What to do if Your Parrot HATES Your SPOUSE! 

Don't give up y'all! My Macaw HATED my husband from day one, and two years later they are going amazing together! ~ I do a bulk of the training so I still have his 60% of the relationship but our Macaw just goes into full baby mode when he sees my hubby now, all content fluffs and baby head bobs, and we can both comfortably handle him at the same time too 😊 wonderful experience for all of us!

I actually had to laugh a bit when Dave approached her the first time and she looked at the target stick like: "Are you serious, dude?" xD Very expressive bird.

I have been WAITING for this video! I have the EXACT same thing happening with my MALE macaw towards my husband. I almost never get aggression taken out on me when he moves, but I do watch him just to be careful. More of these videos would be awesome if possible!!! I’m extremely grateful for this video! Thank you Jamie and Dave 😁

“Holy eye pin” and “Come at me bruh body language” made me actually cry laughing lol. Poor Jim just wants to be friends and I’ve definitely been there before. Wishing her parents the best!

Whoa. I don't think I have ever seen such aggro posturing from a macaw, as at 4:08 - 4:21. Not a shadow of a doubt that this bird meant business.

Oooh, hopefully the behavior will improve, and I sincerely believe with you and Dave it will. Thank you for sharing.

Awesome vlog, as always!! Hope everyone is doing well!! Have a nice day!!

Also with dried fruit they use sulfur to help preserve it most of the time and I am not sure how safe that is for birds.

at 9:21 the bird is like i gonna f you up like no other person did before

Love your page. I have some bird experience…but have learned some new techniques to help me ❤️

I'm going through some of this with my IRN. He isn't very interested in target training, will only bite me if I'm interacting with him, and anyone walks into his room & getting him to step up is proving to be a challenge- if he does he runs to my shoulder 😂 I've got a lot of videos to watch for help with this.

U r a great teacher brother Sister I like ur video training 👏💓❤️😍💖🕊️👍🐦💯😊😍💕

Lol my moms grey..liked to play suprise..might give you the hand be moved...might give you the hand to bite..and them greys have suprisingly strong bite for thier size

The problem here is they truly don't understand parrot type birds they have one mate at least most types do they have evolved over thousands of years a few training sessions cannot override that behavior they naturally defend their mate for survival it would be the same thing as training a married couple to accept other people in the relationship if they are committed that won't happen people just don't truly understand birds that's why they get rehomed so often you have accept the good with the bad OR DON'T GET A BIRD! it's that simple

160$ for a small table is crazy

I have 3 untamed budgies I would like to train 1 ,I tried to change thier diet but they would not even eat it , touch training does not work as the become scared tof the stick and are afraid to take treats (seeds) from my hand.

I find the video really sad as my husband and I bought a female galah two years ago and she hated him from the first interaction. She’s super calm for a galah, likes petting, is very interested in training but that is what happens only with me. She bites him every time he asks for a step up, like from the first day. She chases him, attacks from his back and that’s very sad for me as he never did anything bad to her. She can train with him a bit without stepping up and flying, she can allow to pet her neck, but that doesn’t help. I wish I understood her to know what exactly bothers her so much in him.

Can someone help me with a “leave it” command for my bird? He gets so angry when I take things away from him he’s not supposed to have (My phone for example, or a fluff of hair I don’t want him eating), and he shrieks and tries to bite. Should I only be using distractions to redirect the behaviour each time? Get him to step up?

I need a whole course on how to fix being the cue for heightened 🥲

Jim needs to tell her it's me or the bird and then if it's the bird she was never his in the first place.

Get rid of the spouse , simple .

If bird hates your SPOUSE. Time to take bird on dates to find a new SPOUSE the bird like!

A problem I have noticed with humans is that we tend to think excited is the same as happy. So heightened can look like excited to us and so we think the animal is happy.

When it comes to 'Macaw training' I get the feeling it's actually 'people training'.

That is one very pissed rainbow.

I've been following every video of yours pertaining to baby birds 🐥 and it's SO TRUE to start off with a SOLID foundation! It's simply AMAZING what a TINY baby bird can do in such a SHORT time! This week it's bath 🛁 time. I haven't found a video on that yet, but I will, thanks so much, Jamie! 😊✌️🐦

good vid but still wanna see more umbrella crazy cockatoo body posture

Have they tried having him feed and water each day.....?

This video was extremely helpful, I saw many similarities between this macaw and my own military macaw. Especially with the redirected aggression and frustration. Thank you

Thank you all again so much. I love what you guys do. ❤

This was a great episode full of info...
