The Vet Visit October 2015

[@sophiataylor7035]

I feel like Max has 3 different personalities: "Hiiiiiiiiiiiii," unrelenting screaming, and ominous grumbling

[@VioletSkye19]

You forgot ‘demonic entity that lives in dark cupboards’ 😉

And Jack Nicholson- like crazy laughter 😂😂

Flapping I mean

Max was a child who wished to a genie to be turned into a parrot so he would not have to go to the dentist ever again. Little did he know, parrots have to go to the vet. He's really pissed about it.

[@debracarlson5511]

When you watch Max now, five years later, he has learned a lot of emotional control from his caretaker's dedicated compassion.

[@frogpalpeeper4249]

I heard Max say "I'm not going to the vet!" Bird yells at his human and the KZbin-iverse falls in love. Thanks for this stuff. It's so very needed now.

[@albert7721]

your patience and parenting is admirable and amazing,max is SOOOO adorablee,Like a child he's hilarious!!😍😆

[@annehaight9963]

Just so people understand, this is not a fear response. It's just a cockatoo being petulant and throwing a tantrum like they are known to do. Max is not afraid; he's just being a brat.

[@drwoo6090]

He’s not being a brat...he’s being a 2yr old. Parrots are 2yrs old all their life!

[@vickyabramowitz4919]

Cockatoos are high strung birds that need lots of attention and patience from their humans. That's why they are the most frequent species to wind up in a parrot shelter/rescue. That's because their humans grew tired of their neediness and no longer wanted to devote the time and effort it takes to keep them in captivity. One reason I like watching Max's channel is because it doesn't try to hide the difficulties that go along with taking care of this particular breed. On Max's channel, Dan shows the good, the bad and the ugly aspects of Cockatoo caretaking. It's not for the faint of heart. It's not even for the average person. It takes a devoted person to keep them in good physical and mental health.

[@missycitty9478]

It sounds like he's mumbling incantations under the table. Lol

[@christinafrazier23]

Oh max you are such a baby. I am sure your daddy gives you plenty of love and treats when you get back from the vet. Dan props to you for being so great with him. I use to work for a bird sanctuary/rescue and so many bird parent can't handle or refused to give the birds they have the proper attention they need. Keep up the loving and care you give to max.

[@janobyrne2424]

I've kept birds for over twenty years and have never seen one that makes a bigger fuss about getting into a carrier than Max! Wow you have your hands full well and truly with Max Dan. Lol. On a serious note I'm glad the vet has given Max a clean bill of health, it's reassuring after his last health scare.

[@bestsistaever]

Oh no, I hope he’s ok! Sorry you had a health scare. ❤️

[@kimrube1]

Lmao! When Max was up on the table throwing his fit...it sure sounds like he's yelling, " HOW MANY TIMES do I have to TELL YOU?!!!! I am NOT going to the G**DAMN VET!!!!"..." AND YOU CAN'T MAKE ME!!!"....Lmao, I almost fell off my chair laughing so hard. You have a wonderful bird. Max is a character! 😄👌

[@RockBottomRiser21]

When he's mumbling in the dark he's like "A pox on all your vet visits!"

[@lassmoss4393]

Yeah but, wishing a pox on something is -wishing a disease on it, so than everybody and maybe even Max would need a "Vet".... (...I know😉😄Trivial Pursuit)

[@randistrit1240]

I thought he said "I'm gonna frickin murder someone". I guess the vet brings out the more irrational side of him

After watching dozens of vids with Max, I'm finally understanding him a little

[@Trillidotia]

At 3:37, it sounds like he said "I'm sick of you." I love his curmudgeonly complaining. I know he's ticked off and upset, but he's such a funny character.

[@olgamaria2602]

Omg, if this is at home, I would give anything to see a video of the vet office visit. PLEASEEEEEE!!!??????

[@crystalmiller4022]

I never thought Max would ever out do the first video of the vet visit, where he is at the top of the stairs under the shelf. But now, I think he has topped that one. This video was definitely worth waiting for. LOL Max is such a little stinker.

