You never can tell what will freak birds out. My cockatiel had no problem with me vacuuming around his cage, but if I wore a new pair of pants, it was a 50/50 chance he would go berserk.
I would sometimes catch my quarter looking outside as if he wanted to go outside and the idea of going outside made him happy so I once brought a flower and a stick and he freaked out XDD He never looked out the window look that again
Yea birds are random as shit. They'll be fine with the most crazy stuff, and then lose their mind if you like... buy yourself a new toaster. Our bird hates anything made of cardboard. Just absolutely hates it all.
When we introduce new toys to our African Grey we set them on the ledge outside the cage until he feels comfortable with interacting with something new. Once he starts to play with it, we hang it in his cage.
this shows how much this bird has bonded with you ... even though the offending yellow thing was still in the room, you were able to calm him down. So happy you know how to make him feel safe and loved. Your such an amazing Daddy to Max!
From my experience with a lot of animals a calm response from their human slave makes them know nothing bad will happen. my cat always checks my response and only freaks out if I do 😂
Roman Jones A pink one insulted my hair when I got it cut. Then insulted my gender. Which is female. All I said was "I don't really like pink. It's not my thing" then it started insulting me ;-;
stelkin656 our umbrella fluffs like this when he does his morning and evening stretches. We have an older golden retriever dog. Our 'too will pant when asked what the dog says, then the 'too shakes his head just like the dog does then fluffs up like the fluffy dog. when asked what our other dog says (a lab) the 'too barks and does not fluff up.
My conjure also disapproves of hanging up pants, rustling or stacking papers, using a stapler, or making coffee. And by disapproval I mean if I forget she's on my shoulder she'll bite me.
I know right?? He is SO BEAUTIFUL. Apricot colour. Here in Aust they are/can be considered a pest in some areas, destroying whole roofs of houses. There was a huge problem in the 90's. Not sure how it's going now. Being a bird lover I LOVE cockies (it's what we call me em in Aust) .. So big & glorious. I also love them because they always know when it's going to rain. So when the cockies come and start squawking & hanging upside down & making a huge riot you know it's going to rain within 24 hours or less. I learnt this from an indigenous Australian & saw/heard all the rabble once and the cockies have been correct ever since I knew of this. Just amazing. I mean how do they know. Anyway, Max is gorgeous .. I love him all fluffed up but I guess that's him showing his "hey I'm like a big deal around here don't mess with me" look, I also love when all the feathers go down & they are small & sweet & seem comfortably happy :)
That would likely explain the fluffing up - our bird does that too - but the rocking? hmmm - Annnnnny way we can only surmise about what goes on in a birdie's brain.
My cockatiel lays all its feathers flat, flares its tail, spreads wings slightly, rocks side to side slowly and hisses rather loudly... interesting display to say the least.
Thanks. Understand that in this video Max appears fearful of the visual stimuli: the paper parasol. Because we've seen certain humans rock to self-sooth when stressed, anxious or fearful, were thinking that perhaps Max might be exhibiting that behavior this similar circumstance.
I have NO IDEA how MANY TIMES I watch Max, over and over and over!! I 💞LOVE💋💞 THAT BIRD!! Dan, I think when you talk to Max you raise the fun factor tremendously! Phyllis Diller?!?! TOO FUNNY! I especially love it when you give Max attitude RIGHT BACK! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE ALL YOUR VIDEOS!! 😊Thank you for sharing your INCREDIBLE bird with us!!
Linda Gilliam no he loves the color yellow he has a yellow block he does "naughty" things to (sorry for the disturbing mental image) it's just the size and shape and unfimilarity is why he's a big fluff ball in the vid
Amazing,Max looks so different ! Maybe he thinks it's another bird,after all it gets bigger when Daddy puts up the umbrella just like Max does when he raises his crest and it's yellow like a sulphur crested.
I had no idea all those feathers could puff out like that. He looked like a velociaraptor at one point. It's those little moments when he's very quiet I would be very afraid of him lol.
