- Shiloh, the 23 year old parrot, was at the rescue centre for 16 years and was given up by his previous owners for being too noisy. Justyne was volunteering at the shelter and fell in love with the cockatoo. When he came home, he adjusted really well, and started singing like an opera star again!

Would you like to wake up to Shiloh's serenades?🎤
I wouldn't mind!
Waking up to Shiloh's serenades beats waking up to loud and noisy cars by a far any day!
Oh no. Oh NO NO NO NO NO.
lol I wake up to my G2 barking, roaring like a dinosaur, babbling gibberish or calling me. Sometimes he just screams. I’ve never had a bird before that is anything but sleeping quietly in the dark but for some reason cockatoos don’t care what time it is when they get a burst of energy and need to release it from their beak lol. I always get up and go check on him to make sure he’s ok and hasn’t been frightened by something outside. Typically he’s just happily doing his thing. Strange nighttime behavior for a bird, I think. In the wild, birds don’t want to call any attention to themselves when nighttime predators are lurking in the darkness. I wonder why cockatoos are so different in so many ways from any other species of birds lol. It IS what drew me to them in the first place. I love love love my Goffin’s boy. Shout out to my ZaZu for being the best little peachy noisy boy ever lol ❤
Yes!!!
When you look in a parrot's eyes, you swear there is a person in there. Their intelligence level is off the charts for a non-human . . . and sometimes for a human.
There is a person in there!
Cockatoos are people, too! They play, grieve, get angry, learn & solve problems just like us 🥰
Macaws too, they’re not as EXTRA as a Mollucan Too but after 32 years my big bird and I know one another very well. We lost our two smaller parrots, severe macaw and cherry head conure 2017 and 2021 respectively💔. My conure was with me 34 years. Severe macaw I raised from a chick, she was 27. The more time you spend with them they stronger relationship becomes. The bond becomes very strong. Thank you for giving this bird his forever home.
Birds have language. They've proven it before and some people have even been able to understand what they're saying in bird language. Some Native Americans for instance could tell you what the birds were saying to each other warning about how many people were coming, from where, etc.
I've even seen a bird with its handler teaching her the word for objects in bird language. She would say it in English and he would say it in bird. Just because humans are so short sighted we walk around thinking we're the only people with language while animals and even insects communicate with each other constantly. I find it not only beautiful to know they're self aware beings who communicate and love like we do but incredibly sad because people treat animals like they don't understand anything and hurt them constantly like they don't matter.
If a parrot was in a shelter, he would have been adopted within a day.
I met Shiloh at the Wilson Parrot Foundation about 5 years ago. He was very sweet, but subdued. He would hold up his claw and say "hello" because he really wanted to be held. I'm so happy to see how well he's doing. His family has really brought him out of his shell 😀
I'm crying
BECAUSE OF *YOU* SETH
Bless your hearts! 16 years in a shelter?!? These birds crave interaction. I'm so happy that Shiloh has the right home now. I need a Kleenex!! Tears of joy.
I was smiling all the way watching this adorable bird who has definitely found a wonderful home 😍
Exactly ❤
Your smile is our joy! We're thrilled that Shiloh's antics brought a smile to your face.Thanks for joining in on the joy! 😍
the collar only makes him more adorable!
I watched a video of guy whose neighbors called the police because they heard someone screaming “help! Let me out!” Cops came, found it was the bird. I loved it!
I've seen that one! It was an Amazon lol.
A bird got a woman sent to jail for killing her husband, the parrot was the star witness.
Omg that was so funny!! As soon as the man said I'll go get the culprit, I knew it was a naughty little birb 😆
@@myview5840 I saw that plot on a Perry mason rerun.
Seeing him jumping around on the bed at the end there was absolutely adorable. Bless Justyne for doing learning all about Cockatoo’s to give Shiloh the best possible life. He’s certainly found a fantastic home ❤🇦🇺
Absolutely, that scene of Shiloh jumping around on the bed is a daily dose of joy! Justyne has been a blessing, putting in the effort to learn about Cockatoos and providing Shiloh with the best possible life🦜❤️
Amazing and poignant. Cockatoos are extraordinary creatures, they really are.
