- Finally the follow up to the Q&A Video.
Sorry if I didn't answer every question.
I will eventually try to go through and respond to some of the question on the original video.

One part I wasn't sure of was the food brands I use. Here they are
Vitakraft super fruit cockatail treat
Kaytee Gourmet Variety diet
Zupreem Natural Pellets
You’re a good daddy to Max.
😉🌹💝🤗
Owners don't always pick the pet. Sometimes it's the pet that picks the owner.
I have three spoiled dogs who would attest to that sentiment. LOL
True!
My German shepherd will agree with this. I don’t even have a huge house/yard and already have 3 but my foster GSD decided that I was his person and had a melt down when the shelter tried to adopt him out…. So here he stays 😂😂😂

I had a spoiled chihuahua "Lucy" for over 17 years. When I went to the rescue league, as soon as she saw me she went NUTS. As in TAKE ME HOME.
Right my cats
I have 20+ years experience with cockatoos; keeping,training - even running a rescue. You - sir - are an amazing cockatoo keeper. I applaud the way you interact with him and keep him entertained. Thank you for sharing:)
I agree, you are a gentleman among the ungentelmen. I myself do not have the patience to be a friend to a Max Bird. He's blessed to have you, Dan. You are blessed also.
Birdbrained get a nice picture for yourself...
I love Cockatoos but Holy shit, I do not think I could manage taking care of even one.
Birdbrained HERE HERE!!! Dan you're an amazing birdy daddy !!!!
When max goes to sleep does he go through all his vocabulary in a low tone, I used to have a bird who did that it was really funny to hear him say everything he knew in a whisper before he went to sleep.
People need to know that you don’t just shuffle birds around like furniture. They have REAL feelings. They truly bond with people and so on. I’ve had my African Grey since she was weaned for 23 years. We adore each other. Max is beautiful!
Weaned for 23 years? That poor mum.
Yes, thank you for saying/sharing this. The implication (I gathered) that the prior owner was holding onto him until he got cash for Max, from whomever...meanwhile being so frustrated and unable to cope with Max's anguished screams that he was letting anger out at Max to the point of considerably denting the metal cage he was locked in, rather than taking responsibility for creating the situation and making basic sacrifices like time and $ to keep him safe...fills me with so much sorrow and fury.
Once a human has decided to be responsible for an animal's life, their own whims and desires are now at the mercy of this experience and all of the possible outcomes given the species' lifespan, needs, and range of behaviors living in captive situations with humans.
🙏
@@patray162 Amen!
Tears!, when you said the cage had dents from his former owner hitting it to shut him up!, I thought about his frustration in wanting to be with you, it's very sad!..I'm glad you rescued him!..
That pos should be on a registry.
Totally agree how could u be cruel to this sweet beautiful funny bird 💕💕💖💖
It made me really sad too
@Desmond Bagley you're right but if it's to the point of driving you nuts when you bought the bird as a pet. Dont keep it if you cant deal. No need to torture it just because you want it around when it's not as noisy..that's simple. But alot of people do this sadly. With any animal.
@@gorgeousfreeman4836 yeah but again, it can drive anyone crazy. Just be thankful that the guy just beat the cage and not max.
I believe Moluccan cockatoos are still the number one throw away bird. Please adopt don’t shop! Thank you so much Dan for devoting your life to this little boy.💕
There needs to be a registry for abusers and the freaks who throw animals away. Utterly unbelievable and unacceptable behaviour.
Max’s Daddy is super cute im sure he has options!
@@janewright315 - There should be LAWS requiring people to take TESTS of knowledge of cockatoos before one is allowed to purchase a bird !!!!!!!
@@annalisa14 indeed. There should be laws requiring a test of care for any animal, and owning wild animals, as well as their use (torture) in circuses, races, etc. should be banned with mandatory prison time. Oh and mandatory prison time for animal abuse, with a registry of abusers and dumpers, preferably international.
Throw away bird. That made me heart sick. Point made. 💛🕊🧡. Dan is our angel. Takes a very special person.
Dan I just want to let you know what an amazing person you are for saving Max's life. It takes really special people to step up and care for these animals, let alone dedicate their lives to it. The world needs more people like you.
