Ahahahha Cody looks so terrified when jersey starts dancing omg I can't 😂😂😂
I know, Jersey dances so cute. Her favorite song really fits her. She know's "She's a Perfect 10."
Brando’s voice when he was trying to talk to Nellie and Monty, sooooo sweet ☺️♥️
The sounds Brando makes are so dang adorable. I’m in love
Kim Ensley i totally agree 😍
Not every budgie is fully tame, even ones that are beloved pets, the fact that Pablo will sit on your chest is actually really good for a tiny shy bird like that.
Yes, I had untamed budgies and they would never ever go even close to me, getting them on my chest would be unthinkable. They would sit as far as way from me as possible. I'd say that Pablo has been tamed somewhat
Pablo definitely seems like a tame bird who was either just bonded to one person or hadn't been handled in a while. My tamest budgie is super cuddly and sweet with me (and a few select people) but if a stranger tried to pick him up, they'd get bit big time, if he didn't fly away first. My other budgie isn't hand tame in the slightest but she'll come up and talk to and take treats from just about anyone as long as they don't try to handle her. Budgies have super finicky personalities.
I didn’t realize that budgies could bite “big time”.
If I may, I think I know what's going on with that little budgie, see I work at a PetSmart, and we sell budgies and finches. So if any PetSmarts are like that in your area (assuming you have one around) that could be why that little fellow likes the finch, it's familiar to him. As for him being so timid, it could very well be possible that he got out of the box on the way home so he has not really been handled and tamed yet. You would not believe how many times a little kid has opened the box in the car or outside the store.
My advice is, if the bird has a band on its leg, take him to a pet store and have them look up the numbers on the band, then if they sold him to the person that owns him, then they'd have that information on file, including the phone number and name of the adopter.
DigiDrifter - hey friend, how can any pet store sell Budgies with NO leg band ??? Two of mine didn’t have one...!😳
@@annalisa14 I'm not entirely sure, most of them have one, it could be possible that it slipped off at some point, they aren't on very tightly, out of comfort for the birds.
I work at PetSmart too, none - or at least most - of the parakeets don't have bands I'm pretty sure. The other birds do like the Canaries or Green Cheeks. It might be state thing though? I'm not sure.
@@thatwitchgirl It must be a state thing, cause all of the birds at the store I work at do, well, not sure about the Finches, but we don't sell Green Cheeks or Canaries (though you would NOT believe how many people come in asking for Canaries, or demanding we order some)
One time a Dicks Sporting Goods not far from us found one of our birds in the tree and we returned it to the owner.
you can also get your bird chipped, that way they will always come back to you.
Brando makes the cutest little noises. He was trying to talk to the female Senegal, she wasn't interested though. LOL
One thing I wish was widespread knowledge about birds is that they are smart. It baffles me how so many people think they are stupid animals.
I took my conure out on a walk yesterday, and when people would stop me to ask questions about her, I'd have her do a few tricks. People were fascinated by even her most basic tricks of waving and spinning. One person even said they had no idea you could teach a bird anything.
I think the overall welfare of parrots would increase if people saw them as the brilliant beings that they truly are and not just some loud cage ornament.
Agreed! People think I'm crazy when I start talking about how smart birds are!
This doesn't just go for birds, my cats who can do tricks baffle people. Unfortunately, people thinks most animals are just moving rocks.☹
Yes! I get so many questions when my flock joins me on my dog walks. Some people have even been shocked by the fact that you can take a bird out of its cage and out to the town, or that you can form bonds with your parrot just like you can with a dog. At least those people take the initiative to ask and are open to be educated about parrots. :) And my Toos live for all that attention.
@@Beaah exactly they really do think that they are moving rocks with noise like no they have a brain too
Vinnie in the background 😂
You sick of me? You scared of me?
Jerz Jerz is a *PERFECT 10!*
Merlin, Merlin, Merlin😂
Love all the birbs🥰
Jersey's dance was so cute😍
Your birds are so precious💖💖
@SILLY BUBBY69 wtf, do you even know anything about birds? educate yourself
SILLY BUBBY69 she is not abused she has anxiety and is a plucker but Marlene is working with her on that
Oh Marlene, Jersey is my favorite bird. So sweet. I laugh at vinney. All of your birds are special and they seem to talk like a human being.God Bless you and all your babies. Thankyou for all of your videos.
