I swear I think Vinny is a reincarnated wise guy. I’ve never seen a parrot anywhere that talks like he does. And if he didn’t talk so dang fast, it would all make sense to what you’re saying or doing. My Macaw says HELLO. That’s it. He communicates in multitudes of ways, but English, he knows how to say one word. Even some of the most advanced Grays don’t have the sheer vocabulary Vinnie has. I’m so curious where you got him. If he could always speak a blue streak like he does now. And how old is he? I’m sorry about your partner in the movie and your grandmother. It’s so hard to say goodbye to people we love and care about. Take care Marlene!
Awe I cried when you cried! So sorry you’ve been going through a difficult season in life. I hope we get to see you more on RUclips soon, and that things get a little easier for you and your family! ♥️
So glad to see that you're back! Vinnie is a hoot, as always, and Jersey is such a queen! Take care of the things that you need to, we will still be here. BTW, the blond hair looks fabulous!
I’m sorry you’ve gone through so much lately. It’s especially hard when you don’t have past experiences of hardship to draw from. For me, it’s always been a two step forward, one step back deal. The secret is to keep getting back up. Too many good times ahead of you!!So happy to see you again. 🤗
Man do I understand losing many loved ones all at once. My heart goes out to you. I hope things become easier each and every day. I like the blonde for the summer on you, you look beautiful as always. Sending you love light and positivity
Marlene, I'm so sorry you have had such a difficult time recently with losing your grandmother and your friend. That alone is enough stress to make you need to take a hiatus, not to mention all the work you do with your business, RUclips channel and all your other projects! Welcome back and Happy Parrot Day!
I'd say yay, you're back! except for that I follow you on insta so you haven't really disappeared for me lol. I just appreciate that you've posted this video because I miss your youtube content. And anybody who has had any hand in planning a wedding knows that wedding planning is a *ton* of work, even if you aren't getting married yourself. I'm so sorry to hear not only has your grandma passed but your friend as well. But you're doing great, we all love you and are so proud of you
Your mental health is most important. I am so sorry to hear about all of the things you've been going through. Try to stay strong, we'll always be here.
I love how Vinny was chearing you on when you were talking about all you had to do amd how Jershy is alway the 1st one to take care of you when you're crying.
Don't know how you do it! I had two parrots and it was so difficult to keep up. I have a Hahns Mini Macaw now. Unfortunately I lost my Congo African Grey a couple of years ago. He had a cage in my office for years before I retired and it was so great to have him around me all day. My macaw was a rescue when she was 9 and after I retired, so she has had me every day of her life since I fostered and then adopted her and she's 27 now. I, like you, tell every one thinking about getting a bird how much work it is and remind them of how much of your time is required. Wish more people would go to sites like yours and see what its really like. Love your openness. Keep it up, people like you are really needed.
Thank you so much for sharing. I'm sorry for the loss of your grey. It's lovely that you rescue😍 birds are definitly a lot of work but I guess for me, spice i started with birds so young, I'm used to accommodating to them. I love that you have had your macaw for so long. What a lucky bird!
It’s great to see you and the rest of the birds! Congratulations to your sister. I missed you and the family. I understand burnout. I’m so very sorry for the loss you have endured. 🤗. Glad you are back.
Ahh, there she is!! I rarely check out Instagram but just this morning I was thinking that I should go over there and see if you were okay. I missed you and your birdies! I got giddy seeing you pop up! So good to see you and your feathered babies again. A word of wisdom from a recovered control freak (who still slips now and then), let others share the load. Trust them to help you. Life is not meant to be a hard one, where you do everything yourself. We're meant to help each other. I got gently told a few years ago after I said I prefer to do it all myself to, "Let. people. love. you!" Meaning, it's an act of love on both parts, for the giver and the receiver, when a service is given and then accepted graciously. Truly, your world won't collapse if you don't micromanage it. Let other people edit, or whatever. (Lots of youtubers have editors. No shame in that!) Allowing others to help me was such a hard thing for me to learn, but oh so rewarding and relieved a lot of my stress. Something for you to consider. And is said with so much love and appreciation for all you do. Btw, keyboard critics get their jollies being mean and seeing reactions. Bullies hiding behind a keyboard. Their opinions are not relevant. Block. Bye bye. You have no power here! Congrats, Jenna! How wonderful. Will we get to meet your S.O.? You will definitely be a gorgeous bride!