AbductionFromAbove that's what owning a parrot does to you :3 just like owning a toddler people turn into just as silly and imaginative as the toddler or in this case bird toddler XD
I have never seen anyone invest as much love, attention or understanding of an exotic before.. I have 12 myself, but not a cockatoo. Subscribed awhile ago because I appreciate & admire even the simplest things you two "experience". Kudos!
I think this is my favorite Max video of all time. 2nd favorite are the "going to the vet" videos. Bless his little Maxie heart, though, I hate to see him get so stirred up. I love the way you calm him down. Dan, you are a good daddy.
I laughed when Max's Dad said something about how Max looks like Phyllis Diller when his head feathers were puffed up. I had a little bantam rooster with long puffy head feathers that stuck up, and people said he looked like Diller as well.
Back in the '80's in L.A., my ex & I once found an abandoned German Shepherd puppy at our neighborhood park & took her home w/us, to later discover she had a marked dislike for Asian people w/umbrellas. She would take off after them every time a man or woman would walk past our home until we were forced to tie her up out back, or hold her on a leash even while sitting w/her in the front yard to avoid awkward, or possibly litigious encounters. All we could figure was that prior to our finding her, she had at some time been beaten by someone w/an umbrella, & since there was a substantial Asian demographic in our community, & they often used umbrellas to ward off the bright midday sunlight when going about their business nearby, they unwittingly became prime targets for the abused pup.
+TheSWolfe Oh, dear! I feel sorry for the abused dog, and for you. That is hard. Here it rains a lot, and umbrellas are extremely common most of the year. It would be hard having umbrella issues here.
Pacific Northwest? Yes, we were totally unprepared for a pup of Paisley's strength & soon-to-be substantial size, plus, I was approx. 7 mo's pregnant. She could wriggle out of any leash get-up, & frequently took me for what I'm sure were quite humorous-looking walks thru the 'hood. We meant well, but didn't factor in such things as emotional trauma. Animals (the human kind, too) often associate certain people/places/objects w/negative events, exhibiting strong negative reactions to them. Who can tell what they've endured prior to our arrival? On the other hand, birds, I'm told, can simply not like, or be afraid, of a specific shape, color, sound, etc., resulting in a fear or aggressive response. We get a giggle out of it on this end, but it's not so funny for them, I'd wager. But there's no way to ascertain what they like/don't like w/o presenting them w/it, so, it's a live & learn/trial & error adventure for both bird & person here, w/us as the lucky audience to Mr. Max's Poufy-tudeness!
+TheSWolfe I've never had a bird, so it's interesting to learn about bird behavior by watching Max. I could never handle a big dog. I'm just not strong enough.
Same here. Max was my 1st Net-Pet. Thru him, I discovered Gotcha & Pebble & realized what magnificent, intelligent beings birds, & Toos esp., really are. Yeah, it's been decades since I had a dog. I love 'em, but live in an apt. in the city, can't get around as well as I used to, & couldn't give them adequate space & exercise, so it's just me & LucyFur the EvilAngel, my 12 y.o. tuxedo cat, here now.
Aww Max feels threatened by the umbrella, so he really fluffs up bless him. It's odd how we think some things they would like to play with they end up having really big issues over. Never seen Max that fluffy though.
I'm so addicted to your videos!!!!!!! I'm in love with Max too! He's so friggin' cute!!!!!! I love how he tilts his head and rocks back 'n forth almost to soothe himself when he's afraid!!!!
My cockatiels and parakeets Freaked out when I put out pomegranate seeds for them. They all flew to the other side of the room. It took them an hour to go back over after they were removed. Crazy. They do that rocking thing also. Cute Max :)
I saw a Raven do this in my back yard to chase away a Squirrel. Never in my life had I seen anything like it, it was wondrous. Like watching Mr. Max every day. Somewhere a giant is missing his fancy drink umbrella, no good will come of that.
