Owners make assumptions based on TH-cam videos which never show the work that needs to go into the birds, they assume their bird will talk and do tricks automatically, then it's, clip the birds wings to make it compliant. When the bird comes not doing the things people see on social media? The parrots either left caged or passed on 😢
That's actually where most behavioural problems come from. We see the same thing with many zoo animals, basically all farm animals, cats and dogs and even horses. The owners (often unknowingly) mistreat them and they don't get their basic needs fulfilled which then results in behavioural problems. Animals in the meat industry are terribly abused and no one seems to came. The turkeys are pecking each other? Let's cut their snoods and beaks! The horse is opening it's mouth? Let's tie it shut with a flash noseband. It doesn't matter that the turkeys are caged together by the hundreds with 24/7 bright lights and nothing to do, absolutely unable to perform normal behaviours. It doesn't matter that the horse is in pain, therefore opening it's mouth. People want quick solutions for THEIR problems, they don't care about the animals. I am glad this bird found a loving home!
@@DatBeautifulNightmare That is exactly the problem. Parrots are very difficult pets, people only see the cute tricks and talking but not about how destructive they are, noisy, moody, need a special diet, etc. They aren´t for everybody.
I agree and I love to hear it...however her kids are very young and most likely aren't old enough to understand the gravity of that choice yet so... 🤷♀️
This is a wonderful story and you are to be commended for your interaction with this beautiful bird! So many times people buy things without realizing the responsibility that goes along with that purchase. This bird was stuck in a cage for 7 years. You gave him back his life! God bless you for caring and thinking about his needs!
The little movements and how animals close their eyes when we pet them. They’re so precious. We gotta protect these guys, they can’t defend themselves from us.
Paco’s story made me cry, some people act like “it’s just a bird” they are so incredibly intelligent, sensitive and loving. Thank you, for being a loving mamma/family for him. ❤
Birds are incredible creatures and so clever , we have a family of seagulls living on the roof and watch their young every year as they grow and learn to fly , just by putting out water and food this family has been with us for about ten years . In the bushes next door lives a robin and he watches when I do the gardening and chatters away to me . Sparrows are so lively and funny . They are all great characters and add so much life to the garden . In a local park two Indian Ring Necks have escaped and fly around , it's such a pleasure to see them and hear them too as their call is very distinctive . There is a whole world of bird behavior and they are all unique and full of character .🙂
@@rexnemo That is absolutely lovely, they know they can trust you now. Robins have such a special meaning for me tbh My great grandfather used to say “If you see a robin make a wish because they are special” ❤️
@@RaineSophiaLewis That is so nice I bet your grandfather was really fond of robins , they are wonderful supervisors when I'm out digging the garden . Have a great weekend .🙂
@@rexnemoYou're so right, birds are so unique and awesome, full of character! I started helping sparrows to get through the winter with food and water 30 years ago, then titmouses... I have now on my daily feeding list - sparrows, titmouses, 3 crows and one magpie! 😅It's so rewarding when they come to me with their fledglings,they make me so happy!
This family is giving Paco an absolutely wonderful life. They're so gentle with him, they include him in everything & have helped him recover from his earlier mistreatment. Great video.
@@pigeonlove depend. Some birds like paco have no grown up long enough with members of a flock, or maybe they were kicked out, social pariahs are very much a thing in their lives. I had a parrot who was taken young and kept in a cage, never trusted any human before. He didn't much like being outside at first, but slowly it grew on him, but he'd still be scared of other birds and things like that. He has the free will to leave, like Paco, but he chooses this life, and so does Paco. Bird relationships with humans can be just as deep as with their own flock and, the same with any animal. We eventually got another parrot, and boy did she love going outside, talking to other birds and mocking their calls, and messing with her brother. She also could leave whenever she wanted, but she chooses to stay every day, because we are her flock, and she misses us and her brother.
No, birds need to be wild. Too many animals are being domesticated and they either can't breed, or can't look after their young. They will die sooner if too many humans keep interfering with nature.
I also rescued an amazon and im telling you they are amazing lil birds.. they are very loving and love the attention. they will keep your kids busy and they become a member of the family.
It's so frustrating when people keep these beautiful and intelligent birds in cages and clip their wings on top of that. Glad Paco wound up with a family that loves him and takes his physical and mental health so seriously.
I agree with you about those people that never let a parrot out of the cage. Aside from that, there’s good reason for clipping a parrots wings for safety purposes.
@@dakotap3008yes, but they clipped his wings from when he couldn’t even fly. That’s inhumane. Parrots and birds have wings to fly. Some can’t, because of health problems, but if the parrot is perfectly healthy, not letting them fly is torture.
@@lavenderiris9744 I’m speaking in terms of letting them fly wild where it poses a big risk to the parrot’s life and health. In addition to that, many owners have lost their beloved (unclipped) parrots when they accidentally left a window or door open, and were never to be seen again. That would be devastating and inhumane because it could have been avoided by taking precautions. For those that have the means and desire, an outdoor aviary would enable the parrot to fly while keeping it safe. Not everyone can do that. Alternatively, we do the best we can and give them the love and care they so rightfully deserve. And if part of that is clipping their wings, imo it’s not inhumane. It’s done out of love and wanting to keep them as safe as possible. I respect your opinion although ours differ. I understand the concept of wanting flight for birds, but I feel that needs to be balanced when it has to do with ownership and the responsibility that brings.
They live in a Roulette in a field by the forest. They have Paco and plans for his continued happiness in the future. THIS is a great family living a wonderful life.
PLEASE be careful when letting him out in the open! I know someone who used to ride his parrot on his shoulder. A large hawk was in a nearby tree and almost snatched the bird from the fellows shoulder! The bird lost a lot of feathers but was okay. He doesn’t do that anymore. Paco is gorgeous! Thank you for loving him! 🦜 ❤
That was exactly my thought!! If he has been caged for so long, can he even survive out in the open, especially from birds of prey. At least in a controlled and better environment he may thrive. I am happy to see him with his new family. I wish him many long years.
Yes, and my pet dove waited me over an open window many times but once he fly away. It was awful until good persons found him and I got him back home. He recovered with my another dove, first ate and drank water, then slept several days and nights and then recovered. Now I don't open windows much anymore. Love from me and my doves ❤❤❤
True . I used to do that with Skittles he use to sit on my shoulder until I stopped.I never let Petry try it because ain't no telling where she might take off to.
she's from NL (europe) and there are no hawks here. Above Sea we have some larger birds, but most of them are smaller, they maybe eat mice but that's it.
@JosVerrydt what are you talking about mate? Of course a bird can be beautiful. “Beautiful” is an adjective that can be used for anything one finds lovely
Awe, Beautiful Paco’s Guardian Angel brought Him to the most Loving, Kind-hearted Family and a Wonderful Forever-after Home, Bless Them 🥰🫶🏼🦜👩🏼🦱🧑🏼👱🏼♀️👱🏻♂️💞
At the 2:35 point I thought to myself "That kid knows the stuff of life", as he quietly and serenely takes in the landscape in an almost telepathic manor with his parrot friend.
as a 12 yr old kid who managed a Tropical Fish and Pet store in the 70's and FELL In LOVE with a few Parots in my Life! I "KNOW" just what a Joy! and Privilege it is to have them as GOOD FRIENDS! they went everyplace with us! No Problems, did work, chores, and Life together. RIP Wobbles, Buddy, Bugger, and Zazo!
Paco is enjoying what he deserves, freedom and a loving family ! Patience and trust !! Thanks for caring and sharing and God bless ! A great family unit ! Enjoy !!
There’s just such a positive energy from this family. Even the young children are so great with Paco. Truly gentle with him. I know he will thrive in their homes as well. ❤️
I'm really happy that Paco is in the care of such a loving family. They're so gentle with him. He looks content. Beautiful. I hope they have many more years to share.
Love that Paco has an incredible forever home. It is so beautiful to see other humans have true compassion for their feathered friends. He looks so happy and peaceful 💜🙏
I have only had 2 birds in nearly 35 years. Both were rescue. My first was a Mitered Conure and I think she was around 40-45 years old. What she died, i rescued my current Goffin cockatoo. I knew going into it that she was/is a plucker. It makes me so sad that I can't help her but I have trired everything. I just love her and assure her that this is her forever home. Thank you for rescuing your Paco.
Paco didn't have a behaviour problem, he had a natural reaction to an awful life. Thanks to this family for giving him a healthy life.

