Lots of different animals make excellent pets,

We're in Chesham, to meet Leah and her pet lovebirds.

0:01:100:01:13

Let's go find them.

0:01:130:01:15

Hi.

0:01:180:01:19

-Hi, Ferne!

-You must be Leah. Lovely to meet you.

0:01:190:01:23

-Hello, Murray.

-Hi.

-And hi, Mum.

-Hi, Ferne.

0:01:230:01:27

-What is that noise I hear?

-It's my lovebirds.

0:01:270:01:30

Ah, they're very loud, aren't they? Can we go see them?

0:01:300:01:34

-CHILDREN: Yes. OK.

-Come on, Ferne.

0:01:340:01:36

BIRDS CHIRP

0:01:380:01:40

Hello, you.

0:01:500:01:52

Leah, they are beautiful.

0:01:520:01:55

CHIRPING

0:01:560:01:58

That one's Marigold.

0:01:590:02:01

That one's Peter.

0:02:010:02:02

-Shall we let them out?

-I would love to. Will they come and say hello?

0:02:040:02:08

I think so.

0:02:080:02:10

BIRD TWEETS

0:02:130:02:15

Brilliant!

0:02:150:02:16

FERNE LAUGHS

0:02:160:02:18

-Do you like letting them out to fly around?

-Yes.

0:02:180:02:21

It's important to have a safe area where they can

0:02:210:02:24

-fly around - they need lots of exercise, don't they?

-Yes.

0:02:240:02:28

-How often do you let your birds fly around the room?

-Every day.

0:02:280:02:32

-It's good for them, isn't it?

-Yes.

0:02:320:02:34

Do you think they'll come and say hello in a minute?

0:02:340:02:37

BIRDS TWEET

0:02:370:02:39

They're gorgeous. Hello. Hi.

0:02:390:02:42

I can't see what colour they are. What colours are they?

0:02:420:02:46

Marigold's yellow with a reddy peachy coloured head,

0:02:460:02:49

and Peter's head is a bit darker.

0:02:490:02:52

-That's how you tell the difference?

-Yes.

0:02:520:02:54

-Do you know what kind they are?

-Peach-faced lovebirds.

0:02:540:02:58

A perfect name for them! They've got lovely big peachy faces.

0:02:580:03:03

-Do you think that Peter and Marigold are best friends?

-Yes.

0:03:030:03:07

-How do you know?

-They snuggle up together.

0:03:070:03:10

-Really close?

-Yes.

-And do they get all fluffy?

-Yes.

0:03:100:03:13

Lovebirds are very sociable,

0:03:130:03:15

and they form really strong bonds and friendships.

0:03:150:03:18

And they can get really close to people, too.

0:03:180:03:21

Leah, what is your favourite thing about having lovebirds?

0:03:210:03:25

Because they land on your head.

0:03:250:03:27

-They do, don't they?

-And nibble your hair.

0:03:270:03:29

Do you know what type of bird a lovebird is?

0:03:290:03:32

-The smallest parrots.

-Yeah, that's right.

0:03:320:03:35

Peach-faced lovebirds are some of the smallest types of parrots,

0:03:350:03:39

and you can get nine different types of lovebirds.

0:03:390:03:42

The peach-faced, like these, are some of the most colourful.

0:03:420:03:46

And noisy, I reckon. And how old are your lovebirds?

0:03:460:03:50

Just over two.

0:03:500:03:52

-That's still quite young, isn't it?

-Yeah.

0:03:520:03:54

Leah, your lovebirds are fantastic. They're so friendly and curious.

0:03:540:03:59

Rory, can you tell us more facts about our feathery friends?

0:03:590:04:03

BIRDS CHEEP AND CHATTER

0:04:030:04:05

Of course, Ferne.

0:04:050:04:07

One. There are lots of different types of lovebirds,

0:04:070:04:11

and they all have different patterns and colours.

0:04:110:04:15

Two. As lovebirds grow up,

0:04:170:04:19

they like to find a friend who they will stay with for ever.

