Cockatoo Hops with Excitement Watching Neighborhood Kids Play and It's Too Cute originally appeared on Parade Pets.
There’s nothing worse than not being able to join friends and family for a good time. Whether you’re out of town, have a previous engagement, or are just feeling a bit under the weather, no one wants to miss out!
But sometimes — like a fish out of water or a deer in the headlights — our animal friends don’t know their limitations, and despite a proverbial FOMO (fear of missing out), have to make lemonade out of lemons.

In a video uploaded to TikTok by @furbythebirb, we get to see this Cockatoo try to keep an eye on all the neighborhood happenings. Take a look!
“Furby watches the children playing in their pool,” his pet parent said in a super-cute clip, and as any fun-loving bird does, delights in watching the fun outside!
Surely this good boy should be able to join the party, right?
Wrong.

That said, Cockatoos can enjoy waterplay in other ways. For example, many love bathing in shallow dishes or under a gentle mist.
“Would he like his own little pool?” asked a TikTok fan. “How dare they not invite him,” scoffed another.

Don't worry about a possible invitation oversight by the neighborhood kids. Furby still manages to have an amazing time as the children play.

He sure is!
Look at those legs kick! It’s like Furby is an off-duty Rockette! The way he prances from side to side and bobs his head up and down is just the cutest!
Quite often, I'm envious of the energy levels of kids who range from toddlers to teens. Today, I'm wishing I had a pep in my step to match this Cockatoo!

His dance moves are pretty intense. This little guy can really move! So much so that his pet mamma needs to warn him about falling off his perch. (Which he inevitably does! Yikes!)
