The way the bird puffed up when they hugged and kissed omg lol
Gave me chills and I love birds
ik i was like woww..
I sincerely hope that the owners have been taught how to avoid hormonal issues through appropriate petting etc. Prozac is fighting a symptom caused by improper care.
yes totaly agree, she should take the prozac lol
Totally agree, the vet missed the mark on this one big time by not educating her on what she was doing wrong!! And yes the bird was trying to "mate" with that guys hand. Between the diet and the inappropriate petting... omg!
I was going to say something about that as well. That plus his diet could be a bit trigger for the aggressive behavior as well as loss of feathers.
@@sarahh2072 we're not seeing everything from the session so I'm sure more was said to them.
@@sarahh2072 there's more that follows in the full episode that isn't shown in this clip - the Prozac was only a starting point, I'm pretty sure Chris addressed the owners' behaviour later on.
Of course he’s angry he’s witnessing what he sees as an affair
Actually Eclectus parrots are not monogamous, in the wild both the make and female have multiple mates.
@@sarahrichardson3692 well he’s still jealous either way lmao
@@sarahrichardson3692 I'm not sure about this kind of parrot specifically but most birds are sort of monogamous. But they often will cheat on one another. But usually one male and one female will take care of one nest.
I shouldn't say most, more accurately many birds.
@@catiku5969 Eclectus are not really monogamous in the wild, the female only really mates with her fav but is fed by many boys. The boy feeds many other girls in return. There was a great documentary on it.
OMG that poor bird, the lady pet him and treat him in a way that make him think she is his mate and of course he is jalous of the husband
*sexually stimulates bird by kissing him and patting his back*
"I DON'T KNOW WHY HE'S SO UPSET AND PLUCKING HIS FEATHERS"
😡🤬
To the owner of this amazing bird. I will repeat what others have already said for emphasis.
If you pet the bird along his back you will make him hormonal.
Once you "pet" the bird inappropriately, the bird thinks you are it's romantic partner.
Since you & your husband are not birds, this bird will be sexually frustrated and this will increase the aggressive behavior.
I'm shocked that you don't feed the bird appropriately. I wonder if you also feed the bird other things that you "forgot" to tell Chris about.
I'm sorry to seem negative towards you, but I'm really concerned about the bird here.
This whole clip made me nauseous... Poor thing looks mistreated by the husband to be honest
Adrienne, fascinating comment. My male cat also does this to me but NOT my husband. Is it because I PET him too much?
@@donnabittner69 No,you are not petting your cat too much... in birds, WHERE you pet them makes a huge difference. It doesn't work the same way in cats.
Truly, cats & dogs can be attached to one spouse more than the other, but with birds it turns out that if you stimulate them sexually (by petting them in the wrong place), then it becomes a next level problem.
@@donnabittner69 petting isnt foreplay for cats, it's foreplay for birds without a climax ever in the cards. Imagine being edged for months on end without release, how upset, annoyed, and frustrated you'd be, I'd be biting and plucking too! Only the mate is allowed to touch anything but the head; head and upper neck can be preened by any flock mate as its an area they can't reach themselves. It seems harsh compared to other pets, like dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and more, that like to cuddle that way but birds are not the same. Mine just want to be near me, they don't need petting to know I love them, they get that when we play by target training and doing tricks. They both grab the clicker and bang it on the table until I start training them, birds dislike sitting still and constantly love mental stimulation and physical movement that training/play provides. Also agree with diet changes needed, though I think the vet was trying to be tactful in how he approached the needed changes for health and rather have a little change at a time, otherwise the clients might bulk so much they won't change anything, making the situation worse, tho was a little lax on the warning about amount of seeds that's healthy :/ ( daily treats yes, full meal, hardly ever, if at all, and never 2x a day) you'd be surprised at how much that impacts hormones/emotions in birds, 1 week on fresh veggies and both my GCCs acted less aggressive and territorial, and they're a forth (or less) of an ecky size. It's easy to get misinformation on birds, go by what the wild ones eat, especially in Australia where several species that can be pets are also wild, and accidentally hurt the pets but easy to correct once you know. Everyone makes mistakes tho and doesn't think or know where to look for good information. I got lucky my breeder had those resources and passed them onto me, some ppl don't have that or got their bird before the relatively new revolution in diet and bird care changes, and may believe in those older ideas bc they haven't been shown why the new information is better and scientifically supported for the birds. I understand sticking with what you know has kept your pet alive, especially because past information was not the best as birds were less common as pets. So while I don't exactly like what I saw, I get how it can happen and seem to be the best way. Also, exotic animal vet's that are trained for exotics are rare everywhere, often the vet does side research or has them as pets and doesn't only focus on those in school, meaning they can be wrong, they are human too.
