"The longer I whistle, the longer he doesn't attack me" 😂
lol
I do believe this is how you wind up with a constant nervous whistle tick!
Honestly sometimes with birds, it be like that
Whistle if you wanna live, mortal
Ahahaaa
I feel like he’s like “your bf can whistle I can too! Now we don’t need him anymore” 😂
Damn what’s up boo😎
lollol
haha definately correct!
Wow Miss Terri M. You are one hell of a cutie ❤️
"He's Wooing you with those whistling noises isn't he?! I'm a birb, I know how it is. Don't worry, my precious human, I will learn his songs so he will no longer tempt you!"
One good thing to note, is the average cockatiel has the same level of intelligence as a 2-4 year old child, so playing a fake injury shows how smart these birds generally are
Kildeer a type of bird does the injured bird routine to lure predators away from their nest. Then when the predator gets too close, the bird will fly away.
If anything this shows how manipulative 4 yo kids can be then
@@TOBY-jy7bzmhm. My four year old cousin gets my two year old cousin in trouble on purpose, even if she didn't do nothing at all
Not to mention they have the temper of one
That’s when you tell the four year old you know what they did and love on their sibling. Then put the troublemaker in timeout. They’ll learn to be nice after it backfires enough times.
1:23 "mom did you see what he did?! He hurt me, GET RID OF HIM" moment 😂😂
Parrots not see you as parent. They see you as partner. That's a huge difference. They are different than cats and dogs 😶
😂😂😂😂😂 for real
you mean babe... it thinks thats their mate not mom
@@SCP-682_Keter havnt seen her touching the birds "sexuall parts", what a bird see as sexual parts.
@@zer0sixx Think he means that's how the bird specifically views their bond. Don't have to touch "sexual parts" for that.
Playing injured bird card, LMAO 😂😂😂
my sister's budgie does the same thing! smart little things they are lmao
That was hilarious good thing camera was on 🤣😂
😂😂😂😂
😂😂
im dying 😂
I like how he faked an injury to get her boyfriend in trouble. "Mom! He hit me!"
I love it 🤨🤨🤨🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺😍😍😍😍
U gerrit 😂😂💔
That bird is a player
To me that was like the funniest part. But you have to re wind it over and over to get the full value of the small clip of him acting injured 🤣. It was hilarious…. Also. I miss my bird so much. This video gives me mixed emotions.
@@iz7495 Please accept my deepest condolences on the passing of your dear bird 😭💔
The fact that he took time to get her bird's validation is priceless and amazing
If only the bird understood that means he’s good people lol
1:15 “just love me!” That man is so sweet
Then as soon as the rival has a skill he doesn't - bird takes him seriously 😏 "hm...I see that you are a scholar. Perhaps not entirely a waste of my time..."
*just*
*love*
*me*
The injury move shows a remarkable level of intelligence. Actually faking an injury to get your rival in trouble is almost...human.
Reminds me of a dog who faked being sick so the owner wouldn't go to work.
I busted up when he did that!
@@casperbrenneche8264 My horse did this once XD She faked colic so I called into work. Took care of her all morning. But once I was with her for maybe an hour, all colic signs stopped. She was fine.
Well, the wing was stuck because of clippe wing-feathers.
It is a accident & not a bird playing injured.
What looks funny is truly a poor bird in panic...
yeah, my cockatiel taught himself how to fake cough so that i would fuss over him and take him to the vet. happened three times before i finally learned hot to differentiate between a real and fake cough lmao. total diva, that boy
Him running to Momma like his wing was hurt was hilarious.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 he knew all the tricks!
He would be great as football/soccer player with that act.
That is the fighting stands of the birds. ready to strike.. Hes trying to show it to her momma that he is angry😁
"Mom! Mom! The bad man hurt me again!"
Thought it was a birds way of flipping him off.
*Having owned, bred, and studied birds for over 37 years, I can honestly say that this bird believes himself to be her mate and he is fighting for his mate!!! He will NEVER be truly okay with someone in her life. He may learn to tolerate this person eventually, with guidance from his owner, but he will ALWAYS be slightled by another person in her life!!! I have a cockatoo that does the exact same thing!!! She even tries to go after my cats* 🐈 *due to her jealousy!! Making a commitment to a bird is a serious thing, because they bond so tightly with their owners when treated right!!*
What type of bird is it?
I feel this way about people.

