Spicy Parrot Falls In Love With This Baby At First Sight | Cuddle Buddies

[@NicklePickle426]

Feather had spent 15 years alone in a cage in that basement, with no toys, stimuli, or other birds. She was rescued by this family at age 52 and lived 3 1/2 beautiful years with them. RIP Beautiful Feather 🙏🙏🙏

[@chrisgreek4285]

Not only did you give Feather a proper life before she ‘flew the coop’, you taught Sofia how to be a loving human to animals. She may only recollect Feather from photos and stories when she herself is an adult, but the love, compassion, joy, empathy, and trust that they shared will positively guide her decisions and actions for the rest of her days. Well done, Mum and Dad❣️❣️

Sadly being kept in a basement likely didn't help poor Feather. They are generally, dank, musty places with little to no daylight. So glad he was put in touch with this loving woman and her sweet little girl. It would seem that his last 3 years were his best 3 years. RIP gorgeous Feather.

[@SnarkyMcSnarkles]

@@GODDESS1966 My takeaway is that you have an overactive imagination. Just because YOU have a dank musty uninhabitable basement doesnt mean everyone else does. And its sure easy to call someone elses treatment neglectful but i didnt hear in what way...... From the look of the bird it couldnt have lived THAT bad of a life to be in that good of a shape and such a well behaved and social bird.

How sad. I was uoping for a happily forever after ending. Thank you for loving Feather.

[@Hellofa6ird]

It was. She loved and was loved for the rest of her life.

[@rosestar8293]

I was hoping the feather would live a long long time with this little girl to take care of her after her mother could no longer do it. It makes me so upset that evil humans take the lives away from innocent animals and torture them like that because that was pure torture I can't even imagine solitary confinement for an innocent being like this so full of love. I am very grateful for these people for loving her and giving her a good loving home where she wasn't in a cage but I have such a hard time watching things like this because now I'm crying and I'm so sad😢

[@janice369]

Well I sure wasn't expecting to read she died😭 How sad. She only got 3 years of love. Bastard humans locking her in a freaking damp, dark, musty basement. Not enough suffering could come to them. At least she got 3 years of love n happiness. RIP Sweet girl. 🙏💔🙏

[@0secure12]

I'm with you Janice. You said exactly what I wanted to say. I was so sad at the end that she passed away. I don't know why so many humans mistreat beautiful animals. @@janice369

[@christinehutchins123]

I wouldn't be sad. Feather left the past behind and lived in the moment. People should rehome the pets they no longer are willing or able to care for,not lock them away. Please if anyone has a pet they are neglecting, please don't leave them to wither and die. Find a home where they will be loved or find someone who can help you do that. Pets are a commitment.

Sophie got to meet her angel, Feather.

[@rtos]

The baby is also special; she seems to instinctively understand how to interact with the parrot..

[@tammyrawdon3587]

🤔Naw, babies instinctively grab & pull everything... her parent(s) taught her how to behave properly with Feather, as they should 👍😺👍

[@Ouralbleu1]

This video was so great, so heartwarming. And then BAM ... "in loving memory of Feather" ???????? It would be nice to the people who watched this video and felt so touched to be given just a tiny explation of what happened to Feather. Watching the video, I was telling myself "oh it's great, these birds live a very long time, that little girl will not suffer the pain of loosing it like it could be with dogs that don't live very long. I was imagining that little girl in the future - at 20 years, still having that wonderfull bird and then ... BAM ! Could we have a minimum information on what happened ? I hope your little girl has gone through that loss without too much pain.

[@januarymelody8511]

Thought the same thing. I was so glad she would have Sophie for life since they live so long. I wonder why Feather passed. 😢

[@SE-ji2tj]

I thought the exact same thing. That Sophia would be 40 years old someday and would still have Feather. An explanation would have nice. 😢

[@EMR1210]

I was thinking the same exact things!

[@kelperdude]

Excellent comment.

[@EricS-uf9mv]

Most likely some type of illness. Yes these birds are very long lived. 60-70yrs... many outlive their owners, esp if the owner was an adult at the time of acquisition. But birds, as with many "wild" species that haven't undergone decades of selective breeding by humans, are very good at hiding outward signs of serious illness. It's a survival mechanism to help avoid being targeted by predators. As a result, seriously ill birds often aren't taken to a vet until it's way too late.

[@judithdasta3969]

Feathers was 52 when she was rescued. She had a long life. So glad the last 3 years were happy ones. Such a sweet bird!

[@BebeDaull]

I'd like to think she had some good years in the other 50 years, too. Maybe a first owner who adored her before they passed and someone inherited her.

[@kathleenshabaan3806]

Oh what a great video of feathers how sad he was abandon in that basement for years in the cage with no toys 😢 he was very lucky you rescued him it's a wonder he did not pluck all his feathers out from boredom how emotional how you told the story about him and how he fitted in to your family and the love he gave to your very young children 😢 feather was so kind and he was a happy special bird and you put in so much training and you will remember him a life time rip feathers ❤ I can't stop watching this incredible video

Such a beautiful story & bond Feather and Sophia had! So glad that for the last 3 or so years of her life, Feather got to experience what a truely loving, caring and welcoming family is! Going from a neglected bird in someone's basement to Sophia's best friend, baby sitter & guardian I'm sure filled a void in her heart that she needed, wanted & definitely deserved! This one will for sure stick with me & makes you realize how kindness, a little love & compassion Is what all animals & humans alike really need, want & deserve as part of their lives both to receive and give to others !
