 Okay, so I separated them. Yeah, and then Nellie came over and she wanted to be on me and that didn't really work Sliders and newbies. My name is Marlene McCohen. This is Monty and welcome to my channel Okay, so listen I'm hiding in this room because we're gonna do something really cute and fun And I think you guys will enjoy it and it's gonna be all about rocky and I know you guys love rocky So I hope you're gonna enjoy this but before we get to it. I want to give you some backstory. This right here is a dog Crate and rocky he used to have one and like he chewed it all up and he just loved it and now whenever he sees Even the littlest crate do you remember in the video when Christina brought over the moustache parakeet evy Rocky literally went into her pink carry-on like so tiny So I decided to surprise rocky and get him one of these today But I need to talk to you guys about a few things first. Okay, the reason birds or Especially rocky likes this crate and things like this is because it stimulates Nesting behavior a little bit in rocky's case actually in rocky's case. He more so loves to go in there and Sing so that's what I'm really hoping that he's gonna do sometimes it can be kind of controversial Giving birds Nesting materials, but I just want to clear up some things for you guys first of all rocky is a male So he is at no risk of egg binding or laying any eggs So that's the first thing that you need to know So with males you would want to worry about aggressive behavior rocky He was locked up in his cage for 10 years He does have some aggression issues But he has lots of other places in the house that he behaves towards And it doesn't really make him any more aggressive If you really know how to manipulate light therapy with your birds, then you could pretty much get through hormonal season easy breezy I think light therapy is something that we probably should talk about in a video because it's a really natural way Of just helping them through their hormonal periods You guys see in my videos that everyone almost talks about how quiet and chill my birds are I don't really have so many issues with birds being hormonal I do have Vinny flying down at his boxes But I got to be honest because I see a lot of comments about this Vinny doesn't just do that all day long This is something that Vinny likes to do. It's kind of fun He has a personality where he loves to play that game with George And I do play it up for videos because come on it never gets old But I know my birds really really well. Vinny is the sweetest sweetest of birds And when I say that rose-breasted cockatoos are aggressive what I really mean as moody They just give you like the sweetest one minute and then kind of like very territorial the next minute So it is something natural to their behavior But anyway, I just had to put a few of those disclaimers in because sometimes people leave comments when they don't really watch an entire video Or they don't watch my other videos and they don't know full story So, um, I just want you guys to know that so George doesn't know what I got for Rocky So I'm gonna put Monty away and then I'm gonna bring this out and we're gonna see what his reaction is Okay, here we go. Rocky's all washed up Rocky just had a shower Rocky. I got you a present. What do you think it is? Are you excited? That means he doesn't know are you excited? Yay, you're excited. Why are you excited? Do you know what it is? No, I don't but you've been kind of like holding it back for me too. So I'm excited too. Okay Oh, Rocky wants to know. Okay. Okay Mom Mom wanted to see Rocky's reaction. She didn't believe me. Mom. Don't you want to see Rocky's reaction? For those of you new to my channel Rocky was locked in a cage for 10 years Not by any malice or anything like that, although it sounds pretty bad What happened was he was with a bird owner who's amazing with birds She had two macaws Rocky and another bird and She was great with Rocky for about seven years He was her baby and then the female macaw laid an egg and that obviously made Rocky pretty hormonal And he wasn't really interested in that female at all and he bit her one day and she couldn't get Rocky off And he just kept biting on and both of them got scared of each other because of the way she like went like this you know to get him off and Whenever she approached his cage. He was very scared So they basically had a hard time with each other and then he started liking the husband and then eventually He didn't come out anymore. So he was locked up for 10 years You can also just put that on the bottom of the hair. It was like a real scripture for them to read and that's it I'm sorry. What have what input have you ever had on my video? Okay, you know like don't talk just make everyone read. Yeah, he's gonna receive this gift Oh So i'm gonna get it and then i'm gonna put the camera on here so we could see I wish I had more light in this hallway I guess I should take this off He's like Rocky, can I keep it? Can I take it away? Here i'm gonna put it here and see it's like He's telling you to put him down. He doesn't know how to jump down here Look mom look he's gonna talk watch. Yeah He's gonna talk i'm gonna sing in there and it's checking it all out measuring it mom mom didn't believe me I'm like she's like how I don't understand how you know, he's gonna want this thing I'm like believe me and thank you to Sasha over at Petco for building it for me. Rocky. We want you to sing He's checking the dimensions He's like I'll contract this part out stretch this kitchen out over here. Yeah Are you gonna love me more since I got you this? This is some hardcore stuff Yeah, I almost came home with an igly but then I was like where's that gonna go Yeah, like if you close him in there and you cover it he'll sing How do I know because he goes and sings in small spaces So like he goes in there