Would love to see Doobie dance to Bruno Mars's, "Uptown Funk" song. With his yellow head feathers at attention and his natural swag, oh, yeah, Doobie be the GOAT to that tune. Move over Bruno.
My sulphur crested came plugged. There was no single feather on his wings. The chest was completely naked. The former owner clipped The flight feathers. He moved in the 31.05.2023. After some weeks, The chest startet closing with feathers and the wing feathers came back. By september He already looked beautiful. He trained his wings, hanging upside down from his swing. And now he can fly from one end of the couch to the other, without flight feathers. Amazing, how fast they can recover. This Lady here dud such a good job. Love to see these two together❤
Yeh, I'm surprised no plucking too, plus so confident with things that are often scary to abused birds. My rescues HATE showers, blow driers etc etc, they do love bathing, but only on their own terms with a bath provided that they can choose to get in or out of, even misting with water freaks mine out, let alone the shower. Blow drier same thing, even if I hold it where they can choose in or out of it, they don't want to have it on them. Doobie's special :)
@@azariah333 that's awesome :) Just so people know, it depends on how long they've plucked for as to if the feathers grow back or not. It's a bit like waxing our hairs, if you rip them out from the roots over & over & over again, eventually they no longer grow back. If you only do it a handful of times though, they often will grow back over time, does vary from person to person too as to if feathers/hairs grow back after root pulling out
I knew birds could mimic sounds, repeating words and even phrases. But I never saw one that could copy ACTIONS, like how their human blow dries her hair. Doobie is a born entertainer!
yeh, they do it a lot, all birds too, not just parrots, it's been studied extensively as the ability to learn by watching is considered a sign of high intelligence. I think the first study on this was in pigeons, where they locked some in cages while teaching others how to use a complex food system where the ones in the cages could watch & as soon as they let the ones in the cages try it, they immediately did the right thing, no new learning curve like the first birds had, cause they had learnt by watching the first ones learning to use it. Cockatoos in Australia are causing some problems with this now too, since they are learning from each other how to open wheelie bins to access food scraps. Birds in different areas all do it in different ways cause one figures it out & the rest learn by watching, while in other unrelated flocks, the first to figure it out will potentially figure out a different system of opening it & so that's what the rest learn to do in that area & so on
By the way, looking into their eyes is like looking into their souls. They are living breathing loving, caring extremely intelligent beings. Each with their own personalities. Just like cats, dogs, humans. ❤
How could anyone keep him in a cage for the best part of 28 years? I despair of the human race sometimes and our capacity to be so ignorant and so cruel. So glad he's in a loving family now. You are good people. 😊
That is adorable how he copies her blow drying and runs his feet thru his crown!!!!! It amazes me to see how smart they are and how they pick up on things we wouldn’t even think about! Wow!!!
Keep in mind everyone, parrot education has come a long way since this guy was a baby. Thankful he found a home that understands how things have changed & has improved the quality of life for this guy! 👍👍
Cockatoos are so intelligent and definitely have a sense of humour! They don’t belong in cages! I’m glad Doobie found a loving home. I regularly see large flocks of sulphur crested cockatoos, and smaller flocks of yellow-tailed black cockatoos, they are beautiful creatures!
No cage is big enough for self determined sentient minded creatures need the opportunity of habitat and natural resources the Earth used to offer before the 21st century. Apartment living is like us in captivity in an aviary which is better than jail.
God bless you. I am not a bird rescue person, but my wife and I have been Pit Bull rescuers for the last 26 years, and she is a vet tech. I have seen many Cockatoos and African Grays, and I never cease to be amazed by these majestic birds, and their incredible life span and individual personalities. Your bird is so lucky to have you!
Lovely story 🐦 how can anyone keep a bird confined in a cage 24/7? how cruel! For 28 years! I'm so pleased he's with you now, he loves you ❤ Thank you for rescuing him 🌹🌹
Awww, doobie (sp?) Is such a sweet, beautiful boy! He's a very good boy who found the mum he was meant to have. I do hope they continue to have a happy, long life together! 💗🙂
Thanks for looking after Doobie. Living in Australia seeing a flock of parrots makes my week. I adore parrots and cry inside when these intelligent birds are mistreated. So thanks again for making Doobie happy.
To the owner…. Please don’t think he will never fly! We adopted a sulphar crested cockatoo who was kept in a small cage for her first 34 years. We treat her exactly the same as you do doobie. 3 years we have had her. we let her walk outside …..Well! Wild cockatoos flying over our property scared her and she flew! Up to our homes roof height and to the top of a high gum tree. My partner got her back down. So please don’t assume he can’t fly. Our girl flew but her landing was terrible 😂
