Cockatoos, like any bird, requires a lot of attention, love, and patience. Just know, having a cockatoo is like having a 2 year old toddler who stays that age forever. 😊
It brings up a lot of questions about what is ideal and ethical. I know a lot of animals, parrots and otherwise, end up in horrible situations after relatives resolve the estate.
I worked in a store that sold parrots when I was a teenager. I purchased a cockatoo and ended up not being able to care for it properly. He needed loads of attention that I didn't provide. In my twenties I made the difficult decision to send him to a rescue. The last I heard from his caretaker he had a girlfriend and partner in crime. I want people to understand large birds are a lot of work and bringing one into your home is a lifelong reasonability.
Most parrot owners don't develop this level of bond, which is unfortunate. There are a myriad of factors. But, when the bird feels that you are indeed their family, a lot of them can be this close and trusting and seek out prolonged contact. I wish it were more common, because I know that there are statistically more birds that would want this kind of relationship.
@@carolinemaja2199 Iam a police officer you should be reported for bird abuse it is a crime so if you abuse a bird be prepared to spend some time in jail.
I love the realness of her home. You can see a pile of unfolded clothes (1:14) on a loveseat. This is how real ppl live! She could've named her cockatoo Hopper instead of Casper and that still works too! This woman definitely has her hands full with 6 big birds, 4 teens, a full time job as a peds nurse, and two cats! WOW!!
@@thatcanadiangrandma c'mon. You've made an effort to get offended. This is clearly not what they meant. Also a pile of unfolded clothes is NOT a dirty or unordered house. Like at all. Talk about unrealistic expectations
They are sooo intelligent..I have 4 now for 30 yrs. Please anyone who is considering a big bird… they live for 40,50 or more yrs. And they need forever homes… forever….
Amazing? No. She's not doing all that without help and she's not being effective or efficient to all those demands. To claim otherwise is just fantasy.
I used to care for a mealy amazon that would watch you eat and ask "is that good?" If you gave him a taste and he liked it, he'd say "that's good!" if he didn't like it, "that's NOT good!"
Honestly, I wish this video lasted for hours. Your birds are enchanting and you’ve created such a beautiful bond but your kitty seems unimpressed. Thank you for sharing 💗🤍💖.
@@xpndblhero5170 All I know is light coffee has more caffeine than dark but anyone can opt to mix decaf w/ regular and only have one cup or go totally decaf. I prefer many cups of full caffeine 😎😁
Hi Violet....Like you, it takes many cups of strong caffeinated cups, & I don't exactly know how healthy this is, but I now take 1-1/2 caffeine pills with my first morning coffee to help me keep on my feet... *: )*
Love watching bird videos even though I couldn't deal with one on an everyday basis. Takes a special person to take on this kind of responsibility. I'm glad Casper found such a loving home.
I am just fascinated with birds & their capacity to love & learn. The birds that end up with this sweet lady are lucky for sure! I LOVE when I see people take their birds outside to fly "free"....i can't help but think that the first several times are nerve wracking though! "Please come back!" 😍😍😍
I'm glad there are people like this lady.If not these birds would live in horrible conditions at least these bird have a good home and are loved very much.
We adopted a 36 year old sulphar crested a little over a year ago. She bonded with my partner instantly! This is amazing because she was left outside in a small small cage for 36 years. She should be nasty and crazy but she’s only that way towards me 🤣 My partner is her partner and I’m considered a threat. The love my other half has for this bird is beautiful ❤️
That’s got to be so challenging!!!!! I was dive bombed by a boyfriend’s cockatoo and I adore everything, so was saddened by this reality despite respecting her nature and boundaries .
You are a very tolerant partner and wonderful of you to care about this bird-child... It's not fun being the other woman and the wicked stepmother all in one! Kudos.
Casper and Shiloh are both beautiful, and so funny 💕💕💕 Instead of "velcro birds" I call my birds "possum babies" because they all, always want to be clinging on "mom" (me). Love 'em!!
This lovely human passes every test of love, kindness & decency. So wonderful to see & actually feel the love & happiness in that multi species family.💞 Thanks so much for sharing❣️
What an adorable bird. The other one is beautiful with the red feathers. We once visited people and their cockatoo would climb onto your lap, then it wanted a head scratch. And you were not allowed to stop. 😊
Oh my Casper is so funny,hilarious,beyond adorable.........gosh I would love him to pieces too.........I can’t stop watching him.......you are lucky to have him
Ohhhh! Soooo nice to see you let them fly!! 💜💜 That's the saddest part of seeing birds kept as pets....usually, they never get to fly.....which is what a bird is designed to do! She's a character alright! 😅 Thank you for being such a good mum
I’m in Australia and I have these Cockatoos visit me, as well as Little-Corellas, Rainbow Lorikeets, Magpies and the regular family of dawn and dusk Kookaburras. Your beautiful birds are so happy and it’s wonderful to observe your bond with each of them. I hope that one day you and your family could visit Australia. To see big flocks of wild Sulphur Crested Cockatoos flying overhead, and to HEAR them, is an absolutely beautiful experience. Thanks for sharing your birds in this video, much appreciated. Take care.
Little angel 💕 bless u and family ❤️animals deserve ALL the love we can possibly give them it's why we are here, with our hands we can help all of them, 💕❤️
Apart from the fact that she is very cute, and you have a stunning relationship with her. Casper is the healthiest pet cockatoo I've ever seen, your doing so many thing right with your babies. Best beak I have ever seen.
I love cockatoos. I have 3 umbrella cockatoos and they are quite the trio. I call them my tag team demolition trio. I’ve have them all for over 30 years now. They are all shrieks and cuddles and can get into anything. They are a lot of work but I adore them.
I'm so happy you chose to take in Casper. I hear so many sad stories of parrots being transferred all over in their lifetime and not all have happy endings. So thank you 💕 for the love you give.
Imprinting is simply amazing. And the bond definitely goes both ways. I have and had imprinted ducks, and the joy we have together is truly something special. Thoroughly enjoyed seeing Casper's story. She is a true character.
Your babies almost seem to have the best of both worlds; given that you let them fly outside. This is always my goal with my rescued furred and feathered babies. Thank you so much for giving them your love, your home, and a great life!
Cockatoos, like any bird, requires a lot of attention, love, and patience. Just know, having a cockatoo is like having a 2 year old toddler who stays that age forever. 😊
And will likely outlive their human.
It brings up a lot of questions about what is ideal and ethical. I know a lot of animals, parrots and otherwise, end up in horrible situations after relatives resolve the estate.
For me living in Australia I see cockatoos all the time so it's strange for me to see them as pets.

