I’m just catching up after joining Patreon, but I had noticed that you don’t seem your normal self in some of these videos. I hope you are doing better now x

Yeah definitely, this was last summer for me which was just a really rough time with the flooding issue of our freeze dryers and some personal relationships butting heads. Although the freeze drying stuff isn't situated yet all the other stuff is settled which was the bigger weight honestly.

Aww! Love seeing his progress! Just out of curiosity, why aren't you working on a diet conversion for him? My cockatiel loves your pellets and the seasonal feeding system. I was able to switch her from a mostly seed diet to your food in a very short time...I just pretended like I was pecking at it with my fingers and "ate it" too.

Cockatiels to me seem like some people, slow to learn, quick to anger, and even quicker to forget lol. It took my Piper forever to learn the spin and now she offers it as soon as she sees me with my treat bag or just a clicker but she also gets angry when I try to teach her something else. She’s like but I already know this one “see I can spin n spin n spine forever.

While I'm so sorry you were going through a hard time it's always good to know that your not the only one. It's hard to work with bird if your energy isn't right. I love your jacket I wish you sold them or do you??

I had the thought before I watched the video that I was amazed at how you show your mistakes as well as successes. That isn’t easy to do, but wanted you to know that is one of the things that I appreciate about you and Dave. I’m sorry to hear that you were going through some things, I hope it gets better and easier soon. Yay for your successes with Clyde. Go gently with you.

Hi Wendy! We offer them to our freeflight students but haven't offered them publicly but I would be willing to. If you want to email us your size (they're fitted jackets) we can make a custom invoice for you. I will warn you they're about $100+shipping. That's just our cost on it, no mark up. So if that's out of budget I totally understand! But if you are interested please email us (info@birdtricks.com).

I think it's important as we learn probably more from the failures and so do others, as embarrassing as it can be to live our mistakes publicly.

Honestly, I don't have a good excuse for that. I just wasn't functioning at 100% is my only real reason. I was very easily discouraged throughout... everything.

Thank you for sharing your mistakes they are very relatable especially because cockatiels are just frustrating
