Cockatoo Forms a Special Connection with Man After Being Left Behind | Cuddle Friends

Take care that that the primaries do not grow out. One loud car horn or a n unexpected door slam outside and you are in real trouble. Particularly if there is any wind. You can get harnesses but persuading a bird set in its ways to accept one may be impossible.

[@susanryan2802]

Cockatoos and parrots are Gregarious and need company. This bird is lucky to have a loving home. His future needs to be considered because they can live a very long time. Perhaps his first owner got to frail to care for her himself.

[@anggiaanggia7618]

Excuse me I need further informartion bout "they don't want her anymore" after 14 years????

I adopted an older bird. His owner died, & nobody wanted him, because he was old & cranky. He brought a lot of joy to my life, & I'm glad that he was able to finish out his life in a home he felt comfortable in. RIP Joey ♾❤🕊

[@CuddleBuddiesChannel]

Thank you for adopting him 💜 RIP Joey 💜💚

May have been cranky losing his best friend and none knew how the man made him happy and relaxed. You gave that comfort not knowing what he was missing.

For starters, she has all her feathers intact and does not pluck herself bold - thats a very good sign she is a happy bird! And then you see this beautifully calm family, they love her and she loves them back!!!! Thank you for sharing, this us totally awesome, you made my day ❤️ 😊 ♥️

Very very special

Nothing is more rewarding than an animal loving you because you know that their love is genuine and pure.

[@allisonjames2923]

I used to get attacked mercilessly by magpies when I was young so I struggled to like birds much. Until I saw a magpie obviously heartbroken over its mate who had been hit by a car. They were so lost, nudging their buddy & staying close. Now I watch loads of chirpy videos & am amazed at what special, funny & loving creatures they are

[@allisonjames2923]

So glad she found new people to love who adore her in return. I can’t imagine what made her previous human give her up, but must be a bigger reason than just getting tired of her 😢 Hope they’re ok too.

[@Ran-dom1]

nah you gotta consider what a person goes through in life, what if they had to move out of state different country, family, money. Theres always others reasons then not loving. There was no story about the bird being in bad shape parrots tear out feathers when living a crappy life. Seems like he or she was in good shape. You never know, you really never know without the backstory.

[@craigharrison4070]

Yes !

[@ItsJustLisa]

Popeye is a very lucky girl. Her new parents love her for who she is and she has a new “mate” who clearly lets her love on him. The part where he was still in bed and she was snuggled with him under the covers was precious.

What a lucky bird. She is so loved and thriving. It seems sad that his previous owner gave her up, but she now has a wonderful life. She doesn't look like a bird that wasn't cared for because she doesn't have the signs of a stressed bird that has plucked out a lot of feathers. Overall your bird looks like she has landed in a great place and you both have added to each other's lives.

@@daniellewatson8352 nope. rubbish to you. birds do NOT belong in cages. don't want to hear i don't know what i'm talking about either. as i had parrots for 24 years including an Umbrella & Molluccan cockatoo. and also 10 years volunteering at 2 parrot rescues including one of the largest in the US. but any improvement in a parrots life is a plus.

[@warrax111]

​@@RKZX2 I had a bird (cockatiel) from childhood, and I agree with you. After seeing him pass away, I would not buy another bird into the cage, nor buy it to children. But I have same opinion about dogs. The only pets are respect, the people should have, are fishes and plants. It's too desperate, to steal animals from nature, because you need a little hug, because your life is sad. We do not have right to steal animals and ensnare them in our ill relationship fall. They get cancer and degenerative disease from it, that they don't have in nature. Also, by buying a bird, you are supporting bad bussiness, that steals them from nature, taking their freedoms.
