Gotcha has been so gentle around Oliver from a distance.
He's never been close enough to bite, regardless of how sweet he acts I won't risk them getting too close to each other.
Letty on the other hand acts a little bit like she wants a piece of the baby so she's not allowed close to him at all just yet. Lol miss sassy pants 😉.
My husband shook his head and was annoyed because he HATES being on camera lol. 😜
Also please dont think that I give Gotcha more attention than my son, Ollie is my world! I love him more than I ever thought was possible.
He was simply a little fussy and whiny, and the video is only a little over a minute long 😉.
He gets all the love and attention a little boy could ever want or need 💗.
Thanks for watching! 💙
❗️❗️❗️85% of parrots are either resold, given away, or abandoned within just 2 short years of being purchased.
I cannot stress enough how heartbreaking this sad truth is.... Too many people impulse buy parrots because of cute or funny traits they'vet seen in other birds.
A life stuck in a cage is cruel and so unfair to these magnificent beautiful creatures.
They deserve the absolute best!
So if you are interested in a parrot, adopt one because you have the time and energy and if you want to save them from a life stuck behind bars, not solely because they are cute or funny etc.
parrots are a LIFETIME commitment. They can live up to 80+ years!!
I've given up many many things the to give my two parrots the best life they can possibly have!
Please do your research before adopting.
After all, we have our friends, our jobs, and our hobbies.
They only have us💗❗️❗️
I think he got a little sad that Oliver was crying but couldn't help him calm down! how sweet is that, oh my goodness!
This is adorable. He's trying to communicate by emulating the baby cries (and learning it gets him some sweet, sweet attention!). That's just the fucking cutest.
Herrata Bole i think i just cried a little
OMG! Gotcha is learning the baby cry gets attention, lol, you guys are in trouble now.
Gotcha is the best bird ever.
baby's first words will either be "gotchu" or random meowing lol
Hahaha or BED RATS

Your comment almost made me spit coffee all over my keyboard. BED RATS!!!!
+Melissa Sartin :'D hahah I know I almost did too when I typed that
+taylor ruttig lmao! Oh please no!
Gotcha the Feathered Nanny. Could be a movie ;-)
Haha!

I've worked with young children and families for over 40 years. No one can make a judgment on parenting based on 1:17 minutes of family time unless someone is doing something realllllly inappropriate. In the meantime, it is hilarious to hear our Gotcha imitating Oliver's crying. You're the sweetest gentlest folks I've seen yet, with people and animals. Warms the heart to watch. So happy for your wonderful family. Keep the vids coming!!!
Thankyou ☺️💙.
That little boy, my animals, and my hubby are my everything!! 💗💙💜
Gotcha, and that is how it should be, your doing great, with all your animals, try and get a bit of 'me' time though if you can, I know it's difficult, I'm a mum to 4 children, take care xxx
If you’re talking about letting the baby cry for a little while. I’ve seen experienced mothers do that. It’s supposed to be good to let the baby cry some. It clears out the lungs and gives them a little cardio workout.
It's very nice of Gotcha to help out in trying to cheer the baby up.
Amazing. He knows you like I love you so he tries to sooth Ollie with those words!
+Valerie Pagendarm thats probably his reasoning yes :)
He's imitating Oliver lol. Your birdy and your baby are the cutest! CONGRATS again!
I wish people could keep their opinions to themselves unless you are asked for help. Everyone is an expert..... Not !,!! This is a gorgeous video showing how gentle Gotcha is when near the baby. Gotcha is speaking soooo softly and actually trying baby language. It's sweet. He is an amazing bird and you are great parents. It's cute that he is making the same sounds. He is trying to assess the situation. Sweet.
Thankyou!! 💗
Lovely bird. And, of course, very handsome baby. Heck, even Gotcha is cute.
+Gotcha The Cockatoo Thankyou!! 💗
it is a cute video!
beautifully put Seona Beaufield
As Oliver gets older he will also look out for little Gotcha, it is so great that you are encouraging a bond between both of them.
Brandt McCall he will probably end up keeping gotcha after his parents get older.
