Parrot Free Flight Journey || Mikey The Macaw 

I’m jealous of those kids at that park! What a great community. That’s so absolutely wonderful what you’ve done for Mikey. Top notch pet care!!

The look of pride in his eyes when he lands❤️

Thank you for giving Mikey such a great life.

Doing yoga in the park: Sunddely, a wild Macaw appears! Also, great narration!!!

Im having tears of joy. This is how animals and especially birds should be treated. Thank you for being such great "parents" wish you all the best!

'He even had his own flock of children'😂😂

I'm so proud of him he's achieved so much I just wanna give him a cuddle. Well done again to all three of you x

I love watching Mikey’s progress, I fell in love with a blue & gold macaw called Casper age 3 and a half when we bought him from someone at our local pet shop in 2016. Such a beautiful bird in a cage all day was so sad and whilst it caused a few creeping sessions with my partner to let me get him, it was all worth it. The first 6 months were filled with temper tantrums from Casper and my arms looked like battle zones with bite bruises but it was all worth it! I was almost at my wits end, it was 4am and I was trying to get Casper in his cage for the night and he point blank refused, I slumped in my chair and started to cry not noticing that Casper had come to sit next to me until I heard the words”I Love You” I know we have a hard job ahead but we are macaw & human forever!

This makes me think of all the lost birds who could have come home if their owners taught them to fly :(

You must be extremely proud of how far Mikey come

Mikey is one happy and beautiful bird! ☺️💙💙💙

This should be a kids book! So sweet and happy!

Pretty bird, good life,very lucky bird to have you. I'm glad you guys take good care of him right, sadly it's not something you see very day

Wow! As hilarious as the narration voice is, this video moved me to tears! What a journey! I have a new baby African Grey that I intend on free-flying. I've free-flight trained birds like mynas and starlings, but this will be my first time free-flying a parrot. This video was amazing, eye-opening, and inspiring! SUBSCRIBED! BTW - I love MIKEY's name! LOL! #SpeedoGuy

Your devotion to Mikey is plain to see, you humans are awesome owners! It's so touching when you witness such amazing care like this that you provide Mikey with, he's a lucky bird to have a wonderful life with you both. Beautiful story! ❤️

Is it weird that I cried when he started doing his own free flights successfully 😭😭 because I did. He’s not even my bird but I’m so damn proud of him 😭❤️

This was very inspirational and well narrated!!! Fly Free Mikey!!!

Beautiful video! Well edited and so happy for Mikey. I would live to free fly my Indian Ringneck but so afraid to loose her. Mikey must be so happy.

I’m 41 weeks pregnant and entirely too emotional. This made me cry. So awesome. 😭💕 he is beautiful.

I know nothing about parrots nor have any plans of owning one. Still I watch every video of yours like my life depends on it. But seriously great job keep doing what you do

Beautiful! I would totally watch 1hr of mikey freeflying😂😂😂

This was one of the best videos I've ever seen. I teared up watching him fly with everyone.He is so smart and seems so happy. Great narrator. Cool story!

Yay Mikey!!! Congratulations!

Awwww, what a lovely macaw Mikey is. He's grown so much. May he be safe and happy in his free flight journey. :)

That narration is everything 😁 Mikey is very lucky to be able to live how he was meant to live, flying free😊

I'M CRYINB this is too beautiful As always mad jealous or everyone in the video haha :)

That made me so happy...crying tears of joy here! I am so happy for you and so happy for Mikey

This video is absouletly beautiful. After watching this video, there's tear of happenies in my eyes. So good to know that there's such warm-hearted person like you exists. Have a happy days with Mikey 🐦💕

This brought me to tears!!!!! I want this for my birds! SO BEAUTIFUL 😍😍

This just made my heart swell with love and pride!! Well Done on all the training! To see a bird that happy is something else. Just a joy to watch!

Congrats Mikey! Awesome video edit as well, Was captivated & could feel the emotion of every second of his journey. The love & care you provide Mikey is very apparent. You got a subscriber with this one.

