Worlds Largest Parakeet - Zoey the Wonderbird

[BuskingCalifornia]

Nice video, I also enjoyed getting to see another side of you JoeJoe.

The regular guy just talking shop kinda guy! I'm going to check out all

of your other videos up. I never even knew you had videos on your site.

Thanks again Bro'!

I always got your back man!

[Huvagach]

I love feeding wild pigeons. They're so skittish and frightened at first but they grow to trust you if you give them time, and it's lovely having one sit on your hand whilst your stroke its back. Their feathers are unbelievably soft. Having a happy cooing pigeon trust you just lights me up, it's not a nice feeling when everything is afraid of and won't come near you. And yet in London they made feeding the wild pigeons illegal. Thousands died. At least it's still legal in other places.

[SetoJouGoodness]

I love how no one on this channel has the attention span to listen to your video where you CLEARLY state that her being the "world's largest parakeet" is a joke. :/

[shaunus16]

haha i loved this video! Zoey is amazing!! extremely smart and i love the way u see birds rather than just seeing them as stupid animals that shouldnt be around, and the bond between you and zoey is phenomanol i can tell that if she were too die early u would be wrecked and same goes for her amazing! :D

[Jdtoolbox]

its a rosela... not a parakeet

[Pigeonine]

@Jdtoolbox

lol.

its a bare eyed cockatoo

[Jdtoolbox]

@Pigeonine COOL

[AmazingJoeJoe]

@tdrewman Then perhaps you should move away from the duck's home then - duh

[AmazingJoeJoe]

@tdrewman I mean you really don't see how absurd your comment is? Birds are scared to death of humans! For a bird to be taking cookies from babies is a sign that it is literally STARVING! And in case you don't know this ... humans are not indigenous to Florida either, so get over your human power trip and figure out how to introduce a natural food source for these ducks so they don't have to rely on humans for food.

[SpychoSpy]

Fucking selfish people. I wish humans were less cruel... What a cute bird! At least your a good owner!

[snowball525]

I beleave that's a cockatiel

[gottaluvbirds]

@snowball525 no... i've never heard of a cockatiel 3-4 times bigger than its usual size, skin patches on it's eyes, and that it CLEARLY says that it's a little corella. believe me, i know what a cockatiel looks like...

[EnlightenedAzn]

Your parrot may seem innocent, but I would recommend installing a parrot-porn feature on your computer. They are sneaky little fellas.

[AmazingJoeJoe]

@EnlightenedAzn LMAO - I think I'll do that ... don't want her stumbling onto the National Geographic Channel : )))

[ann53090]

She is very smart!

[AugustusDragonSpirit]

How did you get them to fly where you want them to, but not fly away?

[AmazingJoeJoe]

@AugustusDragonSpirit Zoey was trained to fly on command for almost 2 years before she went outside. It started with her flying to me to get a treat, then flying from the top of a door to the floor, and then some walks outside to get her used to being outdoors. I don't recommend you try this unless you know how to train your bird properly.

[peaceout2332]

this is amazing

[Koolkid736]

really cool video and cute bird but cockatoo's arent parakeets...

[Ojane52]

I love the relationship you have with your birds. I have two tiels and an african grey, love them.

[rocklee300000]

i have a cockatiel 2 but not tamed :/ i want a paraket

[wingmagic]

I hope to god you do not lose your companion outside to one of the forces you cannot control.

[AmazingJoeJoe]

@wingmagic You don't get it - the purpose of free-flight training is so that you DON'T lose your bird ... a bird that is trained to "come" is not going to "escape" because she is not a prisoner. In all reality, Zoey is in less danger outside than you are driving down the freeway.

[gauthamchelsealegend]

@AmazingJoeJoe i dont think wingmagic is talkin bout your bird escaping....wat bout wildbirds or dogs that may attack the bird.

anyways awesome zoey! what kind is he?

[StephanieR909]

@AmazingJoeJoe I think they talking about a hawk or eagle swooping in - that you can't control. Have seen it happen - very heart breaking

[JoNSaDl3r]

@StephanieR909 bullshit have you seen it happen



[wingmagic]

Aah, yeah....that is NOT a parakeet. lol nice vid though/

[shantee4]

Very smart birdie!!

