My old girlfriend parrot hated me to start with, then I secretly started bringing treats for her, when we broke up she gave me the parrot as she loved me. Samantha is still with me twenty years later lol 🥰😍
Somethings are meant to be. You were destined to have a close relationship with a parrot. Majority of us have had relationships with dogs and cats. You're special, so you got a parrot. Accounts like this let me know nothing is by chance. Beautiful story.
That is hilarious 😂
Wow! I wasn't expecting that ending, lol!
Amazing!
Good pets are generally better than humans. Though not always.
If Shelby ever learns to say "walkies" and "treats" they're gonna have an interesting week XD
Haha! It’s the fact that shadow responds to “shall we go for a fly?!” 😂😂
He'd be expecting her to get that leash!
@@ShelbyTheMacaw .
Clever 👌
😂 awesome!
The fact that the parrot is free to fly away and come back is truly amazing he really Loves his family 😍🥰
Yes. It’s something we discuss a lot about on our channel, free flight for macaws IS possible, and is BEAUTIFUL
It has nothing to do with love. It's just a lot and a lot and a lot of training 🤣 I'm currently flight training 2 parrots and the amount of work you need to put in to enable thrm to free fly is astronomical. But so, so worth it in the end :)
Freedom as William Wallace shouted
same thing i was wondering, im happy they don't cut the wings and allow the parrot to fly but i can imagine how much training is involved to get them to come back
@@codexone2194 the training is for you to ensure they return to you, but birds can willingly return to you if they truly trust and more importantly feel safe with you
I love how she flops over and wraps her little toes around his leg 🥰
That is cute. When she flys the dog watches her and runs along with her.
It is so beautiful to watch
@@australianwoman9696 but she'd never hurt the dog, nor the dog her.
Yes when I saw that my ❤️, well you know.
oooh i knooow !!!! my heart melted at that moment !! especially seeing birds, they do NOT give bellies unless they are so relaxed even many relaxed chill birds have limits and dont like to be belly up as that is such a vulnerable position, so that shows the level oft rust and the bond they both have
I can already see this as a children’s book.
So so so many people have said this!!
@@ShelbyTheMacaw yeah I know, but that doesn’t mean it can’t happen!
Yes. I certainly agree. I can also see this as a wonderful children's book. Go for it !
I've already made it an episode of Reading Rainbow (in my head).
This needs to be a cartoon
A FRIEND is someone who is there with you, even when the rest of the world has gone out. Covered in fur or feathers, it makes no difference.
💯Agree ❤️
Exactly !!!
Yes 👏🏼 yes 👏🏼 yes 👏🏼
@@ShelbyTheMacaw “
they're cats :D
It’s nice to see the parrot flying out and about.
Thank you! Shelby is free flight trained
Do you have eagles or hawks there? Would they be a danger? I really enjoyed your beautiful bird and wonderful dog. 😁
I was thinking the very same thing, it's brilliant to see💖
Its so refreshing to see .
I was thinking the exact same thing, I have a little pacific parrotlette and I wish I could let her out like this but I don't think she would come back unfortunately and I wouldn't want to put her in danger.
Parrots are intellegent, and most dogs too. They will be fine together.
They really do love each other
@@ShelbyTheMacaw yes they do lol
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Just wondering, what are the dumb dogs? 🤔
Oh brilliant thanks for that Barbara
I love that they haven't clipped the bird's wings and she can fly outside!
I was thinking the same thing. Birds are meant to fly and it's always upsetting to see birds kept in cages
We’re very much against wing clipping and instead promote recall training in birds! We have loved every second of allowing Shelby the freedom of flight
@@ShelbyTheMacaw That's wonderful you trained Shelby to come back. I was afraid he would fly away! 🦜
@@ShelbyTheMacaw Just watch out for those sneaky falcons. ;)
I think it's even more incredible that Shelby has such a bond and trust. I would be so, so nervous letting my parrot fly around outside. It's awesome
We hope you have enjoyed watching our story of Shelby and Shadow, there’s lots more to come!
Did you buy this parrot or rescued it????
I'll remember This three minutes vdo for my whole life
@@vaidehi2935 yes thank you!
I love that you let your parrot fly.
@@csam7778 thank you so much. It’s the least she deserves
The moment I saw the parrot flying outside, playing tag with the dog...I sat right up straight and my mouth dropped. KUDOS to this wonderful couple who cherishes their animals, to the free bird who loves to stay home and, of course, to the pup who's having the time of his life with a best friend who FLIES!!!