♥️👍♥️🦜♥️
These are my MOST FAV VIDEOS!
Just you being you with all your wonderful animals in your beautiful home! Keep em coming!
❤❤❤❤
Good morning Marlene!!! You are my fav TH-camr and I am now OBSESSED with parrots!🤪
I swear to God I just love Vinny
My mullocon cockatoo loved playing catch with those lil plastic kitty play balls with all the holes and a bell inside lol.. She would go crazy omg lol!! 💗😁
Brando’s flying? I thought he was clipped by the store. Oh my gosh, he talks a lot! So cute.❤️ love all your babies!
I love Jersey so much. He's like so interactive and social. I would make him my feather friend right now if I could. You're so lucky Marlene to get so many social, cute, and intelligent feather friends. ❤️🧡💛💙💜💚
I'm cracking up, your birds are just something else. Jersey is so sweet shes like come on cody dance 💃
Brando is so loving... you got yourself a great bird. Make sure you devote time for him everyday. I'd hate for him to become just part of the flock, when he shows alot of love for the other birds. Don't let him lose that charm!
I’ll have to live vicariously through Marlene until I’m ready for my own parrot 😭
Love you Marlene!! 😊
Marlene I just love you!!!! I watch you and your birds before work and I think ur love of birds is awesome!!
Leo would make a great politician! He speaks nonsense just like the politicians in office now...
Except he makes more sense! Lol.
@@tupecktherappingparrot4345 I was just going to say that lol! And Leo is infinitely better to look at and has a better personality!
Leo 2020. Lol.
Vinny is Trump
@@Therange594 That's an insult to Vinny
I believe in you Marlene❣️ I would love to back you and I’m going to keep working toward self growth to be able to support the collective dream of a better life for our feathered family members❣️
Thank you so much for the kind words I totally understand I'm always working on self-growth to because by the looks of it it's going to be a long hard Road but honestly anything is Possible
Brando is so cute and so outgoing and talkative! He will be so much fun for sure! Great video and love what you do
That was a fun video. The Perfect Parrot looks like a great store. All the birds and people. Love it!
OMGOSH BRANDO IS GOING TO TALK!!!! I just had to get that out lol. I love that you mention their calling for you is okay. I happen to have an IRN who chose to talk, so I trained him to talk to me as his call to come back, but his loudness wasn't unexpected. And in fact, the only loud call he does now is his warning call (he thinks the giant light posts above major city highways are hawks lol because the lights are in a fanned-out cross pattern) which is nice for people who bird-sit for me so I can teach them the difference instead of trying to teach them his difference screeches. My goal upon retirement is to buy some acreage and build giant aviaries on them, free from hawks and other predators. I plan to do this in Florida because that's where I'm from (currently moving around every three years since I'm in the Navy), but if there were others in other states, it would be nice to hook up with other sanctuaries across the USA so we could have somewhere to go in case of hurricane evacs. I'm hoping for central florida land, but panhandle land is usually the most widely available.. because it floods more up there. Sooo.. yes. Need a backup. I have a feeling that the next generation will be much more educated and helpful than ours because this seems like a new thing. Social media platforms like yours and BirdTricks have really helped to raise awareness in the last couple years. I'm not the biggest fan of being on electronics constantly (which is ironic, since that's what I do for my job), but I'm considering making at least an IG to add on to you guys and maybe start a TH-cam channel if I get enough content/people/whatever on IG. We need more people who take action, not just people who sympathize, though we need plenty more of them as well. Retirement is in 12 years. I'll be saving and planning and gathering as much in the way of resources as possible during the next decade. And maybe will be able to put this dream into action by my 42nd birthday. :)
Omg.. watching this video 1st put a smile on my face.. then Marlene's words made me emotional and then that WINK was like😘
I love your idea and maybe one day I'll be capable enough to take few steps forward to help you🤞
We all have so much faith in you Marla and we will all do it together for the love of birds!! Also, you look so stunning in this video (not that you don't normally of course) xxxxxxx Brando is the sweetest with his quirky noises 😂 And I just adored it when your Senegal had a bath (can't remember whether it was Nelly or Monty but they're both wonderful) xxxxxxx Thank you for helping us all be better people ethically with animals and for the bird crisis xxxxx
I have so much faith in your projects! If I ever get a bird i’m totally buying your bird food ❤️.
