Ask Jessi 9!

[@ShadeSlayer1911]

Jessi's attitude towards criticisms, negative comments, and even personal attacks is perfect. Constructive criticism is good and taking them with an open mind helps you improve. Negative comments aren't anything to worry about (especially when your channel is overwhelmingly liked and loved by your viewers). And personal attacks can't hurt you if you don't let them. Role model you are, Jessi.

[@courtneyl7748]

Jesse, to counter some of the professional and personal attacks that come your way, I just wanted to let you know that you have become somewhat of a role model around our house. I have an eight year old red-headed little girl that wants to be like you when she grows up and take care of rescue animals. no joke! you have really inspired her to pursue a love of animals and science. Keep up your amazing work and attitude!

[@yankeepotroast4169]

it's obvious you take exceptional care of the animals. i hate paperwork too....maybe line some enclosures with the most frustrating bills/forms/applications etc. for a day so the animals can "weigh in" with their opinions about it too. haha. love your channel!

[@oOVanillaMelOo]

Thank you so much for answering my question! It's so hard to work with animals (amazing! But hard at times) and I thought it would be hard because of the animals but I realized that it's made hard by other people... your answer really reassures me that, no matter how good you are, you still can't be immune to criticism and haters. You're amazing! Thank you again! ❤️❤️❤️

[@syrenawebb2605]

i admire and love you guys so much! its wonderful that you are there for the animals

[@animalwondersmontana]

Syrena Webb Thank you 😄 I'm still amazed that we're able to give all these amazing beings a happy and healthy home. Couldn't ask for more than that.

[@itskylierae]

I luv that u r so positive. Your channel is great and very helpful. Keep on doing what ur doing and don't listen to the haters. I luv u

[@chrisnightly6]

I would love an update on how Rook is doing. I absolutely love ravens.

[@maxor2277]

What a great and optimistic person you are! :D I hope you can continue to be able to provide excellent care for the animals while teaching us people of the internet about them for a long time from now. Also, do you plan on making longer videos and/or doing live streams of some of your animals simply hanging around? I know it may seem a bit boring, but I feel it would be really nice and relaxing to be able to watch a live feed of, say, the hedgehog or porcupine moving about in their enclosure when I get home.

[@YoungStreetzD]

Love all of these amazing videos! Jessi you rock and are absolutely an amazing person! Can't understand why anyone would think otherwise. You and your videos bring amazing info and also put smiles on many people's faces! Love everything you and AnimalWonders is doing :)

[@kkulgang89]

hi Jessi! just want to let you know how much I enjoy your videos! I respect you for being able to shrug off the bad comments (I generally don't read comments for this reason..) and you are just amazing! thank you for making such awesome videos and keeping up the amazing work!!!

[@LyssandraNorton]

Thank you for your positivity! I appreciate your strength in the face of online harassment.

[@unknown1859]

Jesse I love your channel, Honestly this is so much informative. Thank you you

[@b21.9]

I admire your positive attitude and vibes! You are a truly wonderful person and I am so inspired by your amazing work. Thank you so much❤️

[@Ravenzpeak]

Wow, you are such smart talented people! You really make a difference in the lives of the animals and I've learned so much - Thank you!

[@pestipesto58]

I absolutely ❤️️ your guys vids and I wanted to let you know that people may not think your special, but you're more than special. You are extraordinary in everything you do. You take care of your animals really good and keep up the fin-nominal work😄

[@foxtail4358]

Thanks to Your channel I got myself a spare time job as volunteer in animal shelter Jessi! :) Your influence working on the other side of the globe right there.

[@Believe231]

That's great to hear! Keep it up and here's to wishing you the best with your volunteer experience!

[@foxtail4358]

Thank You :)

[@angep3538]

Thank you so much for all you do for the animals, Jesse!

[@unplannedsyntax]

Thanks for your great job! As an animal lover, I've learned quite a lot and will keep learning so much more with you!

[@oliviapeng4790]

I have been obsessed with ur videos lately, I think I watched most of ur videos by now.

[@animalwondersmontana]

Olivia Peng Even those really old ones with terrible video quality and cringeworthy audio!? Thanks for watching!

[@LilMissDiscord]

I had to giggle when you mentioned people not liking how you sound, my fiance always knows when I'm watching one of your videos because of how enthusiastic you sound and he'll usually come and watch the video too for that reason. We think your voice is just perfect 😊

[@anyabehringer783]

Omg yah! You answered my question! I'm just watching this now because I had a lot of school work last night haha.

