‘Ridiculously Cute' Cockatoo Races Outside To Welcome Dad in Sweet Video
'Ridiculously Cute' Cockatoo Races Outside To Welcome Dad in Sweet Video originally appeared on Parade Pets. At my house, returning home from work or errands always comes with the greatest surprise. Flinging the door open, I'm always greeted by the most excited hype squad who cheers (barks), jumps, and sometimes pees a little(!), by my presence. I deserve none of that for just running to the gas station for a few minutes, and yet, that's what I get! I'm sure other dog parents agree — there's nothing like a pup's "welcome home." Compared to the nonchalant, vague acknowledgment of my existence from my cats, I thought dog greetings couldn't be topped. But then one extremely devoted Cockatoo said, "Hold my beer." Charlie Junior's love for his dad is such a beautiful gift, but it makes me wish my pets would do more of this stalker-level obsession! The waiting by the window, the countdown once he sees the car pull in, the absolute thrill of seeing Dad is unmatched. I wouldn't want to be the spare parent in this house (sorry, Mom)! Charlie and Dad's relationship is crazy strong. They're beyond bestie level and more like soulmate status. Their bond is something more than 192k TikTok fans can't get enough of, and this clip of Charlie waiting for Dad's 6 p.m. return is exactly why! As one person pointed out to Mom, "The way he immediately turns on you when he knows Dad will be home soon," and yeah, that has to sting! "I can't cope with the cuteness," another added."The absolute audacity that Dad has to work. He should be at home treating me like the totality that I am," another correct person joked. I'm sure if Charlie could say more than his vocabulary allows, he'd say as much! When Dad's home and the two boys are chillin', they love doing everything together. It doesn't even matter if Dad's napping, because Charlie's not going anywhere. The entertaining Cockatoo's favorite one-on-one time is when Dad sings so he can perform his VIP dance... and it's really that cute! I could seriously watch these two all day. It doesn't matter if it's Charlie waiting by the window for his number one guy or they're hanging out, singing and dancing — I'm here for all of it! 🐶🐾🐾 'Ridiculously Cute' Cockatoo Races Outside To Welcome Dad in Sweet Video first appeared on Parade Pets on Jul 13, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade Pets on Jul 13, 2025, where it first appeared.

Cockatoo's Attempt To Keep Mom and Dad Apart Is True Toddler Life
Cockatoo's Attempt To Keep Mom and Dad Apart Is True Toddler Life originally appeared on Parade Pets. As a bird mom myself, I can tell you that birds are all basically just strange, feathered toddlers. I only have little Budgies, and they're annoying enough as it is (said with love). Bigger, crazier birds? I can't even imagine actually having one, though I love to watch other people try. Recently, one cute Cockatoo decided that he actually wants to make sure mom and dad are never allowed near each other. His reason for that seems to be that, as long as they're apart, their main focus is going to be him: Charlie Junior the Cockatoo is so dramatic. It's one of the things I love most about him: he's one of the most dramatic birds around. He is fully committed to being the baby, and he's not going to let anything stand in his way. It's hilarious. His favorite parent, by the way, is his dad. He doesn't even try to hide it, even though it offends his mama deeply! His dad didn't even want to get him at first: mom kind of had to force it! He's happy now, and he adores Charlie, but you'd think the bird might show mom some love! He does not care, and Cockatoos do not care if they hurt your feelings, either. In fact, if you teach them mean words, they will literally insult you for fun. Choosing your words carefully around a Cockatoo (or any mimicking bird) is essential, otherwise they could end up with quite a... Colorful tend to have a favorite human, that's just how life goes. There are steps you can take to try to help your chances of being your pet's favorite, like: Feeding them. Being the person who sleeps with/puts them to bed. Sneaking them treats and toys. However, there's sometimes just nothing you can do to prevent them from "imprinting" on someone else. At least they're bonding with someone, right? Even if that someone was the person apprehensive about getting the bird in the first place!
