Parrot Offers Commentary on Mysterious Murder | Glenna Duram Case Analysis 

I had an african grey for many years. It broke me for a long time when he passed. A friend of mine died in a car accident and my bird had learned so many sayings from him. It was sort of like still having my friend there. Since they do voices so perfectly.

Dr. Grande's deadpan riddles and punchlines are hysterical

So many of these jokes flew over my head

Just imagine how scared that deputy was when Glenna sat up like that after being declared dead 😂😂😂

My family owns an exotic animal sanctuary where we own 67 parrots. The African Grey is definitely the smartest. They usually need to hear something repeated 100+ times before they catch on to it. This was so traumatic to the bird that he picked it up instantly. I can’t imagine

This man's stone faced, monotone delivery of the sickest puns is food for my soul.

Thank you Dr Grande this is a great story. My brother got a African grey parrot much like this one, yet very old. I mentioned to him a parrot that old may have a rough time at his noisy home full of kids. It’s tag said he had lost his owner poor thing. Well my bro won the bid at auction. His wife & children were very happy, they stopped on the way home & got him a huge perch to sit on ,food and everything needed. About 2am the fire alarm went off and everyone woke up & no fire, this went on about every hour until daylight. It was the parrot every time he was lonely or wanted a treat he made the alarm sound. The kid’s suggestion was the former owner must have been hard of hearing. Idk my brother rehomed him because the family wasn’t sleeping well A couple,friends of ours who had a cabin with an open floor plan ,the bird could see his 2 humans at the other side of the cabin at night & the forest out window s all around, he was happy,so he never made the alarm sound again.

Talking Parrots are the only "magical" belief from my childhood that turned out to be true. Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy and talking Donkeys all let me down 😢

I had an African Grey as a child. He tormented my mother with my voice in distress. He really love the word Help!☺️

Worked at a veterinarian office in LA, CA. & we had an African Grey in the front office, kept in his cage… He had a habit of blurting out; “pay your f’king bill”…. Fortunately, the clientele loved it ! Lol

Something similar happened in India some years ago. A parrot saw its owner being killed and it identidfied the perpetrator.

When I was a criminology major in the 70s in college, a case was shared with the class by the instructor. He had a 9 x 10 glossy photo of a woman in her late 20s. The picture showed that she had 7 or 9 holes in her chest made by a .22 pistol. They had determined that it had been a suicide. The woman actually shot herself that many times before one bullet actually hit her heart killing her. I have seen comments on other cases stating how strange it is that someone committed suicide but did not shoot themselves in the head. It is not as strange as one might think. In the 1990s, my uncle who was then in his mid 50s, had early onset dementia. He could see that the farm he and my aunt had worked their entire lives for would have to be mortgaged to take care of him and my aunt would end up with nothing. He went out into the barn and used a shotgun (in the chest) to kill himself. I think some people might want an open casket funeral and so do not shoot themselves in the head. As a side note, I realized years later that the story of my uncle's suicide was also a testament to a horrible healthcare system where that is the choice you have to make to save your home/farm for your survivors. They don't have this problem in the rest of the civilized world where healthcare is universal and you don't have to lose your home just because you are terminally sick.

Hardest working man on RU-vid is definitely Dr. Grande. I don't know how you do it, but we're thankful you put out great content on RU-vid.

Thank goodness the first wife adopted that intelligent bird, who deserves a better life.

Bud is now on the Witness Protection Program. Glenna hired a hawk to take care of Bud

Dr, your Dad jokes are killing me lately 😂 I'm about to fly the coop.

Loved all of the bird references!❤ Thanks for the laughs 😂

Gruesome Death awaits us all, but this was absolutely uncalled for. Love that deadpan bird humour. Cheers!

Thanksgiving Day is a good day to thank you Dr. Grande. You deserve to put a feather in your cap for today’s colorful upload. Among the flocks of writers out there, you’re a rare bird - one with a soaring imagination and feet tightly locked on a branch.