Yes they very much are just like so many other amazingly awesome and super intelligent animals
I love all birds. I used to raise Cockatiels. I've had 3 goffins cockatoos. They are small compared to Moluccans like the one in the video. They are so fun.
As an Australian, where these gorgeous birds are from and I see them everywhere. They should NEVER be kept by humans, they deserve to live free in Australian nature.
But, I thank you for looking after this sweet boy. I hope ignorant people stop breeding them for monitory gain.
He runs like a mini T-rex. I really hope he will live with this family for the rest of his life.
So when he screeches, he's just channeling his inner Yoko Ono. Something no-one wants to hear. But otherwise he can actually sing.
Wow 16 years in rescue. How sad. But how happy for Shiloh now.
It’s so sweet that he loves music 😭 I have a budgie and she loves it when I play music or sing for her, I bought a lyre because she likes my string instruments the best. She doesn’t really want me to touch her but she loves when we’re having music time.
I love his beautiful collars, they serve a purpose and look so pretty ❤
Adorable. Bless Shiloh and his lovely humans.
He’s living the best life.💕
🦜😻❤️
@@CuddleBuddiesChannel I like how he is walking.. it's so funny. But I am wondering if the sound we hear while he is walking is from him or it's a funny background?
Omgoodness...
Shiloh is absolutely adorable. I love his lil hops in the hallway. Lol
Brings joy to my heart to see Shiloh so loved by his family. Enjoy many more blessed years together.❤ 🦜❤
Your comment warms our hearts! Shiloh's lil hops in the hallway are just too cute, aren't they? We're so grateful for the joy he brings, and your kind words mean the world ❤️🦜❤️
THANK YOU for responsibly adopting Shiloh, not buying, and providing a loving home. So funny he is 'sometimes' in tune since 'Toos not known for their singing
SUPER! S o happy Shiloh is out of hte sancutary-16 years? wow! Love that Shiloh is loved now!!!
Cockatoo cuddles are the best❤❤
Everything she said = ❤❤❤❤
Love the fashionable selection of chest protectors Shiloh has! 👍
What's t protecting him from himself?
@@spicybrown75 The protector is so that Shiloh doesn't pluck out his own feathers when he's anxious, nervous, or upset.
@@EyeSeeThruYou oh I see. They're adorable prints just like the baby 🐥
@@spicybrown75 They are! And he has such a nice collection of them, I wonder if his mom is making them for him. It's so cute to see his "special bibs" on him when he sings :)
Is there somewhere that Someone can buy these collars you use? Or do you make some yourself? And if so, do you have a instruction video on how to make them?
❤️❤️❤️
When i was in Portugal for vacation there was a building, everytime you passed its balcony you heard a parrot go ”Óla”.
At one time me and my sister was in the middle of a discussion and we heard ”Óla….óla?”
We kept talking until we heard an offended ”ÓLA!!!???!!!””
We where ofcourse obliged to answer.
It is the least one can expect.
To be polite to parrots. 🦜
Wow!! What a great singer!! Could be the next Pavarotti!!
Parrototti 🦜
Touche!! Thank You for sharing this hilarious reply!!
My cockatoo is about to turn 24. He's my Y2K baby boy. The reality is cockatoos are extremely demanding, unbelievably noisy, and they are incredibly messy. But if you can make that work they are so full of affection. They're very sweet.
What a happy bird. He knows how much he is loved.
Shiloh is adorable, so cute and so hilarious and bless your hearts for adopting him!🦜😻❤️ I just can't believe that he was in a shelter for 16 years, 16 years! And no one had come along to adopt him until now? But bless you for doing this, seeing how special he is and giving him a great home!😻❤️
Thank you so much for your kind words! Shiloh truly is adorable and brings so much joy into lives. It's heartbreaking to think he spent 16 years in a shelter. Every day with Shiloh is a delight🦜😻❤️
@@CuddleBuddiesChannel I completely agree with you and you are most welcome for my kind words!
