Cockatoo Nails Hilarious ‘Spot-On’ Impression of Cat Brother

Animals have all kinds of quirky and amusing behaviors that can catch us off guard and make us laugh, even when they have no idea they are being funny. Our pets in particular seem to have a natural talent for brightening our day, always finding a way to bring a smile to our faces. Much like people, they sometimes make an effort to blend in because they want to feel like they belong. It is a trait that both animals and humans share, and when we think back to our school days, fitting in often felt extremely important.

Have you ever noticed your dog or even your cat mimicking something you do? Dogs and many cats, much like humans, are social creatures and often mimic those around them to feel connected. This might explain some of the silly things they do—they just want to be like us! And it’s not just dogs; other animals do this too, even species you wouldn’t expect.

For example, there’s a viral video featuring a cockatoo who demonstrates this behavior. Cockatoos are known for their intelligence, often solving puzzles and even imitating human speech. Their lively personalities make them beloved pets. But what happens when a cockatoo lives with a group of animals that are very different from it, like cats?

Well, this particular cockatoo decides the best way to fit in is by mimicking the cats! Just like dogs imitate their human companions, this bird copies the sounds of the cats. Cockatoos have an incredible ability to replicate sounds, and this one chooses to meow! According to Irene Pepperberg, a research associate at Harvard, “In the wild, parrots use their vocal prowess to share important information and fit in with the flock.”

In the video, the cockatoo confidently walks up to the cats and starts meowing. And here’s the best part—it meows so well that it’s hard to tell it apart from an actual cat! The bird struts around, meowing just like one of the group, and the poor cats are clearly baffled. You can almost see their confusion: “Why does this strange feathered thing sound exactly like me?”

The cockatoo even gets bold, sticking its beak right in the cats’ faces, meowing at them as if to say, “I’m one of you!” By the end of the clip, it’s as if the cats have reluctantly accepted this “weird feathered cat” as one of their own. The cockatoo has managed to integrate itself into the group, despite its feathers and beak. It’s no longer the odd one out—it’s part of the family now. And to top it off, it might just meow better than the actual cats!

This hilarious cockatoo’s antics are a perfect reminder of how animals, much like humans, will go to great lengths to fit in with those around them. We can’t wait to see what other impressions this clever bird comes up with next!
