She is giving her bird the worst case of blue balls multiple times a day and she is wondering why he is self mutilating due to consistent frustrations.

If what she showed is all the bird eats it definitely doesn't help. I mean where's his greens? His veggies? What the heck lady?

100%. That's also why he sees her husband as competition.

Exactly right

oh wow! i did not know that at all! :O damn.. yea this type of information should really be given at pet stores and clinics like a brochure or something would be nice. Seriously though. I'm still shocked right now lmao

beastiality is best lol

@@azure_0773 wtf

You do know thats not all In one day, yes? Pretty sure the amount of food is okay, since the bird doesn't look obese or even really fat at all, the issue is the food he is getting. Too much fat etc. It's gonna make his liver wayyyy too fatty

It's not so much the amount of food, but the quality. Half his diet should be veggies plus pellets for large parrots, and I didn't see a single veg there, not even a leaf. She's killing his liver slowly and surely.

@@specialbudgies4217 completely correct. That bird will be lucky to see 12 years old but could have lived for 40. She has no idea about Eclectus.

@@specialbudgies4217 agree. I have 2 budgies who only get seed and pellets for dinner , rest of the day is fruits and veggies , spray millet as a treat . I can't believe that birds diet ...

@@aleesha5579 Seed is ok for a Budgies the diet you are making for your budgies is actually perfect. Ecelectus have a quite a different digestive system to other parrots im sure you know? its longer... meaning any fats or proteins are held longer in the body. Vitamins need to be naturally provided, and they are picky so you need to be aware of there needs. I LOVE LOVE LOVE my Eclectus an amazing boy. But the diet, is the downfall of Eclectus and ignorance to the needs of that.

How true!! 🙁 Just wanted to mention, I have a Meyers parrot called Yuki.. Great name choice. 👍🏻

@@KB-df3dq thanks :D

Yes! Mayhem

WHY IS SHE GIVING HIM ALCOHOL- WHAT?!

@@fabujestici dont know. i honestly dont know. like what viable answer would she have to this question? that poor eccie deserves a better home. i dont trust that shell follow what chris told her to do for long. i hope the bird is still alive, and gets rehomed to someone who knows how to take care of a bird. especially eclectuses. theres not a single excuse for her to give her bird alcohol. i wish everyone would just do their research before getting a pet, but i think thats just asking too much. so many birds are impulsively bought (especially budgies) and then the people who bought them just wanna get rid of them because theyre too much work. poor animals.

They are like raptors

That's Because They Usually Are

From the birds' perspective

The shock I would feel after 😂

Good idea! Wasn’t there a man recently killed by his cassowary?

@@louisegoldsmith1038 there skeleton structure is similar to a raptor

i feel bad for the bird

Hello beautiful 🌹🌷 How are you doing today, I always enjoy what you share here on KZfaq and I will love to be good friends with you, it's my Pleasure if you accept my friendship. Thanks and God bless you.

Still absolutely livid.

The way he snatched that bird out of the air was like a Preying Mantis strike.

Pretty sure he was just panting. Birds pant like dogs with their tongues if they’re overheated, stressed etc. My Ringneck does that when he doesn’t wanna go to his cage for bed and flies around for 10 minutes before he gives up.

You’re correct, it’s also why he’s masturbating on the mans arm. I’ll bet if the woman is doing it her husband is also doing it. They’ve triggered his hormones now he’s all randy and doesn’t know what to do with himself.

Yes, I pet my parrot but on the head. People like this make me mad 😠 they don't do any research before they get a parrot. They are more complex than ppl realize

That’s very true. I remember seeing a show where the owners of a cockatiel had to move, and where they were going, pets were not allowed so they ended up giving the bird to an animal sanctuary. The bird became very depressed, refusing to eat and died of a broken heart. It was one of the saddest shows on animals that I’ve ever watched.

@Muhammad Khan Parrots couple mostly like humans...

@Muhammad Khan you have never seen bird suiciding after its mate died?