*If I try bolding my comment, people will believe everything.*
@@jasperherr8694 dont believe you
lol the injured bird card. "Mama, he hurt me. keel him."
Man really ran across the table like "Mom. He _hurt_ me."
Honestly though, the fact that he put his head down for rubs is a huge deal.
I wanna give you a "like" in your comment but I don't wanna mess up the current number of your likes which is "333". So, ...

If he's gonna marry her, it's not the dad's blessing he needs to get.
It's the bird's permission
😂😂
Nice one haha

😂😂😂
As it should be
As a tiel owner, i can very much relate to this😂
My dad and i would often rough house and every time my dad “beats me up”, my tiel would sometimes fly up to him and attack or fly over him like a hawk stalking its prey. It’s pretty hilarious. I almost died a couple times just because I couldn’t breath from laughing so much. Got i love my bird
We had a dog that would do this with me. It was so sweet and after a bit we’d reassure her we were just playing
Birds have such big personalities
I had a male cockatiel for over 30 years. We didn’t clip his feathers and he was also a wonderful pet. He decided that my Mom was his mate, and my Dad was the competition…Cockatiels are lovely birds.
The more I watch videos about cockatiels the more I like their personality. I have a parrotlet and he is having similar personality and sometimes being a jerk. When you see a bird on a video is one thing, but having one at home is a totally different thing. They are so adorable and smart. Mine even can speak some human words and they are on point.
@@ilonaxxx20 Love it! All birds have an inner biting jerk at times. It’s hard coded in them to establish a pecking order. :-) You can hear the cockatiel in this video trying to speak, but cockatiel speaking is like a mini-smurf grumbling, and sometimes we don’t recognize it as imitating words
I remember someone where I live had one out in their yard & I didn't notice at first, I kept hearing a wolf whistle & looking around "who's doing that?!" Then made eye contact with this cheeky cockateil, it was such a funny moment! This video only goes further into how sweet & intelligent they are 💖
@Matthew Feldvari yep! The bird in this video is a full sized cockatiel; not to be confused with a cockatoo, which is a larger parrot with a similar appearance
My cockatiel is 28 years old
A man who takes the time to win over his girlfriend’s pet is a keeper.
I doubt he'd be on the market for long if they somehow broke up xD
And every one he ends up with for the rest of his life will have atleast one pet he has to get along with. If not more!
Heh... But no seriously, he is definiately a keeper. Patience to win over a pet of the one he loves? Doesn't sound very common to me
Yes that is so true
That beautiful bird has it going on he is a keeper
@@nighttimeserenity2447 honestly when I meet my first time girlfriends pets I fall in love more with their pets and want to spend more time with their pets than her. I remember this girl I dated she had two cats and a dog and the first night all three of them slept with me in the bed glued to me, I loooove animals 😍
@@MobileAura I think that was so nice of you to say you love that your girlfriend animal more than her I think that is so cute there's not a lot of people who loves animals you have a heart of gold that is really nice of you to say you love your girlfriend animals so much
Such a gorgeous adorable jealous stubborn bird. And he's even more gorgeous when he finally starts to love his other human.💙I'm in love!🤗

