 Mark and Michelle, this is a great story. We have the video of that rescue effort, and take a look. We have Millie here, the 10-year-old African Grey, and her owner, Artudo, who tells me he is eternally grateful to the people who helped rescue Millie, and it wasn't an easy task. My fellow Snippers, for those of you following the story with the African Grey stuck in the drain, you can watch the first episode. I'll put the link below. My name is Marlene McCohen, and we are on our way for day two of this African Grey rescue. We're hopefully coming back with new tools, new toys, and just praying that we get this bird out today. We're gonna stop at an RC hobby shop to get a car. I might be able to handle it. I spoke to the guy, he said he has something that might work. And then we're also gonna go to Home Depot and pick up some things, just a little bit of supplies and stuff that will help us also as well. They definitely don't have the bird out yet. I don't know if it's of value to bring other tools or not. See the idea is right now, we have all the capabilities getting everything we need at this very moment. I don't wanna be there and trying to figure things out with what we have. I wanna come up with a conclusion now that I know for sure there's a hundred percent that I'm gonna get the bird out. So if they get the bird out beforehand, fine. But I know that whatever I'm bringing is gonna be the solution. Well they're saying because the signal basically bounces around in a conveying area. It's gonna be hard to keep signal when you get out there. We already have good camera signal from the other thing that's the best camera we've got. No, no, that doesn't work anymore. It will today. No, it broke. You don't think they fix it by now? No. Okay guys, this is kinda crazy, literally. They don't have the right car at all but when the guy found out what we're trying to do, he was like, my dad's a plumber, I have the snake and the guy also has an African gray coincidentally but even more coincidentally, he's friends with a family friend and we've all been at the same functions. This is crazy. And we're trying to figure out a solution to get. I mean, we're like, you know, you know, Marlene, I don't know if you know Marlene, but she has like a YouTube channel and she like, you know, promotes like, you know, stuff with birds and somebody came to her, one of her fans, saying something about the bird and so we went there yesterday and literally we spent like 16 hours there trying to get this bird out. We got so close. We had the plumbing thing. We got up to, and the plumbing thing that we had was 125 feet but it actually got stuck at about 100 feet and right where the bird is, it says like a hump and like the bird just stood on that hump and didn't move from there. And we couldn't get past that hump as well. Yeah, it's a, you know the street sewers for the rain tunnels. You wanna see a picture? This is about 120 feet from here. That's what it looks like underneath. That's a lot of room. Yeah, there's a lot of room, but at some point it gets, okay, this is one entrance, this is the other entrance. The bird is closer to here but we put that thing down here only finally when we got the one from Home Depot, that's when, but we couldn't get it. Like it got stuck right around here. A few feet in front of the bird. If we push it, the bird will walk right out. That's ours. I wanna see what you're saying. The bird's been there now three days. It's actually a lot more room than I thought. A car that actually worked. It keeps losing signal. They had other cars. We also had like Hope for Pause there, another YouTube channel that like rescues animals and their car lost animal. It was only those, we knew we needed a plumber or we needed like he does smart homes to get into the attics and like that's our only option. How old is African Grey? She's had it 10 years. Do you have an African Grey? We do. Are you a bird person? No, she doesn't like it. She likes my brother though. Stop. That's for her. Oh, well, I got a bike today from one of my birds. Yes, it goes into, it just basically will have a lot of space to play with, yeah. So the car thing is not an option and it seems like the plumbing thing, they're still trying to figure out if it's even long enough. George told him he's willing to pay for him to come out so we'll see. It's a little life. He's like even his thing, it's like it's gonna move all over the place. It's not gonna actually get across and because it's so wide, it's just gonna travel all over the place. It has its own stick that moves it over but it won't do it. It's like eight inches, yes, but if it's four feet because of the wideness, it's just gonna go all over the place and it's just gonna get stuck in there. It's gonna actually turn back and come back at you. He said another thing would be, DWP has these things but they're expensive. It's like a remote control device but it's not remote control, it's actually a wire device and it has an arm, an articulating arm that actually will grab and do things. And DWP carries this, it's like 50 grand but