Emotional Cockatiel Demands Smooches By Mimicking Kissing Sounds

Sunny is an unusual cockatiel that grasps language and doesn’t only mimic speech. He often gives people and animals commands to do things rather than vice versa, because he likes to be in charge. One of the many things he does is call others over when he wants their company.

In this video, Sunny is sitting on a table, interacting with his humans. The cute parrot tries to mimic speech and calls the three-year-old little girl Nina over from across the table. Apparently, he couldn’t resist her cuteness so he calls her over and demands kisses! Can you believe this guy?

Listen as this friendly parrot calls Nina to come over by saying ‘come here, come mere, mere, mere’, so that when the little girl approaches him he starts making a kissing noise, which means that he wants to receive smooches! How adorable!

This overly affectionate cockatiel loves to get kisses and cuddle with owners. This is the most popular pet bird variety in the world, second to the budgie. Maybe they are not known for their ability to learn tricks or to ‘talk’, but it is not totally unheard of for a cockatiel to whistle back to it’s companion.

Cockatiels are known as very sociable birds, so they might get depressed if you leave them alone for long periods of time. They may hit it’s head against the cage, pull its feathers, refuse to eat, or become angry. You may not think parrots are very affectionate, but the truth is quite the contrary! This loving parrot loves kisses and literally wants to shower his owner with kisses and love!

How can you say no to this precious bird when you can clearly hear him say ‘Come here, mere’ and proceeds making kissing sounds? Nina, give that bird his kiss already!