@Muhammad Khan I have. Magpies. One died from car accident. The other circled for awhile before it flew really high and free fall to death

@Muhammad Khan I think if they are in a supportive environment to move on with life. I have a pet lorikeet. He stopped eating once his partner died. Started self mutilating and feather plucking. It took a lot of effort for him to get over grief. I'm not saying they die all the time. I'm just saying it happens more often than you think.

Yes sometimes emus can b cheekie

Kinda messed up that they didn't get you another ice cream. I'd buy my boy a new one if that happened even if it was my last dollar .

Emily, we share the same name and I got pissed on by an ostrich during a school presentation by the local zoo when I was 5 or 6. I just turned 40. I feel you sis. Some scars last forever

Pretty cold not to buy you another ice cream cone. I wouldn't do that to my kid.

Lol😭✋🏻😂

Name: duckling Super power: Im a submarine

Ahaa, totally! We rescued a duckling when I was a little girl, she was only a day or two after hatching and the lady wanted to just dump her to the local victorian style zoo with the adult ducks, so of course we took her in. We were worried that the clorine in the pool was not suitable for a tiny creature, so when the time came for Kate (I'm awesome with duck names, I know) to learn to swim we took her outside in a large laundry basket full of water. At first she was afraid of the water, but after a few dips, she went bananas. One moment she was here, splashing about, the next she was speeding towards the pool with me covered in water. Pretty sure my mum still has a photo of me drenched and a tiny yellow dot in the background. She had the time of her life in the pool, and I was really excited every time she zoom underwater, it was impressive, but we never took her out again. We've got hawks here, giant magpies and other amazing wildlife that wants to eat your pets (only this summer a kestrel attacked my budgies, thank goodness I was only a foot away to shoo it away). Finally we gave her to the park she was going to be dumped in, but only after she was an adult and could take care of herself. We'd visit often to see her, it was easy to find her because she had some black markings on her beak and she was the only duck that approached us not to beg for food but cuddles! Oh I miss Katie.

@@specialbudgies4217 yeah the chlorine is bad for ducklings, but the reason pools are primarily bad for them is because they can hop in but can't hop out and eventually get too exhausted to swim anymore. They can also get sucked into the skimmer and get stuck which is very sad because it can be fatal. That's why we always try to catch and release ducklings away from pools and discourage ducks from swimming in pools. That sounds really sweet that you rescued a duckling as a child! I'm happy you got that experience to raise her so she could be a happy duck 😊

@Deeppear And when he added "a good friend of your Mother's", I was dead.

Wouldn't it have been quicker and less stressful for the ducklings to quickly scoop them up in a net instead of stalking them like prey? And why separate the mother duck from her babies instead of putting them all in one carrier? They must have been terrified.

As long as they aren't getting detrimental effects, spoiling is no different than having an extra lump of sugar in your tea or whatever.

@@OGimouse1 the problem is that the owners was sexually frustrating their bird and given him an extremely bad diet. Ekkies are really sensitive to a fatty diet, more that other parrots. They need a low fat diet and all she gave him was carbs and fats. She is not spoiling him with that diet. That bird is not gonna feel very good and probably have many internal problems already that can only get fixed with a healthy diet. I personally experience a lot that when people say they are spoiling their pet, they are feeding them a bad diet or too much and causing the animal a lot of health problems. Spoiling shouldn’t equal bad pet care, but sadly it often does.

Often spoiling is a side affect of a lazy pet owner. It's easy to keep a pet occupied with treats. I have a Lab and of course their well known for their love of food. Mine would prefer a new toy over a treat any time. It's also amazing how dogs that are known for destroying toys are less likely to do so if play with them.

You got me thinking right there. You're right, spoiling is equivalent to killing faster as much as "spoiled" means "damaged" or "rotten". Whether human or other animals, it is never good.

I work at a vet and this one guy feeds his labs McDonald's regularly and they are the most obese labs I have EVER seen. It's really sad and frustrating.

I agree the first time I saw a wild Cassawary at the local zoo thst is! I THOUGHT PREHISTORIC! Giant bird

The seahorses of giant scary birds

Those emus are strong critters.

