Yesterday I made the guinea pig video and forgot the camera in video mode. Today a squirrel had breakfast in our bird feeder and my mum wanted to make pictures. She didn't even realise she was filming it. The result is a lot of videos with the camera randomly jerking around and running commentary by mum and grandpa. XD

I find myself very distracted by the fact that I don't know what they're saying! Great view of the feeder out the window, by the way.

Can't complain about the view. :)
Let's get you undistracted then.
first video
Grandpa: He/she is so busy that there is no time to look (around).
Mum: good stuff is served here. Whoa, now!
Grandpa: There, on the wall.
second video
Mum: He/she likes the seeds... Only the ear is showing... The birds scare him/her as well.

Looking at your translation has made me curious, now. Is there a special pronoun in Estonian that means either he or she, other than it? Or were they actually saying he/she? Hope you don't mind me asking!

Estonian doesn't have he and she, only one unisex word tema or ta for short. The same goes for Finnish where they use temä. I found it hard to decide what to use for translation, because I don't know the squirrel's sex and it is not used for live creatures.