Beautifully said. Gets me a little teary-eyed thinking of all Dan is sacrificing to take of Max. Dan you're an amazing man & the best daddy to Max. Know that we all love the video's that brighten our days. We love you both very much. God bless you & Max!
*care of Max
BTW, when I got the notication for this video & stopped everything to watch it. Your video's always brighten my day. Thanks for sharing Max with us.
Well said I agree.
8 Years!! For Max. WOW that is dedication
You're a shining example of the best qualities of human nature mate. Hearing the story of how you came to adopt Max is enough to restore my faith in fellow man, and bring a tear to my eye. I salute you sir.
Amen to that.

You could go on vacation to a cabin and take Max with you.
That's what carriers are for. You should definitely go on vacation.
Jim .have you heard/seen anything regarding Max n owner recently..? Btw I must agree with you..I think/believe and appreciate ppl such as him myself.
I am very glad you took Max. I can’t believe your “friend” made you pay for him after you were kind enough to keep him while he was away. Thank you for your kindness in taking him into your home and for all of the sacrifices you make. God bless you for your good heart, friend. Max is a joy to watch! Thank you for sharing him with us here!
😉🤝🏼💞🙏😏🤣😎🌹
I want you as my friend!!!
Lovely. But I would like him to have a bird bath in the gazebo. You can get them made of metal from garden centres. I was going to suggest Walmart but understand about stuff maybe not put together properly.
Me too.
This was all made years ago, but I felt like replying anyway!
Bless his little Max heart. No wonder he hates going to the vet...being confined in a towel. Of all the cockatoos on here, Max is my favorite. Thank you for sharing this wonderful birdy...actually I think he's just a little person in a bird suit. ❤
agreed!
From Sydney White and black cockatoos are everywhere here,they have a very loud sqwark,but they are beautiful and intelligent birds,they land on our railings outside,and we feed them apple and pear
So lucky! I'm in Perth, we're getting the rainbow lorikeet's atm, in our bottlebrush trees along with the year-round crowd of red wattlers. Sometimes I see butcher birds (their one of my faves) and I even saw a sacred kingfisher in Summer last year, just sitting above our two bird baths, looking gorgeous. We also saw 3 kookaburra's on the pagoda outside out house, one suddenly swooped down into the bushes and picked up a rat for a meal! It was incredible! He kept whacking its head on the wood, even though it was already dead! We have a bit of a rat problem here, but we do get the southern bookbook at night, helps to mitigate their numbers. Thanks for sharing! I only wish our local birds would come down to eye-level a bit more, but they tend to do that when summer arrives, playing, bathing and drinking from the bird baths we have.
Yeah we get lots of rainbow Lorikeets too,go through a box of apples a week
I dont see as many Kookaburras nowdays,hope we never lose these beautiful birds
Why would people ask about this guys personal life and political beliefs??! None of your business folks. He really answered this question well!
Why ? Because people are brainless asses, that's why.
Precisely. Unbelievable. 👿
Shares his lovely bird with ppl to bring a smile to their days and they overstep the bounds of propriety.
Ikr. Like we need that drama here! I hate politics SOO Much! It makes people so hateful and judgmental. These videos are like therapy from all the stress and anxiety I get from people and politics.
Max seemed to agree with you because son as question was asked her walked away lol
😉🤝🏼🌹.MASTER GUNNY SGT USMC RET BLESS YOU FRIEND
Max is surrounded with love. He has a great Dad too.
the sweetest thing is him whispering back to you. One of my cats has PTSD from a former abusive boyfriend and he has nightmares. He growls and cries in his sleep so from a little distance (without touching him) I say out loud "it's mommy, it's okay, Peanut wake up". Once he wakes up and realizes that I'm calling to him then he's okay. It's terrible that our animal babies go through this but it's comforting to know that we can help them :)
Erika May aww you're so sweet! Good job!
Aw oh my gosh. My aunt rescued a dog that was going to be put down the next day because she was in the pound. And they think she was abused because she is very jumpy, but once they tell her is okay she will calm down. Animals shouldn't have to go through that kind of mental and physical torture
Downfall Dolfy oh my gosh. Yes I did. I need to edit that
That's heartbreaking :/ Likewise, my Wobbles had to go stay with a friend for a few months when I lost my home to a flood, so now in the middle of the night he'll start to quack in fear and when I talk to him, he knows I'm still right there and he goes back to sleep
Im sorry for your cat. But I didn't know that they can get PTSD. that's actually kinda interesting.
