“How can you have such affection for a bird?” Um, how could you not?

When he shot him and he fell upside that was absolutely adorable.

That "hello" when he saw the tattoo just made me so happy.

60-70 year life span?! What a dream!! I wish my cats could live that long 😢

I love when he says “Hello.” to a tattoo of himself. Beau is adorable & i wish him nothing but happiness. 🥺❤️

Him: scans his bird Scanner: priceless

"I don't own him. He owns me." Every good fur/feather parent gets that line. 😂💙

What’s not to get? One look at the two of you together and you’re soulmates. May be different species, but you were definitely meant to be together. It’s truly a beautiful bond.

This man needs better friends who understand animals

“....he fulfilled something I didn’t know I needed.” Boy...it’s a wonderful thing when that happens.

Congratulations on such a healthy bird with its feathers and not stressed out and sick. It is beautiful.

“How could you have such affection towards a bird?” That broke me. A week ago one of my baby chicks passed, and today just a few minutes ago another one passed away. I loved them dearly.

I teared up when the bird sayed " i love this " bless animals for their gentle soul..

This man has such a big heart and this bird has such a big personality

You can see the love in both of their eyes! He loves his new Daddy for sure! Thank God they found each other.

This made me think of my sweet feisty chicken Twinkle, I only had her for six years before a fox unfortunately killed her, but she was an amazing bird! Twinkle was best friends with my cat, I still have photos of the two of them cuddling. We had two kittens and a goat grow up with her and learned to respect her even when they became bigger than her, she’d ride around on the goat’s back, it was so cute. She was a free bird, she’d sleep in trees or on the roof of our car, we could never keeps her in the pen we had, she’d always find a way to escape. She also used to love riding on my shoulders and I’d take her into town with me on walks. I miss her every day.

So we just gonna ignore the fact this cutie just said, "I love this" in a Home Depot? Edit: spelling

Dad: doesn't want parrot Family: Gets parrot anyway Dad and Parrot:

We have a guy who brings his Cockatoo to Home Depot here in Loveland, CO. So cute. 🕊️

If your friends dont get how you can ❤ your bird so much, than you need new friends. 😂

Sir, don't waste your time explaining your relationship to other people. Just enjoy your special relationship with your bird and always do right by him. However, please be super aware there are always raptors out there and they can swoop down and attack before you can react. Many have lost their precious loved ones in this manner.

Can we all appreciate that Home Depot let this man in with his winged relative. Very cool Home Depot.

"no matter if your pet is a dog , your pet can always be your dog"

Cockatoos are just so beautiful. Just Imagine a bird waddling into a store, so cute.

This is why even most ruthless pirates loved parrots.

He’s not just a bird, he’s a friend . People who don’t understand it, have never had that special connection with a pet . I’m a huge believer in the pet picking it’s human-it’s wonderful to see

Look how adorable he is. How can you not fall in love. They are lifelong companions for sure

The fact that he can take him anywhere with absolutely no fear of him flying away or getting lost really shows how special and real this relationship is!

The way he said “hello?” To the tattoo 🥺🥺🥺

Owner is a cool person, the bird just love him100%, it's so lucky that they found each other and can stay together forever

Animals never betray you. Their love is pure, simple and unconditional.

I never realized a bird who can still fly would not necissarily fly away if taken outdoors. I'm so glad you haven't clipped his wings. What a very special bird ❤❤

You're truly blessed to have this special bond, but most importantly, parrots live for such a long time. I wish I had more time with the animals I had my bonds with

Large birds are one of the smartest pets you will ever own, and the express more affection than any other pet ever could

He isn’t “just a bird”! I live in Australia with these, wild. And, they’re incredibly intelligent. They know if you’re a good person or not.

My neighbor passed away 2 year's ago none of his family wanted his African gray. So my wife brought him home until we found him a new home. But as soon as he met our dog, we knew he already found his new home. They do everything together.

I walked into a rescue place that had a store attached to it that helped raise money for the rescue. They had dogs, cats and birds. Anyway, I went in to buy Christmas gifts for my dogs and they had several birds sitting out in the shop on stands. I’d never looked twice at birds before but I came face to face with a 9 month old umbrella cockatoo. We kind of looked at each other for a minute then I reached out to give him a scratch and he leaped onto my arm. We had another staring moment and then he buried his head under my chin and lay flat on my chest. I tried to put him on his perch but he wouldn’t go. The shop keeper said normally he didn’t let anyone near him. It was weird this instant connection we had. The next thing I knew I was walking out of the shop with a cockatoo, all the required accoutrements and several books on cockatoos, their personalities and the care they required. That was 27 years ago and we still adore each other. I never did pick up anything for my dogs that day either. I have also rescued several other cockatoos as well since then. They are amazing birds.

