    A parrot for life and he looks so cute , I've got an African Grey and he knows when I'm sad as he Flys on my shoulder and I've lost mum, dad stepdad , brother and niece in a space of a year and the crying I've done and heartbreak I've had is unreal, but my parrot knows this and is with me constantly.
    Parrots are so overwhelmingly sensitive birds in which not many people know off.

    I fostered an Umbrella Cockatoo a while back. He was such a fun bird. He liked to play games, but his cuddle is something that was so much worth the loud crazy noise in fact if he was out and with us he was as quiet as could be. The family he came from had lots of pre and teen kids running around. They would get him to chase after them and it got me bit pretty good on my shoeless foot once. We taught him a game instead of just going after feet and biting them. We would play a slow game of tag around the kitchen island taking turns chasing and being chased. Another game was a dozen things on the island and him pushing it all off one at a time and him trying to keep them off. He had very bad separation anxiety and was his reason for getting rehomed as much as he was. He needed a person who actually wanted him to be part of daily life. And other parrots where not going to be that for him. He needed a mellow family that he could be with all day. After we got through the first week was when it finally happened. The cuddle that was worth all the noise. I actually got really relaxed from that little hug that I started to fall asleep. I’ve never felt like that before. We had been trying to have children for 18 years to that point and I fostered him knowing he was going to have to go to a better home(although I did want to keep him). Once we got the news I knew it meant I wasn’t going to get to keep him with us. I searched for a good while to find him a good forever home. So many people wanted him but never worked with umbrellas or larger birds in general. We tried a few visits and found an older couple who said they had owned cockatoos before and even showed great ability handling him. I made sure they knew where we lived and that they could always call and if for whatever reason it wasn’t working out that we would take him back. I reached out a couple of times that first week and they said all was good. I reached out later that month and never got a response. I kept trying to get ahold of them to make sure he was good and okay before a move we had coming up. That’s when they told me they gave him away to someone because of the noise. I was so angry with myself. I asked why they didn’t call or answer my messages that he could have come back and they just wrote me off.

What an awful thing to say, I wonder how many animals missed out on a good home because that person made a comment like that about them, it’s hard enough for them to find a good forever home. This parrot really lucked out to find a woman with compassion and a huge heart. Thanks for sharing

    I had a 46 year old neglected parrot that bonded with me. He was in complete distress and way too defensive to handle but was the center of attention in the house .We shared 6 years together, I kept him from the divorce.
    He died in my arms and I cherish the
    memories.
    He was a Yellow nape Amazon.

    • @ArmyForTheAnimals
      @ArmyForTheAnimals Місяць тому +3

      Absolutely believable. People don't understand the care these birds require, and often dump them at a shelter when they can't handle it anymore. I volunteer at a parrot rescue. Off the top of my head, I can think of 8 Macaws we have currently waiting for their forever home. One of them, Jack, has been there over 3 years. We also have, Amazon parrots, African Greys, budgies, conures, ringnecks, cockatiels, lovebirds, doves, eclectus parrots, and cockatoos. I'd say we have at least 50 birds in house at the moment. I'm currently fostering a Bare-eyed cockatoo that was at the rescue for 2 years before I brought him home 2 weeks ago. If all goes well like it has been, I plan to adopt him. ❤
      It's important for people to understand that birds are LOUD, messy, and needy (similar to a human toddler, but one that never grows up). Even people that pay thousands for these birds will dump them when it gets to be too much. That's why it's so important to do research before bringing any pet into your household.❤

    • @2Fat2Furi0us
      @2Fat2Furi0us Місяць тому +2

      Yes, most end up abandoned in shelters because people do not understand how difficult it is to raise a bird which often outlives their owners, has the mind of a 5 year old and the ability to break bones if they get mad.

    Yeah
    IT Breaks my Heart that i Wish and pray that im forgotten , that my Life and Energy IS taken away from me and every existence IS free from this slavery shit
    I have a cat and IT Breaks my spul that they Cat has to live in my 55qm flat
    These animals are Made to walk Up to 20 Miles per day and more
    And their Sense IS trained to Nature and interest
    When i think about tigers in a Zoo or whales
    Then you have all the slavery and pain mankind Puts on human telling you all that ITS good and there IS a logic
    To me ITS hate and ignorance false education and lies to protect Power system
    But Power only belongs to god
    And god IS everything
    ITS Not the church and Not a human telling you to support His prisoned ideas
    I Wish my Life will be taken away everything IS forgotten and IT Starts without hate and violence
    Without discussion and the Idea of me and you
    Cause Theres No difference
    There was only war that Made you all dont Trust anyone
    I See now different countries
    I See people telling you WHO you should hate , and what you should Take away from them to have the biggest benefit
    Animals dont do that
    Their balance is perfect
    They Just go for a need If they spread too much another animal will appear or hold them in balance
    Mankind interrupted all of IT