This is amazing! ☺ You are amazing for making this possible for him and taking such good care of this gorgeous little creature. They are so beautiful when they are flying... I get teary-eyed every time I see them... So touching. So beautiful. Thanks for sharing this journey! Go Mikey! ☺

dude I LOVE THIS CHANNEL!!!! even though I would never own a macaw, I really really enjoy watching how devoted you guys are to your parrot

Amazing how much work you have done to make your bird happy. I admire your work.

We have a quaker parrot and your videos truly inspire us as parents. I just sat here cheering Mikey on like I was there. Your videos are truly a teaching tool. We are so happy for Mikey and we hope Mia is doing well too. Congratulations to you all for being blessed with 2 gorgeous Macaws that love you with their entire being. We have learned so much as birdie parents from your videos and appreciate you sharing your experience. ❤️

Awesome video! I'm really glad you made the longer version. Mikey looks so happy, and I hope you guys have decades to have fun together. Congratulations!

I am a vegan. And I never thought that bird keeping can be ethicaly correct. But this is amazing, and I think that this is the mindset that all animal lover should adopt. Not to own these beautiful creatures but to help them to live a happy and complete life. You are my heroes❤

What a hilarious narration . Well done Mikey i' m proud of you & the humans around u 😆😆😆😅😅😅😂😂 .Congrats to u guys it' s amazing as always. I almost cried of joy after watching this video . Keep it up , ❤❤ u all . Nimal & beautiful Claire u r just amazing guys 👍👍👍👌👌

I cried so hard when I saw his happy Mikey was on his first flight. It was really sweet to watch. I am so happy for you guys you are really awesome bird parents and Mikey is the cutest thing I ever saw. Mikey and Jinxy are my two favorite macaws.

Good job Mikey. I'm glad u did it and so happy for u and I'm glad that u did. Now u are hope for other macaws that had trouble getting into free flight. U did it and u earned every so gle moment.

That's one happy bird! Thank you for making him feel that way

I think Claire dances beautifully but Mikey really got the moves

I love your commentary and your love for Mikey. I wanted one but as a full time nursing student and working part time I would not be able to care for one like you do. I will enjoy from afar by watching your channel! Thank you for sharing! ❤️

Hi dear! This video was absolutely beautiful. Well done Mikey, and well done to you both for training and production! It’s videos like these that help people see what majestic creatures parrots really are; not just a pretty bird to sit in your living room as decor or bragging rights. Taking on a parrot (especially a Macaw!) is like committing to a child for the rest of your life, and it seriously warms my heart to see how hard you two have worked to give him the best and happiest life he could ever dream of. Seriously, hats off to you both!! One tiny thing I saw though, and I’m sure you know so please know I’m not trying to speak down to you-this I guess is mostly for people watching who don’t know much about bird law. Stroking or rubbing or petting a bird anywhere but his head and neck is an intimate act in bird language: only their mates touch them there (back, under wings, etc). It’s so hard to resist petting a bird from head to tail (especially with all their soft feathers!) but continually stroking or touching a bird anywhere other than his neck and head will lead to hormonal behavior...which not only sexually frustrates your bird emotionally but can then cause them to lash out and bite, become more territorial of the person who is petting them the most (who they now view as their partner), and be more difficult to handle in general. It’s a bad position for you to be in and it’s a bad position for your bird to be in. Obviously the last thing anyone would want to do is hurt their bird and cause them to feel frustrated in a way that can’t really be fixed! Like I said, I’m sure you guys are already fully aware of bird hormones and all the (sometimes weird, like blowing air in their face) sexual triggers that can cause a bird to become stimulated. I just saw in the video a couple times where Mikey was stroked head to tail in celebration and I wanted to point out to anyone watching that while I totally get the almost instinct to reach out and pet him as we are conditioned to do with dogs and cats, it’s a totally different meaning for the birbs! Keep on keepin on, I look forward to more videos!!

