So happy he encouraged those who want a bird to take classes. I don't think people realize how long they live and the attention they require. ❤❤❤
So happy they’re thinking ahead for Emma’s wellbeing by putting her in their will and teaching their daughter to look after her. ❤
The baby-proofing of the drawers and cabinets may have to be a PERMANENT modification for Emma! She appears to be both inquisitive and intelligent.
And a lil fun naughty... just like a toddler.
Have a look at the video and article I sent from Sydney, Australia where I live. You bet these birds are inquisitive and intelligent!
People have no idea about these beautiful creatures! Yes they are smart, beautiful, loving and deserve to be part of the family. Not a novelty item to be returned or discarded like trash!
Exactly!!!
I completely relate to how this couple cares and plans for the welfare of this sweet little one. My dogs have always been in my wills (I have had to update each one when a dog passes). My current Yorkie is not only in my most current will, but also travelling with me abroad. Unlike the owner who gave Emma up in order to move to Hawaii, I went through the complicated quarantine process to take my dog to Hawaii, as well as to Japan, where we are now visiting for at least a year. My dogs have always been like my child. I could never voluntarily give them up.
They said in this video, the previous owner was allergic to Emma's dander. That's why they couldn't keep Emma.
Thank you for highlighting the legacy planning involved! Any of these sweet creatures that live well beyond our own life span should be well taken care of... They deserve a thoughtful plan to be established at the time of adoption. Thanks for bringing awareness!!! Much love 💕😊
Wow, what a beautiful, gorgeous amazing cockatoo.
I love seeing a well cared for and loved parrot in a forever home! So many parrots have to be rehomed over and over because people don't realize what a huge commitment it is to care for them.
Speechless! Wonderful people caring for an incredible bird!❤️🦜
I have tears in my eyes that you provided her with a life long plan so she can be happy for the rest of her life...
The love any animal can bring to you and your family is priceless.
They don't ask, they don't judge but just want be a part of your life! ❤
What a lovely story! And a beautiful family! I hope to watch more of sweet Emma! Thank you for sharing. ❤💕💋🕊
She looks like a lot of fun, you appreciate her, which is great.
I really enjoyed your video - so sweet and gentle and filled with love, just like your beautiful white-feathered baby girl. Wishing you all a very happy, healthy long life.
This is beautiful. It is such a blessing to see😍. True Love ❤️. Praying for a covenant of protection around your family.
She gorgeous and so healthy. Her feathers are thick and beautiful!
Owning a bird. Is a lifetime commitment, the will is a great idea 😃
Cute!
Whoa awesome commitment…. Beautiful bird, beautiful people……5D relationships and living in harmony and love between species!
I love that they take her long term care seriously. ❤❤❤
"Hatching" your baby.. the best!!
You are just the best of people 🥰 Emma has definitely found her forever home, what a beautiful bird and full of mischief 😁 your daughter and her will be best buddies and what adventures they will have, look out mum and dad! Yes these wonderful creatures deserve the best of care throughout their long lives and ownership should not be taken lightly. Wishing you all the best from rainy Scotland. 🏴🇬🇧
Seeing their life expectancy, a parrot is likely to survive us and should be cared and provided for. Thanks for respecting her enough to do this!
I’m so glad that Emma has found her forever home. Wishing you all a long and Happy life 😻
I've never seen a parrot ask to have her toenails manicured -- very smart!! And thanks for being so responsive to her. My Cockatiel needs his toenails trimmed but he is not docile like your bird. Wish I could. Emma is so fortunate to have you guys as parents. Blessings to all!
Oh man, I just love animals.
Very responsible owners. Love to see it.
Absolutely beautiful all four! Thx
❤Thank you for the Beautiful work your doing. God Bless you always ❤
OMG! That baby sitting on her mamas egg is just precious! I believe her mama is spot on, that was her egg! What a sweetheart!