So, sorry, for the loss of your grandmother and your friend. Nice to see you back again, even if it is, for a bit. Take care of yourself. The birds need you.
I'm so glad to see you again! I can't get over how big Brando has gotten! She is such a cutie! I'm so sorry that people are being harsh about you being gone, life happens. That being said, I am so glad that you are back and I am so excited to see you and the birds again! And congratulations on your sister's wedding! That is so incredibly exciting!
Take your time and feel what you want to feel, don't push it away. Time takes the raw wounds away. I lost my grandmother and friend in one month, and it sucks. Took a while, rest well. We will be here waiting :)
I'm so sorry you've been going through a difficult stretch in life Marlene. especially, with the loss of a family member and a dear friend. You stay strong my friend. You're in my prayers.And,it was nice to see you and your cool birds.👍🌻🙏
It’s nice to see you back for a bit-you’ve gone through a lot the last few months so if you’re feeling overwhelmed or burnt out it’s okay to take a step back for a bit. I still watch your videos on Instagram or Facebook whenever you do post. Congratulations to your sister on getting married-that’s so exciting! Give your birds all the head scratches for me. ❤️
I'm so sorry for your loses, Marlene. 💔 but omg. Seeing Jersey for the first time in a while. She looks good! Such cute fluff coming in! Looks like she's been hanging in there while her mommy's been stressed and that's a great thing. ♡
Oh hi sweet girl. God have we missed you. Sorry to hear your terrible losses.hopefully things will only get better. Can't wait to see more of you and George. And of course all your adorable bird family. Lots of love from the 🇬🇧 UK. X
I'm sorry for your loses,so glad to have you back.tell Jenna I said congrats, and as always the FAMAS Vinny always cracks me up,god bless you and your family ❣️🤩❣️
Yes, I missed your YT videos. I was concerned that you were sick (my imagination, please understand) and unable to post so I am glad to see you back. I selfishly enjoy and benefit from your many fun and serious info videos and I try not to take you and all your hard work posting (the editing, the content, the meet and greet events, rescue stories in real time, etc!) for granted. And your business. And your filming. And family events. You have tons more energy than I could ever hope to have! (I am an introvert who gets tired of people easily--yeah love my bird and my cats-who totally fear my umbrella cockatoo. She is the queen!) Life and death happens and sometimes it is definitely more than a 24-hour-a-day experience so thankyou for your video today and my prayers for you and your family. Oh, my, Genna getting married! 😊
At 2:30, Marlene's saying how great her visit with her mom and dad was and Vinny is insisting they faught the whole time and he mediated the whole fight. 😂🤣😂🤣
Hi Marlene... Hope you're doing good 😊 Sorry for the loses which you've faced in these sick times ..... Everything will be alright.... It really felt sad when you cried in the video .... Everything will alright ☺️ Lots of love ❣️
Missed you and your feathered friends so much. The stories, my cutie pie Vinny and your side kick George. Totally understand burn out though, so there is a word called delegate...but for health and happiness, you will find a way to stop (where it's needed) to protect yourself . So sorry for your losses.
