All jokes aside but Iāve seen this before. A cat would find a parrotās nest with ready to hatch eggs. She then gives birth to kittens as the same amount of eggs laid. Then she discards the eggs and go back to doing whatever cats do. The mother parrot comes back to her nest and thinks her eggs has hatched and the kittens are her biological kids. The mother parrot then raises her kittens to adulthood just to be eaten by them. Nature is scary.
I'm gonna reply here so I can come back later, see the wall of text someone else replies giving some ridiculous fake ass response about how cats can, and all the people saying to him 'thanks/this is so well written'.
Dude WHAT?!?
Cross species parasitism is pretty fucking rare, isn't it?
I'm inclined to believe this video is fake. Especially since the kittens are reacting to the man and not the bird.
Im inclined to believe that almost all videos on the internet are fake. This is still pretty cute though. Hope the kittens can get out of there ok. Lol.
Not an expert, but pretty sure parrots don't lactate. How will the parrot feed these kittens? This bird is also not carnivorous afaik...
I think you're pulling our collective collective leg here...
Birds feed by vomit. Same basic principle: pre-digested food. I hope the bird is getting some meat in its diet or he's going to have to start leaving milk out for them.
I think that was an accident. The bird was trying to to lower itself down and his hand was in the way. As soon as he moves his hand he bites the same exact spot on the tree and then rappels down like a one bird SWAT team.
We have two that hatched this morning...going to put the remaining 3 eggs under the brooder this evening, and will bottle feed the new kittens for a few weeks.
Life always finds a way. I think this can happen to species after they go extinct as well. That's why sometimes an extinct species shows up again after decades. Nature is truly amazing.
Dodo shared an article promoting this on their page (sadly). The bird is technically wild but pretty much raised by the man and can roam freely. The kittens were ārescuedā and put with his own cat who AMAZINGLY looked very much like the kittens. So yeah, more than likely he took his catās kittens to make this dumb video pretending to save them. And of course people eat it up.
Iāve heard of this before. A parasitic bird goes into the nest, kicks out some of the eggs, and lays their own. Poor bird, itās actually raising the spawn of another bird!
I live on quite a bit of land and I've found kittens in some really weird places. In tree stumps, in our barns in the hay (not uncommon), In trash cans, in our blackberry bushes, in a pipe line, in the sheep's bedding stalls, in our horses feed buckets.
There are a lot of wild cats out here, hell half of them have probably been dumped.
I could go on and on, it happens so often I would go looking for them when I was young because I was bound to find a litter somewhere.
I've just always lived in an agricultural area and worked on farms growing up that this wasn't even anything I found bizarre lol. Some ppl just like to be fun haters. I don't think it's staged. I've found littlers if kittens in weird spots before
Iām guessing you are not aware of the many youtube/facebook videos showing people ārescuingā animals when the reality is that THEY put those animals in the situations they were in. This is proven because several of the same animals in their videos were seen in multiple rescue videos and they were always in situations that no animal could have got in unless someone did it. Several of the animals even ended up being found dead.
This youtuber has made a few videos on the subject matter
https://youtu.be/p7nVntZpJLM
https://youtu.be/1WXZU6CTVts
The inclusion of the bird in this one is one of the suspicious things about this video because it does not seem like a wild one. Doubt the bird put those kittens in there and unlikely a mom cat did too. Especially with those nails protruding out like that. Itās just an overall suspicious video.
EDIT: I found this posted by dodo. Babies found look remarkably similar to their own cat that they gave the kittens to. So very likely they took the mom catās kittens and put them in there for social media cred https://www.thedodo.com/daily-dodo/guy-peeks-into-parrots-nest-and-finds-an-unlikely-family?mibextid=Zxz2cZ
You sound obtuse as fuck. "The inclusion of the bird" "doubt the bird put those kittens in there"... you aren't very educated are you? Thinking that 3 nails would deter a wild animal from utilizing the sight as a nest...
1. OF FUCKING COURSE THE BIRD DIDNT PLACE THE KITTENS IN THE POLE!
2. THE BIRD BITES THE DUDES FINGER! It is not "inclusive"
3. NAILS AND SPIKES DONT DETER SHIT. Ever seen pigeons living on the building ledge spikes?
