Some pets are very passionate about guarding their loved ones from intruders. However, we don\u2019t typically think of a Cockatoo<\/a> playing the role of guard dog\u2014but maybe we should!<\/p>\n

Sweet Pea the Parrot<\/a> has been perfecting her \u201cbark\u201d for a while now, and she uses it more than the family\u2019s dog uses his. In a recent TikTok video shared by @theparrotlady, Sweet Pea is pacing back and forth along the kitchen counter, and it\u2019s clear that something is bothering her.<\/p>\n

She is barking up a storm, with her feathers all fanned out, and it\u2019s obvious that something has upset the Cockatoo\u2014but only Sweet Pea is bothered. Mom mentions in the comment section, \u201cSweet Pea saw an unauthorized dog in the backyard<\/a> and was not pleased. She continued to bark even after I\u2019d taken the dog back to my neighbors.\u201d<\/p>\n

Although the video is only 28 seconds long, we\u2019d be willing to bet that the Cockatoo carried on for much longer than that. About halfway through the clip, Mom says, \u201cWhat is going on?\u201d\u2014but this does not deter Sweet Pea. She continues to pace across the counter, hippity-hopping and barking, likely until she feels heard.<\/p>\n

While Sweet Pea is barking, her bird brother Brody can be seen in the background, and he does not look amused. In fact, he appears to be questioning her sanity as the barking continues.<\/p>\n

Thoughts From the Comment Section<\/p>\n

This little guard dog<\/a> (err… bird) has a fun group of followers who just love Sweet Pea and her antics. One viewer suggested, \u201cSweet Pea is tattling on Brody. Brody didn\u2019t do his chores today, but Sweet Pea did, Mom!\u201d And she could be right\u2014maybe the dog in the backyard was just the excuse to get the tattling underway.<\/p>\n

Several fans also noticed Brody in the background and commented, \u201cBrody is definitely judging hard!\u201d and \u201cBrody in the background giving the stink eye like, really man, shush! LOL!\u201d<\/p>\n

Sweet Pea takes her position as the head of household security very seriously. She clearly has everyone\u2019s safety and security as her top priority.<\/p>\n