"I don´t own him. He owns me." (1:23) - That´s it. I can absolutly understand this relationship. 🙂 All the love for you!

I loved the fact that he didn't cage Beau. People cage birds because they think that if the birds are free then they will fly away and will never come back again. But the truth is that, if you love someone and if that creature loves you, then he/she will come back to you, no matter what. You don't need a cage, you just need to have a kind, compassionate and loving heart.

The way he looks at the tattoo of himself and says "Hello" oh my god

Love seeing videos of people with birds! It’s a lifelong commitment. A lot of people don’t understand how long these birds live for. If in a healthy environment they can live 60 years no problem. It’s a big commitment due not only to the length of time but the amount of social interaction that the birds require. In the wild the live in fairly large, communal gatherings. They have social interactions much the same as humans. My grandfather had African grey until time he died. He spent a lot of the last 2 years of his life finding a suitable home for Shakespeare… the parrot.

People who have never owned a bird are sadly unaware of the PURE LOVE AND AFFECTION that a bird can feel for it's favorite human. I was blessed to be loved by an adorable Cockatiel that I still miss to this day.

I loved it when he was so thrilled to be at Home Depot and said "I love this!" It's obvious you make each other happy.

1:16 “how could you have such affection towards a bird?” Because it’s easy to fall in love with lovable things..? Birds are adorable!

Hearing Beau say "Hello." around 2:42 is so indescribably cute, it literally leaves me speechless & makes me laugh, respectively. Beau is cute, too!...

There’s something to pure about birds, I always feel at peace around them. I feed an array of wild birds everyday, sustaining them throughout winter, and over time I made friends with a crow. He visits me 3 or 4 times a day and i give him some yummy food. He watches over me from the sky when I’m gardening and scares away the greedy pigeons. But he lets the smaller birds come and go as they please. I call him Ebenezer, and he has become really special to me. There’s so much beauty in nature, you just have to stop for a minute and look.

Forget Disney princesses, this dude’s a fully fledge Disney King. He got the girl, and the birb.

Guy - "He's fulfilled something I didn't know I needed" companionship and love. Wife looks at him - ..............................

That bird has a SOUL... you can see it in the eyes and almost feel it.

I'm crying 😭😭😭 That bird is so cuteeeee😭❣️❣️ I also have a parrot and she is also affectionate towards me.. but not this much...she just comes and sleep in between my arms whenever she gets the chance ❤️ I love birds.

one of my neighbors has a bird like this. The bird would just sit on the porch talking to me. While i was on my porch from across. He actually speaked, and you could understand him. Like our first meet he was like. “hi, what’s ur name?” in his cute bird voice

This bird has more personality than some humans

Everyone should strive to have a companion like this

1:48 it’s so funny and cute how birds walk! It looks like he’s strutting his stuff :D

Looks like this man is equally as obsessed with his bird as the bird is with him

This reminds me of my husband and our male Cockatiel Rio. My husband was not keen on me getting a bird but I had always wanted a cockatiel. At 1st he would just talk to him & pet him but never wanted to hold him. Fast forward a year later those 2 are best buddies. Rio picked him and those two have a very strong bond. Rio says several phrases, whistles so many tunes & makes certain noises like a laugh, calling the birds, woofs as in a dog woof & many more! Now we have 3 and we adore each one. Birds are so such great wonderful pets. ❤️🦜

Animals do have intelligence, feelings, and personalities. Humans continue to underestimate them. They don't wreak havoc in the world, but humans do.

All animals should b respected and adored

I have an oranged wing amazon 43 yrs old. He is my buddy. Just got diagnosed with a cateract in his left eye, which left him blind. He is adjusting. Still walks & flies around the house.❤

My heart absolutely melted when Beau said “I love this” 😍😍

I love that he can actually fly but he decides to just walk around 😂

"i don't own him, he owns me" now now every pet owner can relate to that, including me!

Beau was ready to love again as he got it.

I love their relationship. I love this bird!

Dogs & Parrots are highly social animals like humans, you can develop very strong relationships with them.

Why did the parrot leave Home Depot feeling sad? He didn't have enough money to make his perches.

Birds have so much Personality and I love them for that

Everyday that bird is living his absolute best life!!!! Love it

Remind me of an old saying: "You can have different pets in your lifetime, but they only have you in their's" English not my first language so sorry hope the sentence make sense 🥰

So I’m guessing his wife is just like a third wheel in the relationship now?

I love this so glad hes a rescue and not trafficked. You gave him a real life and real love

If you're going to have one of these incredibly intelligent birds, you have to give them this level of freedom and attention. Breaks my heart how many get stuck in cages and abused because they're miserable and noisy. God bless this man for doing it right!

