 When putting the birds outside it's always best to put the naughtiest one out first. These two are naughty. Here's your naughty one. You are another naughty one. Merlin, Monty, Vinny. Hello my fellow Snifers, Flighters and Hatchlings. My name is Marlene McCohen and welcome to my channel. Before we go on I want to welcome some of you to my Flighters Club and give you some shoutouts. That's Gina Ford, Michael W.T. Riker and Anna Chipman. I'm really excited to have you guys on board for those of you who don't know what that is. The Flighters Club is my Patreon where you can support my work making videos. Love those of you who are here early to this video. Okay, welcome to today's video. Obviously because I'm in bed and still not even like conscious yet. Today we are going to do my morning routine. And there it starts. So in case you are new here this is a channel about me and my birds and my family and animals. It's a lot of fun. But first of all I sleep right next to, yeah you heard it, my bird. But this is not just any bird. This is a really spoiled bird because look at her right now. Here she is. You want to come out Brando? Yes you do. Okay here's why Brando is spoiled. First of all Brando has a cage downstairs. And every night I pretend that I'm going to be putting Brando in the cage. I get her food ready, get her water ready and I put Brando in there to bed. But of course we don't go to bed as early as the birds so we're still up right? So every night before I go to bed and walk upstairs I notice Brando looking under the cage sleeping on the floor so that if I walk by she will be awakened. And then she can just like let me know she wants to come up here. She's even flown up here. Oh my god. I was also squeezing the cat. So yeah that's that. By the way guys I sleep in the men's shirts. So that's my pajamas. This is my engage not cage pajama. I love it. Okay where are you going? We have to show everyone our morning routine. It's hard to show morning routine. Okay so basically as soon as I wake up I wake Brando. Sometimes if Brando wakes up before me or wants to wake up before me then I uncover Brando's cage to start dragging the cover off. And I put her back on the cage to hang up. And then I literally go back to sleep. Just so she gets to be up early in the morning right Brando? If I am awake I cuddle the hell out of her for a good amount of time. I get snows. Check out how she smells. She smells good for the day. Healthy. I can tell a lot by smell what they ate. How they feel. So that me and Brando will most likely hang out here for a good 20 minutes at least. Good job I ain't got nowhere to be. It's hard to snuggle her with this camera. So then Brando's uncovered and I let her play up there. If I should deem it too early to wake up or if she doesn't give me enough cuddles I literally go back to sleep. And then she's just out. But sometimes when I go back to sleep I'm awoken by a cute bird. Who will come over and give me a kiss. And ugh that's just the best feeling in the world. I'm kind of feeling tired right now. If I don't go to sleep I just stay really still and use this time to go over my dreams and just analyze what I dreamt and why. Especially if it was kind of traumatic. Like last night I had kind of a crazy dream. So I just would sit here and just kind of analyze it and see if there was something I saw on you know Instagram or social media or TV or somewhere that I might have taken from there to put in my dream or if it's something futuristic. So I really try to decipher all that. So I lay here for a good 10 minutes trying to figure that out unless there was nothing noticeable in my dreams that I just kind of moved on. There's Brando. Also about the cat. The cat sleeps in the bed right next to George and I don't get I'm not privy to any of that. I often try to hold the cat captive. Cat doesn't like that because I'm like Elmira and want to squeeze the cat. That's how I got this cat here. But Starbucks is here. She's so cute and Starbucks is not on the bed anymore because George wakes up much earlier than me and he goes downstairs and he wakes up all the birds first. Time to actually get up. Picks up. Next I literally get in the bed with my Sandy. You guys want a nighttime routine? Let me know. She loves it. I'm gonna hang out here. Look Sandy. I love this dog. He's the only most cutest dog in the world. My cat. Sandy has two beds in here. It's time to go shower. I look at my face and you can tell I clearly ate stuff I was allergic to last night because George was working late downstairs so I could hide what I was eating. Not good for my face but let's recover. Now I make the big decision whether I'm going to wash my hair or not and I go shower with my Brando. If you watch me on Instagram you know there's always a bird in the shower. Not a bird. In the morning there might be one bird. In night there's lots of birds in the shower. Don't forget to watch me on Instagram guys. Okay so this is Brando's little