Hello Everyone,

I am in the process of producing videos two and three in my "Secrets of Bird Magic" series. Before the script is written up completely, I wanted to get the opinions of everyone, on things that you might like to learn. (Vol. 2 & 3 will both cover parakeets, doves, and parrots, just like the first one.)

Is there a particular effect that you would like to know? Are there any specific ideas or details that may have been over looked in the past?

Your opinions are greatly appreciated! Please feel free to post your opinions, or PM me. Thanks!

Dave

I know when I perform my dove act alot of magicians ask where I learned my Dove Split.

The caring and raising of doves in captivity.

The proper preparation for the inevitable increase in population. Instead of them just laying their eggs in the food dish and raising them there.

The sort of materials that one should make avaialable for the birds to build their nests out of.

g0thike - Video One contains much of the information you stated in your post, with special attention directed toward a siffener that will eliminate ALL buldges.

Thanks for your suggestions! Many of these will go in Volume 2.

I look forward to hearing everyone else's thoughts.

As I have mentioned before I don't yet own any birds, I do plan on buying your video's later in the year.

What I would like to know about most, is working with parakeets without bags or holders. I would like to know about invisible harness techniques or alternatives.

Cheers for asking,

Womach,

I did not know that, personally I never heard of you till I joined this Café. I was just putting info out based on the Shimada, Clark and other dove videos.

Hi g0thike,

I hope I didn't come across wrong. I re-read my post, and saw that it could have been taken wrong. Sorry!!! I do appreciate your comments. Many of your suggestions will be put into the next two videos. I was just trying to point out that we have included a few of your suggestions already, in video one. Sorry if it sounded arrogant!

Dave

Dave,

i just finished watching your vol 2 and it has some great ideas. I would like to see some more training tips on parakeets for example walking from arm back to cage and maybe ballon to parakeet. I would also be into more on your jacket in terms of possibly a diagram to give to the tailor. By all means I don't want to copy yours and I already have one but your jacket style it very nice. It is so hard to find a good tailor. I am really into the close-up idea of using a parakeet like your ambitious card. do you have anything similar on the next tapes that may be easier to get into. Overall as I said before awesome tapes.
