0:01:13 > 0:01:15Let's go find them.

0:01:59 > 0:02:01That one's Marigold.
0:02:01 > 0:02:02That one's Peter.
0:02:04 > 0:02:08- Shall we let them out?- I would love to. Will they come and say hello?
0:02:08 > 0:02:10I think so.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15BIRD TWEETS
0:02:15 > 0:02:16Brilliant!
0:02:16 > 0:02:18FERNE LAUGHS
0:02:18 > 0:02:21- Do you like letting them out to fly around?- Yes.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24It's important to have a safe area where they can
0:02:24 > 0:02:28- fly around - they need lots of exercise, don't they?- Yes.
0:02:28 > 0:02:32- How often do you let your birds fly around the room?- Every day.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34- It's good for them, isn't it?- Yes.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37Do you think they'll come and say hello in a minute?
0:02:37 > 0:02:39BIRDS TWEET
0:02:39 > 0:02:42They're gorgeous. Hello. Hi.
0:02:42 > 0:02:46I can't see what colour they are. What colours are they?
0:02:46 > 0:02:49Marigold's yellow with a reddy peachy coloured head,
0:02:49 > 0:02:52and Peter's head is a bit darker.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54- That's how you tell the difference? - Yes.
0:02:54 > 0:02:58- Do you know what kind they are? - Peach-faced lovebirds.
0:02:58 > 0:03:03A perfect name for them! They've got lovely big peachy faces.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07- Do you think that Peter and Marigold are best friends?- Yes.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10- How do you know? - They snuggle up together.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13- Really close?- Yes. - And do they get all fluffy?- Yes.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15Lovebirds are very sociable,
0:03:15 > 0:03:18and they form really strong bonds and friendships.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21And they can get really close to people, too.
0:03:21 > 0:03:25Leah, what is your favourite thing about having lovebirds?
0:03:25 > 0:03:27Because they land on your head.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29- They do, don't they? - And nibble your hair.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32Do you know what type of bird a lovebird is?
0:03:32 > 0:03:35- The smallest parrots. - Yeah, that's right.
0:03:35 > 0:03:39Peach-faced lovebirds are some of the smallest types of parrots,
0:03:39 > 0:03:42and you can get nine different types of lovebirds.
0:03:42 > 0:03:46The peach-faced, like these, are some of the most colourful.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50And noisy, I reckon. And how old are your lovebirds?
0:03:50 > 0:03:52Just over two.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54- That's still quite young, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:03:54 > 0:03:59Leah, your lovebirds are fantastic. They're so friendly and curious.
0:03:59 > 0:04:03Rory, can you tell us more facts about our feathery friends?
0:04:03 > 0:04:05BIRDS CHEEP AND CHATTER
0:04:05 > 0:04:07Of course, Ferne.
0:04:07 > 0:04:11One. There are lots of different types of lovebirds,
0:04:11 > 0:04:15and they all have different patterns and colours.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19Two. As lovebirds grow up,
0:04:19 > 0:04:22they like to find a friend who they will stay with for ever.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24Isn't that lovely?
0:04:24 > 0:04:27Three. Lovebirds like to feed each other
0:04:27 > 0:04:30by putting pieces of food into their friends' beaks.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32It looks like they're kissing!
0:04:34 > 0:04:37Four. Adult lovebirds are very colourful,
0:04:37 > 0:04:40but baby lovebirds tend to be born grey,
0:04:40 > 0:04:45and they don't get their colours till they're a bit older.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53Like lots of pets, lovebirds need careful looking after.
0:04:53 > 0:04:57So what do we have to do to look after Marigold and Peter?
0:04:57 > 0:05:00- You have to clean their cage. - Wow. That sounds like hard work.
0:05:00 > 0:05:05- Shall we get started?- OK. - Can your mum help me?- Yes.- OK.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11It's important to have an adult to help you,
0:05:11 > 0:05:13because bird poo can be harmful.
0:05:16 > 0:05:21- What we have to do now? - You clean the bars.- All right.
0:05:24 > 0:05:28- How often do you clean out their cage?- Once a week.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30BIRDS CHEEP
0:05:30 > 0:05:32- This OK?- Yeah.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34Make it nice and shiny.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37- Do you think they like getting their cage clean?- Yeah.
0:05:37 > 0:05:41I think these bars are looking good. What do we have to do now?
0:05:41 > 0:05:45You take out the perch and the trays and then take them outside.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47To give them a good clean?
0:05:51 > 0:05:54- OK, and these trays too, Leah?- Yeah.
0:05:56 > 0:05:57Right.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04Can you take out the bottom trays?
0:06:05 > 0:06:09I'll do the squirting, you do the scrubbing.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19- I think that looks good.- Yeah.- Yeah?
0:06:24 > 0:06:27- How's this looking, Leah?- Good.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29- Last bit?- OK.
0:06:36 > 0:06:40- This looks nice and shiny. What next, Leah?- The perch.
0:06:44 > 0:06:49- Shall we leave them to dry and get some food and water for them?- Yeah.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58- I'll do the food, you do the water.- OK.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14- Good to go?- Yeah.