Omg From 0:55-1:05 I died of laughter!! I love Max. He's such a nice buddy to have around. His "BIG Fluff Ball" Cracks me up. He looks like he's amazing to have around and hilarious. The first video I saw of him was when he was doing his voices. It cracked me up. My sister and I love watching you and Max! Have a good day! -Emily
AWW, BIG FLUFFY GOOFBALL PLAYING WITH THE WINDCHIMES!!! ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE!!! Rock a bye Max in the treetop. When the wind blows Maxwell will rock. Toes, toes, toes, belly, belly, belly and a beak, beak, beak finally got him to put his feathers down. Max you are too adorable. 🕊😨🌂☂️🌂☂️🌂☂️🌂☂️🌂☂️
Major Maxwell Bird - Fluffball mode engaged! Can never get tired of going through your videos, watching really helps with my depression when i'm having a really bad day. You two are so lucky to have one another so much loves.
I think this is the first time I've ever seen Max Fluff Ball...so funny! Daddy, we all know you meant well. You really are a good daddy to Max. Max is saying, "We are not amused!"
lol my african grey, Sadie, loves chewing on pencils so I thought " okay! I'll buy her some bamboo wood sticks, she'll love them!" She won't go near them! It's so funny to see the way birds react to new things.
Interaction vids are so much fun. When I watch Max and his many moods, I automatically think about the fact that birds have been genetically proven to be descended from dinosaurs. That would mean two very interesting thoughts. One is that humans who choose to have larger birds are living with small "dinosaurs", in a way. The other is to consider that dinosaurs may have been a bit like Max. Imitative, curious, talkative, playful and sometimes, fluffed out like a dandelion seed in attempt to look big and terrifying. There were very small dinosaurs that wouldn't be too different from Max in size, so watching him might well be a window to how some of those little ones got along. My favorite bits though, are when Max gets all cranky and speaks in his owner's voice. He sounds almost possessed and unnatural, and as a human, I keep trying to resolve the nonsense words he's using. At some point, he must have been impressed with that tone of voice and uses it to evoke that same feeling. Repeating what he says over and over makes it all the more creepy. If I heard that voice, in the grumpy 'too's way, at night, in the dark, I'd be in my closet with the blankets over my head. ;-D Thanks Max, for showing us how complex you are!
You never can tell what will freak birds out. My cockatiel had no problem with me vacuuming around his cage, but if I wore a new pair of pants, it was a 50/50 chance he would go berserk.
AH, PANTS! DX
😂

lol
Yea birds are random as shit. They'll be fine with the most crazy stuff, and then lose their mind if you like... buy yourself a new toaster.
Our bird hates anything made of cardboard. Just absolutely hates it all.
The umbrella got bigger, which mimicked a bird aggressively fluffing up in a threat display, so he's returning the threat display to warn it off.
I rarely see a scientific explanation for video I'm not being a smart eloc
When we introduce new toys to our African Grey we set them on the ledge outside the cage until he feels comfortable with interacting with something new. Once he starts to play with it, we hang it in his cage.
mrip75 That's a good tactic to use.
I don't think so. Max even fluffed up while the unbrella was not bigger.
from 0:00 to 1:35
He's just scared of the umbrella, I don't know why
this shows how much this bird has bonded with you ... even though the offending yellow thing was still in the room, you were able to calm him down. So happy you know how to make him feel safe and loved. Your such an amazing Daddy to Max!
From my experience with a lot of animals a calm response from their human slave makes them know nothing bad will happen. my cat always checks my response and only freaks out if I do 😂
"Human slave"... It cracked me up because it's so true!!!
+Sarah Smith human slave lmao
Dan is so wonderful with him. It is endearing to see that kind of trust.
Chips with tenders love slave. Who could resist? Such an entertaining bird.
I love how he plays with the wind chimes. That's so cute.
No u.
A yellow umbrella once insulted his mamma.
lol.
