- Okay, so.
I have been working with her in numerous aviaries,
switching her around,
so that she doesn't get too used to any specific aviary.
(bag zips)
She's totally fine with it.
The only thing she was a little nervous about
in our environment was the Swiffer
at one point. (Jinx squawks)
And that's it.
So diet seems good,
she's eating the pellets consistently.
(Jinx squawks) Seasonal feeding
as it's meant.
All that's good.
Unfortunately, today, I fed her late,
because my day was just going crazy.
And I don't think she's very motivated right now,
but I'm gonna try some different treats
that I haven't used before.
See if I can get her
to give a crap. (Jinx squawks)
(Jinx squawks) Want some sun-
(clicker clicks)
(Jinx squawks)
She just looks so fat and happy right now
that I dunno that she's gonna do anything.
Want to try again?
(clicker clicks)
(Jinx squawks)
So I did a sunflower seed on that last one
which I think she liked.
And then I just did a safflower seed.
My battery's already dying,
so I'm gonna switch my batteries real quick.
(Jinx squawks)
(metal clicks) Okay, new battery.
So I will say this is the most enthusiastic
I have seen her about the treats.
Do it again?
She still has that one in her mouth.
(Jinx squawks)
(clicker clicks softly)
(clicker clicks)
(Jinx squawks)
You can come.
(Fennel chattering)
You can come.
You're still eating.
This is brutal.
Will you work with this?
(clicker clicks)
Which treat do you want? (Jinx squawks)
Pine nut, huh?
(Jinx squawks) Okay,
I'm going to end on this,
because this is taking forever.
And I think if I just waited until later
she'd be more enthusiastic.
(Jinx squawks) So I'm calling this
as motivation blah.
(electro music)
All right, girl.
Do you wanna work?
Gonna do anything?
Come on.
(clicker clicks)
(Jinx squawks)
She's just
so uninterested.
(bird feed cracks)
(shoes rustling)
Okay.
Come on.
(Jinx squawks) (vehicle engine hums)
(clicker clicks)
(vehicle engine revving)
(machine beeps)
Why won't you just take the treat?
(Jinx squawks)
I'm still posturing.
Can you come? (phone chimes)
Why?
Do you want any of these treats?
Is the clicker bugging you?
Try getting rid of the clicker.
Can you come here?
Okay. (shoes rustling)
Can you come?
(shoes rustling)
Hold on.
(phone chimes)
Why are you so angry?
(car engine hums) (cage squeaks)
Come here. (lips smacking)
Hey, it's just a treat hand, girl.
(vehicle engine hums)
What is up with you?
Look.
There's treats in this hand.
Why are you so mad at it?
Come here.
Okay.
(shoes rustling)
(floor thuds)
Come here.
Come on.
(lips smacking)
Come on.
Good girl.
(vehicle engine roars)
I'll take you inside and work with you in there.
(metal clangs)
It's not working out here.
(door bangs)
(Capri sings)
- [Capri] Fennel.
(Capri sings)
(door squeaks)
(door bangs)
- [Capri] Do you know where's Cinnabun?
(drawer bangs)
(wings flapping)
- [Jamie] No, you had him last in the car,
I think when you were doing nails.
(Jamie grunts) - [Capri] I took him in.
And put him back. - Okay.
(shoes clomping)
(chair grinding)
(claws clicking)
Can you come here?
Good job.
Can you get on this T-stand?
Okay. (blind cord scrapes)
What do you think about that spot?
Looking out the window?
Is that a good spot?
(camera rattles)
(pop music)
- [Child] Now?
- Cute.
- [Child] I know,
it's a lot better. (bowl clangs)
(woman laughs)
And she jumped on my head before.
- Really?
- [Child] Yeah.
(bowl thuds)
- That's funny, I don't know- - I asked Jamie,
"Can I hold her?" (Jinx squawks)
And then she just jumped off the counter onto my head.
- Oh yeah.
(blender grinding)
- [Child] Then Jamie said,
"Well, how do you like holding her?"
(Jamie laughs)
- She's holding you. (laughing)
- [Child] Jumped on my head.
- Wait, I kinda want to hold her too then.
Teeny bit.
(cutting board thuds)
- [Child] Yeah.
Try and get the bottom of it.
(lively music)
(blender humming)
Oh, I touched a garbanzo bean.
(blender bowl thuds)
I said it.
- You did.
- [Child] Good for me.
(Jamie laughs)
- You're amazing.
- [Child] I know, right?
(blender bowl thuds)
- See how much she's learning here?
- I know.
Try to say garbanzo beans. - By being here. (laughing)
- She's doing great.
There's nothing I can teach her.
- (laughing) Yeah, she would not get
this stuff anywhere else. - What would I do
without you guys? - [Jamie] Let me tell ya.
(Jamie and woman laughs)
(camera rattles) (hip-hop music)
- [Child] Now there's less carrots when there should
have been more carrots.
