 It's not that I'm sad. I'm emotional, but I'm not emotional because she's leaving me. I'm like, I can't do this. I'm just happy she's going somewhere better. My fellow Snifers, Flighters, and Newbies, welcome to my channel. My name is Marlene McConn. We're on our way to the vet. I want to give you more details, but I'm actually late and I need to be there at four and right now the nav says I'll be there at, whoa, at four oh seven. I got to go. I'll give you an update when I park or when I'm waiting. Okay, I have lots to tell you, a lot to tell you. You guys are gonna be like, what? So here it goes. First of all, how gorgeous is this wall? I don't know if I'm gonna film like the doctor, because I don't, I don't put cameras on people's faces, especially vets because they're working, you know. I don't know if you guys know this, you would know if you watch my Instagram, but Fublita, that's the little pudgy, comes here every few weeks, maybe like every month or every three weeks to get a beak trim. She has a split bottom beak. So here's what's happening. You guys haven't seen much of Fublita on the show because she's so tiny that she like flies around the house and hides where my other birds are. And like she can sit, she sits on stands and hangs out too, but I just feel that she needs a better life. She needs somebody who is going to just be able to give her the time that she needs. And ultimately every bird that I have, that's the big goal. I want them to be able to have the time and interaction. And honestly, in my house, it's just not working with her because some of my birds are so large, you know. And I want her to have a friend. I would love her to have another parakeet friend, if that works out. If not, I want her to get all the love and attention that she deserves. So Fublita is getting re-homed. And today we're at the vet for the beak trim, obviously, but also to get paperwork because she's going to be lying out of California. But here is the amazing news. I'm really specific about who birds go to. I mean, I feel like when a bird comes into my care, that's why it takes so long to re-home them is because they have to go to the perfect place. And I found the most perfect companion for Publita. So someone is flying out. I chose this person very specifically. I would not give this bird to anybody that I didn't think would take better care of the bird than me. Let's be honest, she's going to take much better care of Publita. She's going to do better with bonding with Publita. She's going to have more time for Publita and she has parakeets of her own, which she is so incredibly amazing with. So when I told her, I think you're kind of the perfect person for Publita. I didn't think this dream would come true that she would actually have her, but they're flying out here and they're going to take Publita home. And I've already seen Publita's cage set up. It's amazing. It's a dreamland compared to where she is now. That's what I want for her. The best part of all this is that you guys are going to get to follow Publita's journey because she is another fellow YouTuber. Really proud of her. And I really think this is going to be a great fit. So we got our certificate. Yep. Look at all of these guys working hard. Got her in there. Are you ready? Look, I have somebody who wants to meet you. Okay. It's not Brando. You're so cute. Brando, is it the best? It's the best. Come over here. It's like sweet. We have to explain this. You have not explained what's happening. You probably know her. If you don't, you should know her. She's very up and coming and very talented and adorable. You're going to get to follow her and see Publita's life. So introducing Elle from Live Laugh Birds. Go to her channel to see her journey to get here and what it was like when she first came in the house. Because you know, I didn't film that part. She still hasn't met all of the birds. So we're going to introduce her to all of the birds. But why don't you tell them a little bit about your channel and maybe how, how did this happen? Because she does not live in Los Angeles. Okay. She flew here from Chicago, right? Yeah. From Chicago. How windy is it there right now? It's like snowing and there's like five inches of snow. Oh my god. I used to live in Iowa. So I used to go to Chicago a lot. There was the mall and then there was the marina and I just was blew away into the marina. I have a channel called Live Laugh Birds and I basically teach people about how to take care of birds. It's mostly like educational videos. I have four birds right now. I'm about to have five. I have two budgies. I have a cockatiel and I have a green sheet conure named Kermit. My birds are just adorable. You're so cute. I love Brando so much. I've been watching Marlene for four years. Oh my god. Four years. And she's an inspiration. Oh I am so cute. You know what she did? She sent me a video of her parakeet saying hello my sniffers. Yes. I was like I wish you could have Pablita because you would be so amazing with her. You would have more time to interact with her. Pablita would have a friend. You know Pablita I think needs a friend. If she's open to it you will see what she'll see. I trust her. She sent me pictures of the cage. Big beautiful setup. So I want you guys to follow her and follow the journey with Pablita. So now that you know all that information let's watch her meet all the birds. Okay. Does anyone want tea or coffee or anything? I need a drink. I have water. Wait why are you laughing? Look at this. What is this? It's just green tea. Try drinking this. Wait you want to see my loose tea collection? That is loose tea. It's huge. I love loose teas. Check this out. How's her own loose tea? I know. It's the best one. This is amazing. So what kind of tea is this? It's just like green tea. Stop. I love green tea. Do we want this? Do you guys want to drink it now? Of course. Yeah of course. This is how I have to do everything with this guy. Who are you most excited about meeting? Well you better say Brando. Brando is like you. All right so Brando makes all the other birds jealous. Okay. But still let's first meet Iluca. Your zoo guys should go on her channel for her first reaction to seeing some of these birds. You're so cute. But I'm going to introduce her now to the ones that she hasn't met. Okay so I'm going to bring you Vinny are you ready? Vinny stay right there. Yes. Vinny get it. Because he sensed like the nerves and I ran so he came after me. It's never flown up here. So this is Vinny. Vinny. Vinny this is Elle. Yeah. Two three come on there. Help me out. I just love your flashy ways baby baby. How was I supposed to know that something wasn't right? Yeah. And then you can let him in. Vinny tell them to come in. Did you see he brought all those lemons? My mom is Johnny and he waits for Johnny to come out of the room and he goes Johnny come here. Johnny come Johnny. Yeah he goes I see him. You see him? And I've heard Johnny many