When a wild animal befriends you that must be the best. They aren't "yours" like a pet, but a true friend who chooses to come visit you.
kinda like our relationships with dogs, cats, cattle and other domesticated creatures - before we became supposedly 'civilized' we used to interact with all of nature just as this lady does edit: as equal siblings of the one Mother Earth
You should watch “My Octopus Teacher”. It’s really something
she is so lucky to have friends like that
😭❤️ well said.
My belief is the best animal or “pet” you will have in your life picks you, not you picking them. So to be selected by a wild animal (many instances of it happening) is a very special thing. Or even out of a litter, animals seem to pick better then what people do 😂 my cat of 13 years, if i ever bring anyone home and she jumps up and off afterwards means I don’t keep em (in her mind). My partner hates cats, first met my chichi, she left me forlorn and laid with him.
The fact that the cockatoo brought his wife, his bestfriend, and then later his circle of friends to the human's apartment. lol
My grandfather used to feed a flock cockatoos breads (not quite breads, Indian un-yeasted flat breads, rotis). Even ten long years after he is gone, some still hang out near our house. They have an astonishing memory, and quite unexpectedly, powerful emotions
@@kakalimukherjee3297 wow that’s amazing!! ♥️
birds are super smart and have emotions, so the cockatoo trusted her.
*cries in asian*
yea i had that happen with black crows first 1 then 21 they love there can cat food
This is truly the right way to bring birds into our lives, by their choice, with freedom to fly, and without cages. This would be so awesome to experience.
Shut up.
I have heard that when a captive bird feels stress, they pluck their feathers out. You sure don't see that with these guys (and gals).
@@dlsmpsn please shut up
I'm amazed at how these birds are flying around outside! And that they have befriended a human neighbor! Just goes to show it can work. They seem so happy, and we'll cared for 🐦❤️ 🐦❤️🐦❤️
@@susandumbill8805 they are wild birds! We see the pet ones but that's their home in Australia & in flocks. Too have them alone is cruel, we are no substitute & they are mentally damaged.
These are the moments, that make life worth living.
Seriously I’m not enchanted.
Why can't you ever let me just enjoy the moment?!?
Hope she’s aware that moving is not an option now.
“So this unit is a 2 bedroom, but you could make one room an office and it also comes with a flock of wild cockatoos, but they’re friendly. Did I show you the kitchen?”
@@thir13en59 have to get a house still one day
so true 🤣
@@thir13en59 lol 😆 that would be the reason I would get it 😝 ❤️
indeed for the next 60 + years
Most incredible part: she can tell them all apart.😂
They all look different.
Once you spend a lot of time with them, you would as well. Imagine them as dogs you raise and send them out with look alikes. Not only that, but you can also memorize their behavior
She gave them their names. And she most likely choosed names that had some personal reference for her to some of their individual characteristics. Like the one with the big crown she called french fries. She might have named that other one Bob due to some funny behaviour she observed in him that reminded her of a human Bob she knows etc. She might get confused from time to time until she recognizes that reference point in the animal again but other than that its not really that hard.
Lol
I used to do dog rescue for Samoyeds and we'd occasionally get together with our fosters/dogs and people who had previously adopted. If you've ever seen a Samoyed that will all look the same to you, and honestly I could get confused which dog was mine when 50 Samoyeds were all together at once but you learn to tell them apart.
It is so beautiful how Bob, Frenchfry and the Floofingtons have accepted you as a friend over there in Australia. You are a very nice person with a lovely home, Suzy.
Did u catch that beautiful view just near the end of the clip wow thats Manly a beautiful beachside suburb of Sydney.
Having wild animals as “guests” like this instead of keeping them in cages as “pets” seems WAY more respectful. What a heartwarming story!
Plot twist: They're stopping by to see a human in its natural habitat.
Well played 😄
They get scratched, fed, and watered and know she won't hurt them. Shame pet birds are on a decline in the USA.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
They probably know that humans have their back
That is a great comment!!
Mrs Floofington is looking at her husband thinking “Darling, don’t mess this up, she has snacks at her place”
* throws wineglass off table *
@@ericdpeerik3928 🤣
underrated comment lul
Don;’t worry, they’ll just eat the house if theres no snacks. Not a good idea to feed these fuckers
@@issimonete bruh why you cursing on a wholesome video.
what an incredible experience! This is a real perk of living in Australia.
Yeh its quite magestic when they sit at the kitchen window and take food from your hand.. until you realize they're doing constant damage to the wooden frame when your not looking. My neighbor had the edges of his door chewed off.
The exception to the rule that everything in Australia is trying to kill you.
you have special gift with birds. I know I have them. Not everyone has the patience it takes. Bravo to you
Plot Twist: She's actually their pet.

