00:00Nicely. Yeah, nice. That's a good boy. Like the Pied Piper.
00:12So today we are going to be trying something a little bit different.
00:18For those who have been following recent videos, Meg and Ikki are refusing to vacate
00:27the camp that leads into the big walking camp which is really prohibiting me from taking other animals
00:33for walks. We have literally tried everything. We even built a temporary ramp. Now with all this
00:40weather unfortunately our ramp has got all soggy and a part of it has fallen away. I must just
00:47emphasize it was a temporary ramp and if it worked we were then going to look at building something a
00:52little bit more secure. However, Meg didn't even come up to go on the ramp or to use the ramp
01:02and
01:02Icarus has been acting up. He's been a bit strange lately. He is possessive over scraps of food
01:11that are not even food. He's possessive over bones, he's possessive over pieces of skin,
01:18bits of fat and growling and Meg is a little bit feeling a bit out of sorts because of it.
01:29And so we've we've hatched a plan. The plan is as follows. We're going to take this beautiful girl,
01:35hello Niobe. Niobe? We're going to take Niobe and her sister who are compliant, yes. You are compliant,
01:47yes. Oh, oh, oh. You're beautiful, yes. So we're going to take Niobe and Echo, we're going to shift them
01:58up
01:58one camp. They're going to load in the loading vehicle as per usual. Then what we have done is we
02:04have
02:05cordoned off the corridors here at the sanctuary with fencing. We're going to put precious Nikita
02:14in the night area so that she is safe and sound and away. And then what we're going to do
02:23is we're
02:24going to walk Sabindi. And for those of you who are new to the channel, you will know, well, for
02:31those of
02:32you who are new to the channel, Sabindi is actually a wild lion. So she is not tame. She does
02:39not come up easily.
02:41She's quite nervous and suspicious of people. But I have in the past been able to move her just with
02:49chunks of meat within the corridor, can get within 10 to 15 meters of her, no problem. And she hopefully
02:59will walk from that camp over there all the way here into this camp where Echo and Niobe are.
03:07Once we've done that, I will then get Meg and Icarus and walk them simply into the camp that's
03:13opposite the camp that they're in now. That's the camp where Sabindi is. That's the plan guys.
03:32Come. Come. Come guys. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Hello my darling. Looks like you're in a better mood today.
03:48Are you in a better mood today? No jumping required. Eh? Aren't we nice? Yes. Yes. You look all wet.
04:07Yeah.
04:07Oh. And you Mr. Grumps? Eh? Mr. Grumpy Grumps? Hello big boy.
04:18Icky. Nicely. Nicely. Yeah. Nice. That's a good boy. Good boy. Nicely.
04:39Icky. Come. Come. Come guys. Yeah. Yeah.
04:53Yeah.
04:57Yeah. Like the Pied Piper.
05:03Yeah.
05:12Yeah. Yeah.
05:23Yeah.
05:24Oulla. Oulla. Oulla.
05:25Yeah, Meggy. Meg.
05:49Vick, yeah, yeah, oh yeah you are working better my boy.
06:27Oh, yeah.
06:43Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
06:57Come, yeah, Vicky, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Vicky, Vicky.
07:15Vicky.
07:21Vicky.
07:23Yeah.
07:27Yeah.
07:28Yeah.
07:40So Meggie is in, safe and sound, wonderful.
07:47Icarus decided to go back.
07:50Where is he?
07:52Is he back?
07:56He's coming back.
07:58Charles?
07:58Yes.
07:59I'm not worried about him fighting with her anyway.
08:02Okay.
08:03Because he's, he'll be, he's a ladies man.
08:05Ah, yeah.
08:06You know.
08:09Oh, just going to make my life easier if we're just going to fetch him.
08:31Yeah.
08:33Yeah.
08:35Yeah.
08:37Yeah.
08:38Yeah, boy.
08:52Yeah.
08:54Yeah.
08:55Yeah.
08:56Yeah.
08:58Yeah.
09:02Yeah.
09:03Come.
09:04Yeah, boy.
09:09Nope, no loading
09:12I want to walk
09:15Look at the positive side
09:17The exercise is good for him
09:30Yeah
09:37Yeah
09:38Yeah, boy
09:41Yeah
10:00Yeah
10:05Yeah
10:07Yeah
10:08Yeah
10:10Yeah
10:11In there
10:12In, yeah
10:17Yeah
10:18Yeah
10:21Yeah
10:23Good boy
10:25Yeah
10:25Yeah
10:28That's it
10:28Yeah
10:33Yeah
10:37Yeah
10:39Yeah
10:40Yeah
10:41Yeah
10:55Yeah
10:57Yeah
10:57Yeah
11:12Oh, boy
11:13When it rains, it pours
11:14I think
11:15Icarus looks like he's not seen
11:18That
11:19Well
11:21So
11:24We're gonna just go back to familiarity
11:26Which, which is, I think, what he wants
11:28He wants to go back
11:29To the camp
11:30And then we're gonna try and load him in the back of the car
11:33Yeah, boy
11:37Because that's what he's used to
11:40Okay, yeah
11:45Yeah
11:49Yeah, boy
11:50Ooh
11:51Ooh
11:53Ooh
11:54Yeah
12:02Ooh
12:03Yeah
12:05Yeah
12:07Iki
12:09Yeah
12:10Yeah
12:16Yeah
12:17Yeah, listen, my boy
12:18Yeah
12:19Yeah
12:29Yeah
12:51Yeah
12:52Yeah
12:54Yeah
12:57Yeah
12:59Yeah
12:59Yeah
13:02Iki
13:15Yeah
13:17Yeah
13:35Yeah, so that's the joys of working with old animals, guys.
13:54Guys, okay, so it takes a lot for us to give up, we're very persistent and we persevere,
14:03but Icarus is lying flat, a flat cat.
14:10The old man is tired, it's been way too much for him this morning.
14:14So, as the old adage goes, instead of throwing more good meat after bad, we're going to call
14:21it a day.
14:22We do have a plan, we always have a plan.
14:25And the plan is, is tomorrow morning, when Icarus is feeling fresh, George and I are going
14:31to drive in to the camp where he feels confident and familiar, we'll load him in the loading
14:39vehicle and hopefully Bob's your uncle.
14:44Anyway, that's the theory.
14:46We'll pick it up tomorrow.
14:49If you are mildly interested to see whether Icarus does decide to be reunited with Meg,
15:00I suggest you tune in.
15:01I suggest you tune in.
15:30You
