Cockatoo Chacarron

Yet another video of my Umbrella Cockatoo (Chewy) dancing. This one is my first try at editing with sound etc however. Enjoy! =)

PLEASE read below:

I would DEFINITELY recommend doing a LOT of research before looking into a parrot as a pet. Chewy might look cute and cuddly but parrots can potentially be very dangerous. Even more so with children around. Even cute cuddly sweet Chewy has taken a few nips at me from time to time.. and with a beak as big as his that could do a LOT of damage to an unsuspecting finger! Expenses are also something to keep in mind... while it might not seem like a lot at first the expense of a parrot is by far worse over time than up front. A parrot needs play stands as well as as large a cage as you can provide for it. For a bird as large as Chewy the cage can cost upwards of $500-$800 dollars and a playstand usually will run at around $100-$300. Also they require fresh veggies and fruits daily.. as well as a pelleted diet (seeds are NOT good for birds!). Depending on the size of the parrot their toys need to be replaced very regularly. They're extremely intelligent creatures and therefore they need a LOT of mental stimulation. Toys are a great way to provide that for them. Parrots like to chew apart their toys so unfortunately that is a never ending expense. A monthly toy budget can be upwards of $60-$100 a month for a single large parrot. While all of this might sound a bit extreme I assure you it's needed. Parrots who are under stimulated or not cared for properly can become aggressive, territorial, EXTREMELY loud, or even begin to self mutilate. PLEASE consider all of this before stepping into the lifetime commitment of owning a parrot.

There's a great forum that I am a member of that has A LOT of very experienced parrot owners. They're always so helpful and a real joy to talk with. If you have any more questions feel free to go there and ask away!

I'm going to be sending you a PM with more information here. I'm also going to be adding more info in the "more info" sections of all of my videos. I strongly recommend that anybody interested in a parrot like Chewy check this information out!

[Animallover08668]

whats that thing shes standing on. where did u get it? can u order one? please tell me! im getting a parrot soon and i want my parrot to be happy :D

[skie126]

Actually that is a standard tree stand. I got one from somebody local but you can order them alllll over the place online. They are a DEFINITE if you are going to have a parrot of any size. They really need lots of that "out of the cage" time every day.

Chewy rules OK!

He (she?) is a beautiful bird...seems very healthy and happy!

[skie126]

LOL Thank you very much. I have never had Chewy sexed but I have always referred to him as a "he" lol.

[MadAidy]

Dunno why this song was EVER released but Chewy makes it hilarious XDDD

[birdlady423]

Chewy is so amazing and funny.  She is one of the best dancers on youtube. Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!

My guinea pig keeps me busy though I'd love to have such a beautiful and clever bird in my home. Please be very careful and screen deeply - you are advertising on a public site for a new caregiver for your pet, and - you wouldn't want anyone taking him just to harm him or worse. It is a crazy world out there, cyberland taking the cake for first prize.
