Cockatoo Going To The Vet 2019 Version

Complaints? Max has two tremendous and sparkly clean cages. Dozens of perches. Hundreds of toys constantly being renewed to keep his mind from getting bored...his physical condition is superb and he’s adored. I just wonder if I can move in with this man! I love it when Max mumbles from under his cage like a little old man in a park, mumbling over checkers. Thank you for being such a thoroughly perfect Bird Daddy. No, I don’t own a bird because I don’t have the tolerance for the loud noise they make. That screech from a larger bird can break windows. Almost. But I love animals, including these exquisite birds, and study their behavior. Max is calm, content and beautifully cared for. An oasis in a world of cruelty to animals that cannot be even thought of without pain. Thank you! Ok; now go get your nails done, Max.

People just get a bug up their butts about something at times, then vent on the next poor soul they get in the crosshairs. No one has any room to complain about max and his care. When you adopt a bird, you should have to watch maxs videos to get a clear picture of how to make a bird this happy!

[@princessaur]

Seriously? There are people accusing you of abusing Max? He has plenty of toys, perches, and he's out of his cage every single day and gets plenty of attention from daddy. He seems like a happy bird to me.

Dan you are such a wonderful dad, I have my sulphur crested cockatoo for over 30 years, I don’t know how old he is But I m glad the pet shop where I brought him from cheated me. Told me he was a young bird and a female, well it was the other way around, when I took him to the bird doctor,he was not young and is a male, i love him dearly,he had out lived 4 dogs and a chinchilla, now he is the only pet I have, i m over 70 years old and survived cancer twice, my most fear is if something happens to me , who will take care of him, I pray and hope there will be someone out there , a person like you will adopt him ,

[@parrotgenie5099]

People at times can get to critical of everything at times. I won't delist a video, or even care about the complaints. Granted I thought as well the last cage was to small myself as have cockatoos as well and they need a lot of room, but he resolve the issue when he moved, and he stated he needed help building the cage as he not physically able to. Now people complaining cage is to big is laughable? Seriously? So long if it fit in room it good, the bigger the better and bar spacing on that cage is good, nothing wrong with that cage. Perches a lot more to this topic, but that bird out all the time and different size perches, so not really a issue. Natural wood better, but not really a requirement. Plus I use a mix of dowel and natural wood perches myself. It depends on cage and what bird prefer? He not abusing the bird and bird is well care for like a child pretty much. He can upgrade, or people can sent him new perches later if it really bother them that much. No bird will not get bumblefoot just solely due to the dowel perches. It would have to be all the same size, bird not out of cage much and to small and sitting on same perch for hours at a time to cause bumblefoot as pressure is on the same spot all the time and what causes it. It usually more caused by bird being cage bound and in same spot all the time and neglected. He may not be the most perfect care taker, but he is trying his best and does clearly care and love that bird.

To get my macaw to "go for a ride in the car" is a week long adventure. I have to tell him every day, counting down the days. On the day of the visit, I have to essentially trick him into hopping up to go see the dog, and when he does, we wisk into the dog room where the travel cage awaits. He says hi to the dog, blows kisses, sees the travel cage and begins to object. I reason with him that we'd been talking about going to the vet or whereever we're to go, and he lets me put him in the cage. He likes car rides about as much as a kid likes a roller coaster. He's very excited about all the new sights, sounds and traffic. He yells hello to everyone on the freeway, and does his little kitten purr when there's no one on the road. He has a very interesting relationship with his vet. Every time he tries to intimidate and scare the vet, but the vet is very good at subduing the belligerent bird. After the initial "I'm bigger than you" show, my bird allows the examination to happen, essentially without complaint.

Well said, Max is so lucky to find a daddy like Dan. I can't understand some people..guess they're jealous.

[@heatherbeyer7355]

You abuse max? Isn’t it the other way around? Lol lol

[@parrotgenie5099]

It usually the other way around the bird abuses owner?

[@lynnem3288]

Dan is one of the best of the good guys.

[@seagullofficial3057]

I think Max is a wizard who turned himself into a cockatoo by accident. When Max does that low voice he sounds like a old wizard who recorded himself reciting spells...

[@AmbrociousXP]

In lore, witches used to perform tricks by transforming into birds...you might be onto something!

[@cocobeebe]

Low voice sounds so robotic and fake to me

[@franceswitham8214]

THE VOICE has returned.