I appreciate your effort to educate people. Animal Defenders International, a group I support, recently released a Macaw and many other wild animals, back into their homelands! I pray for these creatures that someday soon people will learn to respect them and not think of keeping them as pets or anything else, just let them do the job they were supposed to do, live in nature as part of an ecosystem.
I had one just like him. He is passed now, but our vet said there was nothing we could do for the plucking. He was amorous towards me not my husband.
We had 3 birds at the same time. He didn't like them.
@@debrarobinson5023 Where they the same species?
I really don’t understand why that diet wasn’t addressed in more detail.The one she was feeding was awful 😞
It was, he told her to stop it dead in its tracks, and only feed him small amounts of seeds and greens like spinach and broccoli going forward.
I’m sure he gave her a longer lesson on diet, and it was was edited out for time.
Tropical rainforest bird. Diet should also consist of fruit and veggies.
She might love Harry but she's killing him. Eclectus parrots should not get seed and millet except in very small quantities. She also need to cook those beans. People that "love" their pets but don't do their homework to learn what is best for them aren't loving them in the right way and will find out they have a very sick or dead pet.
Some of the beans she is feeding should not be fed at all. The bird is not on a healthy diet at all.
Are kidney beans toxic to eclectus parrots too?
It's not all on the owners, it is so widely believed the birds just live off seed that it seems common sense. When something is believe to be that obvious, you don't look it up. You wouldn't look up how many sides a triangle has because it's common sense. Luckily where I buy my birds they tell me what their diet should be.
I have read and watched videos that state lentils can be sprouted and given to parrots. Is this method okay and safe?
Most birds shouldn’t have excessive seeds in any form. Ours have the seasonal mix from bird tricks and cold pressed pellets from them as well they’re the best we’ve found with no sugar or additives. We give treats for flight training and in foraging toys with no dyes, plastics, or metals. I knew nothing about birds when I got with my Fiancé and he already had a bird that viewed him as a mate so I spent six months researching our conures. And it’s paid off his bird is no longer plucking himself bald and bloody and screaming the entire day he only yells if I space and don’t feed him within ten minutes of breakfast or dinner time. And we got him a companion who he gets on with really well. They’re such amazing creatures but the more I interact with them the more I think they should be in the wild. I feel like they would have been so much happier in a flock instead of with pink squashy aliens who don’t even speak the language. It breaks my heart for them because even with our best efforts it’s nothing compared to the freedom and socialization they would have had in the wild.
I have a male eclectus. He is 8 years old. His food is fresh vegetables, a little fresh fruit such as pomegranate and kiwi, and nutritional pellets. At first his feathers began turning black on the tips. Then he began plucking about a year and a half ago. I took him to three different avian vets to be sure he did not have any underlying issues such as liver problems, etc. All testing was done and he is in a healthy state. Now we knew it was more of an emotional condition. My parrot has so many toys and play areas, but he still gets bored. If he is not with me and my family, he will pluck. I agreed to allow him to take haloperidol and I have to say it is working. He has grown back his tail and wing feathers. His chest feathers are still dark in color. I believe his problem is part hormonal and he needs to be with us at all times. Birds are extremely smart and need to be challenged and entertained. When I have to leave the house now, I turn on a movie or Bug Bunny cartoons. This seems to help when I'm absent. My bird seems to be getting through this plucking event. Hope my story has been helpful.
