      Lots of people don't know how hard parrots are to take care of and how long they live, and so parrots become neglected/abused or are given away. It's a common story to see parrots go through multiple homes and have plucking issues because they were neglected. More people need to be aware of the difficulties of these pets and not get them unless they're prepared to committ.

    I remember the second I became obsessed with birds. I was I believe 7 and my family was taking a little trip to this old Amish town that was turned into a tourist spot. Outside there was a man with a scarlet macaw sitting on the end of this long stick he was holding. The parrot completely trusted him and he completely trusted the parrot. It was at that second I became obsessed. I always wanted this sort of love, this kind of companionship. I hope someday I'll be able to get a parrot from a rescue, one that most people maybe wouldn't want. They're always the ones with most personality. When I was 12 I first had a bird land on me, it was at this place in a small town in Virginia. There was an aviary with parakeets that you could walk into. If you had this stick with food at the end of it, they'd land on you. I found an abandoned stick that still had feed on it, and a parakeet landed on me. Unfortunately for me it decided to pull off my hangnails so that hurt like hell, but I didnt mind because I was crying from the sheer happiness. Anyways thats all have a good day and follow your dreams.

    My 32 year old Yellow Naped Parrot named SweetPea and I 💖watching this video together. Any bird that will lie on his back like that means that birdy trusts that human mom A LOT!! Great to see that!!🐦

      Thank you, and yes, lying on their backs is so vulnerable for them. He only does that when the whole house is dead quiet. LOL Yellow napes are amazing too. I'd be surprised if SweetPea doesn't sing opera too. 32 years old, just beautiful. Love, Bello's mom

      Yes, parrots are not normally this sweet. He is only that way because I am home with him all day since I work from home, so since he gets so much attention and is so socialized, he is not aggressive.

    Seeing your video made my day! I really miss that happiness. When I was around 28 my mom got a Quaker parrot for her, my dad and myself. Long story short, it was the greatest unexpected experience I will probably ever have. Unfortunately, when was 31 my mom passed...my dad & I kept loving our "Greenjeans" for another good 3 years, then sadly he got real sick and we had to..put him down. That bird dying was the most tragic thing to ever happen to me. Anyways, I wont go on & on...just could not help wanting to share because, like I said, your vid made me remember that awesome feeling of companionship. I don't usually comment this hard, but I'm 41 now and still truly miss my bird. Educating people before they commit is absolutely mandatory. We loved our parrot, but we ultimately lost him due to our neglect of being well educated about the proper diet and enforcing it throughout his lifetime, not just most of the time. Thanks for your time and keeping your bird happy and healthy.

    • @LeezaCD
      @LeezaCD 2 роки тому

      I completely understand. I am the owner of the bird in this video btw. I also had a family pet, a quaker parrot too. We had him for 2 or 3 years only... I was about 14 yrs old when he flew away (my baby brother brought him outside by accident) and I cried and cried. I still have his feather and a diary entry detailing my brokenness about losing him. We lived in Orlando at that time and went to Miami a few years later and I heard my parrot's "chirp" while laying on the beach. Looked up and there were hundreds of Quakers parrots in a tree. It made me happy. Maybe he made it to Miami and lived many years more free with his own flock. I am 40 today and still miss him and think my teen years wouldve been so much easier had he not flown away. but that's a selfish thought. Birds should be wild and free... Also, my parents also fed him sunflower seeds only so he likely had fatty liver disease. We also didnt know better with no internet at the time and bird diet is so misunderstood ... I'm so happy things are different now, or changing. I hope you can rescue a bird if your life can fit the responsibility. Have a nice day, fellow bird lover :)

    • @LeezaCD
      @LeezaCD 2 роки тому

      PS: I was also so young when my mom passed away - I was only 26, she was 54. I'm glad you had Greenjeans to help you through the initial years of heavy grief. The great thing about pet birds is they have potential to live way longer than most other pets like dogs and cats. I'm sure next go around you have with a pet bird you will feed it properly and it will live a very long time!
