Personal Update

A brief gloss-over of why we haven't been putting out more long form or training content.
TL;DR Dalton is swamped fixing both of our cars, birds are hormonal and uncooperative, I'm suffering. Send help.

Oh, the joys of dealing with a wrecked car on top of managing three feathered toddlers. Don’t worry; this too shall pass.

[@captainkg5910]

Big ups to Soleil and Ophelia for being delightfully disruptive support animals.

[@theauklet]

For the car repairs and to cheer you all up!

[@ApolloandFrens]

OML thanks so much 😭😭😭 we owe u a Shrock

[@RockandRollWoman]

​@@ApolloandFrensperfect response. Good girl, Tori! 😂

[@woodson21]

This is nice because this is real life. It’s not edited perfectly to make the viewer think that it’s just so easy what you do. No this shows it all, which is so refreshing and fun (at least for us). Tori you play the perfect straight to your partner’s (in this case partners’) craziness, the greatest of comedy duos.

[@the_nikster1]

I'm so glad that nobody got hurt in the accident and it was just while it was parked! also great to see you on camera Tori; the birds seem happy and healthy enough and am enjoying the content we do get. thanks for the update! ❤

[@aerelyamirart]

The way you grabbed your birb when "without getting upset". 🤣

[@__MPires__]

Honesty laid back video blogs like these are really nice to watch. Apollo it's just too cute. I love everything he does.

[@allgomesareevil6121]

We love the birds being smart, being challenged and cute but also them just being birds chaotic, curious and mischievous. Real life comes first always, being it trouble or you needing time off. We will be here watching new or old clips about you that amuses us (both birds and humans) that lightens our day.

[@voidliving6922]

I just became a patron! I’m glad to help y’all support yourselves ♥️

[@fwosti3548]

Me too! I'm excited for your success.

[@commerce-usa]

You are doing a great job. Unhappy to learn of your challenges. Love your content. The mission impossible short was fantastic. 👍

[@roxanneb111]

Take your time, get that you need done! We will be here when things settle down!

[@Catherinzsl]

I think your assistant camera operators are amazing. 👌🏼 Also appreciate that they let us know when they're ready for their CLOSE UP 👀

[@FU-Utube]

😂😂😂 the birds creating mischief while you gave updates was perfect

[@torchofgenesis]

No worries frens! I will continue to enjoy the short form content in the meantime and when you have time to bring back the longer stuff, that's great too! Always love to see Apollo and frens videos! They are the highlight of every day.

[@kristybowlin3055]

This little video was great !! It’s good to let people see and know just what it means to have these beautiful birds in your life/home. It’s work and you and Dalton are to be praised for giving these amazing birds such love , care and attention. God bless you all ! 💖🙏🏻

[@TSmith-yy3cc]

"It's not a real bird; it's you." Gold. Hope that things improve soon!

[@personofyt5348]

Haha! Apollo sneaking in the background, my parakeets also have a bad attitude sometimes

[@jenanimazed5932]

I love this video. Honestly if you guys only have time for videos like this, talking while the birds are constantly knocking down the camera, I would still 100% watch and love them. Bird behavior is so unpredictable and funny even when they’re not in a good mood that it’s amusing no matter what. I hope things calm down for you soon though! In the mean time Tori’s just gonna have to become the birds’ new favorite lol

[@kieribama]

Apollo and his sisters are right up close and personal with the camera trying to help. LOL! So sorry about the car issues, I understand more than you know! Take your time and do what you need to do. 💜💜💜🦜🦜🦜

[@therealdarklizzy]

Your guys birds bring endless amounts of joy to people, and we appreciate what you do. We also have been having car troubles. Stay safe, and I hope your troubles pass.

[@xyz7572]

I love how disruptive the babies are during this video 😂 Especially Soleil and Apollo lol Ophelia is such a well-behaved child compared to the other two, at least in this video 😆 Also, please take your time with the cars and everything else, and try not to stress too much! No worries, we’ll still be here when you come more regularly 😊 We all love your birdies way too much to forget about them just because you upload fewer videos for a while 😁 Good luck with everything! And lots of love from me and my birdies 🥰

[@dingdong2988]

Hope y’all get better with it keep up the great work ❤❤❤

[@katingkho8061]

This video is calming and chaotic at the same time lmao. I love it!

[@elisemiller13]

The Good news is, you and Dalton and the birds are okay, & hopefully no one was injured! Yeah, insurance is real "fun" to deal with and moods re cold front, but still...we love your content and thank you for the update. Hang in there, as "they" say, this too shall pass

[@nicholasryan7766]

Lol the way Apollo peeked around the corner from behind was priceless 😂

[@bion-geek-le1109]

my heart goes out to you and your precious little angels wish you all the best

[@bullatognya5480]

Hope you`ll get your troubles sorted out! I wish you only the best!

[@PointsofData]

Don't worry fam. We'll be here when you come back. Take your time and just do what you need to do. ❤️

[@lisatolliver2866]

Sorry about the car troubles, it can be so difficult! Apollo so cute with the photo bombs! It can be difficult with "kids". Hope things get better soon.

