My Parrots' Reaction When I Return from a Trip

We just got back from a trip to Europe for parrot seminars and events. After 12 days away, we missed our birds and were eager to see them. Here is a first hand look at Kili, Truman, and Rachel's reactions to seeing us come home after being away a while.

Kili was no problem as usual. Though, in her excessive excitement, she forgot to come down to her usual perch that she needs to go to in order to come out. Truman didn't move his butt for anyone but stepped right up for the approaching hand. Rachel tried to bite Marianna several times while running around the cage saying "step up, step up" as though she really wanted to come out. The Macaw's over excitement was leading to unwarranted biting so Marianna grabbed a clicker and target stick to remind what's going on. It wasn't long till she came out and was friendly as well.

I've had small issues like this in the past with Kili and Truman, but through years of practice and the right techniques, it's no longer any trouble handling them from the moment I get back.

More videos of my parrot adventure trip to Europe coming soon.
