1
00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:03,320
Speaker 1: And Amanda jam Nation.

2
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:07,120
Speaker 2: We try and do our best and Jonesy and Amanda

3
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:10,000
Speaker 2: make it happen. And it seems that Craig got in

4
00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:12,280
Speaker 2: touch with us, saying hasn't seen his mum in Broken

5
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:14,920
Speaker 2: Hill for three years. He can't leave his Lori keep behind.

6
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:18,480
Speaker 2: He's had this Loria keep for nineteen years. Blaze, we said,

7
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 2: we'll look after it.

8
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 3: We can do it.

9
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:22,840
Speaker 2: What horrifies me is the weekend's coming up. The bird

10
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:24,680
Speaker 2: has been in here and has been quite happy, looks

11
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:25,760
Speaker 2: a bit agitated today.

12
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 3: It looks comfortable now it's sitting next to me.

13
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 2: But you know what you're like with animals. I don't think.

14
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:32,920
Speaker 2: I don't know if I can trust you for the weekend.

15
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 3: You can trust me and I'll tell you what to

16
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 3: make it official. Let's running past our resident Vet, Dr

17
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:42,280
Speaker 3: Chris Brown. Morning Brownie, good morning, Good morning, Oh Chris.

18
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 2: I'm feeling very stressed about the idea that Blaze is

19
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 2: going to be going to Jones's home for the weekend.

20
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 2: We know the history. Do you remember the story with

21
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 2: the fish? Remember the carp that jumped out of the

22
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 2: fish pond and dragged its own gills down the driveway.

23
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 1: I had to consult jones He had to console you

24
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 1: through the whole thing. I feel like we're setting ourselves

25
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:05,400
Speaker 1: up for disaster here. But the only look, the only

26
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:08,319
Speaker 1: thing that I find reassuring, is that the birds have

27
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 1: very very active minds. They need to be constantly entertained,

28
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 1: constantly distracted, and probably there's no better place for that

29
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 1: distraction than Jonesy's house where they can the Burken just

30
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 1: witness Jonesy in his natural environment and be confused, be entertained,

31
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,680
Speaker 1: be entralled, be captivated over the entire weekend.

32
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 2: It's interesting you say that because that describes Jonesy. He's

33
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 2: got a very small brain that needs to be constantly stimulated.

34
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 2: So birds, you can't just put a towel on them

35
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 2: and leave them alone for the weekend.

36
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:42,959
Speaker 1: I mean, even though they go the phrase is bird

37
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 1: brain right. Their brain cells are packed in thirty times

38
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 1: more densely than ours are, so their brain essentially should

39
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 1: be thirty times bigger than it actually looks. So they're

40
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 1: very like they're hyper intelligent. They're hyper aware that that's

41
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 1: why they're such great mimics, and they pick up on

42
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 1: what's happening around around the house that they're they're looking

43
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 1: for entertainment and things to occupy their mind with. And

44
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 1: so that's that's why this is an interesting experiment in

45
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:13,239
Speaker 1: a way, because this bird will be constantly analyzing Jones's

46
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 1: behavior and and and picking up on his cues, and

47
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 1: so he needs to be on his game. Jonesy, you

48
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 1: need you need to be sharp in terms of when

49
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,640
Speaker 1: you're feeding this bird and what you're feeding this bird,

50
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 1: and the entertainment the interaction you're you're giving this bird

51
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: over the weekend, because if a if a bird gets bored,

52
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 1: that's when it starts squawking or being destructive, or being

53
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 1: or being difficult.

54
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 3: Okay, as I went down to my local pedos the

55
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 3: other day.

56
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 2: It's got a tea in it.

57
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:42,920
Speaker 3: It's called pets. That's what they call their place. Have

58
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 3: you you know anyway, that's for another thing.

59
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,919
Speaker 1: It's an important clarification. Man, I'm now with you.

60
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 3: Just around the corner from my house. I went there

61
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 3: and I got some I got some lower key. Well

62
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 3: I didn't go. We send somebody down there get the

63
00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 3: LORI keet mixed, which is good. So I make that

64
00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 3: in a little pace, but I don't have to spoon

65
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 3: feed it to Blaze. But I just put it in

66
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 3: the cage and then the bird just goes and eats it.

67
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,640
Speaker 3: I've got a space in my house. I've got a

68
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 3: little like area where I can keep the birds self contained.

69
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 3: So if I just leave that cage door open.

70
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 2: You don't want it to be on its own. Chris

71
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 2: is just saying it needs to be.

72
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 3: Take You're a busy man, like a lot of stuff

73
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 3: to do on the weekend show off.

74
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 2: You're the biggest show off of all time. Now that

75
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 2: you know you've got a captive audience, you'll bring out

76
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 2: all the old eighties jokes. I feel sorry for Blaze.