I wish I wasn’t in my 60’s because I would rescue one in a heart beat
Emma's an absolutely stunning blessing. Seeing this beautiful family's video has me smiling from ear to ear. Even after the video ended.💙🤗💙
My parents had an Umbrella named Pearl who just adored me when I visited my folks between business trips. My folks also had two hilarious talking African Grays, who along with Pearl were the best talkers and did not just parrot our language, they used words to ask for things. Every time we had Spaghetti, the African Gray's and Pearl's favorite food, one of them would say "Here" meaning they wanted it too.
Pearl just loved me to death but would scare away my parent's cat Shelly, a Tortoise Shell Cat who crushed on me the very first moment my parents rescued her from a rescue center.
Even my fiance then said she was jealous of Shelly's affection to me.
As my parents passed on, ten years apart, their birds and my Mom's final home was willed to me, my wife and widowed sister in law. Managing her small estate, I found a bird club woman with experience and care in handling birds, who came and gathered them all for us to pass them on to forever homes.
Since my wife, sister in law and I worked long hours, we could not care for the birds the way my retired folks did--they are indeed a life long investment and I did not want to sell them--they were like family to me and my wife and daughter.
A few weeks after one of the African Grays was given to a single young woman, she called me and said "I have a bird that knows naughty language, she uses it when I hurt myself while cooking" and I laughingly told her she learned that from my Mom...
Great story!
How these people treat Emma is how we should all treat each other.
I could learn some lessons here, too.
Thanks, guys.
I love seeing the commitment and the passion between these creatures that just doesn't break... I hope that all goes well for them and I pray that they will have a wonderful life together for the next "clump-of-years" that has presented itself to this story. I'm so happy for them to be so content with life and I hope they can just be happy on this world with all the friends that they might make. God bless them all. Bless them all and good luck to the group. ❤
Emma is a beautiful, sweet bird 🐦 💖
So beautiful. Now I can start my day on a lovely note. 🤍🦜
What a beautiful family and story. ❤
Bravo for being so responsible regarding her lifespan because it's so sad to see these birds go from home to home to home.
My first umbrella cockatoo was 16 weeks old when I got him. I got him without knowing a thing about parrots and cockatoos in particular. I got him for the same reason most people get cockatoos. They’re cute, cuddly, charming and funny. Fortunately I was willing to educate myself about them. Most people, when the novelty wears off, discover they just aren’t willing to put the work and time in it takes to look after cockatoos. That’s how I ended up with two more umbrella cockatoos. They came to me with all sorts of bad behaviours due to neglect and, in one case, abuse. One was a year old and the other 4 years old. That was 30 years ago. I adore my noisy, destructive birds but I worry about their future. I’m 60 years old now and these birds have another 40-50 years in them and I don’t. I live on the prairies in western Canada and there aren’t any rescues I can will them to nor do I have any children or relatives who would take them. They are very social animals and need a lot of attention. They are so darn cute and adorable too. I love them.
beautiful family
Emma is adorable ♥️♥️♥️🤗
I love responsible pet parent!
Bless this family.
I love this story! Thank you for sharing
Oh what a sweetie ❤
Totally agree parrots of any sub species has it's own special requirements along with their natural behaviour. They are not naughty birds and you need to be able to control and redirect their behaviour in a way that you can accept
Beautiful story.
So cool!!! I just love these birds
Every time a cockatoo does that head bob thing I laugh hysterically. They are such comedians.
My whole heart.
That is so lovely❤❤❤
💕What a lovely story about a beautiful family & their two little angels, one of whom just happens to be a sweet, silly, beautiful, loveable bird.💕X🥰O💕X🥰O💕X🥰O💕
I have 2 cockatiels who have dander issues like all the cockatoo so i used medicated shampoo and washed them, they are so much happier for it not constantly scratching and getting dust everywhere
Considering how long parrots live I'm glad to hear they made provision for her. Wouldn't it be nice though if dogs and cats could live longer? 12/15 years is so short!