@@lairdcummings9092 they can count on her to give them snacks no doubt and water and free entertainment lol probably why they keep returning they extremely smart after all
Awesome!!!
Sounds right to me!
@@lairdcummings9092 Haha yeah! She is even in a glass cage!
We all know they are bragging with their friends that they have trained a human.
haha so true! I've been owned by a few parrots in my life.
I feel like my bird is gonna fly out one day and brag about he taught me to say ow after he bites me
This is so real. Our so called fur/feather/scaley friends are always working to adapt and modify our 'behavior' to favor theirs. I know my fur friend thinks I'm crazy for stumbling around on two spindly legs when I have four limbs. And why do I covet my fur friend's fecal material so much? Bagging it up and securing it in a locker. Is that for the really lean times idiot human?
Reminds me of the old joke: A Frenchman walks into a bar with a parrot on his head. The bartender says, "Wow, where'd you get that?" And the parrot says, "France. There are millions of them there."
😂😂😂😂
That’s the best way to have wild animal pets. Not in cages, or restricted. 💕
Haha. Adorable. I’ve got this kind of friendship with a few magpies. The mum brings her new baby with her every year and then the baby gets to know me. I hand feed them. They have waddled on into the house before too but I always leave the door open so they can leave when they’re ready. My Dad also has his little birdie mates at his work. He found 2 baby crows that had fallen from their nest. They’re grown up now but since Dad saved them and he kept feeding them now they come visit him every day at work. Along with a couple of sparrows also which Dad likes. They recognise my Dad’s Kenworth prime mover as soon as they see his truck they’re straight over to him. The little sparrows love Dad in particular because they know he protects them from the bigger birds which bully them. The 2 crows along with the sparrows always rock up same time together when they see his truck waiting for him. They stick by him and even follow him. Everyone at his work has been told never scare the birds cause they are Mark Smith’s birds. Haha. They truly are beautiful creatures. I’d love to befriend a cockie. They have such personality. Lucky woman.
I like there's Mr and Mrs Floofington, Honkerton, French Fries, and then there's Bob.
Cute lol
We all have a Bob... It's like that friend Steve from that song ;)
Always a "Bob"😊 ...good enough as long as she never has to ask "What about Bob?"
Bobs are the best!!
There’s one named grumpy stumps and another named colonel mustard
What a remarkable relationship to build with wild birds! They're so smart and so sweet. They clearly trust her.
NO! NO! NO! Many people say I am sick in the head. NOOOO!!!! I don't believe them. But there are so many people commenting this stuff on my videos, that I have 1% doubt. So I have to ask you right now: Do you think I am sick in the head? Thanks for helping, my dear emil,
@@AxxLAfriku NO!
@@AxxLAfriku No
There's heaps of studies that show parrots to be 80% more intelligent than cats and birds , most cockies and lorikeets are super smart here in Australia
@@AxxLAfriku no
Only in Australia 😊, thats one of the reasons why l love my country .😆
Cockatoos bond with humans, they become friends for life. 😊
I love that she has these cute creative names for the birds Then there's Bob
Poor Bob! 🤣
you dont wanna know what bob did
@@ricardoheaby2392 for some reason, this made me sing with a tune of "I want to know what love is" song. 🤣🤣🤣
..and French fries lol
Just like a gathering of humans, there is almost certainly a 'Bob' in there at some point.
This is the ideal way to have birds in your life in my opinion. No cages, no obligations. Just a friendship where the bird is still free to do whatever they want.
I really envy the rare souls who can have this experience with wild animals. I can't imagine having interactions with lowland gorillas, mountain lions, bob cats, whatever and living to tell about it. I usually wind up getting bitten, scratched and impaled.
@@j.p.8276 Lol. one day, one day.
So true, they dont belong in cages. Beautiful name by the way Josey.
totally agree with you. And exempt of attitude we normally see around e.g. "Ohhh found this baby "abandoned" by his/her mom, therefore, I will take home to pet" ... Then they get bored and overwhelmed and will secretly throw it away...
@@vickyvey1657 - Whatever you can do to take an animal out of the rat race of "eat or be eaten" even for a little while, is good karma for you AND the animal.
I think it says a lot about you if "wild" birds have trusted you enough to befriend you. You must have a beautiful soul. 💕
They were someones pet that got loose and picked a new owner lol
Literally what a name 'French Fry' ...Brilliant. The lady in this video is a beautiful soul.