0:04:190:04:22

Isn't that lovely?

0:04:220:04:24

Three. Lovebirds like to feed each other

0:04:240:04:27

by putting pieces of food into their friends' beaks.

0:04:270:04:30

It looks like they're kissing!

0:04:300:04:32

Four. Adult lovebirds are very colourful,

0:04:340:04:37

but baby lovebirds tend to be born grey,

0:04:370:04:40

and they don't get their colours till they're a bit older.

0:04:400:04:45

Like lots of pets, lovebirds need careful looking after.

0:04:500:04:53

So what do we have to do to look after Marigold and Peter?

0:04:530:04:57

-You have to clean their cage.

-Wow. That sounds like hard work.

0:04:570:05:00

-Shall we get started?

-OK.

-Can your mum help me?

-Yes.

-OK.

0:05:000:05:05

It's important to have an adult to help you,

0:05:080:05:11

because bird poo can be harmful.

0:05:110:05:13

-What we have to do now?

-You clean the bars.

-All right.

0:05:160:05:21

-How often do you clean out their cage?

-Once a week.

0:05:240:05:28

BIRDS CHEEP

0:05:280:05:30

-This OK?

-Yeah.

0:05:300:05:32

Make it nice and shiny.

0:05:320:05:34

-Do you think they like getting their cage clean?

-Yeah.

0:05:340:05:37

I think these bars are looking good. What do we have to do now?

0:05:370:05:41

You take out the perch and the trays and then take them outside.

0:05:410:05:45

To give them a good clean?

0:05:450:05:47

-OK, and these trays too, Leah?

-Yeah.

0:05:510:05:54

Right.

0:05:560:05:57

Can you take out the bottom trays?

0:06:010:06:04

I'll do the squirting, you do the scrubbing.

0:06:050:06:09

-I think that looks good.

-Yeah.

-Yeah?

0:06:160:06:19

-How's this looking, Leah?

-Good.

0:06:240:06:27

-Last bit?

-OK.

0:06:270:06:29

-This looks nice and shiny. What next, Leah?

-The perch.

0:06:360:06:40

-Shall we leave them to dry and get some food and water for them?

-Yeah.

0:06:440:06:49

-I'll do the food, you do the water.

-OK.

0:06:550:06:58

-Good to go?

-Yeah.

0:07:120:07:14

Leah, how often do you change their food and water?

0:07:140:07:20

-Every day.

-That's very good, isn't it?

0:07:200:07:23

-And what do we do next?

-We go and put the cage together.

0:07:230:07:27

Yeah, let's go and get the trays.

0:07:270:07:29

Let's pop the cage back.

0:07:390:07:41

Are we done?

0:07:470:07:49

One more thing. Let's put the...

0:07:490:07:51

the bath in.

0:07:510:07:52

-Do your lovebirds like taking baths?

-Yes.

-What do they do?

0:07:530:07:58

They get themselves inside of it.

0:07:580:08:01

-Do they splash around?

-Yes.

0:08:010:08:04

I think your lovebirds really like their clean home.

0:08:070:08:10

-They are very happy.

-They are!

0:08:100:08:12

They're lovely. So curious.

0:08:230:08:26

-They really fun, aren't they?

-Yeah.

0:08:260:08:29

If your lovebirds could do anything, what do you think they would do?

0:08:290:08:34

If my pets could do anything, they would go on a treasure hunt.

0:08:370:08:41

A big eagle would come along and drop a map for them.

0:08:410:08:45

Then they would follow the trail of feathers on the map,

0:08:450:08:48

and meet loads of their birdy friends on the way.

0:08:480:08:51

And search for the treasure.

0:08:510:08:54

And when they found the treasure, at the bottom of our garden,

0:08:540:08:58

it would be a huge sunflower, and they could eat all of the seeds.

0:08:580:09:02

0:09:020:09:05

Leah, your lovebirds have loads of toys.

