- I know lots of you have been asking about where I came from and why I look the way I do. It took mommy a few days because she works and had to get some back history. So here I go. My vet says I am approximately 15 years old (but we will never really know). I am a Goffins Cockatoo and we typically live 40-60 years.
I had a daddy a long time ago who loved me very much and I lived with him for a long time and then he died which made me very sad because I loved him a lot.
His family did not know what to do with me so I got passed around a lot. I ended up with one family member who put me in a basement by myself because they didn't like my yelling (I just wanted attention plus you know I am a bird and we do that). They got mad that I was still screaming so they put me outside for a long time by myself in a very small cage with no toys and only 1 perch. They weren't very nice and would yell and throw things at my cage when I would yell for attention. I stayed in my cage for 5 years and was never allowed to leave.
Eventually another family member came and got me and dumped me at a pet store where I lived for a year and they kept me in the same tiny cage and fed me sausage rolls and sausage McMuffins (how did I know this wasn't good for me?) They kept me covered because they didn't like my screaming either I swear I just wanted attention. The owner said I had to go.
One day this really nice lady came in and it was the first time anyone had tried to hold me in so long! I was so happy and she was such a nice lady I let her hold me and I was just so happy to have someone pay attention to me I went home with her! I lived with this nice lady for 2 years but sadly her mommy got very sick. She said her brain wasn't right anymore and would leave windows and doors open and would spray poisonous stuff around the house (it wasn't her fault she didn't know she was sick) so mommy thought the safest place for me would be to go to the rescue in the hopes that I would find another nice family that would understand and love me. She was so sad and cried but I know she only did it to make me safe.
The nice people at Florida Parrot Rescue took me in and my mommy and daddy (now) volunteered to foster me. They only had me for a few months before they fell in love me (I mean who couldn't love this!) and adopted me forever and ever.
For those that don't know birds like me who go through traumatic things like this it is very hard on us. Like you we bond very deeply with our humans and when they are mean we start bad habits sometimes kind of like when you guys bite your fingernails (feather pulling). Mommy and daddy are working on this with me but it's going to be a long process and I may never be able to get over the ugly people. But I know I am loved and mommy and daddy let me out to dance and hold me all the time! I eat really good now and they don't even mind it when I scream (probably because my birdie sister has a bigger mouth).
Anyway, I sure am happy now and now I get to dance my heart out for the rest of my life!

This is the kinda stuff that redeems social media.
And people.

@@spasibovseproebali1537 I think I agree.
For real!
Another VERY WELL PUT POINT I DIDN'T EVEN THINK OF,
When we're in discussion regarding socio-economic-political media, it's usually in the "Aren't you sick of all this BS"
type of light /context.
I don't have twitter, ignored my 1 flakebook/fakebook page over 8 yrs. ago by 95% & that's it Except
whatsapp as I'm close to people around the world a bit? TH-cam is about it.
Griffi is turning into an international superstar, and she deserves all the attention!!
I'm hypnotised by her. She makes me so happy.))
@@phoebsc5993 Griffi Griffi Griffi, can't you see, sometimes your moves just hypnotize me!
@@ilsevanderbij7179 lol 😂
@@ilsevanderbij7179 Ha Ha 👍😂🐣🐤🐥🐦💖✨
@@ilsevanderbij7179 woo hoo. I love this lil birb.
She has such great parents. She makes my day when i watch her.
John Smith , so true ! Everybody loves Griffie. She's so cute !
I'm Hooked!!
How long have you had her/him
And have you noticed the plucking getting any less since you’ve had her??
Griffi's the bomb and I love to see that she got so many presents.
Griffi's dad is a quiet cool guy with lots of patience.
looks like he works his ass off. much respect
Thank you 😊 💓 for bring real. Giving your life as I had to them. So much love to ya'll
@@easterdm thats my first thought as well. Looks like a guy putting in 10-12 hour workdays for years.
And those are always the folks that really understand giving back to others. Her parents are wonderful 💜
@@easterdm Strange observation, but OK.
She's trying like hell to get that neck thing off 😂 Bless her lil 💗
Playing with All these wonderful toys will take her mind off of it I'm hoping. Kisses for Griffi! 🤗😘
I was thinking the same....we all Love Griffi💕🎶
And she will at one point !!
You are such a great person and family to take care of such a poor little birby dinosaur. Griffi is so lucky to have such loving Mumther and Dadther caregivers. Thank you very much. Looking forward to seeing more dancing.
You
@@johnjaleco5683 was that comment necessary ?
