    My baby 'too is now 48 years old. I got my boy when he was 6 weeks old. The sad fact is he will outlive me. I have saved up an account for him and already talked to a sanctuary where he can live out his life in joy. I am so worried about him after I'm gone. I am 70 now and he will live another 30 or more years. Maybe I will. I hope so, so that my friend won't be alone

    This woman isn't just a typical pet owner. She's practically a zookeeper. She gives these birds the love and attention that a trained and dedicated zookeeper would provide. Only very rare and dedicated pet owners would go to these lengths to provide not just what the animal needs to live, but what the animal needs to THRIVE. She has done that sooo much here. This bird is better cared for than some peoples' kids. I know a lot of kids growing up who didn't have their own room. And I sure as heck never got to chew on the drywall to my heart's content. So jealous about that one!

    Thank you for understanding Grumpy and letting him be a bird! I work at a large exotic bird sanctuary and people actually open windows and let birds go because they don’t understand them, cannot cope with them anymore. These animals are not things to ‘get rid’ of. Humans put them in a position that is not natural, and it’s unforgivable. Please adopt, don’t shop.

      OMG! How cruel. It takes incredible commitment to have a bird, especially a parrot/cockatoo. When I was researching my report about bird smuggling a huge cockatoo fell in love with me. It was an amazing experience. I would have given anything to adopt him, but I lived in a small apartment in NYC. It wasn't at all what he needed. It was so hard to walk away from him. I still think about him and hope he went to another person he fell in love with.
      I know that a lot of people watch videos like this on TH-cam and say they want a bird like that one. I'm always grateful to their humans when they explain the complications that come with them. Showing the chewed up room was a perfect warning.

    Many years ago, I was in the USN and one of the girls had a pair of *lovebirds*. She got drunk and decided to "throw them out". Before we could stop her they were gone! We were so worried because they weren't used to fending for themselves. Then someone saw them on the roof so we climbed up and threw a sheet over hem. Whew! They were okay but we wouldn't give them back to the owner instead we pulled our money to buy their cage and supplies.
    Fortunately another friend had birds before and was thrilled to get them. Some people should never buy any animal they don't want to give 100% care animals are NOT toys you can throw away!

    I grew up with parrots. I know how smart and loving they are. I had one that would guard me when I was sleeping at around 13. My mom would try to wake me up for school and my bird (Joe) would attack her, so she had to crack the door open to try to get me up. She was my guardian angel when I was sleeping. I am now 40 and she is been gone for a while now. So I hope she still is my guardian. I thought she was a boy at first so I named her Joe. I eventually learned she was a girl. I think about her all the time. She was abused before me so it was amazing how affectionate and calm she became. Just couldn’t be next to a broom because she used to attack anyone if they had one LOL. I’m sure that’s courtesy of her nasty owners before me. She wanted nobody but me. She definitely saw me as her mate and she eventually laid eggs. She was so cute. She would take my hand and try to make me pet the eggs. She had very slow deliberate actions about it. I was so sad that I had to remove the eggs that were clearly empty because she did not have any other birds as company at that point in my life. I cried so much when she passed. It amazes me that so many people don’t know how amazing birds can be.

    My baby is 25 years old, I’ve had her since she was 7 months old. She is a Moluccan cockatoo who should live to be in her 80’s. However, last year she was diagnosed with a terminal joint degenerative disease as well as some bone cancer cells. She is on Celebrex for life, and her daddy and I have decided not to put her through any more invasive surgeries and biopsies with long recovery times, as well as likely amputations (left wing, right foot). We can’t do that to her. We don’t think that she would be happy, we do not think that would be “her”, we do not think she would choose it for herself. So we’ve been keeping a super close eye on her (I work from home), with a focus on keeping her comfortable, getting smaller and softer toys for her to play with, and keep the floor of her cage covered in puppy pads with Terry cloth towels underneath, as she now falls off of her perch frequently during the night. So I do the best I can for her, and I hope she knows that and how much I love her always. I used to think of who in my family would inherit my Cleo, but now I find myself just hoping she has a good day. … and I hope all of you birdie owners have many MANY wonderful fun days with your feathered companions! ♥️

      I think you guys are right to prioritize her quality of life over the length of her life.
      My great aunt and uncle love cats, and they've paid tens of thousands of dollars getting expensive surgeries for their various cats over the years. Then a few years ago my great aunt had to go through intense chemo, and surgeries for breast cancer. Even though she's in remission she has a lot of issues to deal with (ie. nerve damage in her limbs to the point where she can't walk). Chemo was really rough on her.
      One of their cats got cancer recently, and instead of putting him through chemo like they would normally have done, they decided to just give him the best life possible until the vet tells them he's suffering and should be put down. I think it's because they know now how frightening and intense these medical procedures are, and don't want to put their beloved cats through the same thing!

      @@robinlillian9471 A parent still has a responsibility to improve the capacity of their child to make better decisions and be a better person, though.
      I'm aware that pet ownership isn't 1:1 with having a child, but it's similar in the way that it _is_ better to have the parent in charge of the majority of things. However, the child can't learn to be more mature or well-behaved in the absence of enforcement if they're not allowed to make decisions for themself. A parent can't critique or correct bad behavior on the right foundations unless they understand the point of view of their child, however unreasonable or absurd to them it may appear.
      I think that every benevolent power dynamic ought to work in this same sort of nurturing, freedom-granting capacity. Most power dynamics aren't benevolent, however, and I've come to believe that the reason for this is because the governor has no meaningful mechanism to be held accountable by the governed. Understanding the point of view of those with less power is just the first step in learning how to be just, and I firmly believe that this carries over into both parenting and pet ownership.
