 Get up close. Show everybody your face. That's you. Shocking, I know. Hello, my fellow snippers and flighters. My name is Marlene McCohen. Don't forget to subscribe to my channel because I am showing you my life with birds. Why are we at the hair salon? I don't know. I'm just here and like, you know, the camera's an extension of myself. So I said, let's bring it out before we get to the good stuff. Plus, I always love embarrassing Jocelyn. Yeah, hi. She's my go-to girl. But stay tuned because guess where we're going? We're going to see the baby today. And obviously I'll give you a before and after. This is the before. Pretty much this is about as bad as my hair look. There was nothing to see. We'll see the after. What should we do? Curls? I don't know. Okay guys, here's the after. What do you think? What do you think? Guys, guess what? I'm in Varga with Rosie and I just like my pants were bothering me. Okay? I just want to explain. You guys got to come in here. It's like, it's kind of like a pin-up store, but actually not really. They have everything else. Let me just show you how she dressed me. And then we're going to go see the baby bird. But look how beautiful the store is. What do you guys think? You guys got to check it out. Oh, and here's the thing guys. They get bird prints, right? You're going to get bird prints. You're going to get some bird prints for sure. Yeah. And for those of you who love other animals, this is how I knew she'd probably have bird prints. Check it out. She has like all the cat stuff. So we're going to check back next week and see what she got in as far as bird prints. We're holding you to that. Guess what? Now we're going to the bird store. Oh yeah, I do. She puts together some cool stuff. I like it. Again, lens. Yeah. Oh my god, my battery's going to die. I don't even think I charged my other battery. So okay, today when we go to the bird store, though, I'm going to try to answer some questions that you guys have been asking that I didn't realize would come up because, you know, when you're filming stuff by yourself, you don't know the things that people might want to know. So I know it's been quite a few videos already because all my stuff is filmed in advance now. Thank you, my flighters. Not just filmed in advance, but like executed, okay? Like those of you on my Patreon, like some of this stuff goes up five days early. All right, guys. Okay, let's go, let's go, let's go. All right, we're here. I know you guys are just as excited as I am. Every time I go there, this bird grows. I asked you guys on Instagram what questions you would like to know. Sorry for the noise because I realized in the comments that there's some things that are obvious to me, but obviously I need to go over with you guys. So I'm going to try to go over some Instagram questions. I was watching my video back. I like to do that, like get in the excitement with you guys, like kind of, even though I posted it, like watch it after it's out and just see how I feel about it. And I see like this joy in my face, you know? Just this joy that like I get it why some of you are like, you know, you're just been without a spark, without Picasso. And I have. No one will replace Picasso. I think that's George calling to tell me he wants to come. Hello? That's a bird story. Just got here. You want to come? Oh, come because my battery's dying. I'll probably need your thing to film. Okay, bye. Okay, maybe I have a little battery in this new battery. You bum, sure it's going to die. Hurry up, this battery's dying too. Hurry up, hurry, hurry, hurry. The battery's dying. What's up? Look, look how big the bird grew. Is that him, George? That's him. No, it's not. That's not. How do you know? No, it's a different bird. That baby is so, look, I come in. And she's like over there in the corner. Maybe from the same family. No, listen. No, it's not. I don't know. Why is everything so not zoomed in? What's wrong with my phone? We've been emailing and I walk in and she finds me today and then she buys him today. She comes in and gets the other one. Oh, and he was the one that was there? He was the one. I wasn't going to buy. I was looking for a gala. Why are you looking for that? You're insane. I don't know. What's up? Pay, how are you? Give me five. Look who comes to see your baby every day. Oh my God, I didn't. Did you get to see her baby? The baby love bird? Look who's here. Oh, I should do my hands. So you're saying this bird didn't get out of his cage and the other one is a troublemaker that got out of his cage four times. Okay. So you're like, you're not as smart as the other guy, huh? But that's okay. Oh, I'm sorry. Did I offend you? Yeah. Okay. Come over here. I can't. Oh, you're coming. Hi, Brando. Hey, buddy. Where did you get him? Brando. Oh, do you know what they told me about your bird? What? That he's naughty and he broke out of his cage four times already. You can break out of his cage. You can feed him to anything you want to feed him. He's a smart bird from doing that. My office. What are you going to name him? I don't know. I don't know if they used to be on their families. See, for me, I don't care. Look at the difference between them. Yeah, he's bigger. He's like lighter in the face, you see? That's why I think it's a baby. That's why I... Which one is lighter? Yours. Who does love bird in the world? Look at baby mango. How special. Oh, it's a love bird. How special is that bird? Oh my God, look at that little baby. She's been visiting him every day. Everyone wants to know when I can take him home. They have lots of questions just because they want to learn, right? So some things they want to learn. This is the funniest thing ever. Okay. My editor shout out to Chris. He goes, how will you know if it's a male or a female? Because I named it Brando. I go, I don't know. I go, but if it has an orange beak, it'll