Max is lucky to be with you.
🤝🏼🙏😘🤗💝💞👨👧👧💏💏😘🌹💞💝😎
This man has a heart of gold. Anyone would be lucky to have him as a significant other. God bless him and his little bird. Wish there were more people like this.
Ya no kidding! If I were younger, not bad eye candy, I'd move to Amish country and scope it out looking for them. It's beautiful there!
Oh you live in Pa. I live in Maryland near Pa border. 💘 PA. 😃
Every time I see this video I play it because I admire Dan so very much!
The way he is so devoted to giving Maxwell Bird the love and care he needs in his beautiful home is always a joy to see!
Take care, all!💞🤟💖
BEST DAD EVER❣️
Melted my heart to hear about Max whispering back "okay, all right" after you soothe him from his nightmares 😭
Yes that was beautiful. Such a loving thing to do for your pet!
Me too!
Pet birds are a big commitment. You're a good man. Thank you for sharing..
"I haven't had a significant other since I met Max, so we will never know."
Give yourself some credit, man...
Max may get jealous..... 😈
かんぐちあき max probably steal his girlfriend 😂
Dan, I have a 13-year-old dove, or, rather, he has me. I live in his apartment with him, and it's all set up just for him. I have no intention or desire to have a man in my life. How many partners would allow their partner to have a dove that flies loose and owns the kitchen and living room?
I think he might be gay, im not being ugly my gaydar is going off is all.
yep. he's sweet.
swear to god, after you told the heater cord story, 6:00 it sounds like Max says "...that stupid heater".
Heavy Metal Lion He did! XD
Heavy Metal Lion he did lol
Heavy Metal Lion lol, when I reread your comment I read "Sweater to God". I nearly spit out my Sprite! 😂
He did say that! XD Ohh. He is too smart!
Heavy Metal Lion he was never going i
You had me at "I'd prefer that people don't send us donations because we're ok and I'd rather they sent the money to a foundation that cares for birds". On a platform where so many are out for themselves, this is very comforting to hear. Bravo! :)
I've worked as a volunteer wildlife rescuer in my free time for a long time and it's heart warming to see the amount of care and devotion you exhibit towards your little friend. Sending you very positive vibes! :)
does he know he's a bird.
nope
Hhahahaha so funny
he reminds me of fudge from the Judy Blume books
I don't have birds so I really know little to nothing about them, I just went down a rabbit hole on youtube of parrot videos about cockatoos so he's my question. I know they demand a lot of attention and they get self destructive if you're not able to provide them with daily attention, would providing him a friend possibly a mate help with that problem to some extent?
Mr. Max T.V. He is a bird with a beautiful soul he's better than humans ❤💗❤
I hate that his previous owner sold him to you! He should have give him to you considering that you looked after him for six months; and would come by to feed and play with him after the guy got 😡. Moluccans are drama queens and the more you yell at them, the more they scream back. I got cheated on a goffin cockatoo-paid him 600$ and then he decided to give him to a rescue before I got paid again but I'm happy that I got Dexter. I'm very glad that you have Max; you two seem very happy that fate put you together!
the best bird dad
Jesus....is that you?????
daddy
Jesus Christ Bring the holy water
God- JESUS CHRIST Jesus- Ya God- Get the escalade were getting the hell outta here.
Ever👱🏻♀️💙
Dan: Is Max jealous? No.
Max: I'm gonna destroy this green paper that draws Dan's attentions.
I lost numerous pencils to a budgie that thought "oh hooman plays with this, then i can too"
😂
Dan is the ultimate bird dad.
You know a cockatoo is well taken care of when it has all it's feathers.
Narco Bob it’s tragic really how many parrots are neglected. People have no clue the dedication and constant interaction these birds require to stay sane. This is nothing like owning a dog or a cat. Your bird will destroy itself and make your life a living hell if its social and emotional needs aren’t met.
@@deanellis3468 take my mom who has absolutely no idea how to take care of a cockatoo and yet keeps it.