Narrator: Pick a flower if he wanted 😌 Me: that’s so wholesome 😂❤️

I wouldn't recommend Mikey to land on the floor. It's dangerous and if he's flying in a park Dogs can catch and maul him. My bird is not allowed to land on the ground outside during free fly. Other than that congratulations Mikey! ;)

Such a gorgeous, heart warming video! I teared up a little! I love birds so much and seeing how happy they are when they can free fly is priceless. So proud of Mikey! ❤

best macaw channel .i just did my first free fly in the garden .learnt alot from you guys .keep up the good work

So beautiful. Well done Mikey's people.

Awww Mikey i'm so proud of you and your humans 😉

This is beautiful to hearts, I can understand how happy you must be when he flew freely and that warms my heart, I have two wonderful cockatiels which I had for two years, one’s trained and the other was abused from other people which made him afraid of humans, but I am working on it!, but seeing Mikey here gave me some ideas on training my cockatiels so I give you my thanks.

I have tears of joy running down my face for Mikey! He is absolutely beautiful and is so lucky to have a mom and dad who love him so much! He is incredible!

Aw I love this video so adorable and cute

Oh god them flying over those fields made me so nervous. I can't tell you how many times I've seen a snake jump up and snatch a bird flying over a feild, I'm from the US in the south though so I don't know if this is as a big of a problem in other places.

Why does Mikey’s success make me so happy? Love how good you guys have helped him learn to be independent!

This is a wonderful video. Thank you for being so dedicated to him. He obviously loves you as you love him. ❤

I love BIRDS

I'm late. But I love this! Why would you clip your birds wings, when you can train your bird to this instead! 👍👍😭😭💗💗❤️❤️

I love this so much. I work in an outdoor place right next to a HUGE zoo that holds free-flight shows with their macaws in summer. They fly so far away from the zoo that we can see them fly all over our property all the time, and it's a beautiful sight!

Go Mighty Mikey! What an amazing personality. Love that he enjoys kids so much ... they have the energy to run and run! Very well done filming and narration. Keep on videoing and I'll keep on watching and sharing!

why am i crying

Ah here come the tears

Omg..I'm crying..you guys are amazing for what you have done for your beautiful bird. No bird should ever be caged. To see Mikey flying round free is truly an amazing thing.

Mikey's having the best life with you all

That is so awesome to watch! When I was in Bolivia, I saw whole flocks of Macaws come in to roost for the night (and scream us to sleep....) and they were so beautiful. It's wonderful that you decided to stay so dedicated.

Love this! Lots of hard work, training and learning with every flight! Fantastic owners, well done! 💕 Awesome content guys! Can’t wait to watch more of Mikey!

The video brought a tear to my eye while the kids were running with your bird. That's awesome to see some good things happening in the world. Keep it up my friend!!

Wonderful tale! So well narrated! Mickey has got himself some awesome humans there ( as you say!!) Freedom (hence free-flying) is what life is all about !

What an amazing achievement ..you both have gave your birds ... I was brought up with parrots all my childhood now in my 50s maybe one day I will return to my love of parrots once again ... thankyou for sharing your passion for your birds ...

Thank you for this amazing video. Watching this gave me a lot of joy. The dedication you show, teaching him to fly is awesome. Thank you for that. Until now I had no idea there are parrot free flight groups, that's how it should always be, clipping appears even more cruel after watching this. Keep on taking such great care, so others like I with less time and patience can still enjoy being a part of this without having a unhappy parrot at home.

I love all of your videos so much. My husband and I used to have a really negative view of bird owners. We imagined unhappy birds in cramped cages with clipped wings. I love birds and hope to have one someday and seeing your videos has helped both of us see that birds can be INCREDIBLY happy with their homes in captivity and has inspired me to the type of bird parent I want to be! Thanks for sharing your journey!

So good of you! You worked hard and kept at it. A labor of love!

this is the best thing i’ve seen in my entire life. i’m so proud of Mikey and you.

Wow, just wow. Best video I've ever seen on youtube. What a stunning, clever Parrot!!! So beautiful when they free-fly. Just amazing!!