Who can dislike such a great video😢
I mean there's absolutely nothing to dislike😤
A sanctuary would be a dream!!! Thank you for working towards it! It feels impossible for just one normal person it’s so wonderful that you’re using your influence to make a real difference ❤️❤️❤️
A) Vinnie needs his own talk show
B)No WAY is that Merlin!! He sounded like YOU!!
C) Brando’s voice is sweeter than candy
D) The Leo president bit-HILARIOUS!!
Vinnie’s dive bomb music in every video is the best!!! Love it! Poor George.
Beautiful nature's creation.....lovely 😊😘😙😍OMG, adorable!!!
23 minute video?! How did we get so lucky?
Love these guys! Thanks Marla!
I'm 72 now but when I was ten or so we got a parakeet and he had his own playground in our living room. He would also help me play cards, sit on my glasses and look down inn my eyes or sit on my shoulder and talk in my ear. I miss that.
Jersey is looking so much better! You mentioned how difficult it can be to get a bird to stop plucking, and sometimes they have a relapse if something stressful happens, but it seems like you are doing a great job in rehabilitating her. She always looks happy with you. She's such a sweatheart and deserves someone like you who'll take proper care of her.
She is definitely a happy bird but getting rid of the anxiety of something that is always going to be hard and ongoing if you know what I mean so she'll get better and worse depending on season of hormones and moods♥️
@@MARLENEMCCOHEN Hey, maybe you can help me with something. I lived in the Philippians for a years and a half when I was a kid. A restaurant we went to sometimes had a pet bird in the back. It was a local talking bird that me and my brother would play with. I've tried to find pictures of the kind of bird but can't. The closest I've come is the 'Common Hill Myna. He had a yellow stripe like those do, but he was otherwise pure black and... my brother says I'm wrong about this part, but I seem to remember him having a rainbow colored bulb between his beak and forehead, it looked like he was wearing a pearl or something. Do you know what kind of bird that was? Maybe a hybrid between different types of mynas?
Jersey is an absolute cutie. He is so cute that I just can't handle it!
It's like I can't get enough of him.
Him and his naked little chicken like body.
you do a wonderful job teaching people about parrot care, it's not easy and its 24/7 job. but they are so lovable. I use to raise birds, then I find out how many of the poor babies get rehomed, I stopped breeding. I could not bring more birds in this world when there are so many that need good homes. I have been working and rehabbing birds for about 25 years.
I have 7 birds and most came from multiple homes. so I know what you're saying, Marlene. I have yellow sided green cheek his owner has cancer, could no longer care for the little guy. He chases my husband around the house (he is a woman's bird) you have to understand the bird you adopt, Clippy is a Vinny, he loves going under my desk in a box, watch out if you get close to his box lol. My 7th birdie baby was in a shelter that was not licensed for birds, they were going to shut her down, she gave the birds away. Kiwi went to a lady that worked at the shelter, that home didn't work out, her elderly mother had him, (he attacked men) she didn't want him and I ended up with the little guy. I can turn him upsidedown, working on teaching him to raise his wings, so loving (if your a woman) were working on that.
Marlene thank you so much! Because of your videos I have adopted a budgie and I am trying to make his life the best it could be! Even if he will never want to hang out with me (outside of his home) I will try!