be a male, you know? And he goes, okay. And I'm like, oh yeah, maybe I should clarify that it's going to change and then change back. So we have some questions. Like they want to know one why I can't feed it, which I don't, not something I want to do, I want to let some professionals do, and how long it takes for a baby bird to get to go home. Okay. Yeah. So number one, you said, why can't you feed it? Yeah. Because to feed it, you have to feed them at the right tempo. You gotta know how to do it or you can't handle it. You know, you can't handle it at all. Yeah. So and they need to be an incubator when they're late. To feed the right tempo. Yeah. So it's stuff that you don't have. True. Yeah. That's what we have to do. And I don't want to get into that stuff. Yeah. Honestly, I just never want to get into that. Well, the baby is here, that way we can watch and we're responsible for him. You know, until he goes home. And what was the other question? The other question is, how long does it take for him to get to go home? So it depends on the bird, but we wait for them to be fully feathered and completely eaten by himself. After that, when the bird is fully feathered and completely, completely eaten by himself, then we let him, we watch him for about five days and we wait, making sure that while he's eating by himself, he's not done. He or she, we don't know. How long does it take to find out exactly if a must-eat pair keeps a male or a female? Well, if you do a DNA test, three weeks. All right. Without a DNA test, maybe like 10 months. Yeah. In about 10 months, your mind is aware. Yeah. Exactly. So how long, until like, how long is that? People want to know. Is that a month? Is that two months? To take a home. To take a home? Is that you like from right now? A must-eat. Since we get on, it's like six to seven years. Yeah. Around there. The bigger the bird, the longer it is. Yeah. If you get an Amazon, you're looking at three months. If you get a Mohawk, you're looking five, even six months. So it really depends on the bird, but each one is different. Even though you could get the same type of bird like, let's say two something years and one goes home a month after. So it depends on them. We give them time and they let us know when. Okay, I got one question. I'm so shocked. Yeah. Why can't you take them off? Soon. Very soon. I want to have it. Guys, I just turned on my Instagram and saw the funny old comet from Pancake Winter White. What's up? He said, will Jersey know it's Picasso or will she start dating? Will you call me? Dating? First of all, I think that Jersey was actually not really with Picasso, but with Jersey. But she loved him. She loved him. But I showed her a video of him and she was like, hi. And she was like, I'm kissing it. Oh, no way. But the thing is that before I turned on the camera, she was really into it, which I didn't get to show because I had to like turn it into my life stuff, you know? This is the crazy old robber. Indigo Moon wants to know does the bird know who hit the jackpot of promise? Do you know that you hit the jackpot of home? Oh, he's listening. He's like, wait. So cute. Ed says George wants to know if I have to hand-feed it when I bring it home. No, probably not. But he might need like a little guide and then with hand-feeding, not like the way they hand-feed it, but just to make sure he doesn't eat on the phone. But they did wait like five days. He said to make sure that the bird knows how to eat on the phone. Beautiful. Beautiful. Beautiful. Oh, you guys are asking about monkey. Monkeys are Jordan's parents. And monkey belongs to the store and lives here. So monkey, that's why Jen, I can't get hungry. Another thing you guys might be wondering, somebody asked me actually, there's something worked in a bird store. I so wanted to do you a shout-out, but my battery's dying and you said you work in a bird store and you wonder about people just coming in and just buying a bird real fast. I thought that was a really good point. Generally, everybody that I meet that watches my videos, they've usually been watching my videos for a while. And other kids that come to my shows or I was like, I want a bird, but I'm not ready. I've been, you know, studying for a long time, watching your videos. I'm like, wow, a new kid just came to this market. Like when I wanted a bird, that kind of stuff wasn't available. So I just want to say, keep doing that, guys. Oh, where does the study that you learn? A bird is not something that you can just go in the store and come out with. Your whole family has to be on board. And actually sitting here every day, I'm seeing so many people coming in with that knowledge, which is amazing. And also I'm sitting here discussing with kids that we see want birds, how hard it is, and educating them as well. So that's been a good opportunity for me too. Look, it's almost time for you to go. Guys, and so some of you are asking me what I meant by, he's a sniffer. It's like birds that get in a sniffer position and they just let you. Yeah, he just lets me sit there and sniffer. Mm-hmm. That's what that is. I'm making this more safe. Good. Let it go. Just into my nails. I bet you're interested in my eyelashes. Remember how I always say none of my birds care about my nails? This one's obsessed. Oh, good. Okay, the other thing is, see, he needs like a toy to replace this behavior right away. Good. Get up close. Show everybody your face. That's you. Shocking, I know. So he smells really good now. And he's the cutest thing in the world. That's a fact. He stretches a lot and just loves him. So I already taught him to step up, which is amazing. I don't want to wear him out too much, you know, because he's still a baby. So like, it's exercise, you know, and I'm stepping up. Are you already going to be the son of a bird that wants to talk on camera? Can I have a kiss?
