Birds don’t have the reputation for being affectionate. But that doesn’t mean they don’t love. A Cockatoo on the internet certainly proves it.
They were caught on camera pining for their owner. And the sweet way they ask about their “daddy” has people getting emotional online.
Poor Penny. She really, really wanted to know where her dad was.
As the video posted on her TikTok page @pennythecockatoo shows, the moody bird was staring outside when she lamented that her owner was nowhere to be seen.
“What’s the matter, pretty girl. Huh?” the Cockatoo’s female owner asked from off-screen.

“I don’t know,” the bird replied. But she did know. Perhaps she was being coy. “Where’s dad?” she said. “Where’s daddy?” she asked.
“Daddy will be back,” the bird mama assured her pet. But that wasn’t a good enough answer for Penny.
“I’m mad at you,” she said. “I miss daddy”/
Awww, she’s just a girl who loves her dad. She was really worried too.
Commenters felt for Penny, who seemed so sad. “Awww .. still daddy’s little girl,” one person wrote in the comments section. “You better get daddy!!” another person demanded. “Awww, they all love their daddy,” a third commenter gushed. “Sweet Penny,” one person chimed in.
