Hi, guys! Welcome back to Animal Wonders!

It's been really busy around here, so today we have an unscripted show,

Sentences with would like

and I'd love to introduce you to our newest ambassador.

Meet Steve the Cockatiel! I'm still getting to know Steve.

He came to us about two weeks ago, and he has been obviously loved.

He couldn't move with his owner into their new apartment,

and so she called us up and said, "Will you please take him?"

He's just starting to show his personality, which is pretty fun.

Getting to know a new animal's like kind of getting to know a new friend.

And I kind of have to do it from scratch...

For example, all the little vocalizations he makes are so fun, and

just learning those and learning how I can respond to him to make him have fun,

we really hope that they find a bird companion

And so we were hoping that he would bond with Agent Perry, our parakeet.

They've just been introduced and they're getting along so far,

but because neither of them are being aggressive towards each other,

there's a really good chance that they'll become friends in the future.

There's a few things that we do need to work on.

He's being really good right now staying on my finger,

but whenever he gets excited or nervous, he wants to jump to my shoulder,

So we're just working-on finger holding right now.

And I would like to be able to put my finger on his...

The reason that I want to be able to put my thumb over his toe is for safety reasons.

It's going to help protect him if he does get spooked or startled.

He's not going to be able to jump off, or fly off my hand completely.

I think Steve is going to be an amazing ambassador, just because he's so relaxed,

and he does enjoy a lot of different people's company.

So he's going to help create an emotional connection

when we take him out and do presentations.

I'm so thankful that we were able to take in Steve,

and I hope that him and Agent Perry become the best of friends,

And I'm really excited to learn all about him,

and all the new things that you can show me.

And this one with the smooth antennae and smaller bumps is the female.

Her name is Sue. But do you know what's really neat?