0:07:14 > 0:07:20Leah, how often do you change their food and water?
0:07:20 > 0:07:23- Every day. - That's very good, isn't it?
0:07:23 > 0:07:27- And what do we do next? - We go and put the cage together.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29Yeah, let's go and get the trays.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41Let's pop the cage back.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49Are we done?
0:07:49 > 0:07:51One more thing. Let's put the...
0:07:51 > 0:07:52the bath in.
0:07:53 > 0:07:58- Do your lovebirds like taking baths? - Yes.- What do they do?
0:07:58 > 0:08:01They get themselves inside of it.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04- Do they splash around?- Yes.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10I think your lovebirds really like their clean home.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12- They are very happy.- They are!
0:08:23 > 0:08:26They're lovely. So curious.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29- They really fun, aren't they?- Yeah.
0:08:29 > 0:08:34If your lovebirds could do anything, what do you think they would do?
0:08:37 > 0:08:41If my pets could do anything, they would go on a treasure hunt.
0:08:41 > 0:08:45A big eagle would come along and drop a map for them.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48Then they would follow the trail of feathers on the map,
0:08:48 > 0:08:51and meet loads of their birdy friends on the way.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54And search for the treasure.
0:08:54 > 0:08:58And when they found the treasure, at the bottom of our garden,
0:08:58 > 0:09:02it would be a huge sunflower, and they could eat all of the seeds.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05BIRDS TWITTER
0:09:08 > 0:09:11Leah, your lovebirds have loads of toys.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14They need them because they're very playful.
0:09:14 > 0:09:18They are, they're VERY playful, and they're very intelligent.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21So they have lots of toys to stop them being bored.
0:09:21 > 0:09:26- Which is their favourite?- I think it might be their swing.- This one here?
0:09:26 > 0:09:29Yeah. Because I think they sleep on it.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33- Do they cuddle together and sleep on their swing?- Yeah.- Aww.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36I have an idea. Let's make them a new toy.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39That is such a good idea, and they sound excited.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42Let's make it outside, so it's a surprise.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45That is a really good idea. Let's go.
0:09:48 > 0:09:52Leah, this looks great. Where shall we get started?
0:09:52 > 0:09:54- A coconut shell.- Yeah.
0:09:54 > 0:09:59- Are we going to do a ladder? - Yeah, let's make a long ladder.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02- Do you think your lovebirds will like it?- Yes.
0:10:02 > 0:10:06We need things that are nice and safe and clean for your lovebirds. Why?
0:10:06 > 0:10:09Otherwise they'll chew them and get sick.
0:10:09 > 0:10:14- Yeah, they nibble everything, your lovebirds.- Yeah.
0:10:14 > 0:10:18- That's looking good. What else shall we put on?- Let's put on this.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21- Will they chew that?- I think so.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24- A pine cone?- Yeah.
0:10:24 > 0:10:28- Why don't we put some fruit on as a treat?- Oh, lovely.
0:10:28 > 0:10:32- Some peach.- Let's put some pepper on.
0:10:32 > 0:10:33Some sweet potato.
0:10:33 > 0:10:37Do you want to put that on? Yum, yum, yum.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41- These are nice healthy treats for your lovebirds.- Yeah.
0:10:41 > 0:10:45- Millet!- Oh! - We can't forget the millet.
0:10:45 > 0:10:49- Let's sprinkle some in the nest. - OK. You sprinkle.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53- Put this through here.- Oh, yeah.
0:10:55 > 0:11:00- That is perfect.- I think Marigold and Peter will love it.- So do I.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03- Let's go and give it to them. - Good idea.
0:11:08 > 0:11:12Do you want to open it? Make sure they can't see!
0:11:17 > 0:11:21- Is that all right?- Yes! But just shut it.- OK, OK.
0:11:23 > 0:11:27Ooh, look, Marigold's coming to have a look at it.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30BIRDS TWITTER
0:11:30 > 0:11:32I think she likes it. She's nibbling!
0:11:32 > 0:11:34And it's funny, isn't it -
0:11:34 > 0:11:38- when they look at things, they turn their heads sideways.- Yeah.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41What do you think they're saying? "What is that?"
0:11:41 > 0:11:45I think they're saying, "I like this. I'll have a nibble."
0:11:48 > 0:11:49Having another nibble.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52Peter's turn for a nibble.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54- It's a tasty toy.- Yep.
0:11:55 > 0:12:00I think your lovebirds really like their new toy.
0:12:00 > 0:12:05Thank you very much for inviting me to meet them. They're fantastic.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08I've had such an amazing time.

0:12:24 > 0:12:27I had such a brilliant time with my new friends.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29What do you think of my work?
0:12:29 > 0:12:32It's looking tidy, and the goats are happy.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34- Good job.- Thank you. - Pets are great,
0:12:34 > 0:12:38but you shouldn't touch any animals unless the owner says it's OK.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41Two pets you definitely CAN play with are ours.
0:12:41 > 0:12:45Go to the CBeebies website and play the My Pet And Me game.