there's people that rent it. But I don't know where you get it from but I'm looking at how to convert an RC car to a wire. So guys, we have all these guys here coming up with brilliant ideas so we'll have some new ideas. Really? Right? Brilliant. Yeah, we're gonna try it. It'll be more simple to interference because you're gonna have more bouncing around. Right. Why don't you just give it a try? I'll try it. But you're gonna have to hurry up because it burns. Yeah, we've got it. Get off work at seven, gotta go home. Don't take me a bit. You guys were just... But I know what you're talking about. He's locked up. Oh, yeah. He's gone to a certain point and he's just shut down. You can't even, you can't even entice him with food at that point. No. Okay. This is an option. Okay, so this is what he has at home and it has some like suspension. So, this would scare the bird out because it's nice and wide. Yeah. Okay. The guy does only two. Thank you. We'll see you in a bit. Bye. Thank you guys. Good luck. Good luck. Good luck, guys. Thank you. Thank you. Keep a little bit more. There, yeah. Now push it. There we go. She's moving. Yeah. Just leave it. I think right there is right next to her. We'll take our moment to get used to it. Oh, we gave her. She had this thing next to her for half an hour. Right next to her. She didn't go to her? She couldn't know what's curious. She looked at it. Let's hope with the fresh fruit and cheetos. So you said you already had that close to her and she didn't even go get anything. You're trying to get done? No, no. She's just messing with you. That's why you see nobody cares anymore because they know she's just playing with us. She's playing games. I don't know if you guys can see, but there she is. And this is the tray of food with some glue that if she goes in there, they can pull her out. She's literally preening like she ain't got nowhere to go. She just went potty. That's a good sign that means she's emptying herself for food. The problem is it's nesting season and they look for boxes to hide in dark spaces like this. What if you actually had a box in them? Mm. Imagine with Vinny, you just put a box there. Done. The bird isn't just going to step down to there, it's going to step over the box. I don't know. I don't think it's right. Is that touching the wall there? My daddy came. Look at that nesting. 22 feet. She's going to be right here. Look at this mess, isn't it? Hope her paws is waiting for this. For that. That's good. I don't know if you guys realize that the food was by the bird before. The bird would have had to kind of like jump down and climb up and I was like the bird's not going to do that. The bird knows there's water there, so they just move the food so that the bird could just like, it's all going to step. Oh, that's the African gray look for what's in there. Yeah, she likes that. Tell them to say that again. Yeah, yes. Yes. Tell them to do the potato chips again because she associates the bag with the food. Can you use the bag, the bag of Cheetos? I feel like we're film directors. And this is our video village and we're like, do you mind getting our actor to like, we need our actor to perform. Oh my God, guys. Guys, guys, keep going, keep going. Hey, but you won that. He's coming. George, I have a possibility. She might not see the food because the light's blinding her. That's a good point. So she might need a little tiny light in the food tray. Good point. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. We could see it, but I don't think she can because remember how we were looking at that light yesterday? Yeah, it was blinding. Yeah. I had a thought, I told them. The bird might not be seeing the food. The bird might be blinded by the light coming at it. If we have like the time to do those little things that break to put it in the food tray. Like a lit light? Yeah. I have a stick light. You have a stick light? No. That's exactly what I think we need. Yeah, it's a stick light, Lal. Okay. So let's try putting a stick light in the tray. All my years on stage and having stage fright. One thing I knew was I expected to see the audience, but couldn't because all the light was directed at me and the light is right now directed at the birds. Yes. Yeah, the problem is once they pull the tray. Yeah. All the seeds will cover the glue. We should buy more. I'm gonna buy more traps. I'm gonna go to the market right now. Grab your camera. Yeah. We just have a string. If we go from this side, we might actually have a problem. You might scare that direction. We have room. We'll go around here. We'll push here. We'll go faster than the bird. The bird's like we have to go faster than us. Okay. Borrell is here. The RV professional. No, the R. George, unlock the car. Do you want to put the DX18 on it? Why? So we'll have longer range heat. You have the receiver? Everything here. I brought everything to the car. How wide is it? About, I think three to four feet, right? Someone around there? I could turn around. On my camera. Can you turn it off real quick? Just for one second? I mean that light? Is front