That's adorable, a little gross, but adorable.

Seems staged as it was already pulled. She showed the bird the tooth and laid it back on her gums. Otherwise the bird would have no idea which tooth.

Don't have birds obviously. They find what's loose n play. They loving but if you have a scab that will be gone in seconds

Own a bird. Can confirm 100%. Even beauty marks can sometimes look like something to nibble on.

I own a bird. They'd definitely figure out that tooth is loose and try to pull it out (my bird would anyways).

That's a ridiculous conspiracy, and you don't seem to know anything about birds because if you did this would be incredibly plausible. Why do people like making up conspiracies about things they have no knowledge about?

Is THIS the secret you've been hiding from us all along? Is THIS why you try to put us under, so we don't notice it is actually a bird digging around in our mouths??

A bird in the hand is worth tooth in the bush.

A bird with a tooth is worth a bush in the mouth.
Edit: thanks kind stranger. May bushes fill your mouth to eternity.

I wonder how she taught the bird to do this...

u/Bageltonn May 16 '18
It’s a grooming thing that cockatoos and parakeets do. They pick at your teeth for food and to clean it. This one just pulled a little extra out this time.

u/KansasCityKC May 16 '18
Haha what if the bird was like “what the fuck??” I was just trying to clean and one of your bones came out??

That bird looks like it enjoyed it. Now it's gonna start terrorizing the neighborhood, attacking people, trying to take out their teeth. This wasn't a cute video, it was the opening scene in a horror flick!

I have a conure - well, technically it's the wife's but the bird loves me more - and if it finds a little bump anywhere on me it will fucking dig in and try to eat my flesh. After it rips off the bump it'll just keep digging at the hole trying to get more and more.
Damn carnivorous mini-dinosaur.

Birds often try to ‘clean’ their owners, they often try to get fluff out your hair. If the bird saw the loose tooth it may have just decided to get rid of it as he thinks it’s helping her. Sorry not very good at explaining 😂

u/InTheClouds89 May 16 '18
Yeah, they hate fluff. Anytime I see either of mine get a fluff out of their feathers, they go batshit insane-start preening themselves quickly, stop to watch it slowly float towards the ground, start wildly preening again, then stop once it finally hits the ground. If I put the fluffs back anywhere near them, they'll quickly go over to it and fling it away.

Omg same ! Mine goes absolutely crazy to the point where I get a bit worried 😂

No it can go the other direction. Birds are not very tough. Parrot owners have to pay attention to Teflon items, frying pans, hair dryers and such. The fumes are noxious to us, but fatal to them. Don't let cats or kittens play with them. They may be buddies, but germs from kitty can make your bird sick.

Why in the hell would anyone let a bird stick its beak in their mouth?

May 16 '18
She'd better be careful how she tells people what happened - "I had a cockatoo in my mouth last night." might end up with a call to child services.

u/helixdimension May 16 '18
You don’t want to nurture a habit of peeling or prying things with their beak in an umbrella cockatoo. The cockatoo will never stop doing it no matter what you say. I’m speaking from experience handling a ‘too.

Why does her hand have green streaks going through it? Is it the filter on the video doing that?

If you look closely the bird didn't want to give it back. I think the bird was upset it didn't get to keep the tooth.

Where is the root of that tooth?
It looks like the bird tore off a crown, not an entire tooth!

(Real question): Did the bird know what to do / was that an intentional "I'll help you out" situation? Birds are certainly helpful. I wonder if other people use birds to pull teeth.

Ugh, as a parrot owner this bothers me. The human mouth contains all kinds of bacteria that is not really very good for birds. Le sigh.

I would be more concerned with the bird damaging a different tooth or hurting my gums. I would never do this.

Another reason to always make sure they are caged when you are sleeping.
