No judgment should be passed on people who come face to face with the reality of having to rehome their birds. Bean has been legally surrendered to Ronie's For the Love of Birds Parrot Rescue. You can apply to adopt Bean off their website once I'm done working with him here: roniesloveofbirds.com/adoption
Don't forget to support your local bird rescues! Your time is the best donation to these birds, as well as making them fresh, healthy food to eat or sending them toys to chew on. It doesn't always have to be a financial donation - you can even consider being a foster parront!
Thank you to my patrons over at Patreon for making it possible for me to take on Bean and other project birds:

Hey guys! So this video seems to be getting a lot of new traction recently and I wanted to jump on here and address a few things. I can see that there are many people who are seeing this video for the first time and are only getting a tiny portion of the picture with Bean. This video is the first of a two part series of his first day with me. Part two is here - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7JsIr7Q6Xi4.html. There is also a reaction video that I filmed responding to the concerns viewers had and some negative reactions. I believe this video will help many of you viewing this video for the first time understand this process with Bean much better. Here is the link to the reaction video - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Dy90V8lpi2M.html. Bean's journey is not complete in just one video - this is one of twenty videos that were filmed. His transformation was so amazing and had such a happy ending that I decided to share this complete series over from our Patreon Channel so that more people could be inspired by his story. While the complete series is still in the process of being released, the happy ending video is here already and I would encourage anyone with concerns to check this out as well. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6wBpCHuSckk.html

It was good to watch this and see that there wasn’t anything wrong with what we did as every bird is so different ❤️ good job on what you doing.

It seems fairly obvious to me that someone who is paying cancer bills might not have the money or the time or the energy to feed this parrot a fresh varied diet. And a lot of people stick to "feeds" because they aren't certain of their pets dietary requirements. That said, we all got our hang ups. I imagine her dying friend doesn't mind.

Thirty years ago I was given a Congo grey that was afraid of everyone. I think the defining moment in him gaining trust in me was when I started sleeping on my floor in front of his cage. I don’t know. He would look down at me puzzled. I think it gave him confidence that if I was willing to sleep in his presence that I was trusting him. It took a lot of patience and a lot of faith. In time he was happy around me, willing to step up and come to me. I never got him to trust anyone else though. He was not nearly as fearful as Bean seemed to be.

For the first day I'll leave him in a cage with his own normal food and toys, and without much disturbance. Oh, and I'd let him watch some Spongebob so he feels all the stuff he knows and loves is not gone forever. Tomorrow would be another day, I wouldn't push too much interactions and new experiences in his current state.

A couple of problems with this: 1. She took away the birds sense of security by removing the top of the cage and forcing it to bond 2. She took its food away generally you’re supposed to mix the birds bad food with the good food and eventually it will convert to eating only good food but she just took away its old food and put in new food causing stress 3. She could have played spongebob music or something to help calm it down

I was very disappointed that she ignored all of the safety net he felt comfortable with. First of all, she’s a stranger. She drags the carriage. She takes away the usual food he’s accustomed to. Everyone walks around the bird all strangers to the bird who had a history of developing a trust in one single owner. Then she proceeded to take the top off. I mean everything wrong she did really. She ignores all of the poor birds reaction. Unbelievable really… Birds in general are pretty timid animal. But any prey animal even a cat and dog would react like that. Very disappointing…

@@countycitybeach the food wasn't healthy for a parrot's main diet, so it had to be changed. Often times things like trying to entertain the bird, like singing or watching tv, can overstimulate them and scare them when they are in a new situation. Sometimes its best to get them calm and quiet first before trying to make them happy and excited with stimulants. Either way he's going to be super nervous, so any way you go at it, as long as its patient would be okay :)

@@alicet5123 The point would be to make fewer changes right at the top and on top of all the other, very frightening, changes that have already happened. I would definitely change out that food (yuck!) but only after the bird was eating comfortably and over a period of time, anything from a day to months, depending on the bird's reaction to new foods. Some birds will literally starve to death if they're offered only food they don't recognize. Also, eating some of the foods in front of the bird and offering to share can make a real difference once they've begun to accept you. This guy is is gorgeous condition, not fat, not thin, great feathers, so a few more days or even weeks of his old food isn't going to immediately kill him. Right now he's just terrified and probably grieving the loss of his old life. My heart is just breaking for him. It seems like he's really landed on his feet with this new interim home, though, so I have hopes for him recovering and becoming happy again.

