 Oh, I should wear headphones. My fellow Snifers, Fighters and Newbies. Did you see the title of this video? Are you shocked? Are you excited? Oh, don't be upset. This is Brando. Brando, introduce yourself. For those of you who don't know Brando, he's my baby mustache perky. He's spoiled to death. I'm obsessed with him. I love him. And for those of you who are new to this channel, my name is Marlene McCohen. There are a lot of animals on this channel, specifically birds, specifically. Really exciting exotic birds. And specifically, a hyacinth. I'm gonna call. Are you guys ready? Yeah. Yeah. I don't even know why. I'm very excited for you guys to see this. Here we go to show you guys that lighting is everything. But besides for that, did you guys hear? What's downstairs? Oh, there it is. Dun, dun, dun, dun. Ah! Oh! The first most important breakfast. This should help you. You should wear headphones. It's to Carolyn. Carolyn Von Petzl, also a YouTuber. And I'm babysitting Glory. Glory's cool. Me and Glory have been hanging out. And not only am I babysitting McCohen, we're babysitting love as well. And on top of that, we're babysitting hope. So you guys are gonna see it in a video coming up. Exactly why and what happened. So, Glory has a lot of dependency issues. Maybe some abandonment issues. I don't exactly know her whole story. But yesterday I spent all day working with Glory on some of that. And we made a little leeway. There are some things that have been cool. Some cool developments that I have had with Glory love and hope, which I don't think Carolyn herself thought would happen. After the first day, we have succeeded to have a very quiet household, even with these birds. I don't know if you guys watched Carolyn's channel. You know that she was struggling with how loud Glory is, how dependent Glory is. And that is hard to change. There's a lot of factors that come in that. But one thing that Carolyn always says, and almost everyone that has birds say, when they come into my house, they're like, wow, your birds are so quiet. There's a lot of factors that go into that. There's training, but there's adapting to the environment. There's including them as a family. There's teaching them that they are not gonna be abandoned. It's all different. You guys know my birds are rescued. So, particularly this is something that I'm pretty good at. But Glory would need a lot of work. Glory would need to be in this house for a long time. Not in terms of training for Carolyn, because sometimes when they find their person, like obviously Carolyn is Glory's person. It's hard guys, it's really hard to continue working with Glory on an everyday basis, because think about it, sometimes you live in a certain place where your neighbors hear your birds and you can't put in the training because if you do a bird like Glory, she's probably one of the, you're probably one of the worst cases I've ever seen honestly, Glory. So sometimes when you have a bird as loud as Glory and not just loud, okay, these birds are loud, but she's noisy because she doesn't stop. Where you wanna go? You wanna go in the stand? You wanna get a head scratch? Then you will give in, because if you take that time to let them scream for 10 minutes while you're trying to retrain them, the consequences of screaming versus the reward for not screaming, you're gonna be getting a lot of screaming and therefore your neighbors will come and there'll be complaints and so sometimes you're in a situation where you just want the bird to stop and so you keep appeasing that. When you keep appeasing that, then you're gonna keep getting that. So sometimes people don't live in the exact surroundings where they can put in that work. If you understand what I'm saying. This is a bird that has these issues for a long time. It's not gonna go away in a day. This is gonna take consistent training. Rocky's talking if you guys hear. This is gonna take consistent training, different kind of training, rewards, execution, and your bird possibly has less issues than Glory. Anyway, we did come a little leeway with her yesterday and there were a lot of exciting things. Like I was able to be in the kitchen around her without her screaming, without her needing to be on me, which was amazing. What's going on? Are you jealous of the camera? Okay, do you guys hear that? Oh my God, it scared me. So we're keeping some of the birds contained while the macaws are out. So we get a little peace to it, but they're all pretty good, right? You guys look at Brando, Brando's so adult now. I'm gonna take him a while to get through this all of him, but he's gonna do it. When you give them things like this, they will naturally trim their beaks, which is one good point. They'll be working on their food, similar to like foraging, but it keeps them extremely busy. And three, they also know how to soak their own nuts. You'd be very surprised. A lot of people are like, you have to soak the nuts for the birds, and that's good, but they know how to do it themselves. If you know birds, you know that. Do you also have an almond? So some of the birds that I have will open this and then go take it to some water and they'll soak it. It's really cute. What do you want? I mean, I'm just actually thinking right now. I'm like, this house is really quiet. Like glorious quiet. They're all leaving. Mm-hmm. Beating them keeps them quiet. It's amazing. Rocky's got apple. Are you giving everyone apple? I'm giving everyone apple. We'll call you grandma and aura. Your hair's so pretty. Guys, the silence is amazing. Pretty oppressive. You fly so beautifully. You fly, and this is why we don't have some birds out because I don't know where love is gonna land. Step up. Move your bow. I wanna tell you guys one thing. I forgot to tell you, how did I get Glory to step up to me? Cause if Carolyn was here, Glory would probably not step up to me. Maybe go to bite me. Honestly, don't know. I've never been able to handle Glory before in her presence, which is completely normal for birds. And it's also normal for birds to kind of either be very aggressive when they're left with other people cause they just don't trust anyone else or to look for that other person to kind of bond with and they choose somebody. So if you have a rescue, that could take a long time, right? In this case, I thought it would take a long time, but I just approached her with no fear and she just kind of stepped up. Mango is like, I never seen such crazy birds in all my life. Are you still on this? Yeah. So this element has been a lot of activity. They're much calmer now. I've enjoyed this video.