❤ He's not only intelligent, he's simply adorable. I'm glad he's truly free to be himself, all the time. You guys are wonderful loving parents to a magnificent creature. ❤
So cute
Birds will make noises. You need to expect that if you want to get a bird. I admire these people for making the commitment to this bird. The bird looks happy.
I AM IN LOVE❤❤❤ HE IS SO SO PRECIOUS.
He discovered that you are his peeps!! 💕
❤ Best forever home ever ❤
Thank you
He’s a real character!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This is a bird with a loving familj. You are lovely people and bird.😊❤❤😊
What do you mean, "old"? He's middle-aged at most. He still has 20 to 60 years ahead of him with the right care. Plenty of time and love to give and receive 😊 I'm glad he found a loving forever home
Thank you for giving him a loving home and a great life.
Such a happy wee soul living his best life❤
Thank you for giving him a HAPPY HOME! 🙏❤🙏
In the 1980's I was a Yankee living in Oz. My fiance drove me through the outback of Queensland and there were fields and crops on both sides of the dirt road we were driving on. As we drove down this road, my guy honked the truck horn and hundreds of cockatoos flew up from the fields. It was incredible to see.
Thank you so much for taking the time to learn how to be a great parrot parent.
Moluccan cockatoos are very smart. I had one about 40 years ago. Real characters.
You have a lovely bird, I myself have a very vocal African Gray. 😂❤
Love you guys! I have a bird for 25 yrs. Gingko is a hoot. I am always home with Gingko. Gongko is potty trained so I get to run for the cage with her lined-trash can when I hear, “Hurry up!” LOL
Shiloh is so blessed and so are y'all!!!! I love that he is so happy now. He has changed y'alls life for the best!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ We are owned by a variety of six (soon to be seven) parrots! The love of a parrot is so special!
So I'm originally from the suburbs. Moved from Illinois to Indiana. Trying the Homestead thing with my husband and kids.
We have turkeys and chickens. I have to say (in regards to turkeys) they are my favorite barn animal (we only have birds and goats)
Like I didn't know turkeys are such kind birds. Then seeing these silly birds. I feel like birds have a special place in God's heart.
I've learned that the birds on the video are hilarious, turkeys are just big dogs with feathers, chickens (except for our cinnamon queen girl "fluffy" she's kind) are the "cats" of the birds. They keep to themselves, show attitude and choose you, you don't choose them.
I'm learning so much, I can't believe I was kept from this knowledge all these years. No fault fr my parents. I think city/suburb people have forgotten their roots. They forgot how connected we are to animals. I'm from the suburbs so I'm speaking from my own experience. I only moved 2 years ago.
We have lost so much knowledge from how things used to be. But I have to say, when you can Homestead (I'm fortunate to be able to do it!) You learn fast! So theres the comfort of knowing the old ways come back to us quickly! :)
He’s lucky he has you now 😁
Love this story of Shiloh!! Such a beautiful and happy gorgeous cockatoo!! They have a big personality and wants to be loved!!🥰🥰🕊️🕊️💛💛🧡🧡💕💕❤️❤️❣️❣️👄👄💋💋🙏🙏😇😇
Great story! So happy hes got his own family & home. Plus a lot of attention & affection.
Maybe you would consider getting him a feathered friend?
Moluccans are great pets! Fun and affectionate. I hope he will stop pulling his feathers out, I like the collars and other ways to stop him from doing that. I had one, and another type of Cockatoo that was feather picking due to a low calcium issue. I had to switch foods and it was a big help. Thank you for helping Shiloh discover happiness.
Shiloh singing in his sleep is priceless ❤
He’s lucky to have found you
i love this baby!
Thanks to kind rescuers. Here in Canberra we are lucky to have large flocks of sulphur-crested cockatoos, which, being real smart, are easily attracted into gardens and onto decks.
That bird is better at throwing than you are, haha.
OH MY GOODNESS! this fella is older than me, im glad he finally has his home.
