Since Day One , zookeeper Michael Livingston has looked after The Bears , attended to their needs and got to know their different personalities.
He Said : " Yang Guang is more of a people panda.
" He likes interaction with The Keepers . Whilst he's still a wild animal, and they're not pets at all, we definitely have a nice relationship in terms of our interaction with him and he definitely likes that interaction With Us .
" Tian Tian on The Other hand is completely different.
" She likes interaction when she wants it. She likes things her own way. "
Mr Livingston told Bbc Scotland News it had been a steep learning curve.
" We had looked after most bear species over The Years but they were completely different. They needed a bit more attention, they were a lot more sensitive.
" Getting our head around the bamboo was one of the biggest things. We quickly learned there was a seasonality of the species they like. Some species they won't eat at certain times of the year. We became experts in bamboo care. "
He will be The Last person to Say Goodbye as he will be accompanying The Bears on The Journey back to China.
The Zookeeper added: " They have consumed our lives over The Past 12 years.
" I think it'll be a sad day. I Am very happy to be going with them and feel lucky so it's quite nice I get to end that with them. "
The China Wildlife Conservation Association said that the country was now " well-prepared to welcome them back".
When they arrive, The Bears will begin a month's quarantine at the China Giant Panda Conservation and Research Centre in Ya'an, in the Sichuan province.
