 Hello, my fellow flighters, sniffers, and hatchlings. My name is Marlene McCohen. Welcome to my channel. You want to stick around and see this video today. We are actually about to do a rescue. Just have a scene where you're drinking your coffee and go get yourself done up so that way you look decent enough to be on film. It's 8 p.m. I'm gonna put makeup on right now. What kind of meeting is this going on over here? Is this a meeting of where my phone is? And did you guys just make a mess on my couch? It's, what? You sound like an operator. We are going into the bird store, the perfect parrot. I thought that I should probably tell you guys this before we get in there because a lot of you can be against bird stores. And I understand some of your reasonings and some of your feelings. And I just want to show you a little bit about behind the scenes of how hard some bird stores work. Most bird stores that I know to not only rescue birds, but find bird's owners to provide the community with lots of information. So many rescues that I've been a part of have been through a bird store and the bird stores community. The bird is lonely because the bird has lost its mate and it's a flighted bird. So let's go meet the bird. Thank you. You, not so much, I don't know about you. So you're just here to get your fix? No. What are you here for? To get you a bird. Which one do you want? Don't... Listen, I know the ring is strong, like there's some power, but I don't know if I could get a bird. Hi Cadillac, what's going on? You thinking? Hi. And now you want to say hi? Hello. Yeah, I knew that would do it for you. Hi Cadillac. Hi Cadillac. Hello. You look so cuddly, are you? Hi. I think you must be. Hi Cadillac. Hi Cadillac. How are you? Yeah. How are you doing? Have enough of us already? Bye bye. I would spend summers with my grandparents in Northern Michigan and they live in a little town called Lake City and the big city right next to it was called Cadillac. And in Cadillac, there was a pet store there and they always had a minor bird and the minor birds always talk. That was my first memories of dealing with a bird was going in to talk to the minor bird in Cadillac. So when we got him, that was his name. I didn't even have to think about it. So he's your bird, he's not for sale. Yeah, he's not for sale. Oh my god, you can cuddle him and pet him? Yep. One day after hours, we can come see that. Yep. Once you come see it, we'll let him hop around and... But if we bring him out, when the other birds are around, he just terrorizes them. I do that. Bye bye bye bye. You're a terrorizer, Cadillac. Look at you making complaints over here. What? What do you want from me? Oh yeah. You look good. How old is he? He's about four months old. Say hi, Jarvis. Say hi. They're really sweet birds. They get really attached to like one person and they're very playful when they want to be, but not so much with toys. If that makes sense. Say hi, yeah. Look at how beautiful the blue tail is. I know. Oh yeah, that bird loves you. Are you planning on taking him home first? I actually already have a roof house. So I don't know if I can have two. Oh my God, stop with the cuteness. They're called Voron's black cats, which is an opaline mutation of the black cat gone here. And these are two little girls. Yeah, these are the ones that were jumping out of the cage on our Instagram. What? Are you too old for that now? You're too cool. I would name them Ruth and Ginsburg. They're little lacy collars, right? These guys just came in today. Oh wow. So that's a sunshade. Not sure what colors you guys are yet. Oh, this is very big. This one's a different, oh, that's a lighter one. That's a mint. What is it, are you a minty? Are you a sage? Oh no, I like this. This is a bit for babies. Yeah. What are these going to be? They look like turquoise. They're all green cheeks. There's a lot of turquoise. Look at their little feathers aren't even in. Oh my gosh. I see, I thought you'd like to see that. Oh, what are you doing? I had to hold them back so we could pull them up to feed them. They were like little piratas. And as soon as they go in the cage, they're fine. But the turquoise is the reason when they, ha ha, you guys already ate this morning. You're not due to eat for another like two hours. You're crazy little cats. That's crazy. Look at the personality. All my birds got personality. I like that. You know what she said to me one time? She said to me the funniest thing one day, she's always inquisitive and she goes, how is it that in all of those birds, because they rescue, how did you not get one duck? I don't know, because birds, because they all have their own little personality, you know? They do, they do. Oh that was funny, one duck. So when you brought Brando, when you got Brando, was she like this? Did you not watch my channel? I haven't seen the Brando one, sorry. Hey guys, you ready? So this is, she gave me a list of all the things he says. No way, what does he say? He says, Rico suave. Suave. Good bird, poop. What's going on Rico boy? What's up fella? Ribbit, give me a kiss, give me a carrot. Pretty bird, pretty boy. He's been wolf whistling at me. Look at him, he's like his little, little thing. So you wanna tell us about Rico? Rico's about 12 years old. He belongs to one of my customers. He was with another male Linny, but the other male Linny died a couple of weeks ago. And she called me yesterday, she was really concerned that he was lonely being by himself. So asked me to find him a home. I thought you might know someone who would be one. Did you give Rico a home? I do know someone who would give Rico the perfect home. What you doing with this one? Another friend, you know? Rico? Rico. You know what? Rico's, okay. Suave. And Rico talks a lot, and Rico is 12 years old. They really only live about 15 years, and his mates died, and he's lonely and needs other birds to play with. What are you doing? I'm here so you're gonna bring this one home? If you think this is chaotic, wait till you get home. Okay Rico, it's gonna come home. It's not for me. Danny? No. Who were they before? Oh, Megan? Yes. It's actually one of Megan's dream birds. Oh, this one? It's so cute. I thought that was a reaction. He was born in May of 2009. He is a linoleated parakeet. They estimate to live about like 15 years, right? Yes. 15 years, so he's kind of a senior. How funny is it, guys, if I told you that a blue, well, a turquoise, linoleated parakeet is Megan's dream bird? She posted on Twitter a week ago. Not kidding you. Then Kim called me with this situation, thinking of me, but Megan is going to be the perfect home. Megan, I ran, of course, you never wanna buy a bird for anyone, or you never wanna rescue a bird for anyone, and it'd be a surprise. So Megan knows about this, but she does not know that I have him today. She has never met him, and she's really excited that he's a senior bird, and she's really excited to give him all the love that he needs. So Kim tells me that linoleated parakeets and vats are the most entertaining things you could ever see. So we're gonna check that out. It's gonna be on your best video. We're gonna surprise Megan with him, but she knows. She knows, but she doesn't know it's happening now. Okay. I will, thank you. Here we go, guys. You'll never believe it.
