- Ash adopted Koko about 10 years ago from a friend who adopted him from a centre. He was being abused by his previous owner with a pen. Koko was born in 1940 which makes him 83 years old as of 2023. When he went home, Koko was scared and was aggressive towards Ash. But after a while he slowly started to warm up to his new family. Koko now lives an amazing life, still proving that age is just a number.

What's the oldest animal you've ever met in your life?
A over 100 year old tortoise. It was in a Fijian zoo. We got to be near it without a big iron bars.
Yeah, galapagos Island tortoises grazing on the lawn openly at Melbourne Zoo. Gorgeous. Birds are quite difficult to keep in optimal health for 80years. That birb was very lucky to survive the abuse he endured.
a crocodile of more than 65 years old , the local authorities & villagers confirmed it because of his tail which was marked by certain incisions from very young age and they will not grow back they called him (old one in the water)
My dead sister's dog is 17 years old and my dog is 15. Two dogs I've had in the past lived to be 16 years old. So I guess they are the oldest animals I've ever met. Beautiful parrot. Happy trails to you and God bless.
38 yo my yn amazon still alive
Cannot figure out why, or how anyone can abuse an animal or bird. So happy that Koko is living a happy life now in a loving home.
A lot of people are completely unprepared for how unnaturally loud birds are. They have no idea how it is going to impact their day to day lives. I think my bird is relatively quiet compared to many others and it is still a challenge. This combined with the belief that animals are "less than" humans could make someone harm them. It sickens me too but there's your explanation. I also hate that people think birds are easier to care for or a good starter pet for kids because they are smaller than cats or dogs. Birds are much harder to care for than cat or dogs when you are caring for them properly. I still think we have a culture that values humans above all then cats and dogs and then other animals.

I remember my Aunt & Uncle had a large parrot, it was surprisingly very noisy. You could say something in one room, and the parrot would respond in another. I was very little when they had him, but he was a very sweet natured bird.
@@susank2019 I agree with all of this, but I'd also add teh biting. A pen isn't something big to hit a bird with, my guess would be that came about because of a fear of being bitten if putting a hand near the bird & thinking it could be taught not to bite by being smacked with the pen, much like some smack a child to teach it not to do undesired behaviours
btw, if you haven't already figured it out, you can use bird videos to manage the noise, not stop it, but control what time of day it occurs at. That's what I do with mine, cause they're time shifted to fit with me, but I can't have them squawking after my elderly neighbour has gone to bed at night, so we do morning screams to the wild birds or video birds so that we'll be nice & quiet in the evenings :)
I honestly hope you are a vegan because if you are not you are an animal abuser, my friend.
Very happy he is now in a loving home
I always said if you can't offer love to an animal, and expect to spend lots of money and time on them, don't. Let someone else adopt them, especially birds. These guys live forever and need someone ready to care for them througg old age, health issues, etc. Thank you very much to this beautiful couple for rescuing koko, having his eye removed so now he can be the energetic. Happy, health bird that he is 🥰🦜💚
Amazing. 83 years old! He tells his stories, probably, in a thousand ways. So pleasing to see him contented now.
Wish he could talk and tell us his stories.
A bird cannot live that long so what is 83 years old in human age??
@@machucagostoso9073 parrots can live 70-100 years. Well documented. Who cares what it is in human years. The larger the parrot, the longer they live.
@@michelehemlokhexwhite4310 the reason why parrots live longer than humans is that parrots eat real healthy foods unlike most humans eat junk garbage foods known as the great culling useless eaters, your governments doesn’t care about you! 🤣🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑
That bird is as old as my father. My parents were born before India became independent.
Omfg. 83 YEARS?
Fucking wow.
Hope his and family last many years.
My dog just died.. So hard to process even her 16yrs
All the best best to you ❤❤❤, beautiful bird 😍
Large parrots live a very long time. Some live to be over 100 years. Charley the Blue and Gold macaw is 120 years old.
He is as old as my grandmother. 😮 Wow! I'm happy this old soul is with a loving family now.
He was hatched when WW2 just started!!!! 😯 He was there when the Beatles came on the scene, the moonlanding!!! He really needs to be respected and spoilt rotten and that is what his family is doing. 💞💞💞💞
How can anyone abuse a beautiful bird! Makes me want to puke. People suck. Thank God he finally got a good home for the last few years of his life.
