To anyone who doesn't know, No this bird is not scared or stressed. Cockatoos are known for going crazy every once in a while no matter how well they are taken care of it's just a part of who they are.
its my opinion he likes the sound of his voice echoing in the kitchen off of the hard objects like the front of the oven and dishwasher. my birds reflect their voices and talk to objects that reflect sound. birds are very complex and intelligent people really don't give them enough credit. hes playing and enjoying himself.
A friend of mine has one and he said it's like taking care of a two year old on a sugar high with with split personalities. That's what convinced me to get a macaw.
@@Lardo137 seriously. When I got my Quaker parrot, I was at first looking for a macaw but the ones at the store were very aggressive. Then the shopkeeper told me that macaws were capable of snapping a broomstick in half, no problem (and to imagine what they'd do to your arm) and that a cockatoo could snap your finger in 3 places, if it so desired... Yeah, safe to say why I ended up getting my precious little Quaker 🥰
Some people have no idea how apt and exact the phrase "Crazy as a cockatoo" is and up until I started watching cockatoo videos a few months ago, I didn't either but definitely do now 😂 They're so alive and expressive! I watch Buster and also Penny, they're super awesome cockatoos, just like this one! 🤗
My neighbor has this same bird and he is definitely a character. He screams like a person when he's not getting attention and he cuts up when people say around and he has a major pimp walk 🤣🤣
So funny when he sees his reflection, and skirts on by...like he doesn't even want to watch his own temper tantrum! Then he's tries to duck under the cabinet...Nope, too big for that...Turns around to take off...Crap... Nowhere to run... Nowhere to hide!😳 😂😆😁
My neighbour and friend has a white cockatoo called Charlotte. He would place her out side of our row of flats so she could soak in the sun (and scream the neighbourhood's concrete clean of verdant growth with her song). She was very loud and delighted in ambushing unsuspecting neighbours to shriek them out. I got her back one day when she was riding her owner's shoulder. She didn't know I was there but I gave her some of her bruited medicine in the form of shrieking her her name. From then on she must have counted me as a fellow member of her flock because she would say my name when she saw me, or when she wanted me. What pissed my friend off was she never would say HIS name. These amazing birds live for over a cenrury I am told. Charlotte moved away and I never saw her for over twenty five years. What was really cool when we finally caught up after this huge interim was that when she first glimpsed me after I ran into my friend and we returned to his home, she still knew my name and said it to me after all of those years with no prompting. They are remarkable creatures.
The bird got his feathers clipped that's what I don't like when owners do this it limits the birds freedom, would you like to have your arms removed???
This video better conveys the reality of their behavior better than the cutesy ones of sing-alongs and playtime. They are LOUD, flamboyant, need near constant attention, and space to roam & explore. They also bond intensely to their owners (or whoever in the household they feel closest to) and can get miserably jealous. They have the intelligence & personality of human toddlers and stay that way for life, which in good health & captivity, can last for up to 80 years. THINK LONG AND HARD before adopting one. They say you should take at least 1 year to make the decision. Many of these poor birds end up abused & abandoned by owners who don't prepare properly for this enormous commitment.
I keep seeing all these comments like "THAT BIRD IS SCARED OF YOUR CAMERA" or "THAT BIRD IS BEING ABUSED"... blah blah blah. This cockatoo is simply pissed off at the other bird that he thinks is in the room. He came to get his owner to show him the reflection of him on the oven. He even tried to look behind the oven door to see where the other bird came from . Cockatoos act like this all the time. My Cocky goes crazy everytime he can see the neighbours dogs, and the reason for that is that he is very protective of his territory. This bird to going crazy cause he wants to other bird in the house
finally someone who sees beyond the obvious. I own an Umby and that's exactly how he act when he is hyper/throwing a tantrum. it seems like he is screaming at the camera but birds' eyes are on the side so he is actually looking into the shadow in the washer door. Notice how he tilts his head. This bird is fine!
hadialam1 This is the truth. The bird is being aggressive towards the oven door, which he sees a reflection of himself. - Birds don't have self-awareness, they cannot tell the difference between a reflection and a real bird.
I think all parrots are so much fun but cockatoos have such a personality it's so sad that most parrots that get abused Is the cockatoo and they are the ones that get put in sanctuary's and re homed the most I really wish people would do there research before getting one they are loud they bite they are like having a 3 year old for the rest of there lives I wish I had the money and the space to open up a sanctuary for birds because they are my favorite animals
0:00 - calling your attention 0:08 - trying to tell you to follow 0:22 - realized it didn't work 0:28 - telling you to follow by using its reflection as it and its pretending to be you going towards it 0:31 - seeing your puzzlement, it realized it can't communicate with you and thinks of what to do to get you to follow 0:36 - tells you to use your mode of transportation (legs) to move 0:44 - wondering if you understood because you've done what it's asked so far 0:49 - telling you to walk to where it is (in front of the four stacked drawers) 0:51 - uses reflection again to represent you following and opens wings to signal motion 0:54 - telling you that it's right there 0:56 - points to a drawer with right foot 0:58 - tells you to go at it then moves out of your way so you can open it 1:03 - tells you to go at it where you are (the reflection is you again) and that it moved out of the way for you 1:06 - tells you to go at it again but this time it tells you a bit more impatiently
hi guys i post content on my baby bird mind checking us if you like us leave a sub thank you bird family we are so close to 1k hope we can grow further more
Golly! That bird is venting emotions of some kind. I've heard it's a cockatoo thing. Imagine being in the wild when a flock of cockatoos start all that! lol!
If I recall, this is the video that started my obsession with cockatoos, umbrellas in particular. It still pops up in my recommendations sometimes. Never gets old. 😂😂😂 Edit: Here I am years later, and I STILL LOVE these crazy birbs. 🤣😂