Don't worry Marlene we are very thankful for everything you do and have done for us bird lovers and take your time with posting we love and support you so don't over work yourself and making your birds and family your first priority is the best thing 💜 Also thank you so much for everything you've done from the bottom of my heart because of you I learned how to properly take care of my birds and learn how to love them
So lovely to see you back and so sorry for the losses you’ve had recently sending condolences to you and you’re family and looking forward to any future episodes you’ve got lined up 🥰👌👏
Chainsaw, my galah, is the same - if he's not getting to do what he wants, when he wants then it's a tanty toss. Shows you how important it is to be aware of them all the time. That said, I love the little pink fluffball to bits and wouldn't part with him for anything. Nice to see you but you have to take time for you and yours - the rest of us will happily see you when you have time. Waves from Australia and the galahs in my trees.
Have missed u but it’s good to see you again and the birdies!!! I know what it’s like going thru things, I just lost my 14 yr old westie, it’s really hard. Sorry about your gma, but happy to hear of your upcoming family wedding.
I really legitimately was worried about you as in the times we live in now you never know when some insidious thing could have happened to you .. so I am glad you are still alive and hope to see more content in the future
Oh my God! I must have walked away! I just heard Genna is getting married!! I’m jumping up and down! Tell Genna congratulations. I’m so excited!!! Videos with Genna and planning please, and Genna!!💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
I'm glad you're back Marlene, I was honestly like (I wonder what Marlene is up to ) and then I saw you post this video, I hope you're ok and btw I missed those Vinny subtitles, Jersey will always be the cute bird she is, I missed you and the birds soo much Marlene. Continue being the strong Queen you are. 🥰🔥❤❤❤ 💯 Tell Jenna I said congrats on the wedding. 😍🥰🥳
Hi Marlene! So happy to see a video from you, was getting worried! Sorry to hear things have been difficult (as life sometimes does) but glad to hear there were joyful moments as well. Congrats to your sister! Not to put any pressure on you but still waiting for a feathered fun box for big macaws box! I miss getting the box each month but she needs larger toys! Anyways, it really was so good to see you and some of the birds.
im so sorry to hear about what u are going through i think that u are such a beautiful bird loving woman ur videos mean the world to me love u marlene may god bless u always
Sorry life has been hectic and you've experienced loss of loved ones. Your videos bring me so much joy, and your birds have lifted my spirits in some truly dark times. I look forward to catching up with all your antics and your hilarious parents when you're in a position to do so. Please tell Leo he has beautiful eyes and Brando he mustn't be so jealous 😉😅🤣
Great to see you and the birds back! Love the blonde hair. RUclips is a HUGE job. It is easy to feel like you are letting people down when life gets in the way. You need time for yourself and your family… and Jersey! Lol
Lovely to see you back… please don’t burn out, and I’m so sorry to hear of the death of two people you cared for, it seems still very raw. I’m glad Jersey helped🤗 🤗🤗🤗…………… I took my bird to my hometown and I bumped into another one of your fans here in the UK, mentioning your name felt like a real connection stranger
Marlene!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏼So sorry that you lost your grandmother and friend. 🙏🏼Welcome back!🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦I’ll be watching for your film info! I figured the food and feathered fun boxes and rescues and life was keeping you very busy.💚Aw. Shout out, Picasso. ( My nephews and I still talk about Picasso and how we think he is happy out there and Carrie’s you with him.) ok, you’re back, and I’m thrilled! Brando got even louder!😂 I missed storytime Sundays. Love your blond and miss your brown, but you’re our lovely, amazing Marlene no matter what color you turn your feathers, girl!🌈
It is soooo good to see a video by you. I have missed you!!! I’m so sorry about your losses. Why is it sometimes I almost forget Vinnie is a bird? His comments are almost always on point.
We all can understood that sometimes you need a true reality break! But thank goodness you are all back to keep my reality more positive! I can never have enough smiles for you, your family and friends……and birds!
@@MARLENEMCCOHEN Sometimes they're so human it's scary. They are definitely little people with clear likes and dislikes. You and Tico (the parrot who sings with guitar) are like rock stars for Lollie. She is an adoring fan.