anytime he goes in a small space Yeah, I need to sing you see the problem is I can't fit inside there with him Listen George, you can't like actually marry the bird but what's going on Rocky The problem is guys I want I want to not talk So you can hear him talk But he likes to talk when I talk If you know what I mean like me talking makes him talk. Oh, he loves whispering every night when I put him in a bed I go I think he's starting to blush a little bit. Do you guys see Rocky's white and black toes? Look how gorgeous Rocky's feathers are by the way the black honest feathers. They're just wet Those are wet feathers. He just came out of the shower. Let's go see what the other birds are doing All right, let's see what everyone's doing. Is Jersey sleeping? El cray cray over here. You want to hear Nelly talk? He has lipstick all over her Hi, baby. You're beautiful. You're beautiful. Okay. I just want you guys to see do you see this blinking this slow blink that Nelly does? Yeah, she's like an old Hollywood actress, you know, that's like flirting and Trying to make you love her much She does this like face Like oh, I'm so beautiful Monty he's like an angry ex. He's the angry ex-husband. Right Monty We have Cody. Cody's in here temporarily because my mom was cooking for the first time in eight years That's right. It's about 10 now. It's like eight months Well, maybe 10 months. Who cooks for you? Daddy. Yeah, but I clean up true He's a good cook. What do you think of the the bird loving the present? I'm very shocked because honest to god When you were telling me in the store that he was gonna go in there. I thought I don't think so But he just went right in there. It's cute. She's gonna occupy him. What about my baby? What about my baby? Who is the prettiest? You'll see that my birds are all outside of their cages Hanging out you have to create an environment that you can handle like you never want to have more birds Then you can actually handle and even if you're not like having them all on your shoulder You have to have stands where the birds can all hang out Let's say Leo was a bird that I don't know didn't like me wanted a bite That doesn't matter that doesn't mean he has to be in this cage like a big stand just like this one Birds can just hang out on it's not about their relationship with you. The first thing is really about how You are improving their life. That's the most important thing. Oh and Vinny is literally in a box right now So like I don't even know he's just in here You could hear him and then once dinner's ready. Cody's gonna come out and eat with us But he like tries to like guard the kettle and he won't let my mom near the side of the kitchen over here He's obsessed with this side of the kitchen. So he just like won't let anyone there and it's just like It's not even about small spaces. He just he thinks that's his kitchen Like you can't open any drawers. You can't open any cupboards like so in a little bit I'll show you how he is with his little tent. It's so cute There goes my mom. She starts off very mom like I made dinner and she's like get it up yourself Look you made dinner. I did. I made a beautiful soup for them We're gonna rice have to call dad and tell him what you did There is pictures you can send a video. We will Have me dinner. This is me dinner. This is me dinner. I just cooked me dinner How does it feel that there's a camera always on you mom? As long as I look good Hey, left his underwear here the last time it was there was a big like mystery who owned the big underwear Yes, you did know about the mystery We had a room before from 8 I thought Danny threw his underwear there and like to give something for You thought my brother put his underwear in Rocky's cage. I know it was kind of weird I was like no way you would have done that but whatever, you know, okay guys, so this is really weird We come downstairs and my brother's underwear is in Rocky's cage Okay, and like if that wasn't suspicious enough my brother walks by and goes. Oh my god There's my underwear. I was looking for him. We're like you didn't give that to him Basically, my brother loves Rocky So he was hanging out with Rocky a lot and Rocky loves fabric, especially anything that's red Or orange and Rocky, I guess stole it from my brother's room And then took it into his cage and then like puked on it. So He already broke it Okay, I'm gonna put some toys in there for you. Let's see the exact same thing. This is why He just plays there. He never even gets aggressive or anything Harry, what do you think of all this? Are you a pretty doggie? It's together You want more? Okay, I'll do more. Do you want a different song? Different beats? Yeah See how he changes it and matches me He's so smart Guys, this is my mother. Do you know what I just got? Banister cleaning next day. Oh my god, Marlene. Do you know what I just got you? A very Special what do you call it mom countertops? What do you call it? Marlene? Do you know what I just got you today? Granite cleaning powder, especially for your granite countertops What'd you ask for? I'll show you how to use it. Hey, mom Do you think you could get me like a corner cleaner just to clean certain corners of the walls? Oh, yeah, you know where they have it. I'll tell you where they have that Nellie. Okay, so I separated them Yeah, and then Nellie came over and she wanted to be on me and that didn't really work Oh to show you kind of like an evening with the bird rocky loves to sing I hope you could hear a little bit of that birds kind of like to match their flock calls So a lot of times they'll be really quiet until I talk because then they start Trying to match the activities. So most of the time when I want him to sing I gotta sing or I gotta talk too, which then makes it hard for you guys to hear It's the same with Vinny. A lot of people are like, why are you talking over him?
