- [Mom] Capri, we have a mission.
- What?
- [Mom] Everybody wants to know
what the birds think of the snow.
- Okay.
- So, I was thinking you could take this bowl,
fill it snow outside, come back in
and we'll see what the birds think about snow.
- Okay, but I was thinking, like, small bowls.
- [Mom] Let's try a big bowl of snow, okay?
Make sure it's clean snow!
No yellow snow or brown snow.
(upbeat music)
Yeah, you can dump it.
Whoa!
- [Capri] You want me to go get more in these?
(bird squawking)
Can I have those dishes the birds eat out of?
(bird squawking)
- [Mom] Oh, look, Chrissy tried to eat it.
Go ahead and grab some more.
- [Capri] But, can I have, like, a bird dish?
- [Mom] Chrissy, are you eating snow?
(bird squawking)
Are you eating now, Chrissy?
She's like, what is this?
You wanna try some snow? (bird squawking)
(laughing) Literally says no.
Shakes his head no. (bird squawking)
Try some.
That was it.
That's snow.
Look at this.
See?
I know, right?
Who wants sunflower seeds?
Oop, hands.
You want a sunflower seed?
(wings flapping)
Chrissy...
What's in the snow?
(bird squawking)
(laughing)
Look, there's sunflower seeds in there.
(laughing)
I tried to put sunflower seeds in this one
and nobody's interested.
- [Capri] Maybe you could add millet?
- [Mom] Oh, look at that.
Chrissy might be interested in the snow.
- [Capri] Want me to get more?
- [Mom] No, I think we're good.
Don't think they like the idea of snow.
- Maybe put it in this side.
Mom! - [Mom] What?
The Conures are not being nice to him.
- [Mom] Is it Comet?
- Look. (wings flapping)
- They're sunflowers.
Sunflowers.
Can I have one?
(bird squawking)
- [Mom] Go for it.
You guys didn't get it. (laughing)
They're like-- (bird squawking)
- Do you want it? (bird squawking)
- [Mom] You do?
(feathers ruffling)
They're all just like, why?
Why, what is this stuff?
- Look it.
- [Mom] What is this stuff?
(bird squawking)
- There's little chunks.
- [Mom] What is it?
(laughing)
- He's so scared.
Let me give her
ice with mine.
(feathers flapping) (bird squawking)
Oh, she found it without.
(bird squawking)
(feathers flapping)
Just go after the snow already.
(feathers flapping)
- [Mom] All right, what if the snow is in a bowl?
That better?
A little bit better. (bird squawking)
Looks a little bit more normal.
All right, so, snow introduction was kind of a fail inside
so I'm thinking, maybe if they get to see it outside
it'd be a little bit more natural.
Maybe wouldn't get such a disdain for it.
So, we're gonna try with Comet.
We're gonna try with Comet.
And, take him outside and see how he reacts
to the snow outside,
but only for a bit because it's chilly here.
- [Capri] And you don't have snow pants.
- Yeah, I'm not wearin' snow pants
and Comet doesn't have snow pants.
So, we're not gonna spend a lot of time outside.
And I'm going to put a link to
properly acclimating your birds to cold weather
because we do do proper acclimation for when they go outside
in the Spring all the way through part of the Fall.
Are you almost ready?
- I have to get my gloves and my jacket on.
- Okay, okay let's go.
Go, go, go.
(bird squawking)
- [Capri] I said, I don't want to videotape.
- Can you just videotape please
and not be a brat about it?
Okay buddy, this the snow.
He's already super uncomfortable.
You wanna see?
What do you think of the snow?
Oh my God! (bird squawking)
He just is walking in it, Capri.
- [Capri] I'm looking at him.
- Comet, where ya goin'?
(laughing) (bird squawking)
Oh my gosh, you're so brave. (bird squawking)
You're so brave.
That was amazing, he just went right for it.
He's my walkin' machine, so.
You goin' back?
- [Capri] He's going to that side.
- [Mom] Comet, do you wanna try it again?
Come in the snow.
Oh, he face planted, good boy though.
You ate some.
Do you wanna come out?
He's like, maybe that wasn't such a great idea.
Do you wanna come?
- [Capri] Do you want me to make him a path?
- [Mom] Oh, he's sinkin' this time.
- [Capri] Do you want me to make him a path?
- All right, I think we're good, huh?
We're good.
We had our snow escapade, we're goin' back inside.
That was just a few minutes.
He surprised me though.
He went walkin' right for it.
Girls, you will never believe what happened.
I'm super proud of you, bud.
(birds squawking)
You were awesome.
Just kind of funny that he was totally okay with the snow
when it was in a bowl or outside,
but a pile on the countertop was a little too weird.
(laughing) But, yeah, so.
Well, we lost Capri outside
so she stayed out there to go play,
but I'm back in with some of my girly-girls.
The other two are over there.
Oh, over there.
But yeah, so, I would show you guys everybody's reaction
to the snow but it's just a little too cold to do
something like that,
and given that nobody was really excited about it indoors
I think I'm just gonna leave it at that.
So, there's my birds' reaction to snow
and why I don't just have them play with it.
They don't think it's that great
and my counter is totally soaked.
(birds squawking)
(laughing)
(birds squawking)
You cute little nuggets.
Look! - [Capri] Babies!
- Who has the treats?
Capri does.
- I have no treats.
I have no treats.