Thank you for taking loving care of this old boy. He's living the best life now because of you lovely people.
Any cruelty to animals is unacceptable. Thank you and God bless you for helping him.
Parrots and Cockatoos are very intelligent and make wonderful pets. But, I think it is cruel to cage any bird. They need to be in their own environment.
Thank you making his senior years safe and pleasurable, I'm sure it makes all the difference to him! 🥰
What a sweet, new boy he is! He now has the life he ALWAYS deserves!!!! He has a very special Mommy and Daddy 🥰
Bless you all a zillion times over for saving this lovely parrot.
What a beautiful story. Yes. There is an exotic bird crises in the world. It's so sad. Thank you for bringing attention to this horror and thank you for rescuing this beautiful winged creature.🦜♥️
Taht's why export laws from Australia are so strict! You'll notice that Aussie birds aren't actually that common in other countries (other than budgies & cockatiels), if people want Aussie species, they compromise & find ones also found in Indonesia, cause it's easier to get them. Birds are much better off kept in the wild! Such a shame tht more cities don't build to be bird friendly, so that people can enjoy wild birds visiting their homes each day, instead of having to breed & cage them to experience that
@@mehere8038 Exactly 💯
I love the message at the end of your videos. It’s so important to do your research before adopting. It really reduces the numbers of abandonments and makes happier pets and owners. Thank you.
Thank you for your kind words and appreciation! We strongly believe in the importance of responsible pet ownership and doing proper research before adopting. It not only helps create happier and healthier relationships between pets and their owners but also reduces the number of abandonments. Your support means a lot to us. Thank you for watching and sharing in our mission. 🐾❤️
I recommend reading the book called The Parrot Who Owns Me by Joanna Burger. It will give you an idea of what is involved in adding a parrot to your family.

Thank goodness he was rescued and loved he’s so beautiful!
I had similar with my boy, came with a glove & told he bites & is a horrible bird, get him proper medical care & medication for his arthritis pain & guess what? No more biting & he becomes a beautiful tempered bird. Mine still has a lot of emotional issues from his life of abuse, but the pain relief certainly makes a HUGE difference to his personality & also to his relationship with his girl, who used to be scared of him because of his constant pain related tantrums, now he's totally henpecked & dominated by her lol
@Me Here It's incredible how proper care, medical treatment, and love can transform an animal's behavior and improve their overall well-being. Your dedication to providing medical care and addressing your bird's pain has made a significant positive impact on his temperament and relationship with his companion. It's heartwarming to see the healing power of love and compassion. 🐦💕
Thank you for doing God's work 😊🙏
He is a WWII Baby!!!...im so happy for him!
Love it 83 is the new 23. He loves you guys and his friend so he's now living his best years thanks to your care and love ❤
👍👍😍😍😍 my cat was found in a dump with only one eye. Now he is happy with us ,he is so kind and sweet.
So happy he found this kind couple for his golden years.
He is a darling, and you, his parents, are so dear to have him as your pet. May God bless you for your love and kindness to such a sweet and beautiful creature of His.❤️🐈
wonderful beautiful people
Thank God he got a wonderful home with you guys. Thank you for your help and for loving him.
Happy to see him happy ; he does not know ,or does not look 83 ; he remains a little baby .
Aaahhh, wat lief van jullie en wat een schat is hij!!
"he is getting younger every day". Wow, prrof vegetable, fruit, sunlight and touching the earth is so good for you. So wonderful, this old guy could have stayed in a shelter.
Koko looks damn good for an octogenarian! Good for this couple to take care of grandpa parrot.
Awe ❤ Thank you for being so kind to this poor fella. And for giving him a chance to live out the remainder of his life feeling safe and loved. ❤🙏🏼
Thankyou Thankyou. ❤ ❤❤❤
Awwwwww.He’s so cute and goofy never knew parrots could live that long
Not all parrots have that sort of lifespan, but larger parrots (like Cockatoos) do.
Smaller ones like Budgies and Cockatiels typically have a lifespan of around 20 - 30 years.
@@SuperChaos002 ye ik my parrots didn’t live long :( i didn’t nt expect a 80 yr life span
@@hfinightfury9136 it's 100 years for some
What a handsome boy. May he live another 6 years.