😂
same
lol
Roman Jones A pink one insulted my hair when I got it cut. Then insulted my gender. Which is female. All I said was "I don't really like pink. It's not my thing" then it started insulting me ;-;
Trying to look intimidating, but it doesn't work when you're wearing a pink suit.
Ricovali he's a fancy little man. But he means business.
Pink Power Ranger would probably disagree.
Ricovali
Hehehe, that’s a cute comment
To cute
Pity that cockatoos only fluff like that when feeling threatened or uncomfortable. Cuz that's where they look the most adorable.
stelkin656 our umbrella fluffs like this when he does his morning and evening stretches. We have an older golden retriever dog. Our 'too will pant when asked what the dog says, then the 'too shakes his head just like the dog does then fluffs up like the fluffy dog. when asked what our other dog says (a lab) the 'too barks and does not fluff up.
stelkin656 Also when agitated or excited
I notice they also turn popcorn when being goofy/excited lol
stelkin656 parakeets do it often to shake of dirt and stuff
Hes not threatened hes displaying. Duh
"Toes, toes, toes, belly and a belly and a beak beak beak". That is all it took to calm Max down. What a wonderful and comic bond you have!
I love Mr Max. So interesting.
How amazing that he is using the windchimes to relax himself.. That is what windchimes are for! What a clever bird
He’s also rocking back and forth which would appear to be an exercise in self-soothing.
That is the weirdest defense mechanism I have ever seen. I'm just going to fluff up and sway... :D
It is because this can often makes the enemy flee as they don't want to attack such a huge bird!
They appear much bigger than they actually are when they do that, so smaller predators will probably just run from such a big bird
Imagine if humans did that
Guess it makes him look bigger
My arsehole would pucker-up if that happened :(
Max is maxed out!
😂😂😂
nika williams That bird is royally pissed!
(Btw. Nice photo. That really you?)
Yes, Max is pretty pissed I see. And yes, that's really me and thank you 😘
nika williams I'm a photographer. You'd make a great model!
***** Max effort and max resolve from max Moxie! :)
My little green cheek conure thinks that helium balloons are the ultimate evil in the universe.
My conure has a fiery hatred of socks
+CraftyCreativeGirl hahahaha....
My conure HATES bells. No questions asked
My conjure also disapproves of hanging up pants, rustling or stacking papers, using a stapler, or making coffee. And by disapproval I mean if I forget she's on my shoulder she'll bite me.
My cockatiel is scared of feathers. She's a little special.
If I was a domesticated bird, I would want to have an owner just like Max's. Two sweethearts.
Mine doesn't fear dogs barking or cats, but God help you if he sees your car keys🙄
ASTRAYGREENFRAME 😂😂😂
Mine yells at the dog whenever she scratches an itch.
Oh jeez 😂😂😂😂😂
ASTRAYGREENFRAME
Oh my lord!😂😂
Lol
It’s adorable how he calmed down when you began singing the “toes toes toes” song to him ❤️
Max: **rings the war-chimes** Get ready for battle you yellow monstrosity!
Lol, youre funny!!!
😂😂🤣🤣🤣
He was just flexing.
"You look like Phyllis Diller." I'm dead that was a hilarious comparison
새연 새연 i
this is the most complicated bird ever . i love this
Typical cockatoo!
He does have his oddities.
I think that Max quite enjoys the wind chimes. He certainly looks a very contented and happy bird.
popcorn mode ACTIVATE
Ninja Lemon super saiyan 3*
Omgoosh! All the videos you posted, I have never seen him that fluffed out. You have ruffled Max's feathers. lol.
Did Max get a toenail job?
+Judy Eason yes awhile ago

MissFlux I'm so sorry, but.... "We love cockies.... So big and glorious!"
+Lynn Stringfellow lol
Wondering whether Max's rocking is a self-soothing movement . . . .
They usually do it to make them look bigger and more scary
That would likely explain the fluffing up - our bird does that too - but the rocking? hmmm -
Annnnnny way we can only surmise about what goes on in a birdie's brain.