Fantastic ! LOVE
Gosh I hope they are aware of the possibility of raptors swooping down & stealing her. They go on trips to various places, so how do they know there aren't raptors around? I read about it in the comments section of a story about another bird. One woman was still guilty and traumatized years after it happened to her bird that she took outside. She had never gotten over the guilt and remembering what happened years later and stated that she was crying while writing her comments.
Aww she's so cuteb
Beautiful ♥️
❤Great Parenting
Such loving and responsible bird parents! I wished my dog like pedicures the way Emma does, lol!🤣💗
My Cockatoo was in my will too.
As an Aussie who has done wildlife and bird courses, I was initially confused by your use of the term "umbrella cockatoo", as I have never heard it before.
Eventually figured it out to be referring to Emma's crest: we would call her a sulphur-crested cockatoo, or just call her a cockie. They are indeed gorgeous, cheeky and smart larikins, who people love and loathe in equal amounts for their ability as both solo and flock birds to be destructive of everything from buildings (there was a flock near where I lived in inner Sydney who spent ages happily ripping insulation foam off a multistorey building: I noticed this one morning on my way to work when I wondered what the white stuff that was piled up like snow on the footpath in the local shopping centre was!)
to trees (I would watch them rippling into big pine trees to get at the grubs under the bark).
They are notorious for opening people's garbage bins and pulling out the trash within (although they then don't eat it!) and other cheeky acts of pure vandalism.
However even the farmers whose crops they raid (this used to happen almost every day where I recently lived opposite a small walnut plantation: the couple who owned it used loud but non-poisonous and non-lethal gas powered "bang" cannons in an ongoing attempt to scare them off: it didn't work for long, and it wasn't like these birds lacked their native foods to eat, as the area is surrounded by many many miles of state forest!) have a respect for these long lived "clowns of the bush".
Loved the video and your commitment to her: I remember when the American pet trade discovered these birds back in the 70s, and I even had one pet store owner in San Francisco who twigged my Australian accent (I had wandered in, intrigued by a sulphur-crested being on sale) asking me quite openly if I could obtain such birds back home for him.
He was not happy when I explained I was running Greenpeace Australia, was in the US visiting local branches, and was opposed to and involved in preventing the trafficking of native species for the pet trade!
May God bless y'all ♥♥♥♥Namaskar🙏.
I am not a bird or cockatoo person but I really like this story.
💕
The white powder is to protect them from germs like baby powder but you have to clean you hands after touching them. I know since I have a cockatoo aswell
I would be worried about her flying away , the stress would kill me
There are harnesses made specifically for birds. I hope she wears one when she is outside. She is definitely not safe without it.
The Australian Sulphur Crested Cockatoo came out of Gondwana Land 95 million years ago . They're left handed . Males have black irises and females red .
So fascinating 😊
ive watched a lot of vids on these birds. ur the first to mention dandruff. thanks for such important info.
No matter what the expected lifespan of your nonhuman family members is, you need to provide for them in your will, just as you would if you had human dependents. After necessary expenses to settle my estate, the priority in my will is funding attached to any cats I’m living with, and a short list of people to contact whom I consider likely to be good guardians and have agreed to consider adopting them if that time comes. I feel a lot of comfort not worrying that if I get hit by a bus the people I love will be abandoned at a shelter.
❤❤❤❤❤
A friend of mine has an African Grey that is the same age as her. She is his second human.
same
People are finally starting to realise that cockatoos live as long as us. Hoorah! then perhaps they won't buy them knowing they have to be kept a lifetime. YoThey a two are prefect for Emma. Absolutely this family are suited to having the cockatoo and love her very much thats obvious.
The thinking was that parrots had the intelligence of a 2-3 year old but now they think its more like a 7 year old!
