 I feel really emotional. This is not what this video is supposed to be about. My snappers, today we are at the bird store. Okay, wait, stop. Who am I? My name is Marlene McOwen. If you are new to the channel, welcome. I'm so happy to have you here. Do not forget to subscribe. Click that notification bell because if you like animals, you are gonna like my channel. You know how I know? Cause anyone that truly likes animals loves exotic animals, AKA my parrot. So today we're gonna do another fun reaction video with Vinny. And I wanted to do this video earlier, but I realized I didn't have all the right materials for the videos. So if you don't know what I'm talking about, hold up. Cause I gotta do some shout outs cause we got some new flighters that have joined our flighters club. Yeah, I'm the new United cause I'm uniting us parrot lovers. That's right. I wanna give a shout out to Leanne Sue Moroski, Lisa Bedwell, Monique Boutillier. Ooh, fancy. Joanna, Joanna. Joanna's like major VIP. KGov, Patti, Victoria Stevenson. And I have to do another shout out to Ramona Bazar because I called her Ramona Buzzard in the last video. Duh, there was like one Z. Okay guys, so here's the thing that happened. I was granted, actually gifted, two cages. So I realized that Vinny totally needs a cage update. So I'm gonna give this new big cage to Vinny because I mean, he deserves it. He's a star. You guys love him. He's been working very hard to bring you guys cool content. So we bring it home and we put it in the hallway cause we're like, we don't want Vinny to see it. And there was a smaller cage and we roll that out and I go, hey Vinny, I have something for you. And he goes, is it a cage? And I'm like, stop right now. Cause you know, you guys know like this bird understands what he's saying and sometimes he speaks nonsense. And somebody wrote the funniest comment like ever. They wrote that Vinny is like auto correct and auto fill at the same time. I don't know, I was dying at that comment. Even I'm shocked sometimes with the things that he says. So I was like, what? And then like, he walked himself into the hallway and found the cage and climbed up it. So kind of Bernie knows that it's his but I didn't give it to him because when George and I went to set it up we realized he doesn't have bowls. He needs new perches because the other cage that he's in now, we're gonna put it outside and that's gonna be for Merlin to hang out outside and chill cause like I don't trust Merlin with the rest of the flock yet cause we have to do some like flock integration. Probably talk about my flock integration methods in another video cause I don't know if you guys saw but most of my birds are all chilled together except for Rocky. I won't even like try cause it's just so big. But anyway, yeah. So we're gonna go into the bird store. I gotta get bowls, perches and oh yeah, bird food. Don't let me forget. All right, so here we go. Guys, the cutest like Hyacinth McCaw is like staring at me. Don't they always look like they're smiling. I got this big cart. I need to get some stuff. Look at this cockatiel. This cockatiel just started already. Look at you just putting there like that. What are you? You're kidding. I have it in my mouth because you can't. Okay. What are you giving me? You're giving me both hands. I need both. You're giving, you got it, you can't believe. Okay. Let's put it where I can put this on it. I need to put this on the stand because they're gonna die if they see this. I come in innocently to get food and what does he tell me? He says, do you want a baby mustache, Perky? I'm like, stop. Like do you want one or not? I'm like, no, I don't want one. And I'm like, could I see it? He's like, no, you tell me if you want one. And I'm like, stop. Oh my God. Oh my God. Only one. There's only one. I don't get baby birds. All my birds are rescues. But I'm a baby so I can't get one. Guys, so, okay, I don't know how to tell you this, but I came in to get bird food and stuff for Vinny. And he goes, we actually were gonna call you today and then you came. I thought she called you. And I'm like, no, he goes, it's meant to be. And I'm like, no, there can't be this many birds meant to be with me. Maybe I could just find meant to be with everything. He's like, we only have one. Baby. I haven't had a baby bird since my first bird. George is not gonna say, get this baby in the way. Oh, do you smell good? I can't. Why did you do this to me right now? It's like baby Picasso. What do you think? It's your bird. It's meant to be. You came today. I called you because it was really nice. You were gonna call me today? Yeah, I need evidence of that on camera. Thank you. What happened today? On camera. I was gonna call you today about the moustache and you came. It's meant to be. It's magic. When that happens, the universe is lying to me. The universe is lying too much for me and birds though. I can't. Oh my God, look at the little tail growing in the hole. Look, look at the little tail. How old is this bird right now? I'm like three weeks and a half, four weeks. Three and a half weeks? This is crazy. Guys, you'll never believe it. I was like cutting the bird and then I went on my phone and the bird like raised herself up or himself up and pulled my finger down. Why? Oh, you blinked. This is not how I thought this video would go. I texted George a picture and George was like, you