Need a favor from experienced too owners

[atvchick95]

I know the problem..... but the people are my boyfriends sister, niece and brother in law So i can't but in, when I do they don't listen to me - I get the famous " you don't know anything " looks YET if it wasn't for me they wouldn't of had the 1st or 3rd cockatoo they own!

but I can tell just by these videos They are NOT watching the birds body language and that is why he keeps chasing my b/f's niece

but maybe some one with Experience can Message her..... and see if she'll listen..... WITH OUT bringing me into it what so ever I don't need drama from his family, I have enough of it in my own family

they refuse to listen to me I'm about to go postal on them BUT keep holding back because I don't want to be the "trouble maker"

this video you can tell very well they are ignoring the body language Dunkin (the bird) is staring her (the niece) down not paying attention to his kelp or anything else

YouTube - Cockatoo Chase


this one is a little hard to see his eyes but i'm sure they're ignoring the fact he wants to be left alone at the moment

YouTube - jenni5656's Channel

but i am hoping if other people who have experience with too's talk to her Maybe then they'll listen

I think they think I have no experience since i only fostered them for like 5 months. But it doesn't mean I have NO experience. I didn't have this one,but I had Sunny and his cage mate Charlie(went to a different home) and I had NO problems with either one of them! Sunny NEVER plucked at my house but sure did at theirs.

but again please don't mention me! just say you were browsing you tube or something

thanks

I left a message on the first vid.

In the second one, she's giving that bird all kinds of drama reward!

I know, Dawn! He loves the reaction he is getting. She is still screaming, "NO" when his back is turned to her.

 

[atvchick95]

Thanks.

I've tried telling them how to properly have too's til i was blue in the face. but they're the "know it all's" of his family and since i'm just his Girlfriend I don't really have a place

but ya know i'm the one with all the birds, and have done all the research yet they some how know more then me They have only had Sunny for a year, Dunkin for almost a year and Trinket for several months. Yet They know everything there is to know about them

Giving him boxes to play in is what starts the whole thing.

Giving him boxes to play in is what starts the whole thing.

yes a nesting too is something to be careful of

Even someone who has no too experience like me can see that bird is not happy in that first one. I think it's horrible the way she taunts him.

Thing is those of us that search out forums like this one are open to advice.

Until they want the dynamic to change, it won't.

I said in my comment that that was one nesty Too! LOL

I give Hootie boxes to destroy but he doesn't act nesty with them. The second he ever starts will be the last time I give him one

 

[Bokkapooh]

Perhaps you should invite them here? So us 'too folk can help them out?

Say something like: " I know an AMAZING bird forum, that can help you with advice and everything you need to know to have a well behaved cockatoo"etc, or whatever works their float to get them over here?

I tried to look at videos but they have been removed.

 

[thebirdnerds]

I tried to view the video but it said it was removed. I would love to help give advice though. Sorry

 

[cntrymeadow]

It was removed because people did leave comments.
Im assuming they didnt want to hear what anyone said and removed the videos.
Too bad.
They could have learned a lot.