Honestly I really want my mom to give him to a parrot rescue sanctuary because the people there Actually know how to take care of parrots.
@@SamuelTrademarked at least get Her a book on how to care.
Dean Ellis what about cockatiels? Do need as much attention? I hoping to get one day.
@Feather, Fur and Forensics Cockatiel owner here. Can confirm lol It's essentially raising a toddler for 15 years or so.
4:44 *slowly moves closer and stares at the camera*
Loolol
Haha
I'm only 2 and a half minutes in. I started crying when you said there were dents in the cage where he hit it to try and keep Max quiet. It takes a very special person to take care of a bird properly and I'm so glad Max found you. This is a good cautionary tale for anyone who is considering a bird as a pet.
Same here!! The look on his face when he said it really got to me. I could see the pain it caused him to see Max had been abused like that.
Max has the best Daddy now! Love you Max! You are just truly beautiful and so funny, a reflection of the wonderful care and love you are in💓💕
Max is one lucky bird. You're a great birdy daddy.
"He has attacked my great niece once because she touched one of his toys in his room." Lmao that sounds so human childlike and adorable to imagine. I love how he gets closer and closer into the camera at 4:45 lol.
LeilaniPunani Mania ~ He reminds me of one of the Muppets when he does that. 😁
You have a toy dog, cute lol 😆
It's NOT funny when a BIG BEAKED bird attacks anyone.
5:59 and his talkbacks
LOL. they generally only take to one person....and everyone else can piss off 😂 but no, they usually bite everyone else. Lol.
I know this video is old, but I just want to say that you are a wonderful man for having rescued Max from an unsure future, and loving him and taking such good care of him.
"All I knew was that he was a bird. And that he liked to say hi." 😂💗
And that shows the genuine character of this man,who I admire dearly 😃
Theresa Kennedy ~ Absolutely!! The fact that he studied about parrots and cockatoos says a lot about his character as well. He wanted to break the cycle of abuse for Max.
Musical Priss all my grandmas bird says is “pretty bird”
😂😂💗💗
@@happy1831 if Dan would ever write a book about Max, that would be a great title!
You're a genuinely kind-hearted person. Thank you for that. Max is a lucky little bird.
THIS IS WHAT LOVE IS EVERYONE! PURE LOVE. You have a beautiful soul and Max saw it from the beginning. Thank you for sharing Max with us.
Your attitude to your (& Max's) personal privacy is both admirable and refreshingly different from most individuals who post on the InterWebNet. You're a Fine Man sir and your commitment to Max and his health and happiness sets an example to us all. Max, on the other hand, is one screw short of a nutjob ... exactly the way a Moluccan ought to be. I can't tell you how hard I've laughed at your videos - you both bring a LOT of joy to the world. Peace & Good Vibes from the UK.
StonyRC I really appreciate him not bringing politics into this as well. This channel does not need that drama! This channel is like therapy from all the stress and anxiety I get from politics. Also greetings from the US.
Sometimes Daddy makes noises and talks kind of strangely to Max. Max pauses and looks at his dad as if to say "are you ok in the head?" Lol.
Anyone considering anything beyond a Budgie should watch this video... taking on such an intelligent long lived species is a lifelong dedication that will change many aspects of your life. Fantastic video.
They should READ BOOKS and VISIT RESCUE SANCTUARIES as well !!!!!
Are cockatiels difficult to care for? That’s what I want one day.
Budgies deserve the same too, thanks.
budgies require same level care
@@ecologist_to_be not for 60 years tho.
I to have a feathered three year old. He adopted me almost 15 years ago. If you accept their friendship it's a lifetime commitment. I'm so lucky that I've been able to be with my little friend just about everyday since I've had him. He is amazing. His vocabulary is amazing in and of itself. We listening to Audiobook's while I work. Heaven forbid if I go back to repeat something I missed. lol. They are very special birds. I'm so glad you found each other.
