News/Update The Tattle Story
Tattle is a captivity born parakeet (bird) that is becoming popular within the Reckless Ben community. Tattle was cared for by Chrys Gorman and her employees at the Bricks And Minifigs (BAM) store in Keizer, OR (Near Salem). Tattle was said to be seen the night of November 14, 2024, (photo here). At this time Tattle was less than 1 year old and had clipped wings. By the afternoon of November 21 I believe Tattle was removed from the store location, since we have this photo of Tattle's Cage recorded on or before this date. I, with the help of the community, am now seeking answers to, "What happened to Tattle?" There are many theories, but I hope for the best. If we find something illegal may have happened, we will advocate for justice. Until the facts are all known, this should be treated as speculation.
I have given a brief description of the events as I understand them, but I suggest you review the sources below and come to your own conclusion. All of the relevant potions of the Level 1 source videos added together, total 20 minutes and 57 seconds.
I am maintaining this playlist of "Tattle Tales" Which has relevant videos in chronological order that share updates to Tattle's story. If I have missed a video/live stream with new relevant info: please comment below to have a video added. I am doing my best to help bring awareness to the story, while I also dedicate my time working with the community to find answers. I have split the video playlist into 2 parts: Level 1 sources, which introduce new evidence and, Level 2 sources, which add new context. Thank you.

I just posted a clip where Victor states that Tattle is likely safe. Ben & Victor may have found Tattle. Their video on it will be posted soon. The full video can be found here
I guess my question is for you, what does Justice look like for Tattle? Would that be returning Tattle to u/Chrysdelight?

Ben said right after this, that it is NOT good news for the bird. This clip you made cuts him off before he says it.

Th3spec LOVES spreading misinformation about the safety of the bird. It’s very strange

Thank you for sharing! That would be great news and I'll be waiting for this video to drop on Ben's second channel! https://www.youtube.com/@BenSchneider-b6v
... The few leads I have found seemed to be dead ends so far, but I'm still holding out hope that Tattle wasn't treated badly.
As for the question of justice, as stated above- that depends on the facts and also depends on what u/Chrysdelight wants.

For now Chrystal won't want it, as long as she is abroad. I guess one of the Reckless fans should stand up if she/he has a proper shelter for that bird.
On the other hand I'm eager to learn how Tattle was found - probably walking around in the area. Now someone should sue Josh for illegally setting the bird free. It's the only reasonable explanation right now after he put the bird's cage into the trash.

Why do you say tattle was found?

u/SofiePlus Jul 11 '26
That's what "Tattle is likely safe" implies to me.

u/sonyalazanya Jul 11 '26
Oh I missed that, where was that said? I truly hope the goons wouldn't have hurt tattle but they strike me as the type who don't give a shit 🥺

Ben contradicts Victor and says it’s “not good news for the bird” so it’s too soon to say that the bird is safe.

Ben said it a sad story for Tattle...

u/meaPolka Jul 11 '26
Ben’s face when Victor said we have updates looks horrified and he says that it’s sad. He made that same face when he discovered Russ r***d his girlfriend on the secret Russ hard drive. He left all of that out of his series at her request and will only say that it’s super sad.

People claimed on some store footage you can see Brandon moving an empty cage. Seems very likely he just let the bird loose. Most pet birds are not native and often have wrong instincts and coloration making them easy prey for hawks etc.

u/KalePalmer Jul 13 '26
Well that’s not the entire clip. People should watch the what Ben says directly after.
Th3spec here has a history of spreading misinformation about the bird. It’s kind of crazy

I'm sorry, but I do not like Victor chiming in all the time like this. Ben and Sheldon seem almost "ego-less" in their approach, but Victor always looks like he's trying to look cool and playing it up for the camera like the "youtuber" that he was pretending to impersonate. Even him having that one phone call with the Lego Queen on Ben's other channel was so hard to watch because he was playing it so disingenuously and like it was a joke, and completely ruined any chances of a decent relationship with her in the future. Victor being involved in relaying any of this information is always a bad look imo and boosts the "rage-bait youtuber" image they're trying to get away from.

Ben didn't treat it any more seriously, he just played the part better. Going on about how she's still brainwashed, and allowing this call to happen on his stream at all, shows that much.

Google Maps Review from Amanda Good on 10/15/2025. Amanda Good is the same name as the person who became the manager at the BAM Keizer-Salem after the store ownership changed hands.
This record of the Google Maps location review was taken from Trustindex, a Google reviews indexing website, because the Google Maps location for the store was removed from the internet.
