- Okay. So we went on a free flight trip and
of course we took lefty and two shakes.
We've been taking them on all of our road trips
- we've been taking them all the time.
Yeah. And so this was their second road trip I think?
I'm not we are not quite sure.
And what ended up happening is we had our friend Daniel come
out to do a lot of video and photos for us
- And he asked if he can keep Lefty.
(Gentle lifting music)
- What did we say?
- (in whispers)I said yes then I changed my mind
- (laughing)Okay.
- So Daniel wanted our blessing
to send in an application for a lefty
and lefty actually hasn't gotten any applications
for people that have wanted to adopt him, which is shocking.
We thought that lots of people would want to adopt lefty.
Cause he's so nice.
- Yeah and really cuddly
- really cuddly.
And so we've been kind of bummed out
that there's been nobody applying to adopt lefty.
- Yeah.But when we went to see what's his name(in whispers)
- Daniel - When we went to see Daniel
he was like,
can I keep Lefty, then we said like, what did you say?
- I said, if he promised to one,
- Let him have like 12 hours of sleep
- every night.
- (nodding)
Because one night
he was with him for like,
how much,
- really late,
- really late.
He didn't get 12 hours.
- No.
And he was falling asleep on Daniel.
And we were like, Hey,
you gotta make sure Lefty's getting enough sleep at night.
That's one of our rules.
Yeah.
- And we were, Where were we driving?
- We were in Nevada.
- All I remember is that we were driving mom
and I just the two of us,
I think we went to go get bubble tea
- probably
- Because She loves bubble tea more than I do.
(chuckles)
(Nodding)Yeah.
- Thanks.
Anyway,
So we made Daniel promise us three things.
One was that lefty will have 12 hours of sleep every night.
- Every night
The second was, that he would never clip his wings.
- Yeah. Cause one actually burn to say
he has good wings do he still fly ?
Yeah. He's really good at it.
Tales and theirs are like broken.
- Yeah. How can you fly like that?
- And he's still been able to get around, but his wings
are growing in.
So should be soon.
The third promise we had Daniel make is that he
would keep lefty on the really, really great diet
that he's already on
of fresh foods and happy and healthy pellets.
And of course be sweet to him
And love him.
- Yeah. (Whispering)oh my gosh ,i see a squirrel.
Oh, I see this squirrel too.
Yeah. I see the squirrels go after doves a lot.
- Really
Oh, that squirrel comes for the doves food.
Did you see that
- Yes
Sorry I was too late.
This is why you don't leave the dove container out.
- (laughing)
Wicked squirrels.
So back to Daniel and lefty.
- So Daniel made all these promises to us about lefty.
So then the only problem was
is Daniel lives in Florida
and lefty the rescue is actually in Utah.
Now one of the cool things about this rescue is
that they make sure that the birds meet the owners.
The potential owners are adopters quite a few times
before they ever adopt out to make sure that the bird
and the owner develop or establish a connection
which Daniel and lefty definitely did.
They spent a week together
because we were there on this flight trip for a week.
And he took some really cute photos of you and lefty.
- Huh,Lefty is sleeping next to Daniel
And he's like a lot of selfies.
So we decided after a lot of thought
the cool thing about lefty going to live with Daniel
is that Daniel has a wife and a daughter.
- He never told me that.
Yeah, he did
- Remember he FaceTimed with Scarlet
his daughter who's the same age as you.
And we thought, how cool is it that he has a little girl
the same age as Capri, that lefty can also get along with.
So he's going from our home, which is a family of three.
So their home, which is a family of three.
And he's going to be their only pet
which I think is so awesome
because he's going to get all the love and attention.
- Can we also teach Daniel like how to play
with lefty with stuff?
Yeah.
- And you show them a lot
of stuff when we were there in person.
- Not really.
He wanted me to show later, but we both forgot.
- Okay. Okay.
I'm sure that he can watch some of the videos
and learn what we did with lefty.
One of the cool things that's at Daniels has a really
big screened in area with a pool.
And so lefty is going to be able to get lots
of natural sunlight and lots of baths, which are
- No swim.
And we're probably going to be okay.
- Well to go visit lefty this winter, when we do
our family friendly parrot tour in Florida
would you want to go see lefty and go visit them?
Let's see how he's doing.
Yeah, me too.
So we are very excited for Lefty's future.
We can't wait to update you guys when we go
and visit him this winter in Florida.
And of course we'll be showing you what it looks
like when he gets handled, delivered by Dave
to Daniel's family.
So is there anything else you want to say about
lefty? Go and stay with Daniel
- No, except I do want to say that squirrel has to
get out.
- (Laughing) this girl.
- So what was your favorite thing about working with lefty?
- When we first got him, he was a little scared.
Then he got more and more trust
that we were being sweeter and he learned more
since I was in the back with them that he likes me more.
Then you too, that was your favorite thing.
Yeah, because I realized every time I got close to the cage
he was like, he was coming closer and closer thing.
That was really sweet about him.
That's my favorite bit.
Those were my favorite bits with him
I liked him being really sweet.
- Yeah. I think my favorite things
about him or when I taught him to wave.
Cause this wave is super cute on.
Dad made fun of it.
And then also how he fell asleep with you in bed.
- That was one of my other favorites
and have taught him to roll
over. What
- Kind of birds do you hope we get to work with next?
- I don't know, but I really wanted choose.
- You want to choose?
Yeah. Could you choose a big one or a small one?
- Probably a small one.
- What do you want to say to Daniel and family?
Let's say
- Take care of love to you.
Loving him so much.
Love him the most.
- And then you've ever loved any animal ever.
Cause he deserves the world.
Right? And all the love they have to give.
What do you want to say?
- I have lots.
He's really happy with you guys.
Take care of them by left.
Thanks. You too.
See you guys in the winter.
- So one of the things that people always comment
on these videos is they say
that we should keep lefty and we should keep Morgan.
And we should keep every time we work
with a project or they say we should keep it.
What would happen
if we kept all the birds that we worked with
- She says, we wouldn't be able to feed them all.
I have enough water for them because it would take up a ton
of space tab.
We were burned way more money
because we need to buy a ton of stuff
- To take care of all those birds would.
Do you think we would have time to spend
with all those birds?
If we kept it all
- That's Ellis.
What I was going to say
- What's one of the reasons that we work
with these birds for just a little amount of time.
And then we find them really great homes.
Why do we do that?
- Because we can't have all of them
or what we just talked about is what will happen.
But
- It feels awesome to be able to help these birds
and help these people who ended
up adopting them great homes.
Because now these people do have time
like lefty is going to be the only pet in that home.
They're going to have tons of time for him.
- And I'm so happy.
They don't have a dog cause doc can kill the bird.
Yeah.
- And so that's really amazing.
Whereas lefty and our home, we have to make more time
for him because we have a lot of birds and a lot of
- Stuff going on.
Like that much birds.
Yeah. A little more.
- So I think we're going to stick with working
with the birds instead of keeping all the birds.
Huh? Good plan.
And you are going to be my assistant trainer
- Or I'm going to be your assistant trainer knit.
- I think so.
I think I'm your assistant.
You did all the training this time.
- You think you still have, you got a ton of stuff too.
Okay. Thanks kiddo.
But I still got to be with him most.
I think we make a good team.
Okay. I hope he lives
- Say I hope left.
He loves being with you guys have fun with him.
Daniel and Scarlet and Justin.
- Okay. That's it.
That's what she said.