My cockatiel lays all its feathers flat, flares its tail, spreads wings slightly, rocks side to side slowly and hisses rather loudly... interesting display to say the least.
The rocking motion indicates FEAR.
Thanks. Understand that in this video Max appears fearful of the visual stimuli: the paper parasol. Because we've seen certain humans rock to self-sooth when stressed, anxious or fearful, were thinking that perhaps Max might be exhibiting that behavior this similar circumstance.
It's kinda unsettling to see Max so fluffy. I'm way too used to seeing him the smooth little birdy he usually is.
little? Max is quite a big one
timo stockhorst compared to us he's small
ThorirEy hm.. True^^
Of course he doesn't like them--he's not an Umbrella Cockatoo!
By the way, the "Toes, toes, toes..." song is my FAVORITE! Your own little love song!
2:34 that´s creepy :D
lol ya
MoncaCZ Just imagine seeing that at midnight.
摩耶なたxima_trianglex it starts walking towards you then screams at the top of his lungs
*screaming* haiii
MoncaCZ oml its night here that's so creepy I'm not going to sleep
I have NO IDEA how MANY TIMES I watch Max, over and over and over!! I 💞LOVE💋💞 THAT BIRD!!
Dan, I think when you talk to Max you raise the fun factor tremendously! Phyllis Diller?!?! TOO FUNNY! I especially love it when you give Max attitude RIGHT BACK! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE ALL YOUR VIDEOS!! 😊Thank you for sharing your INCREDIBLE bird with us!!
All my parrots HATE the color YELLOW!
I think Max does too...lol!
Linda Gilliam SAME!!! The color yellow!!!
Linda Gilliam no he loves the color yellow he has a yellow block he does "naughty" things to (sorry for the disturbing mental image) it's just the size and shape and unfimilarity is why he's a big fluff ball in the vid
or maybe it's also the shade of yellow as well
Many of them even have yellow on their bodies like yellow crested cockatoos, conures etc.
I've only seen him in "popcorn mode" like this when he's mad at the birds and groundhogs outside.
I've never seen him so fluffy! How cute! It's so funny when you buy a toy you think they'll love and they hate it. lol
Hello Lindsay. How are you doing today?
Amazing,Max looks so different ! Maybe he thinks it's another bird,after all it gets bigger when Daddy puts up the umbrella just like Max does when he raises his crest and it's yellow like a sulphur crested.
I had no idea all those feathers could puff out like that. He looked like a velociaraptor at one point. It's those little moments when he's very quiet I would be very afraid of him lol.
I'm sure he thinks of that umbrella opening as the same thing as fluffing out feathers to look bigger and tougher. :)
"You look like Phillis Diller! " bahahahahaha!
Crystal McKinney
I know right! That's hilarious.
Dude i danced in a circle when he said rhat
Dominic Velando
Yeah, that's one of the funniest things Dan has said! It's so true too!
Crystal McKinney That got me in hysterics LOL
Lel
angeleyedboidan, you are just as silly if not sillier than Max, and I love it. You're what makes this channel golden.
AbductionFromAbove that's what owning a parrot does to you :3 just like owning a toddler people turn into just as silly and imaginative as the toddler or in this case bird toddler XD
You are so good to Max.....he has so much enrichment around him. What a wonderful guardian you are for him!
1:00 max's thoughts: "what should I do to be more intimidating? I know! play with my wind chimes that should scare them off!
He's so quiet and well behaved when he's terrified of something. Its like his panic mode is his most calm state lol
I have never seen anyone invest as much love, attention or understanding of an exotic before.. I have 12 myself, but not a cockatoo.
Subscribed awhile ago because I appreciate & admire even the simplest things you two "experience".
Kudos!
He's so fluffy!! Love Max and you too! Thanks for sharing Max with us.
I am SCARY. FEAR ME YOU VILE UMBRELLA
Lol I talk to my bearded dragon like that when she puffs out her beard. I say "oh you're such a big mean lizard!" Alll the time.