True as parrots can live into their 100's, especially if well cared for like Gotcha. Albeit people are living long too ie. in the Blue Zones, there are five on earth where there are high numbers of centenarians. If people eat healthy ie. a vegan diet which reduces risks for heart disease/strokes/cancer....exercise regularly, take K2/D3/calmag/omega threes from flax, algae, and walnuts for example/B vitamins best I think from food source verses synthetic vitamins, think positive, have compassion for oneself and all others..all these factors contribute to long healthy lives. At the turn of the century it was a celebration to reach 70 in high quality health now many people do, I think 120-140 is the next benchmark with all that we are learning about health and nutrition from western to eastern medicine and philosophies.
Oh, good grief! Gotcha learned to cry like your baby! Who is going to be the one waking you at 2am? lolol!
Right! XD
Gotcha imitated the cry too ... How much tenderness 😘😘😘 God bless them and bless your family
HAHA Is Gotcha making baby crying sounds?
+Lori Green Sure sounds like it!
Gotcha loves his little human brother, and tries to calm him the best he can. Bless his wee birdy heart.
Well, he certainly picked up that sound quickly! That's entirely too sweet... I hope Oliver and the animals grow up close and happy! 😁
I do too!💙💙
Oh, the baby and Gotcha already have a shared language!
That is too funny when he started making noises like the baby!!! How cute!!
I love this!!! Gotcha is just trying to comfort and mimic Oliver. So cute. My husband and I owned two African Greys until they passed. When I watched Letty trying to get close to baby it was an expression of curiosity and protection. Greys have the highest emotional and Intellectual IQ. I am so blessed by your videos, when I am sick it cheers me up all the time. Pretty soon Gotcha or Letty will be trying to feed Oliver. Blessings to your family.
Seeing how well you take care of Gotcha and how much he trusts you makes my day. I hope he lives as long as you do, and I hope that's long too!
Aww, gotcha is so quiet and gentle near little Ollie, that's so sweet ^^
I can see how much that bird wants to be nice and sweet towards that little baby, gotcha just wants Ollie to love him like their mama loves him
wouldn't it be just lovely if he started to imitate baby screams
nuni he did
Gotcha crying like a baby, that's funny.
So stinkin'cute!! Gotcha has figured out that sound Oliver makes gets everybody's attention, so he's got to try it! Your sweet baby is beautiful, even if he is a boy! Congratulations! your little family, furry and feathered babies included, is just precious .....the love you have for them just oozes from you......beautiful girl, inside and out! !
Such a kind, loving family! Shows all can coexist ..Little Oliver is beautiful.
0:10 - my baby, please don't cry, I love you
It sounds like I love you and mama! Oh baby bird Gotcha!
Yesterday was my birthday and for my birthday I got to watch Gotcha and his wonderful family! The gift of laughter can never be beat!!! My Schnookie ( female umbrella cockatoo) and I love all the funny antics and love that you are kind enough to share!!!
Oh no
Gotcha's gonna pick up on the crying sounds lol
+ScootsNB
Hehe, that might sooth the baby if someone empathises and cries with him, but poor parents :)
Furry
Wow Gotcha was very concerned about the baby crying! What A Sweetheart!!!
I will say it again: your Gotcha videos should be mandatory for anyone thinking of buying a cockatoo or any other large bird. You guys set an amazing example. And many congrats on your baby being born and beautiful!
Its great he wants to be friends....a compliment to his owners that their children get trust transference.
Sharing such an intimate moment in your lives including Gotcha is priceless. Glow ha is gentle and obviously smitten with the newest arrival. Cheers! It's a beautiful moment. Thanks for making my day💟
How cute is Gotcha reassuring the baby by telling him he loves him!! So Sweet. You mentioned (somewhere??) that Gotcha started out wanting to bite family members. Did he ever try to bite you? How did you extinguish biting behavior? What did you do to build trust when you first adopted him? How did he develop such a vocabulary? The loving kindness in your family is remarkable. I am so happy for you to now add little Oliver to the "brood." What a beautiful baby, beautiful family. Kate, your laughter cracks me up!
Hi Donna ☺️ gotcha has bit me many times.
Though he clicked and developed a relationship right away, there was still an aggressive side to gotcha that would come out of the blue from time to time.
Thankfully though he's never bit me with the intention of doing serious damage.
Moluccan cockatoos can deliver a bite force of up to 500 lbs.
he has drawn blood and bruised but thankfully he hasn't sent me to the ER for stitches.
As far as helping to stop the biting goes, birdy timeouts are the most affective!
Let's him know that he was naughty and to not display such behavior while still maintaining a healthy relationship and not harming our bond.
