So beautiful see them in the wild where they can do what they want. They can have loud conversations with each other, fly from tree to tree, hang out with each other. Thank you! I enjoyed this so much.
We rescued our cockatoo when the bird's owner was dying of cancer, in the end she was more concerned about the birds welfare than her own. That was more than 10 years ago.
He is quite a character and loves being carried outside in the wind and sun. I wish I had the resources to visit those places in Indonesia where they fly free. But in the meantime the bird and I watch and listen to the wild birds on the video which we both appreciate.
Awwh, bless you! :)
I know I'm replying to a six year old message but if you see this, THANK YOU for saving that bird. I hope you are both doing well. You did a truly wonderful thing.
What amazes me the most is that more than one person has watched them, listened to those screeching sounds and said "I want THAT in my home". xP
They are beautiful creatures but I would never have one in my house.
you have to meet them in person to understand why, their character is what sells them.
They can put out as many decibels as a 747 jet engine. Proper care and training can reduce the “screaming”. I obtained mine when someone asked me to watch him for two weeks. In the meantime, they moved with no contact information! Dexter has integrated himself into my home AND community (all my neighbours love listening to him when he can go outside!)
There are parrots living in San Francisco, California, who either escaped or were released by their owners. They hang out together. A poor man made friends with them. A book has been written about these parrots who are wild again. I have never seen them in person. I am not sure what part of the city they live in.
Gorgeous.....so beautiful....living in the wild...
This is awesome and makes me cry - I have a moluccan and I worry all the time what will happen when I'm gone. These birds should never be in a cage. Bad enough if they are hatched in captivity but cannot imagine someone capturing the wild cockatoo and putting it in a cage for the rest of its life. Sad. Thanks for the video and all that you do.
ginnylrunyan please make plans for your birds future. If you don't know of anyone who can provide a home, contact an avian rescue in your area. They can help you meet someone who can step and take your bird in the event of your death.
I have two umbrellas I spend every minute with. I can't imagine my life without them. I wish people realized that having one of these birds is no less responsibility then adopting a child . that was a good video . but it definitely made me sad for what these birds go threw.
Robert an Sherry Bailey I hope you've made arrangements for their continued care in case of your death. These birds often end up in rescues because they outlive their owners. They can live up to 80+ years. Please make sure they have a home to go to. I have a 22 year old right now that I adopted from rescue because her person passed away. The person that inherited the bird was unable to properly care for her and she ended up neglected while the woman was hospitalized. So I try to make sure other bird parents make sure they have a plan in place for they birds to go to healthy long term homes. If you've already planned for this, I thank you and hope you'll add press the message.
@@Cent4man yes we have decided to give up our birds to a local bird park that has a good natural environment for them and controlled breeding programs for them, thats when we very old though not now...i wont give up my goffin right now..he is my friend and o spend alot of time with him each day
I had no idea there is a population established in Hawaii. Several years ago, one of my friends was able to trace her 40 year old wild caught Moluccan to its original tribe by his dialect. She was going to try to re integrate him but the area broke out in civil unrest and his tribe was wiped out or disappeared.
Sad
Its sad, the fate of these birds seems to be similar to the Moluccan people.
You literally follow the extremely loud screaming and there you go, there's the birds to study
I adopted an 11 year Old (now 16) Moluccan Cockatoo hence my finding this site to learn more of them in the wild. I love her dearly & as some1 else said of their birds, cannot imagine life without her, so thank you for posting this. She is not a "pet" she's a beloved member of our family (I havent ever had a "pet") I wish to do what I can to help in the wild populations & improve the life of my dear one. I have many ideas how to do this so Im grateful for any info that lead me in the right direction. As it stands now my parrot travels with me & enjoys being out & around nature as well as having a safe home with me. She is domestic bread & I believe not even learned to fly. I am trying to rectify this as well as well as having her around other birds. She is doing very well, thankfully she wasnt in the rescue very long when I found her. We bonded in a few weeks & it like we been together her whole life & I want the best life I can give her. She loves to travel & meet new people & see new places, she loves to bike ride & listen to music & big parks where she can be around other animals, seeing & hearing them around her. When we travel it afford me the opportunity to share & show people about animal adoptions & misconceived notions about these wondrous little souls She isnt a great flyer but we are working on this. I woulds love to adopt another as a sibling & to extend my heart to another captive breed bird & Im sure she would love another of her kind around too. There are 2 parrots in particular I wish to find but for now Ill do what I can til opportunity is afforded me. So to all who came here too learn more of these gorgeous beings in their natural state & care for those breed in captivity & wish to give them a wonderful albeit "captive" life or aid those who protect/aid them in the wild I say Thank you & God's speed This is my greatest wish for all animals & has been my entire life, thankfully its something even age cannot prevent in me :) Take care :)
That's wonderful!