“How can you have such affection towards a bird?” Why have so much affection towards random people? A lot are A-holes!

I teared up when he was sitting on the cart and said “I love this” so awesome this man is giving this bird the love and life he deserves!!

Some of the best love stories do NOT always involve another human being..I'm so glad you found each other!!! Living your best life ❤️ together!! What a great story!! Blessings to you and the whole fam!❤😊

What are they talking about..he's so sweet. I love him!

Them: "How can you have such affection for a bird!?" Me: "Because he's awesome!"

Sitting on the cart "I love this" God, how sweet.

Cockatoos are so smart and such emotional creatures, and they live just as long as humans if taken care of so they are truly companions for your whole life.

This man and bird are living the kind of life that God intended from the beginning in Eden. I love that there are still touches of heaven like this

If I had a friend like him, i would be at his door every weekend

Yes, many years ago my friend's father passed away and my friend inherited his cockatoo, Rocky. His father got Rocky in 1958 and he is still going strong. These really are life long companions so please take this into consideration before making the commitment. Rocky was very lucky my friend loves him just as much as his father did, but unfortunately the sad truth is many are abandoned after their owners pass away.

What a joy to watch. My heart was bursting the entire time. I understand your love for your beautiful, smart, clowny friend. I am sitting here, still smiling. Thank you for sharing your very special little friend with us. I love him!!!

😃It’s like having a Toddler in a Feather Suit😂👍❤️

"I don't view him as pet anymore. I view him as family extension" That is all you need to know about a person. When they give you such an answer, that person is a keeper. Honestly

Beau has more personality than a lot of people. L😂L!

I recently saw cockatoos in the wild in Australia. I would love to have one; it’s always fun to me to see birds respond to humans, and in such cute , intelligent ways.

I feel deeply for these birds for when they will have to bond to another owner as they can outlive humans.

Parrots are such special birds. A lot of people don’t realize how much care and attention they require just to physically function. It very much takes a relationship like this one for a bird like a macaw or a cockatoo to live a long and healthy life. You essentially are taking up the role of a lifelong companion that this bird would form in the wild. They don’t do well with the long separation that usually happens because of work. They take far more effort to keep her happy and healthy than a dog or cat. Thus, it really lifts my heart when I see things like this. This is a relationship I know it’s going to continue to be happy and healthy for as long as both live. However, many birds don’t get to have this sort of special relationship, and suffer negative health repercussions despite all the physical needs that are met. I encourage anyone who is thinking of getting a parrot to call a bird sanctuary first and foremost, and really get into the nitty-gritty of what to expect with life with a parrot. They should be considered extremely exotic and specialized pets. Unfortunately due to their popularity in regular pet stores many people believe they’re making the same kind of commitment they do with a dog, cat or even an easier animal such as a hamster or guinea pig. Some smaller parrots like parakeets make excellent beginner bird pets and should always be considered over larger more beautiful birds such as macaws, African grays, and cockatoos. Adopting or purchasing one of these larger parrots should be considered analogous to adopting a small child that will never grow up and might outlive you depending on how old you are when you get it. Sorry for the lecture on what is a beautiful relationship video, but I felt it needed to be said.

I love how he's pretending to fly when he's skateboarding even though he can already fly.

This is a bond made of magic.

There is nothing in this world more full filling than that special connection to any pet that never judges you and is always there for you I'm thrilled you two found one another

2:10 A 60-70+ year lifespan. If you adopted one when you were a child and you lived to be like 80, it would still be alive. Big commitment!!!

I remember when my bird died I cried like a baby and didn't go to work for 3 days. I loved him so much

You both have a lifelong friend that loves unconditionally.

I loved it when Beau said “I love it” in the Home Depot 😍

Birds have more personality than most of my coworkers.

When he said he was 15 my heart sunk then he said he had 50 or 60 more years and my heart sunk for the bird. Let them both live forever 😭

Two happy beings who found each other. What could be better? and LOL--every person bonded to a bird knows who owns whom.

My Sister had a Cockatoo and he was just in love with me. I lived across the street from her and the second he would see me outside he would start screaming out the window. She would call me and ask to come over to say hello because he wouldn't stop yelling. When I would walk in he would make his way and open his door and tell me to " Come here", he would then climb on my arm and start asking " How are you?" he would say things like... "Whatcha do'in....Do you love milk( His name was Milk), he would tell me he loved me, whistle at me, just the most loving bird ever. well, I had to move and he became depressed, he began rocking while looking out the window so she had to move his spot. He would call my name over and over so she would replay a voice recording I left her on her voicemail so he could hear me calling his name. That sweet bird got a toenail infection that gave him a hard time on the stoop. During the operation, he passed. Such a loving bird, I do understand the affection he has for this Bird, I loved Milk too!
