Woman Got A Mute Bird, Now He Won't "Zip It" | Cuddle Buddies

[@dad4ever-c90]

I think it was a cockatiel that started the RUMOR that they were much easier to care for than dogs! Afterall, dogs cannot fit into the smallest of places, let alone fly. No part of your home is truly out of the reach of Neil.

[@bigneto95]

Having 8 at home, its hard to disagree 😅

[@eeveeofalltrades4780]

Still less expensive than dogs, which require like 180 dollars in medicines every few months

[@ArmyForTheAnimals]

@@eeveeofalltrades4780Only less expensive if they don't get sick/need vet care. My Goffin's cockatoo ended up being egg bound. It cost $3400 to keep her overnight at the ER and remove the egg. That didn't include the regular vet visit the week before when she was bleeding out her bum. She ended up passing away within 4 days after her surgery. Also, my friend at the parrot rescue we volunteer for has a conure that cost a couple of thousand to figure out why her leg was hurting. When birds need vet care, it is not cheap!

[@annainspain5176]

Or that strong beak! Not sure she should let him eat crisps though.

[@CooperGal24]

We had cockatiels in my family, and they are HELLIONS! At the last small apartment we’ve lived in, they got their beaks on almost anything and everything: wallpaper, dad’s box of checks, the corner of bird grit, the blinds, a VHS case (I borrowed a friend’s tape to watch at home, neither of us knew he’d do that!), one even tried to chew through one of the PlayStation controller cables! Still worked but it’s an annoyance that he did it! But we still loved our cockatiels in the end.😂

[@Nana-pw6ix]

😂 be ready for a long journey! My beloved cockatiel lived to 32 years old. They're so funny and clever. Enjoy!

[@cindyaraya7317]

They truly are! I had one for over twenty years, he died last year, and I was devastated, he too was my world, along with my Guinea Pig (Female) Peaches. I only have Peaches, but they leave little paw, or as I like to call it, little feetsies, on your heart when they are gone.

one thing about birds- they need the attention of a 2 year old human child

@@shari5982 I believe that you can train them to use a place to potty train them, like fly to a perch, then return to you again, it's been done by other people 😀

This entire video reminds me of my relationship with my cockatiel, Chloe. She's a lot to handle, loves being the center of attention, & can be a stubborn thing. I've had birds throughout my life, & the bond I have with Chloe is very special.

[@CuddleBuddiesChannel]

[@LiliWhyte]

If you haven't already, make sure you do your homework. They need LOTS of positive attention, stimulation/play, etc in order to bond to a their human caretaker. You will need to have lots of time, over a period of years, to dedicate to your bird. Good Luck 👍

Neil reminds me of my Buddy. He too was mischievous like living with a toddler. Yes accurate description. It is important to train them to come to your finger. Buddy would get into the smallest openings. At first I was anxious. I didn’t want him to get hurt. After a while I realized that Buddy is going to be Buddy. He always came to me. I miss how he would land on my shoulder. He played with either my hair or my earrings or both.

It sounds like Buddy was a real character!🐦❤️✨

[@ridingwilding760]

If you care for a bird correctly they are far more involved. They really need someone in a way that dogs don’t. Don’t get me wrong my dogs need attention and connection but birds are on entirely different level. And when you get one of the birds that live a really long life. Oh my!!

[@CuddleBuddiesChannel]

You’re absolutely right! Birds form deep bonds and require a lot of attention and care. Their long lifespans make those connections even more meaningful. Thank you for sharing your insight! 🐦❤️✨

[@smdrn66]

He's absolutely adorable! He's so much like my Quaker Parrot. I drink my coffee from a travel mug because one of my dogs used to drink from my mug, but he tries to drink from any open cup I have. I'll ask him if he wants a "nana" and he'll bob his head yes, then he'll fly across the room to my head, rappel headfirst down the side using my hair to get to my shoulder. Then I have to hold the peeled banana towards him as I walk back to the chair so he can start eating it. It's his favorite along with sugar snap peas.

We once had a cockatiel that was given to us by a friend. He had the run of the house just like this little fellow, and he absolutely loved my wife and the kids. However, he was very protective toward them, and was very jealous of anyone else that got close to them. He disliked me to the point that he would hide in the pantry, or behind the fridge, and fly out to attack me if I went near the kids, or embraced my wife. At first it was funny, but his behaviour became so bad we had to find another home for him. Luckily the old gentleman next door, whose wife had recently passed, accommodated him, and they became inseparable partners. We did get another bird from a breeder, and this little parrot was ours for a good number of years until he passed away.

It sounds like you had quite the adventure with your cockatiel! Their personalities can be so unique and strong. It’s wonderful to hear that he found a loving home with your neighbor. Thank you for sharing your story! 🐦❤️

Absolutely wonderful and informative…… if you take another being away from its flock, herd, pack or shoal you become that eg their family and you have to open emotionally and time wise to them… anything else is emotional abuse so dont get animals/beings ‘on a whim’!? If you do you are being sooo selfish and cruel………..