Dr. Grande is the closest thing to a father I've ever had.

Thanks for talking turkey about a rather "fowl" case. Have a great Thanksgiving Day to you and your family, Dr.Grande.

🤣🤣one bird pun after another!! Loved it!! 👏👏

Missed opportunity to use the phrase "the bird's the word" 😂 I love your jokes and dry sense of humor. We need some levity thrown in, to give comedic relief. Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving, Dr. Grande!

Hi Dr. Grande, Best timing ever to have a "Bird" related video that drops on Thanksgiving Day where many of us still enjoy savoring the Turkey Bird at the dining table. 😉🦃💜

Now Glenna's a bird in a gilded cage in Sing Sing. I hope you recorded this video before Thanksgiving so you could take some well deserved time off to exclusively be with your family. Blessed Thanksgiving everyone. ❤

Props for getting all those bird references into that commentary Dr. Grande. Made my day.

I used to have an African grey parrot, he was very smart and would emulate everything and everyone, it was comical!

I don’t know how you could “lay”out the crime and “crack” this case the way you did, without the assistance of Bud, but everything was stated with a straight face, you are so talented! So was Bud🤗♥️💕♥️💕

I think it so sweet you share your wife's holiday decorations.

10:41 your ability to work those play on words into your content is one of the many reasons I watch you.

African Greys are so so so smart they are smarter than a 5 year old. There’s no doubt that bird knew exactly what happened. That bird will live with that trauma forever.

i have an african grey parrot, they're such smart and social birds! she even makes her own, context-appropriate sentences (with some errors that are understandable given that she learned it solely from context and repetition!), indicating that she has at least some grasp of language, which is part of what makes the species so notable. it's sad that we don't know as much about their behavior in the wild, though, because i think that could give some really good insights into their behavior, and that's before getting into species conservation (they're endangered). they really are tape recorders, do not make any sound that you don't want those birds repeating. edit: posted this before i was done! i feel bad for Marty, and for Bud, and the dog. i can't imagine what it would have been like to have a brain injury where your deteriorating condition leaves you no choice but to trust someone who has a gambling problem with the finances, or what it would be like to be a dog or a parrot (an african grey parrot, no less!) and witness your human be murdered. it's common for pets, especially parrots, *especially* african grey parrots, to have symptoms of mental illness, like depression, anxiety, and even PTSD. these symptoms can often manifest as aggression (especially territorial/protective/defensive), spooking easily, and in parrots (especially african greys), self-mutilating behaviors such as feather plucking. 💔 i wonder how a mental health clinician would go about treating mental health issues in a parrot, or in any other animal for that matter. can't imagine talk therapy would be all that effective, even for african greys.

ahhh I saw that you almost smirked making all those birdy play on words and you had to make a cut,Dr. Grande. Loved this one 🫶

I’m most thankful this thanksgiving for Dr. Grande, his videos, analysis, and being able to live in the greatest state (New Jersey 🇺🇸) 🦃 HAPPY THANKSGIVING 🍁 FANS AND DR.!

Grateful for Dr. Grande! Witty AF!

"Flip the bird" 😄 Excellent work Dr.G!

Amazing how you kept a straight face thru all the bird analogies.

If you said “a birdie told me” it would have been perfect

The continuing bird references with the pass-a-lie-detector-test-energy had me rolling 🎸 😅

For those interested, there is a Tales of the Unexpected episode called 'Bird of Prey'. I won't say any more in order not to spoil the ending, but its a great tv episode if you can track it down.

There was a Three Stooges episode where the chief witness was a parrot. "Disorder in the Court" When Curly takes the stand: "Truth is stranger than fiction, Judgey-Wudgey". Also, watch his hat.

