Why is jersey missing so mant feathers

[@notlemon9184]

Garrett Meyer because she’s a rescue and has anxiety so she plucks it’s not her fault though she’s living a good life

Love how happy and exuberantly cute Jersey is when she's strutting and prancing and "singing!" Monty and Nellie were happy to be with you getting so much attention. Nellie did her glamour blink and Monty danced around while pinning his eyes. Marlene, you bring out the best in your birds and they all love living there.

[@infectedcontactlensyes.5172]

Jersey going insane on the table makes me die of laughter and happiness. I LOVE IT!

[@happy1831]

Stay positive and keep the dedication and devotion to your beautiful birds. You are a special girl, Marlene. How is your sister? I miss her. She is so funny and just tells it like it is. Parents brought up kind-hearted ladies for the world to get to know. One Sniffer at a time 🥰

[@treasaclemons6444]

Thank you for sharing your birds and information. You, George, Jersey, Leo, Rocky, your whole family brightens my day and puts a smile on my face! We need more positive people in this crazy world!!! Thanks again!

That first one to say 'I' was the one that was rescued from a bad situation isn't she? Look how happy she is now! God bless you for helping her. I also love how excited she gets when you play her songs.

[@kidsfids7434]

What I love about this video is how it promotes interaction and engagement...period. As long as you're not putting your bird in harm's way, there's no right or wrong way...just spend quality time with them. I also loved when my eclectus, 'Cash' started singing along with Marlene and Jersey. He's still a baby and that was the first time I've heard him attempt to mimic.

Hi, Marlene, you are having so much fun playing with your birds!!! I have so much fun sitting on the floor with Baby and Beenie while they eat and run around to play with their toys and eat from their dishes! I like it when we just chill out together on the floor. We also sit together when I'm at the computer working. They will preen on my lap on their blanket and take a nap! Beenie will come up on my shoulder and arm to watch your videos and other videos, too! Baby will come up on my shoulder some times too. Love and big hugs to you, George and Family and Birds!

I loved Jersey running all around on the island. So cute.

[@kimmieb8376]

Jersey is the most adorable bird I’ve ever seen. You’re so lucky to have her.

[@ladylaois8184]

I agree ☝️ something so very special about her

[@kymcoats4146]

I've watched a lot of other Parrot KZbinrs but you definitely are the best with birds I have ever seen and YES your birds are awesome cause you make them that way! Be very proud!

[@reneemills-mistretta790]

Yep. Birds are so smart!! Nothing better then having great bonds & relationships with your birds. They are hilarious & I swear, they do know what they are saying to us. Yes, sometimes they are just talking to themselves or showing off their vocabulary. But then, there are those times they know us so well, they know what will make us laugh. You can be having a really crappy day and all it takes to break out of that mood is your bird saying, *Oh Stop it* or *Grow up* or, *hey stupid, what's wrong with you* the time with our birds is a give & take relationship because they could be having a bad day. A bad day for a bird is breaking their favorite toy or their owner running out of the door late for an appointment & you forget to give him/her quality time. Birds are AWESOME!! I prefer birds to people. 🤣😂😆😃

[@MARLENEMCCOHEN]

They really are I absolutely agree with everything that you said ❤️

[@sogood1935]

Jersey is my favorite. She's so funny and she always tries to make laugh. She's like a little clown.🤸‍♀️🎶💋

Hey Marlene is a book in your future? Maybe like Bird care 101, You and your Parrot etc? It would be a best seller.

[@compulsiverambler1352]

I need this video so much. I've invented some simple games my Indian Ringneck seems to like playing with me and on his own, but they've backfired, e.g. a game I call "Who dropped it?" Yeah I've basically taught him that throwing anything he can physically throw as far as he can and proudly announcing it is a game I'll be pleased with him for. *facepalm*

[@animallover5626]

🤣

[@annagardner2845]

I was making my CAG his breakfast this morning and he said "quick quick"! When I give him a treat he says "Whorrrr" but mostly I love it when I'm glammed up and he says "hello gorgeous whit woo" 😍😊 He loves to shred cardboard more than anything and it takes a long time to get him to accept toys. He says so many things but when he talks it makes me want to cry too for so many reasons.

[@MARLENEMCCOHEN]

Oh I totally feel you on that one I love knowing what other birds love to say because it's like a peer into someone else's household

I make amazing foraging Toys for my Bird! I use a toilet paper Roll and Fill one side with crankle paper and Then add sunflower seeds and peanut (she loves Peanuts and sunflower seeds) and Then add The crankle paper! or sometimes If I didn't have much Crankle paper I will use Paper straws! I make lots of these and some Keep in her cage and some out. if I know I'm leaving I will make this toy and then maybe Put treats In a paper and close it like a candy? this can keep her distracted if I have to study or need to go out.

My green cheek reminds me of Jersey with the hoop toy, in that that if you don't give her constant encouragement, she doesn't want to play lol. I'm trying to teach her to fetch, but if I don't cheer for her flinging the ball across the room she gets mad 😂

And one of the funniest things is how you point out Leo’s thunder thighs!! You remembered I pointed out his thighs a long time ago. 🥰 I remember he really showcased them in a video, leaning around on your shoulder. They looked like really cute-shaped triangles. And I have never heard him talk until today. LOLOLOL! His voice! LOLOLOL. He is SO human-like too. When I saw him I could see so much in his eyes

I sure like the videos you make this is probably my favorite video because it's the first one I ever saw and it's something that engaged my mind which was very important for me because my wife had just passed away April 6th only a couple of weeks before this came out so it's an important thing that helped me to live I'm only 54 and my Wife and I were married almost 26 years . This was the the second hardest thing that has ever happened to me the hardest being when I lost my 1st wife and daughter in 91' my daughter was 19 months old . Anyway these videos definitely take me away from that pain and make me laugh and smile so thank you so much for taking the time to do these videos they mean alot to me it's is now Nov. 10 , 2019 and I am doing mentally well and I am very sick myself but these videos keep my mind off of the negative things , so thank you God bless you and your family .

My YN Amazon loves to play with Legos. I'll build a shape with around 10 pieces or so for her, with larger and smaller pieces, that is also easy to hold (for her) and she will passionately take it apart. She gets so excited for this, I have to build several in advance and continue building more while she is taking apart the already built ones. Highly recommended for you guys.

[@nealpost2409]

Talking about George saying “ok”, totally reminded me of my Galah, Tidi. When he was around 4-5 months old, he started to mimic my ex-girlfriends laugh. Like... to the key. There were times I couldn’t tell who was laughing, my ex or Tidi. In any case... after some time, we’d notice Tidi would start laughing at the most appropriate time. We’d watch a rerun of Friends and before we’d get a chance to laugh at something they said, Tidi’s laughing. And we’d laugh more at that then what was on tv. At first, we thought there was something we couldn’t hear that he could that was cueing him. But then we’d notice during regular conversations, if one of us said something funny, Tidi would laugh right when one of us would. It amazes us to this day. Tidi really is amazing smart. And has an incredible sense of humor. 😊
