Ive tried several ways not sure whats wrong here

how do I call the eat method on my check if hungry ?

panda.py 
class Panda:
    species = 'Ailuropoda melanoleuca'
    food = 'bamboo'

    def __init__(self, name, age):
        self.is_hungry = True
        self.name = name
        self.age = age

    def eat(self):
        self.is_hungry = False
        name = 'Bao Bao'
        return f'{self.name} eats {self.food}.'

    def check_if_hungry(self):
        if (self.is_hungry == True):
            panda = Panda()
            panda.eat()

def check_if_hungry(self):
        if self.is_hungry == True:
            self.eat()

Instead of calling the method with the class name, use self. Also, you didn't need the parentheses. Ask if you have any questions.
