 We're gonna give them about half an hour. I am gonna spy on them a little bit, but the camera's kind of like overwhelming. And then I'm going to, she's on a perch, come on, come on. She's on the perch looking up at him. We're totally being invasive. Hello, my fellow sniffers, flighters and hatchlings. My name is Marlene McCohen. This is George. And this right here is Finchie. I'll get you a close up. Finchie just had a bath because it's a very big day for Finchie. And I'm sure you guys are all here to see what's about to happen. Finchie is finally going to get to be with his new girlfriend. So we'll see how Finchie reacts. Finchie's been waiting for this day. He had a tragic life before this. His wife died, his kid died. Then he grieved and now he's getting ready. So let me show you the cage. I cleaned it up, took everything out of it and I'm gonna show you what it is now. And then I'm gonna show you us prepping the cage for both of the birds. So here's the cage. The bottom is clean. I put just some paper right here. Basically there's nothing in the cage. There's lots of room for things. Oh, I forgot to take out Finchie's little swing. But we're gonna put a whole bunch of new things in there now. First, we're gonna start with this cute little perch that George is playing with with Finchie. Trying to get him to go on it. Oh my God, he looks so cute in his bath. What's up Finchie? Are you so cute? You still need to dry up, huh? Are you so handsome? Yes you are. George, let's choose some spots to put all of Finchie's branches. So the first thing about this branch. Okay. The first thing you guys need to know is you wanna get natural branches or branches that resemble natural branches in shape. You know, so they have a lot of different options for their feet, so their feet won't be stuck in one position. So we have some new ones for them both and some old ones that Finchie was on. This is a real Manzanita branch that we had for Finchie, along with a few others. The camera's a little heavy for me and we got some new ones which you guys saw in the last video, so check that out. So we're gonna insert those in the cages along with some other things and then we're gonna introduce them. And let me show you what Finchie's doing now. We'll keep tabs on Finchie every few minutes, okay? Oh, I love Finchie so much. Finchie's really chill. Also, I just realized you guys don't know if his girlfriend's name is Fiona or Zora. What do you like better, George? Finchie and Fiona or Finchie and Zora? I think Fiona sounds better. Finchie and Fiona, you're right. Danny is his girlfriend's name Fiona or Zora? Zora, Fiona was married to Shrek. So the first perch George decided to put right in the middle. We obviously have lots of other perches to put around but you remember that this might be trial and error. You might see how it will feel more comfortable. You might realize when you put other perches in that they're not placed correctly. Placed correctly would be, for me, that there's not one perch directly on top of another where they can go potty on all of the branches below it. You wanna maximize the ability to keep the cage super clean so just think of that before you put the perches in. The other thing is you wanna make the perches accessible to where the bowls are gonna be. So that's a whole another thing to think through. So George is finding some spots and we'll see how they turn out. You also wanna have different levels in the cage because this cage is big enough for them to fly around but you wanna make sure that the perches don't block all their ability to fly around as well. You could keep these kind of low because we obviously have this swing. We have this perch over here. We have this one over here. He's put this perch up here with a bowl next to it. We have this swing up in the high corner. You can decide officially where all the bowls go later. We also don't have to put everything in there right away. We can switch things out just to make it entertaining for them. I got them. This swing is ladder because it hangs straight without moving too much and they sit in it like a swing. So if Finchy wants to sit here, then Finchy can stand here. Oh, look at him. Did he go over to her? Oh my God, he flew to her. So that it's also next to a perch. No, look, they can meet there. Let's put this down here. He's gotta approve him too. Goes two ways. Why would you let your vets be next to each other, George? She might need her space. Well, they don't have to date right away. They can be like friends. These four bowls in all different sections. So technically they each have food and each have water. They decided that if the bowls were in all different locations, it would be better kind of like foraging for them and to get them used to playing with different areas so that they climb up onto the perches and stuff. We'll see what happens. Like you gotta watch your birds after you update or change things or put two birds together. You gotta make sure that they don't feel uncomfortable that something isn't dangerous. You have to check everything. Something falls or keeps falling. You gotta take it out the first time there's any kind of mistake. So hopefully they utilize this. Let's see what happens. All right, guys, this is Fiona. Here she goes. We're gonna put her in here first. She goes in there first. Let's give her a moment just to explore. Kinda wanna wait till she perches somewhere. Okay, there she is. She's perched. She's chilling. So I think we should put Finchie in there. You excited, Finchie? He's excited. Finchie is doing well. She's so beautiful. She is beautiful. Finchie's like, this has made me hungry. He's happy. It'll be fun watching all the things they do and chill on. Finchie, I want another kissy Finchie. Daddy give you a bath today, yes. Okay guys, so we're gonna give them about half an hour. I am gonna spy on them a little bit but the camera's kinda like overwhelming and then I'm going to, she's on a perch. I'm coming for her. She's on the perch looking up at him. We're totally being invasive, but I just want. Do you see? Oh, I got a visitor. Who flew into my shoulder, huge. Okay guys, it's been about an hour. They're both sitting on the same perch. Finchie went into his house. He went into his little nest and she's sleeping outside. Morning everyone, let's have a Finch House update. As you guys can see, there she is. She's up there. She's exploring. She's hanging out. Finchie's down here. He needs to come up and hang out. He has been though. They've both been kinda on this perch and this perch. I've seen them together. The camera doesn't bother Finchie but it bothers her right now. She'll get used to it. So that's the update. What is the matter, Cody? Oh my God, oh my God. Are you the cutest? Are you the cutest? Oh, Finchie wants me back. Do you hear that? Okay, now Finchie's up and eating breakfast. Looks like George gave Finchie an apple. She got an apple too. Well, they're very happy.
