being hand-fed.

So we'll just go with that for now.
Alice is in love.
Well, Alice, I think, is a big love heart.
A beautiful color.
Oh, the birds, they are.
They are beautiful.
They're blue and green.
Really pretty.
The precious is here, apparently.
Somewhere.
There she is.
Yes, they are cute.
Anywho, while I'm talking about precious,
We're getting some goldfish from the farm that she's been working with,
which are super fancy fantails.
Do you know where your biggest snail is?
My biggest snail? I have no idea.
I'll find it. It's probably in the big black water tank.
I think the biggest one is in there.
She wants to know. We are now demonetized, I guess.
Oh, well. So what are you going to do?
Sunday is fun day.
Who said that?
That's true.
Do it at the same time, 2 o'clock.
Yeah, I could do that.
I might as well.
That's kind of, I'm kind of locked in, I guess, at 2 o'clock.
2 o'clock Wednesday, 2 o'clock Sunday, 2 o'clock Friday.
Why not?
We don't get the evening crowd,
but that's kind of a rowdy bunch anyway,
as I can tell.
so we'll do two o'clock for the tea set right

oh god
I trust you've been
entertaining yourselves
we need to

then
Alice
Cody
Harry
scenic pets
and aquariums
turn the phone down
Yeah, yeah, I get that.
It won't go down all the way.
On the phone.
It won't go down all the way.
It won't go down all
the way.
Who's calling?
Who's calling?

