Andrea (@andreac2350) is an animal lover with a houseful of pets, including several birds. She recently brought home Levi, a 9-year-old Blue Macaw<\/a> who’s already made himself right at home. While playing on his new perch, however, he learned the hard way that sometimes it matters where you’re standing.<\/p>\n

Watch as Levi decides to break a branch<\/a> with his powerful beak without realizing he’s put himself in a very bad spot. He works hard to snap it, then seems genuinely surprised when he nearly falls! As Andrea pointed out, play stupid games, win stupid prizes.<\/p>\n

We couldn’t help but laugh because we knew what was going to happen before it actually did. And Levi probably thought he knew what he was doing, when clearly he had no idea!<\/p>\n

Viewers Knew Exactly What Was Coming<\/p>\n

Like us, viewers got a kick out of watching the Parrot<\/a> make a bad decision. @Dallas shared a cartoon of a woman sawing through a branch while sitting on the end of it and joked, “Genuinely him,” earning nearly 78k likes.<\/p>\n

@Madeline Lewis pointed out, “‘AHHHH’ as if he didn’t do it, lol!” Andrea replied, “That was my exact thought!”<\/p>\n

Commenter @Aby Farrey admitted, “I was so worried about the fall, and realized he was a bird.”<\/p>\n

We laughed when @Generated Dakota shared, “You got it on video!! I’m so jealous\u2014I just end up with an angry blue chicken walking up to me, lol!”<\/p>\n

Seems that Levi had a solid plan right up until gravity got involved!<\/p>\n