@@IVThesimple3436 Day 71, I failed to fly. Now im on wheelchair

I’d be lying if I didn’t admit that I’m very jealous
Me to🙄
Same.
I'm jealous too; the ones that visit me just chew everything in sight unless I feed them
Me too, I dislike cats and of all the animals that can come to me on a daily basis, i get to feed - a cat 😏... i call him Mao 😅
Highly jealous
Having pets that you dont have to cage . Wonderfull
2:19 - Wow, French Fry is a Super Saiyan Cockatoo lol.
its a formal greeting for Cockatoos to give a foot shake you have learned well
in birdculture that is considered a foot move
@@EnvyTVable in human culture it is too. Shocking i know
I went to a pet store once and they had this cockatoo that would offer his foot to shake hands but then he'd pull your hand in amd bite you lol.
@@panzerkrieg3509 cockatoos can be notorious pranksters.
@@panzerkrieg3509 Probably terribly bored in his cage. They're smart birds and almost as long lived as us. The ones I've known have really enjoyed being petted too. I've yet to be bitten by one, but they sure have a powerful bite.
Mr. Floofington: So, you've been drinking? Without me? Unacceptable *flings wine glass off table*
I think he was upset because it was empty. 😁
😂😂😂 he wanted to have a swig too
This is how birds should be 'pets'.
She's like a real life Disney princess 👸
Imagine living in a place where the wild birds out your window aren't sparrows or crows but COCKATOOS! And not just cockatoos, but ones that come visit you in your home! Wow. Just wow.
Exactly what I was thinking! What an incredible experience!
I live in the Victorian bush and I get large flocks of them, and loads of other parrots, I love them, they come over first thing in the morning and before dusk, they are very noisy birds, but I loved watching them from my deck.
Here, they are as common as sunshine. Oh sorry, yes we have a lot of that too. 😎🦜
It’s truly incredible
I know right? What a beautiful sight that must be. ❤️ However, I will say that I absolutely adore crows (and all the corvid sub-species). They are little birdy geniuses. 🎓
I think the birds are worried about the humans. They aren’t coming out like they used too 😂
Funny and sad but you have got a point there. This may be true! My daughter and I will go feed the seagulls and I thought this same exact thing
Holy moley I think you may be on to something there.
Australia is a lot more minor Covid wise. Well except for Melb and part of Sydney.

When you have pure gold heart. This sweet things will happen.
One of my favourite things about being in Australia is the birds. Cockatoos are so intelligent and social that I'm sure they find her as interesting as she finds them.
Ah yes screaming flying toddlers that live for 40 years I love them so much

@@dalelc43 That's almost as old as the oldest human... Imagine living with one bird your entire life.

She's like an actual Disney princess.
Then most Australians are. This is quite common.
@@michaelversace4441 Wait really? :o
@@charlotte6154 yea my Australian friends are best friends with spiders
I had an unusual moment like that with a Carolina Wren last year, twice. I had peeked in on a nest, let the babies see me, smell me, and touch my finger if they wanted, while their parents looked on. I would chat at them, whistle, make kissey noises, etc.. When the babies fledged, I thought that was that, but days later, one came near, and then climbed onto my hand from a log in was seated on. I was just upset I didnt have my phone to take a picture! When it was done being admired, it flew off, but stayed near, watching me do yardwork. The next day, in the front yard, I assume it was the same one, landed on a large pot, and after I took a couple pics of it, I again coaxed it to climb onto my finger, then hand, and this time I was ready. I took several selfies with it, including where I brought it up for a kiss. I got just before and just after it gently pecked my lips, and then it flew off. It is the happiest I have ever looked in any picture ever taken, aside from dancing with my late husband at my late sister's first wedding reception.
Best disney princess animal
How smart they are to have PICKED this lovely human!
This woman has a beautiful and pure soul because these birds are VERY smart, they won't have trust in just anyone.