I love watching happy story why people lock birds up chubby but cute he knew you would help him he knew it and felt it huggs from Minnesota my cocktail could not fly so he sat on my shoulders all the time he was glued to me😊
A former boyfriend of mine and a blue and gold macaw, Jesse, who absolutely loved showers and would rock his perch as he water sprayed on him. So fun to watch him enjoy himself :)
Make sure you look at their needs in detail AND life expectancy, especially if you get a young bird. Cockatoos can live 80-100 years, so unless you're getting an older rescue bird, that's a LONG time to be caring for one. Really important to research well, cause they really don't do well with multiple homes through their lives. There are species with shorter life expectancies though, 10-30 years only in some cases, or you can rescue one that's already "old" if you don't want such a long commitment They are wonderful pets for the right person, just be sure you research & get one (or more) that suit your lifestyle & commitment levels though
Im so lucky to live in Sydney Australia where these birds..sulphur crested cockatoos ..live amongst us although some ppl wouldnt say hapoily but i love them...i have another native Australian bird as a pet...my little budgie..we also have rainbow lorrikeets that are in massive numbers ..correllas..galahs..we are super lucky to be able to see an live amongst these beautiful animals .
I agree on "the adopt" (done it 2 times..this last one is a LONG WINGED = so when she comes flying ALL PAPERWORK goes 2 😉she was in a really bad condition BUT she love life & food NAMED HER AFTER AN AMERICAN SINGER who also had it rugh "what love got 2 do with it". BUT there is more WORK in adopting, so I GET WHY PEOPLE BUY..& after a messy divorce, guess who rescue?)
Sulphur Crested Cockatoos are hilarious. I see them every day in the park across the road from me. They’ve been feeding in my pear tree this week too. Sulphur Crests mate for life so I love watching them waddling along with their partners. They can live to be 100. 🇦🇺They are native to Australia.
This one's actually a smaller species, I think a citron crested from Indonesia. Most cockies overseas tend to be Indonesian species, cause we have really strong poaching protections for our animals in Australia & really harsh penalities for those caught, so poachers tend to target Indonesia instead, where there's less chance of being caught or properly punished for their despicable crimes. Almost, if not all Indonesian species are endangered cause of the pet trade. Pretty different to the massive flocks of wild ones we have here isn't it!
Oh my gosh, I want him!! Lol! Another heartwarming story from my favorite channel. What an amazing boy Doobie is, he really is a character! Im so very happy that he and Kimberly found each othet. God knew that Doobie needed someone who would give him a good life full of unconditional love, and that Kimberly was just the right one. God bless her for coming to his rescue! ❤
He's adorable!! I'm glad you two found each other. I can't believe his previous housing was just that tiny cage. How cruel!! It looks like he's living his best life now, and his antics are a riot.
@@garyk1334 Absolutely! A cage is necessary to have so that a bird has a safe space to stay in just in case. But definitely not 24/7! They need movement just like all animals and we do❤🦜
@@CuddleBuddiesChannel agreed! A cage is their bedroom or apartment. We all got to see in the pandemic what it's like to be stuck in our apartments 24/7 for weeks, I couldn't imagine being stuck in it for 20+ years! Birds absolutely need to be able to leave their cage & explore a larger area & have social interactions & mental stimulation. So sad the number of people who don't realise this or realise just how intelligent & emotional parrots really are. Glad your channel educates people on this (which it does really well by providing stories people will enjoy watching & subtly reaching those people with that info of what they COULD have with their pet too if they tried to get it)
We've all seen parrots talking, but have you seen them brushing teeth and blow drying hair? Doobie is one unique cockatoo for sure🦜❤
You have the greatest LOVE OF ALL!!❤❤
Wonderful post❤Love
Yeah but, how did he get the name Doobie? 🚬🤣
Would love to see Doobie dance to Bruno Mars's, "Uptown Funk" song. With his yellow head feathers at attention and his natural swag, oh, yeah, Doobie be the GOAT to that tune. Move over Bruno.
After hearing his sad history, I was surprised but very glad he hadn't plucked out his feathers. Let's hope he stays happy! 🎶🦜
Seeing how much Kimberly cares about Doobie's happiness, there's no other way❤ Thank you for watching our video🥰
yeah that's surprising cause some parrots when getting stressed will plucked their feathers..
My sulphur crested came plugged. There was no single feather on his wings. The chest was completely naked. The former owner clipped The flight feathers. He moved in the 31.05.2023. After some weeks, The chest startet closing with feathers and the wing feathers came back.