Awwww .... it's lovely Koko has found a loving home to live out the rest of his long life. Parrots are so intelligent, they obviously have feelings ... they need very special homes. I hope Koko had many more birthdays. 😊😊😊😊😊😊
God bless you so much for loving this beautiful beautiful beautiful parrot 🦜🦜. y'all are awesome ❤️.
Bless this beautiful boidie and those who love him ❤️🪶🦜💚
A one eyed pirate parrot ha,ha. Thank you for adopting him and taking care of his eye. Most people would have lacked the courage to adopt a 83 year old bird. Most would lack the courage to have the eye removed. Many would say he's old anyway and probably not worth to bother and spend money. I am so happy for you and your bird that all things worked out well. Wish you the best!
How utterly vile to treat a beautiful bird like that! 🤬. Thankfully you were there for him
🤗❤️
God Bless you for rescuing this bird.😊
He looks marvellous for his age. It’s wonderful to see him healthy with plenty of companionship - thank you so much for rescuing this special little fellow ❤🤍🥰.
They have no proof he's this old, Amazons rarely live beyond the 30s even with the best of care. They just heard he's that old and keep repeating it.
Thought same thing! ❤❤❤😇
Thank you so much 🙏💚❤️💚❤️💚❤️💚❤️💚❤️💚👍
What a sweet old fellow ❤
Bless Koko and Chico 🥰
You are great people thank God there r a still people like u still on earth ❤️❤️❤️💗💗💗💗💗👍👍👍👍👍👍👍Godbless
I love the cute captions! I am glad this cutie is living his best life. Thanks for caring for him so well. Bless you!
Beautiful dear fellow. So glad he’s living the best years of his life with you ❤
Two amazing people doing what amazing people do, 83 year old parrot 🦜 is something that should be treasured .
aaaah, soooo good. good people.
You are first class humans. 😀
He was born the same year as the german invasion of the Netherlands its a small miracle he survived those first 5 years.
"God bless the beasts and the children"
Let there be hope for the rest of
us as well.
God bless you and the bird🙏😇
I hope everything is fine with him
What a beautiful story. What wonderful people to take care of this bird, and give him the best life that he can have for the time he has left.
Wow he reminds me of the sweet, elderly cockatiel we adopted from the Humane Society, who was missing an eye when he was found, he had almost died from being left in a shoe box in the cold all night. 😢🤬
But he recovered, and he got stronger and happier week by week, he just needed a family who loves him ❤️🦜
There are so many different kinds of animals who need a family, if you have the ability to adopt one and give him or her a loving home, please do! ❤️🦜🐶😺🐇🐭
Thank you for sharing your heartwarming story of adopting a sweet, elderly cockatiel. It's important to remember that animals in need deserve a loving home, and if you have the ability, adopting and providing them with love and care can make a world of difference. ❤️🐾
Awe! Lucky u saved him!👏👏👏👏
So glad he is doing well.
Grateful to the kind people who took him in and decided to give him the best life he could possibly have in his old age. I bet they are Dutch. I'd recognize that accent anywhere lol.
It's wonderful to see the kindness and compassion of the people who provided a loving home for him in his old age, ensuring he has the best possible life.
and yes, they’re Dutch 😉 super cool!!
Thank you both for saving him and giving him a lifetime of love. Love heals and you can see the power ❤
He's 83 years old... he should be spoiled as much as he wants!!
Wow that’s crazy how old he is!!! So cool!!! Glad he is living his best life now ❤
There is no proof he is this old. Amazon parrots rarely live beyond the 30s, even with proper care, and there is no confirmed Amazon parrot beyond the age of 66. They just heard he's that old and keep repeating it. I don't like people spreading misinformation, which is what they are doing.
That's amazing that he's doing so well. I have heard that older parrots are sometimes harder to rehome.
Such great kind people for giving him a loving home to live out the rest of his life.
This guy is a 🇸🇷Surinamese🇮🇳 Indian from 🇱🇺Holland, he’s the best INDIAN WEDDING photographer ever from our community! Do not know him personally but have seen the work he delivered for my family!!! I think he has more parrot’s…… Ashvin G and wife if your reading this I hope that Bhagwan🕉️🕉️🕉️ will bless you both and I hope that time will heal and ease your pain…. Just know that my family and I are proud of you! Sendings loads of Bosie brassa and lots of healing mantra for you and your Wife and fluffy parrot 🦜 kids🩷
Do u know if they have a channel of they're own!? Such a wonderful couple ! Would ❤ 2 follow this 🦜🦜🦜family! 😊 Thank u!