0:09:080:09:11

They need them because they're very playful.

0:09:110:09:14

They are, they're VERY playful, and they're very intelligent.

0:09:140:09:18

So they have lots of toys to stop them being bored.

0:09:180:09:21

-Which is their favourite?

-I think it might be their swing.

-This one here?

0:09:210:09:26

Yeah. Because I think they sleep on it.

0:09:260:09:29

-Do they cuddle together and sleep on their swing?

-Yeah.

-Aww.

0:09:290:09:33

I have an idea. Let's make them a new toy.

0:09:330:09:36

That is such a good idea, and they sound excited.

0:09:360:09:39

Let's make it outside, so it's a surprise.

0:09:390:09:42

That is a really good idea. Let's go.

0:09:420:09:45

Leah, this looks great. Where shall we get started?

0:09:480:09:52

-A coconut shell.

-Yeah.

0:09:520:09:54

-Are we going to do a ladder?

-Yeah, let's make a long ladder.

0:09:540:09:59

-Do you think your lovebirds will like it?

-Yes.

0:09:590:10:02

We need things that are nice and safe and clean for your lovebirds. Why?

0:10:020:10:06

Otherwise they'll chew them and get sick.

0:10:060:10:09

-Yeah, they nibble everything, your lovebirds.

-Yeah.

0:10:090:10:14

-That's looking good. What else shall we put on?

-Let's put on this.

0:10:140:10:18

-Will they chew that?

-I think so.

0:10:180:10:21

-A pine cone?

-Yeah.

0:10:220:10:24

-Why don't we put some fruit on as a treat?

-Oh, lovely.

0:10:240:10:28

-Some peach.

-Let's put some pepper on.

0:10:280:10:32

Some sweet potato.

0:10:320:10:33

Do you want to put that on? Yum, yum, yum.

0:10:330:10:37

-These are nice healthy treats for your lovebirds.

-Yeah.

0:10:380:10:41

-Millet!

-Oh!

-We can't forget the millet.

0:10:410:10:45

-Let's sprinkle some in the nest.

-OK. You sprinkle.

0:10:450:10:49

-Put this through here.

-Oh, yeah.

0:10:510:10:53

-That is perfect.

-I think Marigold and Peter will love it.

-So do I.

0:10:550:11:00

-Let's go and give it to them.

-Good idea.

0:11:000:11:03

Do you want to open it? Make sure they can't see!

0:11:080:11:12

-Is that all right?

-Yes! But just shut it.

-OK, OK.

0:11:170:11:21

Ooh, look, Marigold's coming to have a look at it.

0:11:230:11:27

BIRDS TWITTER

0:11:270:11:30

I think she likes it. She's nibbling!

0:11:300:11:32

And it's funny, isn't it -

0:11:320:11:34

-when they look at things, they turn their heads sideways.

-Yeah.

0:11:340:11:38

What do you think they're saying? "What is that?"

0:11:380:11:41

I think they're saying, "I like this. I'll have a nibble."

0:11:410:11:45

Having another nibble.

0:11:480:11:49

Peter's turn for a nibble.

0:11:490:11:52

-It's a tasty toy.

-Yep.

0:11:520:11:54

I think your lovebirds really like their new toy.

0:11:550:12:00

Thank you very much for inviting me to meet them. They're fantastic.

0:12:000:12:05

I've had such an amazing time.

-Hi, Rory.

-Hi, Ferne. How was your day?

-Oh, it was great.

0:12:210:12:24

I had such a brilliant time with my new friends.

0:12:240:12:27

What do you think of my work?

0:12:270:12:29

It's looking tidy, and the goats are happy.

0:12:290:12:32

-Good job.

-Thank you.

-Pets are great,

0:12:320:12:34

but you shouldn't touch any animals unless the owner says it's OK.

0:12:340:12:38

Two pets you definitely CAN play with are ours.

0:12:380:12:41

Go to the CBeebies website and play the My Pet And Me game.
