Stubborn Cockatoo Throws Adorable Temper Tantrum to Avoid Cage
Any pet owner knows that animals have their own personalities, but some take expressing their opinions to a whole new level. One feisty Cockatoo named Pebble is proof of this, as she throws an outrageously funny fit when asked to go back into her cage. Her reaction has captivated viewers worldwide, making her a viral sensation.
A Bird with an Attitude
Pebble the Cockatoo isn’t your average pet bird. She has a bold personality and an extensive vocabulary—some of which includes a few choice words. In an amusing video, Pebble’s owner gently tries to coax her into returning to her cage, but the rebellious bird isn’t having it.
The moment her owner tells her “no,” Pebble unleashes a bubbling string of chatter, complete with dramatic flapping and pacing. Some of what she says is hard to decipher, but one thing is clear—she’s not going anywhere without a fight!

Spunky Comebacks and Sass
As the conversation between Pebble and her owner continues, the Cockatoo’s attitude only grows. At 2:43 into the video, her owner asks, “Do you have an attitude?” Without hesitation, Pebble fires back with an unmistakably confident “Ya, that’s right!” This bird isn’t afraid to speak her mind!
The sass continues as Pebble argues her case, unrelenting in her refusal to be confined. Her tone even changes as she gets more worked up, fluttering around in protest. The scene resembles a full-blown toddler tantrum, minus the tears!

A Happy Ending for Pebble
While the video is hilarious, Pebble’s story has had a bumpy journey. Sadly, she has been passed from home to home over the last 20 years. However, she is now in a loving and permanent home where she is cherished. Her big personality, although high-maintenance at times, is what makes her so special.
Owning a Cockatoo is a commitment that requires patience and understanding. These highly intelligent and social birds need daily interaction, and Pebble is no exception. Her antics, though mischievous, highlight just how incredible and unique parrots can be.

Cockatoos: The Talkative Parrots
Cockatoos belong to the parrot family and share their talent for mimicking sounds, including speech. While African Grey Parrots are known for their near-perfect imitation of human voices, Cockatoos have their own unique way of communicating. Their words are often mixed with expressive body movements and, in Pebble’s case, a lot of attitude!
