That’s not the first time he does that, and it shows real intelligence. He definitely is not just repeating things. At what level he understands can surely be discussed, but he certainly understands a lot more than just repeating things. Of course Gizmo is not the first parrot to show this. Alex the grey parrot is knows to have asked one of very few existential questions among animals. He learned colors and then asked “what color am I?”. At the same time parrots fail the mirror test, which is commonly used to establish self awesomeness and the standardized test for other species that we measure them by. I think the mirror test mainly reflects human arrogance to be honest, and how we time and time again dismiss others and assume we are the only intelligent species or the only “special” ones.
Great show of intelligence! Loved it when he said that - almost like a parent giving a hint while helping their child study (all except for the “new math”… that stuff is just plain nuts! 😮 )
"Biranooooo" had me in stitches 😂 love these two together. Giz seems really happy w his new housemate. I'm a huge fan. You guys always brighten my day 🌞
Omg that is the cutest thing I have ever seen 🤣🥰 Birano Humm Gizz'S nickname for him along with burger 🍔 bird. "Are u a mess like me?" This was adorable
I wonder if Giz ever gets bored w/other birds’ lack of conversation… like, hey, my vocabulary is 1,000 words! Yours? -20! Oh…. And he just has to endure the same thing over and over… Haha oh buddy. What a sweet legend.
They have another bird now named Bloob. Different type of bird. There's a new channel also, in addition to this one. @@cristinagarces1062 Anyone in the comments remember the channel name? The species of the bird?
These birds are so crazy intelligent. My dad and step mom had a grey for years, his name was marty because we got him on mlk day. Literally a little sponge for dialogue lol and very good at mimicking the actual sound of everyone’s voice.
Omgosh so funny,"are you a mess like me too"...I love watching Giz interact with Bloob...Gizmo absolutely knows what he is saying...I love you Gizmo big kisses...
Are you a mess like me too?😂❤️They are parroting each other. I think Giz likes his little Bloob. Giz likes to self soothe with the youse a good boy and kiss. Giz is laughing and happy.
Gizmo needs a pirate patch on one eye lol.........he reminds me of a pirate who swears, loves, fights, wins battles and is a blast to be around hahahaha. Love him ❤❤
It's so sad, I was only ever around a bird like this a few times as a child and never again since; seeing happy and healthy birds and how they act makes me realize how stressed out the birds I saw as a kid were. Poor things. Ngl I've always been a dog guy, have two rescues rn, but I may have to switch to a bird when I'm too old for big dogs anymore! I'm absolutely in love with Giz!🧡
