How I Tricked My Bird Into Wearing an Aviator Harness | Vlog #260

Finally, my #AfricanGrey #parrot received her Aviator Harness ordered from Amazon from the Parrot University/Parrot Wizard. But putting it on was critical, because she needed to register wearing the harness as a positive experience! We couldn't force the harness on her, because it might cause her to be fearful of the harness for the rest of her life. She needed to wear the harness now that she was officially flying. Watch how I managed to get it on her problem-free! #pets

Welcome to my daily vlogs! TRAVEL. FOOD. COMEDY. SINGING. ANTS. LIFE.

I upload a new video every day at 7AM EST!

About Me:

My bio is pretty random: In short, I am a professional singer/songwriter from Toronto, Canada who moved to Manila, Philippines which sorta became my Hollywood because my first Youtube channel MIKEYBUSTOSVIDEOS grew popular due to Filipino comedy videos. Meanwhile, I'm also a big biology geek who is obsessed with ants, so I built an internationally operating ant business supported by another popular channel called ANTSCANADA, and well basically, today I travel and tour around the world doing what I love so I wanted to start this vlogging channel, in hopes to encourage you guys to follow your dreams no matter how random, by showing you what happened when I followed mine! You just never know where life will take you when you listen to the yearnings of your heart!

[theresagalvosXD]

its really funny how you two just reenacted the scene in How To Train Your Dragon where Hiccup tries to attach the fake tail wings onto Toothless hahaha

[belindadejesus]

😁 I feel no matter what you introduce to her she will adapt quickly and easily. You have a calm manner and patience for her and you can tell she feels that.

[AmericaWomannn]

No it’s because of how good you are with her. You were born to take care of animal life. I believe it!

[maryannbootsong]

Yay! The harness arrived! Love how daddy Mikey was careful and patient in putting and taking off the harness from Ligaya. Would love to see Ligaya take her first bath.

When I saw the thumbnail I was like "Oops I'm going to cancel anything that I want to do for 30 minutes"

[SuperHuggz]

Harness training has bee really hard with Willow. Thank u for giving me a new idea of a new way to go about it.

[GlitchScatter]

Melts my heart. We got our African grey as a baby and she was this calm and curious when she was tiny. Sadly we didn't think of a harness so now we have a year old grey with phobias! Lol. Hope her love for treats overcomes her fear

[elianwolfert]

Oh my god RJ at the cliffhanger "It's me!" I nearly chocked hahaha oh RJ

[kaybeekal]

I love to see how you treat your bird so wonderfully. Your a great bird parent. :)

[slaphappysmokey]

Yay!!! She is going to LOVE bathing with you!!!

I am constantly talking to the screen watching you with her. I am so excited to see how well you are doing with her!! I love it! My babies watch with me, too, since they seem to love watching all the birds they can on the screen. Seriously, thank you for sharing your experience. It is so much fun watching her grow!

[purpleangelwings]

This is so are very patient with the bird....iv never heard of a bird wearing a harness....how cool is that !!!!

[taffydragon]

the part when you where bribeing her with seeds and getting her used to the feeling of the leash reminds me of that one scene from how to train your dragon where hiccup was getting the fake tail on toothless for the first time :p

[riccihershey]

You did such a great job with her. She trusts you I can tell. She seems young. My CAG was 5 months old when I got him. Awesome video!

[sunnydayssandytoes]

That was so smart to give her the seeds and put it on the bowl!

Wow super impressed that went so fast..Im sure it wasn't fast, but all in the same sitting. She looks so good in it! It matches her tail!
When you were trying to get her to say WOWOWOW she sounded like a penguin..lol .

WHAT??! You cant be 37? You look so much younger than that like 28 max, but our 14 yr old said 'he's too wise to be in his 20s"..lol

Ligaya is so funny when feeding and she crouches ready to get more..lol

Yay she went in the shower!! Show us Ligaya in the shower, but PLEASE wear your swim suit Speedos..lol as we don't want to accidentally see your birthday suit..lol
RJ >>SO FUNNY

[moonagedaydream]

Omg, eating the seed in the hole! That’s brilliant right there ❤👏 Bravo!

[aceecamacho]

From Instant Noodle Chef, now you turned out to baby Ligaya formula Chef! 😁 What an awesome Daddy bird! 😊

[ericaharrington]

I love her so muchhh! Your YouTube channel is great! I might be getting a green cheek counure around Christmas 😃 I’ve been doing 3 months research 😃and I also have 2 budgies 😂 thank you and your bird so much for the funny and educating videos😆😆

[eonerasy]

Rofl! “It’s like a... string part” I love watching your interactions and this was genius

[tereasacarty]

This is great glad to see you got the harness give you peace of mind for ligaya safety. She is at the right age. My friend had a pet cockatoo that would fly around the yard an just for walks, well Lucy flew up a in a tree like she always did but on her flight back a hawk got her! Sad day now my friend uses harness with new bird. Take care an God Bless till next video

[patricialynnwelker]

Hi Mikey!
I have to say that out of all the videos out there, your's is the BEST! You gave me new a new way on 'tricking' my conure into wearing the harness. I have put the harness in the cage, like a toy. That way he can get use to seeing it, and play with it.
My bird and I got off to the wrong start, by me tryng to force it on him. Now I am starting over, and sad that I didn't see your video first. This will take some time to gain his trust again, but I will be more patient this time.
I will let you know how it goes. I feel confident that your advice will work, and I am very excited about it!
Plus you rock! You have an outstanding personality, and colorful way of explaining things.
Bravo!
