Cockatoo suggests Mom not worry about the bump sound upstairs... 😯

Thank you for watching Benjamin the Best Bird! Benji is an extraordinary bird who sadly must rely on humans for his entire existence. That is not how a bird should live. Birds should be flying in the skies and living in the trees. But not all are lucky enough to be living that life. Instead they are existing in the lives that people have forced them into. Before finding us, Benji was in a stressful situation, and he plucked his feathers in response, so often that many of the the follicles died. He has only half the usual number of feathers, and will never fly. He will need someone to watch over him for the rest of his life. There are far more failures in cockatoo ownership than there are successes, and the ones paying the price are the birds - who are ironically the only ones not at fault in this situation. If you are watching bird videos and thinking, “Wow, I want one!“ please understand that you are only seeing a few minutes in a day with a cockatoo... I’d like to share some reality
