Feather had spent 15 years alone in a cage in that basement, with no toys, stimuli, or other birds. She was rescued by this family at age 52 and lived 3 1/2 beautiful years with them. RIP Beautiful Feather 🙏🙏🙏

Feather saved up all her love for her final burst of beautiful life. RIP winged angel.

Sadly being kept in a basement likely didn't help poor Feather. They are generally, dank, musty places with little to no daylight. So glad he was put in touch with this loving woman and her sweet little girl. It would seem that his last 3 years were his best 3 years. RIP gorgeous Feather.

And its sure easy to call someone elses treatment neglectful but i didnt hear in what way...... From the look of the bird it couldnt have lived THAT bad of a life to be in that good of a shape and such a well behaved and social bird.

I was hoping the feather would live a long long time with this little girl to take care of her after her mother could no longer do it. It makes me so upset that evil humans take the lives away from innocent animals and torture them like that because that was pure torture I can't even imagine solitary confinement for an innocent being like this so full of love. I am very grateful for these people for loving her and giving her a good loving home where she wasn't in a cage but I have such a hard time watching things like this because now I'm crying and I'm so sad😢

I wouldn't be sad. Feather left the past behind and lived in the moment. People should rehome the pets they no longer are willing or able to care for,not lock them away. Please if anyone has a pet they are neglecting, please don't leave them to wither and die. Find a home where they will be loved or find someone who can help you do that. Pets are a commitment.

Not only did you give Feather a proper life before she ‘flew the coop’, you taught Sofia how to be a loving human to animals. She may only recollect Feather from photos and stories when she herself is an adult, but the love, compassion, joy, empathy, and trust that they shared will positively guide her decisions and actions for the rest of her days. Well done, Mum and Dad❣️❣️

My cockatoos love children and babies. They are so gentle with them. Just love being with them.

I rescued two beautiful parakeets from the back room of a hot stop and gas store in Las Vegas, they were abandoned by their owner and the store employee was trying to give them away. I knew of a woman whose mentally challenged older son had lost his bird to old age and I gave her family the parakeets...what a God send. They bought them a new cage, toys, food and gave them so much love...her son was SO happy and so were the birds. He named them Snow White and Cinderella, lol... I will never forget them.

This was the cutest thing ever. Feather was such a beautiful sweet soul. RIP sweet Feather. The world won't be the same without you. 😞

God bless them all. RIP Feather. 😢

Thank you for showing Feather the loving & tender care she so richly deserved!!! My heart feels very sad that she only had those three years with you because I'm sure they were three of her best years of life!!! God bless you Stephanie & your darling little Sophia❣☀

This video was so great, so heartwarming. And then BAM ... "in loving memory of Feather" ???????? It would be nice to the people who watched this video and felt so touched to be given just a tiny explation of what happened to Feather. Watching the video, I was telling myself "oh it's great, these birds live a very long time, that little girl will not suffer the pain of loosing it like it could be with dogs that don't live very long. I was imagining that little girl in the future - at 20 years, still having that wonderfull bird and then ... BAM ! Could we have a minimum information on what happened ? I hope your little girl has gone through that loss without too much pain.

Most likely some type of illness. Yes these birds are very long lived. 60-70yrs... many outlive their owners, esp if the owner was an adult at the time of acquisition. But birds, as with many "wild" species that haven't undergone decades of selective breeding by humans, are very good at hiding outward signs of serious illness. It's a survival mechanism to help avoid being targeted by predators. As a result, seriously ill birds often aren't taken to a vet until it's way too late.

I lost it when she pulled the blanket to reveal Feather hiding underneath it to cuddle with Sofia 😂

Although sad, beautiful feather passed away as part of a wonderful family who absolutely loved her. She knew it because she loved them back. I'm happy she spent 3 years knowing that kind of compassion and care. xxx

Oh I love Feather and thank you for adopting her. She needed love and wants to give love. the sweetest.

Oh Feather, I wish you didn't have to leave so soon, but the last three years I know you felt loved. Thank you Stephanie and Sophia, for sharing this magical but bittersweet time with Feather.🌈💕🕊👍

Such a beautiful story & bond Feather and Sophia had! So glad that for the last 3 or so years of her life, Feather got to experience what a truely loving, caring and welcoming family is! Going from a neglected bird in someone's basement to Sophia's best friend, baby sitter & guardian I'm sure filled a void in her heart that she needed, wanted & definitely deserved! This one will for sure stick with me & makes you realize how kindness, a little love & compassion Is what all animals & humans alike really need, want & deserve as part of their lives both to receive and give to others !

So sorry about Feather! She lived her best life and her fondest time was with your daughter. She will be deeply missed! 😂❤😊

3 years of pure love after so many years hidden in the shadows. So glad Feather got to get a happy ending, however short it was. Your daughter is a bird whisperer. What an absolutely devine connection they had.

I’m in complete tears! In my mind I had Sophia growing up with Feather since they can live so long. I’m so so sorry for you both. At least Sophia and Feather were able to share that short time. You saved Feather and Feather gave Sophia the gift of unconditional love and dedication from another species. This is so incredibly special.

Thank you for giving Feather a family for 3 years.Cockatoos are very noisy, cuddly, intelligent, they like to keep their family (flock) together and love the people that love them back.Because of these traits, people lose interest and they become abused and ignored. If you are committed like this family, a bird will be a family member, if not , please don't buy a bird.We have a cockatoo and she is velcro and very noisy, but we love her so much. When she says, " I love you, " she means it !

Thank for sharing this precious video of your daughter and Feather. Thank yiu fir rescuing Feather .She was so loving and special ❤❤
