Cockatoo Argues With Mom About Going Outside Like He Pays Rent<\/a> originally appeared on Parade Pets<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Imagine if pets could talk back when we ask them to do something they’d rather not do. Dogs wouldn’t say anything to hurt us (and may even apologize instead of debate), and cats would cut straight to the chase and say every hurtful thing they could think of!<\/p>\n

Some birds, on the other hand, can speak, and there’s only one who comes to mind when I think of big, sassy attitudes: Preston. The argumentative Cockatoo is a fan favorite for his hilarious rants, and this recent clip about going outside is no different.<\/p>\n

It’s not a good day unless @charity.redd7 posts a Preston video, and this one delivers big time! I expect nothing less than diabolical rants<\/a> when it comes to this opinionated bird, because he has opinions \u2014 lots of them \u2014 and he’s going to make sure everyone hears about them!<\/p>\n

It doesn’t matter if he’s mad<\/a> about going outside, taunting other pets with his evil laugh while calling out “bad dog,”<\/a> or going straight to WWE mode<\/a> to keep his toy away from Dad. Preston is beloved for his bold confidence and big feelings.<\/p>\n

He’s like a perpetual teenager, refusing to do anything Mom wants him to, then screaming about it for the whole neighborhood to hear (it’s why we love him)!<\/p>\n

I’m not the only one who looks forward to a new piece of Preston content. Like the many other clips that showcase this sugar and spice Cockatoo’s<\/a> argumentative abilities, people are cracking up over this one \u2014 mostly because he clearly says, “I’m not going!”<\/p>\n

“He swears it\u2019s a setup,” one person wrote. “Mr. Preston, always ‘sassing!'” another added. “Like a toddler… in their own time,” another joked. He never does anything he doesn’t want to do!<\/p>\n

Another noted, “The only way we\u2019ll know if something is wrong with Preston is if he is not arguing with the whole household,” which is the truest thing about this funny boy! He loves to argue and regularly wakes up and chooses chaos<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Now that Preston has blessed this day, may all the good fortune, health, and happiness find you all. If for some reason it doesn’t, I suggest watching a few more of Preston’s rants<\/a>. Even if no other blessings come your way, you’ve always got this mouthy bird to cheer you right up!<\/p>\n
