Changes to Oh, Flock! coming...

So as you guys know, I took on a baby camelot macaw I named Halo for a free flight client of mine. Because baby birds are all-consuming I did not have a chance to work with my own birds so much in "Oh Flock" episodes or get content for my Sunnyside episodes. So instead of my birds or featuring Sunny, I will be sharin...

Q&A Sept 2020

The answers to your questions while on the road...! 

Bean + Bondi Progression Together

I've been using my galah Bondi to help Bean along in some of his process. I feel like my flock members all have certain strengths and weaknesses that I'm able to utilize best with having them be teachers for project birds sometimes. This is one of those times! How do you think they're doing?! 

Behind the scenes: Marshall collab

Thought you guys would enjoy some behind the scenes photos from our time in Malad collaborating with Marshall’s Telemetry.

Bird of Prey Interview (Exclusive)

This is an interview I did just for patrons and literally uploaded the raw file so you guys could see us a bit "off camera" as well. To follow Daryl check out:

Tasty Tuesday (Birdie Bread mmm!)

Mmm... Tasty Tuesday is here and it's all about that loaf. 

Oh Flock! ep. 3 with Blueberry

Everything is cuter with Blueberry. 

New pin designs

What are your guys’ thoughts on the new Hymie pose? It was suggested by some of you to show him doing the “stick em up” instead of just sitting.

The other is of Bean with his glorious flower toy, haha. I truly love that one! Let me know what you guys think!! These are basic mock ups.

Storm pin update

What do you guys think of storm’s new coloration? Any changes or modifications you feel necessary to accurately show him and blue fronted amazons everywhere?

Bird of prey series

Hey guys! We are making a bird of prey video series in collaboration with Marshall’s radio telemetry and want to know what you guys want to know!

This is mostly in relation to what role birds of prey play in regards to the safety of parrots being outside, especially in free flight. But we are open to all avenues and ...

Sunnyside | Now all the birds want meds...

We had to give Sunny antibiotics for a bacterial infection so we hid it in almond butter. 

Bean Meets Bondi!

I know you all wanted Bean to meet Cressi, but Bondi is truly the better choice for a first bird to meet, and this video shows why! 

Sunnyside | Preening new feathers?

Keeping a close eye on this guy... and yes, that is a new toy I had designed for my new BirdTricks line of toys. My tags are my favorite part of the toy - they're veggie tanned leather pressed with my logo!! So just creates another element of the toy that is safe for the bird to play with. 

Check out my tags: ...

Bean's TERRIFIED of men... (including Dave)

We've got our work cut out for us on this issue. 

Oh Flock! Upside Down ep. 2

Such a lil' pro! 

BirdTricks Tuesday | Foundational Failures Series

Our series on BirdTricks Tuesday 2020 is focusing on 18 Foundational  Failures that lead to major problems! They may seem obvious, but they're  things we see ALL. THE. TIME. and finally felt the need to address in  this series!

Pin Design Updates

Touche's design is in a mock up phase, and it's soooo funny to me because she truly captured him being a torpedo! 

The others, though, are at their FINAL stage before being sent off to be created for real. I feel she nailed each and every one of them, especially their colors. What do you guys think? Which one is yo...

Sunnyside | Playing in the house...

Sunny is always taking everything in. 

Which platform do you prefer for Live Chats with us?

Not everyone is digging using Instagram for our live chats. Do you want to see a different platform used, and if so, which one? 

It's looking good!

We are getting closer! Next phase completed. 

Bean | Crate Training (First Session Ever)

In today's video I'm focusing on crate training while still giving you guys an update on how Bean is doing in my aviary as well as bathing progress! 

Sunny pins in the works!

So I got this initial rough draft from Hyper Finch of Sunny pins! She chose for him to be doing his "I want to step up on you!" pose because it was such a meaningful moment in his journey and a turning point for his and Dave's relationship. What do you guys think? 

Oh Flock! Upside down ep. 1

A fun new trick for Blue to the Berry! Have you taught this one to your bird?

Construction Update!!

The screen porch is DONE! Well, almost. The screen part is done... the painting and finishing is not. But the birds don't care, lol. I will have to move them out once that stuff happens but for now, they are enjoying it and it's awesome! 

The studio is coming along...! 

Sunnyside | Accepting petting?!

Sooooooo excited (but mostly honored)