and reverse the same? Okay. Let's have the string to it first. Where's the string? Doctor. It's got a blue. Yeah. Where'd the flashlight go? You get the string on it? Yeah. Who's driving? Right. Okay. So you passed him. Okay, okay. You don't have to go that far. You can come back now. The bird, the bird's mad at it. Yeah, he just went over it. Should we get that tray in there? Then we pull the tray out and then we pull the car out with the string. You could put the tray in right now. Hey, hang out over there. Don't go over yet. What do you think? Do you think if we got the tray in now over there maybe he will jump into the tray? But if we get her scared even an inch and the tray is there. She might jump off of the tray. Yeah. She might see that. Right now she's not getting scared. I can see her. Look, I'm looking at her. Yeah, she's not. It has to come after her. There we go. Right. Oh, oh. Oh, she's getting mad. Just try to climb that wall right there. Go straight and keep trying to climb it. No, you're going to just, you're going to have to move your head up. Yeah, but you're going to. I don't think he's going to come down when he knows the car is down below. Yeah. But what if the tray was there with a perch standing right there? But if you stuck, oh, something burnt. No. Pull it, pull it out. One second. No one second. You're going to, it's stuck onto the. Oh no. Yeah, I have another idea. You see how the bird is right there? The car doesn't reach there. We need a stick to form like an L and sweep the bird off. Oh, perfect. Get up, hit it straight, straight. No, never return. That's, that's. Get it closer. You're on the rock. If you pass that and you bring it back, you might be able to grab that rock and bring it with you. Did you think this is what you were going to get into when you got here? No idea. Not at all. Not the way I picture my Monday night. We got to get the tray in there right now. Wait, let's get the tray over there. Oh, there's a ledge over there. You want me to push the tray in? Yeah, let's get the tray there. Where is it? Get the tray in there, right away. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. We want to jump onto that. That's right. Get in there, get in there. Pull the bird. Just be quiet. Let's stick your head in there. How close? What did he say? Mini. Ay, maballita, córrele, patita. Tá caminando. You can see her? Sí, está caminando. How close? What did he say? Córrele, maballita. 15 feet. He's close. She's still walking over? Córrele, maballita. Is she still walking? Pásal, ya paró. She's still walking over. Can you ask him, please? ¿Tú todavía está caminando? No, ya no caminó. Ahí se paró, pero ahí está. Keep pulling the camera. Keep pulling the camera. But our sequel, they're right out of here. Yo, Greg's the bird with us. Hey, let's get that. Can you guys be quiet? Can you guys be quiet? Let him try that. I'm dropping it. Seal him. Diga, diga, diga. Try the, like a potato chip bag right now. They love that. Yeah, crinkle that. Here, crinkle this. She likes this. Potatoes. Potatoes, cheetos. That was your baby? Yeah. A beautiful baby. He was trying to get the bar in your car. Did you let him play with it? No. Why? I was kind of surprised. Ah, no. You want the ball? You can have the ball. Give him the ball. Where is it? I get a ball from Marlene's dad. Dad, how did you like that? Well, I loved it. It was a beautiful rescue. We used a lot of ingenuity, but finally we got him out. Beautiful bird. Don't forget to check out Hope for Paws, who has an amazing YouTube channel and was essential in making this happen. So go over and check all their videos out. I'm sure you already know all their videos. You'll love it. The guy that got the bird out in the end was a guy from Remember when we went to the RC car store today. It was that kid's friend who loves his African gray. Just like coincidence, coincidence after coincidence. It's amazing. All right, guys. Jasmine and I want to sign off for the day. We are so, so happy, aren't we? How do you feel about that? I'm not. I'm not. You're happy. Smile. How do I feel? I feel good. I feel happy that she came out. I feel sad that it's not my bird. It's a good job your bird wasn't in the sewer, but I got to meet your beautiful red factor, Sonia. He's cute. Yes, he's cute. Don't forget to subscribe and check out all my links below. If you want to see these videos early, check out my Patreon. I'm having so much fun there because it's like my private chat with you guys. And also the people on Patreon were updated the whole way through, like in real time with pictures. Can we put content that probably wouldn't be good on YouTube on Patreon for people that... Can you stop discussing when we're in the middle of an outro? I'm just saying because there's some things that... Can you stop? There's some things that we can't post on YouTube. Bye! I like this is it. We come out and support our fans. I actually thought she wasn't going to come out, but you see, always try. I hope. Absolutely. If I could save a bird, we're going to save a bird. And we did it. You guys, bye!