Next year I'm going to volunteer at a pet shop that has an African grey which is in a very bad shape the bird has a small, Cage they're feeding him rabbit food and basically he is in rough shape and I really want to help them . So next year I'm going to volunteer at the shop to help with the bird, because I know that, with proper education, I can try to help him and I want him to have a better life. I already asked “is he adoptable” because he is in a pet shop, but they said no, because he is just for show so I'm going to try to volunteer and help the bird! ❤️
I just wanna say thank you because without you I would not know what anything about birds! And without you my budgie probably would be in a bad state, he would not have the cage that he has right now, he would have a bad diet and I just wanna say thank you so much!💕❤️
Thank you so much for being a part of the sniffer family and for becoming educated a parrot hero ❤️ I think it's a beautiful thing to volunteer and help support these Amazing birds and spread the word about their needs and little hearts
MARLENE MC'COHEN Thank you so much! I just want to help the little guy! I tried to donate a toy and food( because he didn’t have a toy) but they didn’t accept it 😭 and so next year ( because that’s when they will need employees ) I’m going to try to help him!
Love all of your videos! Just keep doing what you’re doing ❤️
Marleen you are doing the right thing. I’m sure one day you will get your dream. And Leo would be a great President. Better then the most I’m sure. Lol
Always something.... many things... to learn about! Thank you so much. 💚🦜💛
Sweet little Blue
SimmyyXD I really want a ring neck should I get one it’s really hard to decide right now because I have to choose between a ring neck African grey and a cockatiel
Do you have any experience with parrots?
@@MrJdubz100 I do! I have 10 of my own and 6 fosters
Sorry I meant Gay Boy I saw your comments above and it looks like you have quite the flock! I have three parrots. A Catalina Macaw (Brand new addition), an African Gray, and a Senegal. I got the Catalina Macaw three weeks ago but my other two parrots have been with me for 10+ years.
I love that you have vision and goals to help birds in the long term and setting up your brand to do that is wonderful. I've never felt irritated by your advertising, you do it in a way that's not obnoxious lol! I am one your viewers that live vicariously through you to get my bird love fix so I don't any need for products but I support your vision 100%
I only realised just how wonderful parrots are through watching you and I so wish that I could have a bird of my own but with 3 cats and disabilities, it would be irresponsible to get one because besides having trouble with dealing with the upkeep and cleaning involved, my cats would definitely spend their life trying to get at it. I have a hard time stopping them getting the wild birds outside so I know they would try get at a pet bird. I would have to get a macaw for it to have any kind of safety around my cats and macaws aren't exactly starter birds or affordable in any sense!. I still hold the hope that someday I'll be able to get a bird tho!
I'm early! 😊 Nothing like to start off your sunday with a cool parrot video. 😉
Great way to start it😊
This is why I am so for cockatoos. Some find them the hardest but they are so personable. Look at jersey. She played hide and seek, soccer, and how much more. My macaws were always lumps on a stick. They were certainly affectionate one on one, but they never picked up on the Spontaneity , the fun of running around and doing silly things again like we see jersey do. Yea, give me a cockatoo any days of the week. They can be tough at times but wow are they so worth the time (not that any other birds aren’t, to each their own)
😍 4:57 Jersey pacing in the counter 😂 I love 💕 her personality!!
Isnt she thre cutest thing in the word
Saint, my male Ekkie loves Jersey. Saint is a very calm, sedate bird for the most part, when he see's Jersey he gets excited. He loves when she dances and sings. He mimics my laugh & so he laughs when watching her.
i want a bird so bad but it doesn’t fit with my plans rn so i have to wait so thank you so much for letting me live through you for now
Just bought some of Marlene's Signature Blend for my two Budgies. I'm so happy you talked about budgies a little in this video. I have been working so hard to get my shy little budgies used to my fiance and I and while one is more brave than the other, one of them is pretty confident and steps up 8 times out of 10 when we get him. Also, our more shy budgie was also found outside and we could not find his home. So crazy how many of these little guys get lost and never found. Love your videos Marlene and I look forward to them everytime! I love Vinny and Jersey and little Brando!!! PS, the clip of George and Rocky cuddling is the cutest!
I needed this video. Thanks for the upload and the correct dosage of bird love!
You are so very welcome always let me know what your favorite part is so I can be sure to include on the rest of the videos ❤️ ❤️
@@MARLENEMCCOHEN Is it fair to say all of it? 😂 Jersey dancing and Vinny defending his domain always puts a smile on my face, but I love seeing all the birds do their own thing!
