Cockatoo's Dramatic Reaction to Hearing Fireworks Is Totally Oscar-Worthy

Cockatoo's Dramatic Reaction to Hearing Fireworks Is Totally Oscar-Worthy originally appeared on Parade Pets. Pets and fireworks have always been a little bit of an iffy combination. Some pets don't mind them, but for the most part, they're something that most pets hate. It's not their fault: they're scary, they smell weird, and they produce really weird light. Fireworks are just not cool! One Cockatoo took her dislike for fireworks to a new level recently. Up until she heard them go off, she was basically invincible, running her mouth to her mom. When it did go off, though... no more tough parrot! Lucy the Cockatoo has got to be one of the silliest girls in the world. As soon as that poor bird heard that sound, she was done for!Lucy is a very well-loved Moluccan Cockatoo. She's gorgeous, so she gets plenty of appreciation, and she has a big family who all think she's absolutely hilarious. She likes to laugh with them (or at them, I'm really not sure), and she likes getting head scratches from everyone. In a life full of love, though, there's bound to be something you don't like. For Lucy, that thing turned out to be fireworks. They were just having a good time outside, and she was speaking her mind when someone (very rudely) set one off! Poor Lucy! She had to play dead, and ever since then, she's been slowly becoming a firework: Cockatoos may look like they're not scared of anything, but that's just not true. Birds are generally very easy to startle, and startling a bird can legitimately be dangerous. A single startle most likely won't kill a bird, but sustained stress absolutely could. That's why it's so important to monitor your bird and identify signs of stress as quickly as you can. The sooner you take away stressors, the sooner birds start feeling better. Lucy is totally fine: it was just a few fireworks. She just loves to bring the drama! 🐶🐾🐾 Cockatoo's Dramatic Reaction to Hearing Fireworks Is Totally Oscar-Worthy first appeared on Parade Pets on Jun 7, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade Pets on Jun 7, 2025, where it first appeared.