@madeleine61509
@madeleine61509 4 года назад
@@DogInatutu This video is objectively bad. If you don't understand how, then you probably haven't had birds, so I'll explain. This video goes against all of the basic fundamentals of what you should and shouldn't do when rehoming a bird, as well as changing their diet. - If you're going to be changing diet, you SLOWLY incorporate SMALL amounts of the new food. Not just throwing out the old and only giving the new. Plus, this bird's diet was already relatively healthy. The original owner apparently gave it fresh fruit and veg, so why not just lower the pre-mix amount and make the diet chop-focused. - If you are given a list of "comforts", you use them. In this case it was Spongebob and music. Even just the lady snapping her fingers got the bird doing happy vocalisations, so why were neither used to comfort and calm the bird?? If the Spongebob music is familiar, it doesn't matter if it's loud or not (within reason... deafening volumes obviously wouldn't be pleasant no matter the subject matter). The fact that you don't understand that shows that you really have no clue what you're talking about. - A bird in a new, unfamiliar environment should be left to acclimate on its own. You shouldn't be there staring it down constantly, circling the cage like a predator, and you DEFINITELY should not forcibly remove them by taking the cage apart and removing the only "safe place" the bird had, and only FORTY MINUTES after it got there. Why was this woman in such a rush to force the bird out of its comfort zone? - This bird got there less than an hour before, it was seemingly never left alone and there was at one point 3 people all surrounding its cage within a foot, staring it down. Hell, I get nervous when my own family do that to me at the dinner table, let alone a bunch of strangers that are like 20x my size and who the bird cannot communicate with. - If you are given direct advice on what sort of people the bird likes or dislikes (men, women, kids), try to listen to that, especially until the bird becomes acclimated to the environment. The original owner specifically said the bird didn't like kids, yet this person's child is there sticking their fingers in the cage and everything. It doesn't take an "animal expert" to recognise these very basic problems with what she is doing. Just like it doesn't take a child psychologist to realise that you shouldn't beat your child or shouldn't starve your child, this is absolute basic stuff which anyone who has had a bird knows. Not everyone with more experience than you is a fake "internet expert". Do I think she's absolutely clueless? No, but do I think she completely dropped the ball this video and it's borderline dangerous to have this video up which people might eventually use as an example for how to rehome birds? Yes, and the fact that she likely knows better actually makes this video worse in my eyes. TL;DR: You are just blatantly wrong. There are a TON of problems with this video.

I've been watching this channel for a couple years, of course some disagreement here and there, everyone has what they think is the "best" for the bird. But seriously this bird is freaked out and you're letting your daughter hang out with her face to the cage and everyone walking circles like its being stalked. Should have told your daughter to back off, how do you think that isn't freaking the bird out? I was surprised you just let it happen. I understand eventually it will need to be used to kids and other people, but jeeze the first few minutes in a new environment shouldn't be spinning its head trying to keep up with more than one person (potential threat) circling the carrier. Then you don't even wait an hour and take the top off, forcing him. I generally understand the reasons you do things but I just don't get any of this - its counter intuitive to trust with the bird.

You only get one chance to make a good first impression. This is the first BirdTricks video I've ever watched, and it will be my last. What an appalling way to treat both birb and prior owner. I can't imagine subjecting a new critter to a bright light with no safe space and multiple new people hovering. Nor would I change food instantly. A week or two of transition, even if the old diet was awful, is so much less stressful. She had that light and the camera, but ... I have a perch around here somewhere, she says. I think you are fortunate you didn't get bit and the bird didn't injure itself in that panicked flight. I certainly hope your "friend" never watched this. I don't understand why you didn't edit your rude comments out. You can talk about diet later in a calm way. A happy ending doesn't justify a bad beginning. Smh...

Where is his cage? He could use something familiar, even his old food. Put him someplace quiet and in the corner where he can settle in slowly and not be so overwhelmed. I think your moving too fast. I use Maslow's Hierarchy of needs when working with both people and animals that are faced with radical change. Please look it up. There is a simple pyramid illustration that will show you how it works. The first level(the base) of the pyramid is basic needs. He's not eating, drinking ect...That needs to be first. Even if it means fudging on your principles abit(like using familiar food) you need to go to where he is at and move forward at his pace from there. This bird has been with the same family all his life. You said he doesn't like children yet your daughter has been hanging close to him. I'm trying not to sound to critical, but my heart goes out to him and can see his fear. He is so far less developed socially than any of your birds and he's been living in a home in crisis for quite awhile....He needs a chance to destress.