Derek Dare
I have a bearded dragon named Yoshi
such a fierce lizard I would be scared if i was a predator
I think this is my favorite Max video of all time. 2nd favorite are the "going to the vet" videos. Bless his little Maxie heart, though, I hate to see him get so stirred up. I love the way you calm him down. Dan, you are a good daddy.
I love the colors under his feathers - how they transition from vibrant red-orange to yellow. So pretty!
I love the toes belly beak song.... I think he did too xx
What a fluff - ball!! Lol, I love how they can do that!
It is so obvious that you GENUINELY love this baby. God bless you for taking such great care of him. ~
I don't think I've ever seen Max so fluffy XD Not even when he was playing with cups. Not even when the carrier comes out!
I laughed when Max's Dad said something about how Max looks like Phyllis Diller when his head feathers were puffed up. I had a little bantam rooster with long puffy head feathers that stuck up, and people said he looked like Diller as well.

Max is pretty fluffed up like that. Love that bird!
I love how he turned to a dancing popcorn
Watching Max reduces my blood pressure.
He's so fluffed up it looks like he's going to explode! Strange that Max doesn't like yellow umbrellas but he loves yellow foam blocks. LOL.
max looks like a fluffy pink cloud xD
I think he's fluffing up to copy the way the umbrella "fluffs up" when it's opened - and he IS so beautiful.
I would have thought he would have liked it too. He loves that kind of paper. Such a funny little man!
Aww Max feels threatened by the umbrella, so he really fluffs up bless him. It's odd how we think some things they would like to play with they end up having really big issues over. Never seen Max that fluffy though.
This is one of my favorite videos of Max that I downloaded and watch again when life gets overwhelming. I love how he fluffs!
Max is the cutest lil fluff ball ever even though he reminds us of Phyllis Diller. 😄 Maxs' chuckle was adorable! This is a very cute video! 🥰❤🙏
Max looks so lovely as a peachy fluff ball.
I'm so addicted to your videos!!!!!!! I'm in love with Max too! He's so friggin' cute!!!!!! I love how he tilts his head and rocks back 'n forth almost to soothe himself when he's afraid!!!!
Hello Kim. How are you doing today?
too cute how he stands and looks at you when you tell him to show you at the very beginning :)
Love the “bless our nest” sign. So fitting
Never a dull moment with Mr Max! Kind regards.
I just love you two... You guys crack me up! Leon still tries to preen Max on the screen!
That poor umbrella should've vaporized under Max's GIGANTIC feather-display!
Good thing Max had "calming-chimes" lol
Well done, Mr. Max!
My cockatiels and parakeets Freaked out when I put out pomegranate seeds for them. They all flew to the other side of the room. It took them an hour to go back over after they were removed. Crazy. They do that rocking thing also. Cute Max :)
Aww he's such a cute fluffy ball! I want to hug him
1:58 I think it just broke. Try to contact the manufacturer for warranty replacement.
I saw a Raven do this in my back yard to chase away a Squirrel. Never in my life had I seen anything like it, it was wondrous. Like watching Mr. Max every day. Somewhere a giant is missing his fancy drink umbrella, no good will come of that.
Oh my goodness he gets so poofy!! He doesn't like the umbrella because he already has one on his head!! You are to adorable there Max.
"toes toes toes, belly belly belly and a beak beak beak" I love it.
I think I'm in love with you and bird. Out of all the videos n things I've seen on utube? You guys are my favorite and have touched my heart!
I just love how Max rocks himself side to side!
I want to see a new video Max fluffing up,just love the way he puff hot air out rocking to both the sides🥰🥰
'No wire coat hangers!' and NO YELLOW UMBRELLA!!!
Toes toes toes, belly belly belly and a beak beak beak. You guys are adorable.
He's so fluffy I could die!!!! 🐦 I wonder how he would react to those little cocktail umbrellas... Probably go back to fluffy warbird Max lol
He fluffed up like the umbrella is a threat! "I need to be bigger than that thing."