know, we got a new cage, right? Okay, I'm in the car. So I'm gonna say this again because I just need to figure this out in my head but basically I went in there to get bird food and dishes for Vinnie's new cage which is what this video is supposed to be about. It's gonna be a quick like little tidbit and then George and I put his new cage together and I don't know if I told you guys but we got two new cages given to us just miraculously by Rose at Parrots first and stands. So we went to pick that up and lots of paper which is weighing down the car and I put on my sniffer shirt today. I literally thought like I don't have any more birds that like sit and sniff just side notes. Anyway, I walk into the store and he's like, do you want a mustache bear game? I'm like, no, why do you have one? He's like, do you want one? I'm like, can I see it? He's like, do you want one? I'm like, stop, stop torturing me. And he's like, I'm like, why do I have to sale by it to see it? He's like, no, no, no, come see. I don't know if I told you this part of the story. I'm just trying to like emotionalize it all and then I see the baby and I remind him of Picasso. You guys know my birds are rescues and I kind of always dreamed of having like my baby bird but I don't need a baby bird because like I love my rescues and I think they have just as much personality if not more than any baby bird some people have. It just would be nice to like grow a bird with like my own imprint, you know? So the story is he got a bunch of ringnecks babies and the guy, the breeder said, there's one mustache parakeet in there but they all look the same so he couldn't tell and today was the first day that he could tell which one was the mustache you guys could see at his little mustache. And then he said, I got a call, Marlene and Teller and then I walked in and he thought that his boss called me but she didn't. I just walked in and he said it's just crazy because not only is it a mustache but today was the first day I knew it was a mustache and I wasn't gonna show it to anyone except for you. And I guess my trouble with this is that like how many birds can be meant to be for me? Like at some point it's gotta be too much. I'm gonna need a Starbucks. A lot of people that I'm personally corresponding with some of you guys on Instagram are saying like you deserve to have your baby. Like you haven't had a baby bird really since George and since like I was a kid. And like for those of you who know birds and those of you who are passionate about rescue, so am I. And I do wanna make a video on that. Otherwise I wouldn't have all these rescue birds but it would be really nice to have a baby. So anyway, I showed the picture to George and he was like, do you want it? And I was like, I don't know. I mean, I'd love to have a little Picasso but I don't want it to mean that like that I think I can still get Picasso back because I think the universe works in mysterious ways. I told you guys forever if I ever had another bird as a baby would always be a mustache parakeet and the two birds I can't live without ever like an African gray and a mustache parakeet. I guess I feel guilty about, you know like if I got a baby bird then, you know I didn't rescue a bird but I don't really feel that guilty because at the same time I think I've rescued enough birds to have the bird that I want and I'll never stop helping birds so it's not even that but I'm so heartbroken without my Picasso and nobody's gonna fill the void in this world. Nobody's gonna be Picasso but I do feel like I need the right bird in my flock to feel like that like what it is that Picasso and George gave me and George was also like kind of like my raising you know like and that's why I was so attached to him and like I don't have any birds in my flock like that right now and I feel like I would get that that spark back that like I don't know. Anyway, I have to show you something. I don't know if I'm gonna put this part in but oh my God guys I, I did it, I don't know. I feel really emotional. So I got the bird, I put money down. I thought about not telling you guys but then I thought maybe you want to be on the journey with me of this bird. Maybe you want to come with me to the store when I visit as a baby, maybe you want to do all that. I feel so conflicted when I was sitting with that bird and do you know what the bird did? It literally just like picked up my finger once I stopped petting it and I was like oh my God how can you eat like what three weeks old and it's like the other things going through my head is like I already have a home for Nellie and Monty and the reason I haven't been able to get them there is because it's in Texas because I will go to Great Lens to find the best home possible. But like I love them too, you know? Like I love them, I love them so much but I love them so much that I do think they need some specific kind of attention. It's not that they're not getting attention with me, it's that this specific kind of attention that I feel like the home I chose for them to go to will be the best. Kind of want to continue this conversation but I actually next door to the bird stores is reptile store and I was like I want to get my chameleon a whole new setup and then I went crazy in there for like an hour getting reptile education and setup education. So that's that but here's where we're at. George has no idea that I put