Stuff my 50 year old parrot says. Warning- a little salty at the end! Instagram @babybirby 

Or worse . Knowing these birds should live for so long but end up dying far too early due to bad owners

I like to imagine the deceased grandpa: god damn bird!

I'm thinking when the bird is laughing, that's this person's mother's laugh it learned to mimic.

@@Crab.with.abs. True, but thankfully this Amazon looks very well cared for.

Now that you mention it I could not get a bird that would mock. I’d lose it if they mocked a passed love one

Right. Lol. No wonder the parrot doesn’t want to talk with her,”you wanna cracker?”,”no I want a apple!”(bird:/parrot). “Huhhh”,”you want a cracker???”.🐔🐧🦜🦨🦜

I would teach the bird to say, in an accusatory tone, "Birds can't talk!"

@@puppetsock or "Birds arent real..."

Bwahahaha Have always been impressed with how well my fur babies have me trained.

Ha ha. Such smart humans.

If I broke into a house and heard laughing I would immediately get the fuck out

There was actually a case where a parrot learned to say "Help me!!!!" to get its owners attention. It did it once when the delivery man was dropping off a package and he called the cops 😂

My first thoughts when I heard this!! Can you imagine being the thief hearing this?!! Lol.

James Taylor I knew a thief, he actually experienced that with my old neighbor who was a recently widowed 60 year old woman, who was considered to have gone a bit crazy.

Birds are amazing creatures, especially Parrots. I remember one time, I was in a store with my parents back in the late 70's. It was a type of thrift store but the owner had a miner bird. I got lost and called for my mom and dad. The bird mimicked the tone of my voice and vocal articulation PERFECTLY. SO perfectly in fact. that my parents went to the sound of the bird's voice expecting to find me.

Hahaha

I have an African grey. Just curious what food you feed your bird?

@@wt3447 I have a African Grey also , she is 28 years old. The best food to feed them is www.higginspremium.com/vita-seed-parrot Higgins is supplemented and the best . Also you want to get www.nekton.de/en/product-reader/nekton-s.html It has a foil top. Put pin holes in the top and put it on the seeds like you would put salt on food. Do this a couple times a week for good feathers- plummage. Always fill your food bowls, parrots like to play with their food and it occupies them from boredom .

As a bird owner (African grey) I personally tune out literally everything he says now, I feel bad when people come over and get freaked out by the talking until I explain that our bird can talk.

My bird has startled people more than once.😂

True

Birds don't have their own "voice" so they mimic ones they here.

Pretty certain teaching the bird "God damn bird" was unintentional :P Parrots with weaker mimicking skills use their "own voice" so to speak, for instance Ara parrots. And aras can be very chatty as well, but they do not mimic the voice of the owner.

ab vevo I think that’s what the original commenter was worried about: the young parrots’ owners finding out how long they live and how much work they require and potentially deciding that they no longer want the parrot. I don’t think the commenter has an issue with birds; I think they’re worried about whether or not they have a good home.

harry nac I feel like people don't realize how much effort and dedication a bird takes. I considered having one as a pet as I love to watch them do their own thing and they're really fun to interact with. Ultimately though they're not a good fit for my lifestyle. I can only imagine how those scared some birds get when they get passed around from owner to owner.

Personal experience: My bird is only, hmm....4 years old. He'll probably live until I'm almost 40, at least. The demographic of bird owners has become more well-read on their care, and much younger, like me. Also, a lot of people are adopting, and fostering parrots with owners who passed away. There's still a lot of homeless birds, and it's bad that animals are bred en masse in general, but it is getting better. Also, rule of thumb: Smaller birds live around 20, 30+ years, Larger birds live around 50, 60+ years. However their lifespan has increased insane amounts by learning more about parrots. Many people are told budgerigar parakeets only live about 5 or 10 years, and cockatiels 10 or 15, but as we go on, there's been more and more 13+ year old budgies, and 20, 25+ year old cockatiels.

That bird had been abused and learned to fight back. Or he was just a badass. Some are, just like people.

Jesus Christ that sounds terrifying 😂

My kind of bird.

he was like PRETTYPRETTYPRETTYPRETTYPRETTY PRETTYPRETTYPRETTYPRETTYPRETTY PRETTYPRETTYPRETTYPRETTYBIRD

rubbish I don't believe that for a second. Parrots mimic sounds but they don't have the capacity to construct language. So if you ask a bird a question and it answers in a constructive way...as you suggest, then it was still merely still just repeating what it has heard, and it was just a fluke that it sounded like an answer.

@@PetroicaRodinogaster264 type 'einstein parrot' into youtube and retract this comment, lol.

@@PetroicaRodinogaster264 You are wrong. Do some research. Birds are far smarter than thought-especially corvids, who exhibit problem-solving when presented with something they want that is closed away. They will even fashion a tool-for example, fetch a twig to pry out something tasty, and if it isn’t long enough, they’ll go get a longer one; if it’s too long, they’ll nibble it down to size. They manipulate their environment and they teach others in their flock the same behaviour. Long-lived birds like parrots are bright and have long memories, excellent eye-sight, and natural talent for not just mimicry but using that mimicry in the wild, untaught. Ever heard of evolution? It’s still happening. Oh, and birds are what dinosaurs became. They prove brain SIZE is not the main factor in intelligence, as humans constantly prove. There have been excellent programmes, especially on NOVA thru PBS-US, and National Geographic. Don’t be so closed-minded.

