Rescue Birds Sightseeing in Their Stroller Are So Cute People Can't Take It
Just when you think you've seen everything, we bet you've never seen a stroller designed for birds. It exists! And now footage of one pet owner taking her rescue Cockatiels for a stroll has people cheering online.
It just goes to show the length that people will go to great lengths so their pets can have something nice. This is love! As the video online proves.
Nothing to see here — nope. It's just a totally normal human pushing a baby stroller filled with birds. In the footage shared by @forrestthetinycockatiel, it shows the many Cockatiels chilling in the pram on the way to the park.
"What an adventure!" the video's caption reads. "We went to a park yesterday that we'd never been to before and it was so pretty!"
It was actually pretty cool. At one point the Cockatiel owners were able to separate the carrier so that the birds could rest on a bench with them.
"We met a whole bunch of people who wanted to meet us and take our picture! I had no idea we were famous!" the caption states.
Some people in the comments section praised the bird lovers for taking their babies on an adventure. "I think this is FABULOUS! Those lucky Cockatiels!! Good job!" one person praised. "So well behaved too! Love this," another person wrote. "Good job! Keep it up, not many people out there doing that kind of work! Good on ya!" someone else chimed in. "I love this. What a great way to let them safely experience the outdoors," another commenter gushed.
There were some people who were critical of the bird owners, however. They thought the Cockatiels should be allowed to free fly. But there's always a reason for these things, as the bird owners explained in the thread.
"I wish all birds could fly free. But that is just not possible for these domestic birds," they explained.
It's not a risk that the Cockatiels would fly away, but the birds have "no wild survival skills."
"The rescue I volunteer with (and who originally rescued these birds) exists BECAUSE these birds can't survive in the wild," the pet owner pointed out. They also pointed out that so many birds get lost, injured, or seriously hurt from being allowed to free fly, and it's just not a risk they're willing to take. Instead, the birds are allowed to experience the outside safely, with protection from the elements and predators.
"I WISH these birds (and all birds) could be free to fly," the pet owners added. "But that is not the reality we live in."