@1:04 "I wanted him to like me, but he wouldn't budge" - well, no surprise there, because that's a cockatiel, not a budgie...
“I’m worried, Dusty doesn’t seem to like me.”
“Is he her father?”
“No, her bird.”
Lol
A father named Dusty lmfao
Haha.
The bird has a bird?
@@Quinton_ovo_ it could a nickname
"Injured Bird Card" got me. Didn't know birds could AND WOULD do that!
So cunning! xD
That is among the variety of smart and social birds. So why not? Especially when that bird clearly was trying to assert dominance. Protect mommy, deive away the aggressor! XD
They do it all the time...
its just an accident
@@enaos6029 No, birds almost never hold one wing up like that, it's always both or neither. Fun story- a bird parent I know said there was a parrot, either a cockatoo or a grey, it would meow to attract one of the cats and then scream bloody murder to make people think the cat was attacking it so it would get in trouble. 😂
"playing the injured bird card" this cracked me up so much 🤣🤣
guy is dedicated when he literally went out of his way to seal the deal and get the birds blessing .. he’s a keeper 😊
Hahahahahaha keeper guys are always cheated on, while I was younger I thought being a keeper guy or nice guy is good, well now when I grown up I see why nice or keeper men finish last.
When she cheats and leave him for some short time fun dude, her excuse will be 'my bird didn't like u'
@@samirdoncic6395 there is always a negative Nelly.. nice guys don’t Finnish last .. Blame the player not the game, if you are always ending up in ways that make you feel this way sometimes you have to re-evaluate and ask is it that your picking the wrong people in the first place or are you driving them away with an unhealthy attachment or something. Because the nice guy who is genuine and honest and puts themselves and the other person equally as well as open to talk about their differences without loosing there objective or personal feelings but mediate and sets healthy boundaries and relationship expectations from the get go will always come first. No one wants a waste of space who clings to their own personal feelings and desires and believes they are the only one who matters or no real aspirations are not winners so your argument makes no sense? It would seem someone can’t bare to believe in other people being happy so jumping to conclusions about who she is. Not everyone cheats and if they do they obviously weren’t the right person 🧐
@@Kellythistleton I'm not negative nelly I'm reality nelly, I'm not blaming the game because I'm not playing it anymore, I blame player, not me, it's the woman. How to know is person a cheater, is she a woman? If yes, then yea, a cheater. Be good to your woman and she will loose respect. Good women are rare. Like I said, u women have two categories for a man, a keeper and a fcker.
Even if nice guy not finish last, he will finish with divorce because woman cheated, yea men cheat too, but women are 10x worse cause they can get it anywhere without doing anything, while men need to grow and learn.
@@samirdoncic6395 not true
My boyfriend is the nicest person in this world and I love him so much and would never hurt him by cheating on him. Why would I? I don’t want to.
It's called hypergamy. it's a biological mandate in all females to look for the best possible male
The bird repeating the boyfriend's whistling to her is so sweet.
"Now you're speaking my language! Literally!"
He conquered that bird like he did his girlfriend. Even the bird is whistling the man’s tune now lol
Imagine them breaking up... That'll be annoying 😅
I thought the bird was just stealing the boyfriends moves, haha
@@limitless_legacy9690 lmao 🤣 ur right
Imagine talking to a girl and she tells you about her pet that’s a lil bit bossy and over protective and when you finally come over your thinking it’s a dog or cat but you end up seeing this guy walking down the hallway towards you with his hair up 😂😂😂😂
😂🤣 true
Cute .... with his hair up 😂😂

Alot of birds mate for life. That's usually the framework for bird ownership. It looks like he turned this bird into a slut though! Lol
@@datt5698 Wtf
I like his little wing flexes - "Listen guy, I"M the alpha around here - get you're own girl !" LOL !