[solmv2001]

smart and funny bird

[brevonte11]

that is inspiring

[rossskate2k9]

why does zoey not fly away wen outside i had a cockateil it was very tame but one time the door was open it flew away

[AmazingJoeJoe]

@rossskate2k9 Because I flight trained Zoey to fly to me indoors before I ever took her outside. Zoey was trained for over a year before her first free flight. I hope to one day do a video explaining my training techniques. : )

[ilovedolly4]

aww sooooo cute :D

[Lun98000]

omg!!so cute~~

[TurtlesAreCool13]

Ive had my parakeets for about 1 year now and i havnt gotten my bird to get on my hand, i feed them and water them everyday and put my hand in their cage about 1 time a week for 5 mins for them to get use to them. Your bird is soo cool =)

[chinopalino6]

How did you make it go up and down its amazing?

[iamabove18youknow]

zoey is SO CUTE! :D she rocks out to britney! awesome. hahaha! zoey made me smile today! :)

[TheParakeetLover]

That is awesome!!! Zoey is so cute! And that is crule that they shot poor birds that are just trying to live, i mean people dont shoot us at wal-mart trying to buy food, that just makes my so angry!

[skyarsalan]

your awsome and right

subscribed

[Fiarrella]

You seem to be amazing with Birds. I never had one to care for myself, cept for a few pigeons with broken wings who were nursed back to help by my sister and I. They seem quite cute, your birdies :)

I have a cat but because she interacted in her earlier days with dogs and birds she is now dog friendly and even big dogs dont scare her. And about the birds? She's afraid of birds :D

[flychomperfly]

clever bird! great training!

great message too - we destroy the resources of our wild birds - paving over their food, knocking down their nests, and bringing in cat and dog predators where they didn't have them before. i love cats (my best friend for 16 years), but we have to also protect what is left of the bird populations. how else are they supposed to eat and survive if we don't help them?

look how smart birds are - scientists now believe they are dinosaurs. they deserve to survive!!

[rwcbanzai]

Zoey is awesome.

Reminds me of my Cockateils without the headcrest plummage.

Where is Zoey from?

Nice wildlife protection comment!

Ratings are gone so***** ; )

[BeardedRambo]

damn i love the vids man keep it up

[SarahCC97]

Kudos to you mentioning the Carolina Parakeet. My dream is that one little known aviary will have a breeding pairs (silly, I know). I do know of a lady who had a macaw, she thought it was an Amazon of sorts, had had to trlinquish it because of health reasons. It turned out to be a Spix Macaw. Too old for breeding, but a Spix nonetheless. Can you imagine!?

[xavier21magic]

Your birdies are beautiful!!!

[Rambler4ever1]

Hey Joe.. Great bird.. Yeah I believe in letting my too having space also. Making a free flyer is a great thing for them and you. But there is always that chance of a hawk or whatever coming down and doing the snatch and run. I have so far made a free flyer out a of a greenwing and a lesser sulfer crested too. Since then I have lost them to a break up wth a old relation. I know have a Umbrella Too 17 weeks old. She will be a free flyer also. Great vids, keep them comin

[tommyhawk100]

hey, i've trained horses and dogs for over 20years, but i just got my first parakeet. I havent a cluue how to get him to relax. I interact with him many times thru out the day, try to feed him by hand, but he refuses, and wont make any progress. Its been about 3weeks now, &the only thing he does better now than when i got him is not go crazy flying around the cage when i put my hand in. Any advice for me? He wil stand on my finger, only briefly.

[AmazingJoeJoe]

Feed him. I hold their little food dishes (seen at 3:08) in my hand and they eat off of my hand. That is how you get birds to trust you, you feed them. For parakeets, letting them eat millet from your hand is good too.

[vampirekilla556]

lol they gotta make it illeagal to feed her lolz 5/5 stars

[FellowTraveller]

beautiful COCKATOO!!! thanks for posting this one 5 stars

[triksz]

awesome!!

[FellowTraveller]

five stars made a favorite and added you as a subscription  good video even better and lovely Cockatoo. FT

[lolavex]

My bird loves to watch YT on my arm too. I'm not kidding.

[shineurs2]

high feathers to Zoey...!

[OnePickieChickie]

How is Zoey doing? If you change the description to say "Zoey is a Bare Eyed Cockatoo, otherwise known as a Little Corella" you will get more views on this video I think because it will come up as a related video to Frostie's videos.

[AmazingJoeJoe]

Zoey is doing really good, she keeps pushing me to do a "how she was trained" video ... hopefully soon we will have the time to do so. :)))

Great idea on the description! I think I will do that! :)))

[Rabbit0]

Zoey rocks.

