Absolutely beautiful and he's teaching those children to respect those beautiful birds!! How I envy this man and his wonderful environment!! He's wonderful feeding those beautiful birds! Bless him and his children!!
I've seen a lot of stuff on YT but this guy and his family interacting with so many of these exotic birds in their habitat is one of the coolest things I've seen.
Senegals & macaws are over $2,000 AUD here & considered exotic aswell as conjures but they're a lot more affordable while I've heard the same for our lorikeet's & cockatoos over there. You can keep your bears & shit lol Crocs are the only thing we have to worry about when camping & that's pretty much exclusive to northern parts of Australia near water otherwise its just snakes, spiders & bogans that'll be your worst enemy.
@Sean Baytley the moment I read switchy stick I knew this was a joke... Like one of those reddit stories about a guy getting beaten with a belt by his father in every comment. After a while, it just made people guffaw when they came across that dude's comment. Lol.
@@peterbartley9155 Desmond's right lol. As an australian, we don't manage our wildlife very well. And you should know that.. And you call yourself Australian.. pfft. Don't make me laugh.
@Desmond Bagley Congratulations for telling like it really is. I have very little hope for wildlife worldwide, especially when you put a price tag on them. A species can be down to its very last survivor and man, even knowing that, will shoot them for the thrill or greed into extinction. There used to billions of Passenger Pigeons in the USA at the turn of the century. I read stories the flocks so large they would blacken the skies. So man went about slaughtering them by the thousands by simply shooting them out of the sky until the last one died in a city zoo in 1914. I saw stuffed examples of them at the Chicago Natural History Museum and I never realized how colorful they were compared to your typical gray pigeon. The buffalo went the same path and if not for some compassionate individuals that located a small surviving herd outside of Yellowstone, there would be no more. We Americans are famous for killing off our national icons. Then you have number one spoiled son, Don Trump Jr. who shoots and kills an endangered Mongolian Ram recently. The same fool that danced around a dead elephant he just killed with the cut off bloody tail of the poor animal in his hand. So what does his corrupt dad do? He invites the premier of Mongolia to the White House and soon thereafter the premier presents a certificate that allowed Trump Jr. to shoot this majestic creature. He wanted to hang its head in his sick trophy room. Old man Trump had already reversed the Obama era policy forbidding the importation of wildlife body parts and I wonder what he promised or threatened the Mongolian premier with in order to get his son his kill certificate. Sounds like the same shit he pulled on Ukraine, doesn't it? On top of that, Trump Jr. shot the Ram at night wearing night-vision goggles. That crime family has got to go.
I had a two dozen parakeets which I freed here in Camiguin, Philippines. My main purpose was to teach people the beauty of nature and why we need to conserve it. They always come back every afternoon to roost up in a mango tree for over a year or two. Yet kids always hunted them for God knows why with their slingshots. I managed to save 19 individuals, and put them inside a 20X20 M cage. From that day on whenever there are kids with slingshots running around my area I take my air powered shotgun and blast those MF with mongo beans. Then I lost faith and trust to a lot of people.
Lots of moments like this to remember, I think this is their home. It is not unusual to those living in bushland areas. Also in some suburban and city homes.
@@varuno7560 except that never works. The only reason another world war has yet to breakout is due to the benefit of our destructive nature. Destruction fuels everything that we have and do and that is why humanity remains at the top
If only, parrots should be at their own habitat but the world out there have cruel people who put nets over them and sell them abroad. But luckily there's rescues and people kind enough to home them safely, as in some countries there are predators that could hurt most parrots and also most end up in a country that don't have the right environments for them.
I thankfully grew up with tons of cats and birds so I always knew how to handle animals but young children don't understand this and it's a parent's responsibility to show them how to handle animals
Yes this is how God intended humans to live forever.. Sadly Adam and Eve sinned.. But Jehovah has promised to give us back the paradise that's why Jesus came to earth... Read Revelation Chapter 21.. JEHOVAH is the only true God and Jesus is His Son.
Doing nature education in the US, it always makes me so happy to see people teaching their kids about wildlife. What a cool relationship you have with these animals! The most I've ever managed to coax onto my hand was a tufted titmouse (one of the best bird names of all time, I must say), and I had to stick my arm out through a mostly-closed window so it wouldn't see the rest of me!
My kids used this to share with their class. now our kids are teaching all of their friends. got to stop my girls now with some species (we have tiger and king brown snakes here as well). Hope the eduction program is going well.
I live for it! Had a proud moment a week ago - had a gentleman hold a snake for the first time in his life. Not uncommon with kids at my programs, but, with adults, the fear is usually so ingrained that they won't do it. And, I know well enough that there are plenty of critters in Australia that you definitely don't want kids interacting with. We don't have king brown or tiger snakes or taipans in Missouri, and our venomous snakes are typically very mild-mannered and (unfortunately) increasingly rare. As far a snake safety, I tell everyone the same thing: If you spot one outside, just leave it be. Glad to hear your kids have got the spark and are sharing their knowledge and enthusiasm with others! It's always so rewarding to see that love of nature spread!
Seagulls quickly feel comfortable around humans. After going to feed seagulls just twice, they'd come to me to eat the bread right out of my hand. There'd be so many perching on my hands, shoulder, head that I'd get overwhelmed, even a bit frightened.
