When Macaws ATTACK! Training Them NOT To | Tusa vs Jinx

I love that she is a trainer but is still so soft and loving. I don’t think I’d be as good at separating my emotions as she is. I’d have a hard time viewing jinx as cute after watching him attack. Scientists + trainers + loving pet owners make her and her husband so special.

You stay so calm with them. I freak out when just my cockatiel and sun conure go at it! Looking at this video, I definitely see why most people say 4 is better for the flock dynamic than 3. I've just started working with larger species, and I'll admit, I'm a bit intimidated. The largest bird I've worked with is a severe macaw, so seeing how confident you are with these massive birds amazes me. I really hope to meet your skill level one day.

The BT macaw looks mean, that's how my bird acts. She will turn on me so quickly. She cannot be trained apparently. Bird Tricks was at my house about 5 yrs ago in Titusville Fl and they couldn't train her. My darling is a hopeless case but I love her and she will have a home as long as I am alive. I usually take what I can get with her when she decides to be nice and lovable.

VERY cool to show this. I’ve been wondering about the dynamic of male McCaws together? My female double yellow headed Amazon and a neighbors parrot went after each other the second they saw each other. My parrot has been with other birds and there ere never issues. I don’t know the history of that old neighbor. This was 34 years ago. My bird was very young maybe a year old lad s at the time.

It was helpful to see you not panic when they went to the floor.

Im not sure if its Tusa or Comet but one of them look a little bit like a over sided sun conure
Edit: I think its comet

say wtf

My Senegal parrot and African Gray sometimes lunge at one another when the Senegal lands on the African Grays cage. At first I was worried that they would hurt one another but its all for show. If the Senegal feels threatened (or simply doesn’t want to deal with it anymore) she just flies back to her cage. The longer the Senegal and AG have lived with each other the more calm and collected they are when in each others space.

I'm not a bird person but I found your channel by watching birds talking... Then I stumbled on your channel. I enjoy watching. I understand why birds were biting me now.

Why does comet doing that

The macaws are absolutely beautiful! The blue/yellow one is more commonly known as the blue&gold macaw. (Pretty sure the blue&gold one is Jinx?) but I agree I would be quite worried about the four year old rewarding them too as they have very strong beaks and they can break a skull, so they can easily break a little kiddos finger.

Jamie has on a very loose dress. Is she?

Omg! The pictures of the circus just unlocked a childhood memory of watching you guys! I don’t even remember the birds, I just vividly remember Dave’s hair and little me being extremely impressed with how defined his eyes looked in the liner!

I’m impressed by your courage. You are unflapped by their size& scrapping

1 thing I do know in keeping birds in general is to keep them in pairs these bird wiol likely out live you so look at rehoming them if or when you get to old to care for them

This is hard to watch . I feel for you all .

I love macaws ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Thank you for your wonderful inspirational videos. Keep up the great work. What would you recommend I use as a reward treat for my blue and gold macaw? I am currently removing pellets from her diet and introducing more fruit and veg.. she is 3 years old.

I'm not quite 2 years older than my twin sisters and I'm feeling this relationship so hard. It's like myself and them when we were little, picking sides and picking on the other one.

Where do u get those perches?

Wow, this video really shows off how macaws express both their body and feather language...

Amazing! You definitely have lots of patience. She is really great with her birds!

Wow i was having so much anxiety for Jinx-y! I felt that way bcuz it was 2 against 1! I found myself skipping parts cuz i didnt wanna get upset or dislike any of the birds due to my own bias nd yet i no nothing of bird nd their body languages, how i was so interested to see you get thru this! Nd i kno u did a good job! U made huge progress for these 3 to finally b in the same bird space/circle1, w/one another once again! Perfect end to a start! Too bad Jinx cant have another partner! These birds behaviors are so hunan like but they arent afraid to confront nd stand their ground! Lots of love to the McCaws!

You're going to have to separate the brothers because they are more threatening together to Jinx and Jinx needs to see they aren't able to be together to gang up on him and feel threatened. Treats will not work to figure this issue out. It runs deeper than that. If you want peace between the three of them. Traveling they need to be all separate. I think this being an old video it may have already been done.

Comet is huge!...

I think Jinx might be a little bit bigger, however.

Also, how did Jinx, Comet & Tusa get their respective names, were you planning on breeding them & how, exactly can you tell the difference between Comet & Tusa?...

Tell your daughter great job on the rainbow 🌈 painting 👍

I have a green Quaker Winnie she tends to bite a lot but other times she is very nice. She was taught to talk and spin. I got her from Exotic Bird Pets Inc

She looks like a bird 🤣

I love watch you with your birds, you're so sweet and caring!

There is definitely some jealousy

What material are the cages?

What if one learns to mimic the clicker sound 😂

So now what...what do you do? What if the bird was doing the body language at you like that?

Omg! I just got a Macaw & I'm so scared. It's such a beautiful bird, but don't know what I got into. The owner was my moms friend .

As mothers and aging women we need calcium supplements

is there any videos of them at the circus etc

Those falls looked painful, especially Tusa falling on his back? How would you know if they get injured? I think I would worry too much!

the most impressive part of this video was explaining to the kid that her getting bit was likely and that it wouldn't be the birds fault or hers and the kid understanding lol

Wow! It looked like in the beginning, Jinx & Tousa would murder each other, or at least, traumatize their beaks. 😮 Wow!

Awww watching this after years. Hearing capri, so cute...let dad cop the bite. Good mommy. 🎉

I think you should’ve worked with one at a time of the two brothers to get along with the blue throated macaw..

"It'd be okay if they bit dad but not you" classic mother instincts 😂