Word!
@@tofuneverbleeds I have a bird and a nice cage but he is always outside
@@serenac6616 same but my bird passed a week ago
Floofington is a great name for a cockatoo. Floofy for the closest friends 😂
All these years we thought we were free and watched the birds. When really they've been the ones watching us. 😁 She just stayed home long enough for the birds to realize someone lives there.
When I was in the Army, I was stationed on Okinawa, Japan. I was the barracks sergeant and had my own room, a pretty sweet deal. Walking through the town, I saw a small pet store and saw this beautiful white cockatoo I a cage there. Out of curiosity, I asked how much and the lady said $50 us dollars. I talked with my first segargent and he let me keep her in my room. We became very close. and I kept the top art of the cage open and made a perch from an old floor lamp. She became part of my life and woke me up in the mornings by flying over to the bed and pulling the blanket away from my face and grooming my eyebrows and lashes. I took her outside and let her fly around but she alway wanted to stay close to me and sit on my shoulder. When my tour was up I tried to take he back to the states but the animal quarantine restrictions were very strict and she would have had to stay in quarantine for a month by herself. I found a friend that was living on the island and gave her to him and his family a couple months before I left and visited her almost every day until she got used to them. I still think about here and wished I could have brought her home.
That is an awesome story!!!! Reading this really brought me joy, thank you
Are you still in touch with her new owners? Is she doing all right?
I left okinawa in 1983 and stayed in touch for a couple years but lost contact with them. They were bird people with a couple parrots of their own so I know she was left in good hands. People as how I knew my cockato was a female. I had her with me for 2 years, and I named her Sam. About a year after I got her, I found an egg in her nesting cage. I looked at her and she looked just as surprised as me. So after that I still called her Sam, but it was short for Samanthra. Also, I never mentioned that she was an Umbrella cockato. Her crest was very large when she raised it. She liked it when I scratched the bald spot under it. Lol. To this day when I look at the pictures of her and I I still miss her.
Thank's for sharing your story! Get another pet animal!
when my daughter moved out she left her cat. I love him, he barffs. I cant let him outside because the wild cats will kill him and eat him, he barffs. he is 12 now and he cries because he gets bored. he has now bonded with me, he barffs. if I give him away I know he will be unhappy so we keep him. he barffs. my wife has a Blue Tip cat, the tip's of his ears are Navy Blue, the Vet tells me he is worth $1000. I can't let him outside ether. and my wife wont let me sell him. he barffs
They have told their friends that she is a safe person to hang out with😁😁😁very sweet video☺
Right!? I thought the same 😂❤
Isn't that amazing?

This is how to have the best of both worlds for these beautiful creatures; Human companionship and complete freedom to live in the wild - cage free!
Oh to be blessed to have these beautiful birds wild around your home and that THEY choose to visit you……I’m very envious of you lucky folks. Mama K, a human owned by an African Grey named George.
How the tables have turned, we are locked in a cage and they are out and freeeeeeee😂😂

@@freshencounter Amen to that...
Thanks covid 19
Imagine waking up to that every day! What a wonderful thing. You know you're a good person when wild animals choose to come to you.
They are amazing indeed Mandy 😊 Cockatoo’s are really loud so you can’t miss them and their sound is almost prehistoric like. My friend from Canada came to visit with her little boy and a flock flew over screeching as they do and the poor lad thought dinosaurs were coming in the sky and he started crying, bless his heart. 😊 He has heard nothing like it before.
Is this kind of cinferella story?😂
That is so much cooler than keeping them as pets. Having a relationship with wild birds.
Without a doubt and just look how much healthier the wild birds look compared to their jailed brethren.
The fact they walked over when she called them, and hopped on their lap for pats. Just how adorable is this
This is how birds should be. Wild and free and not being miserable and caged. Hats off to the lady who understands and treats them well.
I couldn't agree more!! I hate seeing people who have birds caged and their wings clipped. All I can think about is how happy they would be if they were outside. I feel the same way when I see dogs in people's back yard, 50 feet from the house in a 4x4 kennel. The birds and the dogs have lost hope and you can see it in their eyes. 😥😥
seriously though
@@jenniekelly571I know right.
@@jenniekelly571 I'll raise you, 4'x4' kennel in a yard is far better than the cruel treatment of having a large dog in an apartment or condo. I see that way to often. As far as birds go, the parrots I see in Canada are all bred in captivity, most are very well treated and cared for. Those that aren't get taken by animal rescue and fostered into a better home. Greyhaven is the parrot center for my area, you have to pass 2 interviews to get to the point of paying large cash to have a parrot, which is still legally Greyhaven's bird. Greyhaven WILL pull a bird of it is not well treated. An old roomie bought a Moluccan Cockatoo and actually signed it over to Greyhaven to insure he would always have a good home. The bird was nuts, he adored rhythm and blues instrumental music ( dancing and singing to it ). Very well behaved though, to the point of walking from my shoulder to my wrist before pooping so it wouldn't get on me. I frequently walked 5 - 6 miles with him on my wrist or shoulder.
If I was in lockdown with these little guys I wouldn't want to leave even after lockdown 😂 ❤️
I don’t want to leave to be honest 😬🤭 I love working from home with my hubby and 3 cats
All through lockdown the flock of bickering Lorikeets that come to my bird feeder competed for prime pozzie on the podium with a flock of Galahs. Their antics, hanging up side down in the trees, telling me off for not refilling the bird feeder, splashing rainbow colours through the air as they squabbled, kept me sane and gave me joy. We luckily also received visit from.King Parrots, Corellas and the occasional Cockie. Australian birds are such comedians and so full of spunk, I love it!
My goodness. I haven't seen anything like this before.
Lol same. I wanna move to Australia
What's LockDown?

