      The bird lady is extremely manipulative with the bird. It's a boy mom dynamic. She didn't warn them that the bird might bite, and it bit their kid. So, they returned it two days later. It's no big deal. That happens all the time with rehoming pets, and two days isn't that long.
      So she gets on here and complains about the family, very unprofessionally. And the way she talks about the bird is so incestuous like "you're an outsider, just like me." And she's trying to make people feel bad for her too, when she's the problem. She's never going to let this bird go. The bird was probably sad it had to go back to her, because she's so possessive. It seems to enjoy the company of others.
      You can even tell there's just something off with her, like really bad vibes. I think she plays a victim to manipulate people.
      I don't know why this all came together for me so clear, but I think that bird needs to be moved on to a different facility.

      ​@@Poodle_Gun what you are seeing in this video is NORMAL parrot behaviour, particularly for a parrot that has been hand raised. Birds are wild animals that are hard wired to connect to a mate, to say the relationship between her & the parrot is mother/son is actually a compliment, as it shows she is being nurturing, while avoiding the mating connection.
      You are acting as if you think parrots are domesticated, this is completely wrong, they are not & they will NOT act like domesticated animals!
      I'm also very concerned that anyone could be looking to adopt a parrot without understanding that parrots bite when scared or startled or trying to communicate & failing & getting frustrated about it. I would actually say that is a failure on both sides, the rescue should NEVER have let a bird go to anyone who didn't have a fundamental understanding of parrot behaviour & that obviously includes the fact that parrots bite. I got bitten earlier today by one of my wild cockatoo "pets", they'd finished dinner but my favourite was still trying to manipulate me into giving him more, so I gave him some healthier but not so nice food & he bit me as his way of communicating that he was not happy with that. Not hard, but still a bite, it's just what parrots do! No-one should be adopting them without understanding & being willing to live with that!
      I don't know if you are the person that rejected this bird, or if you know the family that did or what, but whatever the case, the reality is that you have zero understanding of bird behaviour & have no place having anything to do with birds or commenting on how the professional rescue handles them. I mean seriously, you think " they returned it two days later. It's no big deal."?????? sorry but you should NOT have an exotic pet, EVER! Might not be a big deal for a dog, but it more certainly is for a parrot! Especially a rescue parrot. Please do NOT attempt to adopt a parrot ever again & please tell this family, if it is not you, the same thing! You are not suitable parrot parents!
      & btw I do not know this rescue, or anything about them, I just know parrots & can see VERY clearly & easily just from this video & your comment as to where the problem is in this situation

      What I gathered between the lines was that he bit a (probably) younger family member. It wasn't a fit. Really unprofessional to bad mouth them like that. Later on, she'd mentioned that "he'd never but anyone before going out for adoption." So, she failed to disclose that he might bite, and these people had kids. She's just an asshole.

    I am always dumbfounded at people who like parrots in general but don't bother to learn more about them. These intelligent animals suffer because they are highly sensitive and also because they live long lives. So it is heartbreaking when one of them loses its owner. Yes, they can be fun but having a cockatoo, for instance, takes a lot of patience and hard work.

      I agree & there's a "poodle" posting horrible things about this rescuer & defending the family, saying they returned it cause it bit their kid & the rescue hadn't told them parrots bite, but it's no big deal to return the bird, which blows my mind even more than the video, showing the extreme lack of knowledge these adopters apparently had before adopting a parrot.
      I do wonder a little if the rescue may have been partly at fault here, hard to know, but concerning they let the parrot go to what appears to be a completely inappropriate/uneducated person/family, who had no willingness to have a pet other than one with a dog like, "love everyone", personality. Hard to know though, they may have explained everything & adopters said all the right things to get the bird