Carol Vangundy he adopted you 😂😂😂 so perfect
I adore this! So lovely 😊
God bless you, Dan. I worked in animal rescues for many years. Hearing of this level of love, care and consideration, brings me joy. Thank You, for sharing wonderful Max with us. I found your channel a year ago, and I feel blessed that I did ❤🇬🇧
Thank you for your service. Animal Rescue shelters will break your heart. ❤
Mate! your an amazing bloke to dedicate a large proportion of your life to making sure he's as happy as possible. Hope you meet someone special who accepts Max, you deserve it :-)
Now I can easily win a quiz contest about Max
📗Subscribers should take the time to listen and they’d have all the answers needed for questions. Sometimes our world is too fast, like 24 hour news cycle. I learned so much. Appreciate YOUR time, Dan. Hi Maxi, luv u little ray of sunshine ☀️ in my world, even on the darkest day. 🌈 ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜💙💚💛🧡❤️🧡💛💚💙💜💚💙💜❤️🧡💛💚💙 🌈. Stay humble*be kind*love Maxwell*hi to Max’s family n friends👩🏼💻
Goodness! They live to be 80 or 90 and he's only 13? That bird is gonna outlive me! Haha.
+Nuclear Blues wtf are you talking about? These birds can live for 90 years. Yes, 90. So max has possibly another ~77 years.
Michael Western She said 80 *or* 90. Don't be rude.
Good....
Take your 5! RUclips should do something where if the name changes, the comment name should too
YOU KNOW YOU'RE BIRD OUR GIANT MACAW ROSCOE IS QUITE A HANDFUL HE 🤝👏🤙😎🤞😉🤔😉🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Having Max seems to be similar to having a special needs child. God bless you for taking this on, he could have been in a really bad situation.
Sure is.,I’m glad he makes these videos for people like me who don’t have birds…❤️
I know owning any kind of bird must be a lot of work. But it must be nice having the same animal friend for your entire life.
I had an old rescue dog who died about six months ago in a not so good, & tragic way.
Sorry for your loss.
I'm sorry for your loss, just know that your beloved dog hasn't left you, he/she is only "on the other side" and will still always be with you no matter what!
+I am your great great great great great GRANDMA ...I truly believe we will be reunited with our beloved pets...after all, it's heaven and without my kitties & doggies, it wouldn't be a good, happy place for me.
Kitty Vaughn
Yes me too! I'm sure we'll get to see those rascals again so much more than we could imagine :)
All parrots are a lot of work; they really belong IN THE WILD. Unlike other animals, PARROTS ARE NOT DOMESTICATED. They are WILD ANIMALS. That's one reason why people find them so difficult to deal with. It takes a lot of dedication to live with a parrot properly. You have to absolutely ADORE THEM your whole life. Of the three parrot families (the others are parakeets -- that's a family, not a species -- and true parrots) the cockatoo family is the most challenging to live with. I actually wrote a book introducing people considering life with cockatiel cockatoos called "Preparing for My First Cockatiel." This is my life's passion and I'm proud to say both my cockatiels are very happy girls -- well except for they both want to get married.
The fact that you chose to live the rest of your life with moments of insanity so that Max would never have to, is one of the most emotionally moving acts I've seen or heard in my life. Thank you for being who you are and for sharing so much of your life together with the world.
😭
“He hated him, bit his feet and screamed for 24 hours a day” 😂. Bless you for caring for him!
Seen this so many times and am still shocked your friend asked you to watch Max for so long like he was just a hamster. It's like someone asking you to watch their two year old for half a year! Kudos to you for taking on this commitment and extending it for a lifetime.
And then asked for him back, like uh, no.
The friend had no clue and is selfish!!!
Kind of upsetting that Max's former owner was going to sell him and, after you cared for and loved him for six months, to sell him to you for a large amount of money. No wonder Max was upset to go back to him!
Even MORE upsetting was that Max's former owner had been hitting Maxwell's cage.
Unconditional love!!!!
I know this is not new, and I know it's just cause people want to interact with Max, but it's crazy how hard a time people have understanding personal information and privacy!! Crazy!!
Thank you for such a loving explanation about Max. You truly deserve him and vice versa.It's so refreshing to hear someone with so much love and dedication to their pet. Wish more people would take caring for a pet so seriously. God bless you both.
I will vote for Max for President. He’s the cutest thing ever!!!!! ❤️
You do know that you and Max were destined to be together, and bring people together. 🌹🌹
I'll be adopting a 3 year old Sun Conure on Saturday. Sadly I'll be his 3rd home. But good news for him is this will be his forever home.