Shiloh!!!!!!❤
I'm so glad the Little Darling is with you now, you arer great parents❤
That wide-mouth face in the thumbnail is hilarious🤣🤣
Love his antics makes me miss my cockatiel cocoa l had for 15 yrs got him right out of beatbox soon as he could eat and he sat on my shoulders yelled for me and my daughter to come here called us by name. He wolf whistled at her if she was half dressed or had shorts on like a person. He would perch on our finger arm shoulder and head. Came home from work one day and he was gone to bird heaven. Still have his feather and miss him so much.
Im glad he found forever love. Dont get animals if you can't deal with every aspect of them
Love that guy!!!🥰🥰🥰
💞💞
He is so cute. I'm so glad you found each other!!
23 is barely out of puberty for a cockatoo, as they can live 60 years+ in captivity. I’ve already made provisions in my trust for my 20 year-old cockatoo.
What a handsomr boy. I jist love him. I'm so happy that he got adopted by someone who will really love him. He's so precious
Thank u for taking care of him. U saved his life. ❤
Wonderful family
Upon first seeing him, thought that he was wearing a pool float :D ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I love his little plucking protectors . How precious❤ Thank for giving this little guy love and joy!! You've done a good thing😊❤
I'm so glad he found you.
I had a blast taking care of a bird for a year..
OMG! Wonderful.
I would absolutely love to have a Cockatoo !!!❤❤❤. But they're expensive. In Australia they fly free. Shilou is so full of life. And he has a beautiful singing voice. Have you ever considered entering him on AMERICA'S GOT TALENT?? I would definitely vote for him. Thank you for explaining what and why the hats are and their use. He is a HOOT !!!! He literally had me lmfaooooooooooo for sure. What a joy he is. You're so blessed. ❤👍❤️❤️❤️❤️
He is absolutely crazy. How adorable.
Add a humidifier. Usually they pluck in winter due to the dry air. It makes them itch so they pull the feathers. ❤
Lord, he is just so great!! You are so blessed to have him!!🙃😃
Cockatoos- sweet angels with chainsaws attached to their face!
If you are loved by a cockatoo, you are truly, deeply adored.❤️
AWE ~ Love Shiloh ~ 🦜~ WhAt A Sweeeetie and Fun bird-child❤🤍🧡
He is a beautiful companion ❤
I'm so happy to see you've taken this beautiful little guy into your home. Cockatoos may be loud, but they are such delights. I, too, wish they were never domesticated and taken in as pets. It doesn't seem fair to them. I have seen many videos where wild parrots do create bonds with people who feed them while they are still in the wild, That seems like a better case scenario. But you took this guy in who could never make it in the wild on his own. You're to be commended.
I rescued two old parrots years ago because they were domesticated, unwanted and not very well cared for. Our family loved them so very much! I was delighted to be a part of their lives, as I can see you are with Shiloh. Bless your hearts! xo
So sweet to see the bird so happy
Awwww I'm so happy he got adopted by a wonderful family that loves him to pieces!! Too many Too's are neglected & don't get the love & attention they so desperately need, hence the pluucking problems... I'm soo happy!! What a sweet bundle of fluffiness he is 🥰😇🥳
Adorable and funny! Beautiful family❤️
Love this!!! Thanks for rescuing him!!! ❤😊❤
I want one !!! Bucket List I guess. He's adorable Personality ++++❤
That was a great video , thank you ❗️🇺🇸
God Bless You
A life long child!! They can love you so much!
I have wanted a bird since I wad a little girl. Never got..but I remember why I wanted one now. He's so sweet.
Good medicine. Thanks for giving him a loving home. He is obviously so happy.
Omg he's so cool!
He's absolutely beautiful ❤
Thank you!
Fancy putting a parrot in Parrot Jail for 16 years for singing too loud!
So glad you rescued him, he's a beaut!
{:o:O:}
awwwwww
HE IS ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE ❤❤❤
He's just gorgeous. What a character!
Shiloh is a joy. I had a couple of smaller parrots years ago and fell in love. Hoping my husband and I can rescue a parrot in our older years.