birch. Just a mirror. That's where Brando's gonna be in my shower. Okay so now I'm dressed for the day. Didn't need to show that. I'm actually wearing... I thought that I was putting on a tank top. One of the rainbow crops. But this is the men's tank. It's a size medium so it's a bit too big but I tied it at the bottom here. So this is me just wearing it. I love these because they match everything so they match my pink pants. So that's so far we're dressed. Brando chills right here. And now I decide whether or not to put makeup on. Usually I'm a little more productive when I put makeup on. If I'm going to be just doing like work throughout the day I don't put makeup on because the amount of time it takes me to take it off. Like I spend a lot of time making sure there's not a grain of makeup on me. Just adds to my night routine plus getting the birds to bed and all that. So if I can avoid it I definitely do. But again I don't know if I'm gonna make any other videos today. Like maybe some sit downs for you guys. So I think I might put some makeup on so that I'm kind of ready for anything. I'm also so much more motivated with makeup on. Before makeup I like to get myself a cup of tea. It's gonna be like 10-15 minutes while I do it. So let's go down and make our tea. Say hi to the purchase. So here we have a few of them but I always hate them seeing Brando because then I feel guilty. Sandy wanna go out? Sandy wants to go out. Always forgot about that. Sandy's gotta go out first. Go on. Hey where's Jersey? Gotta find Jersey. Jersey! No, she's not in here. It looks like somebody gave you breakfast. So usually Jersey gives her her breakfast. Look who's here. Look who's here. Let's make some tea. Hello. Who's that beauty bear? Who's that beauty? Vinny is up very late. So he's still sleeping. Hi boobies. Oh you woke up? Yeah you come with me. Yeah okay. Really good night time too because there's chamomile in it. No caffeine. So this yellow is gonna keep your pink. Our Jersey birthday behind is very magical. So we're gonna wait for that to turn pink. And I'm going to grab myself a bar. I love these no-cow bars for vegan. I'm really sensitive to dairy. It kind of causes a lot of mucus in my system. So I like these no-cow bars. Peanut butter. And then we go up and put our make up on. I ask each bird which wants to come. I couldn't get it on film. Vinny didn't wanna come. He was my first choice. Oh Sandra wants to be let in. But Cody wanted to come. So Cody's gonna come. Okay so Cody's coming. You can include birds in everything that you do. If you haven't won the one bird you gotta take the opportunity to make sure that you spend time with each one. By just using everything you do as an opportunity. Brandon showered with me. Katie's gonna put on makeup with me. Look how dark pink this is now. Mix it around. I'm excited about it. Okay guys this is not like a fancy makeup routine. This is just like I'm putting on my daily makeup. Just nice enough to be in a sit down video kind of thing. He says 15 minutes and 14 seconds on the screen. Could have done that a lot faster without Cody. And it's just kind of simple makeup routine. That's it. And it's a nice simple look that looks good in photos. If at the end you wanna add a little more shine from the Jeffree Star palette in between my eyes. His blue blood white has been my favorite one so far. I'm not a fancy makeup artist on YouTube or anything. But I'm just doing makeup for me and when I go out I go all out. I've been doing makeup since I was like 10 years old. And my hair is an atrocity I know because I usually love blow-dries because I'm a Leo. If you guys do wanna makeup routine from me it won't be full of so much stuff that I see them do on Instagram. I just like to go for like a look that maybe is glamorous but doesn't require so much caking on. I wanna wash my face just watching them do that on Instagram. So you guys want that? That's what it would be. As you guys saw there was a little concealer. That concealer is so amazing. It made me not need foundation and then a little bit of powder just to lighten up for contour. I added the lines, the contour of dark lines at the end because I thought might as well I forgot to do them whatever. So Cody and I are gonna go downstairs have our tea and decide, you know what I'd say? Do you want some of the touristy spread? I come down here and Cio has the most interesting looking healthy gluten-free breakfast. She's got five grain crackers. She's got some almond butter. Hi Cody, did you call for breakfast? I know. And some bananas on this. So I think I'm gonna try this for breakfast today. I've never been into like rice, what do you call them? Rice cakes, but these look thin and interesting. So I'm gonna try it today. Normally I just eat my bar if George is in here and if he is here he makes me breakfast. And now it gets real. Cio's trying to do stuff. She's got her bird and we have Cody guarding. I know this. Look she's all fluffed