@@thelordismyshepherd1366 was yours ?
@@johnjaleco5683 not necessary but not rude either. Just saying that wasn’t nice. People are struggling these days no need to make them feel worse. God bless you.
@@johnjaleco5683 Let’s just enjoy the bird show. I crack up every time 😆. Have a great day.
Think how majestic she will feel with all her feathers. That wing jab will be something.
@@thisaccount4321 we can hope though. 🤞
Darn Tootin!!!!!!!!
She might grow enough feathers to fly, but on her chest, it looks like the feather follicles are gone and they don’t regenerate. I have a Goffin’s who keeps her worst places where they are hard to see. Like across the top of her wings in the side next to her body the feather are gone, but she has left all her flight and covert feathers alone. She also has bare legs. She has always been like this, so nothing is getting worse than it was. I am her third owner and she came to me like this.
Usually takes a month to make or break a habit. If you can keep him from picking at himself this long you could have it beat. Thanks for sharing her with us. Thanks to the fans that sent him gifts.
But is she really breaking the habit? She's pecking at the collar, which looks a lot like feathers. I was thinking she might be fitted with an Elizabethan collar, like dogs and cats get at the vets when, you know.
*she
That would be in human psychology, and doesn't necessarily apply to habits formed through trauma. I do hope her all the best though!
After my sister's dog had eye surgery, she got her an inflatable collar. It was an inner tube that she wore around her neck. The dog didnt care for it at first but was soon running around as if it was nothing. She healed up perfectly. I wish the same for Griffi.💞
@@GIitchclan12 however it should really help though! The only way to break trauma habits is to restrict the animal from doing it and then replacing that habit with positive affirmations and things that the animal likes. Such as her music and being able to dance and be with people who distract her from the pain of having her habit restricted.
Gtiffi's humans are doing a great job.
I like that you're showing everybody what can happen to these lovely souls.
This makes me so happy. Youll get there lil Griffy. Much love from the UK xxx
She is a beautiful and happy little baby I love watching her dance 💖💖💖💖
I just adore Griffi! She is a gift for all of us. Thank you for sharing her.
I love the way she keeps trying to unwrap her gifts! It never ceases to amaze me how much personality is in such a small package.
Bless her heart, everyone is so kind sending her present 🎁 🦜♥️
Very sweet of them all.
Griffi is an absolute angel on earth, sent here to remind us to CHOOSE KINDNESS, EMBRACE TOLERANCE and STRIVE for PEACE ON EARTH...Thank you for your amazing gift! ❤️🙏🏻🕊️🌞
We just want what's best for you! I hope Griffi gets used to her neck scarf! Besides being wonderful bird, cat, dog, parents, you both seem to be just wonderful people in general!! Thank you for your content!
Just good can't-hearted love and salt of the earth people
Mr microphone make that kind-hearted
Griffi is going to have the coolest cage on the block!
Griffi is the best! She has so many wonderful gifts, as well as loving parents to take the focus off her own feathers. Loved the new country video, but her Stick Figure video was the best! Much love!
To see this little baby happy is everything. The beautiful comes from inside! Love her dance moves too!
Agreed, Looks aren't everything! 😎
Griffies dad looks like he just did a double shift and could use some rest.
Oh! That so sweet! My heart goes out to Miss Griffi!🥰😘😍❤️❤️❤️
Griffi is so adorable ! I watch her dance every morning since I first saw her last month.Griffi is a good light hearted start to my long days and I thank you for posting!
I'm glad she has loving parents.
Thank you mommy and daddy for taking care of your baby Griffi!
I'm thinking of adopting one, she's pretty smart. I enjoyed the video. I hope you do?
I am so in love with your little Griffie 😍 . Thank you for saving her and showing her what love is.
Excellent. I’m excited about her feathers growing back and look forward to seeing it. Please persevere, she won’t like it but she’ll get used to it. It’s better she plucks at that instead of her feathers. 🪶
Griffi is NOT feeling this! 🤣🤣🤣
She's like, What in Tarnation?! Angry dancing bird.🤣
@@beasaroseco5840 Lolol!
this little birdie brings me so much joy
I hope she gets used to it. and it doesnt stress her out cant help but thinking the non fluffy one might be better because its less bulky ive seen people put sweaters/socks on their birds too. shes such a precious little birdy
She’s perfect no matter what and looks like she got tons of fun toys bet that’s one happy bird
When I see how kind strangers are to this sweet little bird, it restores a bit of my faith in humanity.