So sorry for your losses. The blonde hair tells you you feel out of control, and did something you COULD control. I have a daughter who does the same thing. I hope you feel better soon. I love Vinny (although the face attack was rude, and you can tell him I said so.) I also have several shops online and burnout is frequent. Give yourself a couple of "Me Days" every so often. Love to the birds and to you & your family.
I'm so sorry for your lost , And I'm happy to see Vinny ,what a parrot he is and to hear Brando's voice in the back ground.I watch a streamer on twitch name Alex Botez a chess player. She wants a parrot really bad. She lives and works with her sister Andrea .Andrea is really scared of parrots.I think it would make a great video of u invited them over to show your beautiful birds and how they are so much fun and clam parrots can be.They live in L.A.
Glade to see you back !!!! and sorry for your losses !!! lost my Mom in the middle of the Covid pandemic and could not even have a funeral for her !! but so Happy to see you and Vinnie back !!! your friend from Michigan !!!!
I just thought of you today and wondering what you might be up to! So sorry to hear about your losses, sending lots of love and hugs from Germany! Glad to see you back on youtube! ♥️
I am soo Sorry that you have been going through a lot of stress and painful events. It’s ok to take time for yourself and decompress, we will still be here. 🦜 ❤️🐦
You are absolutely amazing. Your videos are so wonderful. There is absolutely no problem with taking time out for yourself. Always remember to just breathe everything is okay. 🖤
Thank you Marlene, Vinnie, Jersey and the rest of your birds. It's so nice to see you here! Vinnie is so funny!!! Love, big hugs, birdie spirit kisses :)))
Vinny. "We let's talk about me!" Lol.😂 "Save it, for Facebook." By the way. I'm glad your back. Still wondering about the missing birds..Anything ever happen more with that? I've been so worried about them. By the way I love your hair and makeup.
Omg my dad doesthe same thing comes down my house and picks stuff that needs to be done , starts moving and cleaning stuff then i have to do it then and there as dont want him working when he comes here etc etc love him to bits but i get you , i think most parents do this. You have to have a break sometimes and have you time . In times like that i find my animals help me through it xx
I'm so sorry you've had to deal with so much lately. You 100% should take as much time as you need. I like small birds for myself, but I absolutely adore Jersey, she's such a queen and so funny 🥰
Cockatoos are my favorite bird but you have to play rough with them and teach then the balance of playing hard vs self-control. They're crazy, smart & self control does come just takes time. They have so much energy. I love them.
Apparently Vinny accumulated quite a few things he wanted to get off his chest. I wonder if being what amounts to a control freak even if just over the creative aspects of three different logistically challenging businesses (FFB, YT, Patreon), on top of daily care for many birds and the occasional outside project is creating a high base level for burnout.
Yes to be honest that's exactly what it is. Many platforms come to youtubers with big ideas to make our job easier to connect, connect, connect but then ask that happens is, we can't connect in real life and can't keep up with connecting and communicating on all the new things... so I always feel lacking somewhere out like I forgot someone.
@@MARLENEMCCOHEN Could you tolerate the idea of someone basically running the Feathered Fun Box business, acting as the CEO w/ you as what amounts to Chief Creative Officer and hands-off chairperson while they make the actual scheduling decisions, deal with suppliers and make sure orders are getting fulfilled? Or is that too scary or economically tough?
Oh No Marlene LOL did Vinnie try to bite you? Marlene you can grow your brown hair back. Don't worry. I did the same thing a few years back. You look very pretty in blond hair too. Brown hair is easier to take care of though. I love you!!! Love, big hugs, birdie spirit kisses, :)))
I swear I think Vinny is a reincarnated wise guy. I’ve never seen a parrot anywhere that talks like he does. And if he didn’t talk so dang fast, it would all make sense to what you’re saying or doing. My Macaw says HELLO. That’s it. He communicates in multitudes of ways, but English, he knows how to say one word. Even some of the most advanced Grays don’t have the sheer vocabulary Vinnie has. I’m so curious where you got him. If he could always speak a blue streak like he does now. And how old is he?