up. She's like the ninja of the kitchen. She's guarding it. Yeah, looking innocent. We know you're not innocent. Poor Cio just trying to make her tea and she can't. Look at Tony. Ty got a little stressed and pulled out some feathers. Probably, probably from the move. Actually he had recovered and then left him out again. So we moved him downstairs. He think he was sleeping in their room and he couldn't get a good night's sleep. And from here in the morning routine turns into chaos. This is when I start deciding what we're gonna do with the birdies all day. Some of them are going to go outside and play outside. Vinny loves that. He has a little bit of a bully. So he doesn't get to go out with all the other birdies. Sometimes he does. He likes to be inside with his mommy. Are you playing with Ty? These guys like banana. You like the banana? Oh yeah. Okay. Give all the birds some snacks and treats. And give some banana. You want banana? You want to go guard your kitchen? You want to fight for kitchen rights? So either Merlin or Cody is going to have to go in the aviary outside. Cody loves it more. So Cody gets to go out more. But I think today is Merlin's day. Good morning, Merlin. Merlin's so naughty. Did you guys see how well Brando flies? She's bold. Tell them all about your flight. How was it? Same face. It's so cute. I have to be honest. A lot of my days wasted just sniffing birds. Or it's not a waste. When putting the birds outside, it's always best to put the naughtiest one out first. These two are naughty. So those are some that we put out first. And we also put Vinny out first. Because Vinny, I get his carrier and I take him out that way. He loves going outside and he loves going on trips. So he just loves to carry on. He will literally walk right into it and tell me he wants to go outside. Here's your naughty one. You are another naughty one. Merlin, Monty, Vinny. The reason I use the carrier for Vinny is because he gets spooked by things easily. Like he doesn't like dogs. I firmly believe like if Vinny flew, he'd fly right back to me. Because that's what he does in the house. But outside is a different ballgame. Because once they get lost, yeah. Do you have stuff to say? What do you want to say about being in there? Bless you. I have a lot of toys waiting. So you can see right there. There's always a lot of cleaning. Next naughtiest, Merlin. Although he looks so innocent right here. And this is all him and Cody. This is their tent. You want to go outside today or you want Cody to go outside? This is a hard decision for me. Rocky, you want to go outside? See who should go outside. Merlin or Cody. Cody, it's time. You like it out there. You want to go outside? I turned the misters on for you. I set up the camera to bring Cody outside. Cody doesn't want to come outside. That's fine. That's her choice. She knows I asked her. She doesn't want to come. So she knows where she's going. So she gets to be inside today. Watch. You want to go outside? No, that means no. So I listen to them. Where's Merlin? Merlin's going. Oh, Merlin's having tea. No wonder you don't want Merlin. They'll leave you just spoiling and rotting with his. Is that warm water? Yeah. Yeah, he likes it. How I like it outside, but he hates it. He's missing something, you know? I know. He has FOMO. He does. All the cockatoos have FOMO. Honestly, that's why I love cockatoos. I relate. It's the best thing. He's like, that's so me right now. I do have FOMO. Yeah. And that's why I relate to Jersey. When she's on the banister and no one's there and she just starts screaming, I'm like, that's me, Jersey. I get it. If a tree falls in the forest, does anyone hear it? No, that's why you gotta call everyone over. What's going on there? It's raining before it goes too loud. Aren't we all? I see what you're doing. I know exactly what you're doing. I'm on to you. You found out that if you win over the Salvadorian queen, you get snacks, you get warm water, you get attention, you get someone cleaning up after you, you get love. This is, this is, this is. He's looking at me like, oh my God. He likes it. He's been trying to steal your heart since you got here. He's like, okay, it's okay. Do you want to go outside, Merlin? You are pretty naughty. Okay, that means like, excuse me. I just found a new piece of garbage to play with. Were you sleeping? I got you sleeping. Look at my baby. Look at my baby. Okay, now that I got the birds somewhat situated, that concludes my morning routine. Besides for the fact that I made myself coffee, it's pretty much afternoon now. And now I'm going to go into my office and work. And these guys, they chill out here. And Leo chills out here and Rocky chills out there. They're all kind of just trained to be out and chill. And so they don't have to be locked up when I'm doing other things. If you guys want to see my routine in the afternoon with my birds, let me know down below. Don't forget to subscribe. I love you guys so much. Bye.