      @@jennifer7648 It's an Aussie thing :) Aussie animals are I think part of where the Aussie attitude known in people comes from. They're totally ADHD, act first, think later & just deal with the consequences, a lot like the Aussie humans "she'll be right mate" attitude of not really caring about problems created, just dealing with them as they happen. As an Aussie, I actually wouldn't want any bird that's not an Aussie one, they're too cautious & chicken for my liking, I like the really outgoing, challenging ones, cause in their own way, they're actually easier :) No worries about introducing new toys & foods for example (compared to the more timid species anyway). I totally understand how they would be a really bad fit for some people though & how Macaws, greys etc would be a better fit for a lot of people

      Not just parrots, when someone gets any pet it is their responsibility to do all the prior research and make sure that the animal would be comfortable living with them. When you bring a pet home you're adding them to your family. Just give them the same attention as you give a newborn baby. It takes time to nurture a relationship with a new pet

    so much thanks for people who care for these intelligent wild animals that are not domesticated over thousands of years to be kept by humans. The amount of love and attention they need (especially being devoid of a flock) is immense, and then when the birds become psychologically traumatized it is even that much more effort needed to provide them humanely with what they need; find truly committed homes- it's a heavy responsibility.

    I have a flock of wild Cockies show up every morning and late afternoon. I know they are smart but the other day I was amazed by what I saw. The neighbors have a rotating ventilator on top of their house and it was spinning fairly fast. A big group landed on the roof and took turns spinning around on it as the others watched. Then another would have a turn and entertain the audience. They were really enjoying themselves. This went on for twenty minutes. They are natural clowns and know how to keep themselves and their group amused.

They were trying to put this bird with a family with kids, which is on them. This is a traumatized bird who hasn't been properly socialized in years.
      He was probably sad to go back to the weird bird lady who says things like "you're an outsider just like me!" The emotional incest and victimhood thing she does is just bizarre. The poor guy thought he had a chance of freedom from mama dearest. That bird's probably going to have a lot of mental health issues.
      I just kind of feel bad that there's a couple being defamed for trying to help a bird. They tried him for a couple of days, it wasn't a fit. That happens with pets all the time. So they make a documentary shaming the couple?

    This is one of the reasons i have come to believe that all animals except domestic dogs and cats should be free in their natural habitat. Birds are supposed to fly freely, in flocks with other birds, mate, raise babies, eat natural foods. My heart just aches for this wonderful but emotionally stiffled bird. I sincerely hope he can finally find the right family, one who has a complete understanding of what his needs are and can commit to his loving care for as long as he lives.

      I think it's ok to keep exotics, BUT with far more regulations & rules than are currently in place. I like the reptile keeping rules where I live, training course required first to obtain a licence & after getting a licence, may buy from a registered breeder or other licence holder & transfer of ownership must be lodged with licencing authority, who can conduct spot checks if they feel it's needed & all deaths must also be reported & if multiple, they WILL investigate, as happened to a neighbour of mine when 3 of his snakes died, he was required to pay for autopsies on them to find the cause of death & lost his licence after it, not sure exactly what was found/why, he was very coy about it.
      Anyway, rules like that I think would allow appropriate people to own, but stop impulse & untrained people owning. Also needs to be rules like in some countries now in Europe, requiring minimum cage sizes (that are very large) & at least 2 of the same species be kept together, not allowed to keep a parrot & numerous other types of animals on their own/without another of their own kind.
      Personally i have no interest in dogs or cats, they're breed to love humans, that doesn't interest me. I love it when I have to work to earn that love & know that when an animal does love me, it really means something. I've had rabbits, reptiles, rodents & birds, love them all, but cats & dogs are boring to me. Rats & rabbits btw, imo, make great pets for a lot of people, only an interest in them, rather than extreme training needed to manage them when they are kept inside a home, living with the humans (as opposed to in a cage outside, which I dont' think should be allowed)