[HaBNaB1]

i subscribed because Zoey said so :D

[AmazingJoeJoe]

Zoey says "Thank You"! :D

[HaBNaB1]

WOW Zoey is awsome great bird

lucky to have her

[rose675789]

thats a cockatoo

[LikeSheHas]

really awesome bird

[Aliruleseveryon]

hi, i think zoey is a corella not a cockatoo.

[AmazingJoeJoe]

Yes, Corella's are cockatoos ... Zoey is a "Little Corella", which is also known as the "Bare Eye Cockatoo" because they have no feathers around their eyes.

[chokolate999]

you have got one kick ass cockatoo my friend :) good work!

[AV4924]

cool

[kennymelodica]

Zoey Rocks ! 5*****

[masoodmagic101]

[Dreelamb]

I gave you a 5 star because Zoey is Cute, Smart & Loud. Thanks! ~Andree'

[AmazingJoeJoe]

Thank you very much! It means a lot to both Zoey and me!

[kimm1888]

Your bird is still in danger by being outside....alot of hawks have grabbed people's parrots while out and flew off with them. Cute birds! They obviously love you which means they are given lots of love!

[pedmaxs]

*****Triton88keyz-

[Mindbender94]

woow I just LOVE Zoey, I have this cockatiel named Doris and she is really cute, a little bity sometimes, but yeah she can really kiss me sometimes :) and I think just like you they should not feed that lazy lady.. no I haven't fed a wild bird but I fed my lil' doris, saw some small birds, and fed my neighbour's chickend and rooster :)

[FCBS4TheBirds]

Doh I forgot to mention.. This is OverTheRaynbow BTW. We still have Cocoa that we havn't adopted in a year yet. But she has now learned a lot of social manners and went to a event at a local elementry school. finally someone says what A nice bird can I adopt it?

Now I am scared that NOW she is so sweet do we want to easily adopt her out? We seriously need responsible adopters.

It is so hard with the big birds. They are not for everyone.

I love this Video BTW! 5 stars.

[AmazingJoeJoe]

Thanks for the stars! I hope you find responsible adopters for all your birds, I know it is hard.

[FCBS4TheBirds]

People so Don't understand! You turn on a song and she gets excited.... She has demands. LOL Zoey is not a parakeet. LOL. Shes a star! :-)

[FCBS4TheBirds]

Shes such a curious. She thinks you are just talking to her. keep spending time with her.

She has never tried to pick on your parakeets?

What a sweet bird.

[AmazingJoeJoe]

Generally speaking, they really only fight over perch space like all other parakeets tend to do. Sometimes Magnolia will dive-bomb her when she is on my shoulder, other times Magnolia will preen her tail feathers for her. So they basically behave like parakeets.

[emrahh13]

She is beautiful and a genius we need more pet owners like you in the world :)

[velvetika]

love this video *_*

[ToontownPokadotz]

LOL!!! Ty this is awesome :)

Btw i found this off of the Lisa Shea forum site for parakeets. :)

[toy1022]

wow that was great , i got a little nervous when they was on the roof and the dog was baring, my heart did double time, but he loves his daddy too much to let that come between him and you that was great!!!

[AmazingJoeJoe]

Thank you for compliments ... the dogs are my neighbors and were in a pen, they are of no threat to Zoey ... I was really just making conversation with her there, not that she understands me - lol - I just talk to her like she can all the time. :D

[uploadJ]

Awsome! Thanks for the video!

[tehawes0mesauce]

Zoey the Wonderbird is awesome. Thats all there is to it.

[SissyKool]

AWESOME BIRD! I have a 1 yr old BE2 and he is the sunshine in my day!

They are so amazing! SugarBear is fully flighted, but at the moment he can't get much time flying. But we're moving to a new house where I have a room just for my birds (also have a 18 yr old DYHA and 3 budgies) and then we'll be able to work on flying and targeting. I know the actual freeflying is YEARS of training down the road. But vids like yours show me the rewards down the road if I just work on it.

Thanks so much!

[AmazingJoeJoe]

Thats really awesome - having a room just for your birds, mine live in my bedroom with me and it gets crowded. It only took a little over a year to free flight Zoey, I'm going to do another video revealing some of training techniques sometime this summer. :)

[bebopbarbi]

I am impressed! Your a fun guy and Zoey obviously loves you! I subscribed!