Hi! How is he doing now? Wishing you all the best! 💚
haloperidol to a human is disgusting, even more to a pet.
a vet in San Diego uses haloperidol. I have a rescue Congo gray who plucked after sever trama . I was very lucky because plucking is so self reinforcing and self soothing it can be very resistant to treatment. because of my job I was aware of this from work with young human cutters. IF the plucking persisted and was more than cosmetic I would have used this drug as a last resort but gone to it quickly. I was lucky as it stoped with training safety a good diet and a ton of attention. and luck. I use clicker training. I would have gone to clothing next but it was not needed. she now has great feathers is a confident happy bird, talks a lot. the outcome is so much better than I expected. I recommend training and diet first adequate sleep and light are also important weather it is your bird or child. get help and address as soon as you can. use drugs when needed but it is not always needed. The rewards of using natural methods are so wonderful as we now have a great relationship with no biting or any issues. It takes time and a commitment. never frighten or punish. use a routine with short frequent trainings. end with jackpot stay positive. What you learn about training will apply to your relationships with people too. do not beat yourself up if you must go to drugs for mutilation as many birds have been saved. if only cosmetic try a holistic approach. that is my reconmendation . I also stop peting at the neck as suggested here. Invest on a book on clicker training though I retired it quickly as she mimicks the clicker sound. good luck. @@redrumax
haloperidol is poison for humans, why would you give that to a pet? insane.
@@maryalicecampbell341
As soon as I saw her petting his back I was like oh shoot
The Bird Didn't Need Medication, It Needed A Proper Diet And Better Handling From It's Owners
I hope someone told her not to give alcohol to her birds, or any pets. Just my opinion...
@@ChiefHerzensCoach it’s not a black bird obviously...
Animals are way more sensitive to certain toxins and alcohol is one of those toxins. One shot of alcohol the way human can be just fine but one shot to a dog that was the same size of the human can be lethal. I completely agree never ever ever give pets any alcohol. The only time a pet should have any form of alcohol is for cleaning a wound or vetrinary purposes.
alchohol is poison to birds.
@@serenac6616 it's poison to all animals, including humans. Which of course includes birds.
@@catiku5969 I know. But as you said, a few drops probably won't affect humans but would affect small animals.
This one sparks anger.
A lot of anger with me especially considering the vet did not tell her what she was doing to cause the problem, just drugs the bird!! Yes the medication will help but that's not the root cause!
They handled it very very wrong. This Eclectus need a diet of leafy greens, fresh fruits, vegetables, sprouts. He also needs toys!
Is that lady for real? She may not be capable of raising a bird.
Birds should never be alone, they are flock creatures. Always have at least two birds, if you must have birds. Solitary birds become neurotic.
I think it depends on what kind of bird... my grandparents had an African Grey (I believe that's the proper name for them) for years, she was doing just fine
@@Sabouma28 May I presume that your grandparents were retired and were able to give their bird constant attention, & never left it alone? An old pal used to run a bird sanctuary, & all of the neurotic birds that came to him were birds of all varieties that had been alone in cages, they plucked their feathers, etc. They didn't need prozac, they needed other bird pals. My wife and I adopted a lovebird that had been owned by clueless people who kept it in a cage in a dark pantry. The bird had done massive plucking, was depressed and unresponsive. After we got her and introduced her to our other lovebirds, she fully recovered within weeks. She didn't need prozac, she needed the companionship of other birds, to groom and by groomed by, and so on.
Umm, she seems neurotic.
