We've all seen parrots talking, but have you seen them brushing teeth and blow drying hair? Doobie is one unique cockatoo for sure🦜❤
You have the greatest LOVE OF ALL!!❤❤
Wonderful post❤Love
Yeah but, how did he get the name Doobie? 🚬🤣
Would love to see Doobie dance to Bruno Mars's, "Uptown Funk" song. With his yellow head feathers at attention and his natural swag, oh, yeah, Doobie be the GOAT to that tune. Move over Bruno.
After hearing his sad history, I was surprised but very glad he hadn't plucked out his feathers. Let's hope he stays happy! 🎶🦜
I was wondering how come th feathers don't grow back.
It is so wrong to mistreat animals. Wishing more stricter punishments exist.
Seeing how much Kimberly cares about Doobie's happiness, there's no other way❤ Thank you for watching our video🥰
yeah that's surprising cause some parrots when getting stressed will plucked their feathers..
My sulphur crested came plugged. There was no single feather on his wings. The chest was completely naked. The former owner clipped The flight feathers. He moved in the 31.05.2023. After some weeks, The chest startet closing with feathers and the wing feathers came back.
By september He already looked beautiful. He trained his wings, hanging upside down from his swing. And now he can fly from one end of the couch to the other, without flight feathers. Amazing, how fast they can recover.
This Lady here dud such a good job. Love to see these two together❤
Yeh, I'm surprised no plucking too, plus so confident with things that are often scary to abused birds. My rescues HATE showers, blow driers etc etc, they do love bathing, but only on their own terms with a bath provided that they can choose to get in or out of, even misting with water freaks mine out, let alone the shower. Blow drier same thing, even if I hold it where they can choose in or out of it, they don't want to have it on them. Doobie's special :)
I knew birds could mimic sounds, repeating words and even phrases. But I never saw one that could copy ACTIONS, like how their human blow dries her hair. Doobie is a born entertainer!
You should check out Apollo the bird, he crazy
yeh, they do it a lot, all birds too, not just parrots, it's been studied extensively as the ability to learn by watching is considered a sign of high intelligence. I think the first study on this was in pigeons, where they locked some in cages while teaching others how to use a complex food system where the ones in the cages could watch & as soon as they let the ones in the cages try it, they immediately did the right thing, no new learning curve like the first birds had, cause they had learnt by watching the first ones learning to use it.
Cockatoos in Australia are causing some problems with this now too, since they are learning from each other how to open wheelie bins to access food scraps. Birds in different areas all do it in different ways cause one figures it out & the rest learn by watching, while in other unrelated flocks, the first to figure it out will potentially figure out a different system of opening it & so that's what the rest learn to do in that area & so on
Why do humans think EVERY OTHER CREATURE is Stupid? I would not be surprised if the other creatures taught humans FIRST.
Gosh I can’t believe people keep birds locked in cages 24/7
People who keep birds in cages should never be allowed to have birds.
Gives me the shivers just thinking about it , cool if they can come & go but to be permanently locked up 😢
What a great pet! Thank you for allowing us to get to know him.
@@garyk1334 Absolutely! A cage is necessary to have so that a bird has a safe space to stay in just in case. But definitely not 24/7! They need movement just like all animals and we do❤🦜
@@CuddleBuddiesChannel agreed! A cage is their bedroom or apartment. We all got to see in the pandemic what it's like to be stuck in our apartments 24/7 for weeks, I couldn't imagine being stuck in it for 20+ years! Birds absolutely need to be able to leave their cage & explore a larger area & have social interactions & mental stimulation. So sad the number of people who don't realise this or realise just how intelligent & emotional parrots really are. Glad your channel educates people on this (which it does really well by providing stories people will enjoy watching & subtly reaching those people with that info of what they COULD have with their pet too if they tried to get it)
Doobie looks like a lot of fun. Happy you are making his life better now. ❤😊
Keep in mind everyone, parrot education has come a long way since this guy was a baby. Thankful he found a home that understands how things have changed & has improved the quality of life for this guy! 👍👍
Kimberly thankyou for saving Precious Doobie,
I am so glad you saved him from his previous mean owner
Such a stunning colour
Doobie is your spirit animal guide.
