Our talking pet magpie is truly amazing. He totally surprised us when we first heard him say peach come here. We never knew that magpies could mimic speech but Pie is such a character and also very fascinating.
@@chv72 you and your family are lovely as well. So much joy your videos bring to the world. The magpie i speak to is named Ruckus and i really enjoys his antics.
A wild one? I just have one that come to my balcony to bathe (and/or drink the bath water). Can’t feed him though, as it is forbidden to do so here (attracts rats)... He is sooo pretty with his iridescent blue/green feathers...😊
This is so precious ~ I'd love to have regular chats with a gorgeous magpie! I've heard of a magpie in Yorkshire in the north of England (where the locals have a very distinctly gentle, laid back and friendly-sounding accent), who sits on a bench in town saying to passers-by "'Ey-oop dearie, y'alright, luv?". Her voice is that of a kind old lady, and some people happily stop and chat to her, whereas others have difficulty working out where the words are coming from, and get a bit freaked out when they realise it's a talking bird!
One of the most fascinating things to me about bird mimicry is that they copy *exactly* what they hear; right down to the acoustics of a room where they learned a sound. It's not that they understand "oh this sound should echo" but more a testament to just how versatile their vocal system is, and how detailed their retention of sound.
Honestly, considering the fact that magpies, nonetheless, all Corvids are extremely intelligent, there is a decent chance they understand what they are saying, they may be able to use the actual concept of language and recognize that the word apple refers to the little red fruit they like to eat.
Oh wow, my colleague's African Grey (who I'm very friendly with and see every day, because I work in my colleague's home office) does exactly the same. My colleague had really bad bronchitis when he first brought Oliver the Grey home, causing some really painful, nasty-sounding hacking chesty coughing fits. Of course, Oliver learned to mimic those coughs perfectly, and now, two years later, he still performs them in all their gory detail for anyone who'll stick around to listen! I've often heard my colleague have to explain to visitors "no, my parrot isn't gravely sick, he just learned to mimic those coughs from when I had bronchitis. From how gruesome they sound, you probably think I'm a chain smoker, or have a horrible lung disease, but no, I'm very healthy now!"
I had a Starling for almost 15 years - I had a cough once and she imitated it perfectly and many other sounds and words. Many do not realize they're related to the Mynah Bird. She was a sweetheart. - Stephanie
He's practising, and I'm sure he'll learn eventually. He's a clever little guy! I've heard parrots work on pronouncing new words when they don't think anyone's listening.
I lived just past the Blue Mountains before moving to USA, had a baby magpie we raised after finding a cat attacked, released it and it’s come back knocking on my bedroom window calling my name in morning, eventually it had a family and would bring them. They are very smart and affectionate to people they know.
I really like to speculate how a bird language actually works. I'm convinced that there are nuances in what they're saying which go beyond the actual words and tones. There's no doubt in my mind that they have extremely advanced communication that we cannot perceive.
Many birds including parrots exhibit cognitive behavior and understanding what one says. (Ones raised indioors), react to their names, the word "No", etc. - the Blue Jays outside listen/watch when I bring with food for them and alert others (Blue Jays). Stephanie
I've always loved how cheeky magpies are. They've always been my favourite bird, despite some people thinking they're bad luck. Clever birds, magpies. Pie proves it! 💙
Pie is a wonderful little bird who can talk as nicely as he does. Incredible. Lucky you took care of him, otherwise we wouldn´t have gotten how good Pie is talking. Hugs. Britt o Gunnar.
It’s AMAZING how they sound just like their owners!!! Accents and all!!!🤗😆🙋🏼♀️ my friend had a parrot and kept it at her dads house and it sounded JUST LIKE HER VERY SOUTHERN DAD!!!😂🤦🏼♀️🙋🏼♀️
I don't know how but a Magpie came in the house through the Cat Door. He spent the first day hiding. I kept thinking there's a Bird in the House. Then I'd say no that's no possible. He came out the next day. It took me taking the screen off the window, serving him breakfast and managed to slowly get him out the window. It was so cool. My intuition kept telling me there was a Bird but I just couldn't believe it. They are much smarter than we give them credit for.
Pie talks a lot! Years ago, my mother in law had a magpie that would make all the sounds in their house. The doorbell, phone,(this was before computers were common) sirens and such from tv. They didn't know they could do human speech until a few years in, when it yelled cuss words! Karen yelling at her dogs, lol. 😄💖✌️🎃
I adore Pie, he's such an intelligent and jovial little fellow! His adorable little laugh (which sounds so much like Kullike's) is so adorable, and I *love* the bit where he's repeatedly telling Maple to get ready for bed. Both of you interact so lovingly and tenderly with him ~ it's just beautiful to see.
It's truly amazing that these creatures aka parrots cockatoos even crows can talk to us. Think about it. They have no teeth or lips yet they can annunciate the words better than some humans can.
Elephants, some apes, and whales and dolphins can all do it too, but we don't tend to keep them in our houses with us, so we don't see it as often. Elephants can apparently get pretty good at it.
most of the sound is made by the throat and thongue, lips and teeth are like 10% (that's also why chimp can not talk even having lips and teeth, they lack vocal cord control)
I also talk to and feed 2 wild crows everyday.1 male 1 female. The male says hello and I can feed him by hand. Wonderful creatures and very affectionate.
He wants food or attention. My bird does the same. Boy he's talking a lot. I just love all these creatures of this Earth ❤️.. Stop Fighting with your brother. Thanks for sharing 😍.
I would LOVE to have one of these wonderful beautiful birds!!! They are awesome. Between all wildlife/animals in the world BIRDS ARE MY NUMBER ONE HANDA DOWN FAVORITE
I love this, what gorgeous little souls Pie and his friends are. Cheered me up and I'll never look at the crows and magpies the same way again, I never realised they could talk so well! Keep bringing us these lovely videos guys! 😊
Awwww SO ADORABLE! This is too much cuteness overload, I love such smart beautiful soul is obvious he is highly loved....amazing what LOVE can do! Thank you
What an amazingly smart little creature. He really makes you wonder just how wrong we might be on the intelligence of other species. He's tiny, his brain mass is far smaller than even a cat but look at what he can do! Thank you for sharing :). He talks up a storm but it left me speechless lol.
And thats where the mistake goes. Its not only about the mass, its about the brain itself. A guy above 2 meters has a bigger brain because he is bigger but has the same brain. Doesnt make him smarter other than depending on his genes and experiences
Their brain to body ratio is very big actually comparable to chimps and a little smaller than humans. Meaning they have very big brains for their size they probably are smarter than us in some ways
I had a couple of magpies living in a tree in my yard. Rarely saw them, but I had Nokia text message sounds coming from the tree all summer long... And I think they must have been the ones leaving shiny, little gifts for me on the hood of my car. A broken ear ring I'd never seen before stands out as the most remarkable one. Amazing birds!
Incredible birds. I love how you love them. Which is plain to see they love you. I would rather watch videos on birds and animals than people. Please keep your videos coming
Wowwww.... what a smart lovely n talkative sweet bird he is 😍😙 he loves to talks a lot :) so happy to hv a beautiful joyful pet at home 😙😙❤❤❤ many kisses n loves frm me to Pie 🐧🐧
