I always think Cockatoos are so sweet and charming, but I also know they can get loud, feisty, and even mischevious and damaging. How do you discipline these birds?
If I had one and it started causing trouble, I would spank its tail with a fly swatter. Or maybe even whip it with a small strap, reminding it who its master is!
@Halpin2006 Don't get a bird if you plan on "disciplining" it with a goddamn fly swatter. If you did a little more research, you would learn that birds do not understand the concept of discipline, so the bird would ultimately hate you for being a total asshole, like you are.
Yes I have ear plugs and Im not joking. Around 8pm Coco likes to get some screaming out for a couple of minutes and you can hear her three houses down, still love her though :)
@CelticWarrior1337 - His claws are fine. Parrots have an inward-facing step. It's how they walk up and down branches. It looks weird when they are walking on flat surfaces, and it is more obvious in some birds than others, but it's normal.
Haha, Coco seems to get very excited when he see's the water running!
I must say, you have an outstandingly beautiful bird, i have watched all your videos and I dont think i have ever seen a Too so laid back and happy, and his feathers and in beautiful condition. You must be very proud owners! I wish you and him a very happy time together <3
this video is so adorable but i'm not sure if having a cockatoo is right. While a baby cockatoo may view its owner as a parent, this changes as the bird grows up. A mature cockatoo is stimulated by extended petting and cuddling and soon begins to view its owner as a potential mate. Our behavior is extremely confusing to the bird who doesn’t understand why we don’t follow through with nest building and egg laying. Why do we go away and leave them each day? Why do we show affection for others?
I am going to come and kidnap Coco haha! He is completely adorable. Such a beautiful character. What fantastic company he must be. These videos show how much you love him and all your animals, so wonderful!
we may try this. when our birds are in the shower, they are up on the shower curtain rod. we bring each down on our arms, individually to lightly spray them. I think this might be better. We'll give it a shot. thanks FT oh yes 5/5 stars of course.
No expert here, but our parrot prefers to be sprayed with the spray bottle. It's also a good way to keep chlorine/chlorinate off her skin by using spring or filtered water. She also likes it when she is in the large houseplant on her perch which we put in for her. She rubs against the foliage and runs up and down the tree. Make sure the tree or plant you try, if you decide to, isn't poisonous or irritating to your particular bird.
good grief! we are careful with drinking water ALL of the time. I assumed that shower water is okay for us so why not for the birds? dang! I have to discuss this with the wife. thnaks for the 411. FT
Truth be told, it isn't all that great for our skin either and causes rough, scaly, dry skin in winter for my husband. I'm an oily Italian! I didn't mean to do the scare tactic thing. Parrots in captivity can be prone to feather picking and sometimes it can just be itchy skin and they pluck to relieve the itching. You can get a case of spring water for 3.00 these days. See how that works.
I am not sure why he does that, but it appears to be something he likes. He is not being defensive at all. The time he ever got in the shower, he jumped up and down on my arm like that....it was like...thank you, thank you, thank you. It seems to be a happy dance :)
@gaybird7 he is trying to regurgitate his food to share it with someone or something he likes. My friends Umbrella Cockatoo does that everytime we get him out.
@gaybird7 It is a happy dance, I did work experiance at a animal sanctuary and when ever the parrot saw me (He's a huge proper size parrot) he would do the same and say "Helloooo" in a raspy voice and then do the dance again until I let him into my shoulder.
@gaybird7 Uh, my bird does that happy dance thing too! But, she does it, anywhere! && she also does this weird exorcism thing too, do all parrots do that?
@raysima we call it the excited dance all birds do it.... Coco does it with flare though do to his wonderful head feathers.... now if he was upset or scared he'd do the head thing without the bouncing and he would also "puff up" more
@raysima Parrots dont generally bathe, they generally get their cleaning from each other, by them self, and in the wild by the rain, so they spread their feathers out like that so the water catches them, as for the jumping thats just them getting excited.
@raysima that's normal "display" behavior for a cockatoo that is excited. A defensive move looks very different. They are rarely threatening, but when they roll onto their backs with claws up, look out.
I enjoy your videos because the animals are always happy and content. Lots of love shared with them for certain. Thanks for sharing these with us in cyber world.
He is looking for Lucky. My U2 mumbles the same way. Sometimes though she is very clear when she speaks. Don't feel bad about not understanding Coco as much as you think you should, they know we aren't as smart as they are!
He is a very happy bird. When he is talking he is trying to communicate and loving life. He does yell also, and those are the times when I feel bad for him. I wish he could talk more clearly so I could really help him. He really is like a baby :-)
Chisa: tried 2 email 2 u but u have block on: was going to comment and accidentally removed instead of replying. Please forgive. I am trying to get more videos sharing the "not so nice side" of Coco. He can scream like there is NO 2morrow. I just want everyone to understand that these are fiesty birds and when not happy he lets you & the entire neighborhood know. When I am able to get a decent video I'll upload. It's hard because when he sees me he stops yelling. He is one sly and needy bird. :)
You guys crack me up with your love for our bird, Coco. He is wonderful and thank you very much for your sweet sentiments. Don't let it break your heart Chisaoboy...live vicariously through us and our videos. :)
My birdy Coco. This sweet bird makes my day. How can you not love this little guy? Breaks my heart watching him. (Primarily because I can't hold him!!!)
He's a gorgeous bird. What type is he? He looks a lot like our cockatoos, but he isn't one.