I'm too old to get another cockatoo.
As much as I'd love to.
As you had said you have to plan for their future because thay can outlive us.
The Conure will be my 3rd parrot.
R.I.P Marlin
R.I.P Sam
Those are the "quieter" birds, right?
Colonel Mark Julifs good luck! 😊
I had a Peach Fronted Conure and I was also his third home. But it was love at first sight for both of us. He also was not a “planned bird” for me either. He was pretty much abandon and if it weren’t for me I have no clue where he would have ended up. He lived with me for 10 years before he passed away in June of 2017. He was my soul mate and I miss him every second of every day. He was lots of work but was worth it. Enjoy your new friend!! 💜💜❤️❤️
Thank you so much for adopting that little one and I hope everything is ok. I adopted a green cheek conure (Isabel, now approx. 16 y/o) from one of my daughter's teachers many years ago. The teacher's teenage daughter kept throwing things at the bird everytime she made a noise, so I was asked if I could take her. Poor Isabel was traumatized and has never stopped being agressive, but she is in a loving home and seems happy living next to my Yellow Nape Amazon.
@@FranklinXVI conures might be small, but they are not the " quieter " bird. They can scream like crazy if they don't get the attention and care they need. If you want a quieter bird, take a cockatiel or quaker parrot.
GET YOUR TOES OUT OF THE TEA is my favorite line lolol. He's eating the q and a sheet lol
Thank You. It's absolutely heart warming.
Same here. I'm already a big fan of Max, but now I love him even more. Dan is a phenomenal human being & daddy to Max.
Thanks for Q&A! Maybe U can take some Stay-cation days, go out and have a Dan Day where it is all about U. Even if you go home for lunch in between.
Max was a lucky bird to met you!
Max definitely has a great home!! He seems very happy and very comfortable with you!! Good job and kudos to you!!!
Max is a beautiful bird. Amazing how he beautiful and healthy he is 💙
who else saw when max SLOWLY moved close to the camera i was laughing hella hard
SCEPTILE slowly he turned..........
I loved that too! His side eye gets me too
Me too lol
Jalapeno2002 ☠️
Max is ready to give Tom Cruise a run for his money I think. He completely understands the camera doesn't he? And when he gets his Oscar in a few years instead of Applause we're all going to stand up and make a sharp left turn in a circle. Don't forget the head dip it's kind of like doing the wave.... I just love love love max!
One of your BEST EVER videos - nice to see some more of yourself and not just Max. That being said, I laughed out loud when you told the story of Max chewing the heater cord and he immediately chipped in with his own comments.
StonyRC lool that made me laugh too! I love max and his sassy ness 🤣🤣👏
Hello there Max and Owner, thank you for the comments.
That comment about eyesight explain the Greenwing parrot I met, and how it could tell the names of the species of birds it spotted.
I remember I mentioned I would have needed binoculars to determine species - so there we got another small piece of parrot intelligence explained.
All the women want those spa days
Your friend should of just gave him to you, you took care of him for 6 months. Some people ....
he was selfish and would never do that
Mr. Max T.V. Hope you have terminated all contact with your heartless human "friend", Max's greedy selfish former owner/rescuer. Max is a Lucky Bird. May you & Max live long & be happy.
Goobie Goober I agree. If his friend had to pay him. It would have been thousands.
Everything happens for a reason, if this guy didn’t go get max from Maine he wouldn’t have found Dan! Thankfully he did!
This is lovely. You gave a compassionate soul. Max is adorable and has quite a soul and personality that you know and get. So wonderful. You are a great guy and eternal blessings for you and your humanity. Its too bad your friend was so callous about poor Max but Max found his way to you and let the world know that he found his family.
I really love how you've kind of adopted bird-like mannerisms and bonded in that way with him.
Instead of being rude or upset about it, you're very tolerant and engage in his behavior (or discipline if necessary), and you're his best friend. As it should be. You're an amazing owner and it's great to see how well you do. So proud!
M
@@nancylingenfelter5505 Yes?
It's so cute when he goes on his rages and you patiently ask him "Are you done now?"
You are a perfect example of why people should adopt parrots! - "Adopt don't shop" Buying hand fed baby parrots is so cruel! You are a wonderful owner!
