Dogs and cats make great pets, but have you ever considered getting a feathered friend instead? While pet birds do require quite a lot of maintenance, they can also be an absolute delight to have around. They are surprisingly affectionate, intelligent, and have long lifespans. Plus, they can be hilariously sassy — and Basil the Conure is the perfect example. This adorable bird is still pretty new to social media world, but folks online are already loving him. Part of the reason why is because Basil is known for his sassiness. His humans have proven this in a number of videos, but the video below might be the very best one yet. Check out this viral video of Basil for yourself! @ddeebirdd SASS. I’ve never seen another bird do this #birdsoftiktok #bird #greencheekconure #fyp ♬ original sound – Deebird “Now I understand why pirates kept shoulder birds,” someone in the comments cleverly shares. Others add, “The tiniest ride or die! You’ll win any argument with this sidekick!” and “No DNA needed, he is the father. They have the same attitude.” Basil the Sassy Conure Proves to be Man’s Best Friend When Dad Gets Into an “Argument” As this video of Basil shows, his sassiness can be an asset to his humans. That said, this is not always the case. When that attitude is directed back at their owners, well… I’ll let another bird’s actions speak for themselves. @tamiaoveres Prince attac #princethebird #funnyanimals #funnypets #birdtok #birdsoftiktok #funnypetsoftiktok #pets #funnybirds ♬ original sound – Tamia “She’s always looking for a fight, she’s a little machine of destruction,” one commenter points out, another adding, “Prince doesn’t want the smoke, she IS the smoke.” Can it be a hassle to deal with such strong headed birds? Of course. But what pet isn’t a bit stubborn? At the end of the day, bird parents adore their feathered friends, sassiness and all. Besides, their personalities help keep life interesting!
