Cockatoo lost his home. A kind family has given him another chance. 

I hope there is more coverage since we never know what may be.

When my pop died my nan had to be put in aged care at the same time as she had dementia and unfortunately our cockatoo that we had since I was born had to go live with family friends (I would have loved to take him but I couldn't have pets where I live and my parents wouldn't take him either) and he died shortly after we believe between the stress of the move and the heartbreak of losing his original family is what made him pass away. Cockatoos really bond to their first family so having to go to a new family is heartbreaking for them but I'm glad the cockatoo in the geobeasts video adapted well to his new family and knows he is loved.

@@nrgbunni. That's sad. I had trouble finding a place for my 4 pets when my place once sold, but I didn't give them up. I spent a several thousand in motel stays. I could never just leave my pets behind. There is a price for that abandoning and it isn't worth it.

​@@nrgbunni. oh I'm sorry to hear that 😢

Yes

Yes, and the former caregiver must've also been good to Zeus seeing as how he's such a friendly, happy cockatoo.

I hope the daughter WANTS him when her parents pass. They are a LOT of constant work.

@@thatswhatisaidCA I thought the same thing. She's a bit young to know yet.

Hello there, how're you doing??

Yes, they are very sensitive creatures. Very intelligent, devoted, loyal, loving, and protective of their family. Just as great as a watch dog in my opinion. My Senegal girl is a bundle of energy, while my boy is a perch potato...lol!

Parrots are very sensitive to people's emotions.

Was thinking the same thing.

Well, parrots are very social even in the wild. They evolved while imitating and observing each other. So it wouldn’t be hard for an intelligent animal like this to apply that to other species.

my pet pigeon is gentle with old people and especially children. I've seen horses the same way. animals understand.

I noticed that. He was really calm with her. I think they were both enjoying the cuddle

Let alone that they left a will for the yougest child take care of Zeus after they passed away

Love Grandma's polish 💅

You are so right, many in get left isolated and alone in their cages, there are very hard work, beautiful but lots of work, if looked after properly.

I rescued animals and I had 3 little birds at a point. Thankfully they were rehomed very fast. They're incredible animals and incredibly smart. They're a lot harder to care for since it requires just such a emotional and loving connect. Needless to say the 5 opossums I had were entirely easier to care for than the birds lol. They're a whole creature in their own and it definitely requires special people to care and home them

toddler seems a great description for them. lol. What their minds must be like !!

Amen to that 😊

And they hit the jackpot with Zeus - such a loving, animated and funny boy. 💕

awesome family and awesome birdie

I’m happy to see Zeus didn’t give up after losing his first owner, sometimes they literally die of a broken heart

He chose them.

Best best pet ive ever hsd and ive jax a few.affectionate intelligent comical mischevio

Yes. he's a happy, well adjusted boy! 💗

Always felt that IF I adopted someones pet and it was loved, I'd make sure they could visit should they want to. Not all rehoming is irresponsible.

@@KindCountsDeb3773 I wish I knew someone like you. My 32-year-old parrot died last month, whom I’ve had since I was 16 years old and he was only four months old when I got him. I became disabled from a disastrous back surgery around 20 years ago, and in the last few years my disability has worsened so it’s been much more difficult to take as good of care of him as I used to. We were so incredibly bonded and he was either scared of or hated _EVERYBODY_ else in my life except for me, with the exception of one college roommate for a little period of time. I knew that he was getting older and everything and he very well could have lived out his lifespan (he showed many signs of age, such as white spots on his eyes, dry “old man“ feet and such), but I wasn’t able to give him his normal diet for the last 3 years and it broke my heart knowing that he should be getting better food than I was able to give him. I just can’t imagine not being able to see him ever again if I were to have rehomed him when things start getting really difficult with my health. I just love your comment so much because I wish there was a way for people in situations like mine to find a loving home for their most precious, beloved friend and still be able to see them every now and again to make sure that they are happy and healthy.

@@anti-ethniccleansing465 No te culpes, las mascotitas sufren mucho cuando van a otros lugares, no hay como su familia nativa, sin importar las carencias, el cariño es primero.

@@bittycavmart4874 I’m not sure why you are writing me in a language that isn’t English. I can’t read what you wrote.

Right!? This should be a training video & required watching before someone can take home a being such as this. ❤

and he's lapping it up ! Good to know he is definitely playful, but has his cuddle side !

@@KindCountsDeb3773cockatoos are the love sponges of the Parrot family.