Griffi is persistent and determined! She’s about to get that collar off!!! Lol
Love the "I'ma just taking a nibble of it before I go back to destroying my scarf' while you unwrap her presents!!.😁👏💖
That little birdy will be the lord of bird island!
The Lord of Dance!!
@@TheDjnatronic The Lord of the "Little Bird Dance!"
This must be the bird equivalent of chewing your nails. Love Griffi !!
Hope her anti plucking collar works and her beautiful feathers come back!
Doubt she will grow proper feather again, but if she at least gets a coat of down, it will help protect her skin.
@ Pandemic right and mostly they need to keep her from bleeding, it’s not healthy
Im very sorry to hear shes still feather plucking, i can tell you guys are wonderful people who take great care of her and i hope the new accessory breaks that bad habit very soon
Bless her.. no more musty basement for this baby .. she's got a fabulous porch and awesome new family.. oh.. and a worldwide fan club 💖
I was just thinking about a "cone of shame" that might help. But the frilly scarf idea is better than what I'd have thought up. She's a hoot.!
Griffi is the light in a dark world. Brings so much love and joy to our hearts. Bundles of love from England to beautiful Griffi and her wonderful family. Thank you for sharing her with us all ❤❤❤
Her eyes are so beautiful 😍💗
The “ best” of people! So kind and caring for Giffi😍
I don't think she likes her new collar. It appears her feathers have grown back since the last video I watched. Thats awesome !
Her feathers Will Never grow back . Sad but true. The roots are dead and she's old . Too late for this . Younger birds this is even hard to happen.
@@lovingit4450 I have seen birds older than her able to grow their feathers entirely back. I believe it varies by bird, and even with all the plucking it appears her feathers still grow back very fast
@@lovingit4450 - I didn't know that. It is sad but I'm sure she doesn't care about her looks. She's happy with her new parents. Thanks for the education.
@@ang1692 yeah you can see a couple of months ago some of her feathers did grew back.. unfortunately she plucked them.. a few feathers is better than none! Cute Griffi 😍 😊
I dont know how i found your channel but so happy i did.
What a wonderful home Miss Griffi has.
Awesome - Griffi is a beautiful girl to begin with, so we can only imagine how elegant and gorgeous she will look with a full set of plumage! Of course, her beauty really comes from the inside, and only grows outward from there!!!
Happy to see so much love to this little baby, who really is deserving of TLC!!
God Bless Y'all!!
Wow its Christmas for griffi...have a great day☺
I love how people have taken this little bird into their hearts 💗 everyone wants her to get better and stop over grooming , it is so sweet. She is amazing, she's got a lust for life 💗☮️🌟 keep going girl you make my day 😘🇬🇧
What a little bundle of joy, always so happy. Such a Sweetheart. God Bless youse for taking such good care of her and allowing all of us to see her so happy dancing.
She is so gorgeous 😍💖💗💕
U guys are so awesome. I love how u take such good care of Griffi
God Bless you mom and dad! Griffi loves her fam ! So cute!
I hope Griffi enjoys the gifts!
So glad she got that collar to stop her plucking her feathers out.
Thank you for what you are doing for her👏😎
Griffi I wish you all the best. We can’t wait to see how it works for you.
We all love her and we want her to be healthy
She is the sweetest
Bless you guys for rescuing
Glad you received the gift
You are most welcome 🙏
She really has great timing, she likes music that is in 4/4 timing. When the music hits on one she expresses herself with actions and vocals. One cool bird...
Looking forward to see her transformation, it will be a magical moment, lots of love from down under
That little bird shows and gives such joy I hope she keeps getting gifts because she surely deserves it . We see on tv such hate and lack of love in our world it's good for people to be reminded everyone deserves to be happy and loved . Let this animal be a reminder to all even this parrot has what so many of us humans reject and take for granted . Stop and think about life and enjoy it instead of hurting others .God Bless all .
I've been wondering if you had ever tried something like this! 👏 I hope and pray that it works for you Griffi!!! ❤ Thank you guys for saving her! 💛
Pappa looks like a hard working family man. I love your kitty.
Awww, she just wants to break free from the chains and dance!
How do we donate? 🙌❤️
Griffi u so cute thank u for takeing care of griffi💞💞💖💖💖
Thousands of hours watching you tube on every subject under the sun...
Then I found you Griffi! So funny little baby!
Noticed her sister wearing a collar at the Florida show. It’ll take time for the feathers to grow back - a lot of patience from her and you.
Must be worth it. She’s lovely.