I love your videos because you don’t just show us your birds you tell us about the birds and help train them!!❤️❤️
JERSEY is the STAR!!!! She is so photogenic and beautiful 💜💜🕊💜🕊💜💜
I am ADDICTED to your videos lol. I just recently ordered the box. I did the 3 month sub. I have the vinny sweatshirt. The Jersey pink baseball tee. I ordered your food. AND have added two cockatoos to my family since finding you!!! Eeek lol. Just wanted to say how much I enjoy your vids xoxo
I think it would be amazing to set up sanctuaries in your name that are publicly funded (as well as maybe funded by an attached bird store where you sell toys, food, supplies, cages, merch, etc.) and with the reach of your channel you can easily find people to work and volunteer in the sanctuaries who love and understand birds and set up a system that would be sustainable so that there is always someone to run the sanctuary and that person can choose another person to take over once they step down so that those birds will always have caretakers. I mean how amazing would it be to see Marlene Mc'Cohen Sanctuaries still making a difference 50 years from now?! That would be an amazing legacy to leave the birds and bird community.
I for one have wanted to open an animal sanctuary for years and I would literally drop everything to go, move somewhere and help set up and run something like this (also I'm an artist so I could paint cool murals and signs and stuff!) and I know there are many others who would be more than happy to help you set up and run something like this.
I think that you should start a go fund me where you figure out how much it would cost to start, including buying the property, building aviaries, getting supplies, doing repairs, etc. even if it's a lot of money (which of course it will be) I really believe that with all of our help you could totally do this and I'm sure there are companies and organizations out there that would be thrilled to become donors and help you as well!
Elizabeth Dawn great idea!
Elizabeth Dawn 😁
I would totally move and help out tooo!! Although Marlene is still so young and it's a huge deal to take on if her and George are hoping to have children someday!
So she may just be waiting for those days to come and go... Then take on something like that once her kids are older and can also participate in the process toooo!? 😁
I did not read it too long XD. But still a like for that much effort.
I wouldn’t move, because sanctuaries and rescues are really needed in my area. I would be over the moon delighted to run one for Marlene though. I have often thought of opening a sanctuary myself, but like Marlene am constantly thinking of the funding for such a thing. I have land in the country, and dream of it being the perfect setting for such a thing.
This is a great idea! If you build one here on the Easy side of the US, I will help. Think Atlanta, GA! We have so much to offer
Your so awesome Marlene! Thank you for helping all the birds 🦜 out there
You are so welcome thank you for being a part of the sniffer Community ❤️ ❤️
You are so welcome thank you for being a part of the sniffer family it really means the world to me that you're here and share the same vision ❤️
Jersey dancing to his song is so cute and him always finding you is also cute
My cockatiel Charlie loved this video! He talked to all the birds. And he thanks you for teaching his mumma how to best care for him. You're not wrong about them being toddlers but I wouldn't have him any other way ☺
That's so cute send my love to Charlie for me tell him thank you for watching ❤️
Time for Marlene to open a line of birds only stores, and sell franchises (limited number). Just a thought.
Marlene, this was an interesting video, and I loved it. I don’t do Instagram, but when you mentioned George had his own, I figured I should really set up an account, then I get 😉 double the trouble 😚with the two of you. I would think then that The Brat has her own too! Genna is a very funny girl, and it’s really nice to see more of her. How are your dear parents? Please send a Massachusetts hello ❤️❤️
Thank you for this video. Your sanctuary is my Sunday fun day. Will be purchasing your special bird seed as my brother has a cockatiel.
I just got a calendar and shirt for myself of Mr Max. But, If you have a 4 xl shirt, bro will have a nice gift 💝. Sixty yr old former football player would love, love, love this! Told him to subscribe too! I really do appreciate the time and energies you and George demand of excellent product. Marketing is spot on. Have a wonderful week ahead...."💝💞💓💗💖💕 💙💚💛🧡❤️💜🖤❣️❣️
More of this kind videos please....love your interaction with the feathered ones :)
Hany Hash
I totally agree with you 😃
So cute seeing Jersey dance to her song. Isn’t it ridiculous that you can have all those birds but the ones making most of the noise are the Senegals? seems like everyone ends up with 1 or 2 loudmouths making it seem like a madhouse!
