 Baby, Lou's gonna help you. Sometimes I don't want to turn off my car. Oh right, because I often forget to put it in part. It's going to be very interesting to see what Lou says. Hey guys! Whoo! Briar light. Okay, so I'm Marlene McCohen and welcome to my channel! I don't know, like I know you guys so well that I feel like I don't have to say that, but there's some of you who are new and welcome to my channel! Don't forget to subscribe! Alright, I'm such a clumsy person. Okay, I seem very chipper, I know. I'm deeply saddened because I lost my bird Picasso. You guys have heard of this a million times, but in the search for Picasso, I found another bird. Well, I didn't find it. Somebody else found it and let me know about the bird. Possibly a wild Amazon, which Lou has been helping me nurse back to health. So I'm going to visit it right now. George is going to meet me there. See if maybe the bird's ready for me to bring him back home and then decide if I'm going to set him free because he may be wild. Continue to search for the owner. Of course that obviously, but also insert obnoxious mini Cooper. You're not wearing your seatbelt noise here. So I'm off and on my way to Birds Plus to give you guys the update on this Amazon. Okay, here we go. Okay, how many times have you guys walked this with me? I get nervous because I'm like, is the bird okay? Like, is there any updates that someone come in and steal him? Because, you know, that's happened over here before. I think I'm wearing the same shirt you guys seen. I can't even focus on anything, but what's going on here? Oh, is that him? Oh, who's that? Hey. That stands out from years ago. Oh, that's what they're called pyro canter berries. All right. So who's that birthday guys? I know there he is. There's a baby. A baby Amazon. Same exact kind of Amazon. But ours that we rescued was actually a wild bird. Hi. Who's complaining down here? No, but a lot of complaints. So yeah, it looks much better. He said he had E. coli. What? He had had a problem flying and it hit the window. The reason why he had that problem was because he was already, I guess he got E. coli and he was already off balance because E. coli will do that. How does Luna know that? Well, he did a, he kind of felt like he wasn't eating. And so what he did is he had a friend do a test on him. Stop. On his whatever. Droppings? Yeah. And then they did like a whole thing and they found out, they gave him antibiotics. So he's on medication right now. Oh, this happened to you. So we better leave him here for a while. And on top of it, he's a wild bird. I heard it. And you can tell that he also is very old based on his feet, based on his beak, based on his eyes. He's past 20, past 20, past 20. How long is he on antibiotics? Let's go ask Lou. Lou? Yes, my dear. The bird's on antibiotics? Yeah, betril, gata, E. coli. How did you find that out? I cultured it up. And it wasn't eaten. It wasn't eaten. And you saw him with the, the shit was gone, the shit was bad. You think he was improving before, right? Like he was improving. No, he was not enough for me. Yeah. So. How long is he on antibiotics for? He's been on, uh, four days. How long does he need? Seven. Seven days. Injectable. See, what did I tell you guys? Is this guy a genius or what? I mean, just look at the droppings in there. Injectable biotics? Oh, yeah. I saw the hummingbird last week. You did? I saw the pictures. Oh, okay. So I brought him to me, he goes, the bird was in the stairwell. He brings this hummingbird in, it's laying on its side. I'm like, the eyes are like, you can see it's respiratory, it's just barely moving. So I filled up the syringe full of the nectar, the hummingbird nectar, stuck his beak in it, laid him in a little isolate, a little fish aquarium. About five minutes later, I see the throat kind of move a little. I'm like, wow, about 10 minutes later, eyes are open. 10 minutes later, it's kind of sitting out. And I started to push the syringe down and let him stick it, and watch his tongue. I'm like, dude, you're going to make it. And so look. That's cool. That's amazing, because George had come across a hummingbird. You're a possible human. I couldn't get him to eat. No, they're really, really hard to get to do. It's a syringe thing, because it's almost impossible to get anything through the throat. You can't get anything in there. How do you do that? You just, they have to lick it. So how did you get him? How did you see them? Just by the grace of God, he started eating. There's him flying. There's him at my house. He's in a box, though. He's in a clear plastic box, and he flew to Paul Street. You right away, I mean, within an hour or an hour and a half of being dead inside. I mean dead. So basically an hour and he was all good. I just posted a video on like, what to do when you find a nestling slash fledgling slash, but the reason is because we found two nestlings when we were, all you got to do is put. We put them back in the nest. Yeah, sometimes they make it sometimes they don't. It was at our bring up here. A little isolate like this. And I cut a piece of cardboard that stood up in between here and there, and I stuck the syringe through it all the way, all the way filled up like that. You made like a nectar thing right there. I just stuck it to the cardboard and I stuck through the hole and he was down here. First I had to, you know, I thought I was going to die. So I just stuck it deep in it and that was holding them up. And then I saw it start kind of moving. And he was drinking and I'm like, you're drinking? And his eyes opened up and he started just drinking there and I'm like, what? I hope you're drinking. And then I picked the syringe up out of there and it was empty. The whole thing was empty. Wow. So I'm like, okay. And then 10 minutes later, and the syringe flying around. I'm like, man, you're going to make it, dude. He was out of gas, he had a fuel. When I stuck this through the cardboard, just I made a hole at an angle. So this kind of sat like this filled up with that KT hummingbird nectar right through. So he could just sit like this. And then I'd see him come up in that little tongues about that long and just lapping it and lapping it and lapping it. And he was just drinking it and drinking it and drinking it. And then all of a sudden he started buzzing around in the thing in here. I'm like, amazing. Because I've never, I've never sat a hummingbird, but I've sat as a hummingbird in my world. That's amazing that your hands are so good. Yeah, I amazed myself on that one. I saved the one, boy. And you saved the Amazon this whole, like, medication. So yeah, I'm basically giving them updates on the Amazon, coming to visit. Yeah, did you show them, did you show them the progress of the bird? Okay, baby. Okay, so that's the thing. He's doing pretty well. What are you doing? He's a little timid. Bye, Lou. All right, you guys. Thank you so much for all your genius. I know you love the birds. Wow. Bye, George. Basically, Lou also said he could tell the age of the bird from his scaly feet and also that he's been out in the wild and that he's over 20. I don't know if you guys heard that before. How they test for E. coli, amazing. They do a swab of the droppings, put it in a petri dish, and then whatever it grows over, first of all, the growth indicates that he has E. coli or something else. But whatever antibiotic it doesn't grow over, basically they have drops of antibiotics in there, is how you know not only what the bird has, but what will cure it. So that's why he's on basically seven days of medication right now. Wow, like I learn so much every time I go in here. It's always good to have a good bird mentor and friend and somebody you can learn from. He's probably been doing this for like 40 or 50 years, although he doesn't look old enough, but he's definitely amazing. So that is it, guys. Don't forget to subscribe. Let me know your favorite part of this video, although I don't think it was particularly comedic. But I love you guys so much. Bye. This dude just like leaving. By the way, look, look what I found. Where? Whole Foods said they didn't have it, but now they do. No, they had it. You just didn't. You were the guy that was there. I didn't said it like this. You don't ask a guy. Guys don't know anything here. I know. Right. Been looking for my crackers for a while. He comes home and tells me they don't have them. He goes, I asked the guy, the guy said they don't have them. I'm like, just in case I got you like six, six packs of those things. Oh, good. Oh, good.