"When an animal invades your personal space..."
-personal space no longer exists.
It’s extremely frustrating sometimes haha
I'd rather be with my creatures than some humans I know. :)
"Dog And Parrot Who Didn't Get Along Spend Every Single Moment Together Now."
I really enjoyed this animal version of the Odd Couple.
Thats a good title.
They really do love each other now, we are lucky to have them both
I always say birds aren't meant to be pets. They're suppose to be outside and fly around, but this one does go outside and gets to fly around and comes back so it's all good. It's pretty great actually.
There's actually a lot of parrot owners who now don't clip their bird's wings, and will let them fly outside (they train for a long time for recall training of course) It's growing more popular!
Thank you! Comments like this are why we continue to spread awareness of the dangers of clipping and try to educate people on training their birds to recall.
@@phoebezhang1190 you’re so right. It’s getting more and more popular!
exactly my thought!
My macaw also gets outside time, she however doesn't really seem to like flying. Nothing wrong with her, she just prefers to stay on the ground 🤷
"I love this colorful flying doge" - Shadow
Funky looking pigeon 😂😂
@@ShelbyTheMacaw Wow if it isn't the flying doge herself!!
It's so nice to see people letting their pet birds fly. So much more happiness and trust.
So great!
Thank you. We have worked very hard to allow her the freedom of flight and love sharing it with you
@@ShelbyTheMacaw how old was Shelby when she met Shadow? Thanks! I am hoping to pair up similar animal friends one day...
not possible with budgies
The pic of Shelby flying low with Shadow right behind her is AWESOME!! Great video!!
It’s one of our favourite ever pictures of them together
IKR! You beat me to the comment.
@@ShelbyTheMacaw I had no idea anyone let their parrots fly freely outdoors. This makes me so happy!
2:10 love how the parrot rolls on his back like the dog..lol
Haha yes. Our last video shows the first time she rolled onto her back and it’s actually a sign of complete trust and love!
The friendship between animals is outstanding 👏👏
Very
Yesss
@@ShelbyTheMacaw eyyyyy you're here
@David Lee exactly. 👏👍🏼
@David Lee I fully agree with you,human's nature is destructive.
That she flies and he runs along with her is absolutely stunning and amazing. Love this!!
Thank you so much. 💜
I love that they let the parrot fly around instead of keeping her in a cage all day.
My old neighbor had a parrot and he let it fly free and it chewed the tops of the door off and a lot of the walls of the room. So you really have to be careful with that. They can do a lot of damage to your home.
I've never seen a pet bird who's allowed outside to fly around. Marvelous! Birds are meant to fly!
So true. It kills me to see birds caged just so we can look at them when we want to. Humans are so thoughtless.
We share so so many videos on our channel of Shelby in free flight and the beauty of allowing pet birds to fly. We hope it becomes the norm
@@sunnydaze2359 so true. Heart breaking
It’s called free flying. A lot of people do it especially with the larger parrots like Macaws. In Sydney there’s a family that has a flock of blue and gold Macaws and although they hang out at the house they’re free to just fly around wherever they want.
In the inner city too, but they live near an enormous park.
The wild instincts of most birds kick in when they are allowed outside. They just kind of forget that they have a home already. Animals like parrots are a bit different due to their unusually high intelligence. But it's very rare to pull it off with a bird like a parakeet.
Awww I find it so cute when two different species love each other,I find it a beautiful sight, Animals are the cutest most amazing creatures ever and deserve love, happiness and more🐶🐱🐻🦊🐯
Thank you 🥰
I wish all the world could just be Shelbys and Shadows. ❤️🎁🤗
Oh my god me too 🥺
Shadow looks just like our family dog we had for 16 yrs!!!Still miss our Luther!What beautiful bestie's!🐦
Lots of people have said Shadow resembles their dog too haha.
Hi
Thank you so so much for sharing our story! Our latest video goes into more depth about Shadow and Shelby’s relationship! 🥰 And for those interested Shelby, is a free flying macaw! She is trained to a high standard in recall and so is free to fly as much as she pleases 🦜
They became family to each other. I love seeing stories like this.
Beautiful animals! Noticed how the dog never once opened his/her mouth when near or next to the parrot? Gave it just nudges with mouth closed. So freaking SWEET. 💘💖
Thank you! And yes! We want people to notice this too, he’s super gentle with her!
That is so cool. Great to see a parrot flying around and stays with his best bud!