❤❤❤❤❤❤
I love Emma 🥰
I don't believe all this business about her being a cockatoo....Really?🤔
You can see for yourself that she's a beautiful person. 🤣
And so are her mum and dad. ❤️👍
❤

Anyone with a pet of any sort should include their pet in their will to indicate what arrangements are in place for their care.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
They are beautiful intelligent creatures but they deserve to have some freedom and I'm not sure being in the house is best... My dad's african grey started plucking it's feathers... I think it's cause my dad works everyday and really makes a loud noise when he walks out. Personally I tthink teh bird is bonded to my dad like a mate and she doesn't want to be there alone although when I'm there and leave she whist les also.
A parrot other members of the family can live for up to 60 years so please don't think we just fade away we will be there as long as you're alive if you let us I'm your old age if you let me squackk
This is how it should bw. Always
Families don't have wills.
Are you familiar with "BirdTricks" and their classes and diet?
I started my journey with my umbrella buddy 2-1/2 yrs ago his name is “ Mad Max “ he was bought from a flea market at a bird dealers booth the dealer said the previous owner couldn’t handle the noise , and Max was put outside, when he got vocal the past owner would hose max down with the garden hose ! A yeh I wanna find this guy , it’s been a hard long road we’ve come from me not being able to put my hand in his cage to He’s sitting on my lap getting pettings as I write this comment , he’s my best buddy we’re together all day , he doesn’t get vocal unless he doesn’t see me or when it’s time to wake up at daybreak and wants out to come be by me , he doesn’t talk and I’m not sure if he’s male or female as he😢s not gotten a DNA test , I don’t know his age ? I’ve asked him and he refuses to answer me 😆
L❤️ vely 🦜 💕💕💕💕
White powder
In the will..geez Louise. Leaving your estate to an animal should not be allowed.
i love animals as much as the next guy but seriously, what the hell does a bird need money for (or for that matter, any kind of inheritance)?
Don't buy any kind of parrot. It is a commitment most people can't take. Plus they live a lot. Always a worry : who would take care of your parrot like you do. So don't stimulate that kind of pet business.
As a near life long parrot companion since 1988, I can really relate. My first bird, a cherry head conure I found at a feed store. He wasn’t hand tame, so I spent the first 6 months hand taking him. Everyday multiple times a day we’d do one foot on the training stick the other on my finger. Then he got scared of my finger in front so I put one finger behind him asked him 1 foot. He then did that many times a day for another 3 months. Then one day he jumped onto my finger both feet and neither of us ever looked back. I did get him a companion to keep company when I had to work. She was a severe macaw. She lived 27 years and then passed unexpectedly. My then conure was devastated as was I 💔
After she died he started letting me touch him in places he never felt comfortable before and that led to him climbing down my shoulder when I sat in the chair to my elbow, turn around and bury his head in my chest bowing his head, asking me to preen him. 🤷🏼♀️
In the end he’d be in my lap most nights getting endless preens! He especially loved his wings rubbed. And he would relax into a zombie mode bird. At bedtime he’d pop his head up and start wichit sounds asking me to put him to roost. He played birdie soccer, peek a boo and lived to sing and dance! He passed after we were together 34 years. He’s sorely missed
❤ I can believe it. That many decades with a bird is really special ❤
What a beautiful experience-34 years ! Wow 🤩 had my soul horse until he passed at 34 years i thoroughly understand the sorely missed
❤❤❤
Thank you for taking her in. People don’t realize how much time they take and how long they live!! I’m so happy to see her in a loving home. So many don’t get this.
They were so well spoken and did a great job explaining a lot of what it's like to have a Cockatoo. Maybe more people will do their research now since he talked about classes for potential owners!
When done right, being a good responsible pet parent is work. Be it furry feathey OR creepy crawly ... it's A LOT of work.
Why wouldn't they be well spoken? Why are people surprised when people are well spoken??
Articulate in explanations. Not filled with uhm and uh uh, etc!
That's the sweetest thing l've ever seen. Emma is so adorable, so sweet, so smart. The laughing with you, the pedicures, so fascinating how amazing these birds are. I so love them. I'm too old to adopt one now, but wish l had done it earlier in my life.
You have to have a will if you own one. They will most likely outlive you and must have someone named to take over the care of it