I thought it said tickle a emu dam my dyslexia but would be funny though 🤣😂🤣😂🤣

@@cuteandfluffypikachu3405 same here bro!!

Moe, Larry and Curly! The Three Stooges 🤣 The guys definitely had their hands full.

Hes probably been petting the birds body and not just their head. Dont pet birds below the neck, thats mate behavior and they'll treat you as such.

@@melmoomlem7321 Also, cover the bird's cage earlier. Too much sun can cause birds hormones to spike. It's called restricting photoperiods. And put them down to hump their perch. Gross.

They are smart enough to find out how to take care of a bird. Rotten old people. There are people out here in the world that foster and adopt birds. More selfish people with no empathy. Are you sure they aren't from the US?

@@jasminaalm I resent that remark because I am a United States citizen.

@@jasminaalm narcissists make sweeping generalizations like your comment

@takesone2knowone there are already books on bird care... And im not that good at English so 😂

@MajorGalah I was able to contain myself until she brought out the bottle of champagne. Chris was good humored as always but I'm sure he had some firm words when the camera was off.

Honestly the owners are mental

That doesn't mean they are unsuitable. It just means they don't know better. Stop cutting the value out of people completely and give room for growth

@@Skyslayerstar read the last paragraph.... I did give room for growth... And honestly after seeing the woman's personality... I dont think there is room for growth... It would be a miracle even if she is constantly following the advice chris gave. Not to mention actually searching up good bird care by herself....

Did you see the cockatiels in those tiny round cages? Jeez

@@specialbudgies4217 I did, really sad. Oh hey! You're budgies look the same as my two :D

@@anxqel Awesome! Since then I've adopted a third one, because the breeder couldn't handle his injury, so now there's three. Dawn, the yellowish one is actually an opaline greywing, Iris of course is the wild variation and our newest addition, Scrooge McFluff, is a lutino half English boy. What about your flock, what are their names?

@@specialbudgies4217 Aww I totally wish I could get a third. My two little munchkins are called Sunny and Pickles(Real original I know). Sunny is a Latino variation and I don't know much about Pickles, I think he's just your average green, they're English Budgies, so the larger angry looking kind but they're still pretty young so they aren't angry yet

Yeah, you need to know what you're doing if you're going to have birds. They are a HUGE responsibility. I know enough to know I can't manage that.

😂

That’s because it’s the birds food and the children aren’t smart enough to clue into it

@@kathrynblair8845 I imagine the bread was for the birds, but they kept calling it lunch over and over, making sure they had something for them to "take"

I don’t think the bird’s staging anything tho

Lmao! I was thinking, what the Hell, are you only allowed to eat sandwiches in the park there? 😁

Birds & reptiles are cousins :)

The also have mammals, such as Tasmanian devils

I love my Quaker parrot even though he doesn't :)

Although birds are cousins, my brain instantly went - they do keep saying reptile right? haha

@@Somedude20282 birds are reptiles doe

Probably cause they are going extinct so they take the chance whenever.

Thats not really how i interpreted it.. They had waited for her to become reproductively ready, they had her for 5 years. Also there is only like 1000 of the species left. Of course they want to let them breed if possible.

I love that you Australians are so conscious animals wellbeing & appreciate them & the environment. I wish more countries would adopt your attitude about nature & animals. Australia was used as a "penal colony" by the English crown yet I feel that citizens there have better values in certain areas vs the royals who decided to drop off the British citizens in an unknown & vast wilderness. Bravo to you & the other Aussies for appreciating the flora & fauna of your country.

Bravo Australia! The care & compassion you feel for the animals there is truly amazing.

It was adorable 🥰

If people have birds they need to be prepared for bird poo. It isn't fair to stop a bird having time out of the cage just because they poo somewhere else.

@@GeorgiaGeorgette being a farmer grandmother was familiar with poo, just not in her house. That little canary was very smart and knew the rules.

I love your story of your dear sweet Grandmother and her precious canary. Bath day was a fun time and I know that they all enjoyed it very much.

Me too!

