This Parrot Could Fool You into Thinking She's a Human
Timothy Roberts
One family found this out all too well when they adopted a parrot. She is three years old and has become such an interesting part of the family that they had to make a video about her.

In fact, Cosmo picked up the habit of plucking her own feathers, which is something that she has struggled with since that time. They decided to take a chance and bring her into the home, and they did so for a very special reason.
A Beautiful Introduction
When they first met Cosmo, she said: "Hi, I'm Cosmo, what's your name?"
It was such an interesting interaction that was so humanlike, they couldn't help but bring her home. The problem was, they didn't really know anything about raising a bird.
Immediately, Cosmo's human mom looked into everything they could and couldn't do with a parrot. This included some specific foods they couldn't eat, which she was surprised to learn.

Cosmo Shows Her Stripes
More than likely, you have seen this type of parrot in videos before. Often, they are raging, and they don't always have the cleanest language.
They admit that Cosmo also falls into that category, but they kept the video clean for our benefit.
I have to admit, it's absolutely hilarious to hear Cosmo talking. She even talks to Google, telling it to turn the lights on when she wants. I think this would be difficult to handle.
If Cosmo is not getting the attention she needs, she pretends she has the sniffles. She will also cough a very human cough, and continue to do it until you pay attention to her.
One of the funnier things they told us about and showed us was when she told the family cat to 'shut up.' I wonder where she learned that?
In the end, Cosmo is having the time of her life. She still does some plucking, and a vet said that it is very hard for them to stop such a habit.
Cosmo is like their own daughter, and she even tears up when she talks about her. Let's hope they have many happy years together.
