I’ve been watching Max videos for a long time. They’re great. They also serve a great purpose. Anyone that thinks they want to just go buy one of these beautiful, and intelligent birds, can see this takes a huge commitment. A special life changing commitment. They are sensitive emotional creatures that will try ones patience. I live in a rural area where cats show up at our door all the time. They have been brought out and dumped here buy owners that don’t want them any more. They are starving, and sick in most cases because they lived in a house and were suddenly thrown into a semi arid desert environment to survive. It breaks my heart. A bird like this brought into a home is a LIFETIME commitment, these birds can live 40-60 years in captivity. So please observe how much love and time this man spends with his bird. If you want on-ramp think CAREFULLY because it’s a huge commitment.
The "scanner speak" seems to have an upper crust English accent to me. Bless the little guy. I hate to see him nervous but those little toenails need some love!
That machine voice is so freaky-hilarious! He's speaking in tongues! And then all of a sudden up two octaves he goes into a totally different voice. then down to the machine voice again, then back up. then banging and yelling - he has such a variety of sounds! Sign of a super happy bird!
Nobody but nobody expresses his feelings like our brilliant Max does. He ALWAYS presents the greatest, impassioned arguments. He knows how it will end up, but he NEVER willingly gives up... such a determined, little love muffin... I am sure by now our boy has "forgiven" Dad especially since it's *National Make a Friend Day. 💛😉🤠🧡
I love these prolonged speeches. He's so serious about what he is saying. But his voice change when passionately protesting nail care is the best. He doesn't go easy. And, he tells you exactly what he thinks of papa's insistence. Too funny.
I LOVE MAX! I had no idea what a cockatoo is capable of; such a vast range of emotions; the way Max plays with his toys..... It’s so obvious how much he loves his daddy!
My, my, my ! He was especially vocal this time around. Those laughs at the second half were creepy ! I would guess that all goes well and he'll be back to his cheery-self tomorrow. Thanks for sharing :)
Once again, Max attempts to summon Cthulhu through the use of ancient and forbidden words in tongues that man cannot truly comprehend. All to avoid going to the vet.
Max and gotcha the cockatoo know something's about some things that's strangers than fiction they speak another language when their really upset he speaks of evil spirits and how what the drs office and that cage he is always trying to dismantle is evil👿👺👹☠️ and saligated 😤😠
Max "I immediately summoned the celery at seven degrees and I've slammed the door to the carrier and got back in my cage but as Daddy still hasn't got the message, I will turn myself into a Demented Bird and have an Epic Meltdown, because I'm NOT going!!!" What do you think everyone, shall we nominate Maxwell for an Oscar?
Very smart bird, even though his English is a little broken, he clearly knows when a vet visit is coming. When birds sway back and fourth its usually out of discomfort as a warning to the discomfort
Max is amazing! Poor guy,.. he was trying so hard to explain why he didn't care to go to the vet. In his mind he had his reasons and was trying to make Dan, (Dad) understand. Dan, wondering does he continue to be vocal while in the carrier and on his way to the vet. He's just amazing. One can see why he's your everything. No one would care for him like you. PS Max you really made me smile and if course I understood every word. Dan, thanks for sharing
So true and I feel the same way! ❤❤ no wonder he's Daddy's world and how amazing they both are! In so grateful that we all can share in these moments with them and gets glimpse into their crazy crazy crazy,.. loving... beautiful world! I really do love that lil Guy, he stole my heart at first sight,oh and did I mention how smart he is? Have a great day everybody
@@eireannemerald1382 if you watch all his vet visits.. for some reason, max says celery at 7 degrees alot🤣🤣 So now we all joke that max is summoning the celery God's 🤣🤣💘🌷🤗🇨🇦
Boy, Dad, you are getting an earful today!!!!! And when he lifts his wings to emphasize his talk, it is so hilarious! Wouldn't you just love to know what Maxwell is saying? "Take that d***** thing u of my room!!!!!! NOW!!!!! Did you hear me, I tried to reason with you, Dad, but I am DONE!! Remove the cage NOW!!!! I said NOW, dad!!"" Oh Maxwell, I love you birdie butt!!
There's a scene in Joseph Conrad's novella, Heart of Darkness, where "evil incantations in unspeakable tongues" are heard in the jungle. Makes me think of Max.