They absolutely adore flying and running side by side. It’s a wonder to see
Never let down or, dissapointed with The Dodo odd couple, stories... Love it !!
Aw thank you so much. We loved working with them and spreading the love
How cool that Shelby has outdoor space to fly and then always comes home 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Omg that was so beautiful especially when you let her fly freely ❤
Thank you! And yes, it’s so important that she can fly every day
@@ShelbyTheMacaw it was lovely to see thanks
Hi
Same with mine I adopted a neglected macaw and he hated my dog but slowly they became buds but now my dog gets annoyed because the macaw wants to prine him. But my dog is a Doberman and is a sweetheart
Aw this is so cute. Shelby preens Shadow too, and he isn’t a fan haha. He has no idea what she’s trying to do 😂😂
Wolves and Ravens are good friends in the wild.
10000 years later...
Love how the dog turns around as if to check his parrot buddy is coming 💕
Geezus, Dodo! Continuing to melt my heart on a daily basis! :)
Haha right!
so true Wittie
This is so beautiful to see a parrot without its wings feathers cut
Hi
I love dogs. I love parrots. And these two love each other. And how great they both have space to run and fly.
Thank you 🙏🏼
How adorable 😍❤️❤️ animals never cease to amaze me, they’re just incredible in every way 🌺🌸🌹💕💜
How to I like this comment over and over again 😙
I love the fact that their bird is allowed to fly outside!!! They both have a great life!!
Thank you so much. Comments like this are why we do what we do ❤️
@@ShelbyTheMacaw You guys are amazing people!! 🙏🙌
@@ShelbyTheMacaw I'm also amazed to see that you let her fly free, as she's supposed to. But is there a specific reason you don't get a second one? I mean it's lovely to see how well she gets along with you and the dog, but after all these are animals that usually live in big swarms and have one partner for life. She's probably not unhappy the way she lives now, but maybe you could get her the best life possible by allowing her to have a partner - one with feathers. I don't think that humans or dogs could replace that partnership, especially considering how much longer a parrot lives than a dog. Like I said, I do think you are already providing a good life for her, but maybe there is room for improvement. I wish all the best for you and your furry and feathery friends🤗.
@@j051eb8 this is the plan but the timing and circumstances need to be just so, so as not to affect Shelby negatively (we can’t assume she will just get on with any old bird, she could hate it) but also so as not to impact the family negatively in any way. Pairs of birds isn’t necessarily essential but we would like another soon
@@ShelbyTheMacaw thank you for the answer, I hope you will be able to find her a new friend that fits right into your family, good luck
The way the bird lays on its back in front of the dog is a big sign of trust!!❤️
Completely right! We filmed the first time she ever rolled on her back for him and yes it’s a huge sign of trust. Birds are of course extremely vulnerable in that position. Our latest vid on the channel shows it
Maybe the parrot is doing what he sees the dog do.
How great to see a parrot that’s not kept in prison (a cage).
Then do not buy these birds. 😴
@@Dare-Knight I would never buy a bird I’m an animal rights advocate and vegan.
Parrots are amazing pets if you are patient, crazy and receptive to their jealousy.
MY CHEEKS HURT FROM SMILING SO MUCH!!!😄love this✌
Dog and parrot are so cute playing looks like they have a special bond they look like they have a friend
They really love each other
I wish we here in the US could all get along like these two lovely creatures. What's happened to our humanity? So sad....
Animals can teach us to be better🌈
People believe the non-stop propaganda being pushed on them. That's what creates the anger we are currently dealing with. If they'd do their own research, people would get along and realize, those in power are the enemy to us all.
@@Peace-lr7mt agree there
@@Peace-lr7mt Amen to that, amen!
I totally agree. Our last video, also about shadow and Shelby, shares the importance of loving each other
Beautiful family!
Hi
For anyone thinking they’d love a parrot, they can live 40/50 years
Some even 80 years. It's something you need to address in your will.
I needed to see this today. I absolutely love this. The way that animals are just so loving no matter who or what you are.... I wish humans could be this way.
I hope you’re ok, and I’m glad we put a smile on your face. ❤️
@@ShelbyTheMacaw you are very kind
Hi
The sad thing is that the parrots lives for decades (40-80 years ) while the dogs for 15-16 years.
That’s why their time together has so much meaning, though. Everything is fleeting, but it’s our memories that make it matter.
It's only sad that doggos don't live longer.
Yes this is very true. We did a video about how thing may turn out for Shelby and shadow on our channel
I wish this had not been posted. What's the point?