I’m sorry about your partner in the movie and your grandmother. It’s so hard to say goodbye to people we love and care about. Take care Marlene!
Oh my Brando has gotten so big I still remember when you first got her she's so sweet 🥺
I know right!!! She just had the craziest molt
Awe I cried when you cried! So sorry you’ve been going through a difficult season in life. I hope we get to see you more on RUclips soon, and that things get a little easier for you and your family! ♥️
Thank you so much, that part has not been easy, but there have been fun times too.
So glad to see that you're back! Vinnie is a hoot, as always, and Jersey is such a queen! Take care of the things that you need to, we will still be here. BTW, the blond hair looks fabulous!
Than you so much!! I agree jersey is such a queen!
I’m sorry you’ve gone through so much lately. It’s especially hard when you don’t have past experiences of hardship to draw from. For me, it’s always been a two step forward, one step back deal. The secret is to keep getting back up. Too many good times ahead of you!!So happy to see you again. 🤗
Thank you so much for understanding
Man do I understand losing many loved ones all at once. My heart goes out to you. I hope things become easier each and every day. I like the blonde for the summer on you, you look beautiful as always. Sending you love light and positivity

2:19 "She needs me to be here because I read the A$$h0l3s. SURPRISED??"
🤣🤣
Vinny has such a character.
I love how Vinny was chearing you on when you were talking about all you had to do amd how Jershy is alway the 1st one to take care of you when you're crying.
Don't know how you do it! I had two parrots and it was so difficult to keep up. I have a Hahns Mini Macaw now. Unfortunately I lost my Congo African Grey a couple of years ago.

I love the angry dive Bomb from Vinny. He is quite the gangster. And your reaction was perfect just laugh about it. Cockatoos are insane goofballs
It’s great to see you and the rest of the birds! Congratulations to your sister. I missed you and the family. I understand burnout. I’m so very sorry for the loss you have endured. 🤗. Glad you are back.
Ahh, there she is!! I rarely check out Instagram but just this morning I was thinking that I should go over there and see if you were okay. I missed you and your birdies! I got giddy seeing you pop up! So good to see you and your feathered babies again.

10:36 Vinny in the background calling you out “hey big shot. You see me?! I said hands off!”😂😂😂
Take your time and feel what you want to feel, don't push it away.
Time takes the raw wounds away.
I lost my grandmother and friend in one month, and it sucks. Took a while, rest well.
We will be here waiting :)
Congrats to the sis on the wedding!!!! 💞 U BirdQueen Marlene looking super-duper Fabulous!! Missed U- Glad Ur back!🥰

Yes, I missed your YT videos. I was concerned that you were sick (my imagination, please understand) and unable to post so I am glad to see you back. I selfishly enjoy and benefit from your many fun and serious info videos and I try not to take you and all your hard work posting (the editing, the content, the meet and greet events, rescue stories in real time, etc!) for granted.

Marlene: "So my parents came to visit.."
Vinny,right after: "Such fights!" 😁
I really legitimately was worried about you as in the times we live in now you never know when some insidious thing could have happened to you .. so I am glad you are still alive and hope to see more content in the future
Oh my God! I must have walked away! I just heard Genna is getting married!! I’m jumping up and down! Tell Genna congratulations. I’m so excited!!! Videos with Genna and planning please, and Genna!!💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

Continue being the strong Queen you are. 🥰🔥❤❤❤ 💯
Tell Jenna I said congrats on the wedding. 😍🥰🥳

I love the bird's quotes:
It's good to be in the council.
Some sick video.
There is a lot of content.
She made me fly in circles.
So sorry for your loss of your grandma and sorry for the loss of your friend
Sorry life has been hectic and you've experienced loss of loved ones. Your videos bring me so much joy, and your birds have lifted my spirits in some truly dark times.
