A TikTok video posted by an account named Furby the Birb (@furbythebirb) depicts the animal engaging in self-directed activities following an incident where it bit its owner. The video, which has garnered 312 likes, shows the cockatoo occupied with toys and cleaning.
The incident echoes a recent event reported by Newsweek, where a cockatoo bite prompted a reaction from its owner, who described the bird as “very smart.” The Newsweek article, highlighted in Google News search results, details the owner’s response to being bitten, but does not provide further details about the circumstances or the owner’s identity.
Meanwhile, the marketing firm Marketing Dive reported that Afterpay has partnered with a Furby to promote holiday gift ideas on TikTok. This collaboration, also surfaced in Google News, utilizes the nostalgic toy to engage users and suggest potential presents. The partnership does not appear to be directly related to the incident involving Furby the Birb, but demonstrates the continued presence of Furbys in online marketing and social media trends.