[@Jainatina]

You're awesome. Your business is awesome. I'm so thankful that you share the animals with us and are dedicated to their care.

[@GraceMcClenathan]

WWOOWW!!! That was so unexpected I was hoping you would have put one of mine in there, but, man! Thank you so much!

[@deadscenerecords]

Jessi, you rock. Keep doing what you do!!!

[@arunimaabhilash6061]

AGREED ! AWESOME JESSI ! AWESOMELY DO WHAT YOU DO!

[@LampDoesVideogame]

Jessi, it is beyond obvious that you love every animal you care for, and you know how to care for them. You really are wonderful with each and every one of them. And you're just wonderful, as a KZbin Host and animal informer. Background watcher, but have watched since I first saw you on SciShow, at least... 4 years ago, and will keep watching. Thanks for all you do! And when it comes to chimp attacks, the one I know of is from... 5 or 6 years ago? Woman with a pet chimp had her face... Well, mangled... Have you had any other experiences with that?

[@4evergraciek920]

your personality is a big part of why i watch :)

[@metime00]

This channel makes me so happy

[@Saihitei7]

Hi Jessi, I'm very glad you have Rook the raven as one of your animal ambassadors, as these birds tend to get a bad rap for their appearance and diet. Could you tell us why you think ravens are awesome?

[@animalwondersmontana]

Clever Corvid Let me count the ways! Patient, thoughtful, ruthless, cunning, persistent, loyal, playful, secretive, adventurous.

[@Saihitei7]

Thanks for replying! How has Rook been? :)

[@Kayla-ts1eh]

You're amazing! Thanks for video they are so helpful!

[@mjh666]

Love your vids and all the wonderful creatures you care for.

[@kvdhaak8284]

[@sky1zero]

[@maurelp]

Wow! You make some pretty good videos. Love your love for animals. Well done. Went around Montana summer 2016. Awesome. Wish one could pop in for some coffee to say hello and see what you do

[@lopezalbert96]

this video and channel is so wholesome! ( :

[@jjadames3547]

jessi this video was so inspiring andyour determined to not let them get to u is great

[@alwaysfallingshort]

I am hooked on this channel.

[@PeartFan76028]

I'm curious as to how often and how you go about bathing the guinea pigs. It might be a good video for the future! Love your channel, your mission, and the work that you do.

[@Confuseddalek]

the bearded dragon hamming it up again @1:50 lol

[@fromscratchauntybindy9743]

Big hug Jessi - well done for not feeding the trolls 😊 Unless - you rescue real life trolls - that'd be cool 😉

[@karstent8138]

Hey Jessi, I just recently discovered your channel. You are fantastic!!!

[@georgiefurness3582]

Omg I love you even more now that I know your a Harry Potter fan!! 😂

[@daniellel1705]

[@hollyodii5969]

Jessi, you are AMAZING!!!

[@foreverstyle26]

I would love to see you shop or unbox the foods in the jars at the back. You would do a follow me around kind of thing. 😍

[@luminalsaturn2]

Hi Jessi! Just found your channel a couple days ago; subscribed! My question for you is: What is your favorite species of spider? Mine is the Jumping Spider (I think the one that lives in my area is Phidippus Workmani, or Workman's Jumping Spider), because they are absolutely adorable, and very smart and charismatic! The males are a bit spastic and, well, jumpy; and the females are calmer and more cautious. I love having them in our house to eat of those ANNOYING fruit and soil flies!

[@jenkimberly1202]

Hey Jessi love your videos! they are so informative. Other than budgies and cockatiels, what are some good beginner birds?

[@b21.9]

I was wondering how do you balance your time and attention between your own family (especially after knowing that you have a twin that are still young) and over 80 animals?? You're amazing!

[@HarryFANGIRLPotter]

Hi Jessi, I've been researching on green cheek conure for the pass few months because I'd loved one. I remember in one of your videos you said to dump out all non stick pots and pans because the fumes that come out from them when they're heated/overheated could instantly kill the bird. Though I do want to change my pots and pans, that's not fully in my control as I don't live alone. So I was wonder is there anyway I could still have a bird and cook? Like turning on the fan above the stove, opening a window, and keeping the bird in another room while those items are being used? Is that too risky for the time being before I could get new, safer pots and pans? Thanks, and I absolutely love your videos and Ginger is so cute!

[@skylas.awkward1923]

can you please make a video on how to care for babby birds i have 2 4week old sun conures and i would like to know if im doing the very best for them

[@hunterkat]

What do you feed Agent Perry? I've seen a lot of arguments for/against seed diets, and since I want to get a pair of parakeets I want to make sure they're well taken care of! 😊

[@jesusdelgado9682]

I love jessi she's always positive and I have a question if you can help with my cockatiels I'm trying to tame them any tips? there about 1 year old😊

[@BiizQ]

How would someone go about converting an outside cat to an indoor cat?