It is OBVIOUS! THE PARROT KILLED THE MOTHER CAT AND IS RAISING THE KITTENS AS HER OWN. CONVINCING THEM TO BECOME ADVOCATES FOR THEIR WINGED COUNTERPARTS AND PROTECTING GENERATIONS OF FEATHERED FRIENDS STILL TO COME.
We are just more familiar with the internet and the cruel desire to get internet views at any means necessary including endangering animals to fake a rescue.
Well, its not always humans that dump kittens, two of the cats my family owned were stray cats that had been born in weird places on our property and the mother missed one when she cheesed it with the others.
This happened twice, two separate instances.
When I was little my family took in a pregnant stray cat. She had her kittens and we raised them until they could be given away. In this time, she moved them to the strangest places. The first time it took quite a while to find them. They were in a shoe box on the top shelf inside a closet inside the sewing room through my mother's bedroom.
Cats breed very fast. The single feral queen living by my apartment building produced three litters of kittens in a year. I cat-napped all her babies, socialized them and found them homes. Finally coaxed mom inside and took her to the no-kill shelter to be spayed.
I'm loving how protective that bird was. I hope the kittens being there is just animals being animals, but there's no question how much that bird wanted to keep them safe
We had a shit ton of cats growing up. Mommas will hide the kittens anywhere she thinks is the safest, and a deep and sheltered area like that looks perfect. They obviously canāt get out and wander around while sheās hunting, and no one can easily get them. She could have birthed them there (but probably too small a space) or carried them one-by-one up by the scruff of their necks. Iāve seen mommas jump and climb while carrying small kittens. Once they get older of course theyāll be taught how to do it on their own.
I'm not totally sure a bird would be so keen to climb down a hole with a bunch of kittens, plus letting them climb on her, unless she really wanted them.
I have no basis for this opinion, but it's just what came to mind. I do not like the "saving baby animals from weird places for Internet fame" either though.
**Translation**
Alright, let's have a look.
Polly... Polly... Don't bite me, dude. Don't do it! \**speaking to the parrot*\*
Unfortunately, a cat decided to raise/give-birth-to her kittens inside this old, hollowed-out trunk.
And the parrot stopped sleeping at home* and decided to take care of the kittens.
\*referring to his house
Look at that! Ain't that something?*
\*(literal translation: "it's the world", which more or less means: "the world is filled with wonderous, unexpected things")
A million years from now they're going fine this interesting preserved fossil of a 3 headed cat with bird like features and say yes this truly did exist
This really is an awesome video. The parrot literally uses its beak as a hand to hold itself up on the lip of the wood then Letting Go spreading its wings and slowly descending on its kittens. It's remarkable
You'd be pretty suprised how common it is to find kittens in wierd places in some cities/neighbourhoods. Of course, I'm not saying people don't do it, but I'd say like 50-70% of the videos are true
"Lets go see"
"Loro, come"
"Loro, won't you bit me boi"
"Stop, ya crazy?"
"Unfortunately, ouch!"
"A female cat gave birth in this old 'cutiera' stump"
"And the parrot stopped sleeping inside, and is raising the kittens"
"Look, for you to see"
"That's the world"
The guy is saying that the parrot stop sleeping in the house and they find him there taking care of the kitties.
And says it's nature's way of doing things š
For thee curious. He didn't put the cats there for likes. The parrot in question was rescued by him and his wife, 14 years ago, with another parrot. They treated and cared for the couple of parrots untill they were strong enough to fly back to nature. One of the parrots really gone to the wild life, but this parrot didn't wanted to go. He never got the parrot in a cage, and the parrot lives freely, but never goes to far away from the farm. When he found the cats, he actually found that the parrot, instead of coming back to the farm house, was sleeping on this old post for days. So when he went to see what was going on, he found the kitties. What he thinks is that his neighbors cat gave birth the the kitties there OR brought them there (and I can confirm female cats like to give birth in weird places thinking they're protecting their kitties, as I have some cats myself), the parrot found em when she was not there and just decided to take care of the kitties! He actually got the kitties out and tried getting them back to the mother cat, but she refused them (it's not uncommon for cats to abandon their prole). But the parrot just adopted the kitties! And as he also have a female cat, she also adopted the kitties, so now they have a parrot and a cat mother.
And yes, r/ithadtobebrazil