Great to see Mikey out and enjoying a free flighted life style! Teaching him skills like this will set him up for life

This is amazing! He is sooooo happy ❤❤❤ love this! You guys did an amazing job and now other parrot trainers will see your videos and think oh darn they are experts just like u did in the beginning! 😂❤

I cried. Such a beautiful boy. And beautiful parents. Absolutely meant to fly. Gorgeous in flight. So brave. Thank you for doing this.

This video was beautifully made and done with such heartfelt enthusiasm. I love it. Thank you so much for sharing Mikey’s journey with us. I couldn’t help but feel so much pride for him and I kept saying out loud, “oh how cute! Look at him! He’s such a sweet boy.” And no one is in the room with me lol!

I loved this story. It was so heartwarming. Thank you for sharing and for loving him so much to let him have such a beautiful life.

I love what you’ve accomplished with Mikey and the great bond you have. There’s nothing like it when a Macaw bonds with their human. I cherish my Blue and Gold Macaw. Please be careful when birds of prey are near.

Wow this video made me so happy I cried. Thank you so much for sharing Mikeys journey, you two are such wonderful bird parents!!! Please keep posting videos we love to follow along your journey and support you. Lots of love from canada.

Why am I crying??! 😂😂😭😭 Mikey is so beautiful and your bond with him is absolutley amazing 💕

I wish I could give a thousand likes. What a beautiful, touching and inspirational video. I admire your commitment and humanity.

Absolutely wonderful job with Mickey and one of the best videos I’ve ever seen. Really really enjoyed it. Thank you 😁

Late to the comments here but I had to let you know how beautiful it was to see him fly. I could see a legit parrot smile on his face when he returned after his flights❣😍 from what I understand 4 1/2 months is a pretty darn good time frame, especially considering you had a few setbacks. Well done and way to be the best parrot friend/family you can!👏👏👏👏💯

I love how enthusiastic you are narrating this, love the video, wish you and Mikey the very best! 👍

Wow. Lots of love and hard work with Mikey's family and Mikey The Macaw for working diligently. Respect for all this love for Mikey The Macaw. 😁

nothing melts my heart than a free animal,doing what they are supposed to do. Fly high Mikey! you have great people taking great care of you.. Love from Philippines

Beautiful,you are one of the chilled people ever and the best macaw owners.im so happy for you and mikey.😁

Mikey is lucky to be with these owners. This video had me crying tears of happiness. Congrats Mikey and your wonderful owners❤❤❤❤

wonderful to see these beautiful birds flying around free cuz a bird MUST fly even in captivity. mikey is lucky to have such a good dad and mom. take good care of him!

I don’t even have words to explain how happy and proud I am for Mikey and the owners!!!!! Well done 👍 ❤️

That was beautiful! You must be very proud of Mikey and yourselves. He has the best life ever!

Now, this is how every bird owner should be. The Love they have for Mikey trumps over anything and everything. This is Absolutely Beautiful. 💛

Mickey is a Free Flighter, sounds like some cool warrior class... The video really showed how everything can be overcome even if it isn't the ideal situation, Mickey and his owner trained to fly when they have less than optimal conditions and they made it. It's the same with so many of us, we are all from less than optimal backgrounds yet we made it to where we were. Birds are truly such a unique gift, it's really the impossible made possible. Since we have so little information of them and their ability to fly with companions, we deem it impossible but there are so many of these free flighters out there in the world, and no one may know about them, but they are putting their all with their birds and reaching up to the skies. If you give your all, the impossible will be made possible. With much love...

Wow that was such a wonderful video and i had tears in my eyes beacause it was so beautiful to see how hard you worked for your bird so he can fly free in these Parks

This is phenomenal... all that hard work you put in certainly paid off, and you deserve every ounce of happiness that you bring each other

This is so wholesome and beautiful I love it. But you must have been so scared of Mikey flying off forever oh my, but I'm so glad you've been able to do this for him.

Your narration is top notch! haha. I have an 8 y/o female B&G that I rescued and it's obvious she was caged and never allowed to fly. I hope to change that very soon! We're working on target training and changing her diet now. Mikey is her inspiration!!

Congratulations little dude, you've done it! Stay a trooper and live a happy life.