      ​@@llSuperSnivyll You've never seen wild cockies have you lol. You can't give them what they would consider enough space in a house, even with free run of a mansion! You also can't give them the number of friends that they enjoy in their social groups.
      Many DO "consider it a safe haven", but only if they have been denied the chance to experience "normal" life
      Yes, captive birds can live happy lives, but it's nothing compared to the life they live in the wild when all their needs are being met.
      Yes, birds like this one are likely better off in captivity in many cases, cause they are being poached into extinction & live horrible, super stressful lives if wild because of this & loss of habitat, BUT if you had ever had the chance to watch a flock of sulphur crested cockatoos playing in suburban Australia, you would see just how dismal captive life really is, compared to what their life can be like when free - and they absolutely DO know what freedom is & care about it!
      I have a wildlife rescue background, rehabilitating injured birds & animals & returning them to their wild life & I also have 2 pet rescue lorikeets. My boy was hand raised, my girl, wild born, my girl has been in captivity since she was a baby, over a decade now, but she still longs for the skies. She can't have them, cause she was locked in such a small cage that her wing bones have fused & can't move, so when she tries to fly, she falls like a rock, but she still tries, especially in response to alarm calls by the wild birds. My boy came from the same home, also abused, he saw the chance to escape early on with me & took it, then discovered he really did not like the wild at all & wanted the safety of a cage & regular meals & refuses to even fly now, even though he can, because he was raised from hatch to fear the wild. Some captive born birds do enjoy being wild, but he was too abused & so never will, but that's not natural for them.
      What is natural is flying in flocks, swooping & tagging each other & screaming for fun. What is natural is screaming to their family over a km away & then flying off to meet once the family call back. What is natural is rain on a hot summers day & a big flock of them hanging upsidedown on the very tip of tree branches, so as to get the rain right up under their wings, in all those itchy spots, screaming for joy while doing it, jumping on each other just for kicks, they are clowns & love playing together in big groups.
      Yes, they can be happy in captivity, but it's silly to say they "don't really care about being "free"", of course they do! Try to catch a wild cockatoo with your bare hands & see how much they care about their freedom! And that applies even to people who have been feeding said cockatoo twice a day for it's entire life! They will still be shredded if they try to catch it & take it's freedom away from it!
      It is VERY rare for wildlife rescue birds to want to remain in captivity once their cage door is open & they are allowed to choose to return to living free, even long term care ones that have had all their needs met for months. They still give it all up for freedom

He came from a bad home, I started teaching him to fly & then had their cage outside & he saw the chance to escape & took it, flew to the top of a gumtree & sat there for 2 days calling for help, local wild lorikeets tried to welcome him into their family, but he rejected it, so they tried to help him get home, showing him how to fly from where he was down to the roof of my home & then from the roof, the small last fly down onto his cage, was pretty incredible how smart they were to do that really imo. He rejected all of that though, eventually eating his way down the possum path & getting low enough for me to take his cage to him & let him climb in & he has refused to fly since. He is FAR more interested in attention from me than from his girl bird partner, due to being hand raised by humans. I actually don't like the idea of hand raising anymore, cause of seeing what it's done to him! Fact is though, most pet birds today are hand raised & as such they want human companionship. I do think they should be kept with another of their species as well though, but also with humans that understand their needs & are willing to provide what they need to be happy. We need to reduce the number breed to make that possible

    This video almost has me crying. If you get any bird really, because I had a dove that lived right around 20 years, you have to take them into consideration for when you die. He’s so blessed to be with you. Cockatoos & conures are especially fun & smart birds if you put in the time.

    Well, you really hit my trigger - I see red when I think of neglected parrots. Don't people realize how long they live? Don't they make arrangements when, for whatever reason, they can't take proper care of them or provide the kind of affection and interactions they need? So many, like the one I rescued, are found weeks later, near death and featherless, when their owners die alone or become disabled while living alone. Rehabilitating Emmy was one of the most dramatically rewarding accidents that ever befell me and I refused to give her to anyone who had never had a parrot or who was, or could easily become, alone. End of rant - sending love to this wonderful lady who really gets it and to all other responsible bird lovers

    Having and a cockie myself they are the most affectionate, fun, loving, sweet animals. They choose their people and they are extremely loyal. This bird would have been so lost without its chosen humans and will be confused if it has to be shipped out to another temporary home. It makes me so mad that people have no idea about the animals needs before they adopt. This is not a breed of bird for a first time parrot owner. They are a lifetime commitment.