Bird 🦅 soul mates are a treasure that is priceless.
By the way, looking into their eyes is like looking into their souls. They are living breathing loving, caring extremely intelligent beings. Each with their own personalities. Just like cats, dogs, humans. ❤
That is adorable how he copies her blow drying and runs his feet thru his crown!!!!! It amazes me to see how smart they are and how they pick up on things we wouldn’t even think about! Wow!!!
Right! Or the teeth brushing. Seems unreal, but just goes to show how intelligent cockatoos are🦜 Thank you for watching our video!
So happy you found each other. Doobie will be treated with love the rest of his life.💕
So adorable!! ❤ Love his fun blow dryer antics and when he's squealing like he's on a swing. 😂
Never a dull day with Doobie🤩
Such sociable and loving animals. Thank you for allowing him to be him and experience unconditional love 💜💜💜
Cockatoos are so intelligent and definitely have a sense of humour! They don’t belong in cages! I’m glad Doobie found a loving home. I regularly see large flocks of sulphur crested cockatoos, and smaller flocks of yellow-tailed black cockatoos, they are beautiful creatures!
I love the wiggle butt of birds when they walk....this is an adorable little one
How could anyone keep him in a cage for the best part of 28 years? I despair of the human race sometimes and our capacity to be so ignorant and so cruel.
So glad he's in a loving family now. You are good people. 😊
Awe Doobie is adorable 🥺😍❤️
Beautiful and fun bird buddy. Glad his life was improved and looks like yours also.
He's a cutie 💓
I couldn't do that to any living thing.Caged for 27 years😳😳😳
Handsome feather boy 🥺😍❤️
He is amazing! And so are you!
Same here in regards with "Adopt, Do Not Shop!"
what an adorable bird!
So glad you found each other!! ❤
Doobie is so well adjusted considering his beginnings, bless you both! 👍🙏🕊️
He's adorable 😍 ❤.
I, too, was surprised he hadn't plucked after being on a cage so long. He definitely loves you.
God bless you.
I am not a bird rescue person, but my wife and I have been Pit Bull rescuers for the last 26 years, and she is a vet tech.
I have seen many Cockatoos and African Grays, and I never cease to be amazed by these majestic birds, and their incredible life span and individual personalities.
Your bird is so lucky to have you!
A former boyfriend of mine and a blue and gold macaw, Jesse, who absolutely loved showers and would rock his perch as he water sprayed on him. So fun to watch him enjoy himself :)
He’s just too darn cute for his own good. 😊❤🐦
Thank-you for rescuing him. He must feel like he's in Paradise now.
What a sweet story of mutual love and affection!❤❤❤
What a beautiful lady, pouring her heartfelt consideration into that bird. I felt like crying, I was so impressed with her care for him. 💫🐾💯
We need more people like Kimberly in this world❤
Lovely story 🐦 how can anyone keep a bird confined in a cage 24/7? how cruel! For 28 years! I'm so pleased he's with you now, he loves you ❤ Thank you for rescuing him 🌹🌹
Lost his wings, but happily, not his soul! ❤❤❤❤
My all-time favorite species of cockacatoos, the yellow sufur version. Very fun video!
They have the most unexpected personalities! We are happy you enjoyed our video💚
He is a Citron Crested
Absolutley gorgeous!!! Full of life and sooo funny.. Lovely to meet you Doobie❤❤❤
He's a very lucky cockie. I don't like to see them in captivity ( I see them daily here in Aus) but this is a rescue with someone who really cares.
Awwww, what a special guy! I’m so glad he finally has an owner that’s showering him with love, attention & freedom💗
Thanks for looking after Doobie. Living in Australia seeing a flock of parrots makes my week. I adore parrots and cry inside when these intelligent birds are mistreated. So thanks again for making Doobie happy.