I raised my hand-fed baby Moluccan Serum Salmon Crested Cockatoo. Her mother was dumped on my doorstep by a woman who was gifted the bird, knew nothing about the breed, and didn't want her . Took me six moths to calm her down from being terrorized within her cage. Then after 7 years the mother began mating behavior and I needed to find her a mate. From San Fransisco to San Diego I drove with my mother bird sitting on the passenger car seat back. I was compelled to trade my mother bird and give her up in order to get one of her eggs. Two months later I flew down and picked up my baby pin-feather Salmon Crested. Raised her for 5 months on warm formula until weaning to seeds and veggies. She went with me everywhere. Hiking, walking, gardening, and to occasional parties. These birds can live 100 years if you take care of them and will them, at your death, to responsible humans. They NEED you like a four year old human needs its parents. Do not disappoint these parrots.
Disgusting! You should NEVER have bred her (clearly you knew better) as there are far, far to many of these Cockatoos in rescurs and sanctuaries - far more birds than homes - and to TRADE the mother to get a baby? You shouldn't be allowed to have pets. Just disgusting and heartbreaking. You essentially sold her to used in a brothel like a brood mare. They're often killed by a more aggressive mate. You completely betrayed your "pet"... just disgusting. And use the past tense ," she went with me" about the baby so it would seem you passed that bird on as well. Horrible. Though I imagine the bird is better off being anywhere other than in your irresponsible hands.
Here in Maluku, we count them as one of our Birds of Paradise, they are part of our childrens songs and myths they are ancient as old as the rainforest, and they inherit great knowledge from the past. I pray every single one of them finds a respected and loving home.. Our land is being tormented by occupying Indonesian forces that want to get rid of the people and take the land for soy plantations.. We MUST learn the rich history of these birds to save their homeland as well as the indigenous people that aim to protect them.
I love the short appearance by those goffins
Very beautiful, beautifully done, I have an umbrella cockatoo and it is wonderful to think of this birds ancestors flying free.
So precious and beautiful to see them in their natural habitat being able to fly free and be with other birds! ❤️ They should all be this way! ❤️❤️❤️ It breaks my heart to know that people just capture them from their habitat for the pet trade, imagine how scared they must feel! To be living your life and some monster captures you and takes you somewhere from everything you know 😢😢😢😢
This is the only way for me to experience these birds. They are neat
I see the Philippine Cockatoo from my porch in flocks up to 45 birds. They land in the tree to feed next to my apartment window. Wild cockatoos are great to see.
She said they were shy creatures ! She hasn't seen Eric!
The Legend sure isn’t shy! 😂
Love this documentary.. Love the way you presented.. Hats off 💓💓💓💓💓
It's not like they actually want to hurt them (apart from a probably very few exceptions). Neglect and improper care can occur despite the best intentions however. Noone should own a pet without the knowlege and ability to take care of them!
Wow, this is stunning! I hope to visit this project some day. Can't wait for the whole DVD to be made available in Australia!
Omg goffin cockatoos!
Thanks a lot for such nice video, I can not wait to see all movie! I would like to adopt a parrot, but in Japan this is too difficult ;(
I love moluccans. I don't think it's cruel to keep them as pets if you can afford to provide them with the time and attention outside of the cage everyday and a large aviary full of toys for them to chew on. Without this, no one should ever get a moluccan, or any cockatoo for that matter
Best toys for them are non battery baby toys I buy at the local secondhand store. Run them through the dishwasher and they’re safe for those super destructive beaks!