He's so sweet and sour.
Omg From 0:55-1:05 I died of laughter!! I love Max. He's such a nice buddy to have around. His "BIG Fluff Ball" Cracks me up. He looks like he's amazing to have around and hilarious. The first video I saw of him was when he was doing his voices. It cracked me up. My sister and I love watching you and Max! Have a good day! -Emily
Such a fluffy chicken 😍❤️🐓
Are you kidding? That's a peacock! *joke for those who can't read humor too well on the internet
@@TsukabuNosoratori2 nonono thats a toucan obviously
Oh my! I think this is the first time I ever saw him that fluffy, how adorable 👍
It is a monster--the umbrella monster! I play toe toes belly belly nose nose with my dog! This is my favorite video, he is just so cute!
Oh such a pretty fluffy bird.........wow he is gorgeous alpha male. luv u max ♡♡ kelly
It seems Max hates most things that are the color yellow...except the yellow sponge.
AWW, BIG FLUFFY GOOFBALL PLAYING WITH THE WINDCHIMES!!! ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE!!!
Rock a bye Max in the treetop. When the wind blows Maxwell will rock.
Toes, toes, toes, belly, belly, belly and a beak, beak, beak finally got him to put his feathers down. Max you are too adorable.
🕊😨🌂☂️🌂☂️🌂☂️🌂☂️🌂☂️
Max has so much trust in his dad- even in the face of the dreaded yellow umbrella!💙
The umbrella might symbolize a big bird puffing up its feathers, it does look like "big bird" after all.
Same color at least.
Just to funny I don't think I've ever seen him so scared but he is beautiful 🌺
Major Maxwell Bird - Fluffball mode engaged!
Can never get tired of going through your videos, watching really helps with my depression when i'm having a really bad day. You two are so lucky to have one another so much loves.
He is such a happy boy! Love your bird and how you are with him. So nice your whole family are involved with him. Love from UK xx
Hello Sarah. How are you doing?
I love your song
"Toes toes toes, belly belly belly, and beak beak beak!"
I think this is the first time I've ever seen Max Fluff Ball...so funny! Daddy, we all know you meant well. You really are a good daddy to Max. Max is saying, "We are not amused!"
The swaying...the demon voice...the stare. It's all so adorable!
lol my african grey, Sadie, loves chewing on pencils so I thought " okay! I'll buy her some bamboo wood sticks, she'll love them!" She won't go near them! It's so funny to see the way birds react to new things.
he so cute, I want him, but I have to many.
seany Bee How many?
Is your bird high?
+angeleyedboidan why is his fluff like that lad?
+Miles Tails Prower/Ashley House When birds feel threatened (in this case because he didn't know what the umbrella was) they puff up to appear bigger.
Ejm2002Gaming thanks laddie
Ejm2002Gaming and try to look mean and fierce
Interaction vids are so much fun. When I watch Max and his many moods, I automatically think about the fact that birds have been genetically proven to be descended from dinosaurs. That would mean two very interesting thoughts. One is that humans who choose to have larger birds are living with small "dinosaurs", in a way. The other is to consider that dinosaurs may have been a bit like Max. Imitative, curious, talkative, playful and sometimes, fluffed out like a dandelion seed in attempt to look big and terrifying. There were very small dinosaurs that wouldn't be too different from Max in size, so watching him might well be a window to how some of those little ones got along.
My favorite bits though, are when Max gets all cranky and speaks in his owner's voice. He sounds almost possessed and unnatural, and as a human, I keep trying to resolve the nonsense words he's using. At some point, he must have been impressed with that tone of voice and uses it to evoke that same feeling. Repeating what he says over and over makes it all the more creepy. If I heard that voice, in the grumpy 'too's way, at night, in the dark, I'd be in my closet with the blankets over my head. ;-D Thanks Max, for showing us how complex you are!
Max is so healthy looking. Some of the birds I see online with people just don't look like they're thriving physically. This bird does.
Hello Donna. How are you doing today?