Jersey feels the game continues on the kitchen table...🕊🦖 ⭐️🕊🦖⭐️ 😍
😂😂😂😂❤. Merlin, Merlin, Merlin. And I JUST CANT, Jersey I love you so much your the biggest ambassador for ALL cockatoos. Ok I have to tell you that Brando sounds exactly like you, seriously. How your voice goes high and that sweet talking you do. This species has a unique chirping and differant sound, like that little robot on STAR WARS that spins around making click and beeping whistling noise. As for rocky, well he IS AFTER ALL THE KING OF YOUR CASTLE, so makes apologies rather sits back and watches all his village nutcases make fools of themselves, all while one of his chosen " Cody" collects money to keep said CASTLE running smooth. He may call Jersey the village Clown, while Vinny is in charge of GUARDING the CASTLE, as well as open and taste test all that comes in, doing repairs when needed keeps him busy. Of coarse no CASTLE is complete without a 👸👑💋.
I looove these kind of videos😍😍😍When you vlog(from the morning),when the video is long and educational!! I love you Marlene so much,sending hugs and kisses
That is so good to know and really helps me out ❤️ I'm so glad that you enjoyed this video ❤️
Jersey's looking very happy lately
You honestly should have ur own TV show ur life is so entertaining 😂
Good luck😁😁 i dont mind when you promote your stuff most youtubers do it every 2 minuits i would love to buy your food for my bird so im saving i love your vids and how active you are with fans your the only youtuber who hearts my comments i have a whole story highlight on insta dedicated to you. You inspire me to help birdkind and edjucate my friends on the proper way to take care of there birds and now thay say how your advice helps. Bye 💙💙💙🐦
I'm about to get a budgie and I'm so excited!!!! I LOVE BIRDS!!!
Joursie (however you spell it) is so freaking cute dancing!!
I've had budgies for almost a decade, Pablo definitely seems like a bird that is either handtamed but was only socialized to one person or was handtamed in the past and went a little wild. An untame captive budgie would be waaaay more skittish and afraid than that little guy, they absolutely wouldn't be on you or allowing you to touch them in any way shape or form. Budgies aren't the easiest birds to tame, they are small and very fearful, they are also prone to more aggression than one might expect, they just can't do much damage with that aggression. My oldest budgie Spock is super tame when it comes to the few people that he knows and loves but he will divebomb, bite, fly away from and scream at any stranger that tries to touch him.
I love starting my Sundays watching you and your birds...stay awesome👍🏽👍🏽🇺🇸
THANK YOU MARLENE!!!! ❤️ we absolutely adore vinny!
You have such a beautiful soul, i know your dream will happen Marlene 💚💚💚
I really hope so I hope it doesn't take 20 years but even if it does at least we'll make it happen
Yay! The queen of birbs posted!!
I totally respect your vision to build a sustainable thang. The community needs a sanctuary that will last and hearing you talk, I just applaud you and feel the same. So hit me up if you ever build that team. It may take a while to get there but it’s a great idea!
And Leo for President!
I agree I definitely will need all the help I can get I just don't want to make any false starts you know what I mean I want to make sure we have all our ducks in a row and the right paperwork and obviously how big are brand but I'm sure there will be miracles on along the way
MARLENE MC'COHEN I think you’re gonna pull it off. I so clearly see that as your calling and path. 😉 And I think you have the right idea. But just take it slow. A project that big you’re gonna need a lot of help and planning, and such, but you have one of the first sustainable sanctuary plans which the community has always talked about needing. We love hearing Somebirdie wants to do it one day! Our birds will outlive us! I think the idea is beautiful and so my offer stands to help if u need whenever is the time needed ok. But you know best what you can handle & when. I think I see your vision of growth over time, and wow what an inspiring goal! And watching you grow in your TH-cam path has been really neat to see too! Very similar to our goal, but when I think about creating a sustainable rescue I then catch myself thinking “that’s lofty as an ideal goal... if you can do it.” So stay positive cuz you have a good team around you. A lot of loving friends and family who are well educated on bird issues. I always love that about your channel. We still need a team over here on mine, so we can’t crank out content like some of you can. Lol. But we’re doing good and the birds love it (it was all Tupeck’s idea too believe it or not! He had a whole business plan laid out and begged for 4 years. Lol)
Btw our cockatoo is having her first gotcha day on 9/21 as a live Twitter event (& her 20th bday) so come by on that day and join in the festivities. My flock are all obviously big fans of yours. Time tba.
