Bringing Home a 45 Year old Amazon Parrot!

[@CourtneyYoung-wu1yf]

Cute bird 💘🌻🌸🩷💯😀🎤🌷

[@jaq837]

Happy Birthday!! I am blown away by Josee. What a sweetheart❤

[@mj6962]

Ah Ft. Lauderdale. Used to live there and I really miss it! But Southern California is nice too. Thanks for sharing this.

[@olderpennsylvanian-op2368]

My heart hurts for Jose's previous momma. I am 70 and my PepperAnnie is 20 years old, and I can imagine how hard it was for her to have to rehome him. There is nobody better who could give him his best life and family. He is adorable and will fit right in with all of you.

[@Jo-en4ml]

you are so right that this bird is very lucky, and it sounds like your pepperannie is very lucky to have you too💗

[@sezwo5774]

Us aging and older parrot owners have a real problem. I never thought 26 years with my TAG will pass so fast, ...and my parrot will still be a youngster while I get seriously older and more and more concerned about what happens when I am gone.

[@Jo-en4ml]

@@sezwo5774 It is so sad that we have to think like this with our parrots, mine is a rescue boy and he nearly killed me when I first got him even though he was very weak back then. He's strong now, and I don't know how he could be re-homed with his anxiety aggression, I sadly hope that I will outlive him

[@pandap4ntz]

Birds are such special beings, I wish there were more resources out there for them. My life is a bit if a mess atm, but if I'm able to get it together I want to help birds wherever/however I can. I have 3 rescue budgies that have been with me for 5yrs, but I think I'm capable of helping more. I wish that people wouldn't have to be separated from their loved ones as they age. It would be ideal if senior facilities were equipped for folks to bring their pets along. Sadly it's hard enough to get proper care for our seniors, let alone their pets. We should really invest more resources into how we care for our elderly, they deserve better, and we can't forget that we all get old.

[@TattooedGranny]

What a beauty! I adopted a 36 yr old DYH from a rescue last Nov after his owner also was too old to care tor him. From scared of hands, poor diet, never having freedom or toys to the loving, smart, inquisitive little green potato he is today it was the best decision of my life. And he smells yummy too.❤ 🦜

[@aquariusmoon771]

❤!!!

[@oink8520]

you seem like a great person 🧡🧡 sending love to you and your green potato lol

[@michelehemlokhexwhite4310]

[@cherylreed1575]

[@t2fast]

My baby Charlie passed away a few weeks ago and I am heart broken. She was a red lord amazon and around 50 years old. I would adopt this sweet bird Marlene.

[@markcary5928]

When he started to talk. I started to cry of joy.

[@laurenschenck5355]

[@zibabird]

[@MARLENEMCCOHEN]

Thank you so so much!!!

[@skatergirl1998]

You really have such a heart I took a lost bird in people thought was mine I got there knew it wasn't. The bird was so afraid bit and drew blood that was a cockatiel, taking them in the show really works to bond it eventually broke it's leg and I was going to pay the money I have vet experienced she really degraded so I called it and had her put down. But she had come round alot and experienced happiness also with my Alexandra. My Alexandra smartest bird I've had he was so scared when he was little but spoon feeding we are so close. I post photos and videos of him on KZbin and fb recently ish started. Eventually going to buy a macaw. Gives kisses makes turbo noises makes loud noises and goes into a wing flap everywhere.. I love this women I'm glad she stepped in and helped

[@add_xtine775]

[@suzannedawson6330]

He’s darling. Breaks my heart when I know they’re grieving. My B&G grieved for my little African Grey for 6 months when she passed. So hard when you can’t explain.

[@leighann5308]

Happy Birthday you beautiful kind hearted sweetheart I love your vids. ❤🎉

[@Coyo-Tea]

Oh he is just such a lovely little guy. It must have been hard for the son to leave Jose and Jose must be feeling so many things. He is in the best place right now though. Hope you had a good Birthday.

[@lisaricci4779]

[@giselleplantbasedvegan9174]

It breaks my heart, and I’m so thankful for kind and compassionate people like yourself. I have a 38 yo yellow nape Amazon and the thought of someday him losing me or his home crushes my heart.

[@marydupureur1947]

Its amazing to me that this parrot came around this fast.

[@davidsavage6227]

What a beautiful, sweet Amazon! Thank you for investing your time and energy into re-homing these magnificent creatures!

[@ShadowStrike28]

Happy birthday, Marlene. I appreciate you and George doing all that you do to provide such an amazing life and/or transition for these birds. Josee is such a cutie. I pray he will be happy in his new home.

