Don't everybody run out and get a cockatoo! They are an enormous lifetime commitment that requires stability and lots of love. Good job with Porscha, she's a clever sweety!
Absolutely! Cockatoos, like Porscha, are indeed a lifelong commitment and require dedicated care and attention. We're glad you appreciate her cleverness! Thanks for highlighting the importance of responsible pet ownership. 🐦💕
This man's got alot of empathy, and is very responsive. Vibrates sweetness.. Great friendship between him and Porscha. May they enjoy each others for many years to come.
I've had 3 Goffins cockatoos. They are a blast. I wish I could still have one but I'm disabled and it's too hard to clean up after larger parrots. The comic relief is uplifting. The bird love of it's owner can be greatly rewarding.
It sounds like you've had some wonderful experiences with Goffins cockatoos! They truly bring joy and comic relief into our lives. We understand that caring for larger parrots can be challenging, especially with disabilities. Your love for them is evident, and we appreciate you sharing your perspective. Sending warm wishes your way! 🕊️❤️
Porscha Is A Pretty Passionate Cockatoo!! She LOVES The Other Guy!! She Just LOVES His Personality!! That's How Relationships Are!! Porscha Is Just TOO STINKING CUTE!!❤😊
Porscha sure is a passionate and adorable cockatoo! It's heartwarming to see her bond with her favorite person. Thanks for appreciating her charm and personality! Your kind words brighten our day. 🐦❤️
We got a sun conure parrot, and he absolutely loves his daddy (he's more at home with him), however, when I put the alarm on my car, I can hear him screaming, when I come in the house it's all about mamma until he goes to bed. We adore this little parrot, and yes, it's a big commitment. They need your love and time, and if you CAN'T offer it, then don't commit. You will destroy their livelihood .
This is like having a teenager for your whole life. As an Australian we love our Parrots. This is an umbrella. Not one of ours. Four to five hours a day of social interaction can live to 100 years old. You will need to ensure someone may have to give her a home if something happens to either of you. America is full of Parrots who need homes. People did not realise. She is beautiful. They will attach themselves to I one person who is home more. 🕊️🇦🇺💗🏡
Thank you for sharing your insights! Cockatoos, like Porscha, require a lot of social interaction and commitment. It's crucial to consider their long lifespan and the responsibility involved in caring for them. We're grateful for your love for parrots and your reminder to provide them with forever homes. 🕊️💗
Like other birds cockatoos are very social animals and need at least another one to stay healthy and being well. It is animal abuse when you don't give an animal what it needs. For all these reasons in some counrties it isn't allowed to have only one. Rightfully so.
@@karins.902 Thank you for your comment. There is so much animal abuse in this world. It is so sad to see. I had two cockatoos. A white and a gray one.
Absolutely, you're spot on! Cockatoos thrive on social interaction and companionship, and it's essential to provide them with the company of another bird whenever possible. Ensuring they have what they need is crucial for their well-being, and regulations in some countries reflect this. Thanks for highlighting this important aspect of responsible pet care! 🐦💕
I love this story my friend has one as well named snowball she is sweet 99% of the time but she definitely gets upset with me sometimes if I don’t see her for awhile but let me tell when there quite a few people around that she likes she is very happy loves showing off and wants to be on everybody shoulder which at one point she wasn’t her self when his mom passed away unexpectedly she was at the house that he his mom her boyfriend and sister lived in before he moved out she didn’t like the boyfriend so she was sad for the longest time but when she finally got to be moved out she became her self again
They will really steal your heart (parrots). They're sooooo smart, it really makes you wonder why they can't be potty-trained like a toddler - they never mention how much "fun" it is to clean their cages (even if they are rarely in them - that's the potty.)
@@jillsy2815if they are properly trained and socialized. That requires a LOT of positive interaction with them since they're sort of like toddlers. They are prone to behavioral issues if you don't engage with them properly and need structure and constant stimulation. Left to their own devices they will do whatever they want, wherever they want, and even become extremely destructive and aggressive. I worked a summer job at a pet shop that specialized in birds and we were always discouraging people from buying parrots as they are such a huge responsibility and on average outlive their owners. One time we got a macaw that was probably around 60+ years old that had been free roaming an entire floor of the owners home for years for nail and beak trimming. That bird was feral and not used to a cage and was one of the most frightening creatures I've ever come across. For one thing they keep growing throughout their life so it was huge but what freaked me out was it's intelligence. It watched and studied us with those huge eyes full of pure rage. They can be amazing well trained and clean companions for the right person but generally I'd advise most people to not get a parrot. They are extremely difficult to care for if you don't know what you're doing.
So the place they go potty is in their cages that they are rarely in - sounds to me like that is the definition of potty trained! Just like my feline buddies go potty in their litter trays. 😊
Mine is potty trained, he flies over to his perch that’s on the outside of his cage and I have doggy pee pads underneath. And sometimes when I take him off his cage I tell him to go poo poo and 90% of the time he does.
I had a parakeet over in Germany and my wife was saying that the bird would have to stay an additional 3 weeks for quarantine so an opportunity arose for her to trade the bird for a dog and so my wife did trade but never the less in the long run it was still an additional 3 weeks quarantine and now I lost my bird and ever since that time I have missed her.
Yeh, they're cute but imagine you have a child and that child grows to the age of three and then stops. It remains three years old for the next 50 years or so, maybe longer, I don't remember the specific life span. You're seeing all the good stuff in these videos not the all the work and the stress involved in caring for a creature like this. Please consider this before getting one.
Thank you for sharing your perspective! Caring for a cockatoo, like any pet, comes with its challenges and responsibilities. We appreciate your reminder to consider the commitment involved in pet ownership. It's important to weigh the pros and cons before bringing any animal into our homes. 🐦