Hi Marlene!
Can you please give us an update about Blue/I S I S? How is her owner doing and do you think she will be back soon to come and get her? I really hope so. Any updates would be appreciated!! Thank you for everything you’ve done. 🤟🏻🐦🥰🎊👏🏻🤗
Merlin’s grocery buggy🤣🤣🤣
I love your channel Marlene mc’cohen plus your birds are so cute and it’s my birthday tomorrow

Hi Marleen 😁, I do live vicariously through you! I live alone in a nyc apt and can’t handle a bird right now... but I do have a kitty.
Can we have more Starbucks content for us cat people?!
I would just like to say that I really want to know more about that budgie like what are you going to do with him if you can’t find his home? and even finchy!
Other then that! I loooove your videos! And all the beautiful animals in your household ❤️❤️❤️

I love that you wait for your parrot to stop, before speaking up yourself
I just bought your small bird food for my two budgies😊so excited
That Jersey is a heart stealer and Vinny oh my Gosh That Vinny
She really is a heart stealer I agree with you
Yay I'm early!! Marlene I'm really trying to convince my parents get a parrot, but mom is a clean freak, and shes not convinced. Even though I told he that they most likely won't be that messy, but as soon as the parrot drops even one thing out of the cage, I'll clean it up. But she still isn't convinced. Help me please. I cried my eyeballs out for a parrot. I commit to take care of the parrot the whole lifetime(whether mine or theirs). Help me, I beg you.
Birds are messy on their best of days. Not just toys, but they shake their booty, get poops on the walls, food on the walls, the floor whether carpet or not. Seed shells and crumbs can attract mice (and any other pets). If you have the cages open and aren't able to potty train like Marlene has been able to, then you also have extra laundry including linens/bedding and clothing, and cage covers. I love my two birds, but have back pain, and there are days where I simply cannot clean up after them, and they are not messy in comparison to big birds as it takes forever to shred a toy. If your parents have houseplants, many are extremely toxic to birds and birds will shred plants. Feeding them a healthy diet even for a small bird, the pellet/seeds can cost 20-30 a month, plus the cost and time to make fresh veg that you will need to chop up and store for them. Avian vets are few and far between and will cost you a fortune if you need one, most parents aren't willing to make the long drives to these vets, never mind paying the bills. I am not saying give up on your dream of having your own flock one day, but don't get a bird if you aren't prepared financially or with the time, to care for it. Your parents would also have to stop using candles, non-stick pans, air fresheners, keep windows and doors closed to avoid escapes, avoid chemicals when cleaning, and so many more things. It is not just about getting a cage and a bird and being done, the expenses even for a 15 dollar Budgie, end up being in the hundreds if not thousands over their lifetime just on things you need to change in your home. If everyone isn't prepared to make the change, then, unfortunately, a bird shouldn't be something you guilt your family into with tears. Instead, educate them, save your money, show that you are serious and can afford a bird emotionally and financially. Pick up extra chores around the house and show that you are not scared of doing the dirty jobs. If they still say no then continue to save for your bird once you have moved out and have a place of your own. You won't ever save too much for your feathered friend once you are able to get him/her.
I love watching u and ur birds bc i cant have one of my own rn and so just watching yall and seeing what its like and being able to watch u connect with them is the best
Awww. Jersey! I love her!😭😍
Jerseys hop though! 💚💚💚💚💚
My heart stopped when I saw the beginning, don’t scare me like that!
Marlene I totally support ur idea on the bird sanctuaries. Where I live there a lot of people who have birds and give them to a fruitbarn to take care of them. The people there do take care of them but birds are not engaged and a lot of them are macaws. I feel bad for them because they don’t know what it’s like to be out of there cage and some of them are very sweet birds.
