Owning a Parrot is like cleaning up after a party you didn't attend.

Max has a simple philosophy, I make a mess to keep myself busy, Daddy cleans my mess to keep him busy.

It’s amazing how smart these birds really are. One of my friends adopted a very badly abused Cockatoo. The previous owner had all their animals taken from them. With love and patience and pet therapy ( yeah I didn’t even know that was a thing). Now he loves to snuggle and asks to be preened. He says “ scratcha scratcha?” His latest trick is to go into the kitchen sink. My friend just redid her kitchen and got one of those faucets that turns on when you put your hand under it. So he gives himself showers when he wants. He’s a handful but completely lovable. He still curses like a drunken sailor and freaks out if her boys rough house in front of him. ( The home he came from had a lot of physical violence that he witnessed). But he is just blossoming in their home. Love heals.

Wising you many years of joy with Max. He's a treasure beyond price.

"Hello" "Hello" "Hello" "I wasn't talking to you"

I Think Max knows hes been bad. So he acts cute to get out of trouble.

You can tell Max is a happy bird because he doesn’t pluck his feathers. Love the way he chats I don’t understand him but it’s funny to here him. 🥰

3:22 "Sir, I am fluent in six million forms of communication. This signal is not used by the Alliance. It could be an Imperial code."

Would max rotate the other direction if he were on the southern hemisphere?

Its crazy how much max's voice can vary in pitch and how many sounds he can do.

I love Max so much. I love when he gets excited and flaps his wings and mumbles. Such a sweet little boy.

Makes a mess “Casually walks out like nothing happens”

Who can get mad at such an cute lil birdie like Max? Let alone stay mad at him when he say hiiiiiiii in his own special way. Have great rest of your weekend and new week ahead.

You are such a good dad to Max. I'm positive if he could tell you thanks he would say thank you for how you have rescued him and saved him and enriched his life beyond how he ever could have hoped. You are an excellent birdie father. I hope you're very proud of yourself. I'm pretty sure everybody who watches your channel is very proud of you. I'm pretty sure Max is proud of you. In his own way. Hahaha

Max knows he made a big mess..and is using all his cuteness to distract Dan...

Haha who made the mess? Immediately twirls around “Hiiiiii” 😁 👀

“See, what had happened was I was just using the bathroom, see, and these wood things fell down and see, hello.”

I know this was 2 years ago but I melted when I saw max go to Dan and put his head against his leg. 🥰

I have so much respect for exotic bird keepers, such a hard job to do right. I know I couldn't do it.

"Hi!" "Who made the mess?" "Hi!"

Max worked hard on this mess and is very proud of his effort. He seems so happy! He wants to share it with everyone!

This video is almost tear jerking. This beautiful, emotionally sensitive creature is almost just like a human child (kudos to you for training this amazing bird- half his personality must be because of you!) Max is so sorry for the mess he made (I can see that he knows he’s in trouble when you use a “Maaax” you’re in trouble-) voice and his attitude completely changes. He knows...) and brings you that piece of wood. I think it’s amazing that for all that chatter, in that moment he’s completely silent... trusting you to understand him and his emotional dynamic completely. Incredible bond with you and your bird, a complete & moving inspiration. Just goes to show how amazing these creatures can be when given a whole lot of human love & attention. 👍👍👍😄❤️

“Oh what happened here?” “I didn’t make that mess!” How sassy. He’s so proud of what he did too

I love how he has this cute little "Hi!" but also does a deeper sounding "Hello" as well.

He knows he's guilty but he does not care. 😂

This bird looks drunk on happiness... This is my "mental state" retirement goal! Thank you Max!!!!

It's not a mess it's performance art!

Max would be a great interior designer, I love the abstract look of the mess on the floor.

Stumbled into this site by accident last week and now I'm hooked! What a daily delight!

I had no idea they were this smart. It's easy to see love one another. Thank you for putting a smile on my face. You guys are lucky to have one another. Love watching him.

I feel like having one of these birds turns your house into some kind of bizarre circus of weird noises and destruction

Just act really really cute and all is forgiven his low register hello is. Precious!!!!!

I heard him say "wood", "do you want to play", and his voice is getting deeper... must be his teenage years.

Max is my spirit animal. Stalling, acting crazy when questioned on the mess lol

I hadn’t seen this video before. It’s my gift for today! Thank you Max and Dan!

This is a convincing argument both for and against getting a pet bird. That's a huge mess, but it was made so adorably that I'd clean it up just to see him make a new one.

It looks that his lower voice a copy of Dan's voice is. It sounds nearly the same.

Max has a peaceful soul.

Max has such dynamic character traits. He's an amazing birdie boy

Max you don’t have to explain anything! Just tell daddy to clean it up like the peasant he is LOL 😂 love you guys 😍💖

Max is very happy of his LITTLE mess he made

I love seeing Max's reactions and antics.

He is pleased with himself. And enjoyed every moment of it. Thank you very much

Looks like a hurricane hit with emergency sirens to follow. Max has been very busy.

Max!! What a great MESS you’ve made for your daddy! Dan, you must be soooo very proud of your little boy and his mess making abilities. He’s got it down to perfection.

Max is so beutifull! I love watching him do his thing. Thank you for sharing him with us. We love him very much!!