@@Sabouma28 African Greys are incredibly sensitive. Your grandparents must have spent most of the day with it. All parrots need to be in a flock, there's no discussion to be had about it.
i have a cockatiel that’s alone and she’s perfectly fine. shut up
This clip makes me so sad for the bird... Most animals should have a companion. And educated owners. Sooo much is wrong with this. I hope Dr. Chris explained more bluntly off camera
They handled it very very wrong. This Eclectus need a diet of leafy greens, fresh fruits, vegetables, sprouts. He also needs toys!
The Biggest Loser lol lol 😂 This was adorable.
I just want to say something in the discussion that this has started. There are tons of information that is incorrect when it comes to birds. It's nearly impossible sometimes to separate the bad advices from the good ones, especially if you are a beginner. I had birds for some time and I can promise you all that I did my research before I got them. Appropriate food, cage and so on. Still I laked in so many ways. Eventually I unfortunately ended up in a place where I just couldn't keep them anymore. It was to expensive. The woman that took them over told me a lot of stuff that I didn't know. She knew that I wasn't doing wrong because I didn't care. It was because there are to many sources with wrong information. A huge problem when it comes to pets that aren't as usual as a dog, cat or horse. So give her some credit for calling a vet and finding out why the bird wasn't happy. I bet you all that Chris told her a lot more behind the scenes. He is a true animal lover and will teach her how to take appropriate care of that poor bird.
Birds are very intelligent.
Thus they need alot of interaction, like social activities, toys, etc.
They get loneliness, depression, etc, very easily. Because there's alot of thinking going on.
If you dont have time for them dont get one. Or atleast get them a mate.
Mate or friend. BirdTricks has a great podcast going in depth with all the information an owner needs to know about bird introducing bird.
Not happy with giving the bird Prozac. Education and proper care and diet, NOT drugs. First time I have been disappointed in this show.
🐼 Big Bear Hugs from a 67 yr old grandma in Kirby, Texas, USA 🐼 🖤🖤🖤
Why didn't they just give him a female bird to keep him company?
giving another bird (especially the other gender) would make him bond to the female bird. And the owner will never be able to hold him again.( i work with birds so thats why i know this) Plus, this bird is an eclectus, and finding another one would be a bit hard and expensive..
@@ChiefHerzensCoach I'm afraid my cockatiel won't like me anymore if I get her a second cockatiel.. she's already very sassy bc she wasn't hand raised, but she's my pal that rides on my shoulder & takes naps with me. I want a second from a breeder that I can pet, and for my bird to have company while im working. Thoughts? She's 3 & my first bird :)
@Rose Diamond 4, obviously keeping a parrot disrupts their natural behavior. I believe you are correct. No wonder there are so many videos of parrots biting, plucking their feathers out, and all sorts of problems you never see in wild populations where they can avoid humans.All these cute pet parrot videos just keep the suffering going.
@@stephsexoticpets You should get the second parrot. Parrots shouldn't be kept alone unless you spend most of the day with them - and if you work full time, it's over 8 hours that your 'tiel is alone. It's perfectly possible to have a strong bond with a bird even if there are other birds around. But even if it pulls away from you a little bit, your bird's mental health should be the most important thing, shouldn't it? I have four cockatiels, two of them never liked humans, but the other two need a ot of love from me as well. The male checks up on me at least twice an hour, and the female is a snugglebug who requires a lot of scritches every day.
@@dragonfly9821 You're just the person I wanted to ask! My biggest fear is that getting a second tiel would mean double the screams. My greatest hope is that getting a second would help reduce the contact calls when I need to put her away, & overall sound. It doesn't bother me too much when she screams, but it does bother my boyfriend. Would it help by keeping her company while I'm working? I've had her for three years, and was a college student who was never away longer than like 6 hours. I'm looking to start an actual 9-5 job this fall, but I feel terrible leaving her, & would adore another bird. I live in Duluth, MN, & don't even know where I can find a hand raised tiel. Thank you for your help!