Thank you.
I think Mark's calling.
Oh, what's going

Brilliant timing, Caleb says.
Yeah, no, it's nothing bad.
I think I've got it a little under control.
Bitch to collect.
Yes, we collect a lot of...
I know where we are.
Punchy Pants is looking for fairy cards.
And she comes to the right place.
Because I am the only distributor on the North American continent.
Now, there are plenty of them in Europe, mind you.
Europe is full of them but they're very few here
in the states and i have got one unfortunately
i just sold out and i won't be able to get more
in until the next new moon so i'm sorry Punchy
the last new moon was last night
so it's going to be a full cycle 28 days or so before i'm able to
get any more of these magnificent fairy farts
and I'm afraid that when they come in the price
is going to go up so we'll more about that later
but for now uh your orders are on hold
speaking of it I've got a few things left to look
at try to get a little more it's coming but slow
Well, that'll do.
Most people don't know the difference, Carrie.
I mean, how many people know the difference?
Really?
You could relabel them and nobody would ever be the wiser.
Now, I'm not suggesting you do that because I know you're
a man of honor and integrity.
You want to be absolutely honest in your dealing.
But Pixie and Carrie, really.
I mean, how, how, how particular
kind of customer it would
be to want to distinguish
between the two.
So I think I would just go for it.
Punchy, I got you locked in.
Got your oil.
Your oil.
Carrie's been working.
Carrie had a rough week.
I had a rough week.
We all had a rough week.
Carrie says, hi, Alice.
Hi, guys.
uh-huh honey denda Mr. Zen Young
master young fish master you
say we haven't met a little
i talked to you in the last thread
appreciate you being here Ginger
and nature
a couple of crepe.
Gnot-punching paint.
And going down.
Working your way to the bottom.
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do.
Do-do-carry.
Gnarly fish tank.
Need to mute desk and share.
But if I do that,
I think I get a delay.
I mean, I've got to do that every week.
Do-do-do.
That young lady knows a good snail.
Oh, she's something else.
She comes in here every week,
And she always wants something absolutely impossible.
And her father has to convince her that it's not what she wants.
And she doesn't always buy that.
So we have Marissa still eats her plants.
Yes, it is.
It's absolutely true.
It's a matter of time.
All right.
Someone's brought a friend in.
Thank you, Jen, for pointing to the Patreon.
and the Facebook
Aquafunk
I don't know
I was having the same problem
earlier. By the way
Aquafunk, we are very
excited about your coming
to Venice in two
weeks. We will have
the red carpet out. It's going to be
a good time. We'll be had by
all. If you
get hold of Willie so that
you're able to come down with him
that'd be great if you could be there.
And here he says, I'm a tree pixie, so I'm going to be there.
Well, see, there you go.
You know, if you're in the clan, sure you know the difference.
That's all right.
Go up against them.
I mean, really.
You know, pixies got as much right as fairies.
And you probably had sweeter parties, would be my guess.
So give it the old gung-ho.
Why are we streaming in the dark?
I don't know why that happened.
It was black on my phone.
Am I in the news?
No, I'm not.
There's Andy.
Andy just walked in.
Made me black. Is it really black now?
I'm not seeing it.
Did you get any lunch yet?
I knew what happened.
Yeah, I did.
Son of a gun. I keep acting like
I've got good sense.
And I
clearly
don't.
I think I dropped offline.
Well, I don't know
if I'll figure it out or not.
Stop my cam.
It doesn't want to come on.
Let me go back.
Boy, what's happening?
Well, there's the phone.
There's Andy having lunch.
And here's me being totally befuddled.
Oh, well, what time is it?
I don't know.
I can't get the thing to open.
There it is.
There it is.
I was at the bottom of the phone.
Tell you what, let's get rid of the phone.
That's the easiest way
How do I do that
Can't read
these
things
Okay
Alright I could do that again
Well it's two weeks in a row
Totally thought I was online
And broadcasting
How are you guys
I've been a whole lot better
Susan
Hi Susan
Thank you
Good to be back
I was lost
Once I was lost
But now I'm found
was blind but now i see you want to see
the babies alice wants to see the babies again
let's do the babies you know what i can
get both of them i think there they are
yes it is yes it
is it's a male uh
he's uh 14 yeah 750
yeah it's a really
sweet bird
Can you hold him?
He is clipped.
You can hold him, but he probably will not come to you.
He's shy.
Once he gets used to you, it's fine.
He'll cuddle.
But open the cage and see.
Just be very, very gentle and slow.
It's unlikely he'll come out, but he might.
We could get him again.
See, you were right, Aquapunk.
I wouldn't you.
Alice wants them.
They are pretty.
I could probably ship them.
Red fish, blue fish.
Oh, dear.
You're the one that started this.
You know, this is your fault.
He, Mr. Scientist here, made some crack
a couple of weeks ago about fairy farts.
And that's what kicked it all off.
So now he's making excuses.
saying, oh, I will have you know that fairy farts
are a trademarked and aggressively protected property
of Red Paw. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
I knew it. I knew it. I knew it. Listen,
for all the trouble it's caused, you can have them back.
Oh, dear.
The bird, she's
not holding
the bird.
Is he, what's he doing? He's like, oh, his name.
oh god i've said it three times today did you guys
just get a minute i've had him for six months
uh you want some credit
on that car yeah i gotta i gotta get some more of that uh
oh all right you don't know how
to do that um yeah i'll whip you up a bucket of it
give me until give me about 10 minutes i'll be off this in 10 minutes
Do we have an abort meeting?
We are.
Where?
At Chris's.
Oh, at Chris's?
Yeah.
Sean will be here at some point.
He's 15, he said?
Yeah.
What is his name?
Here.
I'm going to tell you his name.
My phone overheated because I covered it with a pillow.
I probably burned it out.
All right.
I'm going to call Val here to find out what
this bird's name is because I can't remember.
Really? You're popping everything, huh?
Bye-bye.
You said how much is it?
$750. Tax will be $50.
$700. $800.
