OMG 50 years ago I a Blueberry twin, I did not know about recall but I was doing it. I could call him from different rooms in the house, he had a way to call me back, something looking like my name which my dad did hate at 5 a.m. :( One day IT happened, in a big city, I was sure to have lost him there were many trees around. After many attempts, I kind of gave up, then, my neighbor came to tell me that my bird was in her backward calling me!!! If you have a budgie practice recall. Nice job Jamie, I am so glad you have Blue back.

@columbusohioparkour 3 года назад

My partner recently accidentally let both of my cockatiels out while we were on vacation.I was instantly able to recall my male mid flight and put him back into the carrier. My female was so spooked she flew extremely high, I followed her from tree to tree for 3 days from sun up to sun down. She is recall trained and made multiple attempts to get back to me but unfortunately she got out during an extremely windy week. My poor baby is still gone, the group of free flyers I work with tell me to keep up hope and that birds are discovered to be found months after being lost but it’s pretty hard to keep hope. It’s been heartbreaking.

@columbusohioparkour 3 года назад

I have an aviary and we do flight training everyday, her food motivation was high. It was just a case where it didn’t matter how much I trained her, she didn’t have the skills to descend in wind.

@began8674 3 года назад

I got home from work one day and couldn’t find my budgie anywhere. Someone had come in and left his cage open and my bedroom door open. I didn’t know where he’d be or how long he was gone for I just saw a window open in the kitchen facing a thick forest/bush area and started looking there. For the next 2 days I went out there morning till dark looking for him with a speaker blaring budgie contact call noises. On the second evening I started hearing him replying to the speakers and managed to spot him 2 stories up a tree. We had a great bond (he was probably starving too) so when he spotted me he instantly tried to fly down and got swept to the neighbours yard. This happened 3 times till eventually he landed in a tree I could actually climb. Im terrified of heights but I did it to get my little guy. Every single day from the next day I’ve done at least a couple minutes of recall and upping the difficulty of flight training (descending, ascending, turning corners, boomerangs, everything I can think of) also have built an aviary so he can get some wind practice. This all should of happened long ago before the accident, I’m ALWAYS so incredibly careful but I have learnt when you live with other people it doesn’t matter how careful you are anything can happen. Glad your little blue is safe. It’s so scary, I was literally balling my eyes out searching for him in the bush.

@wildog47 3 года назад

My green cheek was the best thing that could have ever happened. Such a perfect bird. We are still working on recall. He doesn't fly as much as I'd like him to and tends to walk everywhere. He was clipped when I got him almost 2 years ago. And he still is nervous to fly as much.

@wildog47 3 года назад

@@FeatheredFlock so I live in an apartment so he can't really fly outside directly. He has charged the door but he would have to make it through 3 doors (our house door, the staircase door and the door to outside) to make it outside flying. He cannot be on the floor because I have cats and a crawling baby. So he needs to fly from perch to perch instead of walk. He's making really good progress through. He's a bit stubborn and set in his ways.

About ten years ago I got a call from a friend who rescued a "yellow" bird in the park and wanted to give it to me, since I had parakeets. I was expecting to see a canary, but it was a parakeet. He had the cutest personality, and I miss him. He passed away last year. But, I often thought of his previous owners and how devastated they must have been when he flew off.

@isabellevasko362 3 года назад

I was gutted when I lost my young budgie bertie, he managed like blueberry to squeeze through a small cracked window, sadly I had only had him a month and I've never seen him again. I still have two budgies, and have never let anything happen to them from the lesson learned. I'll never stop hoping bertie somehow landed somewhere safe, despite all my efforts to find him- and that someone else had the joy of his company

A great lesson for all of us really! And shows a lot of care and concern on Capri’s part!

@VietCakes 3 года назад

What did she say about wing clipped?

@juliusroman8616 3 года назад

@@VietCakes It's much better to teach a bird to fly because it has the skills to come back. If you clip a bird and it gets outside, it can still fly with a gust of wind. If you don't clip your bird, you teach it to fly to your hand, on command, on the first call of its name, which is recall, if you desensitize it to the outdoors by harness training them, if you teach it to descend and ascend from great heights, and to curve, it would be so much easier, less stressful, and more likely for you to get your bird back.