[@c.joyceb.8991]

I love when Mr. Max Rants, opens his feathers and flaps his wings. No vet, no vet,! And starts mumbling. Mr. Max, you are The. Entertainer.

[@dawnv3436]

He gets so mad and makes a chant of "I'm so sick of this so sick. So sick of this" kinda noises. Why don't you listen!? ;) What a cute gorgeous and expressive bird! He adores you obviously.

[@craftsandstuff3349]

I know. Sometimes I hear specific things and don't hear Dan responding to them. Like "I know you're sick of it." Echo conversation like how we talk with very young children. Might be a way to train birds to talk better.

[@itsRAINYbytch]

I love how Max pulls down the towel and laughs. Then goes back to unscrewing the carrier. Lmao. He’s thinking... not this shit again, I must plan my escape. 🤔

[@jslfcs7087]

That deep voice is absolutely brilliant.

[@gorgeousfreeman4836]

It's actually from his old owner he was an old man, its explained in one of Max's videos

[@belle369]

Don’t listen to what people say! They think they are experts on everything. Max seems like a happy and healthy bird and you’re talons great care of him!

[@rally84]

Amazing how he can just switch voices like that!

[@missquark_]

It's amazing how fast he can unscrew the bolts from his cage, he's in total control of his beak! I like when he rants and have that weird maniac synthetised voice.

[@sunnysmith6506]

Dan, you are wonderful as a bird parent...I do not question how you raise Max...and thank you for sharing your family with us.

[@jinxgirl5]

Max always sounds like he's summoning a demon when he's upset XD

[@JosephM101]

These arguments between you and Max are some of the funniest arguments I've ever seen in my life.

[@rot_studios]

It almost sounds like he says "I'm so sick of this" in his demonic voice haha What a great birb

[@outoftime7740]

Max sounds like an old man who can't stop talking about his life. I bet the old man was lonely and Max was the only one who would listen. So Max is now doing that to you, talking your head off, but only when he is nervous.

[@Hope-sf4ji]

Some people want to be negative about anything they can think of, because they have miserable lives. SMH! You seem to be doing great! Max has a better room than some kids do! You rescued Max and from every video I've seen, he's happy and loved!

[@Hodaris_Darlin]

Those people want everybody to be as miserable as they are. Misery loves company after all

[@jarrodevans6050]

Your raising that boy just fine. Great job dad!

[@themorningstar6272]

You're*

[@jarrodevans6050]

Got nothing better to do than spell check? Nice must be 400lbs and virgin. Go eat another fish sandwich and find something a little more constructive to do.

[@themorningstar6272]

@@jarrodevans6050 Oh, you're embarrassed huh? That's understandable. I wasn't even rude, and your response is highly inappropriate. How about you just say "OK, I'll think about that next time"? Otherwise it's so obvious you're embarrassed about not knowing fifth grade English. I wasn't the one who got nasty you were.

[@angel2000317]

Yes, birds really are just like toddlers. When my talking budgie, Brisbane (Brizzie), goes to the vet, I sit in the waiting room and play videos of him on my phone to take his mind off the stress. I feel like one of those mothers in the store whose little one is in the cart watching something on her phone. One time when I put my finger through the bars, he perched on it like he was holding my hand. He also has to have his favorite ball in the carrier. Then I feel awful when the vet approaches and Brizzie looks up hopefully and grabs the ball. He thinks the human is there to play! Poor baby.

[@bandfromtheband9445]

Awww. Sweet birdie.......

[@kimlersue]

This is Max's "please change your mind" chatter. When Max talks like this...we all know he's on his way to the vet. "Sorry Dan..but that carrier is missing a bolt! I can't get in there"!

[@flobrez2470]

I love his birdy logic he figures if he breaks the carrier by taking the screws out then Dan can’t use it. very smart lol!!

[@lauratomblin6251]

Your taking good care of Max's some people don't understand all the work it is take care of a bird or other animals too!

[@METALMAN4Wii]

4 years latter, still gets pissed.

[@benters3509]

Yes, I like the way he goes into his demon from hell voice.

[@finnphillosa1431]

He is the sweetest bratty bird I’ve ever seen. Makes me smile every time.

[@GGritsun]

Abusing? WHAT?? Dan, you are the best Birdie Daddy ever!! Max is such a lucky boy. It’s clear how much you love each other. Wonderful. ❤️❤️