money down on the bird. It's not like even hitting me, like it doesn't even feel real. It's not like like me to just I don't know. As much as it looks like I'll like oh my God I welcome all the birds. I'm actually very realistic when it comes to birds. I've turned down a lot of birds and found them help. How the ones come to me that they do is cause like it seems to be emergency situations. I don't even know, it's hard to explain. I got to call George to help me bring in this stuff and I don't even think he's gonna, I don't even, I don't know if I told you guys what his reaction was but his reaction was like do you want it? We have a cage like, I think we both like I just don't want to project Picasso on the bird but at the same time like Picasso was a sniffer and I don't have a sniffer and I think everybody like a lot of you are telling me like you deserve to have your baby bird cause it's just different. It really is different but not that different. I don't think like for me like I just get just as much love out of my other birds. I love them. It's been a long time. I don't know. I know I'm rambling. I don't know if I want to go in the house. I don't even know like LP. Can you come help me? Hi guys. Has this been on the whole time? Are you kidding me? Guys, I think George has completely forgotten about the baby bird. I think he'll ask me unless I bring it up. Someone better wait like what I should do. What's up? Who wants to see something cute? Yeah. I saw him already. I know. That's a baby Picasso. Cute, right? Cute, right? Yeah. Emotion reaction, three, two, one. Aww. Stop, you know it's cute. I know it's cute. He's cute. Can I get your full attention? Well, we have handsome guests in the house cause my channel likes handsome guests like you. Woo. What is this? I get it. You got it? Yeah. Okay. So here's the thing. It's our baby. So you can go visit it so it bonds with you. So I can take you down there and you can visit it. What do you think? I like it. It's like your baby likes you. You can come too. I went to there because Jordan was smaller the first day of the week. And like, I don't leave him all the time. He's paying gas cash. So we can visit the baby like you visited Torch. Cause I was born a month early, that's why. I was too. Does it? I was born a month early because I wasn't eating in mom's stomach. Cause I knew I was supposed to be gluten free back then. Wait, is no one like, is it not a thing that this is happening? It's funny. It hasn't happened till we actually have him here. But I'm still not, I'm still kind of in shock but I had a feeling you were going to do it. I just wasn't sure. Cause you know, honestly, I was going to be like, did you get him? Did you not? I swear. You didn't even. I thought you, no, in my mind I was thinking that. You did when I showed you. Wait, can I show you something else? Look at my Instagram. Wait till you see the face. Hold on, the face is gone. Look at this. Oh. Is it yours? You're a baby. So what are we calling it? I have an idea for a name. What? I thought about the name Garfield. No. Oh hell no. What? But you know I always wanted a bird named Garfield. I don't. Roosevelt. Roosevelt? Theater. So, Dali, you have to cut. So now you have Dali. Dali? Dali. Why don't we name him Salvador? So this stuff makes sense. Salvador Dali. Oh, Salvador Dali. Yeah, with the mustache and he have also mustache. So it's good for you, no? So we name him Salvador? Salvador. I can't name my bird Sal. I'm gonna call up Sal and be like, yo, I name my bird Sal. I don't know Salvador. This name has to be perfect. Like cause the name Picasso was perfect. What about Garfield? Oh, I'm gonna put two. Hello, beautiful. Hey, hey, baby. Can you see me? I'm so mad about him. What are you doing here? As soon as I turn off the camera, she makes her choice. This was not the video that I expected to happen. So I thought we were gonna put together Vinnie's New Cage, which I'll show you. So this is Vinnie's New Cage. This is the extra cage that came for us. I don't know. Is that gonna be for Winston? Why are you calling the bird Winston? Also that's what a mare named is a dog. Well, like Winston, it's just. I just, I met a Winston and I kinda liked Winston. Winston is a cool name. It is a cool name. How about Marvel or a woman? What? Hey guys, I just wanna give you a view of something. Let's see everyone. Leo, Vinnie, Blue. Do we know what they are like? So this is like we're about to eat and this is about like they're all about to be included. Parallel. So anyway, we're gonna build this now for the chameleon and all the birds are sleeping and we just wanted to thank you guys for watching. Let me know in the comments what you think about the new baby. Maybe some name options. George said Hawaii, but we don't think so, but we thought it was cute. I say Garfield. George says no. Rocky, what do you say? I had some clear thought about everything about like just getting another bird and like what people would say and I realized I don't give a damn. Like honestly, I'm so good with these birds and that's it. Like I just put a whole emotional roller coaster and I think Picasso could still come back and I adjusted my like OCD paranoia and said, you know what? Like bringing this bird doesn't change whether or not Picasso will come back. So yeah. So that's it guys. Let me know in the comments so what you think, names, everything.
