About 4 years ago my parents adopted a baby Sulphur Crested Cockatoo, he loved me and my dad but absolutely hated mum. He was so tame and could sing the song 'perfect' he enjoyed hugs. Unfortunately he got caught in his cage and we found him dehydrated. I loved him so much, I'll never forget him. I have a pet cockatiel called Bert now and he is just as tame. It takes a lot of patience to have parrots and I do understand your comments, they can bite fingers off with ease, if not handled properly.
Sorry about your Cockatoo. I have cried more than when some of my pet dogs have died than when my family members have died. If humans could be just 1% like animals then the world be a better place. You might like this. th-cam.com/video/7rfGEtALHYs/w-d-xo.html
I can't believe how intelligent they are. They are so funny, it's true they stick with one person more than others I love to watch them dance to the music, they really crack me up thanks for the show❤

These birds are ornery, cantankerous. "Groucho" has several songs but no one will know which is going to "pop" out. Hats off to the caretakers. A lot of work is behind this!
Amazons can actually live for up to 85 years. The Amazons live the longest of all other parrots. Africa Grey's can live to be 50 years as well as McCaws. I moved out of my parents house are age 13 and I had always wanted a parrot. It took me a few years of training wild caught birds. That's not the easiest thing to do. I'm now 51 and have a Yellow Naped Amazon Parrot. Her name is Larry Bird and she's 15 years old. She sings many songs, I'm opera and I change the lyrics to make the song about birds. I have a 22 yr old girl, that Larry loves and so Larry will be willed down to her.
Hyacinths can live to be 90, same with other macaws. Other larger parrots also can live as long as amazons, such as cockatoos and grays, but you usually only find that in captivity where they aren't getting eaten by predators or sick from bad foods. Like humans, it all depends on the individual. We had a rather large collection of books on parrots in our library, sadly, when we got divorced, my wife wanted the books, so I just gave her what she wanted. So I don't have sources for my information. But you can probably find the information on parrot longevity in any major library.
They are called «Macaws», not «McCaws». Their name isn’t a European sirname. From a dictionary: «macaw (n.) species of large, long-tailed American parrots, 1660s, from Portuguese macau, from a word in a Brazilian language, perhaps Tupi macavuana, which may be the name of a type of palm tree the fruit of which the birds eat.» 🤗
I was looking for interviews to practice some voiceover editing, I can't believe I found this...!! It is the craziest and most sweetest thing I have ever seen!
She was on Ellen with a parrot name keto but it didn't go so well, you guys should look that performance up it was sooooo funny. The bird was like NOT TODAY. LOL
All of you guys complaining about her talking, her podcast is about education, hence the discussion with the handler. The parrot cannot tell you about his diet and his daily life as a show bird.
I had a yellow crown amazon. I spent most of my time laughing my butt off. They ARE very particular about who they like, Mine didn't like WOMEN!! She was around MEN all the time. SHE got spoiled. If a woman showed up she was Dr Jekyl and Mr Hyde. BRAT!!!
I like how he said to the handler that she was a silly goose 🤣
I can’t believe such a talented performer works for peanuts.
🤣
Literally!

He’s a blue collar worker. I can relate.
Have you seen how Mc Donalds pays their staff ?
He speak so clear. I can understand every word. He is a beautiful and very intelligent bird. A tip for the next vid. Let him do the talking.

You loved him...... hmm sounds doubtful if you let him die how long did you leave him for
How long was he alone caught in his cage before anyone found him, I wonder????
Found this in my recommended... not disappointed. Well done TH-cam, very cool.
"What a silly goose you are!" 🤣🤣
I was blessed to see Groucho at SF TX many years ago. Sure wish they still had the birds of the wild show.
They reckon that Parrots and Macaus have incredible amounts of intelligence. As well as great memories.🥰👏👍

Very entertaining and very smart, Groucho. Please upload more videos of Groucho.
The handler is talking a lot for the audience. They have commercials. Beautiful smart bird and handler.