@@stevek-fn6wz Amazons in captivity have a lifespan of between 80-90 years, Steve.

Life goals! 45 years is impressive.

@Jennifer 6strings There are many parrot rescue group that have birds in need of homes. I have a 26 year old Yellow Nape Amazon who has been with me 23 years. I rescued him from a man who said he was going to leave him in his cage on the side of the highway. I have no doubt he meant it. There are things you should know about having a bird as a family member but most of it is common sense like they need a good diet and proper environment. Some larger cities have clubs where you can learn from experienced owners. I got my first bird when I was 3 and have had one or more since. I can honestly stay that it has been a rewarding part of my life.

That is Amazing and A Loving Bond to Keep him That Healthy! is an Outstanding Feat. Of Yours. Well done. Love and light. ♡♡ ♡♡

Anyone who has ever been owned by a parrot has said "God Damned Bird" AT LEAST a couple times!

My little quaker parrot does this too.

@BallOnEm PBS once my grandmother was insulting her looks and our cockatiel said 'pretty girl' out of nowhere. HAHA. My grandmother looks great for her age, she'll be 85 this year and people say she looks to be in her late 60s to early 70s.

@@lizgawin899 - When I tell the elderly that they look great, they asked me, "Don't you mean for my age?" They really don't like hearing that phrase; it is *not* a compliment. It's the same as telling somebody that they look like crap, but just a bit better than all the other crappy-looking people. Please stop adding, "...for your age" -- nobody likes hearing that about themselves. How about just saying that your grandma is in her 80s and she looks great? I think she would really like that 😊

blaidencortel I understand completely, I also have a old fully grown spur thigh tortoise called freya, another rescue, who was kept outside all year round, in a rabbit hutch, attached by a dog, had very very bad mouth rot and a eye infection when I got her, I’ could tell something was wrong with her, when she wouldn’t eat or drink, thank goodness for strawberries, the juice gave her a bit of energy (I got her late Friday evening)so I had to wait till Monday, to get her to the vet, the vet told me if I’ hadn’t brought her in when I did she would’ve died, the amount of nasty stuff he had to remove from her mouth and the pain she must of been in still makes me cry, fre-yas mouth was raw under all the nasty,the vet gave her a injection of antibiotics, and I had to give her oral pain meds and antibiotics for a month, I could tell immediately when she started feeling better, the vet also told me she’s blind in one eye,caused by the eye infection not being treated for god knows how long, she was also over weight from only eating her hay bedding (at lest she had something to eat), she also had no access to water, poor being was so dehydrated, I have no idea how old she is, the vet just said old. Now Freya’s a very healthy house tortoise, living in a very big indoor rabbit cage, with a water tray that I call her swimming pool(it’s deep enough that she can drink, but no drown) in my bedroom, the first time I put her on grass my poor daughtus ( my daughter tortoise, every though she’s a lot older then me, 26), on grass she hid in her shell, we are working on building her confidence, and getting her used to grass, it’s a work in progress, I have other nickname for Freya, my shellbumkin, I called her fre-ya, because she’s free yay, from neglect, her full name is Freya petal and I love her with all my heart, she’s such a sweet lady tortoise, I might upload a few videos onto my RU-vid if anyone is interested, I have a few other rescue animal family members, animals are family in my home

Jaygirl273 do post some vids of Freya!

thats interesting

@BallOnEm PBS They can associate things together. Another string of comments was people talking about how their birds when upset will repeat what you say to them when you are upset (even if it doesn't apply.) One person said their bird will say "Don't bite" if someone scratches them or annoys them for too long (because they would tell the bird not to bite when it did something wrong.) Some birds do seem to have mild comprehension though, but a lot of it is probably just associating things together.

Amber Galway he lets my son pet him, when I’m in eyeshot. He literally watches me while my son tickles him (through the cage). If I try, he backs off and glows his eyes. When my son isn’t home, he’s affectionate and I can flip him over and tickle his belly.

My Double Yellow Headed Amazon is about 40-50 years old, she loves me so much, the only time she really bites me is when someone else comes in the room and she gets jealous😋

Plays WithKnives you know they own you when… 😂😂😂

Parrots prefer high pitched “baby talk” Similar to how dogs react better when you raise the pitch of what you’re saying. They’re more likely to mimic stimulating phrases rather than just a normal phrase. My amazon will almost only react to either signing, or high pitched “baby talk” like in the video. With exception being Africans Greys mostly, those clowns just repeat any and everything lol. You should check out the African Grey videos they are much more adult sounding.

They LOVE high pitched voices...it’s what they seem to respond best to. Like music, for example (my parrot used to love when my ex played the guitar) or the vacuum cleaner, or even when I raise my voice in general. They respond to drama.

Parrots don’t respond to normal talk very well. Think of them as babies or toddlers, they have about that intellect. If you want a baby to learn how to talk you can’t just talk to them in a monotone voice without any fun sounds or words. It bores them out of the task quickly.
