- Hey guys, I wanted to share
a different type of video with you today.
I've been leaning towards this style,
I guess I'll call it, of video for a while.
Over on my Patreon I started a series called "Oh Flock"
which is basically where you get completely unedited videos.
It's just the raw footage in a training session
in its entirety, no cuts, no fancy edits,
not that I can do fancy edits anyway,
but no cuts or anything so that you get to see everything,
the training session from when I first turn the camera on
to when I turn it off, and it's been a really cool style,
it's a lot less work on my part,
and it's a lot more detailed on giving it to the viewer.
So you guys get to see everything from my interaction,
just the whole thing in its entirety,
which I thought would be very valuable to people,
and it's been a really good hit on Patreon.
So I wanted to give you guys here on YouTube
a taste of what that looks like or feels like
with this video with Blueberry.
So I want to show you a training session
from start to finish what I was working on,
and then the end result in the end
of what I was trying to achieve with Blueberry
and just kind of let you see my full interaction with her.
Are you leaving me?
Go on the chair.
Anyways, I hope you really enjoy this style,
and please let me know in the comments
if it's up your alley and if you want
to see more of this type of style
or if you found it totally dreadful and boring
and you'd definitely like when I cut the waiting out.
(laughs)
Definitely curious to find out, huh?
Normally with my "Oh Flock" series,
I'm actually working on a problem
that I'm having with my own birds.
So, "Oh Flock" over on Patreon is specific
to my own flock of birds.
It's not pertaining to project birds,
or a client's birds, or anything like that.
It's just merely things that I'm working on
with my own flock.
So for example, those of you here on YouTube
might remember when Comet, my Camelot Macaw,
had a broken blood feather, and before that,
he was really great about letting me check out his tail,
separate his tail feathers,
and really inspect what was going on.
After his blood feather, because that was pretty painful,
he was no longer okay with me touching and doing that whole,
I guess, examination sort of thing with him,
and so I did an entire series of "Oh Flock"
and everybody on Patreon got to see each training session
leading up to the end result of him
eventually letting me examine him again.
So they got to see what it looked like
to repair that relationship gap, I guess you could say.
I've also worked with Jinx, of course,
'cause he is my troublemaker, love him to death,
but if anybody's gonna have some problems,
it's gonna be Jinxy.
So he has definitely worked
through some stuff on "Oh Flock".
I've worked with my Conures too.
So my Camelot Macaw, Cressi, during hormones, oh, Lordy,
a lot of episodes of that,
but just kinda show you different things
that I'm experiencing as difficulties
with my own flock and how I overcome it.
Blue, Blueberry.
Love you.
Oh, you're so cute.

Jeez, Blue.
Blue, Blueberry.
Okay, just wanted to get rid of most of them.
Hey!
Darn it, that's where the others went.
Okay.
I'm gonna try something new with you, Blue.
Okay.
Alright, I'm going to show that
you can train little birds to play with toys.
(clicking)
So, Blue, just want you to chew on it.
Blue, Blueberry.
(clicking)
Good job.
Now we haven't extended on that too much,
but I do just want to see if it translates to another toy.
After you're done getting all
the little freebies down there.
Blueberry.
Can you chew this?
Berry.
Berry, berry, Blue.
Pay attention, focus!
Blueberry.
Right here.
Can you chew this?
(clicking)
Good, good job!
Good job, good job!
More.
(clicking)
Good job.
That was awesome.
I actually ripped a little piece up.
It's tiny,
but it's a little piece, which you can't see
'cause it doesn't wanna focus on you.
Yeah, that's what Blueberry just pulled a chunk out.
Good job, Blue.
Okay, over here.
Blueberry.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, keep going.
More, more, more.
You got a chunk last time.
Okay.
Hey, Blue.
Right here.
You were doing it.
(clicking)
Good job.
A little bit better than that.
(clicking)
Oh, good job, good job!
That was so good.
Do some more.
Do some more toy chewing.
Toy chewing for Blue.
(clicking)
Good job.
More, more.
Can you do some more?
Blue, Blue.
(clicking)
Good.
Good job.
Let's try a different one
'cause you're just doing awesome.
Can you do this one?
(laughs) Where'd you go?
(clicking)
Good job.
You're doing awesome.
Somewhere on this toy.
(clicking)
Good, that was a chunk.
That was a chunk.
Super good, Blue.
(clicking)
That was wimpy.
Blue, Blueberry.
Last one.
(clicking)
Okay.
Good job.
Hey, Blue, can I have a kiss?

Thank you, thank you, Blueberry.
We got blue with a berry.
