Adorable Quaker Parrot Is Absolutely Smitten With Dog and It’s Just Too Cute originally appeared on PetHelpful.
Sometimes, TikTok serves up something so oddly delightful, it feels scripted. Or so ‘on the nose’ with my inner desires, that it feels as though it was downloaded directly from my brain. In this case, it hit both marks and, it’s a bright green Quaker parrot gently romancing a very patient Dachshund pup.
The parrot kisses, whispers sweet nothings, and sings. This video has been making the rounds, and for good reason. It’s incredibly heartwarming and wholesome.
How patient is that pup? It’s clear, as they lie there calmly, that they’re used to being the object of this bird’s affection. Seeing the bird cozy up to him (with such a surprising level of devotion and comfort) it becomes obvious that this is something of a routine for the two of them. Then what started as a simple ‘cute animals’ moment quickly becomes something more: a tiny display of loyalty and devotion that’s hard to look away from.

Native to South America, Quakers have become popular pets in the United States, thanks to their playful personalities and strong social bonding. In the wild, they construct massive communal nests that can house multiple families of birds, which is a rare behavior among parrots.

They’re called the ‘comedians of the bird world‘ and are known for hoarding, nesting, playing and learning tricks.
They are intelligent creatures who are well known for being highly social. They can recognize the voices of the humans around them, and never forget them. They tend to bond strongly with just one person. Their bonding instincts are so strong, in fact, that they’ve been known to form lifelong attachments to humans and to other birds. In this case, it happened with a particularly mellow dachshund.

While the video may seem like just another quirky internet moment, it highlights something sincere that we’ve explored a lot in my other stories lately: animals, too, form bonds in unexpected ways.
It defies categories, species and expectations. Whether it’s affection, friendship, or something we don’t fully understand, these moments remind us that companionship isn’t limited by language or biology. Sometimes, a bird and a dog just find comfort in each other. And that, in its own quiet way, is the most beautiful thing ever.