Cardboard boxes
Thank you for posting this I just adore cockatoos and all your videos
Awsome Video, as well as all videos from you. Love videos and PARROTS!!!! Thank you for posting.
what a beautiful bird !!!👌💕💕💕💕
growing up with a mollucan (which is still with me) i cannot emphasize enough that these birds should be left in the wild. putting a creature of this calliber in a cage is unusually cruel. OWNING ONE OF THESE PARROTS WILL BRING SUFFURING TO BOTH YOU AND THE BIRD. dont get me wrong; mollucans are the sweetest birds you will ever meet. but they dont do well in a cage.
We need to save the Umbrella Cockatoo they are endangered
if i could i would return my male goffin cockatoo back to his tribe but we too far away in South Africa but he lives a good life with is
And since he was probably "created" by a breeder, he can't be "returned" to the wild -- he wouldn't know what to do and would not survive. :( Glad he is happy with you! :)
this is where they belong
YES!!!
No.
No
Ok then where do they belong?
@Baldhina Asnake my question was rhetorical
I love listening to their outside voice lol
Amen!
This is where they belong. We humans are neither equipped nor eligible to handle them. Please don't ruin their lives by trading them into extinction.
Agreed 100%
beutiful, every dream i have fro my m2 and my harliquin macaw, look up macaw betty, nad cockatoo goliath and geronimo, the my m2 got lucky and got me but his foru siblings are in shelters last i heard. my macaw is a miraclw story, i would love to have your life where my babies could be free and only captured on camera, nice job, im kris bettys mom
I wonder what percentage of these Cockatoos sold for pets end up essentially warehoused in overcrowded parrot shelters and "sanctuaries"? I'm guessing 90% Utterly heartbreaking.
Hello, I hope you still reply
I wanted to know the name of the grad student mentioned in Hawaii, please
I am concerned about the escaped birds. I believe they will be a possible problem when any species is introduced purposefully or accidentally in a country where they would not exist in nature. These are wonderful creatures but can be destructive in foreign lands. The people who set them free in sanfrancisco can cause major issues. So ignorant. I do love the idea of these creatures being free but ....
Cannot really do anything about it; too many irresponsible people in this world. Just wish them safety and happiness!
It is so painful to have to hear that these birds are "Indonesian" Maluku is its own country.. It is OCCUPIED ILLEGALY BY THE REPUBLIC INDONESIA..
I thought they were only native to Australia? Were they introduced to Hawaii?
Moluccan Cockatoos are native in Indonesia. The ones in Hawaii are escapees or birds that people just let go. :(
These creatures should only be in the wild, not in cages or inside a home. That is how God created them.
I don't think that's what "Antisocialist" meant.
Mine is a rescue. She was never wild. She was born in captivity. He original person died and the people she was left to were unable to care for her properly. As a result, she started pulling out her feathers. Now she can't fly. She has never learned to hunt or forage for herself. She wouldn't know how to protect herself from predators. Should I fly her to Indonesia and just toss her to the wild? She wouldn't live through the week. She is bonded to me. I'm all she knows now. She would not understand why momma abandoned her. These birds have the intelligence of a 4 to 5 year old child. They understand where home is. They know who family members are. They know who their person is and they grieve when they lose that person. They can live up to 80 years old so they quite often out live their first owners. This means many times they will end up in rescues. If they are lucky, someone like me will get them and they get a second living family. It takes a long time for them to adjust but, they are very loving and they want to be loved. Cockatoos are the most affectionate of all wild birds. They need a lot of attention. They are litteraly velcro birds. So imagine how traumatic it would be to take a hand raised bird like that, after 22 years in a home, and just abandon her in the wild. No, the wild ones do need to stay wild. They do need to quit captive breeding for pets and the pets should remain pets.
@@Cent4man Perfectly said.