I can't get over how much healthier these birds looks than most domestic ones I've seen.
That’s because they don’t belong in captivity. It’s really sad that humans think that this is OK to keep them in captivity. I hope that birds will not be allowed to be pets in the future when people become more educated about how wrong it is.
@@anti-ethniccleansing465 well as long as they are not held too badly in captivity it should be ok like allowing them to be free 12/7 care and free roaming?
@@bearwastaken6579 That is _not_ what the vets tell you. They tell you to lock pet birds in their cage at night when it’s time to go to sleep, and then put a sheet covering over the cage. Not sure where you got your info from, but it was wrong when being compared to what vets instruct. Of course I don’t do that, as like I said, my parrot’s cage never gets locked (and I don’t put a sheet covering over his cage either). Now, you said “first of all...” which implies you have more points to come that you will be making (points that will start with “second of all,” “third of all,” etc), but you ended your comment after only making one (wrong) point. Did you have any other input you wanted to leave? I would love the opportunity to correct you on any other info you are misinformed about.
I was going to make that exact point, about how much healthier they look
Pet birds are *hand raised* to be pets, and they live even longer, they are family too and most of them go to sleep in a cage the cage is for their safety, I have 6 rescue cockatiels and they roam free from morning to night and go to sleep only in the cage.
"10 AM is not the time be drinking! (Throws glass off the table).
An astute observation I’m sure did not go unnoticed by most viewers; yet failed to mention. Why? Isn’t it likely they simply chose not to judge another who only wanted to share a brief requite of joy&hope amidst a terrifying deadly pandemic that’s left many in sequestered isolation & loneliness by their govmt? The loss of G-d’s highest gift to humankind-bonding relationships- even briefly-can be almost unbearable, esp to those who have yet to recognise His Love. Applaud her gift & let go of judgement for that is G-d’s domain, not ours.