Doobie looks like a lot of fun. Happy you are making his life better now. ❤😊
Such sociable and loving animals. Thank you for allowing him to be him and experience unconditional love 💜💜💜

You should check out Apollo the bird, he crazy

Why do humans think EVERY OTHER CREATURE is Stupid? I would not be surprised if the other creatures taught humans FIRST.
So happy you found each other. Doobie will be treated with love the rest of his life.💕

Awe Doobie is adorable 🥺😍❤️
Beautiful and fun bird buddy. Glad his life was improved and looks like yours also.
That is adorable how he copies her blow drying and runs his feet thru his crown!!!!! It amazes me to see how smart they are and how they pick up on things we wouldn’t even think about! Wow!!!
Right! Or the teeth brushing. Seems unreal, but just goes to show how intelligent cockatoos are🦜 Thank you for watching our video!
Keep in mind everyone, parrot education has come a long way since this guy was a baby. Thankful he found a home that understands how things have changed & has improved the quality of life for this guy! 👍👍
He is amazing! And so are you!
So adorable!! ❤ Love his fun blow dryer antics and when he's squealing like he's on a swing. 😂
Never a dull day with Doobie🤩

Doobie is so well adjusted considering his beginnings, bless you both! 👍🙏🕊️
So glad you found each other!! ❤
Doobie is your spirit animal guide.
Kimberly thankyou for saving Precious Doobie,
I am so glad you saved him from his previous mean owner
Such a stunning colour
God bless you.

Lovely story 🐦 how can anyone keep a bird confined in a cage 24/7? how cruel! For 28 years! I'm so pleased he's with you now, he loves you ❤ Thank you for rescuing him 🌹🌹
He's adorable 😍 ❤.
I, too, was surprised he hadn't plucked after being on a cage so long. He definitely loves you.
Awww, doobie (sp?) Is such a sweet, beautiful boy! He's a very good boy who found the mum he was meant to have.
I do hope they continue to have a happy, long life together!
💗🙂
What a beautiful lady, pouring her heartfelt consideration into that bird. I felt like crying, I was so impressed with her care for him. 💫🐾💯
We need more people like Kimberly in this world❤
He's a cutie 💓
What a sweet story of mutual love and affection!❤❤❤
what an adorable bird!
I love the wiggle butt of birds when they walk....this is an adorable little one
Handsome feather boy 🥺😍❤️
He's a very lucky cockie. I don't like to see them in captivity ( I see them daily here in Aus) but this is a rescue with someone who really cares.
Thanks for looking after Doobie. Living in Australia seeing a flock of parrots makes my week. I adore parrots and cry inside when these intelligent birds are mistreated. So thanks again for making Doobie happy.
Bless you 4 taking and caring 4 this beautiful baby boy 🐦..he has a good mommy now and his best life ever!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
He’s just too darn cute for his own good. 😊❤🐦

