Sampson the green wing macaw and Steve the boy

A boy and his pet Greenwing Macaw playing a little hide and seek on a duvet. The bird comes off its cage and climbs the stairs..then it works its way onto the bed to be with the family so it can have some fun.
Enjoy,

My bird continues to play with my son years after I posted my video..they are the best of pals..sorry to those who postulated that the bird would do extensive damage to my son. It just never happened the bird gets under the covers now and they play in sheer darkness. It was fun making this video and thanks to those who comment on it...The zany bird even comes on my boat..it also chases my equally zany Australian Shepard around the yard...cheers ..

yes he did but it did not really hurt. You need to hold onto his beak to controll

his bitting action. He was so cute, and fun but alot of cleanig and a family HAS to share in the work. One person doing all of it is too much if there are children in the house and parents are working.

Just a little update I made this video in 2007 and now in 2010 the bird and my son are the best of pals. Steven even takes the bird to school for show and tell.

Too many making assumptions and not knowing the situation. You are not there, you don't know if the parent explained to be careful to the child, you don't know how old the bird is and the relationship it has with the owner. I see a harmless vidoe of an owner and his/her child enjoying their pet. Thank you for this video, it made me smile. I have played hide n seek with an umbrella cockatoo that showed similar feather/body movements to Sampson. Fun birds to play with!

Very sweet video! My bird does the same thing, we call it beak tag! And FYI My GW has never bitten me while playing!

@HedgedIn The lack of pain is like us getting a hair cut, but for the bird the stress involved is nothing like us getting a little off the top. The ones I've seen get it done, (my own cockatiels) screamed and flapped and went into a dazed state for about thirty minutes after it was done. It was done in the vets office with an avian vet that is well known for her great handling of parrots. I'm glad I got it done, but I hated the stress it put on them.

This is abuse to an animal.

Cute video... but the GW is very young here. I wonder what the relationship is like now.