Lol im saying 😎
I am floored by this woman. A career, teenage kids, and some of the most demanding animal companions. How in the world does she do it?
I don't know either! And there's no complaining at all! Cool lady!
She is a woman, that's how! Multitasker. 👍
@@adamarcher3350 pfff, its her character, not her vagina..what a stupid comment
At least she is Happy 🤗 & surrounded by Love 💝 They will learn Alot & never be bored 🥴Amazing lady - magnificent 🐦
That is awesome! She is the happiest woman in the world, I think,that lives the happiest life on her own, surrendered by love from any side!
Remarkable bond.
Loved how she sat on your head the whole time.
That among many moments, was adorable 🥰

@@IceHibiscus they are demanding . And live long ! Lol
She looks like a puffy white cloud absolutely beautiful bird ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️..
Eonder about that in some years, when the kids all grown and silece in the house.
She looks like a ball of fluff.

4 Teenagers, Full Career, and has the time AND Energy to take care of several birds and other pets...
Amazing. No other word. She is simply Amazing!

Nurses are a different breed. Really appreciate your household and what you do. Better to watch it, than to live it.

Agreed!!! 💛💛💛
she has more energy than me, and i don't drink coffee.
Try blonde coffee...

Birds definitely are fragile creatures. She loves her mama 💕
What a personality! Casper is so cute! 😍
This girl is special and she deserves to be loved and spoiled. This girl is so special ❤️❤️❤️
What an adorable popcorn floof Casper is! 😆😍😘😘😘 she's full of sass and smarts I love it. And spoiled rotten and she knows it. LOL... Too cute. 🤗

I’d never do that with my parrot - those people are crazy. If your bird takes off, it’s a death sentence!
@@anti-ethniccleansing465 The people I've seen do that have a way work up to it-- and it sounds as if this woman is doing that, too.
She could not live in.an appartement she is Lucky To HAVE this family. Good for her
I'm glad there are people like this lady.If not these birds would live in horrible conditions at least these bird have a good home and are loved very much.
Wow
What an amazing character!
Love her so much and bless the family for their devotion and love towards these feather babies.
💗❤️💜
Those are the healthiest birds have ever seen. Feet .beak ,eyes , mind. feathers. Good job.

Casper is so cute 😁
So beautiful and amazing! Lol
I love her so so much! Lol
So beautiful with so much out of control personality, what a riot!
The way Casper naps in your lap is just totally sweet. Her eyes are closed, she loves her mama !!!
Great example of a magical interspecies relationship. I agree that the human/bird bond is very special.
She’s more energetic than my parrot and I love it 🥰
Casper and Shiloh are both beautiful, and so funny 💕💕💕 Instead of "velcro birds" I call my birds "possum babies" because they all, always want to be clinging on "mom" (me). Love 'em!!

Best bird mom ever!
Great flock! We nurses rescue anything. My lodge is overrun with critters. They need us. 💕💕💕🌸🌸🌸
I have NEVER saw a bird smile until I saw Casper!! 😍🥰❤️
Not sure how you see smile
How cute is this bird!❤️❤️
The way she snuggles and sleeps on you melts my heart so beautiful ❤

Cockatoo’s are the cuddliest and sweetest birds in the bird kingdom. And she’s the perfect example of that ♥️
You've never been bitten by one, I'm guessing.
The cuddles are my favourite part of this 🥰🥰🥰🥰
2:15 tell me what the doctor said! lol i loved that!
SUPER SMART & SWEET BIRDIES!!
The relationship is wonderful ❤️
LOLOL, sounded like she told you to "get bleeped" lolol, what a sweetheart!
Best cuddle with a bird❣Two lucky ladies.
❤️❤️❤️

She's adorable!🥰♥️😍 I want one!
Casper is a character! 🥸🤣🥰
I love your family! I'm so glad she found you and you found her!
That was amazing !! I've had birds most of my life and people just don't understand how you can form bonds with birds, but, you can.
luckily there are people like you who form a loving bond with animals, this is wonderful to see.

I didn't know birds were so affectionate. Love how the cats were afraid of them; I am sure our cats would eat the pretty birds.
What a total cutie!! All ur babies r adorable!!😊🥰