I never knew birds could give testimony. So there IS bird law after all

I have a beautiful but rather temperamental corella who I rescued after she had multiple foster homes. She had serious agression issues and resource guarding and is unable to fly. The biggest problem was she learned to mimic the sounds she encountered in her home of origin which had a lot of DV. The smokers cough and swearing she mimics isn't so bad but she heard things like "ouch, ow, stop! " and some far sadder things and still screeches them when she's stressed. I've had her 11 years and it still happens 😢

Todd keeps pointing out how internet search histories always have searchers related directly to the crime. It’s amazing how many people will google how to commit a crime and then turn around and commit said crime. Is it not common knowledge that your search history will be looked through?

Very interesting case and great play of words throughout! You are, undoubtedly, exceedingly competent in verbal communication. Happy thanksgiving to Dr. Grande, his family and this channel’s community.🦃🍁🍂🍽

Dr Grandes humor is the best.

Super grateful for you Dr. Grande 🙏 Over the years you have become a comforting part of my every day life

LOVE all the cliches! Very funny and interesting evaluation. Thank you!

The parrot might have been mimicking people playing tour of duty or something..Glad Bud the parrot wasn’t called to court..As the defense would have ‘pecked’,holes in Buds testimony and ruffled some feathers in the prosecutions case..But the accused got stuffed in the end anyhow and now is doing bird. Thanks Doctor Grande for another great video of a very interesting case.incidentally my mate once ate a parrot..I asked him what it was like and he told me it kept repeating on him..

Glenna got flipped the Bird! lol love the Doc’s sense of humour!!!

Happy Thanksgiving, again, Dr. G The bird testimony could have been more incriminating, in my opinion. She was unable to control herself. He received $1,100 each month which isn't much money. But, she received over $3,000 each month to take care of him. That's probably more than she ever was paid through employment.

I love his fowl humor

They needed the help of a "Parro-Psychologist."

Dr G is amazing….I love the way that you include a little humor in your analysis!!! The “bird” comments….too funny!!! Love your videos!!!!!

So many stories, so little time. Thanks, Grande!❤ We appreciate your calm and balanced evaluation of such cases.❤

Dr. Grande never rests!!! Happy Thanksgiving Dr. Grande. You are a hardworking man. Love it❤

I saw Bella! Please let Mrs. G know how much her decorations help make our holiday feelings better! I now look forward to these shorts very much. 🦃

Happy Turkey Day Dr Grande! Thank you for another subtle smile to start the day.

I remember this news story. It was really sad. I wonder if parrots can have ptsd like symptoms like human do? As the crime was so traumatic, it may have imprinted on the bird. Of course the bird may of just repeated it as like it repeats all things it sees and hears. But it's still very sad.

Delicious! You just couldn't resist the opportunity to flourish multiple popular avian related phrases. Well done.

😂 When he said, in that deadpan delivery style "they hoped the parrot would sing like a canary" it's a good thing I hadn't just taken a sip of my coffee or it would've sprayed out everywhere! 😂 That just hit me funny. No need to lol. I totally laughed out loud! Then he said something about a swan sing. I noticed in another video he did a paragraph of alliteration. That was funny. I like alliteration too. "Perks of parrot parenting poo-pooed if your plots are not private. Police praise alert Avian for advantageous advice aiding arrest." 😂

Now we know why the norwegian blue parrot of Monty Python had "gone to meet his maker". He was silenced so he couldn't sing to the authorities about a "job".

Yeeeessss I got the whole intro down packed! Happy thanksgiving Dr.Grande!

Okay, the bird puns were on point. 😂

" Glenda wishes to be free like a bird " lol 🤣 Dr. Grande is the best 👏👌💛

Well time to hear more about other people's lives that make me seem sane by comparison. By all means, Dr. Proceed.