I look forward to catching up with all your antics and your hilarious parents when you're in a position to do so.
Please tell Leo he has beautiful eyes and Brando he mustn't be so jealous 😉😅🤣
Great to see you and the birds back! Love the blonde hair. RUclips is a HUGE job. It is easy to feel like you are letting people down when life gets in the way. You need time for yourself and your family… and Jersey! Lol
IM SO SO HAPPY TO SEE U BACK
I missed you, and absolutely understand you need time for you, and your birds. I am so happy for your sister. She will be a beautiful bride!
Hi Marlene love your blonde hair looks absolutely great
Lovely to see you back… please don’t burn out, and I’m so sorry to hear of the death of two people you cared for, it seems still very raw. I’m glad Jersey helped🤗 🤗🤗🤗…………… I took my bird to my hometown and I bumped into another one of your fans here in the UK, mentioning your name felt like a real connection stranger
Marlene!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏼So sorry that you lost your grandmother and friend. 🙏🏼Welcome back!🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦I’ll be watching for your film info! I figured the food and feathered fun boxes and rescues and life was keeping you very busy.💚Aw. Shout out, Picasso. ( My nephews and I still talk about Picasso and how we think he is happy out there and Carrie’s you with him.) ok, you’re back, and I’m thrilled! Brando got even louder!😂 I missed storytime Sundays. Love your blond and miss your brown, but you’re our lovely, amazing Marlene no matter what color you turn your feathers, girl!🌈
im sorry for your loss 🥺 its great to see you on youtube again!! omg vinny got so mad 😂 ❤️ u
It is soooo good to see a video by you. I have missed you!!! I’m so sorry about your losses. Why is it sometimes I almost forget Vinnie is a bird? His comments are almost always on point.
We missed you and the birds so much. It's good to see y'alls beautiful faces!
love to see you Marlene, no matter if it’s frequent or infrequent. true fans will always tune in
You are right, I appreciate that so much
We all can understood that sometimes you need a true reality break! But thank goodness you are all back to keep my reality more positive! I can never have enough smiles for you, your family and friends……and birds!
Good to see you marlene. You guys look great.
Our parrot Lollie recognized your intro even as long as it's been since she saw a new video from you. She never forgets! Good to see you back.
Wow!!! That's incredible!! It's like how jersey never forgets her favorite song! Birds are amazing
Had to add the intro for Lollie❤️
@@MARLENEMCCOHEN Sometimes they're so human it's scary. They are definitely little people with clear likes and dislikes. You and Tico (the parrot who sings with guitar) are like rock stars for Lollie. She is an adoring fan.
So sorry for your losses. The blonde hair tells you you feel out of control, and did something you COULD control. I have a daughter who does the same thing. I hope you feel better soon. I love Vinny (although the face attack was rude, and you can tell him I said so.) I also have several shops online and burnout is frequent. Give yourself a couple of "Me Days" every so often. Love to the birds and to you & your family.
Marlene, congrats on your continued success! Amazing! Also Mazel Tov to your Sister! Miss ya, nanc 🍒🍒
I was so excited to see your new video! Hope to see more of you in the near future. Sorry that you have been going through some tough times.
I'm so sorry for your lost , And I'm happy to see Vinny ,what a parrot he is and to hear Brando's voice in the back ground.I watch a streamer on twitch name Alex Botez a chess player. She wants a parrot really bad. She lives and works with her sister Andrea .Andrea is really scared of parrots.I think it would make a great video of u invited them over to show your beautiful birds and how they are so much fun and clam parrots can be.They live in L.A.
Vinny is a Galah cockatoo
Or a rose breasted cockatoo in the US
Glade to see you back !!!! and sorry for your losses !!! lost my Mom in the middle of the Covid pandemic and could not even have a funeral for her !! but so Happy to see you and Vinnie back !!! your friend from Michigan !!!!