[AmazingJoeJoe]

Thank you very much. I do appreciate it. : )

[Fethrs]

I agree with Barb! You both rock!! =o)

[Therapist1972]

Zoey Rocks!!! I love this so much!!!! 5 zillion stars!!!! :-)

[vicki12078]

Awesome Bird My Friend...We need more people like you who care for Birds...Vicki

A+++++

[shebear777]

A beautiful bare eyed cockatoo. My toos also watch birds dancing on You Tube

I know what you mean!

Great video 5 stars

[mercadocandles]

Thanks for such a lovely time with Zoey. You work very well with her. I do worry about flying outdoors. . I would love to see if Zoey enjoyed my Angels video.

[DeadlyRamon]

Wow, I'm amazed! Bird Talk editorials generally advise against both letting pet birds fly outside and keeping large birds amongst smaller ones, but your exceptional cockatoo is an obvious exception to those rules.

Your video was rather long at over 6 minutes, but it was entertaining and captivating throughout its duration. Well done!

[sandrateager]

Zoey is amazing!!!! Zoey we love you !!!! This is a splendid video--so well done & the message portrayed is one which is so worth while promoting!!!! I will be honoured to have your video as a video response to my STOP ANIMAL ABUSE video!!! THANKYOU!!!!!

[AmazingJoeJoe]

Thank you for your kind words, you should post your video as a response to Zoey's - Zoey wants to help stop animal abuse too! :)

[sandrateager]

You are most welcome!!! I would love to post my video as a response to your splendid video but sadly at the moment my webcam isn't working--in fact i'm going have to buy a new one!!!

[AmazingJoeJoe]

You don't need a webcam - just click the "Post a Video Response" link above the comments, the click "Choose a Video" ... and then select your video on the list. And if anyone else has a cockatoo/parakeet video, feel free to post it as a response too - Zoey loves watching other birdies.

[sandrateager]

Oh i didn't know that!!! I will defenitely try that one out!!! I do have a couple of friends here on YT who have lovely birds--i will defenitely tell them all about Zoey!!! THANKYOU!!!!

[morganvideo]

This is excellent! Both entertaining and educational - and a touching surprise ending! All the best to you and Zoey!

[AmazingJoeJoe]

She was an unwanted bird, I don't know how old she is. When I first got her, she was in the very early stages of feather plucking - a habit I've been able to discourage (knock on wood). I don't have any kids, so she pretty much gets all of my attention.

[OverTheRaynbow]

5 Star Video! Thanks so much for shareing. I am glad Zoey enjoys our videos also. Keep them coming.

[OnePickieChickie]

She's so cute! I want to see a video of her dancing with Frostie!

I'd be very careful about letting her fly outside if you have hawks in your area! Birds see in color and white stands out!

[AmazingJoeJoe]

We are very very careful - I always go outside first to check the conditions. We check for hawks, as well as wind, and just make sure everything is calm. She never goes outside in the dark, dusk, or dawn when miskitos are out. We also train her to perch in places where wild birds do not (like the roof on the video, wild birds don't seem to perch on roof tops so they are clean).

[OnePickieChickie]

Of course you are careful! I wasn't implying you aren't! Some people drink and/or smoke pot and get careless! AND I'm NOT implying you do either or are careless. Birds see in color and a white bird is very easily spotted. I take Frostie "hopping" outside in the grass and he loves it!

[AmazingJoeJoe]

I know, I'm just afraid people are going to think I just woke up and decided to take Zoey outside ... then lose their bird trying to take it outside too. I'm thinking I should do another video going into details on how I trained Zoey to help prevent that, I would hate to think a bird gets lost emulating Zoey and I.

[AmazingJoeJoe]

And if we had found Frostie's video before we filmed this, she would have DIFFIDENTLY made the list! Your bird can really dance!

[OnePickieChickie]

I'm sure you would have! Did you see the video of Frostie dancing while watching his video air on Ellen? It's quite hilarious!

[BirdLoversOnly]

Bravo! The outdoor birds have every right to fly wherever they want and be fed. The woman who initiated the request for that law should be ashamed of herself. Very good video!!!

Irena - Bird Lovers Only Rescue Service, Inc.

[OneCrazyHouse]

This is a beautiful cockatoo and well cared for and trained. It's amazing how you can let him be free and fly. The bond you two share is also amazing!
