Cockatoo Bird Bite

I love my birds. But always remember that large Parrots are wild animals we confine and force to live in our world. This bite was not because of a bad situation or out of anger. It was wild instinct. The bite was MY fault. IT'S ALWAYS THE HUMANS FAULT. Please support your local bird rescue.

Thank you for posting this, it is my go to video whenever I hear someone talking about how much they want a cockatoo to "cuddle with" and "be their little buddy." I played with an extremely friendly one in a local bird store and despite my knowledge of their immense needs, it was hard not to fall in love right then and there, let alone what a less educated person might do. I just wish more people spent more time learning which bird fit their home. I love bird birds, but my green cheek is enough.

@jlcribber , thanks for rescuing birds, and thanks for putting up this video to let reckless wanna-be bird owner understand what can happen, and that it is not the bird's fault if it does. And thanks also for responding so patiently to some of the ignorant or ill-mannered things left i the comments here.

Hi can you plzz tell me which sex is usually quieter?? I know all cockatoos are loud but still

[jlcribber]

@sprinky311 There's no such thing as a quiet cockatoo, male or female.

@itubedesiree Because some other asshole just like you abused both of them for years and I had to rescue them, rehabilitate them and try to give them some semblance of a life. They are both psychologically damaged from being hand raised and heavily human imprinted. They would not survive for two weeks if set free (which can't happen anyway because of where we live). I look after them because somebody has to. Man is very good at exploiting and damaging everything but woefully inept at fixing it.

@lilayvioleta1 Come on over and I'll let him show you personally how he fake bites. Bring your first aid kit.

Thanks for your compassion toward wild birds. They are pets only because of their evolutionary social nature, but people need to remember, they are wild and need a lot of attention and care for life.

@emeraldscales Meant to say 'big" birds.

@chandnisagar -- I think you're kind of mean to jump to conclusions. Both of these are rescue birds -- who knows what happened to them before this man got them.  And the bird's biting may have nothing to do with a history of abuse. Maybe he just felt like biting that day. Anyway, it's mean to hint around that a guy who goes to all the cost and trouble of rescuing birds is secretly abusing them. :(

@sandyhembree -- what did you choose? Or did you decide to hold off on getting a bird now? because all birds need a LOT of care, regardless of gender.