i have a crazy female parakeet that would bite anyone that tries to pet her especially when i have her on my finger but sometimes she does it to me i dunno why but she's got that personality where she's like im sweet n soft but try to touch me u will lose a finger, which she doesn't take no crap from anyone which is why i love her n she's my favorite bird
They’re fucking dinosaurs lol jaja
They forget that they are fragile. I damaged and traumatized many birds that tried to scare me like that.
Fools
@@bozomori2287 Sigma
Omg I love how this man's only tactic is to *whistle for his life.*
Hats off to this man, he is going the distance to be with his lady and make peace with a confrontational companion. Most folks don't have that kind of patience.
I agree you really don't see that often.
This is so adorable he just wants to protect his mommy.
The "injured wing" though oh man. Too smart.
The bird views the woman as his "mate", not his mommy. The boyfriend is viewed as competition.
He wasn't faking the wing. It's just a feather out of place, and it's not serious at all. The bird will fix it himself. My cockatiel does this occasionally - especially when he's molting! Still funny though!
@@sinical10 so how long did it take you to figure that out?
Lol. No he wants to bonk his mommy. He thinks they're a bonded pair and is protecting her from another male.
That bird is planning that man’s funeral. I just know it
Bird: No way in hell you're staying here bud
Guy: *_whistles_*
Bird: THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SONG I'VE EVER HEARD
😂
Lets switch places😂
It still catches me off-guard how smart some animals are, especially birds. The fact that he was smart enough to fake a wing injury and try to frame the boyfriend really just amazed me.
0:16 The way the bird walks in 3x😭😂
There's people who hate having birds cause they "act mean" but this dudes only mission in life is to be redeemed by the bird, absolute legend

“I was probably more nervous to meet Dusty than anyone in her family.” 🤣
I had to watch them again.

Ikr! Boss bird 😂😂😂
My tiel rules the roost too! 😂 It's a cockatiel thing!
The bird whistling the same song he was whistling was actually the most wholesome/adorable thing I think I’ve ever seen 😭
I agree! At first I was thinking maybe the bird knows something about this guy we don't know, but when the bird started whistling the same time back, I almost cried. They're family now. 🥰
@@messily1456 This is never the case. Animals do not have a sixth sense to detect evil people, as many people like to believe. This is simply humans attempting to project something onto animals that doesn't exist. They can read body language and tone to varying degrees depending on the animal. They have varying territorial instincts. That's it. There is no psychic birds or dogs.
People confuse these negative first impressions of strangers with territorial behavior. In the end, this just leads to you gossiping about someone for no reason.
Yeeaaa🥺❤️❤️❤️
If the boyfriend dies or cheats on her, the bird will always whistle a tune to make the owner sad
My tiels know how to frighten humans. Even my husband must be careful. Getting their medicine out can cause problems, unless you are their mom. (Eyes) As a birdie mom I must raise these the best I can and let them listen to me and pretend to understand. This is a never ending battle that must be won slowly. My tiels are 30 years old, but they always listen to me and pretend that they understand. I am also required to pretend that I understand each shriek that they produce. Our home is full of strange sounds and little arguments, but I am their mother. I love their whistling and meaningful looks. They pretend to understand.
Dusty: I am Judge, Jury, and Executioner
Ryan: whistle noises
Dusty: Your verdict still stands for now
Thank you, for give that little creature the life he deserves. When people make from all these wild animals domesticated animals, they deserves life like this.
That’s a good boyfriend. He knows he has to win over the animal in his girlfriend’s life and does his best. 😅
Yes and no. With birds it’s complicated. Birds often see their humans as potential mates or their actual mate which can make them possessive. Also the bird doesn’t seem to hate him too much.
@@vinny_rivera While what you said is true, dude's putting in the effort to try and bond with the bird. There aren't many who would put in that much effort.
@@thestormofwar Yeah but that doesn’t mean he should be trying things without research.
One of my cats years ago, my beautiful all white Turkish angora, Delilah. She was super friendly, she was a good judge of character. She totally did not like one guy I dated, she would try to sit between us and growl staring him down. Like I said she was a good judge, unbeknownst to me he was getting into heiron, he went down a bad hill fast. She sensed it, gosh I miss her, I had her for 18 yrs!
666 is a good number and lucifer answered it's a sign.
Now when it’s just her and the sweet bird he repeats the whistles the boyfriend taught him. If that isn’t the cutest thing ever.
Little conman lol
Trying to take credit for everything!
YES!! That's exactly what I was thinking!!
And then the boyfriend dies & the whistle reminds her of him & yada yada yada, movie stuff, happy ending
@@smusky4643 Keep behaving like that if you don't want to attract nice people into your life.

