BIRDS TALKING LIKE HUMANS #3

Try not to laugh at these hilarious parrots talking

[minibatman.]

I can’t even imagine the reaction of the first person to hear a bird talk.

My mum, and dad rescued a parrot from a very abusive old man. We affectionately called him pepper; because when he first got to our home he was very spicy, and over the years as he started to trust us. I figured out he absolutely loved music especially new kids on the block, but for some reason hated Beethoven. Pep would scream endlessly if we put one of his songs on, and dance happily to every thing else. When my dad got sick my uncle took over Peps care, and I still see him when I visit my uncle. It's been 40 years since we met Pep, and he is STILL the sweetest most loving bird I've ever met.

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.

I feel like that bird singing "Clementine" might have learned it 50+ years ago and still sings it to remember someone or a brid friend.

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

That nursery rhyme singing is legitimately one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen oml. That’s impressive for both the bird and the owner.

I love how all Amazonian parrots sound like Ethel Merman when they sing.

[Terensworth]

That budgie kills me, their mimicry sounds like someone puckered their lips before trying to talk, it's TOO cute.

[anthonymunoz]

Omg that crying bird sounds like a weeping baby too funny 😂

I love how African grays can mimic the tone of their humans voice. That last cockatoo has a white beak. First I've seen.

[ZaphodTHEBeeblebrox]

the "Hey! I love you." was so sweet 🥺

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.

That green parrot at 3:25 has some good vibrato. Daaamnnn

Once had a magpie who liked to sit up in a tree in my yard and meow like a cat, drove my dogs nuts.

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

My mom rescues parrots. And some of the stuff they come out with is VERY telling about the relationships their past humans had with each other.

[floydiandreamscapes]

It's amazing they're able to memorize an entire song. They really are very intelligent.

1st girl - you better go on and kiss that lil birdie back! 😚😆

[stephanieinthewild]

Oh my darling, oh my darling, ooooh my daaarling Clementine. Lol. 😂😂🤣😂🤣 So cute!!!

[meowwaffles]

I've always been spooked by how human ravens sound when they repeat stuff
