Arguably, no birds are &#8220;easy,&#8221; but Cockatoos in particular are one of the toughest species to care for. They&#8217;re loud, demanding, a little scary, and downright dangerous if they&#8217;re not treated right.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">On Saturday, July 19th, one Cockatoo showed off that they&#8217;re always crazy, even when treated like kings. When he got a little angry at his parents, he went full &#8220;possessed demon chicken&#8221; on them. It was truly a sight to behold:<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@charliejuniorcockatoo\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Charlie Jr. the Cockatoo;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Charlie Jr. the Cockatoo<\/a> is one of my personal favorites. You literally never know what this guy is going to do next, but you can almost always guarantee that whatever it is is not going to be what you expected.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><a href=\"https:\/\/paradepets.com\/pet-news\/cockatoo-keeps-parents-apart-like-toddler\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Related: Cockatoo\u2019s Attempt To Keep Mom and Dad Apart Is True Toddler Life;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Related: Cockatoo\u2019s Attempt To Keep Mom and Dad Apart Is True Toddler Life<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Charlie is a 25-year-old rescue Cockatoo who lives with parents around his age. His mom was the one who really wanted him, but he&#8217;s decided that his dad is the one he loves most of all. It&#8217;s a little rude! Even still, mom adores him and puts up with his tantrums every single day.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">For example, on this day, he decided that no one in the world was allowed to use the stairs. Trying to step on Charlie&#8217;s stairs resulted in possessed demon chicken-like squawking. Charlie is not afraid to bite, either: once, he bit right <a href=\"https:\/\/paradepets.com\/pet-news\/cockatoo-caught-nibbling-on-moms-burberry-handbag\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:through mom&#039;s designer bag.;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">through mom&#8217;s designer bag.<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">They put up with it purely because of his moments of sweetness. When he&#8217;s sweet, there&#8217;s absolutely nothing better:<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Charlie is pretty much a classic Cockatoo: they&#8217;re basically feathered Sour Patch Kids. Even if they&#8217;re well-loved and you take care of them, they&#8217;re going to have their moments. A Cockatoo having a tantrum does not mean you&#8217;re doing a bad job!<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Making sure they have enough to eat, fresh water, and plenty of playtime can help lessen the likelihood of full-blown meltdowns. Even so, it won&#8217;t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.scarlettsparrotessentials.co.uk\/blog\/post\/how-to-keep-a-cockatoo-quiet-at-night\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:make them quiet!;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \"> make them quiet!<\/a> Cockatoos are loud when they&#8217;re happy, too.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Charlie definitely is.
