea ce spui). Dacă ai vrut atât de mult sa treci la limba engleză, in care și singur știi bine ca ai foarte mult de lucrat, mai bine făceai un al doilea canal și îl recomandai audienței de aici, delimitând clar ce contenit filmezi aici și ce content filmezi acolo. Eu nici într-un caz nu vreau să-ți spun ce sa faci, considera spusele mele ca o critica constructiva fiindcă ar fi păcat sa pierzi munca ta de câțiva ani pe canalul asta, dar ma rog, decizia îți aparține, so it’s up to you which path do you wanna choose😉 wish you good luck!!!

Agree ❤️

He just like me love bird!

I agree with you

I am very sad to cut my love birds wings

Thank you. I just trimmed my baby love board wings. I have her for 4 weeks now. She was flying into walls and mirror I trimmed it today when she bit me I said aw aw lol she stopped 🐦 👍🏾

But if we will open the cage to train him so it will fly

Nice

I took care of lovebirds whenever I visited my grandparents.. am sure you can tell the gender by the color on top of their beak.. if its blue its boy if its pale then its female... your bird has pale color. Please correct me if am wrong

Urdu samjty oh ap muj kuch puchna hai k mai jab hath mi fisher ko feed krwati hun tw ye khtny ka krta hai lkn khttna nh hai

OK!!!👌👍

Yes ok it's good for us to cut their wings because they don't gonna fly away hitting themselves...but birds need to be free and fly whenever they want!

pro tip:trim your bird's wings first and train him and when his wings grow he is flight trained

08:01 Lovebird: get off you freak!!!

My grandma had a beautiful "COCKTAIL" ?? what was she drinking Cocktail is a alcohol mixed drink, a cockatiel is an Australia parrot which one did she keep in a cage??

I wanna train my lovebird too
