Transcript

I mean, I can tell you a little bit about myself. My name is birdie. I'm 29. Yeah? Yeah? Is that helping? I collect. Oh, I know. I collect stuffed animals. I know I can show them to you sometimes like that. You like stuffed animals? Oh, my gosh. Yeah. Um, I was born and raised in Kansas. Uh, I love animals. I'm dying to tell. I've been sitting out here for an hour. I have a dog and a cat, and we got our cat just like this. We found her outside like you, although she was really little, and we had to snatch her up. Oh, that's quite the headbutt. My favorite food is noodles. Pasta. Oh no. You're scared of carbs. What you doing? What is it? I like Asian food and Italian food. And I've been known to dabble in Indian food, too. Oh, she loves you. I also really like hamsters. She's like me, too, but for a different reason. Yeah. And I have a sweet tooth. I like candy. I don't like fish. But you do. I know that.
