- This time I last left off with Bean
and trying to coax him to fly to me.
How many of you think he did it
and how many of you think he did not?
I hope are you guys are participating in leaving your votes
in the comments from the last video.
But let me show you what happened.
Doing it. Come on, Bean.
Come on.
Lost him.
Jump, jump.
I know.
Good job.
Good boy.
(upbeat music)
It's recording.
I wonder if I could do it like this and it would work.
- [Capree] So that's what she is doing with it.
And there's Bean.
I'm going to get a few close-ups on you.
- A little scared?
It's okay.
- [Capree] Don't want to make him too scared.
- Nope, he's too scared.
All right, good with this one.
We're good with that one.
Maybe we can encourage him to climb down to this one.
How close can you come to this one?
- [Capree] Can I just set it up?
- You can sit down if that makes it easier to film.
- [Capree] No, I'm not sitting.
Is there a way to get it to point up?
- That was kind of aggressive.
- [Capree] In the camera, I couldn't tell.
- [Jamieleigh] Come on.
- [Capree] Come on, Bean, you can do it.
Come on, Bean.
- [Jamieleigh] What if I up what you're getting as a reward?
- [Capree] You should see-
- A really big piece.
- [Capree] You should see how good he is eating fresh food.
Probably should have used that (indistinct) on the tree.
- [Jamieleigh] Well, I don't know if he's quite ready
for that yet, he's pretty scared.
What do you think?
Can you do it?
I'm going to use treats.
These are hefty treats.
Not messing around.
Hefty treats.
- [Capree] No, he doesn't want to.
- I think he'll do it.
Oh, I didn't know you could reach that far.
(Jamieleigh laughing)
Did you think he could reach that far?
- [Capree] I wasn't looking I have to be honest.
- All right, new plan.
New plan, Stan.
New plan.
Going this way. - [Capree] I got to stand.
- I'm stuck.
Double stuck.
- [Capree] Mom, don't go back any farther,
you're going to hit the water. - Oh, thank you.
I know, I just changed the whole game.
Come on.
There we go. Look at that.
Haha!
- [Capree] I might have been filming up on accident.
- Did you get it?
- [Capree] I don't know.
- [Jamieleigh] Good job, Bean.
- [Capree] At least he's on the cage.
- Okay, he's getting a big reward for that.
Oh gross, there's a lot of poop right here.
Yeah, you're into it now.
- [Capree] You ready?
How much time has this taken?
- I wonder if I can get him to.
I don't know, it might be pushing it.
Let me think.
You're just being good.
I'm going to try to put him inside if he'll go.
Can you see everything?
- [Capree] I can't see if he put it in.
I'll need to kind of move.
Can I move to see him go?
- Where do you need to go?
- [Capree] I need to go over there-
- Yeah, why don't you go around that way.
- [Capree] I almost ran into a perch.
- It's okay, you're not surrounded.
Don't worry about it.
- [Capree] Actually, I can probably just set this up
right here.
Oh gosh, sorry, Bean.
- It's okay. I'm going to try setting this up this way.
Get this door to stay open.
There we go.
Okay, Bean.
Come on over.
You know this one.
Look.
- [Capree] How big's the video?
- You mean how long?
- [Capree] Yeah.
It's already been five minutes.
- Has it?
- [Capree] 5:05.
- [Jamieleigh] Let me try something.
- [Capree] 5:06, 5:07, 5:08.
- [Jamieleigh] Okay, Capree, Capree.
It's okay.
Oh, you got me.
He got me on that one, you smarty Smurf.
His mouth is full and everything.
You come?
No, not scratches, I want you to come.
Oh, see these feathers?
See those? - [Capree] Yeah.
- That's when you don't cut him
because all those feathers are big.
That's when he is not being such a nice guy.
- [Capree] Okay, then we can go?
- No. We got to end on the good one.
All right, come on down here.
We'll just go for the top because it was a big deal
that you even came over to this one.
Oh, you got a crumb?
Good job.
See?
That was pretty cool.
Even if he's not going in, this was his first session
with this.
- [Capree] It's been six minutes.
- Okay, okay, I'm stopping.
Thank you, ma'am.
So as you guys saw, crate training's going awesome.
