Gotcha the Moluccan Cockatoo.
Follow Gotcha on Instagram!: gotcha_the_cockatoo
He's a happy boy ☺️.
He's not always in a good mood, parrots have good days and bad days just like humans do.
They're really just like feathered children lol.
Thanks for watching! 💙
❗️❗️❗️85% of parrots are either resold, given away, or abandoned within just 2 short years of being purchased.
I cannot stress enough how heartbreaking this sad truth is.... Too many people impulse buy parrots because of cute or funny traits they'vet seen in other birds.
A life stuck in a cage is cruel and so unfair to these magnificent beautiful creatures.
They deserve the absolute best!
So if you are interested in a parrot, adopt one because you have the time and energy and if you want to save them from a life stuck behind bars, not solely because they are cute or funny etc.
parrots are a LIFETIME commitment. They can live up to 80+ years!!
I've given up many many things the to give my two parrots the best life they can possibly have!
Please do your research before adopting.
After all, we have our friends, our jobs, and our hobbies.
They only have us💗❗️❗️

    I think so too....I have always had a fear of any type of bird ( my mom was afraid...no terrified of birds and she passed this on to us.) but I love Gotcha ! I even would love to learn how to care for Gotcha and would 'babysit" him if I lived near him ( wherever they live ! ) I think all the animals that Gotcha's mom has have a VERY good life with her, her DH & baby Oliver. I recently went to a bird rescue site ( for the type of bird Gotcha is ) and it made me cry, reading some of the descriptions. People should do a lot of research prior to taking in any animal, bird, dog, cat, hamster, whatever it is because all animals require some type of care. I have a cat "Mason" that I dearly love. Mason is 16 months old and I got him at our local shelter when he was 4 months old. No one wanted him because he had an eye that needed care ( just an eye infection that required eye drops 2x's per day ). The eye issue is all cleared up, and Mason is a wonderful kitty....he is ginger colored and a big boy, so handsome !

    Hi Katey, I hope you don't think I was being critical or un-believing in what you've said about his foot. It is obvious that you take excellent care of him and that he is quite healthy both physically and emotionally. And it is easy to see that Gotha is in absolutely no pain whatsoever. My comment was only meant to explore a possible reason for his foot turning inward which did NOT include an accident or abuse in your care..

    DAT BOI, hand feed him things he can't resist. With LOTS of patience and love he may decide it's ok to let you touch him some. Work with him on a daily basis. I hope he comes out of his shell for you!

    What I did was sit next to the cage with some nuts in my hand. I never looked directly at the parrot but sat calmly and once in a while very slowly eat a nut. He would watch and watch me. I pretended to have no interest in the bird. Then one day I placed a nut on the perch. He grabbed it quickly and ran to the other side of the perch. Each day he came closer to me and one day he took one out of my hand. I'll never forget it! After that we were best friends.

    Cissy2cute, I'm so glad to hear that your bird trusts you now! And that's actually s great strategy. Paying them no attention and just letting them observe you helps them get used to your behavioral patterns. Animals are great at picking up on our moods and are going to want to be around someone who's calm as opposed to excited/aggressive. Since you were calm he knew you meant no harm.

    kroakie4-I also used a similar strategy with a semi-wild horse. It reached a point where I could stroke her neck with a halter. The next stage should have been slowly putting it on her but my landlord was so excited by my progress that I came home one day to find him chasing her because he had no patience and was trying to put a full training body harness on her. She naturally spooked and he ended up chasing her all over the place, yelling his head off. One day with him ruined a month's work of my efforts. She lost a lot of trust in any human after that.

    Red Floyd-Joe, our landlord, was just an impatient person. A retired farmer, he had a heart of gold-rescued many horses from the Sioux Falls auction-but when he saw me stroking Rushetta with a halter he got all excited and one day when I was at school I came home to him chasing after her with half a training harness on. I was just sooo angry and asked him "Joe, why?" But no one could stay angry with him very long. He really was a happy go lucky guy who was fun to be around. I bought my beloved Rocky from him. After that incident, he would introduce me to people as "The lady who tames wild horses". Offered to sell us the trailer we were living in and I regret to this day not buying it. Living on a "small" farm of 80 acres with a herd of mostly semi-wild or formally abused horses would have been heaven. I would have loved to have had more chances to work with the ones that were having problems or simply not fully tamed. Alas, we don't always make the right decisions.
