If you ever needed proof that rescue birds form deep emotional bonds with their people, this Hyacinth Macaw delivers it in the cutest way possible. In the precious clip, the little blue bird is nesting inside a small cooler on a table, tucked in like he is in his own personal bird apartment. He is quiet, cozy, and completely hidden until he hears one very specific sound: his human mama’s voice.
The second she calls out to him in the softest little baby tone, his tiny head pops straight up, eyes bright, looking around like he just heard the love of his life. You can tell how adored he is by the way she talks to him, and you can tell how safe he feels by how instantly he responds. Just check out this adorable interaction.
The caption on the precious TikTok video shared by @parrot_stars reads, “I will never take these opportunities for granted. I am so grateful for this job and these experiences. Sharing my home with a baby Hyacinth is an honor.”