I really feel like somebody that understands
a little bit of training can expand on that
depending on what carrier they possibly use.
His desensitization is coming along really well.
And the more desensitization training
that you do or I do,
the more adaptable he will be to crate training
or trick training or any other type of training.
The more desensitized he is, the less you will have
to get over hurdles that you'll have to get over
with other types of training.
So that's why I've focused so much primarily
on desensitization.
Now I did have a client come visit me with her
Red Fronted Macaw Ricochet
and her baby Camelot Macaw Halo,
and I wanted to utilize this aviary for them a lot.
Also construction finally started to get underway.
Felt like it just sat there as a gravel pad
for a month.
And so anyways, construction really started to get underway
and it was really intense, it was a lot louder and more
crazy than I anticipated.
I also wasn't home for it a lot of the time.
And I didn't want Bean to be stressed out
and have me be unaware if he was handling it badly.
So I wanted him closer to home so to speak
so I could see how he was handling things.
Again, it's desensitization.
He was already confident in the round cage I had out there,
but now I could have him not only in that round cage,
but also have the door open whenever I wanted
and put the play stands out there so he could really utilize
the entire space, he could fly if he wanted to,
which I have to be honest, he's more likely
to fly in that space than I noticed he was
in the 15 foot diameter aviary.
So that was really exciting discovery.
I could see how he was flying and more often
and things like that.
Especially if we leave the door open to the house,
he flies off the cage and comes walking in the house.
And so just things like that.
I also wanted to utilize my 15 foot diameter aviary
for Kim's birds.
So I wanted to make sure that Bean had a good place to be
that would still be progressing his desensitization
training overall.
What was the other stuff?
Oh, the other stuff that I wanted to tell you guys
is that some really exciting things just kind of
naturally happened and that's that Bean
started responding really great to Kim.
To my friend, Kim.
She can feed him, she can handle him, she can train him.
And so I was encouraging her to do all of that
because honestly, seeing how well and how quickly
he took to her made me feel like he is
going to be a very
easy adoption as far as
I think he will connect with people pretty easily.
So the only thing that they'll need to be mindful of,
and I feel like he's at a point where he is trainable,
and I know a lot of you are wondering why don't you see me
trick training him more?
And the reason is cause I feel like somebody,
his forever home, should have those tools to use
to do that and to create that relationship, create that bond
and get to know each other through trick training.
I think it's a great tool for that.
So I don't want to go and train everything,
cause he is very trainable,
and then leave nothing for them to work on,
especially because you like to kind of work on the basic
trick training behaviors first
and then kind of build upon those.
So I didn't want to take anything away from the new owners
and I wanted to work on the stuff that
has more long term effects.
The more desensitization I do, the easier pathway
those new owners will have in anything they decide
to do with Bean.
So I wanted to take on the stuff that was less cute,
less fun if you will and leave a lot of room
and a lot of tools for that forever home
that he's eventually going to go to.
So anyways, really, really exciting.
I feel like he's ready for a home.
What do you guys think?
- Okay.
Good job.
Oops, sorry.
(loud clicking)
He's like, "I don't want to that."
Can you wave?
No?
He's like, "Maybe if you pet me."
Can you wave?
(Kim laughs)
- [Jamieleigh] It'd be really easy for the bow on cue.
- [Kim] Oh, right.
Would that be the cutest ever?
- [Jamieleigh] What do you do when I walk in the room?
- And you bow.
Wave.
(bird whistles)
- [Jamieleigh] You're making a funky wave.
(Kim laughing) - Yeah.
He's like, "Hey."
- [Jamieleigh] You're getting bold.
That's pretty funny.
- Should I keep going with it?
- [Jamieleigh] Yeah.
It's unique to Bean.
- [Kim] Can you wave?
Can you wave?
There you go. Got it all by itself.
Can you wave?
(Kim laughing)
- [Jamieleigh] You're just going to get all sorts
of behaviors.
- [Kim] What are you doing?
Can you wave?
(bird whistles)
Good job. Now we're whistling.
- [Jamieleigh] You're not going to get just one behavior.
Blueray, what are you doing?
- [Kim] Good job.
He's so gentle about it.
Reggie is famous for
backing into it.
