YT Channel: What are questions you have that are rarely answered online?

[Kenzie]

Hey all! I have been working the past little while researching video creation (editing software + studying how other people do their video content) as well as compiling video ideas and writing loose scripts + key points to follow for them.

I would like to know if you guys have or have seen some parrot-related questions or topics that are often overlooked and not touched on in most parrot media - OR things that are typically given with misinformation.

Here is my current list of topics:

Should You Clip your Bird? | Parrot Health

What is a “Complete” Parrot Diet? | Parrot Health

The Importance of Training | Parrot Enrichment

Birds first days Home | What to Do?

The Guide to Foraging | Parrot Enrichment

Getting Unfiltered Sunlight | Parrot Enrichment

Providing your bird with Variety | Parrot Enrichment

Should You get a Parrot? | What to Do?

Harness Training | Parrot Enrichment

Must haves for Pet Birds | Parrot Health

 

[Ember-Tiel]

Recall training or tricks maybe?
Noise control?
Moult Information?
By the way remember to tell everyone what your channel's name is. I would love to check it out.

Preparing to bring home a bird; buying correct cage size, perches, where to locate the cage

Dangerous everyday items; teflon, candles, aerosols, plants

Buying bird toys; things to look for (safe, enjoyable toys, reputable sellers) and things to look out for (like those unsafe things on amazon with painted beads etc)

How to pet birds (avoiding sexually). I have seen it covered, but not much and not well.
Keeping their bird safe. Dangers like letting them outside without a harness or cage. Or having a cat or dog in the house. Ceiling fans.
Preparing for a bird. By researching, and getting experience as much as possible.
Accepting their bird. However they act.

Both of your recommendations are perfect and exactly what I was looking for!

I will once I post my first ~official~ video. I have some videos of just my birds doing random stuff from 1-2 years ago lol! Soon

I am just unsure what my first video should aside from an introductory video...

You could keep it short and sweet, welcome people to your channel, introduce yourself and your birds.Give a brief overview of what you want to include on your channel and remind people to subscribe Then you can set that video as the channel trailer.

Another question; in the future, if I say... want to compile information about plucking parrots complete with pictures to show examples and solution, I'd like to ask some people from this forum of their experience I personally have not dealt with long-term plucking - only very minor + breeding related plucking, but it's something I want to make a video on due to the importance of identifying the signs and dealing with the issues properly... plus other ideas.

 

[Karen]

What to expect during your vet visit.

 

[AussieBird]

How about an educational video on free flight? Like the pros and cons, safety, ect.
Just a thought.

 

[budgieluv3]

Mineral supplements/ pet store vitamins!

 

[Maggiebird]

How about unsafe bird toys? I guess that could go under all about bird toys.

 

[ParrotNuts]

How to avoid bites

 

[dollfish]

Introducing birds to each other for the first time.
-P in behavioural training gets rarely touched upon.

 

[Momo & Mido]

How to give your bird medicine.
How to catch and towel your bird.
When Momo came and live with us he became sick pretty fast. I had to give him antibiotica. But hadn’t found this forum yet and was very very worried about ruining the trust. Also I chased him all around my living room instead of catching him in his cage. I did it all wrong, felt alone and helpless and could not find any info about it online.

I think you could also get very nice topics in a threat recently made about the mistakes we made when we were new parronts.

 

[BirdWorld]

You could do something about the danger of giving birds mirror toys
Also, when you've made the first vid please link it!