From parrots perspective they come to visit human cage every day 🤣
When I had a pet Quaker, he made friends with several wild birds in the neighbourhood. Every day at around 2 PM, a beautiful Blue Jay would land on my balcony, perch on the rail and get as close to the balcony door as possible. He would hang out and chat back and forth with Beetle and it was adorable to see. Every day, always within 10 minutes of 2 PM. After we lost Beetle in an accident, the Blue Jay continued to come to the balcony looking for him for nearly a month. It was heartbreaking - the Jay would desperately try to get into my apartment, almost like he thought I was keeping Beetle from him. Seeing this video reminded me f their bond and just how amazing it was.
Awwwwwww
Awe I’m sorry for your loss
What is a "Quaker"? In America that's a type of cult lmao
@@p1nkfreud No, no - NOT the Quakers from the oatmeal box either. LMAO. Quakers are a species of small parrot native to Central and South America (IIRC). They have a bright green body and a grey breast area and feature some teals and brighter colours in their underfeathers. They can be a gorgeous soft blue, or grey or even yellow I think (never seen a yellow one though). In New York City there are wild flocks of once-tamed pets who escaped or were set free. They live in large colonies and build incredible nests. They make awesome pets for people who learn how to deal with them properly, but they an be incredibly noisy. They are decent talkers and pick up human speech fairly quickly. I wish I could share their amazing qualities with people who do not know about them. The biggest difference between Quakers and most of the other parrots kept as pets is that their tails long and thin compared with, say, an African Grey with its broad, blunt tail. Look for wild Quaker nests in NYC here on KZhead - the magnificence of their structures will blow your mind! Having a beautiful Quaker cuddle into your shoulder is a really neat experience - they almost purr when they are quite happy (mine all did - I have had three).
Darwinsmom Wow that's awesome thanks! Yeah I was very confused when you said you had one as a pet and figured I'd understood things horribly wrong hahaha
I love the fact that they are free and come visit us! This is the way it should be, we can enjoy each other's company in freedom. She is lucky😊
Sulphur Crested Cockatoos, beautiful, friendly and destructive.
That's cute how the birds get together and hangout with the lady God bless her soul and the birds too🙌🛐🙏
Honkerton's wee honk is so cute.
(honk)
@Anxiety Brain, It is so adorable and precious at the same time!
And he had a little feather beard, my heart
Much better than Harpo Marx. :D
Adorable. SO sweet animals.
They know she's a loving person. This is wholesome.
They look so cute when they walk
That gorgeous little waddle is so cute
I love everything about them, but I especially like the way they waddle when they walk.
Yes, really cute.
Then he waddled away waddle waddle✨
And graze neighbourhood footpaths like sheep…
My Chihuahua walks the same way and I love her
You are very lucky the cockatoos sense that you are one of them. I believe that you are Kind and gentle also.
They are majestic 😍😍you are a lucky human that these wild birds trust you and come to visit you everyday and I think they also like you
This woman : *Makes a bond with a wild bird* Me : *Tries to sleep* My bird : Peace Was Never An Option.
Mine waits til I'm just asleep and screams at me. They have very slick since of humors.nlol
I'm so lucky I have polite birds. They keep quiet if they know (or think) that I'm sleeping.
Imagine... having a pet cockatoo that you don't have to take care of or deal with its squeaking 24/7. This is literally the dream
Yep
The World right now needs cute & adorable & this video supplies all that. I love this Aussie's videos! Thank you from Kansas
this is the best way to have a pet bird - one that is wild but has the free will to fly and visit whenever they like
Bird 1: Mr. Floofington Bird 2: Mrs. Floofington "Aww what cute names" Bird 3: Bob
How do you tell the difference between the Mr. And the Mrs.? She is so lucky to be able to have these experiences with these wild birds
Males have black eyes while females have dark reddish-brown eyes. You have to be up close and have good lighting. It's this way in most, if not all, cockatoo species.
Hi In animal or bird kingdom the male is always nicer looking and bigger. Consider lions or peacocks . Thank u.
@@narendermakhijani9512 Actually, the females in birds are generally larger, considering that they lay the eggs
@@narendermakhijani9512 not in this species they are nearly identical. Look at budgies the male isn't more attractive or colourful and bigger either.
Is that right? I visit a caged one and ive wondered what sex it is. Thanks I will check it out now.
After seeing this I am convinced that this is the best way you could have a pet bird. Not always in your house so they can still go and live out their lives. They will still stop by but they won’t be confined to a house.
Depends which part of the world you live in, we are in North East England and have a male Whiteface Cockatiel called Spike who has the run of the house but wouldn't last two minutes outside because of predators or the climate.
She has the pleasure of making friends with such wonderful birds and they have the freedom to visit her when they want rather than being locked in a cage
We rented the apartment right in front of you 10 years ago and the highlight of our time there was the cockatoos landing on the balcony railing. What a gift. Love Manly, can't wait to get back one day
What 😳!!!!. This was 10 years ago ?
@@arun_kannan No, he's saying he used to live in Manly (where this video was taken) 10 years ago.
Small world
@@arun_kannan Dude, 10 years ago the world was still free.
That’s so cool!
I have a whole flock of cockatoo visitors every morning and evening on my balcony even though they are so noisy but it's an absolute pleasure to know these intelligent and beautiful birds.😘
He was showing off his new pal 🤣👏🏾🥺! Why can’t my life be this meaningful!?!
“Mr. Fluffington!?!” 😂👏
You would prefer Mssr. Feathers, perhaps..? 😁