🤧 aww he's so gorgeous, bless you for saving him and giving him a great forever home, outstanding video thanks for sharing 🖤😎👍
🥰❤
Absolutley gorgeous!!! Full of life and sooo funny.. Lovely to meet you Doobie❤❤❤
Thats a long time to remain locked up just for being a beautiful creature. Looking at them and loving them is certainly 2 different things.
I love watching happy story why people lock birds up chubby but cute he knew you would help him he knew it and felt it huggs from Minnesota my cocktail could not fly so he sat on my shoulders all the time he was glued to me😊
He's so beautiful. I'm glad they found each other. 🐥
Awwww, what a special guy! I’m so glad he finally has an owner that’s showering him with love, attention & freedom💗
He is absolutely precious ❤ so wonderful you're giving him the life he so deserves ❤
Thanks for caring
The world needs more people like you❤ truly amazing,
Loved this video!!! 😍😍😍
Thank you Kimberly,for giving Doobie all the love He deserves❤
“It’s HE* and I.” 😊❤
My all-time favorite species of cockacatoos, the yellow sufur version. Very fun video!
They have the most unexpected personalities! We are happy you enjoyed our video💚
He is a Citron Crested
You saved his life and the best part is he saved yours as well. What a heart warming story. Thank you for sharing.
Love the video 😅😅😅😅
So adorable ❤
I love Doobie and his little fat pants ❤. Glad he is with this lady for the rest of his life..
He seems to be a happy little guy despite his tragic past! So funny and lovely!❤😊
Thank you for giving him the life he deserves.
He is so fortunate you give him the life he has long deserved.
It looks like he has little pants on. So cute!!
We need the contacts of his tailor! Fit like a glove😂❤ Thank you for watching!
He looks so healthy now 😇
He is a silly boy😊 I ❤ the beautiful colored feathers on top of his head..have a great life together❤❤
A former boyfriend of mine and a blue and gold macaw, Jesse, who absolutely loved showers and would rock his perch as he water sprayed on him. So fun to watch him enjoy himself :)
1:01 his little waddle melts my heart ☺️❤️
What a doll! How could someone leave Doobie 24/7 in a cage? So cruel. Thank God you found him!❤❤
Bless his heart. He never gave up hope. Live long and stay happy sweetheart. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thankyou ❤️
Puts his snack on his shoulder LOL
And no one's allowed to question it!😄❤
Love his Sunflower Yellow head feathers!! ❤❤😊😊
Doobie’s got a GREAT PERSONALITY! I’ve always wanted a bird maybe I’ll start looking around!
This can be your sign🙌 If you do start looking for a bird, please consider giving rescues a chance! Turned out great for Kimberly and Doobie🥰

You two are so cute together! Hoping your friendship lasts for many more years!
What a treasure … both of you 😊🌷💕
How adorable. Beautiful story!😊😊😊
OMG gorgeous Sulphur Crested ! I do not see many ! Perfect shape ! HUGE commitment. Love this
citron crested I think actually. Definitely not a sulphur crested as they're MUCH bigger birds
@@lilaclizard4504 thank you !
God bless you and God bless this beautiful baby maybe maybe he have 100 more years of happiness.❤🎉😅
He's so cute!
Thank you for Liberating and loving Doobie ❤

Same here in regards with "Adopt, Do Not Shop!"
He is in the best hands and he knows it.❤

When Doobie was walking, and you were singing The Monkees song, I lost it! 😂😂😂❤❤ I hope you have many years of laughter and happiness together!! ❤
Doobie is absolutely amazing and so very precious 💕💕💕
Thanks for giving him loving home.💚💚💚
He is so sweet! I'm glad it is you who adopted him. He looks very happy with his freedom.

So much love in 1 pound of feathers!❤
So much fun with little sweet Cockatoo 😅❤❤❤😊
So happy for you Doobie sweetheart that you have found a beautiful home that can love you for who you are! ❤❤❤❤

Wonderfully responsible birdy parents! It’s takes so much time and dedication. And research before having a bird pet.
He's adorable!! I'm glad you two found each other. I can't believe his previous housing was just that tiny cage. How cruel!! It looks like he's living his best life now, and his antics are a riot.
Gosh I can’t believe people keep birds locked in cages 24/7
People who keep birds in cages should never be allowed to have birds.
Gives me the shivers just thinking about it , cool if they can come & go but to be permanently locked up 😢
What a great pet! Thank you for allowing us to get to know him.

Sulphur Crested Cockatoos are usually bonded to one person. How lucky he chose you as his ever after mum. ❤🇦🇺
What a precious bird! And, bless you for taking him in and giving him a life worth living! 🙏❤️