My quaker escaped and flew into a tree. I couldn't recall her and she ended outside overnight. The next day a neighbor was driving by and stopped her car when her little boy saw her. She hopped right in and went home with them. They took her home and put her in a hamster cage and called the ASPCA to report her missing. I called them to see if she had been found and low and behold she had. You are complaining about 4 hours and I was worried about 36 hours. Love your videos! What a great handler your daughter is becoming.

I had the same thing happen with my Quaker, Bubba. Flew right over my head and out the door. I posted on Facebook & I was extremely lucky. He flew 8 miles south and landed on a high schooler who fell in love with him but was honest enough when he saw the post to bring him back. I feel so grateful.

@Ashley.Michell22 3 года назад

If it wasnt for you guys and stressing recall I'd never have gotten my bird back the first time, he stayed in a tree for litterally 24 hours we couldn't find him until I heard his flock call and used it to to flow him he did what Blueberry did by flying by me. I wanted to cry! But then he was starved and decided mommy's hand and millet was a lot better. The second time was all my fault I walked out the door and didnt know he was on my shoulder but I got him within 20 minutes that time, it was dusk and he got scared by our barn cat so he flew right to me. Now we call SCUTTLE IS OUT! before we open the door, my mom makes sure I got eyes on him or hes with me before she opens the door and I always cage him before I go out the door just to be sure. And I agree it's the worst minutes of your life! I wasnt even that worried when my dogs get out of the yard haha

@paulsnell534 3 года назад

Firstly most importantly I am glad your Budgie Blueberry is safe again . The videos with Blueberry have made me think I can have a pet in my first floor one bedroom flat. Thank you for showing this video because it now has made something to consider with making my first floor one bed flat, bird friendly. My flat when I bought it had the doors between living room, front door and kitchen taken out to create more space by the previous owners and I never replaced them I am going to have to find a solution to create a quick but solid barrier so my pet bird. If get one does not fly out when I answer the door. I really would like a pet and I don't think it is fair to keep a cat or a dog cooped up in a flat for 10-11 hours in a day while I go to work I also don't want a fish tank I want a pet I can interact with too. But then I saw your videos and a few of other peoples and saw Budgies are really cool fun and interactive little pets and I thought. That might be the perfect pet for me. So I am doing my research first. While doing it I am going to implement as much as I can into my flat to make it not only space saving still but bird friendly. This might take years. But at least if you plan to have a pet companion you can spend years enjoying researching how to care for them and what safe environment they need first. I won't rush into this but thank you again for all your videos I love them :)

That happened to me last week, my 8 month old Quaker parrot got out, we live on a lake in Florida with some huge cypress trees, well Poncho decided to fly to the tallest tree about 80 foot up. I was amazed at how fast that little shit could fly but also scared, the lake we live on is a bird sanctuary and is inhabited by Osprey Hawks, Kite Hawks, Red Tail Hawks, and Bald Eagles. All I could think about is one of those Hawks seeing this little parrot as a quick meal. Thank god we have been working on recall training, he's not very responsive to verbal commands but does respond to a police whistle, I blew the whistle and he flew towards me but landed on our house roof about 10 feet away, and then he said "I'm a pretty boy" and starts laughing. My girlfriend grab some millet from the house and when Poncho saw that he flew right to her arm. That was scary but a good learning curve of how important it is to train your birds in recalling them. These Quaker parrots are incredibly smart, Poncho followed our Border Collie through the doggy door to stretch his wings....

This was an eye opener. I have a budgie; I’m getting a cockatiel soon. I self tamed my budgie and I did a little recall training at the start but I stopped and didn’t think much of it. I’m going to start again definitely as well as with my future cockatiel too.

Awwww, Blueberry is so adorable. Sweet how she kisses you and comes back when called. I'm glad you got her back when she escaped.

Glad she is safe now. Training is the best route to go. Thanks for your knowledge on birds.