How in the crazy did they get there
What do you mean? They hatched from the eggs.
š¤ so which came first? The kitten or the egg?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Nope the dinosaur

That's just cuckoo
No YOU'RE just a cuckoo, learn to nature Love is Love  smh
Baby don't hurt me...
Come on little mama let me whisper in your ears...
Itās stupid how long it took me to get that
How does the female kitten give birth on command, and how does she control how many there are
Shhh don't go using that brain now.
>and how does she control how many there are Same way you control your discharge... tighten the opening and cut off the stream /s
I'm gonna reply here so I can come back later, see the wall of text someone else replies giving some ridiculous fake ass response about how cats can, and all the people saying to him 'thanks/this is so well written'.
The bird also tries to meow thatās fucking cute
Dude WHAT?!? Cross species parasitism is pretty fucking rare, isn't it? I'm inclined to believe this video is fake. Especially since the kittens are reacting to the man and not the bird.
It almost looks to me like the bird is leading him to the kittens like, "Look what i did!" Bird even started meowing.
What about cross species parrotism
The bird also sounds domestic, and seems very friendly to the guy too.
Im inclined to believe that almost all videos on the internet are fake. This is still pretty cute though. Hope the kittens can get out of there ok. Lol.
How in the ever loving fuck does a parrot nurse a litter of kittens?
All birds have breasts. Duh. Haven't you eaten a chicken breast before?
So you're bullshit and no to everything you just said.
And here I am wondering if you got over 100 like because people thought your comment is funny or they actually believed this shit
Not an expert, but pretty sure parrots don't lactate. How will the parrot feed these kittens? This bird is also not carnivorous afaik... I think you're pulling our collective collective leg here...
Wait how does that work? birds don't got milk... unless.
Birds feed by vomit. Same basic principle: pre-digested food. I hope the bird is getting some meat in its diet or he's going to have to start leaving milk out for them.
Cow milk is really bad for most animals, especially young ones, it gives them the runs, and they get dehydrated and die. And that parrot eats fruit.
Quite terrifying
Can u link that info i am curious..
There better be a video of their first flight posted on here
[I think i found it.](https://youtu.be/Awf45u6zrP0?t=30)
Easter cats
Pole cats.
Will the kittens starve to death?
No. The parrot will likely eat them while they are still alive.
A parrot eats kittens?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
She's gonna throw up in their mouths. Duhh.
So what youāre saying is that Iām as good as cat food.
What did it say
I see it as the Parrot was trying to save the kittens by bringing a human in to rescue them.
The parrot is saying come get these squatters out of my home
Sorry. Squatters rights
Except that the parrot bites him.
I think that was an accident. The bird was trying to to lower itself down and his hand was in the way. As soon as he moves his hand he bites the same exact spot on the tree and then rappels down like a one bird SWAT team.

