BirdTricks Tuesdays: Brought To You By Dave & Jamieleigh Womach!

Hey folks! It’s Dave and Jamieleigh here with exciting news from Bermuda. We are starting something new. We're going to email YOU once a week (every Tuesday) with updates about new happenings with us, our flock, the show, new training routines, the latest questions you guys are asking and even our daughter!

We will be answering at least one question in every video. So, leave a comment with your questions for us, or email them to us at info@birdtricks.com.

Leave a comment on this blog post with what you learned, insight obtained or a lesson learned. We will choose our favorite, and you will win a free product from the BirdTricks store! (In your comment feel free to state which product you’d like to have. That will give us a heads-up so we can give you something you will USE!)

If you want to request videos from us, want to see certain flock members, need help trouble-shooting through some training, want to see what a real training session looks like or just want some basic help getting started with training: comment and ask! Simple as that! We will try to get to them all and pair related questions together to bring you the most information possible.

If you have suggestions, concerns or ideas of what you think we should incorporate into our weekly Tuesday videos, tell us! We plan on trying this for about two months and keeping it if you guys like it. We'll ditching it if you don’t. So help us help you by telling us exactly what you want to know!

This week is our install week, we plan to film it all and share it next week with you…

Additionally, if you want see us live and in person, book your cruise on the Norwegian Dawn from now until November 22, 2015. We cruise through Boston-Bermuda, Boston-Quebec, Canada and New Orleans to the Western Caribbean with an amazing two week long relocation cruise in between! We LOVE doing one on one meet and greets with the birds and you if we know you’re on board with us.

Til next week!

A week ago I adopted a Congo African Grey 6 yrs. old & I already have a Timneh Africa Grey 16 yrs. old. Right now their cages are about a foot away from one another. What is the best way to introduce them to one another?? I haven’t been able to find any info about introducing parrots to one another online.

Can’t wait to learn more training and how to interact with my birds. I have several I am working with so all your expertise will be a great value to me. Thank you for having birdtrick.com and sharing your training

Thats great looking forward to all the videos. I need help myself, I have a blue fronted Amazon that has a continues scream and when he screams he bangs on the cage with his beek. I’ve tried so many things to keep him quiet by to no avail. How do I get the screaming out of him at times I feel I can turn his neck around (haha no really). Hope you can help me. Thanks

This is so exciting. The real deal, and yes the cruise life is great for the first 18 sec, then a reality check hits you and you wonder what ever made you decide this life in the first place. Besides you have proven that you are real down to earth, really nice people, who do get tired after a long days work and traveling with your daughter and birds… That’s another video on its own! Very happy and excited for you both. Looking forward to each and every Tuesday. Best to both, Jeremy

I have a green cheek conure that Ive had since November of 2011. We have a wonderful bond and she is very tame. I would love to teach her how to do tricks like playing dead or rolling over, but she won’t stay focused on me or the treat for more than a few seconds at a time then she’s off running around, chewing and climbing on things. Is there anything I can do to keep her more engage in training

Love your videos, cookbooks, DVDS, pellets..EVERYTHING. Question: Where would you start with a total ferrel bird that has never been socialized. I work a lot with rescued parrots, and I recently had a rescue case with a little African Ringneck female, 3 years old.. never been handled..had been kept in a walk in closed for 18 months due the the prior owners not being able to catch her….she came to me wild and afraid. I gave her a large cage, lots of toys, music all day and loads of attention.. I tried talking to her every day sitting by her cage reading to her, etc.. putting my hand just in her cage doorway to let her know I was OK..Nope.. totally wild.. Could not even get to her to eat in front of me, so giving treats or rewards or target training out of the question. I finally rehomed her to a great adoptive home where she could live in an outdoor aviary with many other ringneck. How would you have handled this? What to do with totally wild unsocialized scared birds?

How do you keep moths out of your food?

Hi, guys! I’ve got a kind of weird request and an even weirder reason for requesting it. See, I don’t own a bird. I’m 18, and in school to be an avian veterinary behaviorist (yikes, big title!), which is essentially a bird vet and trainer rolled up in one. I made that (rather specific) career choice, not through any sort of parrot experience, but through watching your YouTube videos and buying a ridiculous amount of Birdtricks training courses (somehow I’ve ended up with three Stop Screaming courses, through deals and all. Oops?). So, I’m super excited for this video series. I’ve burned through nearly everything you guys have to teach us, and when I finally have the accommodations for a parrot, it’ll be one well-behaved bird-brain. But I’m more excited to see stuff like how loud your birds are in the morning (three macaws and two cockatoos, yikes!), how much for you cook and freeze in one afternoon, how Sydney and the birds operate outside of two-minute flying clips. The little stuff that makes living with birds fun and such a ridiculous amount of work. Sorry, long response, but you guys are kind of my heroes :3 Maegan

hi… a beautiful tuesday to you guys. the first thing that comes to my mind when I think of what I learned from birdtricks is the importance of hygiene when it comes to my feathered friends health.

I’m concerned about free flying my blue & gold how to teach him how to know when he’s ready to be outside & free fly I’m really just worried about doing something wrong!!!(well everything actually) I’ve bought the majority of ur books so far & I read them & re read them. He’s only 10 months old & iveonly had him for 7.5 months. But I love u alls productions everything I’ve learned I’ve learned from you so thank you for everything.