I LOST A COCKATIEL 20 YEARS AGO BROKE MY HEART

@birdbrain3594 3 года назад

After having an incident where my Goffin flew off and was lost for 40 minutes- I definitely understand that it felt like eternity! 🤯I'm so grateful for all my family and friends that were willing to help, but thankfully my mom heard Cheeky's blender noises. She somehow got to the middle of a bush and was so terrified she just hid. I got a lot of nasty fear bites digging her out of the bush. Working on recall and desensitization training, but man does Cheeky bite first and ask questions later during hormone season. 😬😭 The comment of when vs if your bird gets out terrifys me. I'm the worst trainer, both my birds won't listen. 😫💔

That feeling of panic just manages to override everything else.... *way-too-familiar sick feeling* 😱 I’m glad that you not only got her back, but that you have an amazing support system around you. ❤️👨‍👩‍👧

Had parakeets most of my life. Never had one make it outside but this is so true on training your birds like this. My current bird is a rescued ringneck dove. I discovered her in a hotel parking lot. I wasn't familiar with doves but she seemed like a pet rather then a wild bird. We had parakeets that would come when called so I thought why not try. I snapped my finger and heald them out and she came straight to me out of a tree. We had a parakeet we were traveling with so my mom went and got his food to give her as she was attacking my mouth for food. After eatting she flew away and disappeared. Next day I decided if I saw her again I would take her. She was with a flock of sparrows when I came out and they flew away but she went to a brick wall. She saw me walking to her and I heald out my hand and she came straight to me again. She happily went inside with me. No one reported her missing so ten years later she is happy and healthy after traveling back and forth from AL to NY countless times and has done a bit of camping in a tent. I don't know who taught her to come when called but it saved her life.

That must of been frightening. It happened to me and I never told anyone. My Lovebird Sprinkles got out. It was terrifying. I always here that you should stay calm, not me as I was hysterical, I couldn't help it. He flew out the door and I ran out and was calling him and hoping he did not go far. I ran back in to get millet spray. I called him and he came back and landed on my head and then I had a meltdown. So many things went through my head in the few minutes that he was out. So yes it can happen to anyone and I am extra cautious and it still happened. Glad I could share my story, I feel better now.

So glad you shared your experience. We found our lost conure, and your download really helped. Vantage point and listening for calls got us our conure back; we heard the native birds hassling him, but he was completely silent. He flew to the outdoor rescue budgie cage, and stepped up for me. Training to the rescue....phew!

Nothing to be embarrassed! It just make u like all of us! Thanks for sharing❤

My cockatiel got out a month ago. I kept so calm it seemed like I wanted it to happen. Everyone thought I didn't wanna get him back because of how I was acting. It's because I have bad anxiety and I have panic attacks If I started crying or freaking out I would literally have a bad Panic attack. Then I wouldn't be able to help look for him. He was gone 3-4 days. The day after he got out someone found him a few blocks down hiding in a tree. Then On the 3rd day we found a Facebook post of him someone found him! So we went and got him the next morning

When I was young I had a budeie that got out and up in a tree. Thankfully he was terrified of the leaves and did not move. Some year ago I took in a budgie that was found outside and we never found the owner.

Also, i think its cool how you shared this event with us @BirdTricks. :)

@jessicaalmquist5450 3 года назад

So, so, so glad she’s safe! Whew! I can only imagine how terrified you were! In a crisis, my husband is usually the logical one, so I’m glad Dave was there!

@sampanyofella5832 3 года назад

We had a similar (but no where near extreme) situation a few months back, my blue budgie Sydney escaped her cage and flew to an open window, (it was one of the ones that opens horizontally) and she hung upside down off the window frame, frozen, after around 30 seconds she flew back into our house, because of a sudden gust.

Clipped wings would not stop a budgie from flying away-I know this personally. I feel your stress Jamie!! Clever Blueberry is the chihuahua of birds-thinks she is as-big-as the other birds!😂😂😂.

@katmarrs7054 3 года назад

I'm so glad Blueberry is ok. Again, this is why I love your channel so much. You don't pretend you are perfect and you help people learn from your personal experiences. And the wing clipping thing is so true. I know someone who just lost a parrotlet that way, he flew into the yard, wings clipped, and a hawk swooped down and grabbed him.

@Deathwhisper2 3 года назад

Yikes. Sadly I've experienced an escaped bird who also was budgie. I live in an apartment block on 12th storey so when I got down there was no trace of the bird =( and yeah when you get panicked you get so much adrenaline everything seems like in slow-motion. Stress affects your time prespective greatly.

@ghost5520 3 года назад

Oh my gosh good thing my bird is trained now 😬

@alisonbaribeau8654 3 года назад

You are so blessed that she is an amazing bird... And you are a fantastic trainer to all birds.

@clayfinity5501 3 года назад

Glad you could get her back... I have been having nightmares about losing my birds this way for years. Having built trust and having a good relationship with your cheeky little flier sure makes the difference. Phew