Always know when the vet visit is due. Max starts eating "celery at seven degrees"! Love the way he starts off with that low mumbling then goes into a full-blown rant! You tell 'em Max. Shouldn't laugh really, he's only like that because he's upset he has to have his toenails cut. Aw, never mind Max, it'll go quick. Hi all my Flockatoo friends. I'm not around so much these days. Hope you're all doing well. And of course, hi Max, Dusty and Dan
It's amazing how well they are at mimicking not only our speech but our mannerisms. In that angry frustrated voice, he flaps his wings and shoves his head around and puffs up his feathers. I'm assuming those things are things left over from survival behaviors in the wild, to intimidate potential predators. Except, he mixes in that human frustration, which fits up perfectly with how he must be feeling. We kinda do the same, we deliver our words with more physically pronounced actions, using our hands to demonstrate frustration, aggressive movements, and being prepared for hostility. If any pet is told they have to go to the vet, thats probably how they would act if they could properly communicate with us. Just something like "I am NOT GOING. I will NOT let that STRANGE MAN touch my FEET. ABSOLUTELY NOT. IVE HAD IT UP TO HERE WITH THIS." Which is what I hear basically from Max in these videos. It's good to know they understand what tone and such has to do with mood, and amazing how they can adopt that with their own natural instincts
Max is summoning demons to curse the vet so he doesnt have to go anymore. The summoning failed once again, guess he’ll just have to try harder next time.
So lucky he uses that quiet deep voice to complain about the Vet or anything he doesn’t like. Hope he never finds out the high pitch screaming is the thing that drives people crazy. Take that back - guess he does know to complain loudly (lol). I love the emphasis he uses with his body.
I wonder how many owners of a variety of animals tell their pets, well you won't let me do it so you have to go to the VETS!!!!! If they only really knew we try to do the best for them lol. Love you Mr Max, you always make me smile xx
Dan, if only you could make a playlist of all the pre-vet-visit tantrums for those who want to binge on those particular videos, that would be fantastic!
@@rhondaz356 Me too, Rhonda. But we can be sure, Dan will do everything to make Max feel as safe and comfy as possible and there will be treats and extra cuddles afterwards.

Yes! Dan must be so stressed out, and I really admire how he doesn't let Max see it. (Which would, in turn, make Max even more stressed out.) Dan keeping his voice low and steady, his little jokes ("your cell phone so you can call 911") - I'm sure that not only keeps Max as calm as possible in this situation, but helps calm down Dan himself. Does that make sense? Not giving in to the nervousness. Something to keep in mind for Calista's next vet visit!
@@emilyinoregon6967 hii, Emily! Good morning from Flanders! I agree : Dan does all he can to keep the stress level as low as possible... for Max and in fact at the same time for himself, too. Animals pick up changes in moods really easy. They have a special sense for that. And it's not easy to cover that up! Our cats were outdoor cats. So, I asked the vet to come as early as possible and I kept the cats inside in the morning, when they came in to have breakfast. That way, they didn't have to wait too long. But of course, they sensed there was something different, when they were kept in. Moesje, the mother cat, usually started wining, quietly, pacing around. Sfinks just wanted to stay underneath the kitchen table. I sat there with them, on a chair, talking to them, hoping to comfort them. It was always such a relief when it was done...!
@@carinagryp6264 You're so right about it being a relief when it's over! I try not to show how stressed I am, but I guess my body just tenses up and she picks up on it anyway.

This was way too funny. First he tried all the delaying tactics, then went through his repertoire of jungle sounds like Tarzan and Bomba movies. Then he finally took a breath, dropped his head on his perch. Almost like asking himself what else can I do to get my true feelings across to Dan. Good luck at the vets. When my shepherd would accompany me to the vet with Gonzo in his carrier Gonzo, the cat would howl and complain the 18 miles to the Dr's. Rambo, the dog, would cry and shriek in sympathy. What a great trip that was. Max's noises brought it all back to me. There were some alien sounds coming from inside that carrier. Great laugh here in the Catskills. Thanks guys!
To all the people commenting negatively on Max's behaviour, Max is an adorable, happy and playful bird. He just hates the carrier because he associates it with going to the vet and getting his toes clipped. I will take Max any day over angry humans.