[@emmulah]

Brian Piper that's a super good question

[@AncientManBeast]

AyyLmaorusaurus Well it's as simple as just keeping them inside. Because they're used to being in a more stimulating environment you should definitely increase enrichment , ie toys , cat furniture, play sessions and\or games anything to stimulate they're mind. You could also try getting them used to a leash and harness to take them on walks , there's definitely a right and wrong way to do this. You will want to use positive reinforcement/exposure, I recommend watching a video about it. Good luck!

[@PinkChucky15]

Yay, I love Ask Jessi videos :-)

[@tomsjirgensons2343]

can you make a video abaut best big parots for beginer bird kepers

How do you keep all your reptiles warm enough during the winter?

[@dingdong6028]

I just finished voting for you as CNNs hero. If you win it would be awesome publicity

[@seatails]

Hey Jessi! I know you have a lot of videos about how you care for parrots, but I was wondering what or if it's different for the doves and pigeons? Since they are really very different birds. Thanks!

[@rubyreptiles879]

how many snakes do u have and can u show them all and talk about how u got them

[@MsWaterlily100]

How do you identify gaps in your educational program?

[@jaslenep5112]

I love you videos I'm a animal lover and a question that I have is what are your favorite and why and also what was the first animal you saved?

[@animalwondersmontana]

Jaslene // july101 I don't have a favorite animal. There are top animals for different categories, but favorite overall is waaay too stressful for me to choose. First animal I saved was a horse who had a bum knee and would have been euthanized because she couldn't be ridden. I was able to give her 15 good years of love and health before her leg could no longer hold her. She's one of my pillars of love.

[@arnodrijfhout3858]

I LOVE ANIMALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@antonsarunic7627]

Jessi I have a cockteil and he is realy scared i have him 3 days and i watched your video bird first day home and i tried to give him a bit of food from my hand then he starts to running from me and he hrt himself his left wing has a bit blood what i have to do now with his wing and with our relationship.Btw your videos are awesome!

[@emabolt7995]

Are you a vegan? If not, have you ever considered it? And what are you're thoughts on veganism in general? Love your channel and all you do for the animals ❤️

[@justjuiceme2]

Hi Jessi! Do you do any data recording daily with the animals you keep?

[@leeeorama]

I notice that often when you have small reptiles on SciShow, they don't take long before you notice that they're getting cold, even though they're being held in your or Hank's hands. Are human hands not warm enough to keep these reptiles comfortable?

[@nanabat31]

Do you have any tips on traveling with birds?

[@Reepicheep28]

Hi Jessi! We've got two cats. One, the older one (about 5 years old), is super prone to nervousness and anxiety from some trauma she experienced as a kitten. The other one, about 2 years old, is super energetic and likes exploring, playing, and figuring out (simple) puzzles - she's a rescue who's much better socialized. Do you have any suggestions for how to keep the younger one engaged and stimulated throughout the day? Ideally without any major environmental shifts?

[@ShadeSlayer1911]

How long have you had the older one? Sometimes it might just take some time for a cat (or any animal) to heal from past trauma. Look at Joy. Jessi's been at her for 2 years or more now, and Joy still isn't fully trusting yet. As for keeping an anxious and nervous cat stimulated, I'm not sure. Maybe give her a box to hide in. I know that cats hide in boxes to help with their anxiety (they're kinda anxious animals by nature). That might help her anxiety which then might lead to her feeling more comfortable doing normal cat things.

Hi Jessi keep up the amazing work ! How is Rook ? Is she less nervous with you than the last time we saw her ? It would be cool to see her again ! C:

[@pazamataz]

Hiya Jessi!I am looking to rescue some doves or pigeons when I get a stable place and income to live, after I do my research of course but how do I tell reputable rescuers? Where's the best place to look for rescues and what are some warning flags? Are there bad scenarios those looking to rescue animals fall into often?

[@1000nunu]

hey jessi i have a question for you (and anyone in the comments who might have helpful advice). i have a friend with a pet parrot and i know shes not taking care of it right. ive tried sending her your videos and in fact the one about how to know youe bird is sick is how she discovered her bird had been sick for a while. she keeps saying shell give the bird away cause she doesnt have time to take care of it - but its been a year. the bird is still sick- poops everywhere constantly and i feel bad. what should i do??