Oh my goodness, your feathered baby is adorable. I love all creatures, but birds are my fav! I’ve had birds all my life and the last one was a female Cockatiel, same colors as your little guy! She was the sweetest baby. Your little guy is wonderful. Makes my heart happy. Good luck with the boyfriend!
This is what I love about cockatiels. They are obviously very smart creatures but of all things they could do with that intelligence they decide to be the derpiest little trolls on the planet.
yes lol such drama birbs
This is too accurate.
This so true.I had a cockatiel and her name was Coco Marie.She was so sassy.She would put her head down to be pet but if you did not pet her in the exact right spot she would sream and bite you😑

Omg this reminds me of the book Alex and Me. The parrots bond with one person. The scientist realized to get them to learn they worked best if they were competing with each other. As soon as this guy showed the bird he could whistle, the bird saw that as valuable (it's a song bird after all), so it was invigorated by competition. Aaaaaah lol. So many birds species are the most monogamous creatures on earth, the devotion to one partner is incredible.
Cute story! The boyfriend gets an A+ for effort. He is a keeper.
Gets an F from me. Idk what he does off camera but on camera he fed the bird from his mouth which is a major *NO*
@@vinny_rivera why? Sorry I'm not framilliar with birds, so I would like to knoe the reasoning.
@@teufulhunden4921 Burds feed by mouth in two situations: if it’s the babies or their mate. A person feeding their bird by their mouth is giving their bird false hope that the person is their mate. You shouldn’t feed birds by mouth because of that, it’s also why you only pet the head and under the chin of a bird and no where else. Showing signs that you’re a birds mate will cause great stress and give your bird depression when they want to breed with their mate, which is impossible because they would think their mate is the human taking care of them. It hurts the bird a lot.
@@teufulhunden4921 there’s many things people shouldn’t do with their birds that can cause the bird to think they may be mates, I only know some of them because I do research and my friend has a bird so if you wanna learn more try researching about it
@@vinny_rivera I don't think the bird would ever consider him a mate. They are not stupid
The fact that he really tried to create any sort of understanding with this bird for his girlfriend speaks volumes on his character. He could have easily dipped out or just ignored the birds existence. How sweet is this man for real
You're right Stormie and most of us would, including me and it's not cause we don't care, it's cause we don't have the time. That's a cute birdie thou

Dusty: “Ah yes, the negotiator.”
you fool, I’ve been trained in your jedi arts by count dooku
hahahahahahahahahahaha!!!
bst thing the bird will always sing that tune even after the break up
A man of culture I see
The bird sees her as its mate and as long as the boyfriend stays way the heck away from her then they'll get along fine as long as the guy also provides tunes and food. But if he thinks he's going to actually be with the woman and get along with a bird ---well, no.... especially send clearly she thinks the bird is her mate as well and doesn't realize that for the bird it's a sexual partnership and the bird is waiting on the eggs LOL. But as long as she literally puts the bird first she will stay single. If not then she's met someone with rare tolerance and she should found herself very lucky. If she ever goes on vacation or into the hospital though that poor bird is going to suffer.
I’d be so afraid of like stepping on him at night or something. He’s so tiny.
only if he steps on you, hah!
They're in their cage at night.
that's why it's a good idea to put the bird in a cage at night. They feel (and actually are) more secure that way.
Yea because birds chill on the floor at night all the time.
@@twally87 Our bird wont hesitate to let us know that we didn't shut her cage for the night
Being good to the owner, even when you don't think the bird is watching, treats, and whistlingal and time, the way to the heart of any parrot.
Can we take a moment to appreciate Ryan's whistling skills? Very clean and great pitch control.
Dusty: i'll take the whistling.

