SUMMARY OF THE VIDEO
Mother Nanday to Baby Nandays [talking very quietly and very fast]: Sweetheart, say this, “That COVID-stricken stuff must stop!
[COVID-stricken means ‘woebegone’.]
Alice to Mother Nanday: That’s right!
Baby Nanday to Alice: That COVID-stricken stuff must stop! Yes, it must! It must REAL-ly stop!
Alice to Nandays: We’re Nandays, and we say that …
Mother Nanday to Baby Nanday [talking very quietly]: That’s right, Sweetheart!
Baby Nanday to Mother Keetie: It MUST stop. Thank you, Mother Keetie!

Baby Nanday to Alice: Yep.
Mother Nanday is expressing aggravation: Try COVID-stricken again.
Baby Nanday to Alice: COVID-STRICKEN! NOT ok.

Alice to Nandays: ‘Bye ‘bye. ‘Bye ‘bye.
Mother Nanday to Baby Nanday [twittering, second time]: Sweetheart, Can you say ‘COVID-stricken’?
Baby Nanday to Mother Nanday: Yep!
[Alice to Readers: I get it’s a lot better to say you’re sorry! The mammas … or maybe it is the babies? … are really angry with me today.
I don’t know much about Nanday parakeets. I hope they don’t take this personally.]
Baby Nanday to Alice: Goddamn you, Quit!
Mother Nanday chitters her disapproval of the baby’s reply to me.
[Alice: Uh oh!]

NOTE: I could not find substantiation that Mother Nandays make whistling, cooing, and chittering sounds with their babies, but I feel it must be so.
Some of the Nandays’ words seemed very clear to me and others I was not quite sure about.
What do you think?