Why hasn't the owner done proper research before and since she got this beautiful Eclectus male. The females are even prettier. The diet was horrible. If she really cares for her parrot, she needs to talk with the breeder or someone at an aviary. Aren't Eclectus or Eclecti native to Australia? She should be able to find an expert on the parrot's diet. Where are the fresh fruits and veggies along with pellets?
oh jeez, the moment I saw the way she's stroking the bird, I knew exactly what the problem was. Poor bird.
I hope someone tells all these bird owners that there are wrong ways of petting birds which they associate with an actual mate preening them. It gets the bird all hormonal. And this in turn can lead to the bird being more attached to one person and jealousy as they see their "mate"/person as only theirs.
Their wingssssss
what are the right and wrong ways of petting a bird?
@@thebutterflywizardess8042 For One, Don't Kiss It's Beak Or Pet It's Back. That Gets It Excited
@@2012petvet Do you mean hyper excited or um...aroused?
@@thebutterflywizardess8042 Yep. It's Why The Parrot He Was Treating Was So Sexually Frustrated. Every Time She Kisses His Mouth Or Strokes His Back, It Reaffirms In His Head That They Are Indeed Mates And He Didn't Like Seeing His Mate With Another Man.
He should have suggested Harry gets a friend before suggesting prozac
Or training or diet change. Jumping straight to strong medication such as prozac is... a bit much
Telling ppl to just give birds drugs to solve problems is not a good message. They need to stop petting him like that, feeding that awful diet and give him toys or even getting another bird for company if they don't have time.
That won’t cure his trauma, he’s extremely anxious and needs to have his symptoms settled.
I hate the fact people say animals are stupid and don't have feeling. They are wrong I have seen the difference in many different animals they love, hate is a strong word to use but very true. They cry they feel pain, happiness also anger same as humans emotions. They need to be treaded like the same as we want to be treaded.
pretty pastel please has the same bird, who is going through a similar "fun time" moment, but no feather pulling. just a very aggressive loving XD
They could consider getting the bird a mate so he won’t feel like he has competition from the husband.
Can I just say how HOT Dr. Chris looks in that blue shirt with those eyes? Oh my lord!
Yep, for 7yrs we have the cutest dog and as soon as my hubby and I would cuddle, Scotty would try to get between us. I use to say he was the best birth control out there. 😂😂😂😂
Well you learn something every day. I didn't know that pets could be given prosaic. I would have been nice to see how he was doing sometime later. 👍👍😁😁👌👌👏👏
A very good, valid point. 👍👍
They handled it very very wrong. This Eclectus need a diet of leafy greens, fresh fruits, vegetables, sprouts. He also needs toys!
I'm shocked that the vet said to give an Eclectus any seeds. Eclectus should be eating fresh veg and some fruit and a little quality pellet. Otherwise expect a sick bird or a dead one. Might as well be feeding the bird a diet of cookies and ice cream.
They handled it very very wrong. This Eclectus need a diet of leafy greens, fresh fruits, vegetables, sprouts. He also needs toys! Also she is handling him wrong and sexually stimulating him
This advice is wrong on every level and could kill the bird, especially the info given on the diet this bird
need to survive and thrive. Read a book on Eclectus parrots! Black feathers are created by a fungus formed by the oil in your hands.They pull feathers out of their chests to line the nest, they form deep affections for men and for women.far fewer birds are captured in the wild these days in N America. They are mostly bred.
Hope that this issue can be solved.
Sure miss your show, ( De. Chris pet vet). Love how you interact with animals and people not to mention birds, etc.
It would be great of the actual date of the episode were included in description.
This lady takes her bird with her. She was at an outside rest when I met him.
I had a cockatoo that did that to my husband on a regular basis since he was the leader of the pack or the flock. And he absolutely hated me used to chase me down hallways and I have several scars he hated me so much me so much
cockatoos are psychos...