Taking away the food he's been eating for years all at once is too much, gently removing it and integrating new food with old until he was acclimated to what she would have liked to give him is preferable. Having several people in the room with a bird in a new environment will stress them out and they will pluck their feathers. You absolutely do not take away their security of a cage or carrier.

I was surprised to hear you speak so rudely given the situation. If my friend made a video like this after me trusting her with my pet knowing I might not last much longer....well I would be really truly hurt. It’s not about the food needing to change I agree, with that. it’s the judgmental tone.

Agreed. She was also moving fast and reaching over him so quickly, and having her daughter so close to the pet taxi... might have covered the back half.. but she also did SO MUCH right. And I LOVE this girl SO MUCH. I also don’t think she meant disrespect by talking about the past owners choices like she did. It’s likely they were feeding budget food because of mounting medical bills. Sometimes you have to make those choices. Sometimes my kids have had to eat ramen noodles... so yeah. This isn’t any kid of shame to this lady here. She’s doing a wonderful and selfless thing and I thank her for that. My comments are so that someone may learn something. I’m guessing that’s partially why she uploaded this too maybe.

What the hell happened in this video? You went against all of the basic advice (for example, to slowly introduce new foods, rather than completely removing the old and replacing it with new), you basically went through a checklist of "how can I make this bird LESS comfortable and MORE terrified? What did the owner say I could do to calm him down? Music and Spongebob? Well, let me make certain I never incorporate either of those." Even the most basic things: you should leave the bird alone to become acclimated to the environment and then come out of the cage on their own terms. Unless it's an absolute emergency (e.g. vet visit), you should never force the bird out of the cage. It's almost dangerous that you upload this video with an air of authority and confidence in what you are doing, because absolutely everything in this is a solid checklist of what not to do when rehoming a bird.

This just broke my heart for so many reasons. I am sending thoughts, prayers, and positive energy out to Laura and her family; dear, sweet, beautiful Bean; and to you as you work with him to get him ready for his next loving home. I don't usually comment on videos, but I am making an exception here since you asked for suggestions; and he reminds me of my own African grey parrot, Chiana. First, I have to say that after watching so many of your videos over the years, that this one has left me more than a little surprised, stunned and shocked. Your advice and understanding of the personalities of various birds has always been outstanding! First, thank you for the very wise and eloquent advice in the first sentence of the comments section, "No judgment should be passed on people who come face to face with the reality of having to rehome their birds." I wish you could have followed that advice yourself before you made such caustic comments about the quality of the food your friend has been feeding Bean. I beg you, please take this video down and edit out everything you said about his food. I just keep thinking how I would feel, if I were Laura and I watched this video. My suggestions for Bean, please leave him in his crate or cage if you have one for him and let him come out on his own, once he gets used to you and his new surroundings. Give him the food he is used to until he feels more at home with you, and then after a while do a slow transition from his old food to your preferred food. Give him cheese! Or try carrots or grapes. A little is not going to hurt him and it will let you quickly build up currency in his "trust bank." The best vets that I have ever used always said that the best advice when it came to food was that the owner should buy what they can best afford. Finally, music, songs, especially SpongeBob. Finally, thank you for taking this on! It is so important that parrots are well socialized as they will often out live their original owner and will have to go live with a new flock.

He needs a quiet room. Place his cage next to an easy chair where you like to sit. Move slowly and speak softly around him. Give him the food he’s used to for two weeks or longer. Gradually/slowly introduce him to new food. Do not expect much from him for a long while. It took my bird two months to finally warm up to me. He’s gonna be very scared at first. You are new to him as are his surroundings. You are going to have to learn how to “become a bird.” And, he is desperately trying to know how to “become and understand his new human.” Do not force him. Be slow, quiet and gentle around him. Patience is of the essence and foremost. Good luck to you both.🐥❤️

Our African Gray LOVES cheese. He also likes grapes, corn chips, various crackers, and nuts of a few types. We adopted him several years ago, and he and I will never see eye to eye. The last two times he's gotten close enough, he tried to rip skin off. We think a man didn't treat him right at some point. He and my wife get on ok, and she handles him some, when she can. She's dealing with some pretty significant health issues, so it's not as much as it should be. I just found Bean #2 randomly, and had to see the start. I'm looking forward to this.

She was telling her things that the bird might like or be able to relate to and she did none of those things.
