I know an Amazon who does that too. She lost a lot of her vocabulary when she had a stroke a few years ago. But she can still sing beautifully. When we get to hear it, it's amazing.
Funniest bird I ever saw was in a pawn shop. Parrot. Great big parrot. Bikers turned him in. They'd apparently won him in a poker game, and decided they didn't have time for him. Cussed a blue streak, and HATED to be told to 'shut up'. Say shut up, and he'd loudly say "F**k you!!" The pawn shop owner got on famously with him and decided to keep him. If someone calls in a complaint about something not working, he says...'Let me give you the complaint department'. Holds the phone up to the bird, and says 'shut up' quietly. Naturally, the bird responds appropriately, then he disconnects the call.
My parents had a yellow nape years ago....best thing he ever said was "birds don't talk" and he used to call my dog at the time "come here Ted"...while a lot of work, they are such an entertaining blessing
Actually, they don't just "parrot" what people say. They learn speech - that's how they practice, but most parrots know what they are saying. They can carry on a simple conversation. For instance, when asked whether they would like a snack, will reply with what they want, and lots more.
My birds past life has me thinking I need to make a police report! 😯 He repeats conversations from his past, and the things he has said, are kinda scary. Usually its funny... but lately his last one ended with, 'if you have any weapons put them down!' It is crazy!
there's an old video of where a police officer opened a house thinking they were hearing a baby crying, it turned out to be the family parrot, I'm sure you can find on RU-vid, I'll look for a link
These birds are happy, healthy and gorgeous! Love the way they can imitate anything....and answer appropriately at times! Anyone getting parrots, cockatoos, etc however, should think long and hard before making that decision. They are beautiful, intelligent and can be lots of fun. BUT: They also very well may outlive you--so put them in your will and have someone they know ready to care for them after you're gone.. They need a huge amount of attention everyday--and can become depressed, bored and neurotic, pulling out feathers or getting aggressive if not given enough proper attention>>> each day. They can be deafeningly loud, and when angry, their hook-bills have a very hard, painful bite. Feathers and feather dust can cause problems if you have respiratory problems. Many beautiful birds end up getting tossed out the door or given to rehabbers because their owners bought these birds without understanding what owning them entails.
I so agree. It breaks my heart when I read or hear about the abuse and neglect of any of these beautiful, affectionate creatures. Parrots and budgies are NOT toys or "fashion statements"! They have souls and loving hearts. It takes a special person to befriend and take care of a parrot.
do they dance like parakeets? very wild. my parakeet , (Floyd), loved reggae and would just dance his butt off. throwing himself around on his perch. too funny. and squawk...lordy. too bad they don't have a longer life span.
@@domestikgoddez9823 lots of parrots love to dance, and the larger parrots can live up to 100 years. Which is very sad for captive parrots, because it means they will be passed from one owner to another, and the chances of them being mistreated and abused are higher.
@@animaldefender0001 i would hope the parrot would go to a loving family member and let the parrot live as it's used too. i'm guessing the bird would grieve losing someone close. could see why they may misbehave with a new owner- too much change has the bird weary and on edge.
i had a parakeet that would sing and dance to lynard skinner, allman bros. he didn't sing the lyrics - he was off on his own trip. but the dancing was pretty wild - very impressive. once he heard reggae he stopped and froze. then a little head bob started , then a shuffle from side to side - then just rocking out, with the rhythm of the songs.
My neighbour had a parrot years ago and some of the things it said, and it’s laugh so funny. We had an infant school at the back and well some builders were working at another neighbours while the teacher was lining the children up outside. The parrot starts wolf whistling and shouting show us your knickers 😂 obviously the teacher blamed the builders nearly getting them sacked. Till the bird did again while no builders were there. Loved having conversations with that parrot 🦜 it had hundreds of words in its vocabulary, brilliant birds. If someone knocked the parrot would shout, “who is it, go away! We don’t want any”! Lord knows what people thought being told to bugger/sod off!
"Name's Cotton, sir, can't talk on account of his tongue being cut out. Trained the parrot to talk for him. No one's yet figured out just how." - Gibbs
That one really knew how to work its human tiny, soft, pitiful voice, it sounded like it kept saying, ever so softly, "I'm just a ba-by" ...... or something to hat effect. So precious.