That is so sad 😭
Hoping for follow up. Love your cases, love to know resolution. Cheers!🦋💜🦋
You're the best Vet ever 💓
What a beautiful color of beak. 🦜🦜🦜🦜
Please give us an update. I'm dying to know what happens!
I buy my bird natural wooden baskets from 2nd hand stores. Basket must not have paint or oil on it. Then I soak them in water to get the basket clean. When you buy used basket, even when they look clean need to soak. That water will turn yellow. Then I dry the basket completely. Then I put the basket in a paper back but let half of the basket stick out so the bird can get in. Then my bird spends hours taking the basket apart. It also works when the bird is wound up or when I need to go some where. She loves it. Birds have an incessive drive to gnarl on things. She plays for hours till the basket is turned into little wood splinters. If you want your bird to stop biting holes into closing and picking on it self, the basket will help with that also.
she likely was petting him improperly.I can see her stroking his back which is a big no-no. It's easy to over love our pets but birds should NEVER be stroked outside of their head or neck. Anywhere else is very sensual and that frustration can lead to feather plucking. Setting pet boundries, along with engaging in activities like training should help. She should also keep more preening toys around to try and distract him.
They handled it very very wrong. This Eclectus need a diet of leafy greens, fresh fruits, vegetables, sprouts. He also needs toys! Also she is handling him wrong and sexually stimulating him
What an aweful owner!
I have a yellow headed Amazon Parrot. And he loves my family but he has picked me for his soulmate. I feed him, spend lots of time with him. That's what a Parrot does. Harry has picked the lady as his soulmate.
I mean shes stroking his back which sexually stimulates the bird, so no wonder he "chose" her.
Omg prozac lol
well eclectus parrots have longer digestive systems so it takes them longer to process their food and if youre feeding your eclectus a high fat diet theyll absorb more of that fat than the average parrot. so id just recommend using seeds and millet (and any other fatty food) for training purposes or as treats every once in a while
Exactly. This bird needs colorful veggies. I hate seeing well-meaning parrot owners make their birds miserable by not taking the time to learn how to properly care for them
That’s one beautiful bird 🦜
So does the bird get better?
4:30 man what the actual hell
I thought the same thing! What the….
Dr Chris is so good with exotic animals,birds etc just such a successful vet.
I hope it’s a happy ending but what about a mate for Harry?
Depending on the bird sometimes it’s worse to get them a mate.
Harry seems to see “mama” as his mate, and is already aggressive towards her husband.
Introducing a female could make him bond more with her, and then he becomes aggressive with both humans.

Salutations 💌
Chris is so fit omgg😍
That's the birdy version of picking your nose. LOL!
It's due to stress, I used to pull my hair when I was 11 because of studying
Hi Chris you say you have never seen a parrot rubbing himself up against some one and it's a dominance gesture, I had a male cockatoo and it was certainly no dominance gesture because we had a lovely relationship, he did attack my husband and bit his face, but sure did like making love to my hand and who was I to spoil his fun. I also had a cockatiel who would shake his head and be sick on me when I was putting on my make up and he was stood on top of the mirror, I learned in bird terms that's really what love sick is. Love your shows, you treat and speak to animals the way I do, because they all have their own personalities and they do understand what we say to them. I grew up on an animal rescue farm and I am an animal healer and communicator.
Imagine my surprise when I was told by a cat that I was a nosey old bag but he didn't hang around on my wall after the birds when I answered him, he was shocked that heard what he'd said. LOL. 🙋😊👍💗
He’s trying to mate with him. Pretty Pastel Please’s bird does the same thing when he’s hormonal. This woman shouldn’t have this bird. She just giggles away about this. This is not a laughing matter at all. He will literally tear every feather from his body.
This shows what a shitty fake show this is.
How about getting him another bird as company?! Here in Sweden they made it illegal to keep just one bird, you'll have to keep at least two of them. Remember, most birds held as pets are herding animals so they need company. I think you can get an exemption from that law if you have an older bird who is used to live alone, though.