Where did you get your info from? Cockatoos can like 90+ macaws can like about the same! Please do some research before sounding like a dick head
They are called «Macaws», not «McCaws». Their name isn’t a European sirname. From a dictionary:
«macaw (n.)
species of large, long-tailed American parrots, 1660s, from Portuguese macau, from a word in a Brazilian language, perhaps Tupi macavuana, which may be the name of a type of palm tree the fruit of which the birds eat.» 🤗
@@haydendefazio1555 - That cockatoos live to be 90+, is for the most part a myth. You said: «Cockatoos can like 90+» which doesn’t make much sense, but I’m guessing that you tried to say «Cockatoos can live to be 90+ years and Macaws...». You asked others for the source of their information, but you did not give a source for your information. Who is the source for your information/claims?
From The Spruce Pets by Dr. Lianne McLeod (Veterinarian):
«Blue-fronted Amazon (Amazona aestiva), also called the Turquoise-fronted Amazon and Blue-fronted Parrot, is a South American species of Amazon parrot and one of the most common Amazon parrots kept in captivity as a pet or companion parrot.

Parrots comprise a group of birds that includes 279 different species. They vary in size from small birds that can fit in the palm of your hand to large birds the size of a cat and their lifespans are just as variable.
Pet birds can live for quite a long time. Potential owners need to be aware of the longevity of their bird so they can be prepared to provide proper care for them for as long as they live.
Average Lifespan of Parrots
Parrots are special among pet birds because many species have the potential to be with you for your entire life. They also often outlive their owners. Parrots usually live longer in captivity than in the wild because they are less likely to encounter predators and disease while living in a home. That, however, doesn't mean they are exempt from illness and shortened lifespans.
As a general rule, the larger the bird, the longer the expected lifespan is. Listed below are some estimated lifespans for common parrots and other pet birds. These are, of course, based on a healthy bird kept under ideal conditions. In reality, there is a wide range in the age that pet birds might reach and certainly, some will live longer (or shorter amounts of time) than the ages listed.
African Gray Parrots
40 to 60 years, or more
Amazon Parrots
25 to 75 years
Budgerigars (Parakeets)
5 to 18 years
Caiques
Up to 50 years
Canaries
10 years
Cockatiels
10 to 15 years
Cockatoos
20 to 60 years, depending on the species
Conures
10 to 30 years, depending on the species
Doves
20 years or more (in the wild it is only about 1 1/2 years)
Eclectus Parrots
30 to 50 years, or more
Finches
Typically 5 to 9 years but it can be longer if housed in an aviary
Lorikeets (Lories)
10 to 30 years
Lovebirds
10 to 15 years
Macaws
30 to 50 years, or more, depending on the species
Pigeons
15 years (in the wild it is only about 5 years)
Senegal Parrots
Up to 50 years (in the wild it is only about 25 years)
Pionus Parrots 25 years
Parrot Lifespan Factors
The most common factors that affect a parrot's life are nutrition, veterinary care, and mental health.
Your parrot will thrive if you provide them with a secure and clean enclosure with plenty of space to climb and spread their wings. They should also get lots of natural sunlight or full-spectrum lighting (rather than artificial light alone) as it will allow them to better process nutrients and establish an appropriate day/night cycle for their mental well being.
Some birds should also be housed with other birds since they are a flock species. Humans cannot take the place of another bird, no matter how hard we try.
If you are purchasing a pet bird, make sure to choose one from a trustworthy breeder. They should be able to provide you with health information on the bird's parents since genetics are also a factor in longevity.
Giving your parrot an appropriate diet will also help keep it healthy and prevent disease. A well-rounded diet includes pellets, grains, seeds, nuts, and fresh fruits and vegetables. A balance of vitamins, protein, fats, and minerals (such as calcium from sources like boiled eggshells) is critical in maintaining a bird's health and longevity.
Giving a bird a diet that consists mainly of sunflower seeds (which birds love) is one of the worst things you can do. These contain high levels of fat and very few nutrients.
Famous Old Parrots
While many individual parrots have lived a considerably long time, a couple became very well-known for their extended years.
Alex is probably the most famous parrot. He is known for his work on the avian language experiment (which is what his name stands for). He was purchased from a pet store by Dr. Pepperburg and lived to be 31 years old. A book was written about him and the research he took part in. It was thought that he had the emotional level of a two-year-old when he died.
Cookie the cockatoo was a Guinness World Record holder as the longest living parrot for a time. He died in 2016 at the age of 83 and lived almost his entire life at the Brookfield Zoo after having been shipped from an Australian zoo at about one year of age»
