Definitely adorable and I’m not saying they don’t have a bond. Please be careful with mixing big and little birds. Big bird can do some harm

Is that the bird from Rio?
thewhifflingtit
No, that was a bare-eyed cockatoo, this looks like a moluccan cockatoo. Similar, but different.

Cockatoos always seem to have little colourful friends follow them around. Lots of character

My African Grey (Alex) and Sun Conure (Mango) came from the same breeder and have been inseparable from the moment they were introduced
MagpieNI
Is Alex named after Irene Pepperberg's bird? Or is that just a coincidence?
ohiohobbyzooadventures
He is! We wanted to honour his legacy. His full name is Alexander the Grey (like Alexander the Great but he's an African Grey so yeah puns)
ohiohobbyzooadventures
They cuddle together, groom eachother, talk to eachother, etc. Mango only says the words "love you," and only to my grandmother and Alex.
ohiohobbyzooadventures
If Mango is out of Alex's sight, he calls for her "Mango, where are you baby?" and imitates her call an make kissy noises. It's so cute <3
ohiohobbyzooadventures
They're willed to never be separated as long as both are living, and when I eventually die and Alex outlives me, he goes to my cousin.

Would you consider making a post about your birds?
ohiohobbyzooadventures
I keep promising to make posts and then I forget! But I have an Instagram by the same name they're on.
Schtubby
Aww they're holding hands.. feet?
Wavetrap
Thank you.... I didn't notice.
mmarla
correct term is feetsies
Schtubby
Ahh my mistake, I don't grammar well :)

Talons?
Brant04
Nah, they're just called feet, talons are for birds of prey

I've been a bird owner for 5 years and didn't realize until now I'd been using the wrong term. You're right!

This made me realise what a sad, miserable life any bird has sitting on it's own in a cage for it's whole life
CoolGuyCoolDude
That's why one should let them out of their cage every once in a while. My bird loves flying around in our living room.
ifyouthinkthatswierdwellletmetellyouimfrombosnia
we have a little budgie that flew in and stuck around since. we've had him for a fwe years.loves eating pork, lamb, cheese. Flies wherever.

I am so obsessed with my sun conure. It makes me ugly cry to think about birds living lonely lived.
archygreen
Green cheek conure owner here, and I feel the same! Mine has 2 cats and 2 dog buddies to hang with when I'm not home.
Rifneno
As someone obsessed with parrots, my heart is forever breaking by assholes who think these wonderful critters are decorations.
deadmeat703
My aunt had a great grey who she would keep outside in her driveway/porch. She would throw a blanket over its cage and then go to work.
RaynWisp
My neighbor had a parrot, he treated it like it was a dog, its best friend was a 10 year old German Shepherd who it rode like a horse.
JesseSlayer
The dog rode the parrot?
RaynWisp
He tried when he was a puppy. Dog had a huge scar on his ear from that one...
IAlwaysUpvoteBirdies
I have a conure and its out of the cage and with me all day. I only ever put in the cage at night or whwn I'm cooking/cleaning.
Rifneno
1-I've got an umbrella cockatoo. She pretty much only gets locked in her cage as a punishment. Like a child being sent to their room. But
Rifneno
3-like a kid's room. A place she can feel is her own, and a place she feels safe.
Rifneno
2-it's an $800 behemoth, so it's nice and roomy. Best advice I got about cages, besides the obvious "go as big as possible" is to make it
McFluffySundae
We always let our birds out of the cage every day to fly around the room. The vet said we had the most muscular birds she ever saw.
rubbutts
Serious question, what do you do about all the pooping?
lordcinnabonhelix
That is awesome. I have a little budgie and I do the same thing. He loves flying from curtain to curtain in the living room
PrincessWasabi
You should bird proof the house and let him roam all day
McFluffySundae
I don't have birds anymore but they were out all day and only went in the cages at night while everyone slept
thirdcoast
Real question: What did you do about them pooping/peeing around the house? What would stop them from pooping into a soup you just made?
McFluffySundae
We didn't let them around us when we were eating. They only flew around two rooms, that's all they were comfy with. They mostly pooped 1/2
tzxAzrael
training. give them a place to poop, reward them for using it, and they catch on really fast.
quattroformaggix4
Training. Also for the interim, they sell cute little bird suits with removable nappy squares at the bottom.
