- Oh my goodness, Beanie! (metal clacks)
Hold on one sec.
Look what you did to that toy, it looks so good!
Look at that toy!
Started out looking like that,
obviously working on the center.
Good job. All right.
We're gonna try Bean for the first time.
See if he wants to go to the big aviary.
(ambient electronic music)
Want a little piece of birdie bread?
(Bean coos)
He's just like, "I'm just gonna hold it."
So he's probably gonna get scared,
you're too close, Capri.
Thank you.
- [Capri] Well, looks pretty good in the shot.
(Jamieleigh laughs)
- [Jamieleigh] I just don't wanna scare him,
because this is already gonna make him nervous,
probably gonna try to fly
when we get close to those hanging chains.
- [Capri] Do you want me to move them?
- [Jamieleigh] It's okay.
It's okay.
So, our entrance is a little different now
(chains and gates rattle)
- [Jamieleigh] Good boy!
- [Capri] So, I'm gonna let them go first.
Stay right there.
- [Jamieleigh] Good. - [Capri] Shut this...
(indistinct)
Mom, don't lock us in.
- [Jamieleigh] I won't. (laughs)
Good, all right, look at you.
Start here?
Eat your birdie bread?
- [Capri] So this is what it looks like.
There's something he can climb on right here.
It's a swinging thing that he can do.
And then, he can play with this. It's--
- [Jamieleigh] Can you video tape him
so they're not gonna get sick
watching the camera?
He's a little nervous out here. He's shaking.
(mumbles)
It's okay, Bean. We're here with you.
(birds chirp in the distance)
- [Capri] Can you hold this, mom? It's getting a bit heavy.
- [Jamieleigh] Yeah.
(Bean chews softly)
- [Capri] He has been super good.
It's a good step for a bird.
Good boy!
So he is a tiny bit scared.
He's shaking a lot, I don't know if you guys can tell.
- [Jamieleigh] All right, you finished your bread!
You feeling any better?
Do you wanna move around in here?
Do you wanna come? Good job!
He is stepping up so good now.
This is gonna be new.
You up for two new things in one day?
Oh, he's a little nervous about this.
It's okay.
Not up for that, okay. That's all right!
Do you wanna try this?
Oh, look at you! What a big boy!
It moves a little bit.
It does. It moves a little bit.
(birds caw in the distance)
(laughs) This is totally new for you.
Here. (Bean chews softly)
There you go. Gave him some birdie bread.
Liberally using birdie bread as my treat.
This is new because this swing swings.
He hasn't been on a swing at my place yet, so.
There's a lot of different surfaces in here.
He was good with the training stand,
not good with this, (laughs)
still have this one, he's good with this one,
we still have the rope to try.
(a bird calls in the distance)
Two in a day, though, is pretty awesome for Bean.
(birds caw in the distance)
There's a lot more noises out here I think,
so even though he's used to being on the porch,
I think birds feel a lot more exposed
when there's not a solid roof over their head,
you know what I mean. (birds caw)
You can see through everywhere over here.
We do have a tarp on one side to help block some wind,
but it's seen better days, we need a better method.
(laughs) I would love to get him to the point
where he could spend the majority of his day out here
instead of on the porch.
Bean, what do you think?
Can we get you to walk a little bit on there?
(birds chirp)
Can we get you to walk a little bit?
(birds call)
Oops, sorry, guys.
It is super hard to film at the same time,
because look at him.
Hey bean! Bean. (Jamieleigh chirps)
Come over here.
He's like, "What in the world."
Come on, come on! Good boy.
It's okay. Good boy! (laughs)
Good boy, good boy!
You did it!
He's a little freaked that this is moving.
I'm shocked he hasn't flown yet,
just out of his normal freak out and fly.
It's normally his MO.
Do you wanna come back over here?
Can you come move over here actually? This would be new.
Can you come move over here?
Come on, you can do it!
Oh, you can do it, bud.
Come on.
Come on, come on!
Come on, Bean!
Come on, bud.
It's okay. It's not really helping having
Capri play in the background.
Bean. Hey. So many distractions out here.
Come on, come on!
You can do it, come to the center.
(gasps) Good boy! Good job!
And he stayed there.
Good job!
The harder thing about treating with birdie bread
is making the pieces small. It's hard.
It's either crumbs or a big chunk.
