Congrats to...

Morgan Otto! Teaching a bird to take a bath!  I was struggling with my sun conure, being afraid of water when I watched this video.  The story of where this bird was kept broke my heart.  By the end of the video, I was in tears.  To take an animal whom was abused and terrified of something, and then teach it that it’s nothing to be afraid of is one thing.  Then to have it actually enjoy bathing at the end, I legit cried I was so happy for that bird and it’s keeper.  It was amazing.  I used the same method for my bird, and now he baths like a pro! 

This comment meant so much to me because it's literally what I wish for my content to achieve! I want to inspire people to believe they can do it too! 

and...

Sherry Mathes! My 6 yr old tamed a Quaker without me knowing! This is just one of many of my favorites. It not only shows your dedication to your project birds, it also shows no matter the age of a bird it's behavior can change. You can teach an old bird new tricks. Sometimes just a change of scenery can change a birds whole demeanor. Wala Lefty❣️ The way Capri showed him what it's like when your human loves you and he suddenly became a cuddle bug because of her. It also shows how even very young children can be taught how to treat an animal and learn to respect their boundaries. I absolutely love that your whole family interact with all your birds , projects included. This video shows me that even though you're the one taking on these birds the others can step in if it's best for the bird. Anyway, this is a great video. 

This comment meant so much because I always have major internal struggles sharing more parts of my life - like my relationship with my daughter and opening myself to being judged as a mother. Judge me as a parrot trainer all day, but when it comes to being judged on my parenting... that's all sorts of vulnerable for me. The series with Lefty and Touche seemed to reach an audience that I didn't know needed to be reached and I'm so... grateful. Hearing comments like this reminds me why I need to constantly be open to being vulnerable because it can reach further than I ever imagined. 

I passed on your email addresses to my customer service so they could both get in touch about which couse you'd like to receive... 

Thank you all for participating. Your comments literally filled my soul to read and it was so hard to choose. xoxo
