Parrots are known for their vibrant colors and impressive ability to mimic human speech. Their imitations can be so precise that, if you’re not looking directly at them, you might believe an actual person is speaking. While parrots are often seen as adults in aviaries or cages, some rare individuals take the time to raise these colorful creatures from birth.
Johan Devenier, a South African man, has been raising six blue and gold macaws since they were born, and the results are as heartwarming as they are adorable. He shares his journey on TikTok, documenting his experiences with his feathered family—and even a fox. His page is a perfect pick-me-up for anyone in need of a little joy.
In a video compilation shared on Reddit, viewers can follow along as Devenier raises his parrots and introduces them to a nightly routine. Spoiler alert: It’s as cute as it sounds. If only these parrots were wearing tiny pajamas, it would be the ultimate cuteness overload—but alas, it seems there’s no such market for parrot sleepwear.
The video begins with the tiny, pink birds, barely covered in peach fuzz, as Devenier showers them with kisses. As time passes, the birds grow larger, their feathers start to shine in beautiful colors, but the bedtime ritual remains unchanged: beak kisses and tucking in before settling down for the night. Each segment shows the birds getting bigger, but they still eagerly await their nightly dose of affection.
It’s clear that Devenier enjoys showering his macaws with love, and they happily return the affection, patiently waiting for their bedtime story after they’re tucked into bed.
The entire video is unbearably cute and guaranteed to make your heart melt. Check it out here.