Yes me too but it's was just the opposite, my canaries had a little grandmother!

I know, right!? All I could think of was green eggs and ham by doctor Seuss🤣

That goes for any animal. People really need to know what a makes a pet happy, and be villing to provide that before getting said pet!

Pets have psychological needs. Parrots need lots of attention. The parrot knows Harry doesn’t like him. He’s competing with Harry for Christine’s attention. Only one male in this house!

Are you a vet or something? All people have to do is research. Like god damn it

@@allyxx7849 Research God?

@@mariekatherine5238 LOL no I should have worded that better Lamo.

He should have wrapped the bird immediately and not let it get that stressed to begin with.

@@GeorgiaGeorgette Yes. We worked with all sorts of birds at a rescue/rehab center (lots of raptors), a small animal vet, and a wild animal hospital. First thing is a towel put slowly over their face/head (they don't move at all.) Then a gloved hand to hold the feet and it went smooth as silk. You could easily tip them on their backs for radiographs. Domestic bird, let it walk to a corner, gently but quickly "toss" a light towel on top of it. No movement from the bird.

Yeah, it’s sad to see cause she obviously loves him but she’s committing just about every sin in the parrot keeping book and it’s obviously showing in the poor little guy.

I think all pet owners should be licensed so you can be more certain they will treat their pets correctly

Animals get harmed by ignorant people. Sad but true.

@@allaselboskar5767 Animals that require hard care, be it because of danger from the animal or for the animal, are already often regulated around the world and require licensing. That doesn't stop people from being abusive. You just make another crime that warants a fine, instead of enforcing actual crack downs in case of bad care. I don't have a license but any pet I've had has had regular appointments with a specialised vet, the first of which is to finetune husbandry after long periods of thinking and researching the animal before even getting it. A gigantic amount of petshops have licenses and still mistreat animals on an industrial scale. Good treatment of pets is about research and listening to a vet, not getting a paper from a 10 hour class.

Most people who get pets are clueless. You can't just point out bird owners... how many dog owners know Aconitum. Amaryllis bulbs. Asparagus fern. Azalea. Bluebells. Cyclamen. Daffodil bulbs. Day lilies. To name a few, are plants that can harm your dogs?

@@H1GH.FL1Y3R yeah but information for other animals is available everywhere with birds its much harder. the thing is even the breeders cant give good informations about the birds .. some do just a few. the breeders should be more active on this plus more information on the pets in general

Hahaha I thought the same thing.

He did

@@alexlow5192 oh, I'm so glad. Usually birds that have plucked to such a degree (that patch on his back was fully bald!!) don't get their feathers back if they've damaged the follicles. I'm glad he got a bit better, though I sincerely hope they've stopped sexually arousing their bird and have done research and implemented a much healthier diet for an eclectus..

Same for anxiety

😂😂I need to get that for myself and my dog 😂

My dog and I were on the same anxiety meds once.

Hey me too lol. I legit didn't know that animals could take that lol

The Great Emu War 2.0

Ikr! I was like: I can spend 5 minutes on the internet and stumble across a bird attempting to shag it's owner, perch, or favourite toy. Hell, I have several friends with over attached budgies/lorikeets XD

I've seen it with people I know who have birds. Not even the internet. It's really common and I'm not a vet.

Yeah, that had me really scratching my head, I almost wish I never watched this video because the opening scene pissed me off so badly. Is the man not an avian vet, just a regular vet?

@@pandap4ntz Most birds are seen as "exotics" & are treated by a specialist and not general vets. Giving him anxiety meds won't do anything when she's still touching him, giving him seed which is high in fats & promotes breeding behavioir, and is territorial. Meds may help when she's left the house, but he'll still have issues. And I ain't even a vet.

I know, I was amazed by the vets ignorance, hormonal Eccles are pretty common, much like it’s treatment / management, and it’s NOT straight to Prozac.... I guess this helps me to appreciate there’s a bloody good a reason I’m $200 poorer for the booking fee alone, whenever I take my eccy to see his knowledgeable, experienced, reliable (and really expensive!!!)
