Whether you have a dog of your own or prefer to scroll through endless canine videos on social media, it doesn’t take long to see how loving and affectionate dogs can be. Even cats can be cuddly with their favorite people, but did you know that birds can be, too?
Folks tend to think of pet birds as talkative, independent, and even sassy, but on June 3, one Umbrella Cockatoo proved that feathered friends can be affectionate, too. Chet would be her dad’s shadow if she could, but sometimes she prefers to cuddle with him like a human baby instead.
Just wait until you see them! This is the kind of love that every human and animal deserves.

This is truly priceless! I could watch this on repeat over and over again, and I don’t think it would ever get old.
The way Chet tucks her head gently into her dad’s chest melts my heart, though I can only imagine how swoon-worthy this moment must be for the bird’s dad. Just like a commenter named Diana said, “cuddling with your animals is the best!”
