As a new member, I feel like BT has really encouraged a lot of people to become bird owners for the first time. I think it's great that more people are becoming interested in birds but it can open the doors to people who may not know what they're doing - especially with larger parrots. There's something about the YouTube algorithm that promotes their videos randomly. I used to NEVER watch bird videos and BT would still be recommended.It seems like we’ve had an influx of newer members promoting BT. Have you noticed that?
Personally, I think some of their videos are great (there's one on DIY budgie seed mix) and some of them are basically infomercials for their products. I don't like that they starve their birds for training. It's irresponsible for them to promote that technique given how many pet birds are already malnourished. Something about the husband annoys me. I feel like he talks down to people sometimes... or maybe it's his facial expressions. I would never buy their stuff - too expensive esp. in Canadian dollars.