[@TheGuitarplayer112]

+crystal miller my thoughts exactly I always love it whenever max sees his carrier he has to turn the house into a mad max reboot and vet videos like this are and always will be worth the wait I think Dan spoiled max too much with his freedom and I hope that he'll teach max somehow to get used to his carrier

[@ecologist_to_be]

+TheGuitarplayer112 I think they are too clever so even getting him used to carrier in house he'll remember any horrors that may happen at vet or in car ride all things that are out of control really as vet visits can't always be fun

[@mandy8275]

Max had some very strong words for you there at the end. Lol

[@graciep.6984]

That boy is nothing if not emphatic! There's not much that will get a full-on laugh out of me these days, but Max has had me in tears at times, and when Dan joins the party (they are such a perfect double act!) all hope is lost and I know I'm going to be annoying my neighbors for a while. It's impossible to stay quiet when they really get going. I have to be really careful about which videos I watch if it's getting late.

[@CowmanII]

Why and how does he do the creepy satan bird voice? It's hilariously creepy.

[@ghostcityshelton9378]

The man that first had Max used a CB raideo alot & this is what Max remembers. He is very intelligent. The next man that had Max just wasn't into all the care that has to be done and when Dan watched Max for awhile they really bonded. Then back with the man again Max wasn't doing well at all cause he really loved Dan. The guy didn't want Max but made Dan probably paid a pretty penney to save Max. Dan read up on how to take good care of a Cockatoo and he's been doing an outstanding job of it ever since. You can see it in Max's eyes the love he has for Daddy Dan & you can see how much Dan loves Maxwell baby bird. We love them as well. We are lucky to get to spend time watching that sweet bird & the funny things he does.

[@craftywoman6399]

I imagine you have to wake up quite early on Vet days! I know Max is distressed which is really unfortunate but at the same I can't help but belly laugh at his indignation!

"But you do need to go." "But I don't WANT go in there!" LOL I swear he kept saying, "I want to play! I want to play today!" LOL And at one point under the table it sounded like he said, "I don't like the sound of your voice." LMAO And when he laughed and thunked his head down... and later laughing when he thought he finally won. OMFG. He's so funny!

[@dianarodriguez9719]

judging from Maxwell's sad past he has PTSD. however, because of Dan's unfathomable love and devotion he's getting so much better.

[@acronolozki]

I'm sorry, but could you tell me about his past? I'm kinda new here...

[@megasocky]

I think the original owner made dan watch it since he had to go away from his home for 6 months, but Max grew attached to dan, so when he gave him back to the original owner, max began to freak out (which caused the hitting the cage thing)

[@Cissy2cute]

Max's original owner was an elderly man who had passed away. Someone Dan knew bought Max off of Craigslist. The guy went off on a construction job for 3 months, and had Dan take care of Max. During that time Max bonded with Dan. When Dan gave Max back to his actual owner, Max would scream all day. It got so bad Dan had to visit Max every day to calm him down. Eventually, it became obvious that Max had bonded to Dan and would not accept being owned by anyone else, so Dan bought him and the rest is history. A happy ending for Max and a lifelong friend for Dan.

[@acronolozki]

Oh, thanks guys! This is so cute

[@Cissy2cute]

I used to have a cockatoo just like Mr. Max. his name was Ziggy and he had been abused. He was given away and given back several times. The home I got him from had him in a dark basement. We would spend about an hour making elaborate Lego towers just to have him tear it apart in 5 minutes. I miss him so much and seeing Max is very bittersweet.

This is adorable! And basically like raising a toddler quite honestly. 😝 My advice would be to maybe either take him to the vet more frequently so he doesn't necessarily immediately associate it with a bad thing, or give him more carrier time. He might spit in your coffee for it later, but tell him you're going to Disneyland!

[@blakestilltippin]

He's only like that at home when he leaves the vet he willingly walks into the carrier I've seen Dan say this lol and judging by the pics at the vet in one of his vids id say once he gets there he's calm again (pics of the vet holding him in a towel)

[@PinkeeLee]

i feel so sorry for little max and his blood pressure. he has incredible trust in you to let you know how he feels without any fears. and you treat him with such respect and kindness. you have such a soothing voice for him. he is so sad looking in back of the table with his head down. and then he starts his maniacal laugh. you are so patient and unhurried with him. just incredible bird behavior videos. i hope that people who are tempted to get their own little max will see what kind of time investment is required of a really great owner.