Justin, you're mad as I am.
Literally watch this all day.
I live it all day.
You're watching it.
Jeez.
I just streamed that again.
Now I want to budge it.
Such a dangerous place.
Really.
These are not budging.
These are parrotlets.
And she's not there.
She's on her way over there.
I will know in a few minutes what the bird's name is,
because its keeper is coming.
Peek-a-boo, I see you.
I see you.
She's interested in me.
I'm just going to talk up a storm.
Really?
You're going to flirt, huh?
You want to go on a hike?
Red fish, blue fish, always fun at father fish.
Slip of the thumb, Aquafunk says.
Aquafunk says, I meant to say I love canaries.
I don't know what he said he loved, do you have that he retracted it?
No, I'm sorry I don't. They came from they
were with two people from from the time it was little
one was an elderly woman who was a bird lady, had birds all
her life. She died and one of her friends
who was a bird man who had had birds all his life
took it in. He kept it for about five years.
She had it for six, seven years. And he got
to the point where he couldn't handle. He had like a dozen birds.
So he had to cut down. So he brought me a group and I held this one
back because it was the best of the bunch. And it's now the
last one of that group. I know it is.
So it's probably not been to a vet
Because it's been cared for very carefully
And hasn't had any issues
I don't know,
I didn't see that
No, can't do that
The best I could do would be 7
plus tax
Yeah, I could do that
let me look around yep uh don't
shoot me down on my bird hi
hey what's up uh plants for
fresh water yeah i've got
a few sure i'll tell you what i'm gonna be offline here
in about five minutes can you hold it hang
on okay that'd be great thank you
Because if I have to run back there again, I may as well give it up.
Where are we?
Where are we?
I have a place.
I'm going to screw my business.
You're
feeding ham
to a red tail?
Don't do that.
That puts fat in the system that the red tail cannot digest.
It can digest chicken fat,
but it can't cook aqua fun sand.
I'm not running the flea market.
Oh, yeah?
Feels like it.
Just, geez.
Anyway, anything that has animal fat in it
is problematic because the fish cannot digest it.
They poop it out, and it fouls the water.
It becomes a skim on the surface,
which prevents oxygen from being exchanged with CO2.
So don't feed any meat from mammals.
birds fish reptiles are all fine just
not um not hamsters and guinea pigs or dogs and cats
or cows or pigs none of that works they'll eat
it they like it but it'll mess the tank up
how come i misspelled this thing i don't even want
to know talked about substrate who's this
Hillbilly Nomad, my God, we have a question.
Do you think you could talk about using leaves
and branches from oaks for the tannin?
Sure, what would you like me to say?
I think it's a great idea.
The most successful Aponogeton I ever had in my life
was one that completely filled a 40-gallon breeder.
This was many, many, many, many, many, many years ago.
and i loaded the tank with oak leaves
and the plant absolutely went berserk over the oak leaves
yeah can't beat it tannin water brown water nothing wrong
with it it's perfect Aquafun
saying stay strong i'm trying i appreciate it
to the side for us to love Father Fish kicks customers to
this up. I did, didn't I? Do you know lineated
parakeet lettuce? No, I don't. I'll look it up.
Alice says. And we did the leaves thing.
Okay, so now I'm kind of caught up. And Aquafun's giving
it up. Can't blame them. Should they be
falling type leaves? Well, I'll tell you what, Karen.
I wouldn't pick them off the tree. Don't pick them off
the tree. Don't do that.
They gotta be
dead and brown.
He's coming home with us.
So I'm ready.
You got room for the
cage? Yeah. Okay.
Alright, we just sold
the bird. And I still
can't think of its name.
Valerie's gonna be here
and she will probably cry.
The woman
that takes care of the animals.
She'll be here in a little bit.
actually she might not get here until four she'll probably
be gone time she gets here
um what is that bird's name she says it every
time she comes in chet not chester that's close
it's like chester no
he's gone oh what else
pardon you got the hatch date
or anything uh-oh no i got no information from him have i heard
of the mudfishes, Chewy
says. I saw a video
of them recently
where they were out collecting them.
Apparently they're a protected
species in New
Zealand. No, I'm on a
live chat here.
I'm streaming
actually. What are you hand-feeding over there?
Oh, come look.
A couple of parrotlets.
Baby parrotlets.
I love your little Avery out there.
They will
fly away.
Jesus.
The mudfishes look really
interesting. I don't know if it's
something we can get, but I'd sure
like to try. I like it.
Okay.
Alice wants to see the bird.
How do I do this? To do this,
I have to go back on.
Let me shut this.
How much are the babies?
They're 150. They're hand-tamed.
They're doing really well.
okay Alice here's the deal
I'm going to show you the bird
and that will be our sign off
because I have to turn my monitor
around and do other
crazy stuff because I don't want to
go back on the phone again
it's still overheated
it's hot
from the last time I should just turn it
off I guess
give it a chance to pull off
connect charger
this is a big old
Yeah, that's Tom.
Tom is 14.
All right, let's show him the bird.
I've got about 40 people there.
Let me pull it out.
Yeah, he stepped up a little bit, but let's get back.
He'll be fine.
I mean, he just is bonded with the woman that takes care of him,
so we know he's a sweet bird.
This is a bare-eyed cockatoo.
He's being freaky.
And he just got a new home.
You're going into a bigger cave now, bud.
This will be your outside real cave.
Really?
Do you have a carrier to put him in?
I probably do.
He'll just sleep in my back seat, I think.
He doesn't want
to sleep in it.
would you take less just
for the bird without the cage well
i'm giving you the cage i really need
to get 750 you know it came off the tax which i paid
so i'm down to seven you know i'm losing
the cage and the deal
so i can't think of it how do we get
in here let me get this out of the way
yeah all right enough
of this madness i'm
gonna go away now caleb
is live now i'm
going bye guys
thank you so much talk to you again i'll see you wednesday
at two bye bye for now
she won't
be here until