Amazing wonderful human beings 😍 beautiful birds
Please take good care of this innocent angel, I love him lots.
never knew parrots live that long. God bless him with health and happiness.
The lifespan of large parrots like cockatoos,Amazons,macaws,African Greys,eclectus etc. is similar to that of humans. They can live a very long time and in many cases will outlive their human companions. You need to put them in your will and arrange for their future care and guardianship. 🦜
Amazing, a parrot that's 83 years old!
Your both are wonderful people, he's precious 👍
A million thanks for saving this gorgeous innocent parrot true heroes ❤
What an amazing vet! To think of that kind of surgery to help him with the headache pain. Wow!
So happy kind people like you are caring for Koko. May his golden years continue to be joyous. You are angels.
I ❤ the PSA at the end. It shows the poster wants people to be educated adopters & to not just adopt an animal because they think it’s cute.
Who the actual **** beats a tiny bird?!? Thank you for rescuing him
What a sweet story❤
Here I thought my girl was getting old she is still young. She is 31 years old and a handful. Glad to see he is getting loved, mine too was a rescue bird .
You are lovable people. I thank you for your sensitivity and the good you bring to our world!
God bless you beautiful people ❤
Koko is so sweet and I'm so glad you are giving him his best life for as long as he lives. Makes my heart sing! 😄
My first dog was a German shepherd. I was her baby! She never let me out if her sight and never let strangers near me 😄 I was 5 and she was always by my side 💜 when you get one that likes kids, it's amazing!
My last shepherd loved little boys. I think he thought he was a little boy. When we went to the river, if there were kids nearby he's always gravitate towards then
May this birb be spoiled for many more years. He deserves it. They all deserve. it. 🥰
I second that!
🙏 🙏 🙏
BIRD!!!

Wow living up to 83 in spite 😮shows animals tenacity ❤
good on you for giving Koko a whole 2nd happy lifetime of so many years.
He's beautiful, and so are you two.
You've done a good thing.
Wow 83years old & he was being hit that's shocking I'm so happy he is happy & safe now. All our pets ask from us is love & a safe home, it's not much to ask, they at least deserve that, they love us back, we are blessed to have them❤
So glad he's in a safe, loving home now❤😊
God bless you for your kindness and care! He now knows what love is because of you and so I thank you from the bottom of my heart!
Thankyou for your kindness.People like you help me not give up on humanity.
You can see it in the birds face that he's happy.
I absolutely love your animal stories. The humans and critters featured are precious.
Bless your hearts for caring for this magnificent bird ❤
He is so sweet, poor little guy. How could anyone abuse an animal ??
Gosh, you guys made me smile. What a pair of Angels you are.
And the parrot who showcases his gratitude in so many ways, will live out the rest of his life being spoiled, fed delicious treats and surrounded with an abundance of love.
Awwwww, may God bless these people ten million fold...
I see how very kind you both are & it does my heart good to see a sweet animal that has been abused, (cannot imagine him being hit -OMG, what is wrong w/ people?). Thank you. A million times- thank you for saving him. He seems very happy now.
Thank you for giving your birds the best life. So many parrots suffer terrible lives in captivity and their sale as pets should be banned.
That does seem like the most responsible way to have a parrot, adopting and allowing the bird to have the best remaining years of its life instead of getting a bird and having it outlive you by god knows how many years.
mine is 68 and looks just like yours.. some kind of Amazon.. hes a rescue. My parents owned a pet store at the time.. we got him at 40, his previous owners husband didnt like him and pysically abused the bird so the wife brought him to our pet store and juat left him there after explaining everything.. hes a sweet boy and loves his life im happy to see yours is 84 i hope mine live that long and longer they are amazing companions ❤
There is so much abuse all over. Monsters call humans they deserve the worst punishment. But nobody that's anything about it. Put them in jail. Don't feed them for a week,they need to feel pain & been neglected. The law is to easy on this stupid people.
Glad bless you for rescuing Koko. Please take care of him till the end. U will be rewarded.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
thank you so much for rescuing this beautiful bird.
i also rescued the same kind of bird and he has changed my life in diffent ways.
thank you again for rescuing him
this is so wonderful........He now is living heaven on earth.
OMG so many People are so cruel to animals, this cuty can be lucky to find a good Family now😍😍💜