When he's naughty or showing aggressive behavior I simply tell him NO give him a disappointed glare, toss a designated "naughty towel" over him, gently place him in his cage and cover him up so its dark, for 10-20 minutes maximize.
Then when his timeout is over I uncover him like nothing happened!
I've repeated and stayed consistent with this method and it's very affective ☺️
He developed his vocabulary on his own.
Each parrot is so different! Some can say hundred of words and phrases and sounds while I've known others to never speak a word their whole lives.
Earning a parrots trust just takes a lot of time, patience, understanding, and unconditional love.
Sometimes it can take a few weeks, or a few months, or even well over a year or more to earn their trust.
It all depends on the dedication on the person, the personality of the bird, how well the 2 click, and many other factors play a role in earning trust.
Ultimately though it just takes a lot of love time and commitment. 💙💜💗
+Donna L P.S. I have had Henny since she was 5 wks old and she is now 16. She is such a sweetheart and so smart. She likes to meditate with me! Aren't we all so lucky to share our lives with such precious souls.
+Donna L aww! Yes we are. It's an honor to be able to share our lives with these amazing creatures 💙💙💙💙
I hope all goes well!
Harness training can be tricky, but if you can make it a fun and exciting exercise then training should be a bit Easier 😄
Aww he's so sweet with the baby-such a great friend. Congrats on beautiful baby Oliver and best of luck with your new family.
Trying to comfort your baby! How precious
How could people possibly hate this 😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠
it is amazing
Gotchya is so sweet trying to sooth Oliver, mumbling "I love you, I gotchyu" to him, awwww! too adorable!
awe he is crying with the baby !! how sweet , I love how he tells the baby "I love you"
So so adorable words can't describe its amazing how gotcha looked so worried about baby Oliver 🌺
Ohhh Gotcha I just love you! What a great bird. You make me smile with your antics. This however is the SWEETEST video. You are a wonderful bird & so very Smart..
Gotcha, you are right I should have never implied or insinuated that you are anything more than a loving mother and person. The amount of love you have as a person is obvious, and as a mother of four my feelings would be hurt if someone assumed something about me as a mother. So sorry
It's quite alright! I really appreciate the response/apology. Most don't respond after I do, take care and bless you ☺️💜
Thank you! And bless you and your family!😀💜
+Tonya Gallaher 😄 Thankyou!!
Tonya Gallaher that was the nicest apology I've ever seen on social media! 🐥🐥🐥 (I have no gold stars so you get birdies :) )
How cool is that. He sounds like the baby that bird is so smart
Oh my goodness! This was sweet! Oliver is absolutely precious. I have a feeling your gonna have all kinds of baby cries & noises coming from all over the house😂 I am totally looking forward to more clips of Oliver and his siblings :)
How about if everyone just enjoys the videos for what they are, and not criticize and offer advice. If your any kind of fan, you would know Katie is a loving, caring person, and I'm SURE a fantastic Mother. I would hate to see the videos stop because she feels overwhelmed by unnecessary advice. Much love to the whole family! ❤
☺️ I appreciate that! Thankyou 💙
But It takes a lot to get me worked up lol. Videos will keep coming, I've nothing to hide from Gotcha's fans 💗💙💜
Lol that's so cute. Aw sounds like gotcha was mimicking Oliver to kindof talk to him. then daddy got the baby and gotcha was like.. ooo I can make that noise and ill get mote loves too. Lol just a first glance thought.
Dad is a natural, Oliver is beautiful... Love your videos!
He's imitating the baby crying!
gotcha is like "this is you: 'waaaah!'" lol
Lol
Sounds like Gotcha is trying to imitate Oliver.
This is so cute. Gotcha is going to imitate the baby crying and Oliver is going to say "I got you" as one of his first phrases, LOL. Can't wait to see it. Thank you for sharing your life with us!
Welp, Gotcha learned a new sound effect. Now you get baby sounds in stereo.
Lol no he made those whiny sounds long before baby got here lol.
Yeah, I've lived through both my siblings grow up and that's definatly just a grumpy baby complaining about something :) Gotcha's so cute, talking right back to him. They're gonna be one heck of a duo someday!
He is an adorable bird 😍😘
What a big old love Gotcha is! ♥
So sweet. I think Gotcha was saying "Don't worry my little Cherub Oliver, your wings will grow in soon, then we can fly around the house together".