He seems to be a happy little guy despite his tragic past! So funny and lovely!❤😊
He's so beautiful. I'm glad they found each other. 🐥
Love the video 😅😅😅😅
He looks so healthy now 😇
Thank you Kimberly,for giving Doobie all the love He deserves❤
Awww, doobie (sp?) Is such a sweet, beautiful boy! He's a very good boy who found the mum he was meant to have.
I do hope they continue to have a happy, long life together!
💗🙂
Love his Sunflower Yellow head feathers!! ❤❤😊😊
Bless you 4 taking and caring 4 this beautiful baby boy 🐦..he has a good mommy now and his best life ever!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks for caring
God it breaks my heart wen I see a bird that usually flies miles n miles every day in the wild that can’t fly at all 😞…. So glad he has u now mate 🙏
Puts his snack on his shoulder LOL
And no one's allowed to question it!😄❤
Thank you for giving him the life he deserves.
wing strength. if you teach him, he will get his wings back
I don't think it's a strength thing, rather a motivation thing, just no interest in trying to fly. I don't know the easy solution to that.
I have 2 rescues, one with fused wings who will therefore never be able to fly, but who desperately wants to & another who is quite capable of flying but refuses to. When catching to clip nails, I set things up so that he has the ability to fly to escape me & he'll fly then, but won't fly any other time, not even tiny distances for super treats :(
Is really good if they can be taught to enjoy flying, especially for overweight birds, as flying really does knock the weight off them fast (being overweight does make it harder for them to fly in the first place though & makes them less likely to even attempt it)
this is my fav channel all these videos really put a smile on my face and bring me joy to see so many kind ppl giving animals the life they deserve
What a big sweetheart this bird is!! Maybe he can still learn how to fly. One suggestion is to bring in a foster bird who can fly, and maybe your bird will copy that bird.
Doobie’s got a GREAT PERSONALITY! I’ve always wanted a bird maybe I’ll start looking around!
This can be your sign🙌 If you do start looking for a bird, please consider giving rescues a chance! Turned out great for Kimberly and Doobie🥰
Make sure you look at their needs in detail AND life expectancy, especially if you get a young bird. Cockatoos can live 80-100 years, so unless you're getting an older rescue bird, that's a LONG time to be caring for one. Really important to research well, cause they really don't do well with multiple homes through their lives. There are species with shorter life expectancies though, 10-30 years only in some cases, or you can rescue one that's already "old" if you don't want such a long commitment
They are wonderful pets for the right person, just be sure you research & get one (or more) that suit your lifestyle & commitment levels though
Doobie is a survivor.
The film of him in his cage is heartbreaking.
The film of him "flying" brought a lump to my throat and now the tears are starting. ❤ 😢
I hope he has found his forever home. Hope you and Kim are happy together. I'm sure they will be.
You're a lovely person Kim and your heart is definitely in the right place.
So adorable ❤
God bless you for stepping up & being Doobies person…he finally has a wonderful life 👍🙏💕
He is absolutely precious ❤ so wonderful you're giving him the life he so deserves ❤
It looks like he has little pants on. So cute!!
We need the contacts of his tailor! Fit like a glove😂❤ Thank you for watching!
God bless u for taking him....gave him a life and enriched urs,too!❤️🙏🙂
I love Doobie and his little fat pants ❤. Glad he is with this lady for the rest of his life..
A bird in a small cage... For 28 years! That's a literal prison to a bird. I'm glad he was rescued. He finally gets to live his life with someone who loves him.
Thank you for resching this tiny soul from his imprisonment!
Do you think that maybe he could fly some day? Can he build up strength in his muscles? Or is it too late for him?
This birb's situation made me cry because it was for so many years. I am glad now he can finally live and be cared for and loved.
I think Doobie is in good hands now. 🙂
You saved his life and the best part is he saved yours as well. What a heart warming story. Thank you for sharing.
