Cooper the Parakeet is Just Like a Real Person

There are many reasons that pets can be as adorable as ever—but one of these reasons has to do with the fact that sometimes they behave just like humans. Just like we love it when we resonate with other humans who are similar to ourselves, so too do we fall in love with pets when they do the same thing. In the case of Cooper the parakeet, we’re practically obsessed with the way that he acts just like a human.

At the very least, Cooper’s owner makes a big deal out of photographing Cooper in all kinds of quirky human settings. Whether Cooper is standing next to a passport or drawing on an etch-a-sketch, or playing some beer-pong, the level of cuteness is simply off the charts.

It’s worth noting that Cooper seems to be very photogenic, and also goes with the flow a lot. When you consider all the different kinds of pictures he’s in, it’s hard to imagine taking those pictures if Cooper was a complainer. This is why we believe that Cooper is just as much the star as he seems to be. This parakeet clearly loves the spotlight, and we’re happy he does because we can’t help but smile from his pictures!