Sending love to Michigan, I am sorry to hear about the loss of your mom
Marlene, It's so great to see you, I really missed you and your feather babies!!! 😭✨❤️
Awe!! Thank you!! We are here, got some fun things coming up!!
I like your blonde hair. 🙂 It looks good on you. Also, I’m so happy that you’re back. Thank you for this video!
I just thought of you today and wondering what you might be up to! So sorry to hear about your losses, sending lots of love and hugs from Germany! Glad to see you back on youtube! ♥️
So weird that you posted. I was literally just think about your videos the other day! Glad that you are back ❤️
I am soo Sorry that you have been going through a lot of stress and painful events. It’s ok to take time for yourself and decompress, we will still be here. 🦜 ❤️🐦
Great to see you back.
My goodness your plate has been overflowing. Miss seeing you, the family and all the birds on YT. Sending a hug and lots of love beaming your way. ❤️
You are absolutely amazing. Your videos are so wonderful. There is absolutely no problem with taking time out for yourself. Always remember to just breathe everything is okay. 🖤
Sorry about your losses. Take all the time you need.
Thank you Marlene, Vinnie, Jersey and the rest of your birds. It's so nice to see you here! Vinnie is so funny!!! Love, big hugs, birdie spirit kisses :)))
Vinny. "We let's talk about me!" Lol.😂
"Save it, for Facebook."
By the way. I'm glad your back. Still wondering about the missing birds..Anything ever happen more with that? I've been so worried about them.
By the way I love your hair and makeup.
Omg my dad doesthe same thing comes down my house and picks stuff that needs to be done , starts moving and cleaning stuff then i have to do it then and there as dont want him working when he comes here etc etc love him to bits but i get you , i think most parents do this. You have to have a break sometimes and have you time . In times like that i find my animals help me through it xx
I'm so sorry you've had to deal with so much lately. You 100% should take as much time as you need. I like small birds for myself, but I absolutely adore Jersey, she's such a queen and so funny 🥰
Cockatoos are my favorite bird but you have to play rough with them and teach then the balance of playing hard vs self-control.
They're crazy, smart & self control does come just takes time. They have so much energy. I love them.
it is sooooooo good to see you again! vinny is such a blabber mouth... lol again, good to see you
Welcome back best to you
So glad you're back. Question about your bird food. Can a cockatiel eat it. Or what would you recommend?
Apparently Vinny accumulated quite a few things he wanted to get off his chest. I wonder if being what amounts to a control freak even if just over the creative aspects of three different logistically challenging businesses (FFB, YT, Patreon), on top of daily care for many birds and the occasional outside project is creating a high base level for burnout.
Yes to be honest that's exactly what it is. Many platforms come to youtubers with big ideas to make our job easier to connect, connect, connect but then ask that happens is, we can't connect in real life and can't keep up with connecting and communicating on all the new things... so I always feel lacking somewhere out like I forgot someone.
@@MARLENEMCCOHEN Could you tolerate the idea of someone basically running the Feathered Fun Box business, acting as the CEO w/ you as what amounts to Chief Creative Officer and hands-off chairperson while they make the actual scheduling decisions, deal with suppliers and make sure orders are getting fulfilled? Or is that too scary or economically tough?
Oh No Marlene LOL did Vinnie try to bite you? Marlene you can grow your brown hair back. Don't worry. I did the same thing a few years back. You look very pretty in blond hair too. Brown hair is easier to take care of though. I love you!!! Love, big hugs, birdie spirit kisses, :)))
I have missed you all so much. But a break is needed sometimes.
I love you Marlene you’ve taught me so much about being a great bird owner for the last 6yrs
That just makes me smile so much
@@MARLENEMCCOHEN oh yes
Missed you , good to see you!
I'm sorry for your loss!
So happy to see you back!
Thank you so much, so happy to be posting
aww im sorry for you. hope you get better soon!