@@ChiIeboy
How rude.

It’s so loving and responsible to have a multi-generational plan for parrots .
A lot of tortoise owners do the same.

I hope so too.

Amazons can live to about 80. They show signs of age at about 50. Only the larger Macaws live over 100.

It's still a lonely life. Birds of a feather flock together. Let him choose a mate of his own species and he would forget people in an instant.

The PERFECT FAMILY adopted this Beautiful Boy. So happy they found each other.
Am always amazed how ALL animals understand kindness and care, and show their appreciation in many forms better than people. Love watching it.
True
Paco is a beautiful smart sweet bird. He is in a loving family. I hope Paco and his family have a happy life.
A bird with the best of two worlds. Freedom and love.
I love it when people understand that having a pet is a lifetime responsibility...the pets lifetime...and they uphold their end...
Paco is a beautiful and smart bird! I had no idea that parrots lived that long. Thanks for sharing.
The green boy is so wonderful and so lucky! He landed a great family that loves him!
Thank you for giving Paco a happy, loving home. ❤
I am so glad to see this parrot getting a chance to play and have fun with a great family.
So happy this angel saved this beautiful bird 😢❤❤❤

I'm sure its not just my opinion but i feel like birds are severely under-rated. They have quickly become my favorite animals I love them

Thank you for rescuing your Paco.
Thank you for adopting your Goffin cockatoo and giving him a good and beloved life! I wish you both the best!
This is beautiful !!!!!!! All birds should have such freedom. Amazing !!! Love and respect are the needed elements.
There are pros and cons. Where I live has a lot of hawks. There is a risk to letting birds fly free.