Sweden knows how to do things on SO many levels!
even for cockatiels?
@@stephsexoticpets I think so! But I know you can make exemptions if the bird is used to be kept as a single pet. I think this law is mostly meant to protect future "pets to be" if you know what I mean (I'm not always that good in English😉)
I own 5 birds and my cockatoo is doing the same thing
She really should have done some research before having a parrot as a pet.
I have the same parrot and he likes my mum better than my dad every time exept for when my mum feeds him,he will bite my mums hand and he loves my dad feeding him
My guess is the bird is lonely.
ProZac, the universal anxiety killer!
God loves you so much and Jesus Christ loves you so much too ❤️
that is a VERY sexually frustrated bird.
Oof, that birds diet is sooo bad😓
shes a bit like Dolores Jane Umbridge from harry potter
This is sad.
They handled it very very wrong. This Eclectus need a diet of leafy greens, fresh fruits, vegetables, sprouts. He also needs toys!
Part two I like to see if he gets his feathers back
I have dealt with dogs put on prozac...missed doses is not good for any...i dont medicate..i retrain when there are anxiety issues
I’ll teach her not to cheat on me😂. We’re having extra bubbly tonight to celebrate my dominant grooming habits 🦜 right after I get back from counseling 😂
I'm glad my cockatiel doesn't pluck her feathers, instead it's me! I take zoloft for my anxiety AND my trichotillomania (hair pulling) disorder. just wild lmao
I had to give up my two incredibly loved parrotlets when my anxiety started affecting them. They picked up on it and one started plucking. It made what I was going through (PTSD-MST from Iraq with accompanying anxiety and major depressive disorder) even worse. I was heartbroken. But I took Slater and Sinatra to a bird rescue place that promised to find them a safe and happy home. And I'm still fighting but now seven years later I have two bunny rabbits, Fur'ocious and Bumble Chunga that know when I need them and comfort me.
@@marcificht4013 Thank you for sharing your story, & for your service. I can't begin to imagine the trauma you experience / have experienced, but I am SO glad you have some fluffy buns to help you through. You must be very brave. It takes courage to give up pets, but it sounds like it was for the best. Parrots are SO emotional & have strong social intelligence, so they pick up on everything. Take care of yourself, I'll kiss my Daisy bird for you. 😊💙
@@stephsexoticpets Thank you!!! How about a neck fluffing, too? 😁
@@marcificht4013 on it as I type! Daisy, my cockatiel, appreciates it :)

Why is he so F@*#% hot??? I love this man
LOL!!
Wow! Interesting.
I love birds.
Not jealousy, diet would be my guess, didn’t see any veggies at all!!! Also, where is his enrichment, no toys!!
Birds preen like that. They are either cleaning or tipping the new feathers
You are woefully uneducated. Please research it.
he is pulling his feathers out completely.... that's not preening...
😂😂😂they would have gotten him a female parrot, I feel so sad for him. He's so lonely when she's not around.
3:09 dude wtf lmao I would be afraid of being killed in my sleep if I was that man XD
Bird is stressing out. Birds over preen when stressed out.
Why doesn't the husband be the feeder so the bird will like him more?
Prozac!?!
THIS IS DISGUSTING.
She is giving the bird alcohol, SEXUALLY ABUSING THE BIRD and wondering why he plucks? This woman doesn’t deserve a bird.
Majority of time people go “my bid only liked this person but HATED ME” no the bird didn’t hate you. YOU ALLOWED the bird to become sexually attached to one person because YOU didn’t know ANYTHING about birds.
STOP BUYING BIRDS IF YOU WANT A CUDDLY PET. GET A BUNNY.
Get a dog or a cat (if you can take care of those). Since bunnies are a lot of work and have special risks/needs too.
@@Panda72021 EXACTLY. And most don't like being held. Not so cuddly.
