 Mama Kips? Waaah! Tars? So, my friends, fellow Snifers, I'm back at it again with hacking her YouTube or hijacking. Marlene used the word hijacking and I kind of like it better because she now knows I'm on her YouTube so I'm just taking over a little bit. So, today I'm going to do a short video of Parent Tip Tuesday and I have Leo here eating out of this bowl which has a lot to do with my tip. Every bird parent has a different routine in the morning or even a routine at night. So, what we like doing is feeding our birds at night before they go to bed, switching out their seeds because they tend to wake up at like 4 or 5 in the morning and eat. So, none of us are really awake during that time. So, that's one routine that we all do. What I do with the birds when I babysit them and what Marlene does is a little bit different because I learned all my ways through my sisters so it's not that different, it's just I guess what's more convenient. What I like doing is waking up in the morning and waking them up and giving them some treats. So, I definitely try to be colorful. I usually have a cucumber too, he's so upset. When I cut up all these vegetables and these fruits and sometimes I throw in nuts in there, anything that I have to have a good breakfast for them and just kind of make my mornings go a little bit smoother because when I make breakfast and they see me eat they get hungry. Obviously, I want to share with all of them but sometimes there's not enough. So now this is my way of like having my breakfast, giving them a little bit and then on top of that have their own breakfast. So when I do feed them breakfast, I like to get a separate bowl. They have their bowl with their seeds and pellets but I like having kind of like a breakfast slash snack bowl. The reason I like doing this is because we obviously can't leave fruit or vegetables or any type of treat that you want to give them in their cage for too long. I'm going to put them here. I'll show you what he's on in a second. So having in a separate bowl, not with the seeds and not with the pellets, I think really easy to handle because you have to take out all this stuff and throw it away after a certain amount of time because they're not interested or they don't want it anymore. It's going bad and it's attracting flies that you don't want in your house or in the bird's cage. I just take this out, dump it away, rinse it, clean it and then let it dry. I just think it's great. Another thing is what they're good for is like right now you just saw him in this video with me and it's good to have it here. So like if he is hanging out around me, I can make sure he has food and water. You could have water in this and then he has food and water. Another thing is, Marlene got, I don't know where this came from or when she got this but this is genius. I swear, it's like a, I don't even know what it's really for but because I'm an animal fanatic, I swear it just looks like a dog bowl where it's like here's the food and here's the water but obviously we don't use it for our dogs. Oh my god, it's probably for dip. We don't dip, do we? I've been using it for the birds especially when I hang out with them upstairs. So I put a little water here and a little bit of food here and you can come to it whenever. Anyway, my next tip is, is a bird stand but small enough to be on a table. I bought this for Paco. It was genius because sometimes a regular stand isn't close enough so like I could be doing homework like this. I put the food bowl right here and they crawl down and they play and it's really useful. Like Marlene definitely does this when she edits. She has this specific thing by her when she edits and so Cody likes it, Picasso likes it, Leo likes it. I don't know if Jersey likes it too much. Jersey's more of like she's gonna be on your shoulder or on your lap. One last thing, I wanted to do a shout out to Liz, our good friend, sent us a toy for Jersey and I just love it. I mean it's real, and Picasso's gonna love this too because it's small enough for him and thank you, I love this. This is beautiful colors. Just so light, so simple, gonna make her day when she sees this. So that is my parent tip Tuesday. My breakfast bowls or snack bowls or hanging out bowls and then also the stand which is fabulous and I recommend anyone who has a bird and they work at a desk all the time and just need something right there for them especially if they're chill or like also guys look at my crazy nails. I tried this like ombre status of a nail. This one is sparkly. I'm not really into acrylic. It's too long. I feel a little extra, but I'll keep you guys updated on what I do with my nails next because I like to be creative with them. I hope you guys enjoyed this video. Give it a thumbs up.