(laughs) (birds chirp)
Look at you,
being so brave today!
Being so brave, Bean.
You wanna keep trying to climb across?
You wanna keep coming?
Hey, bean?
Come across?
It's okay, it's okay.
Calm down.
Good job!
Good job.
Kind of cool, huh?
(Bean chews softly)
There's a lot of stuff going on out here.
So we changed our entrance of our catchall,
this is basically, our catchall is a whole other aviary.
It's one of my five-but-eight aviaries,
and I stole some parts to it
to make one of my indoor cages divided
that wasn't originally divided.
So, in doing that, I basically took a half-panel
and put it here and then put the chains
and then another half-panel on the other side.
So it's no longer a full-on aviary catch,
it's like our own self-made one.
But, I like it.
How're you doing?
Did you finish your bread?
You wanna try some more?
What if I give him something else...
Wanna come over here?
Come on over.
Kind of cheated, I wanted you to come all the way over.
I think that's a macadamia nut, a little bit of one.
He does not like it, he just dropped it.
(laughs)
You don't like that? Okay.
Keep trying, what about...
I think this is a pistachio.
Hey, Bean. Do you wanna come over here?
Wanna come over here?
He's like, "Not for a pistachio I don't."
Over here?
No.
He's like, "I'm not falling for it again."
- [Capri] Did he get up there by himself?
- [Jamieleigh] I put him up there, but he let me.
There we go!
Good job. Let's see if he likes pistachio.
Nope, (laughs)
he dropped it.
Okay, how about on this side?
Oh, I dropped it.
Come on over.
Come on over!
Look, Bean, I put a little nut over here.
He's watching the wild birds.
(birds chirp)
(feathers ruffle)
Not sure about this.
Quite a lot of noises.
You're doing awesome though.
Think he deserves an actual reward he wants.
Okay. Birdie bread?
Yeah. Yeah I think so. (laughs)
(birds chirp in the distance)
What do you think?
You wanna go back inside?
Do you wanna come?
Oh, you want head scratches? (feathers ruffle)
You wanna stay out here, or you wanna go inside?
Well, no, you're way up there though.
(laughs)
So you don't wanna come, you just want head scratches?
You sure?
Do you wanna come inside?
You're good?
Just wanna make sure you're actually good.
(laughs)
That's what he does when I offer my hand.
He's like, "Yeah, you can scratch me."
Okay, think you might be interested, oh, nope, okay.
(laughs)
Just making sure that you're happy out here, you know.
(feathers ruffle) (birds chirp)
Do you wanna walk a little further for some birdie bread?
Bean, no look up here. Bean.
(laughs)
Look at you, you're doing the swing.
Good job, bud.
All right, I'm gonna let you hang out
and get accustomed with this area,
see if you want down in a little bit.
I'd say that's successful for the fact that he's not like,
"Get me out of here!" You know?
Okay, bud.
(gate rattles)
(sighs)
See you in a little bit.
He's so tiny in this aviary. (laughs)
So tiny.
You doing good?
(train horn sounds in the distance)
You all right if I'm not in there?
No, you look antsy.
(train horn sounds in the distance)
Not so fun anymore?
Well, maybe he's okay. He wasn't sure.
He's like, "Wait, you're not in here."
You can actually fly around in there.
Just don't get yourself stuck.
Because you gotta get out of all the predicaments in there.
You good?
You good if I go?
Okay. See how he does.
(playground chains rattle)
Okay, I don't know, he just seems antsy
with watching me around the aviary.
So, gonna see if he want's to come in.
Do you wanna go inside with me?
I know, but I'm gonna go inside.
Do you wanna come?
Mm, cute. Do you wanna come with me?
(laughs)
Just wanna make sure.
You're good out here, right?
You're good?
Okay. All right, I'm listening to you, I'm listening to you.
Look at that antsy body language.
Every time I leave. What are you doing?
Then I turn the camera on and he's like, "Nothing! Nothing!"
Okay, but when I start to go, look at this.
Look at that.
When I start to back up and leave...
He's doing his fighty thing. See?
See, now I have proof.
Every time I back, go to walk away, I start walking away,
look at that.
So I almost feel like he wants me to just sit
and watch him in the aviary. (laughs)
I offered for you to come with me.
Are you good?
Ah, now he's chilling.
Okay.
Gonna try to spy on him.
(gentle music)