Your bird riddles were spot on. What a genius.❤

Dr. Grande - Thank you for another interesting story & analysis. The play on words was outstanding! Happy Thanksgiving! 👍💜🌵

Happy turkey day, Dr. Grande!! ❤The fact that people won't pay their bills astounds me. Especially when they have the $ but choose to gamble or shop or whatever. Interesting case, I thought i watched alot of true crime but love that you come up with alot of crimes Ive never heard of. I was born in Grand Rapids and have family in Sand Lake. 😂 There's people capable of homicide everywhere and that's scary. There sure is alot of spouses that kill the other, you're suppose to go through life with them as your best friend, not kill them. 🙄 Thank you for uploading even on Thanksgiving. Youre my fav and most reliable RU-vidr out here. ❤❤

Dr Grande I’ve enjoyed your content for a while. I especially appreciate your dry humor and quick witt. However, I must call horse feathers on this crazy tale of woe. Thanks for the content. You keep makin’ em and I’ll keep watchin’ em.

That is the best dead-pan humor I've heard. Well done!

Yay!! New video! Thank you!! 🙏🏼 Have a happy thanksgiving Dr. Grande! ❤

Your respect for the avian crowd was greatly appreciated by my African Gray Parrot, Felger. It has been my experience that African Grays mimic humans, in the voice of the speaker themselves, but not before the bird has heard a word or phrase repeatedly. For example, Felger was fond of saying, “Hey, Baby, where’s the fire?” in my wife’s voice, but only after dozens of repetitions. He mimicked my cough after a lengthy illness. My point is that this couple had been at each others’ for quite awhile before the murder. Or, perhaps less likely, the parrot became fatigued with the bickering and shot both of them in a moment of weakness.

This was a great video! I loved the humorous way you told this sad story.

I love how you explain these cases Dr Grande ❤

This is the perfect post for "turkey" day. Bird is the word.

Happy thanksgiving to you Dr. Grande! I’m thankful for you!

One thing is always guaranteed by Grande’s posts. None of them are a turkey.

I love your videos, and your humor. Keep up the good work. You’re so interesting in a calming way. 😊

Great breakdown & analysis again. Thanks Dr G😊💜💜

Those bird jokes were a bit fowl. But also perfect for turkey day 🦃🦃😅 Gobble, gobble Dr. G! 😂

Our African Grey imitates my partner's voice perfectly. Sometimes my job requires me to be away for 2 to 4 weeks...However strange this story may be? My parrot is a real tattle tale and because of him there are no secrets in this house. He does sometimes even repeat phone conversations my partner had the day before. He sometimes says my name in my voice and if I laugh aloud, he'll laugh in the exact same way. Great Birds. 😅

Hello Dr.Grande..i love you and your channel. You talk so gently and have a great sense of humor. You are just the best ever. Thank you ❤❤

You know your guns, Dr Grande, I’m always impressed with your descriptions of firearms, very informative, thank you

😂 Such a Bird Brain! Your best PUNS yet!

“Perhaps she considers prison to be a gilded cage.”…..I live for these statements. 😂😂😂

So many fine bird jokes. I suppose my appreciation indicates that birds of a feather flock together.

😮😮 Reminds me of the famous "Three Stooges" court parody where the parrot shouts "find the letter"!! Lol

It may not have led directly to conviction but that video of the parrot is really compelling

That sequence of bird metaphors! A class! Lol

Haha. Your jokes get me every time. I never understand jokes, but yours, I get, haha. Thanks.

As a European, I’m shocked how ironclad someone’s guilt has to be established before a trial is attempted. In this case, EVERYTHING was crystal clear against her, yet…every angle that could speak to her possible innocence is explored.

Another great dialogue that was drenched in Dr. G’s play on words!

Absolutely Hilarious🤣😂😂 This is Dr. Grande's most humorous video.

Your humor is everything!!

BRAVO !! Dr Grande does it again !! Love it !

Your bird puns are making me laugh so hard😅😅😅😂😂

You had me at Parrot.

The dry humor and puns keep me coming back for more. Very clever -- and I love it!

Happy Thanksgiving, Dr. Grande & family! 🦃