times running down the hallway with Vinny chasing him. I'm going to hold Vinny for two reasons. One we have another bird in the mix. Yeah. So they're both going to be jealous of each other. Okay. And two Vinny if you never want a bird to bite your lip it's the worst feeling. Yeah. And every bird you ever meet is unpredictable and so you know that. Does that make sense? Yeah. I didn't even introduce you to Merlin and Cody. Down the staircase. I just want to teach you something real quick. Okay. Birds have flight patterns. I know Vinny wants to fly up here. I'm technically blocking his flight pattern like he mentally knows like he can't just take off. So this is like a way to get up. Technically once I get here there's so much more open space that he can still take off. You don't have to be that in tune with them. Like there's a good chance I'll lose him right over here because I can't. Right? It's Cody. Yeah. Hi Cody. You're so cute. You're so cute. Do you hear blue? Okay come down. I probably have to go get blue down. Oh there you go. Kind of unofficial. I brought the bird up here right now to kind of just introduce her to the bird and kind of you know talk to her a little bit about the bird. More so she knows all this but obviously so you guys can see too what's going on. Is this Puglita? Are you excited? Yeah. Yeah. You're a big time bird. You're moving to Chicago from Los Angeles. You know what I mean? You're gonna show up on the scene. You're gonna show them your little beak and you're gonna be like yeah I know I'm special. Is it like a backpack? It's a bag. Yeah it is a backpack. Stop. It's a backpack for birds. Oh my god. This is so cute. I know it's called a packo bird. That's what she's gonna travel home in and then we've also got a cage for her to stay at the hotel. I don't know if I have any birds that fit in this size but. Brando would. You think? Yeah. I don't know. Brando's like a cockatiel size. He's so cute. Oh my god. He wants maybe Brando's a she. Look at Brando. Brando's a she. This just proves guys a lot of you were like you spilled the beans. I'm like no I didn't. I honestly didn't know. I just always called her a he or a she or whatever until we didn't know so but I realized that everything is taken very seriously. Oh we're gonna witness their first introduction. Okay so I'm just gonna like start by feeding her millet if she wants it. I'm not gonna put my hand in there and ask her to step up but it looks like she doesn't want it right now. I think she's a little stressed right now. I mean she also just got moved up to like here like you know. Yeah I don't want to lose trust but you can leave the millet in so that she can understand that. Yeah the other birds like teach each other how to do things like Mike on your Kermit like he uses a foraging toy and then Pearl will like use the foraging toy too and Kermit basically like teaches her to do things that she wouldn't do on her own. I didn't even teach Pearl to do so yeah maybe Pearl will come on step up on me and then probably till we'll see that and then. Oh for sure. Yeah the beginning my friend that gave her to me was working with her and this guy doesn't really know anything about birds particularly but he was like giving her neutra berries and she would come on his hand and everything like that so she just needs a little more time to be like in the calm environment because she gets spastic all over again you know she just needs time. And guys budgies deserve to be engaged not caged just as much as larger birds. Some people don't realize that and keep their budgies and cages all the time. You know and they don't they don't make a lot of complaints you know and like we have to be the voice of the birds. They're just as intelligent as the large parrots and they need to be let out they need to be worked with and you can train a budgie just like you can a larger bird. My little budgies like they fly to me on command they do the recall they do tricks they can do anything they're just as deserving of love and attention and it's really sad because people impulse by them because they're so cheap anyone can get a budgie and nobody really like knows you know how much potential these birds have. Budgie awareness needs to be more communicated because they're awesome little birds. Hashtag budgie awareness. I was just gonna say she should have her own hashtag budgie awareness. Yeah. Little budgies like they don't really like want me to sniff them like they I'm not saying she assumes sniffer position okay she doesn't exactly assume sniffer position but she smells really good you can like hold her like you know I always steal the sniff even with blue when I'm holding blue. My pioneer Kermit he just like he'll sit on my shoulder and he'll just actually like get into the sniffer position I'm telling you he's like he like nozzles against me and I can just like put my nose right under him and he's just like so easy to sniff. Go potty go potty right now stretch we're both stretching together. They always like raise their wings. Now go potty yeah do the big stretch mommy's doing the big stretch too now do the potty more stretches oh my god so much stretching to do stretch oh we're doing yoga now. Very short I got a call from a friend who found a bird and needs help finding the bird home but he can't like obviously take care of a bird so until we find the home I see this is why I can't be a public speaker because everything makes me emotional but it's time it's time for Publita to go to her new home she may be renamed which I'm okay with so I'm really happy for her I'm sad it's not that I'm sad I'm emotional but I'm not emotional because she's leading me I'm like I can't do this I'm just happy she's going somewhere better so but honestly like I don't have like a hard time letting her go at all like I she needs better so and Jersey's in the background like freaking out she's like what's happening what is going on here she's like alerted already right Jersey you know in the wild cockatoos alert they actually can alert the forest of fires okay so are you ready yeah they're so cute I don't know have you made all of our birds oh my god please get the reaction oh totally I'm gonna when she's done with quarantine I'm gonna do my bird's reaction to meeting all of my birds yeah and entering the bird room yeah oh my god that's gonna be funny oh she's gonna eat did she eat already she was reaching for it you're so cute do you have any names picked up I have not eaten yet I don't know yet you don't know so cute she's gonna be so happy with our birds oh she's gonna be really happy I'm gonna train her are you crying my god are you crying no are you crying no you're crying no I'm not crying you're crying you just cried it's okay my it's okay yeah it's okay no I'm really happy you're gonna be amazing it's okay she's going to us take Brando back if you don't mind oh my god do you want to go in there too oh no game is Jersey I'm a donut feet
