THAAAAANKS ASHLEY!! I can't wait to get started and improve my knowledge❤️

Mange tusind tak Jesper! Det bliver MEGA spændende :)

Thank you so much May! And for sticking around for so long :D

THANK UUUU SIS!! <3

Hiiiii! Sorry for the late answer, but I'll be glad to give my input :D Birds will generally have two to three hormonal periods a year mostly spanning through the spring and summer time and this is every single year from they are around 2-4 years old (depending on the individual). Hormonal behavior will almost always include some more aggressive or teritorial behavior, because the birds are wiered to build and protect a nest area. Pionus are thankfully more easy to read in regards to body language, so knowing when it's hormone season and really paying attention to their body language is the key to know when they are on edge or nesty and avoid a bite (By just leaving them alone). I have been bit by Charlie with no warnings however, so it is defffinatly possible and can hurt a lot. In regards to gender, I actually was looking to get a male to not worry about my bird being egg-bound (trying to lay an egg and not being able too). Now this is really just generally what I hear, but take it with a grain of salt as all birds are indivuals and their personality, training and bond has a lot to say, BUT, males do tend to be more vocal than females, aswell as displaying more aggressive behavior during hormone season in contrast to females that will usually be more nesty and territoral (and agrressive for that reason). Other than that I really don't think there is much of a difference, so I would go more for personality of the individual. Charlie was super outgoing and curious as a baby, which is why I chose her, and she has really been a joy, with egg laying and nesting never being a problem :) I hope that helped, and I'm so glad to read that you are doing reseach, let me know if you have any other questions :D

@stellaandcharlie Hi Stella! Thank you so very much for replying to my questions. You are so sweet and I enjoy your videos with Charlie. I wish you both a wonderful peaceful adventure! I appreciate you so much for taking the time to answer my questions. Hugs to you and Charlie! 🤗🤗🤗

@@MovingFelix-bs2bm hmm I don't know of anyone sadly, only that the breeder I got Charlie from sold his pairs to someone in Sweden. It's an old website, but here is where I found mine: Pionus.dk As mentioned he doesn't breed anymore, but you could try and contact the Swedish one in there :) GL!

@@stellaandcharlie Thank you so much😊

It is truly a love/hate realtionship, I totally get what you mean :) I guess I never thought about the ventilation since it’s never been an issue herr where it’s colder, but thanks for mentioning it so others are aware :D Overall tho, it’s better quality than the other backpacks I’ve seen and heard of.

Aw, thank you so much :D This is why I love making videos, and I'm glad it helped :)

Hmm I'm not sure, I would ask Birdtricks at [email protected], but I do know you can order som via Amazon (though maybe not the exact same). The only problem is that there is only space to apply one bowl in terms of holes in backpack to attach it, but it's not at all impossible to make another one with some DIY :D

@@stellaandcharlieThank you!😊👍🏻

Very! She loves to go on people's hands, and if not outside they are allowed to scritch her aswell. She is 3 years old :D

You can send it to [email protected]

I must admit I don't know a lot about eclectus parrots, but taking on any parrot during college is tough and a big commitment. I love and adore Charlie, but parrots are less than optimal when trying to study for an exam and they start to scream for attention... Really do consider everything and maybe find someone with eclectus knowledge that could maybe give better advice, cause I'm afraid I don't qualify :) But hey, best of luck with your studies! I really hope it's everything you wish for, and how cool that you got in, I know it can be quite tough many places, so very well done :D

Don't sweat it Jay, I'm happy you enjoy them :D Thank you so much for the feedback, it could be such an interesting topic aswell, so I will write it down for a future video no doubt :)

Awesome brands in terms of material and such, but at least for planet pleasure Charlie hasn't been interested in the toys I bought once, as in not at all unfortunately :( Northern parrots seem ok, but material wise they don't hit Charlies preferences that much, and I'm not a total fan since they still have some unsafe elements in some of the toys. But compared to most brands, they are absolutely fine :)

It does sound weird that he/she is still doesn't have the "white crown" at two years old. It could be a possibility that you have a hybrid of some sort, but I of course can't be sure just from description alone. Feel free to send a picture via the email on the channel, and I'll be glad to take a look :) Have a great day!

@@stellaandcharlie Hola. Gracias por constestarme Hay quien me ha dicho que lel plumaje definitivo es a los tres años. No se …….. Gracias

Cuuuuute <3

Not at all! It's pretty unheard of in Denmark that bigger birds get that close or would even atack, but I would be cautious if I lived somewhere else or was free flying in the middle of nowhere :)

@@stellaandcharlie it’s the same in the Netherlands, but all the crows walking around in the park still scare me like crazy😂😂 I guess I just have to get over it haha

Thank yooou! And what an interesting question. I haven't really heard of ticks being a problem for parrot owners, and I think as long as they don't play in tall grass when you are out you will be fine... As far as I can tell most of the ticks they get they do remove during preening, but can risk getting some on their head they can't remove themselves, but ticks aren't dangerous for them if it's only a few. I would never use cat or dog products on them, it sounds super toxic, but always ask a vet if in doubt :) Hope that helped, best of luck with your BH <3

Thanks!

Aw thank you so much Jay! And also for the good luck🍀 Means a lot :)

My mom is. My next video will be on setting up her vacation cage, aswell as going over everything else I prepare :)

Me too! It's so nice to see more birds getting to experience the outside world in a safe way, and I can't wait to try out free flying later down the line <3 No doubt all your posts and lovely vlogs as played a part aswell, but it always means a lot coming from you :D And YES Livestream! Hope you don't mind me stealing a bit ;)

@stellaandcharlie of course I don't mind. I saw someone else do it too 🤣

Thank yooou, I'm glad you enjoy them! Charlies is a size small, but feel free to try out a medium, since Pi's do have that awkward size where it can differ :)

So close right!!!

Go get those cookies Joe! :)

We happen to have some oh boy there yummy

Thank you for the tip! I also love that there is wood in your name... Tells me you are a valid source :)

You are too kind Sayu, thank you so much <3

Thank you so muuuuch <3

We ADORE BirdTricks ;)

What an amazing idea and way to satisfy her need for wood beads. And lol, not only does she demand you work fast, but I think I can guess who cleans up after her ;)

Thank you so much! All finger crossed, and love to Vancouver, such an amazing city :D