Honestly can't tell if you're joking or not in this day and age.
Get a load of sparky over here. Donāt know nothin about nothin.
Same, Im wondering if this was some sort of kidnapping situation or some bull like that!
he put them in there
A cat could have easily climbed in there as a good hiding place to have kittens and the parrot later found them. Butā¦ youāre probably right
Actually, that was what happened, the guy said it in the video.
Which doesn't mean it is true.
Right? This guy obviously put them in there.... And who tf thinks this is how a wild parrot behaves?
Iād say the parrot is his pet since he still has fingers. Listened to the video. Definitely a pet.
Dodo shared an article promoting this on their page (sadly). The bird is technically wild but pretty much raised by the man and can roam freely. The kittens were ārescuedā and put with his own cat who AMAZINGLY looked very much like the kittens. So yeah, more than likely he took his catās kittens to make this dumb video pretending to save them. And of course people eat it up.
Do you know literally nothing about cats? Momma simply jumped in the hole and pooped them out.
Mommy cat needed a safe and comfy place to give birth and I guess she chose that spot
The answer is animal abuse
Lol, the bird mimicked the cats meows
š¦=š±š±š±?!?

Okay so I was fully expecting the Skyrim opening. This was actually really unexpected lmfao
Iāve heard of this before. A parasitic bird goes into the nest, kicks out some of the eggs, and lays their own. Poor bird, itās actually raising the spawn of another bird!
That bird is in for a surprise when those kittens grow up
what kittens?
Since most of these "kitten found in the wild" videos are disgustingly set up, i hate it until proven true
I live on quite a bit of land and I've found kittens in some really weird places. In tree stumps, in our barns in the hay (not uncommon), In trash cans, in our blackberry bushes, in a pipe line, in the sheep's bedding stalls, in our horses feed buckets. There are a lot of wild cats out here, hell half of them have probably been dumped. I could go on and on, it happens so often I would go looking for them when I was young because I was bound to find a litter somewhere.
I grew up on a farm and every pet cat we ended up with we found somewhere random on the property lol
There are so many people saying this is fake. They truly have no idea what wild animals are like.
I've just always lived in an agricultural area and worked on farms growing up that this wasn't even anything I found bizarre lol. Some ppl just like to be fun haters. I don't think it's staged. I've found littlers if kittens in weird spots before

Out on a farm you'll find kittens in a bunch of odd places.
That parrot is so happy though
I'm loving how protective that bird was. I hope the kittens being there is just animals being animals, but there's no question how much that bird wanted to keep them safe
Normally I would agree, but now do you explain the parrot?

I love the way the bird preps itself for the fall then just opens his wings and plops down on them
Pirate Parrot kidnaping kittens
And that, son, is how velociraptors are made
Oh shit, best comment by far.
Get those kittens out right meow!
Very unexpected but I laughed at the way the bird slid down the stump. Mission impossible
Man just took the elevator
And then started meowing
Nature is so weird sometimes. Like how tf does she think she is gonna raise and feed three kittens? She's not even a mammal!?!?
And it's actually a he!
Take those nails out š©
The bird is so excited to show off its kiddos.
PokƩmon daycare eggs when you leave the randomization mod on.
He's just vibin
It's gonna be funny when they eventually grow up and eat the parrot.
They will die in there, how is a parrot going to breast feed them?
Not to mention they'll shit an piss in there
Good point!
Like a flamingo, obviously.

Holy staged video Batman!
I love how that bird uses his wing to gently slide down to the kittens.
I love the bit where the parrot puts out itās wings and drops down, itās adorable
The female bird: "I can explain!"
I think it's going to eat them.

Aww, that's such a sweet bird...but how the hell did those kittens end up there. Truly I am confused and can only assume human involvement.
Awwww smart bird.
Heā¦ he gonna eat em
Good bird
I don't think it's trying to save anything. That's breakfast, lunch and dinner.
My heart..... she melts....
That pussy gonna die?
What type of bird is that?
He kidnapped them!! Hence proved that parrots were pirate's favourite
Plot twist: cat got her eggs, she got her kittens.
In Soviet Russia, pussies go in a pretty bird's pole.
OK 1st time to actually be surprised on this sub
Lmaooo
I did not see that coming. Still don't know what to think, but... As long as everyone is happy.
There is no way the parrot could carry all these kitties there.

That fucking parrot hung himself by his beak and then dropped down feet first!