All 4 (at least) love each other.
Every day is a gift anyways
Loved this, especially when Shadow ran when Shelby flew! You are a loving family of four! So sweet.
I cant express just how much I love this video. I grew up and my grandpa had a Rottweiler named grizz and a Macaw named Mengo this just brought back so many memories. I've never said thank you for a video before but thank you for this one💯
This is adorable already
You’re early 😍
This is awesome. If a dog and a bird can love each other, maybe there is hope for me. :D
@David Lee ;)
He held on his foot like a perch 😂 its awesome that you can let him fly free like he deserves.They are both special together and your a wonderful owner...✌💙🙏
Thank you so much 🥺
Love this!! Especially them flying snd running together
The Parrots so careful not to stab his snoot with her sharp beak 🥺 Lol
I know haha. Although sometimes she’s not so careful lol
Adorable..💞
Hello
CUTE parrot 🐦+Doggy 🐕 👌 lovely friendship between them 👏👏👏
Thank you 🙏🏼
Animals can teach us a lot about enjoying each others differences, and making the most of our lives together!
What's with all the down thumbs, this just made me really happy seeing them Together!
I dont think it's good to encourage this to public at large, as many parrots get fatally injured by dogs too close, even if unintentional bite
Adorable
SO BEAUTIFUL, IT ONLY PROVES THAT ALL SPEICES CAN GET ALONG WITH PATIENTS AND MUCH LOVE. 🥰🙋♀️🦜🐕🙋♂️
so true
My favorite Dodo videos are about the “odd couple” friendships. It always makes we smile and all is well in the moment.
I love these!
That's adorable 😍!
Hey Linda
Love makes your life beautiful
What beautiful pictures of special friends❤️🥰
I'm in LOVE 💕😘❤️🤗 BEAUTIFUL seeing him fly with pup following !!! 👍
Hi
@@davidryan7992 hi
@@davidryan7992 is this your dog & Macaw ?
@@kwutopia10 so where are you from.
@@davidryan7992 is this your dog & Bird in video ?
So this dog is basically that birds emotional support animal...
Lol, I love animals especially dogs...
Yes 🥺
And vice versa
What I love the most if the fact that the bird has his wings intact and the dog is off leash. Meaning they love their human parents 💗
Some of those still photos were just extraordinary. What a pair!
Hey Laura
i love your vids
Try letting the parrot ride on the dogs back. Have They done that yet?
We have tried but Shelby is having none of it. She did land on his back once out on a walk and stayed there for about 1 second lol
Hi
Nice to see the parrot flying free outside. So many end up confined indoors.
Thank you so much. We love to spread awareness of the beauty of free flight
Awwww
It is never ok to keep a single bird. Birds need a bird partner of the same kind. When they're young it's very cute, but once they reach maturity it's very frustrating for them. In the best scenario they become neurotic and clingy, or they become sexual frustrated and aggressive. Either way this is no life for an animal that can live for decades.
Thank you. Firstly, i dont think it's good to encourage this irresponsible behaviour to public at large with dog too close, even if unintentional bite. As parrots get fatally injured by such incidents. It is the parrot, whose life is being risked here. I got an Amazon from a neighbor who passed away. I have had it for 14 years. He had it for 8. I dont know it's history. I would never buy parrots. I dont want to support nest thieves and breeding for a life of captivity. The amazon is happy as i give it liberty and it flies. But i do need to find some parrot friends, as it's just me. We have bonded. It flew away and came back. But risky when i am outside in yard or balcony a little bit, which it enjoys. I do need to find and follow a flock down south perhaps.
So dog and a parrot were living together in this house...
Yes 👏🏼
@@ShelbyTheMacaw i alluded to start of joke :D
Very heartwarming to see animals develop a friendship, it's really remarkable and very special.
Really great to see a free unkliped bird flying free and happy to return .Your good folks.
Bird
Bird is the word...
I'm going to be blunt and honest.
Mixing fur and feathers is not okay.
You may think it's cute, but it's unsafe, and incredibly irresponsible.
Mammalian saliva is toxic to parrots, a dog is a predator, and you think it's cute and that they're friends - but I've heard it all before, they're "friends" until instinct kicks in.
I have seen parrots with beaks ripped off, wings ripped open, feathers pulled out, bones broken, and worse still, DEAD, becuase of irresponsible owners allowing their dogs to mix with their parrots, and they all said the same thing "my dog/cat is fine with my bird, they're friends"
If you truly love your bird. Please do not try this at home. Thanks.
