“Watch my puppy grow up with his parrot mom,” says the caption shared with the heartwarming clip, which has already received over 500,000 views, more than 38,000 likes, and hundreds of comments from viewers who enjoyed the scene.
“This is so cute. This is how I imagine heaven. I love animals,” stated an Instagram user. “This is truly one of the sweetest things I’ve ever seen. It makes me smile,” commented another. “I love their bond, so special!” said a third internet user.
According to the website Wag!, dogs and birds can be good friends like the duo in the video. However, experts emphasize the importance of owners supervising interactions between animals and not leaving them alone together.
Even if your dog has been trained to get along with birds, all dogs are descended from wolves, and while man’s best friend has been domesticated for thousands of years, they still have, to some extent, the hunting instincts of their ancestors.
