Dino the Macaw Does Tricks!

Dino, the Blue & Gold Macaw, does several tricks with his owner Todd at the 15th Hatch-Day Celebration at the Birdie Boutique.

Disclaimer: Do not try this on your bird. Todd was trained by our Avian Vet how to do this.

I don't think these other people understand. These birds can and will break your fingers with their beaks. The bird obviously trusts his owner not to hurt him, otherwise he'd either bite, scratch, or try to fly away.

all the people who are saying this handling is bad are morons!!! you can't force the bird to do anything it doesn't want too, and plus learning and practicing tricks helps keep them mentally challenged. not to mention the bond with the handler and the bird gets stronger.

@ableturner do you even have a bird to know when it likes or dislikes something? idiot

[Carmenellie]

If you notice other videos of Dino, he actually can fly. I have a conure, and trust me, you cannot force a bird to lay on its back like that- he trusts his person and is obviously well treted and socialized.

If the bird wanted to do the "trick" he would not be trying to hide his tail from the owner. Also when the man is holding the bird upside down the parrot immediately puts his bill and other foot on his hand, this is how a parrot attempts to stand himself upright in an upside down position. All this is is someone forcing a parrot to do something against it's will and anyone that knows anything about parrots and their body language would agree.

the parrot trust the guy who plays with him ... otherwise he wouldn't tolerate all that and would show some clear/painfull reactions if otherwise. on the otherhand ... a wrong reaction when u take him on the tail feathers and it can end badly for the parrot. i wouldn't do that with my parrot.

@ableturner If that bird didn't like it, he could've easily bitten the guy or tried to fly off.