You’re a savior. Makes me so happy for this sweet bird. And the love you get is not measurable!!
He is so fortunate you give him the life he has long deserved.
He's beautiful, and so is your heart❤. People like you are wonderful. I can't print what I think of these senseless humans that do these things to birds. He is a gorgeous bird. Thank you.❤❤
What a doll! How could someone leave Doobie 24/7 in a cage? So cruel. Thank God you found him!❤❤
❤looks like Tony rest in peace little angel Tony 😢
He is a silly boy😊 I ❤ the beautiful colored feathers on top of his head..have a great life together❤❤
He is a gorgeous bird. Thank you for giving him a chance
🤧 aww he's so gorgeous, bless you for saving him and giving him a great forever home, outstanding video thanks for sharing 🖤😎👍
🥰❤
Sulphur Crested Cockatoos are hilarious. I see them every day in the park across the road from me. They’ve been feeding in my pear tree this week too. Sulphur Crests mate for life so I love watching them waddling along with their partners. They can live to be 100. 🇦🇺They are native to Australia.
This one's actually a smaller species, I think a citron crested from Indonesia. Most cockies overseas tend to be Indonesian species, cause we have really strong poaching protections for our animals in Australia & really harsh penalities for those caught, so poachers tend to target Indonesia instead, where there's less chance of being caught or properly punished for their despicable crimes. Almost, if not all Indonesian species are endangered cause of the pet trade. Pretty different to the massive flocks of wild ones we have here isn't it!
I grew up in a dog/cat house. Birds blow my mind now. I had no idea they were so social.
The world needs more people like you❤ truly amazing,
Thank you so much for saving this beautiful boy 🙏🏼❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Bravo Doobie!!!
OMG gorgeous Sulphur Crested ! I do not see many ! Perfect shape ! HUGE commitment. Love this
citron crested I think actually. Definitely not a sulphur crested as they're MUCH bigger birds
@@lilaclizard4504 thank you !
I love watching happy story why people lock birds up chubby but cute he knew you would help him he knew it and felt it huggs from Minnesota my cocktail could not fly so he sat on my shoulders all the time he was glued to me😊
He's precious..thank God for you! ❤❤❤❤
He's so cute!
How adorable. Beautiful story!😊😊😊
Thank you for Liberating and loving Doobie ❤
I love the tooth brushing impression, so cute :)
I wonder if he'll ever learn to fly, his wings will fully extend, so he has the capacity, just needs to learn how or have the confidence to try. My poor little girl has fused wings from being in such a tiny cage for a decade of her life, so she'll never be able to fly, but Doobie can fully extend his, so he could fly if he wanted to, guess he's just happy as things are & sees no need
When Doobie was walking, and you were singing The Monkees song, I lost it! 😂😂😂❤❤ I hope you have many years of laughter and happiness together!! ❤
What a treasure … both of you 😊🌷💕
Im so lucky to live in Sydney Australia where these birds..sulphur crested cockatoos ..live amongst us although some ppl wouldnt say hapoily but i love them...i have another native Australian bird as a pet...my little budgie..we also have rainbow lorrikeets that are in massive numbers ..correllas..galahs..we are super lucky to be able to see an live amongst these beautiful animals .
Adorable. Si intelligent.
Quel merveilleux Compagnon
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Doobie looks like a Citron Cockatoo like our Peaches. Peaches said “hello” while watching the video!
I love white cockatoos and my heart is so grateful you connected. Thanks for this share. He looks so happy now!
So glad you rescued this precious boy!
God bless you and God bless this beautiful baby maybe maybe he have 100 more years of happiness.❤🎉😅
I'm amazed that they don't trip over their own feet.
I think he’s a Citron cockatoo, how adorable he is.
Hes beautiful ❤️
Awww you guys made my day thanks for loving on him the way you do God bless ❤
“It’s HE* and I.” 😊❤