- [Jamie] Well, there'll be more carrots.
(bowl thuds)
But yeah.
(lively music)
- [Woman] We already have things planned.
- [Jamie] Yeah.
But it's pretty chill.
- Hi.
Is that good or bad?
She just fluffed up.
- [Jamie] She's fine.
- I mean, she loves to-
- [Woman] I mean, I've been to Blaine park before,
but I haven't been to this one.
What's it called?
- [Jamie] I don't know.
I know it's in Spokane Valley.
I don't-
- [Woman] Yeah, I picked the one called Dubai.
- [Jamie] Okay.
- [Woman] It used to be called Boom Shaka,
but it's now called Dubai.
(lively music)
- [Jamie] Wanna help?
(pestle grinds)
(bowl thuds)
- Did you say Rascal now?
- I heard bird food.
(floor thudding)
- [Jamie] No,
I was asking Fennel,
"Do you want to help me some make food for Rocko."
- Oh.
- Weird.
(carrot grates)
- [Girl] Mom, what do you put in Rocko's food?
(bowl clangs)
- If you couldn't have dogs or birds,
what animal would you have?
- If I couldn't have dogs or birds?
- Hm-mm.
(bowl thuds)
- [Jamie] Horse. (wings flapping)
- [Girl] Huh? (beet grates)
- [Jamie] Said, "A horse." (laughing)
- That'd be my animal.
- [Girl] (laughing) My friend has horses.
- [Jamie] Sugar, just go and find out where Fennel
is stuck up, please. - I said it's just
a holter thing around it.
(beet grates)
- [Jamie] And bring her back with you.
(beet grates)
- [Girl] Yeah, Capri was telling how the horses she rides,
they put a string through their mouth.
I don't think they do that with their horses.
- [Capri] It's not a string it's a-
- [Jamie] A bit.
- Mom, she won't come up for me.
- [Girl] What?
The baby?
- [Jamie] Fennel and Rusty. (liquid slurping)
- And who?
- Rusty. - Rusty.
- I don't know who Rusty is.
- [Jamie] The green one.
- The green one. - Oh, that one.
(leather chair squeaks)
(lips smacking)
Why was he going over there?
I mean she.
- Mm, what's going on?
You can have some of the food I'm making for Rocko.
- [Girl] He won't eat all of it. (laughing)
- She.
She.
- [Girl] I was talking about Rocko.
- Oh. (packets rustling)
Well, he will,
just not all of that at one time.
- I'm not a big fan of that type of smell.
- Mm-mm.
I like this smell. - Beets and carrots?
- [Girl] Huh?
- [Jamie] Beets and carrots?
- [Girl] No, just the beets. (laughing)
(packets rustling)
- I like the smell
of the pineapple. - Aw, Fennel,
you're making a mess. (water whooshing)
- [Jamie] She's making a mess?
She's really good at making a mess.
- [Capri] Cressi.
- [Jamie] Yeah, that's Cressi.
- [Girl] And what's this?
Is that Capri's?
- [Jamie] Why do we keep 'em outside?
- [Girl] Yeah.
- It's really good for them,
have fresh air and sunlight.
- [Girl] Is Cressi, Capri's bird?
(cutting board thudding) - No.
- [Capri] No, Bondi is.
- Fennel. (wings flapping)
- So is Blueberry. - You're off again.
(cutting board thudding)
- [Capri] Berry's mine.
- Not into meal prepping.
- [Capri] Blueberry is mine though.
- [Girl] What's Bondi look like?
- [Capri] Bondi's the African Grey.
- [Girl] Oh, that one.
Really?
- Good job.
- Don't let her bite me.
- [Girl] Don't let her bite you.
- [Jamie] It didn't look like it.
Do you wanna put her on the back of the chair?
She might be more comfortable with that.
- [Girl] You probably just are scared of that.
- I don't, I'm not used to it.
- [Jamie] Good job, Capri.
- [Capri] I can't see.
- [Girl] Do you usually train
these young birds to do all this?
- [Jamie] I don't usually have as young of them,
I usually have the older ones like Rusty,
but when I was consulting with a client about Fennel,
the client just felt like she couldn't get through
to her trainer,
so I offered to help her out. (bowl thuds)
- [Girl] And do it?
- [Jamie] Well, she's young to be trained.
- [Girl] But-
- [Jamie] She's six months.
They should be pretty good by now,
especially for how mischievous that she is,
but she's still not very friendly.
- [Girl] What do you mean by- - [Jamie] But she's fine.
She just doesn't usually want to hang out with humans,
which might just be her personality.
But I wanna try to teach her that humans
are pretty cool. (water whooshing)
So that she likes her humans more.
- [Girl] Mm.
- [Jamie] And wants to spend more time with them.
But they said that she was scared
of everything and that she's really, really moody.
And-
- [Girl] I mean,
I think I get that moody part so far. (laughs)