I have a lot of respect for you sir. You remind me of my father, even though I'm probably much older than you are. My dad was the kind of guy who would stop in the middle of a busy street to help an animal of any kind. He taught both my brother and I to respect, love and protect anyone animal or person especially if they're smaller and helpless, or old and helpless. He was the most compassionate person I've ever known. I like that about you. You've developed a father child relationship with that sweet little bird and you've decided out of the love you have for Max to care for him for the rest of your life. Like a true parent everything in your life must be done according to what's best for your child, Max. You're a better dad than almost any man I've ever met, besides my own. YaHuWaH bless you and Max. Shalom my friend
Dads are like that!!!! mine too....x 🌸🕊️
Dan, you're a wonderful loving dad to Max.Thank you for sharing Max with us. you both make us happy.
Lol, you DEFINITELY have a Central PA accent! (My husband's family is from western Central PA, so I know the accent quite well.) It is lovely to see how you so devotedly care for this bird that you never originally planned to own. Possibly for the rest of your life. Bless you, sir!
I live in PA. No one in this state talks like him. I think he's orignally from Canada.
Canadians and Americans that live right on the border often have the same accent. Very southern Manitoba residents can have a fargo accent.
Great video Dan , thanks for telling about Max .. :) You two are great !!
Harley the cockatoo
Love this bird ... total respect to you for the way you look after him so well.
Max is so lucky to have you.
I too never planned on owning a bird, but then a baby parrot (Alexansrian ) flew into my home and I did not know what to do, and I turned to utube and found Max and Bowie...your videos were so entertainin and helpful.. I named my parrot Max :)..love you Max...
shilpa chadha start a RUclips channel, plox, need more bird vids
Our Dearest Friend Dan, You are sooo very kind to all of us, for taking the time to tell us about Max, AND you! I"m SO relieved Max went with you an didnt stay to the man that kept hitting his cage! I cried at that part!
He looks extraordinarily clean alert and healthy. Like everyone else I can see he's a lucky bird.
Bless your heart for saving Max and dedicating your life caring for him. The song says, "heaven holds a place for those who pray", but I believe heaven will hold a place for you. St Francis of Asisi will welcome you and all your pets when your time here is done.
Domo hhhh
Mrs. Robinson
I'm so glad that handsome boy has someone wonderful taking care of him!
❤ 🥰 To Dan
Re your description of Max getting upset or scared or possibly bad dreams when sleeping....
You said you go to him & quietly calm him , "it will be okay" & he repeats that back to you.
One of the kindest things I've ever heard described; & his response -- so lovely
I'm very impressed by your understanding of Max and his species. It is like a 3yr. old that never growes up. It's easy to fall in love with the bird but to commit to his care says volumes about your character. I and all Max's friends will stick with you. If you ever need help, reach out, you don't have to squawk alone....

first time viewer
i have known many bird owners, from canary's to macaw's, but i have never seen someone this dedicated to his bird
you, my friend, are awesome, max looks really healthy, ive seen alot of parrots with bald belly's
one of my neighbors had a cockatoo who had almost no feathers, bored out of his skull and not enough room
its really cool to see someone who really takes care of his friend like you do
thank you for posting the vids
Max was not a planned bird hehehe
8 o.k.
I guess he needs bird control

YOUR SIBLINGS
I too ended up being a 'life friend' of a Mealy Amazon. My boy,Oscar della Parrot has less personality than Max. When I got him Oscar was a rescue bird and such a sad little chap. But I hope with all my heart that he no longer remembers the bad times. I AGREE, people should not breed these creatures in captivity and if you have the BIG space in your life it takes to have a bird, get a rescue bird. There are too many birds that need good homes.
Hi I amfrom Australiahe is certainlya gorgeous boy he certainly loves you.
Ive watched this particular few times. While I can only speak for myself, at 53 years old, and basically content single, after relationships that I poured my heart and sole into only for them to having turned out to be nothing more than emotional learning experiences, I now ACCEPT and LOVE the fact that my best "long term" relationships are those I have with dogs. Senior dogs at that. You know what Dan - if this is all God planned for me - my role in this big cruel world, I'm damn well blessed and one of the luckiest women on planet Earth. I love your videos. I love you and Max. You two guys are more than a girl could ask for. Thank you for brightening up my little world.