I love how proud Dusty look when he actually show Kerri hoe he was able to mikic Ryan's whistle ❤ so cute
“Here he comes.”
As a long time bird owner, I cannot commend him enough for his patience and understanding. For anyone not familiar with birds, it can be EXTREMELY hard to socialize them with new people, especially a "competitor" for the bonded humans' attention. Quite often it simply can't be done. This gentleman went above and beyond and it is really gratifying to see his success - kudos, sir !
That's an extremely man hating bird. Some birds are like that though, I dont know much about lil birbs history so I cant make any judgements of abuse but I sincerely hope they can make it. Cause hot damn I would have just left. I've dealt with birds like this before and they are a pickle, and my fingers did NOT enjoy it.

Luckily it's a smaller out of the birds can he imagine what it be like if it was a macaw or a cockatoo or a Amazon parrot 😂 if I had to get attacked by a bird I would much rather it be a smaller one 🤣 luckily it was a flogging rooster they also hurt and they don't stop they will keep on charging at u and their wings going fluttering and they peck and bite and try to get u with it's claws I don't know what would be worse a large parrot or a flogging rooster they both hurt so much I think it is so sweet though that he was doing everything he could to be friend her bird Its cute that he would whistle to it just so he didn't get attacked by it and I never seen a bird pretend to be hurt just for attention or to try to get some one introuble that bird is so smart I think it is so cute how it tried to manipulate her thinking if I am hurt mommy will make him leave and then I don't have to share her with him 😂
@@jenniferfloyd6540 I was handling a tropical bird just slightly bigger than the cockatiel. (they're bright green with red beaks, if you're familiar.) It bit one of my fingers just once, somewhat hard, no blood. but the next day or two it felt like someone ran a needle through where the beak points hit and bruised everything between them. Birds are not to be trifled with.
@@Asubatsu I am sorry u got bit and you are so right about that no they are not when I first brought my rescue parrot home he said all sweet come here I come over to his Perch he said step up so I put my arm out for him and he bit me so hard I was bleeding and bruised it hurt so bad from then on I where a sweater if I go to hold him my sweaters have holes in them for where he bites but I would much rather it be my sweaters than my arm again I know people who said they almost lost a finger from a parrot and I was told never to hold my parrot on my shoulder because they get spooked easily and it would bite me in the face a lady said she got bit in the lip from a macaw and it was bad I love birds it just took me some time to get help with him I didn't understand everything about bird's and I think I'm crazy my first bird being a Amazon parrot 😂 but I really love him dearly but he is a older male parrot and he can be aggressive at times luckily Amazon parrots are easier to read because of the way there eyes pin and the way they show body language but it took me some time to learn my bird body language and now I know when he says come here I know he's up to no good
Whoa! Crazy bird went for the eyes and throat at one point. Whistling a lot is a great step to friendship. Great video!
Just like a overprotective brother😂
I gotta say the part where he’s on the table and turned around to fake a hurt wing to go tell his mama what he did was absolutely adorable. I am laughing so hard my eyes are watering. I know birds are intelligent but I have so much personality test fake an injury is everything.

“Momma he hurt me, he is no good” 🤣🤣
Unless you've shared a home with a bird, you can have no idea how smart they are. I had a lovebird, the smartest non-human I have ever met. Her sense of humour was amazing, her love of being naughty was oddly endearing. She would invent new tricks, like tucking her head under her wing followed by squawking loudly at me until I saw her new trick and congratulated her. I miss her a lot.

