TRANSCRIPT - So this is Mikhail and Alexa's new cage. Mikhail and Alexa are just happy together. Alexa, she was hit by a car. Mikhail, he was a little bit sulky at first, but then he met Alexa and he fell in love. He taps her chest with his bill and he taps her toes with his bill and he snuggles up to her at night. They're very close. Not all birds like each other. If hummingbirds don't like their immediate company, they will kill them.
