Lovely women takes in an endangered bird that somehow got it's wing caught in barbed wire and the muscle had died so the vet said the cockatoo wouldn't be able to fly again. Wildlife authorities want to take him away because he's endangered which is reasonable and understandable but if you watch the video the cockatoo has an obvious bond with the women and it would be just devastating to take him away. Their reason is just but I don't really think it'd work in this situation. They want to put the cockatoo in a breeding program to raise the population #s which yet again, is understandable, but I just don't think the cockatoo would be happy like that. It frustrates me that the authorities aren't looking to find a solution instead they just demand the bird to be taken away. There's always a solution. I have a friend in Australia that has a "pet" (not really pet, he's just in my friend's care) red kangaroo which is illegal to have in Australia. He had rescued the kangaroo as a baby after it's mother had been hit by a car. He ended up raising it and the kangaroo got attached to him and would get EXTREMELY aggressive when taken anywhere else such as a wildlife preservation. (Even more so than male red kangaroos usually are) so they hashed out a deal that the kangaroo could stay on my friend's property just every now and again my friend had to bring him to the preservation for breeding. (Not really sure why though since red kangaroos aren't endangered)
TL;DR: Lady befriends injured cockatoo and wildlife reservation isn't looking for a solution so they can stay together.
On the lighter side of things, have a crow video too!