These birds are for a special sort of person. Living with a cockatoo is much like having an infant, if the infant could reach anywhere and anything in the house, while equipped with a set of bolt cutters or a demolition hammer. I love Max!

And my mood has just been lifted thanks to this gorgeous bird Max! ❤️❤️❤️

I love how Max knocks on things when says "Hi!".

My heart melted! How adorable and funny 😃😍 this is too cute

Max needs his own reality show 😆

"Daddy, i didnt do it, it was my alternate personality" 😂

@0:58 he did a perfect impression of your hello Dan omg !

You and Max make a great pair. The love you have for each other is plain to see. I'm so glad you care for Max the way you do

He is precious!! I love these birds. They are so full of personality and affection.

I love the Max U-turn 😂

I think there's something wrong with your dog

You can not help getting in a smiley mood, watching & listening to Max & Daddy Dan, 💕🤗

I love this bird...solo smart and the way he puts his head sideways is beyond cute! What a guy! MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Max is very pleased with himself.

I said to my family you have to subscribe to Max, he is the most addictive little guy in feathers you could ever meet. He is smart, funny, adorable and most of all extremely relaxing to watch. His owner Dan is also amazing, he brings the very best out in little Max and they are a duo made in heaven.

3:03 Dan: "I'm gonna get you more wood tomorrow. You chewed it all up." Max: "Mu ha ha."

I realized while watching the video with Max, walking up and back into the bathroom, that I had a big smile on my face! Maybe, it’s how he moves his head to turn, or his funny scrawny pidgeon-toed feet, but I found myself wanting to laugh out loud. Also, the matter-of-fact way you speak to him, is really a funny way to show that you, too, can be funny! I wish that birds were easier to hug‼️‼️

Looks like Max had a party and didn't invite Dan... Hii!! It's all good you'll be back in the toothpick business tomorrow Max 😎

Is that a crime scene!?😁

Love the sounds, Max is the sweetest and prettiest bird ever. ❤️

oh my, this is when I met Mr. Max, he is just adorable!!!!!! The way he talks, his low tones , all of his words are great!!!!! Glad to meet you Mr. Max!!!!!!xoxo

Nothing like a funny Max video to start off my birthday today

When Dan said "Hello" to Max at 4:17 And then Max said "Hello" back to Dan at 4:19 , it made me laugh like crazy!!! Max was walking with his head upside down as he was saying" Hello" back!! I was dying!!!!

I just love it when says Hi! So cute. He is a busy little guy.

1:42 "I saved you some"

Love how Max walks around with his head sideways. I feel like doing that sometimes.

Could never get mad at you Max - even if you chewed up my whole house - you’re just too darn cute ❤️

Max cracks me up! I would love a cockatoo but with four dogs and limited time, I just watch Max to get my fix. He’s so lucky to have you!

He explained it perfectly. I understood all of it. "*cute birb noise*" - Max 2018

He’s very proud of his work. He’s a happy fellow.

Max does not need to explain anything he does.

Max really put on a show of his own tonight. He sure can be extra cute when he wants to. Lol! He’s a good companion to have. You won’t get bored...ever.

Max has such good parents to love and enrich him even though he just inconvenienced them. I know a lot of people who would be mad and try to punish the bird, rather than knowing this stuff is their natural behaviors.

At least it was a wood mess. 😊 He looks very proud of his professional construction work. 👍🏼

OMG... that 'impish' little guy was very busy. What a mess!!! I absolutely love that deep voice Mr. Max uses when he's having a conversation with you. I wish I could hug and kiss him. 😘😚

At first I couldn’t imagine having a bird as a pet until I fell in love with someone with 3 Cockatiels. They are so sweet and entertaining.

I love amazing pets with wonderful, patient pet owners! Happy New Year's to Max and family.

Max's little tilt of his head and side-eye. That's a nice way to start my day. I love how you run. Dare I say pigeon toed. Is that an insult? I don't mean to insult you Max. Love you Max and Hiiii! 👍😁🤣😍💜

5 minutes of fun and laughter! Lovely start of my Sunday afternoon 😍♥️ Thank you!

Awwwe..... Max brought you your own wood to split! He’s sharing! So adorable !😊 Thanks for sharing.

Haha! "Do you have to do that?" Yes. I'm sure he does. He's so silly, I love it. 🥰

Maximus said the noise is definitely a necessity, as much as the turn and "Hi!"

The people at Lowe's must think you're a very busy builder with all the wood purchases

0:34 "I've been trying it round here." Are you sure? "I'll play this like a real singer!"

Your patience and love for Mr. Max appear to be INFINITE - I guess that's why he's such a happy Guy. Plus he's right out there, on the ragged edge of sanity ...

He says, "love me, dad."

Max is such a cutie pie! :D I love the way he looks at Daddy, like he wants him to leave, so he can get back to his mischief making! LOL ;D Love the close-ups of Max, with his sweet little birdy eyes and head tilt! ;D

Omg he's so cute lolol I love his random head tilts 😂😂

I love watching you and Max! You guys were made for each other! Take care, Mama Manx

Modern Art. He seems very proud of his work

Morning Max and Dan! 🌝Hope you're having a good Sunday morning & the rest of the day too!!! 🌞💕

What a pretty yard.Thank you ,Dan for sharing your video with us..

OMG I love this bird of yours!! He makes me smile with every video. Thank you for sharing your videos.
