Mother-daughter relationships can be loving and beautiful but they can also be complicated. Sometimes they're both—like in the case of Porscha the Cockatoo and her mom.
We’re not sure exactly what's going on in this hilarious clip uploaded to TikTok by Porscha the Cockatoo, but there definitely appears to be some unfinished business between the bird and her human mama.
“You better get back here, Mom,” Porscha is all but saying as she waddles briskly in pursuit of her parent. “We gotta have a talk.”
What could've caused this Cockatoo to get so fired up? It might be any run-of-the-mill issue a Cockatoo faces. Maybe she’s had it with those pellets she’s been eating for breakfast. So boring!
In the wild, Cockatoos primarily consume a varied diet of seeds, nuts, fruits, berries, and roots. Some species also include insects and their larvae in their diet, particularly when nesting.
Speaking of the wild, maybe Porscha is just looking to go out and have a good time!
“But Mom,” we imagine her thinking, “all the other birds are outdoors. A girl just wants to let her feathers fly once in a while!”

Actually, Porscha probably just wants to stay in and be with her pet parents. Cockatoos are known for their strong bonds with their human moms and dads. They are highly affectionate birds that can become very attached to their humans, sometimes even to the point of becoming possessive. They crave physical contact and will often seek out their pet parents for cuddles and attention.
“Imagine having a Velociraptor running after you trying to eat your achilles,” wrote Porscha’s mom as she's being followed. (For those of us who weren’t paying attention to dinosaur lessons in elementary school, the Velociraptor was a turkey-sized predator.)

Certainly, when everything is said and done, it’s Porscha’s father who is responsible for all the mischief!
"Go fetch your mom!" he encourages Porscha.
My dad is going to be in trouble tonight. More like he’ll end up with the birds instead of being scolded.