@@claudiachasman8307 Dan makes a few mistooks in humour that he might get from Hannah & Barbara cartoons but there is NEVER any malice intended. I am sure. Just the way he thinks of everything for him. That's what you have to look at, I'll amend that to as well as the valid points that you raise. I wonder if a much larger carrier for Max. Then maybe he'd relax a little bit, not be as scared of going to the vet, which is obviously a trigger for him, & possibly feel a bit claustrophobic in there.
@@claudiachasman8307 I think Dan jokes for our benefit. All Max really hears is the TONE of his voice. I'm guessing he doesn't have the kind of intellect to discern meanings from any terminology. But if he does, then I hope he will respond to my requests from before LOL
@@sherriebrand1771 Large parrots have actually been proven to understand the meanings of some words, according to different avian journals. They can even come up with their own sentences, kind of like a toddler does. Ex: Petri want apple. He understands Petri is himself, want means give me, and apple is the food apple. It's really fascinating how much they can learn, not just repeat! Tone definitely helps, tho in situations when you want to calm them down, like most animals. :)
I laughed so much watching this video once or twice or 3 times! Max did everything he's known for: the deep foreign voice, the screaming. Really loud screaming. He was so mad. And the rocking sideways but also.forward with his feathers fluffed up. Even though these are his "worst" moments because he hates the vet, I love Max's way of showing that.
I absolutely love you Max ! Seriously you bring me such joy ! I remember sharing your posts Dan with my beautiful mum . She was overwhelmed with Max and enjoyed this special time . Especially the vet visits ! 💚💙😄🌹
Everyone loves the “police scanner voice” but “ablibahdiblah” is my fav ☺️

That is not a demon voice. It is Max trying to express his feelings, and my favorite Max voice. Then my second favorite voice starts. Love you, Max.

I love the vet visits. I get to hear some preaching
💓💕💚💙💛 I love you too Mr Max.
Hello there???
This was way too funny. First he tried all the delaying tactics, then went through his repertoire of jungle sounds like Tarzan and Bomba movies. Then he finally took a breath, dropped his head on his perch.
Almost like asking himself what else can I do to get my true feelings across to Dan. Good luck at the vets. When my shepherd would accompany me to the vet with Gonzo in his carrier Gonzo, the cat would howl and complain the 18 miles to the Dr's. Rambo, the dog, would cry and shriek in sympathy.
What a great trip that was. Max's noises brought it all back to me. There were some alien sounds coming from inside that carrier. Great laugh here in the Catskills. Thanks guys!
He may be a bit possessed, but he's still so darn cute!
He's such a hunk of a bird lol
Oh my goodness! That was quite a fit. Banging your beak and everything!
Poor Max he just hates leaving home. Period. For anything, ever. He loves his home so much😢❤️👱🏻♂️🐦🐱
Hi Max, been a while since I've heard such a long spiel from you. My nice big Max mug for morning coffee is my absolute favorite, thank you.
The opinions he expresses seem to have genuine conviction behind them.
Max is giving you a sermon and it has turned into quite a rant! If only we knew what he was saying....lol!
To all the people commenting negatively on Max's behaviour, Max is an adorable, happy and playful bird. He just hates the carrier because he associates it with going to the vet and getting his toes clipped. I will take Max any day over angry humans.
Spot on. Our dog put up a really bab fuss when he went to the groomer.
I AGREE, *TOTALLY*:
And, "*MAX*" IS *NOT* "*Crazy*", "*BI-POLAR*":
ORRR:*DEMON*-
*POSSESSED*😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠
He has "*P.T.S.D.*", from HIS PREVIOUS OWNER, that *ABUSIVE* OLD MAN, who used to By AT "*MAX*"'s CAGE, with a CLUB:
And, I have a *Question*:
Did that OLD MAN EVER *HIT*, or *PHYSICALLY* *ABUSE* "*MAX*"(????!!!!!!!):
THAT COULD ACCOUNT for A LOT of "*MAX*"'s ("*Over-the-Top*") behaviour...:
(Just sayin'....
And, pardon me, but, DAN is NOT HELPING the situation, by talking about "*Beating Max OVER THE HEAD..."
😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠THAT is JUST mentioned*NOT* *FUNNY*, by *ANY* STRETCH of THE IMAGINATION😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠
"*MAX*" is *OBVIOUSLY* "*TRAUMATIZED*"/
"*TRIGGERED*":
By *THE CARRIER*/*THE VET'*":
And THIS is *PRECISELY* when he *NEEDS* some
"*L💗VIN's*":
Some (*INTENSIVE*): "*TENDER* *L💗VING* *CARE*":
And, ABSOLUTELY *NOT*:
*VERBAL*/*EMOTIONAL*(or, ANY OTHER KIND of):*ABUSE*😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠
NOT EVEN, "*IN '*JEST*'"😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠It is *JUST* *NOT* *FUNNY*😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠
Even though "*MAX'*" is (*BASICALLY*), a VERY *JOYFUL*, and (*EMOTIONALLY*)- *WELL-BALANCED* "*Birdie*":
I THINK, that DAN (*SOMETIMES*)*FORGETS*:
That "*MAX*'" has a VERY "*Tender*", *DELICATE*:
(*HIGHLY* *SENSITIVE*, and *FRAGILE*):
And, *FINELY*-*TUNED*):
"*EMOTIONAL* *Structure*"😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨
AND:
He CAN BE *EASILY* "*Triggered*".😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨
THAT is WHY, it is NOT GOOD, for DAN to CALL "*MAX'*" *UN-KIND* *NAMES*, like "*CRAZY*", or "*BI-POLAR*":
OR, for him to *EVER* TALK, about "*BEATING* '*MAX*'" OVER THE HEAD*":
BECAUSE:
The Bird *UNDERSTANDS:
*ONLY* WHAT HE *HEARE:
And DOESN'T HAVE the "*Filtering*", OR, "*PROCESSING*" "*SKILLS*":
Or, "*CAPACITY*:
+MUCH, like a *3*, or *4*-year-old *CHILD*:
To BE ABLE to *DISCERN*, *The DIFFERENCE*:
BETWEEN, WHEN DAN is *SERIOUS*:
Or, when he is " MAKING A JOKE*", with him.😨😨😨😨😨
@@claudiachasman8307 Dan makes a few mistooks in humour that he might get from Hannah & Barbara cartoons but there is NEVER any malice intended. I am sure. Just the way he thinks of everything for him. That's what you have to look at, I'll amend that to as well as the valid points that you raise. I wonder if a much larger carrier for Max. Then maybe he'd relax a little bit, not be as scared of going to the vet, which is obviously a trigger for him, & possibly feel a bit claustrophobic in there.

I think Dan jokes for our benefit. All Max really hears is the TONE of his voice. I'm guessing he doesn't have the kind of intellect to discern meanings from any terminology. But if he does, then I hope he will respond to my requests from before LOL
@@sherriebrand1771 Large parrots have actually been proven to understand the meanings of some words, according to different avian journals. They can even come up with their own sentences, kind of like a toddler does. Ex: Petri want apple. He understands Petri is himself, want means give me, and apple is the food apple. It's really fascinating how much they can learn, not just repeat! Tone definitely helps, tho in situations when you want to calm them down, like most animals. :)
I laughed so much watching this video once or twice or 3 times!
Max did everything he's known for: the deep foreign voice, the screaming. Really loud screaming. He was so mad. And the rocking sideways but also.forward with his feathers fluffed up. Even though these are his "worst" moments because he hates the vet, I love Max's way of showing that.
Hello there, how're you doing!!!
My 81 y.o mother loves these videos and so do I !
From a radio demon into an upset muppet. Max has an amazing range.
the bird sounds like a talk radio station you cant get the frequency quite right.
if i remember correctly, it was speculated his previous owner constantly had his radio on
His previous owner had an am radio
I thought it sounded like a radio. At first I thought of Christian radio for some reason
@@laylahawkins4873 No, it was Satan Radio.
aah yes the well known "eating celery at 70 degrees"
7*
"I eat celery at 7 degrees."
Omg I can't un hear it........ Omg
Lol I always remember that 😂😂😂
😂🤣👍
Awe, he actually trembles at 3:05. I love his interpretation of his "vet visit day". I love his scream at 6:55. He makes the best noises!!!
I absolutely love you Max ! Seriously you bring me such joy ! I remember sharing your posts Dan with my beautiful mum . She was overwhelmed with Max and enjoyed this special time . Especially the vet visits ! 💚💙😄🌹
