 look at the camera isn't it so nice well don't look too much who is this you want to be on this mask you have to come home with me to do that if i had a macaw like you i would name you tj silvers it's not yucca it's not yucky they ask you how you are you just have to say that you're fine you're not really fine but you just can't get into it hello my fellow snippers blighters and hatchlings guess what we are about to do something really fun i took a detour i wasn't planning on doing this today i am outside of the perfect parrot i thought i would get a little unmasked moment with you guys because of course when i go in there i'm going to be all masked up in this beautiful mask in our store on parent station but what's really fun is going into bird stores maybe we'll get to meet some birds that you guys haven't seen before i don't know obviously i won't be sniffing on them and kissing on them but let's just see what they have in there i'm meeting some friends here who are going to come along there they are right now my one friend anna loves animals so that's why she's down to come to the bird store today and michelle's always down to do whatever we're doing so that's the mojo here we go let's mask up all right all right all right okay masking up just so you guys know like the originals of these masks were like really tight on some people and now they're longer so i have to put a knot on one side but they're in our store and i love them oh no i knew there was something about this i just messed up my car i knew this is the spot i parked in last time anna's gonna be very excited to see some of these i'm about to die are you about to die look at how beautiful they are look how gorgeous okay he was looking at me the this guy right here what is what is that called let's see what kind of business oh okay this guy i think we we became friends and he was leaning forward like he wanted me to touch him or pick him up but i don't know what to do well he's pretty big so you wouldn't make an attempt with me come over look at how beautiful looking look at how beautiful that's been beautiful do you want to come here please well yes i think i could let me think about it you want to come home with me we can cuddle i'm totally ready to cuddle with you you want to cuddle beautiful eyes look at you playing with the best boys in the world how are you doing we're good how are you tell us more about joey from friends in the world yeah how are you doing hello you want to say hi to anna how are you doing isn't he cute hi baby look how gorgeous you are hi baby oh you're so delicate are you like my nails uh-oh are you so beautiful are you so like one thing you guys never want to do is move fast at a bird see it came to me and like i had like a sense of it wasn't like i love the little tongue yeah do you want to hold the bird yeah see me in this hand okay look i'm using a decoy look where the nails are all over here come always keep calm the bird's very inquisitive a lot of it anna loves animals so she's willing to take a hit to the hat it'll be a great story i'll tell everybody up here in my hat i don't obviously anna doesn't come over my house i don't i need to come over more yeah i'll just have eight yeah okay that's actually you can't do that i actually need to wear this oh my god he's knolling my ear oh my god this is a very gentle bird i usually only let men that take me out to dinner do that honey oh my goodness i don't know why i don't have enough left this in my life what kind of bird is this good job you both don't know what to do i know beautiful right yes these are like this female look like this the males are green beautiful now you just gotta do it with confidence you can't get scared or the bird will fall telling me she's telling me that's like this pulling she exactly will tell you right here see you want to establish control with a bird because otherwise they like they'll be chewing my shirt and this and that but if i go oh no you don't have a choice you're stepping up and they then they understand that's a good girl yeah you're gonna relax the shoulder you can always relax because they have their own sense of balance in this situation two things you could do you could either kneel down calmly and then the bird will step onto the perch you'd have to like sit down or i can take the bird for you but the bird's really excited about okay okay no no you're good you're good okay there we go all right look at the camera isn't it so nice well don't look too much who is this you want to be on this mask you have to come home with me to do that if i had a macaw like you i would name you tj silvers okay guys because i can never resist and i know they destroy them in two minutes but i love buying these at our local bird stores for kody and merlin because you know merlin likes his tent i got him in the look wow that's my finger well for you he obviously destroys it and just so you guys know um you don't have to put if you are trying to avoid cloth impaction for birds that chew it you don't have to put this part in it michelle's here she's gonna help me choose one for merlin because merlin's her favorite boyfriend bird okay let's see what we have here amazon one oh that one's pretty good but merlin like camo he might kind of fits it kind of does it merlin should we go like this one i think so i think it screams merlin and what do we want to get for kody i like the pink one for kody i like oh well if you look at you of course you'd of course i like it too yeah let's get those okay i was thinking of getting a cute little thing for the finches they want their privacy i can tell yes but i don't know what to get for them i wonder if i hung this because they wouldn't really chew it would they but people are avoiding is like the fuzzies for the birds that chew see all this fuzzy you want to have things made out of cotton and stuff look at you look what i did look at you i did it all by myself what do you think was the main thing i'm getting that bird on you right when you told me to put my arm right there so there's no option but to step up yeah that's right so i did that that'll work yeah it worked and now she won't get down and well that's another skill how to get them down okay so do you want the bird down or no yeah let's figure it out now just because my arms getting tired and they're heavy huh yeah okay so with birds like that birds prefer to step up than step down oh so you gotta get away as you could get lower okay okay okay so this is like you now have yourself hold this michelle you now have michelle's got so much to hold you now have yourself at a difficult angle for the bird to step up so you want to be parallel okay and once you get the bird the bird's really obsessed she's really letting my jacket but you're still above the perch do you see yeah okay so now go closer gotta come closer okay okay that's not working for you because it's just because she's not paying attention i think okay so you're gonna have to have more control which means this has got to go and michelle's are just kidding like a tiktok video i did it i did it that's it you have to have more control so you didn't have the other thing in your hand and you're feeling like this and then she looked and then all of a sudden she saw divert the attention and let me help you pour michelle over here fantastic job michelle you're next here give me all that okay do you want to practice step up with this beautiful motha oh that one or you want to oh well we know that you're good with african look at this now once once they're on your arm lift up remove them away from their place now that looks like bc that finger's not strong enough that bird needs two fingers there you go you have to keep their weight in mind and physics okay now do you want to practice putting the bird down okay go back go to a comfortable spot okay lower lower than the first or lower than the first and perpendicular always got to be perpendicular well okay there you go good job sometimes i forget how hard it is for people to also put birds back you're such an expert it's well no it's just it's not even that it's just like honestly forgetting that these are important things too so for the finches we have what this one this one what do you think yeah this one's pretty good let's go with this one what kind of bird is this michelle african gray uh-huh how do you know but it looks what's different about this african gray the head seems smaller okay but what's very significantly different about this african gray look at the face uh-huh what's different about the face it looks like smaller i don't know okay look at the color of something that's very different on this gray the eyes are different yep do you know why no because this is a baby oh so the eyes are still gray i would love to take you home and call you my own and name you garfield all right guys so that was the perfect pair we're gonna go home and see how the birdies love our stuff so should we give him his tent yeah merlin do you want your chance you know merlin we expected something a little different of you
