Thank you!

He's actually named after the phoenix in Harry Potter.

@fawkesthegreencheekedconur1559 oh ya I forgot that was his name.

Yes, he does. Buddy seems to be Fawkes' favorite right now.

I'm so glad you're enjoying it!

Thanks! You do music production?

@@fawkesthegreencheekedconur1559 Yes! I'm actually a songwriter, singer; and performer. I've been out of the business for quite awhile, but now I'm working on a new comeback album for the summer. I write different genres of music, such as Blues, Soul, Soft Rock, Pop, Easy Listening; and R&B. I have several popular family members who are also musically inclined. One of my cousins produced the song "Uptown Funk", for Bruno Mars. The legendary Al Green was produced by my grandfather's first cousin Willie Mitchell; and Larry Graham is also my cousin, and he was deeply affiliated with Prince. There are other family members who've done great work for other entertainers and are themselves entertainers.😊

@@originalkingalpha5116 I ask because I do music shows on my other channel, and I'm always looking for singers to collaborate with.

@@fawkesthegreencheekedconur1559 Ohhhh! Okay! What's the name of your other channel? I'd love to check it out! I'm always happy to work with others.

Yeah, he surprised me. I intended to do the video in two parts: Cast the spell from Harry Potter (which was to summon Fawkes to me), then in the second part use a treat to lure him to me--but he came on his own. I mean, you can train a bird to do what you want them to, but in the end, they have their own personalities, and they do what they want. In this case, it essentially was that he did what I wanted, but not what I expected, hence the laughing at the end. Thursday's video basically gives the explanation I just did about this video.

@@fawkesthegreencheekedconur1559 Yeah, I'm amazed at how well trained he is and his progress. You have just as much patience as he has talent. You two make a great team; and I always look forward to you both hanging out having fun, and displaying some educational purposes as well. You two ROCK!!!🥰✨

I think he's just mostly fluffed up. His weight is pretty steady.

@@fawkesthegreencheekedconur1559 Not to direct the attention to his weight, specifically, but I know that my grandmother always says "That weight is good as long as you feel good; and those for animals as well.❤️

@@originalkingalpha5116 That is true. He's definitely healthy--he just tends to dislike being on camera--he's shy.

@@fawkesthegreencheekedconur1559 Lol, yeah I've noticed that he fully aware of the camera being on! Such a smart feathered fella!😂

@@originalkingalpha5116 Yes, he definitely is. You should check out the videos of him talking. He's smart enough to have simple conversations with.

Yeah, Fawkes is obsessed with 'making fun' of me, which is his version of teasing or joking around, but he doesn't know when to stop.