@@marcificht4013 I've never owned a rabbit myself, but just from watching vet shows and doing my own research I know that rabbits overheat VERY easily. And of course they can't vomit, so any intestinal obstruction or anything ingested that is potentially toxic just stays in the digestive tract, causing major (often fatal) issues. Definitely not something one just goes out and buys on a whim. (NO animal should be subjected to being an impulse buy, but especially pets that are out of the ordinary).
@@Panda72021 I have two much loved bunnies...Fur'ocious and Bumble Chunga...that are so cute they are difficult to resist when begging. They are both an awful lot of work and very high maintenance despite what people think. They have definite personalities and like I said, very few are cuddly to the extent that they LIKE to be held. Most hate it. So if you want something to cuddle, I'd suggest a dog. But my fur kids will take all the head rubs and back scritches you want to give them! As for medical issues, the main one would be stasis. Oh, and fixing them (which must be done) costs three to four times that of a cat or dog. You need an exotic vet. Which is why it's better to rescue bunnies...they are already fixed!
@@marcificht4013 It will always annoy the hell out of me when people impulse buy pets without doing research. A lot of people just go "Ohhh SO cute" and assume that's enough, without even TRYING to get an understanding of what kind of animal they are bringing into their house. Thankfully you seem to really grasp how much work rabbits are, and are respectful of their boundaries; both personal, and as a species.
Of course given some time. I would like to see an update on this 🦜 family . My 🤞 fingers are crossed that everything goes well 😊
raw beans is one thing but alchohol???? does she even have common sense?
I would be horrible with this job because I would be so mean to these people since they clearly have done no research before getting this animal. It’s atrocious, everything from the food to the petting
This vet doesn't seem to understand parrot behavior very well...
Wow,that food is no good,
🤣
People think they are Good to the animals when they feed them all kind of bad food,but they make them sick.
Sorry, doc, but I disagree with putting this parrot on Prozac. The humans need to change their behavior first and his diet. The husband needs to work with the bird to build a better relationship and the wife need to stop petting the bird like he’s a cat or dog. Head scritches only. Go follow BirdTricks. They help train the humans to change parrots’ lives for the better.
👏👏👏
i don't believe bird tricks knows how to give their birds a proper diet. sorry. but, they give their birds seeds and sunflower seeds for training. sunflower seeds can kill birds. they can damage their hearts, livers, and kidneys. i think so many people are misinformed when it comes to parrots. now, i don't know if anyone is smoking around harry, but that's a big no no! the smoke irritates their skin and will cause them to pluck and even break the feather shaft. i hope harry's parents are smart enough to at least know that! but i doubt it.
@@pgrieco56, actually, BirdTricks are more likely to give their birds nuts while training. Also, the people at BirdTricks (mainly Jamielee and Dave) feed their birds veggies and pellets, saving those fatty foods for training, but you are entitled to your opinion. I have a cockatiel and I know what is harmful to parrots and I do my best to give him what he needs.
@@crystalokelly1032 well, i have my opinion because i'm 77 yrs old and have had birds all my life. i've had several species from canaries to large macaws. i was the editor of the caged bird society newsletter in my city. i've done allot of research and written allot of articles on the care of all kinds of birds. i have even had male eclectus'. so, i think just because you have a cockatiel it doesn't makes you an expert. but, you also have a right to your opinion. i've watched bird tricks many times and i don't agree with how they feed their birds. i've seen them use sunflower seeds and they even have their own brand of food now that includes seeds. so, i think you and bird tricks need more education in that departmen.
@@pgrieco56, I respect your opinion and your experience. I never said I was an expert because I have a cockatiel. I honestly don’t have much experience with other birds outside of what I have gained the past several years having my tiel. However, I wouldn’t know what I know if I hadn’t been exposed to BirdTricks. I respectfully am going to have to agree to disagree when it comes to BordTricks.
Oh my gosh her poor husband I feel sorry for him let’s hope to god
Dr Chris mediation does the trick