Oh Katy, gotcha is wonderful with the baby. He tried to soothe him. Katy y'all have the prettiness baby I have ever seen and doesn't look like a newborn at all. Kiss them boTh for me please. Y'all are great people!!!!! 😊😊💋💋👼💞💞💞💖
I am so glad you are sitting with Gotcha and letting him know the baby has not replaced him.
How precious!!! Telling Oliver he loves him
Gotcha is adorable, and so is the baby. "I love you." That's so sweet!😍😍
He's going to start crying like the babie, that'll get him his attention! Only another 70 years of crying now!
awe that baby is SO FREAKING ADORABLE
Awww so cute he's mimicking the baby....bless both their hearts🤗
gotcha thinks he's got competition in the noise department, lol. Thank you for sharing :)
It was so nice of gotcha to say i love you to Oliver.
What a lovely video! May Oliver enjoy many happy and healthy years growing up in your loving family! And may all of you together experience the happiness and love that comes with growing together as a family. Best wishes and love to you all! 😃👪🐦🐥🐕🐶💕💞
Congratulations on the new baby, he's so cute!
Gotcha said “I love you “ and “Oliver.” So cool!
This actually makes me wanna cry a little...
Such a cute bird. He knows how to calm a baby down.
Now THAT is precious.
Oh he's learning quick! 😁 Both of your boys are beautiful!
awww gotcha said to the baby I love you
I LOVE his little voice!
Gotcha you sound so adorable you baby.😍😍😍
Reminds me of when I was a baby how there were some little birds we owned and when I was fussy they would sing to me.
What a sweet moment. Gotcha is so sensitive to the energy in his space. It's almost as if he's trying to soothe Baby Oliver.
Oh what a beautiful boy congratulations so precious. I think u are gonna be a perfect Mom. Gotcha saying "I love u" and Mama he looked like he was a lil worried. U have a perfect family, so happy for u!!!
Soooo cute!!
LOL It is easy to predict that Oliver's first words may be taught by Gotcha.
that's so sweet of gotcha! 💖
Both such handsome boys ❤️
Is gotcha trying to make the same noises as the baby?
Aww how sweet what a great bird
Gotcha has the most expressive eyes ❤️
You're such a good mommy to all your babies! Human and other form! Seriously sweet! Love your videos!
Was gotcha crying like Ollie toward the end of the video?
Yes. Isn't that the cutest thing?
He wanted attention like Ollie
Gotcha is crying too!
Hehee! Cotcha learned to cry like baby Oliver. LOL
gotcha is so sweet!
I got booted from a Facebook group of Conure owners because I let my bird and my cat hang out together. Didn't matter how careful I was, how completely I explained the specific situation and circumstances, you'd have thought little Justice would have been better off being destroyed when he hatched, than to be living with me and the devil feline. (Justice was born without feet and the breeder was going to kill him because she couldn't make enough profit off him. All my babies are rescues.) Anyway, carry on mama! Your babies look fat and happy!
Good riddance to them!!! :-D
wow didn't take him long to learn baby crying...... so cool..... I learned to growl when I was little then purr ..... sometimes at 57 I still do it.....
Awwww, Gotcha is so sweet & caring & adorable & Oliver is gorgeous 💗
Awww...that's beautiful! I love how the first I Love You gave Baby Oliver peace!
Ahhh, seemed like Gotcha was getting upset with Oliver crying and trying to comfort him! So sweet. Just made me want to cuddle Oliver, he is just so gorgeous.
Awwwww.... that is so sweet of Gotcha. Sounds like he was also trying to say Oliver as well as mimic his crying. Gotcha isn't quite sure other than assure Oliver verbally about what to do about the crying lol.. Just such an adorable catch Momma Katie. Just love this one
Glad to see all yr family is important and that at a really young age Oliver is learning that by crying doesn't mean you move Gotcha for him....I think Gotcha knows how important Oliver is☺
its so cute how gotcha is trying to act like the baby maybe gotcha is trying to make the baby happy.😆😘😝♥💜❤💛💚💙
What a sweet baby. I love how Gotcha is making baby noises at Oliver. You must be so pleased at how sweet Gotcha is being. Thank you so much for sharing! I think I might be lactating now. Haha
It's a great job, sharing attention, u can see how curious he is! By his eyes