Thank you for sensible comment. I totally agree. Encouraging irresponsible behaviour to public at large, and as u mentioned many parrots fatally injured by dogs too close, even if unintentional bite. Also, thank you for letting me know about mammalian saliva. I will not chew up bread for my Amazon again!
@@raminkhajavi9513 this is what Google says about mammalian saliva:
Given that humans are mammals, the general consensus is that mammalian saliva potentially contains bacteria which may cause sepsis in the avian bloodstream. As such, most veterinarians and avian websites caution against allowing one's pet birds to come in contact with mammalian saliva and reference it as being toxic.
It is a small risk with human saliva, but still the risk is there.
@@piercedangel1623 i appr8 da info! And your sensibility!
If ever im feeling down or low...watching Videos like these bring me such joy. Every Animal is precious. Its a Blessing to be able to share our lives with them.🙏🏽🌈
A Very special relationship between all of you, together . I judge trust with a animal when they show their vulnerability by offering their unpretected bellies as a way of communicating that we're cool with one another. Different animals have different methods and different part's to show us. Always wise to know these important little indicators around animals , pet's and wildlife alike
The Shelby macaw channel promotes proper macaw care yet, a dog is such a danger not only because of there size but because there saliva is highly toxic to birds. They are so beautiful together however it will only take 1 slip up for things to turn sour. I hope this never happens but the risk is there.
People get so weird when anyone points out how stuff like this isn't cute, it's neglect. That first clip is just awful.
Blue macaws are actually a vulnerable species, people should not be buying them (or any other bird that is, they aren't supposed to be locked up for your pleasure)
Wow, I don't think I have seen so many falsehoods in a single sentence but let's deconstruct them. Lie 1; B&G macaws are a vulernable speces, while in reality they are classified as 'least concern'. Lie 2; Implication that a pet bird has an effect on the wild population, while in reality any animal on the CITES registration must be bred in captivity and has the relevant paperwork (in a civilized country) and Falsehood 3; you imply that many folks keep them locked up for their pleasure while in reality many people have free-flying uncaged birds.
I loveeee SEEING another blended family 💑✨✨✨🦜🦜🐶🐶‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Incredible!! Never saw this before but so wonderful to watch them both adjust to each other!!
Hey
How can you not LOVE a dog and parrot video?💗
I didn’t want this video to end! I want more footage! This is AMAZING and lovely at the same time.
IKR! Luckily, the owners of the macaw (Shelby) and the dog (Shadow) have their own channel called 'Shelby the macaw' where you can get more footage of these two!
I think this is the only YT chanel that I genuinely love to watch the vids everytime there's a new upload
They did not clip the parrots wings, that is just beautiful. 🤗
OMG, HOW PRECIOUS UR CHILDREN R♡♡♡♡ GOD BLESS U ALL, SENDING HUGGS N PRAYERS TO ALL ♡♡♡♡SUCH A PRECIOUS PAIR♡♡♡
OMGoodness ... That's just absolutely lovely !
Love it and it's too beautiful .
♥️♥️♥️♥️
When Shelby is flying and than coming back to her family it’s amazing.
What a FANTASTIC video. I love the photo of Shelby flying I front of Shadow. It is fun to watch Shadow chase Shelby as she flies.
That was cute how Shelby gave her Dad a hug with her wings.
Animal affection is wonderful.
Seeing them letting her outside to fly is the best
It's so cool to watch them interact. They developed their own body language.. a mixture of bird and dog. I love it!
@Allen Webber Yeah Dodo has an animal Odd Couple category of videos. Many shows and categories have the label of "odd couple." It's derived from this famous classic old tv series called, "The Odd Couple." It's based on 2 people who are completely different in every single way, but manage to form a friendship.
@Allen Webber I find it so fascinating too. Especially the fact that they took the behavior that each species shows when they are expressing love or contentment, and then dialed it back and blended it so that they don't hurt each other, yet they can still tell what each one is expressing.
@Allen Webber I completely agree!
What a beautiful story! These two & their relationship made my whole heart smile. What a wonderful atmosphere these two create for their Mom & Dad to live in every day - I would LOVE to wake up every day to them! I can only imagine how grateful this couple is to have the both of them as a pair & to get to watch them run & fly together, playing with each other must bring them so much joy! Thanks for sharing your story - what a treat! 😍💖👍🐾
Beautiful friendship only happening between two unique souls