I have watched this video several times over years now and I always keep coming back to it. There’s something about it that just so nice. I don’t know what it is exactly it’s just a combination of all the beautiful birds and watching them come up and see, and the man sharing the wildlife with his children being such a great example. Thanks for sharing this video!!
Everyone thinks Australia is full of snakes and spiders, and that's it. The reality is you never see them and instead you just see millions of parrots like this. They're everywhere here.
Eobard Thawne facts but don’t let that turn you down! I see snakes and spiders all the time near me and idc. The snakes usually run away and so do spiders. Leave them alone and theyll leave you alone. If they don’t leave you alone, then u can attack them
I lost a 65 yr old African Grey parrot last year, we alway knew when she had to poop she would start saying water over and over so would bring her back to cage to poop
This is awesome. Visited Australia twice and just fell in love with the wild life. We enjoyed feeding the pelicans on Kangaroo Is, and took hundreds of pictures of the wild life. For all bird lovers, its a paradise 🥳💐🇨🇭👍
videos like these are why I'm happy I live in Australia. I live in the suburbs, though, so the cockies and lorikeets can't really come down to my garden. Maybe when I'm older I'll move somewhere like this :)
Why wait. I moved to a rural area in SA(one hours drive from Adelaide CBD) and it was the best thing I ever did. I live in a town with 400 people and thousands of birds. There's a cockatoo squawking in the front yard as I type this and Bluey the Galah is on my shoulder worrying my ear lobe (see my avatar).
Que lindo son felices .si hubieran más personas como ellos . que disfrutan darles de comer la niñas también son felices .ver tantas aves en su balcón .🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷 Besos desde Argentina
It's so nice & we do the same up here in Queensland with Cockatoo's, Rainbow Lorikeets & Pink & Grey Galahs plus more. People think how nice it that but there is a by product called "Birdy Poo" which requires a weekly (sometimes less) dose of water blaster on the patio. We have a timber house & the White Cockatoos have a tendency of nibbling the wood on corners & hand rails also. Anyone who feeds wild birds in volume know what I mean.
This is such a beautiful and powerful Way for your little girls having growing up together with these stunning Parrots 🦜. Knowing that parrots should be, wild and free. You don’t need a cage. You’re family can actually go outside and have a favorite one that comes to them freely These Parrots look so so healthy and happy! I very much enjoyed your video! And a bit jealous 😩. 😊 😁
Oh my god this is called nature The most that I loved about this video was there were so many beautiful 🦜 and cocktails and how can you make this type of voice wow
What kind of an insane human being would give this a thumbs down????? Maybe they were overwhelmed by the gorgeous imagery and their fingers just moved involuntarily.
This is fantastic... makes me remember as a kid feeding with hands to peacock, peahen and Indian ring parrots in Gujarat we used to go there in Summer. I try to feed few birds here in Melbourne, sadly city living, birds are little stressed and suspicious... I put water in a open pot (as my grand father used to do in Summer) and some seeds in balcony, not as rich visitors as you do.
I remember a few years ago near Alice Springs. I had decided to find shelter from the sun under a tree. A couple of cockatoos flew away, probably disturbed by me. A few minutes later, they came back with maybe fifty of their mates and believe me, they were not skittish at all. They made their point: that was their tree and they were not about to share it with a human
May God bless you and your family. Thank you so much for taking care of them and teaching your children to respect and love them! Keep up the good work!
We had an Yellow froundted Amaazon. from 1954 till 1976. We donated him to the Cotswold wildlife park that year as we were moving and the place we were movingto was too small. Pedro was 25 years old at that time. He lived at the park for the next 40 years of his life. We visited at least once a year from when we donated him. He was one of the stars of the park, He died 2016 due to an introduced parrot that was infected with a contagious infection. You. being able to hand feed them as you do must be one of the most priviledged honours that can happen. Well done
How I loved this video.. God made It all.. And the girls learning to be great since their youth.. It's Just amazing! Certainly subscribed and will share. Greettings from Brasil (With "s"!)👍🏻🌷
Wow, calling wild parrots and they fly in too feed from his hand. I had a similar experience 23 yrs ago at Pearl Harbor with these small doves eating bread from my hands while I petted their heads with my finger. Other tourists saw did same thing.
I have it the other way around. The sulphur cresteds are all over me and the King Parrots are shyer. It took a lot of blood for the cockies to get used to me. We get a lot of rainbows lorikeets as well. We don't have the wedgetails often but we get Brown Goshawks and Baza during the day and Powerful Owls at night. Keeps the birds on edge though.
We bought our hand raised cockatoo for a lot of money. She is our baby and super spoiled girl. I would love to have a backyard full of beautiful parrots as you do. Nature is amazing in your necks of the woods.
I used to do this with my family when we lived in Australia, though we mostly had rainbow lorikeets and sulphur-crested cockatoos. Started with 5 or 6 birds at first, ended up with 50+ coming regularly for a feed. All of them were super comfortable around people after a few weeks of working on it, no issues eating from our hands, they even let us pet them when we had a free arm. If we were outside, even without any seeds for them, some would come down on the veranda and hang out with us, sit on our shoulders and stuff. One of the things I miss most about living in Australia.
U r a great man,why ? do u know? Very simple u r a lover of animals ,birds ... definitely u too have great respect for others..u know the meaning of life....salute u bro... Stay blessed .
Qué hermoso lo que hacen estos padres...Es tan importante que los niños aprendan a respetar y a amar a nuestros vecinos peludos o plumíferos...La tierra es de todas/os...