[@IrieAllDay88]

Happy Birthday, Marlene. Josee is so beautiful. I would have loved to take care of him for the rest of his life. Whomever gets to do that, I hope he/she will shower him with more love than is humanly possible. Please keep us updated.

I’m absolutely in love with Josse. If you still happen to have it please let me know. I would love to have it and care for it. I’m a bird lover and l had lovebirds in the past .

[@spiritmatter1553]

Good to see you back!

[@jmdenison]

I have a 35 year old double yellow head name Maxie and he is a total hoot. a sneaky biter and not very cuddly--yet, but it's only been 5 years, there's time. last bit me last month about 40 days so he's improving

[@BOB-Route66Parrots]

Thanks for the positive take on sanctuaries. My wife and I have had a haven for birds for several years now. We are not a 501(c)3 because I refuse to beg for help and I hate red tape. I'm a disabled vet and we do what we can afford which has included buying a farm that has a 5000 sq ft building that we have just to house the birds. Our mission is to give the birds their best life as close as we can to freedom and remove them from the home hopping that so often comes with being a pet. Most of our surrenders are from the elderly and families of the departed. They are comfortable with knowing that the bird will not be subjected to being passed around. We even have previous owners that come occasionally to visit the birds and know that they are happy and healthy. Love your channel and your advise. ❤

[@vivisabol]

Maybe a bird is with you.. that would live a forever home.. My pineapple conyer came and found me in a November 2012 he lived with me for 11 years so happily we bonded and now he just left me August 10th and I'm so sad he was a pineapple green cheek conyer... I don't know where he came from but after a few days we were completely bonded and he was just an amazing companion I miss him so much.... I'm crying right now

[@Marcia-t9j]

Happy Happy Birthday to you sweet Marlene 🎉🎈🎂😍🤩

[@sawdust2556]

What a sweetie!❤He sniffs so good right out the gate for our birthday girl! When Hoosie said hello, I cried!omgosh! You and George at the end! I’m dying!

[@OwnedByACatNamedC.C.]

I’m glad Jose is going to stay in the family! I’ve fallen for him already & my heart goes out to him on the loss of his longtime companion.🥹I really hope you post more often, & keep us informed on how he’s doing! 🦜 ❤

[@Bethpennie]

Such a sweet calm bird!! Omg I’m tearing up!

[@The-Grateful-Hippie]

I'm glad Lucy and Snowden went home with your brother! I always wondered what happened to them.

[@marydupureur1947]

Jose is such a beautiful parrot. it's a very sad situation to be taken from the only person it's ever known. Thank goodness for people like you, marlene, so many birds out there end up in situations like this.

[@sezwo5774]

Wonderful, thanks for helping him. I love how Josie is tricked to check out the Cockatoos crest @18:16 and then realizes he should not be messing around with another birds crest and stops. I wish you can find him a new home. As I get older myself I begin to worry about my 25 year old TAG raised by me since 5 weeks old. This video is so relevant to so many of us. Thanks again. Wish you and your family the best. Good health and patience with the birds. Edit: Happy birthday of course!!

[@judyraymond6081]

Happy Birthday and Many More!!! Josee is beautiful!!! God Bless and Love You ❤❤❤!!!

[@karenhearne]

I wish I had known how freaking awesome birds would be to rescue and protect. Unfortunately I am too old. My adult son had a neighbor who put their birds outside with minimal interaction. I have since become amazed at how intelligent compassionate they are. Carry on with your rescues.

[@pegbrown5533]

Happy Birthday Gurl! Bless u! I can't stop crying? Sad n Happy tears, mostly Happy tears for this Feather baby, Omg! Soooooo glad to c u on here, seen Rocky walk thru,Yay!

Prayers for Jose/Josee, I secretly hope u keep him, but there will b jealousy all around with ur babies, especially Rocky with George, ( Josee being a man's bird) It'll work out, I'm hopeful! Love from Ky

[@aquariusmoon771]

You are such a wonderful family. 🧡🌼

[@WarmFuzzyVibes]

Marlene, it is so good to see you and hear your voice and to see Geoege and your Bro Danny and Sio. Once this sweet bird, Josee, is at his new home, please let his previous mom and her son know and give them updates, I am sure they would want to know how he is doing! But you probably already thought of doing exactly that!😊

[@BellemyVlogs]

[@galeem713]

Happy birthday. I wish someone would trust me with a bird like this. Love amazons.