77
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 2: What do you mean You'll do all your old routines,

78
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,919
Speaker 2: play old tapes from Dancing to the Stars.

79
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: I mean, take take Blaze. Take Blaze to a Sharky's game.

80
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: I mean I can see it now. There's no better

81
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 1: way to pull focus on the on the hill at

82
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 1: than Jonesy and Blade. That's a footy together.

83
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 3: That could be a thing, because you know, when you

84
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 3: see those guys walking down the street with a bird

85
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 3: on their shoulders, you always go, yeah, okay.

86
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 2: Chris has got one on his arm, unless it's Brownie Brown.

87
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 3: There you just go that's Chris Brown. He's just a slayer.

88
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 2: Are there any don'ts Is there anything Jonesy should not

89
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 2: be doing?

90
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, don't feed it seed. A lot of a lot

91
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 1: of people think, because it's a bird, you need to

92
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: feed a bird seed. Lori keets their neck to eaters.

93
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: They don't eat seeds. That's a that's a pretty quick

94
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: way to kill a lori keets. Look, I wouldn't. I

95
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 1: wouldn't leave it by itself for too long. I wouldn't

96
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 1: let it get cold. Birds don't like are quite sensitive

97
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:29,039
Speaker 1: to the cold. So if it's a cold weekend, don't

98
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:32,600
Speaker 1: let the bird get too cold. I would also try

99
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: to keep it occupied, so get some native I would

100
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 1: actually get some native plant branches because natives aren't toxic.

101
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 1: Native plants aren't toxic, and put them in the cage

102
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,839
Speaker 1: with blaze to give blade something to shred and tear apart.

103
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:51,160
Speaker 1: So it's not your your home furnishings, Jony right, And

104
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 1: obviously just keep all all doors and windows shut because

105
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 1: I don't want to be consoling and mounting a search

106
00:04:58,000 --> 00:04:59,039
Speaker 1: party on Monday.

107
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 3: Morning, helping us to a replicator, just asking for a friend,

108
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 3: Chris other loricads because I was sitting out of my

109
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,600
Speaker 3: friend and to loricates just showed up and they were

110
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 3: just sitting on the veranda, and I.

111
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 2: Thought, well, to keep one as a spare.

112
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 3: How hard? And that's what I was thinking too. And

113
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 3: the two on the verandah is better than one in

114
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 3: the cage, if I just like, you know, are they

115
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 3: hard to capture? Are you allowed to capture them? No?

116
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 1: You're not. No you're not. But also, the one thing

117
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 1: you have in your favor, and I did not give

118
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 1: you this advice, is that male and females look identical,

119
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 1: so you cannot tell them apart.

120
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:37,040
Speaker 2: So if Jones's had that trouble before.

121
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 1: It's you know, you get substitutions in the loriate world

122
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 1: are easy. But we're not. We're not going to get

123
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:43,599
Speaker 1: to that.

124
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 2: We're not getting to that. There are inside thoughts, Chris.

125
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 1: Because because Blazer is going to love the footy, Blazer

126
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: is going to pick up some new phrases from Jonesy

127
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:57,359
Speaker 1: and and and we'll you know, will come in on

128
00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,239
Speaker 1: Monday morning and this is going to be a great

129
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,480
Speaker 1: This will have been a weekend. Jonesy is going to

130
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 1: dress like like Blaze that that also helps them to

131
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 1: feel more at home if you if you wear the

132
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 1: same colors as them, Jonesy that that they pick up

133
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 1: on that they've got very good color vision, and so

134
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 1: they will. Yeah, I would recommend wearing as many colors

135
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 1: at any one time as as.

136
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:19,160
Speaker 2: Blazed down to the shop.

137
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 1: The color and a lot of rain a lot of

138
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:23,159
Speaker 1: rainbows and a lot of colors.

139
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 3: It will match my underpants.

140
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:28,119
Speaker 2: This has gone south?

141
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 1: What what do I what do I feel like? This is?

142
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 1: This is going to be played at some sort of

143
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 1: inquiry went wrong?

144
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,679
Speaker 2: Thank you very much, and we'll let you know on Monday.

145
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:42,160
Speaker 2: How we got on?

146
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 3: Are you going to come in? Did you say you're

00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 3: going to come in a should we seeing.

Speaker 3: I'm coming.

151
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,480
Speaker 1: I'm going to be good, I mean, and I expect

152
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,919
Speaker 1: to see a fully alive, fully intact rainbow lawkeet that

153
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 1: answers to the name Blaze when I come in, and.

154
00:06:55,400 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 2: Keep a spare in your briefcase just in case. Thank you, Chris,

155
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 2: Thank you Chris.

156