[@Ali-T1]

Sorry for your hassles, but this video has to be my fave, the birds were so funny and such menaces!! 🤣🤣😍

[@brucefields7009]

Never knew Soleil was capable of such havoc 😂 Meanwhile Ophelia is being a good birb

[@LSX_Tony]

You watch GumiChan 🍅

[@brucefields7009]

@@LSX_Tony yes. Love the wueweuweu sound Gumi makes 😂

[@GenevieveMathews-bu4ve]

Take your time!! You don't have to worry about posting too much. Even if you need to take a break, we totally understand. Shorts are always fun to watch and little vids like this just seeing the birds be natural is really cute. We're always here for you :)

[@LauraMe...]

OMGosh the girls are so big! Hope things turn around for you all soon!

[@debbiejennings9040]

Sending you all positive energy! Keep your chins up!

[@nannerpuss9430]

Take all the time you need! Lots of rewatchable videos of your birbs to tie us over while you two get sorted! Glad everyone is okay :)

[@cindee1794]

So sorry to hear about Dalton getting hit! Honestly though Tori, I really enjoyed this video for your facial expressions alone! I hope you both get past the rough patch soon. ❤

[@tanyagriffith2737]

😆This video was great! It was nice to seem them just being themselves like little kids. They stare at you like "oh it's mom" lol. Apollo could probably direct his own videos. lol Your candor was funny and interesting. Sorry about the car accident. Cheers from Canada

[@amywhigham4790]

Thanks for the update! Glad that Dalton didn't get hurt, glad to see you, Tori and the birds! No worries, you'll post when you can. 🥰☺️💖

[@Kenzamaka]

Thank you for the update! Take all the time you guys need, because all your videos are worth the wait.

[@jewels268]

If it’s any consolation, my African gray has been in a crappy mood the last few days too. Can’t imagine having 3 of them! We’ll wait patiently until things settle down for you. Blessings

[@tarajoyce3598]

Don't stress. Take the time you need to do what you need to. I do love the shorts so when you can. I like just watching them play (throwing) with their toys. I find who likes what interesting.

[@sunnycharacter]

Hey, it’s ok, bird life is bird life. We love every minute of watching your feathered babies. Grumpy or not! My Quaker is bipolar apparently, lol. But I can’t imagine my life without her! Life happens and pets do stuff. You’ll get through this.

[@mynameisjulci]

It is just good to see you guys are ok, despite the car troubles:) Everything is going to be fine🤗

[@CBrown86]

“Im doing this by myself, things have been kinda stressful “ Soleil: “Cool imma f*ck shit up”

Be well. I'm glad everyone is alright.

Don't worry guys, I've been on that car repairing deal before and it can take a bit. Take the time you need, we'll be here!

[@via_negativa6183]

Ironically this was pretty entertaining content in itself.

[@Alararar]

"It's not a real bird, it's you." 😆 For serious though, you're doing a great job toughing it out on your own, Tori.

[@vanessak69]

Short content is good too! I’m just happy to see you guys pop up in my feed :) Best wishes for your car troubles.

[@WatchDoggyDog]

cool update, post as ya can, it's always a worthy click. you's two and your birds are awesome! :)

[@MeatsOfEvil]

Don't underestimate the video appeal of birds knocking over the camera while you're trying to film lol

[@KCTeri]

I’m so sorry to hear about your car issues. Stay strong. On the lighter side…this video is hysterical! Luv your expressions & the birds in front of the camera LOL! This brightened my day. Thanks for sharing!

[@amandaspadazzi1899]

I love the shorts you've been posting lately... especially the mission impossible. It made me laugh when I was having a really horrible day. Sorry to hear life has not been too great for you lately. Most of us have been there and understand, even if we don't know the full story and all our stories are unique. Will be praying for both of you.

[@stillhere1425]

It’s kind of interesting to see them acting up and being unpleasant, as well as a good lesson to those of us who think it’s all fun and games living in an aviary.

[@roguenorton2309]

You're doing great! Don't worry, take what time you need!

Hope the vehicles are good soon. Love all of you!

[@yourcool.90]

I feel bad, hope everything comes to normal!

[@FreeTheOne1996]

Winter will go away I promise and this too shall pass and my question is as the birds get older do they actually behave better? Lol they’re a joy to watch. You should just take video of them doing whatever they want. I love watching them. You guys are amazing don’t bite your lip. It’ll all be OK.

[@fwosti3548]

Best wishes and good luck with the car n stuff.

[@sylviahoffman9440]

Good luck with the cars - they're a necessary evil that can be soooo challenging. Thanks for trying to give us an update with the birds giving you such trouble. It was kind of humorous, too. Hang in there!

[@saeadborji1464]

Just knowing that you are all well is what we care about. We can rewatch some of these goobers severl times.

[@marialogan8786]

I think you do a fantastic job. Oh Apollo is gonna LOVE YOU....he gets to pick his snack without working for it. I'll keep you both in prayer regarding your vehicles.