So true! Birds are very underestimated by people. They are just as important as dogs or cats. And are just as loyal, devoted, intelligent, and loving.

As intelligent as a 4 year old human. They are very smart. Often compared to dolphins 🐬 and primates. Ever heard of Alex the African grey Parrot and Dr. Iren Pepperberg. Cockatoos like to solve complex puzzles 🧩 and open locks 🔒 their minds and brains need constant enrichment and stimulation.

My friend lost his 20yo budgie last year. He could no longer fly, but was a happy, well adjusted little guy. Love your budgie up, and get an avian vet checkup once a year if you can ❤

I know the feeling. I have two Senegal parrots that are my feathered children. I love them so much my heart hurts if something ever happened to them. I'm dreading the day that they pass on. Right now I just try to stay in the present moment and love on them as much as possible. They are my world!

There is something different about parrots. I've had pet dogs and cats, but having a parrot is different. They get into your soul.

My cockatiel is 9 and I feel the same! I don’t know a life without him! It will be more than just an empty cage but an empty space in my heart ❤️😢 but he’s amazing and I hope our birds live a long happy life!!

yes but there's huge numbers of these beautiful birds in rescues everywhere, just dreaming of finding a loving forever home & the majority, sadly, never will, cause there's just too many birds breed for people who will throw them away when they get bored of them or whatever. I have 2 rescues & one of mine in particular breaks my heart, appears to have been hand raised, but then something happened, maybe he bit a little or something? Anyway, he was locked in a small cage permanently after that, the only contact he got with another living being, being to bite the gloved hand that changed his food & water. By the time he came to live with me, no-one even knew his name/if he even had one, he was just this aggressive bird everyone hated. Took months of working with him before I could even coax him to put his head out of his cage, but even before that, it was obvious he wanted to be noticed & given attention. He is now the sweetest thing, loves nothing more than to be told "good girl", he just lights up when given praise, even better than food rewards to him, he just so desperately wants to be loved, but for at least a decade, he was denied that! His aggression btw, appears to have been mostly because he had been acquired to his last home to be company for another bird, but kept in a separate cage to her & she would be screamed at & abused & hurt & so he was trying to protect her/take revenge on those hurting her. He couldn't get to her to protect her, could only bite those he had seen earlier hurting her, when they put their hand into his cage to do his food. That's how it seems anyway, cause anytime I say her name & "no" (which I do when she plucks herself) he charges at me trying to bite me for it. I have to reassure him that it's ok, that I'm not going to hurt either of them & he can relax, which he largely does now, cause they're in the same cage now, so he feels much more confident that he can keep her safe & protect her. Again, he's just the sweetest personalty, beautiful bird, yet he was just thrown away & left to rot, cause no-one bothered to take the time to research his needs & pay attention to what he was trying to communicate with them & how sweet he really is. Zeus is a very lucky bird!

​@@mehere8038 I'm glad they have you now, as well as each other. Lots of love and enrichment will help with the plucking. Best of luck with your babies ❤

@@michelehemlokhexwhite4310 thanks :) & I'm glad I took them in too. They're lots of work, but I hate to think where they were destined to end up without me, given the family of the deceased owner were intending on just dumping the 2 of them, in their separate little cages, outside a local dog & cat pet store before it opened in the morning on their way out of the state :' They do have LOTS of enrichment & love, but being treated as objects for so long, it's SO hard to even teach them to play or use anything for fun. Hoping the hormone implant we just got might help with the plucking, too early to see yet. I saw a new avian vet for that btw & same response to my other one as previous vet had, but even moreso, vet fell in love with him, commenting on how absolutely adorable his personality is & how there's something so special about him. Yup, I agree, but how does a bird like that, end up being effectively just thrown away, unloved 😢

I have a neighbor that has an African Grey parrot, and it infuriated me to learn that he has no plans whatsoever for his parrot when he dies, and this guy is in his 60s. He and I are merely acquaintances, and he knows that I have had a parrot for 30 years that just passed away last month (I had a Pionus, which lived out his lifespan), and he’s telling me that whoever inherits his house will get his bird and he was essentially propositioning me to take on his parrot and his house when he dies. It was so fucking nuts! It is so batshit crazy when parrot owners don’t plan for their bird’s futures if the birds outlive them when they know full well that they live very long lives. And now he’s trying to be closer friends with me because of this, when I simply don’t like him very much.