You are a good man!
Max was not a planned bird! I love it!
lol i know. It sounded like the equivelent of, "he wasn't a planned child" haha :P
I grew up with these birds. They require extreme dedication and care. They live incredibly long and you need to be sure someone whome they know will take care of them when you are gone. They dont call them the velcro bird for nothing! They will self mutilate, and yes they are loud! Imagine having a needy toddler for 60 plus years, well that's a cockatoo.
They are not for everyone and I personally think most people should not own them because they often get neglected and mistreated, even by those with the best intentions.
I think Max owner is doing an incredible job and I am so so grateful for people like you. Max is so handsome and healthy looking... love his cocka-tude....and boy do they all have one. Well done sir. Live your channel
Max is so cute and lovely. Just like a baby..god bless you both
God will compensate you for all of the sacrifices you make because of your love for Max. God bless you
I’ve watched a few of Max’s videos... I just wanted to say that I applaud and admire you for the love and care you give to Max! He is beautiful, well loved and obviously well cared for. He is a lifelong commitment, and again, I applaud you!
Thanks!
Marsha
I have always rwspected you as a fellow cockatoo owned human (and Leon my 40 yo U2 loves watching Max) but omg ty for sacrificing to keep him safe from the musical home life. ..
*respected...
6:00 "that stupid heater" oh my gosh a bird that understands what it is saying lol
TurkeyBoy55 7:16 lol just keeping my spot
@@sunnymoon726
That's true. They understand more than what people think they do.
I'd be surprised when Sam would respond correctly to questions asked.
WTF LIKE THAT'S CRAZY
@@sunnymoon726 He often speaks in appropriate answers and phrases. We are just beginning to understand how intelligent theses creatures are. Love to listen to some of their "conversations".
I heard that lol
I had no idea Cockatoos were carnivorous! Learn something new everyday!
Natural diets and just liking the taste is different :)
Well no they don't specifically eat meat. They need a balanced diet like humans do, fruits and veggies, meat, eggs (calcium), etc. That's what I've read online. They can't just eat bird food it's not nutritious enough. They need lots of other things too.
no he would be an omnivore
carnivorous would mean they eat their own species, but they don't, they don't eat other parrots / cockatoos ... It just shows how cooked chicken is THAT great, i guess ("x
eating their own kind would make them cannibals
Having adopted a male Elanora cockatoo around 20 years ago, I can emphasize with you. Permanent toddlers, tantrums and all.
You are amazing, kind human being. Max is a lucky boy to have found you.
That all birds in captivity should be so lucky to have such loving owners! Good birdie daddy! lol
Loved this video, it really cheered me up! Max is fabulous and you are a true gent for being so loving and kind to Max. Greetings from Scotland.
Max is adorable 🐦. I love watching the videos. He is one of a kind with a cool personality. Very unique ❤
We have an umbrella cockatoo name Angel and she is spoiled just like Max. Angel’s favorite food is cornbread.
My bird- Paddington and I love watching Max! And we want to thank you for sharing Max with us, including the question and answer video. And we praise you as the owner for being such a good Bird Daddy!!! Max has been blessed! 💙
We have a 17 year old Senegal parrot (who we have had since he was a hatchling) who may live to be 50. We have instructions in our will for him to go to the Parrot Sanctuary in Louisa, Virginia. I'm happy to tell you more about it if it would serve you. It gave us great peace of mind. Thank you for knowing that these wonderful intelligent companions are a life long relationship. They are flock animals and so are we! They teach us as much as we teach them.
I have a ten yr old yellow nape amazon parrot, has since she was 6 months old. She loves pasta, oatmeal, apples, pineapple, grapes, oranges, just about all fruit. She loves chicken and i do give her almonds once in a while because they are good formher feathers. Your Moulccan Cockatoo is beautiful!
I'm so happy you rescued Max. You're so good together. Thank you for sharing Mr. Max with us. He is my favorite!! I love all his toys and that he has his own room. He is such a happy bird. You're amazing with him. 😎
I teared up when you talked about telling him he’d be alright and okay. You’re such a great pet owner!