My sister's cockatiel calls the cat. She sounds just like my sister....here kitty kitty kitty. It's hilarious. My brother has an African Gray Parrot that can mimic any siren and alarm you've ever heard. She sings classical music , sounds just like the instruments. It's uncanny. However she's over 40 yrs old and has never learned to talk no matter how much we've tried to get her to. He's had her since she was a baby. He moved to a new apt complex a couple years ago and the guy next door has a dog. So now she barks too. The guy next door thought my brother had a dog too, was surprised to find out it's a bird. Lol
😂 I just glanced over at my cat and - I wish we could post photos on here 😆 Her wide-eyed “wtf” expression… she looks like a caffeinated owl… and I am dying!!! 🤣
if you mean the one at about 1:23, that’s a crow!!!!!!! it’s an african pied crow, specifically, and apparently they make pretty good pets considering they seem to be common as such lol
Some of those birds were pretty good singers. The magpie sounded the most human, corvids usually do. Cockatoos are always fun to watch, they seem to have very big personalities.
This brings back all the great memories I had with all my birds. They were awesome pets! Like you see you have to be devoted in time and caring for happy birds. They are very messy, loud and demand a lot of time. If done right it's well worth it!
All of those parrots and budgies are so precious! 🤗😍 I will never forget my blue and white budgie, Skye, who lived to be fourteen years old. (May he rest with God!) He loved to talk and give me kisses. One time, I hurt my toe badly tripping over something, wept in pain, and yelled "Son of a b****!". While I had my foot elevated and iced, I heard Skye's sweet tiny voice repeat this expletive two times. After I could stop laughing out loud, I said, "Sweetie, just hear it, don't say it!" He also was empathetic. There was a time I was sitting by Skye's cage and I was worried about something. He sidled across his perch over to me, bobbed his head, and said, "Don't be scared!" I was amazed to see a hyacinth macaw in the video, and hope he was from captive-raised parents. Aren't hyacinth macaws a protected species?
If birds are descended from dinosaurs, then what if dinosaurs could talk like this? 🤔 Edit: I swear to God stop telling me that birds mimic humans and there weren't humans when there were dinosaurs 🤦🏼♀️ I know this. It was funny to imagine it being possible IF dinosaurs could mimic humans 🤦🏼♀️ jfc
GODS CREATIONS, AMAZING...HAD MY AMAZON PARROT FOR 40 YEARS. MISS HER SO, SHE DIED AT ABOUT 60 YEARS OLD, THEY ARE FEARLESS AND WARMS YOUR HEART. SO WONDERFUL, THEY ARE SPECIAL. THEY ARE JUST THE BEST! WHEN YOU CONNECT TO YOUR BIRD, IT IS FOR LIFE. MY CRAZY PARROT WOULD FIGHT FOR ME..............
What a bunch of stunningly beautiful birds, and that blue one! Wow! Let ut just hope that mankind figures out a way of protecting these species before they become extinct.
Parrots is the proof that God is real because they saying talking animals a fairytale ok so they also said God is a fairytale even tho he ain't talking animals aren't real?? Explain this video right here God is real and many more unimaginable things could be real.
Around 6 pm weekdays my grandmother's parrot would start saying "Is that my Daddy??" when he heard cars go by soon before my grandfather came home from work.
It feels like such a privilege to see and hear these birds talking and interacting with their humans. It's quite amazing to be part of their lives. I was very impressed how some of them have learned all the words of songs, and the tunes. I know it's been done many times before, but it's nonetheless amazing! I really enjoyed this video, and would be happy to see more. 🦉😊😄💖💕
I'm surprised, "Play some tunes' isn't a more widespread phrase among talking birds. They seem to LOVE rockin' out! Also more snack related vocabulary.
Me either! This one is trained to recite words having to do with how they became an invasive species in North America: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yhBaVInb3jI.html
A woman found and cared for a starling. She wrote a book about Arnie, the Darling Starling. Arnie learned to talk. They appeared on late-night TV, too.
While I love birds, I will never own a parakeet. My mother had one when I was a teenager. One morning I woke up and found my Nintendo (original NES) missing. When I asked where it was, mom said she took it and was grounding me for playing it all night long. I told her it wasn't me. Of course I must have been lying. The next morning it was back and I was no longer grounded. Mom got up at 3 a.m. to come out and tell at me for playing with the Nintendo after she had just grounded me. She sheepishly told me that the Mario brothers theme was coming from the uncovered parakeet cage.
These birds crack me up, they remind me of little old ladies in the sunday church choir you know the ones a little off key with squeaky voice, but these birds really amazing love them.
2:52 When I went to the zoo when I was a kid (it was a rare treat) my parents bought me a teddy parrot just like that. Now I don't remember seeing it but remember the toy (I still have it) and seeing that parrot move is like seeing my toy come to life. It helped that they're both fluffy, that brilliant blue and the same size.
For Being A Person With Epilepsy All 36 Years Of Their Life, They Say A Parrot Would Be A Great Companion For Me. We Can Learn & Each Other Well Enough, & Hopefully Be Able To Communicate Better Together.