Too cute! Griffi is a very special bird and I am so fortunate to have found this channel. Huge props to the dad for being so loving and patient! You guys are awesome for saving and loving Griffi. Thank you for sharing!
I have fallen in love with Griffii. I can't wait to see her videos. They just make me happy. Thank you
I think eventually she'll realize that she's loved and safe ! Maybe she'll just quit with enough of your love and care ! We can only hope ! I love watching her dance , it just makes my day 💗💕💓
I’m sure she knows she’s loved and safe but won’t stop plucking because it’s become a habit
Yes , I realize this ! I also have an Amazon blue fronted parrot who is about 20 years old ! But they can change habits with lots of patients and love 💘 .
@@aminahhanima8710 habits are made to be broken
Griffi is really trying that collar around her sure hope it works she is such a sweetheart.❤
I love her....I hope she still dances
The best part of all Griffi videos is that she knows exactly what's going on haha
I pray that this works for her and she can grow her feathers back. I love your videos of her. 💕
I just sent Griffi a gift from her Amazon list! Thank you for rescuing him. 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
Ohhhh! She deserves it all! She is a very special gift from God. She makes people very happy 😃🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Looking good Griffi🤗
She looks so festive in her collar! 😊💃
Makes me cry, im homeless so i dont have much to give or i would support you in the blink of an eye.
What a genuinely nice thought and suggestion however there are so many that love this little bird I think she will definitely be taking care of by the fantastic TH-cam viewers my wish and thought is that you can find what you need and want to make you happy stay safe. 😎
I'm just glad you get to enjoy my joy and happiness!
@@griffithedancingcockatoo Thank you.
@@griffithedancingcockatoo I am a big time animal lover/pet owner at 70. I have a special connection birds. Griffi & I are alike. No kidding. Can I be President of her fanclub(haha?!?!?!) Please pray for my Alz Dementia wife, I am on 24/7 duty. Thanks & May the LORD continue to bless you for taking care of Griffi.
@@lionheartmerrill1069 your wife is in my prayers and you to !! Hang in there !!! Does your wife watch Griffi videos with you?
Aww, she hates that collar 🤣
I wish for this little soul to live forever...she is the best.
Thats beautiful hope she gets used to it
Lmao my cockatiel any plastic thing you put near her she does the exact same thing they are obsessed with something they can never have.
Thanks TH-cam for show me this little precious baby and thanks Griffi for exist. and thanks to you for taking care of her
Since your channel came across my recommendation list, I've subscribed and shared with everyone I know, customers at my job LOVE Griffi!
👐🏽GRIFFI The Magnificent 👐🏽
Gonna need a much larger house for all her toys lol. She deserves the best 💞
Love your new birb collar sweetie 🥰
Think your Rooster brother wants some of your goodies 😂😂
She looks like my dog pissed at me when I put boots on him to keep his feet from getting muddy...🤣🤣🤣🤣...had to keep doing it..bless her! I love dis little birb!
Cutest ever! Shes an ambassador for birds! 🙏🏻😊❤️
We all wanna see her in all her splendour.
It would be so great to see griffi grow her feathers back! Even though we love her just the way she is God bless her tiny heart
Be careful that she does not eat the fabric or string on the collar! The yellow band looks better.. Griffy is really a sweet little chicken! Gotta try anything to grow those feathers. Good gifts!
She knows the difference between fabric/nylon and food, thanks for your concern though
Man I am not trying to start anything...but seriously, you think those two kind, gentle, caring intelligent people would put Griffy in any sort of danger at all? But I guess back-seat drivers are just trying to help right?
Chicken?
I’m wondering, Griffi’s mom, if by any chance she itches, and that’s why she still tries to pluck herself.
It couldn’t be because she’s stressed or fearful, or because she feels neglected or abandoned, because you and your family wonderfully take care of all that.
I so want to see her feathers growing back!
She is a sweet, beautiful lil girl
Griffi is my drug of choice 🤗❤🤗
Bless you both, for being such wonderful people to this beautiful girl. May God bless you two, and thank you oh for being such incredible human beings 💛🙏 P. S. I think you two deserve presents too🤗 🎁
Sooo cute you guys are the best !!!
I love that you've responded to all tbe questions 🥰 so glad to learn more about your birdy and you guys are so amazing to housing this birdy and all the other animals 🥰🥰
Need some more dancing videos with some 1980s hits
Yeah!! : ). Talking Heads/This Must Be The Place(Naive Melody)...to start with.She would Love that song!! &Life During Wartime &Take Me To The River!! my 3 Favorite Songs..
