In the video, the girl excitedly announces, "Hi guys, I'm here with Nellie, and I have my last loose tooth, and I'm gonna see if she'll pull it again." With remarkable precision, Nellie successfully extracts the tooth, leading to an excited exclamation, "She got it! Oh my god! Give it back! Good job, Nell!" The brief yet captivating interaction highlights the intelligence and capability of parrots in a way that few have seen before.

Reactions to the video have been varied but overwhelmingly positive. One viewer admitted, "I was expecting this to end badly, very badly."