Dogs do it too…..it’s called a “sympathy limp”……so cute. A little attention and it goes away instantly. LOL
This gentleman has the patience of a saint. He's remarkable.
A keeper.
What’s Important in your loves life is and will remain important for them. I can’t imagine folk who give up their pet or interests due to someone else’s rules. This gentleman is so wise. Persevere! Lol. Love her- love the bird and keep bandages available 🤣😂. What a nice man💕
Dude, that bird straight threw him under the bus faking an injury 😆 🤣 😂
He's a keeper, you know he's a keeper when he works hard to win over your pet 🥰
He also said he only wanted to see his girlfriend happy too! 👍💖💞
Says a lot about his character when he can accept that the pet is a part of his gf's life too.
The first time my then-bf came over to my house my parrotlet went straight for his face but he persisted and eventually won her over. After we got married and moved in w him she would always climb up onto his sock and hang out w him
1:20, pretending to be injured, to score affection, truly awesome.
I thought he meant "look, look! Your boyfriend hurt me" :D
I know for a fact this little bird will claw someone’s eye out if they ever tried to harm you. So precious.
That’s a very respectable and kind young man. He’s a keeper in my book. The bird is super intelligent and funny. I’d think hanging out with the bird would be fun. I’d try pistachios and toys. Maybe a musical instrument might also interest the bird enough to make him more tolerant of him. As long as he’s of some value to the bird, he will be allowed in.
The bird was literally trying to say to the boyfriend "Back off buddy, she's mine"
Hello
@@donaldwilfred211 good bye
He my lady 😂😂
@@cubytischer Hello how are you
Brave man. That hulking bird could have taken his throat out but he persisted.
Yes lol
I have never met a Cockatiel that has drawn blood when it bites. They will nip at you, but are surprisingly gentle, unlike budgerigas.
@@kenchristie9214 my cockatiel has bitten literal chunks out of me for getting near his food dish. He's also cracked my fingernail and caused it to bleed underneath for daring to have my finger near him when he wanted to step up onto my finger 😭 he's a little weirdo
@@sydneyodessa2129 I've had a couple of cockatiels over the years and neither of them broke skin.
The last one we had was a bit of a psycho who did not like being approached, but even he did not bite hard when handled.
My father had a budgerigar aviary when I was young and having a chunk taken out of my finger, especially by a female, was a regular occurrence.
The first cockatiel we had was a birthday present for a school friend of my daughter. After a couple of days training him, I decided to keep him.
@@kenchristie9214 oh God, I had a budgie hen who would bite worse than my cockatiel 😭 she was NASTY
I have never in my life felt this way about a bird! I’m in love
What a beautiful story! Whistle your way into the birbs little heart. Hope they are all still a happy family ❤️
That bird is a master in the dark Arts of infiltration, he’s infiltrated his enemy, learnt the mating song and is now relaying it back to his Wife.
🤣 oh my gosh that’s totally what’s happening
secret agent from birbia
He's like the Dad you get warned about.
"IF you wanna date HER you gotta to get through ME first."
This is adorable beyond words!
not really
i will call him dadbirb
😂😂😂
genuis just genuis to whistle and make the bird like you i can't believe it but it is so CUTE
I just loved this story. Thank You for sharing. You sure have a WONDERFUL man. He is a keeper. I just loved how your man kept trying and trying to win your birdie over. AWWWWWW, NOW THAT'S TRUE LOVE.
He is a keeper. And the bird is so smart that he can fake an injury lol
Yes, he is a keeper... and the boyfriend too! 😉😉😉
Dusty is a good man. He's little but he'll fight for his woman.
It blows my mind how something so small can have such a huge personality
A lot of birds mate for life! Lol
"The whistle-beast is entertaining... he will be tolerated." -bird, probably
The injury-feigning is used by some birds to lure predators away from their nests. Once the predator is a safe distance away, the bird suddenly "heals" and flies off. I think the bird was trying to lead the boyfriend far away from his mama in hopes that the boyfriend wouldn't be able to find his way back, LOL. Very cute and intelligent.
Lmao I didn't know that, that's hilarious.
What? Really? The things you learn in the comments section!
how does faking an injury make the predator go away? wouldn't the predator think it's even easier to catch its prey now that it's injured?
@@ninalempicka2948 They mostly do it to lure predators away from nests. Look up Killdeer wing injury act, they do this to protect their nests as they nest on the ground.
