The thing that most may not get is just what IS going on here. Cupcake repeats bye bye over and over until you come closer. She was in her understanding of our language asking you to get closer! This is NOT A STRETCH! Once you came closer she did as you requested as well as lots of I love you’s! I have spent thousands of hours learning, hearing and have actually been blessed to study them in their natural habitat...we sell them short so much. We have no idea just how smart they are and sell them short always...myself included. I have nine living with me...my husband who never believed animals had any intelligence has also come to the realization that they are more remarkable than ever imagined, other than Dr. Irene Pepperberg. Her research of African greys was remarkable and brave..the greys however in my opinion have a chance of one in ten to meet the intellect that I’ve seen in EVERY macaw that I’ve encountered! Maybe it’s the beak that intimidates people. They are however less apt to be a risk to what one fears the most, getting bitten! They usually don’t poop on people that they love, they’re quiet and calm when treated well and taught properly how we as humans like to live. They are adaptable at most any age, meaning that you don’t need a baby to get an amazing relationship! This video just struck me in it’s simplicity. The love Cupcake shows is endearing. I adore these creatures and those who care for them properly. I’ve been committed, or committable, hahahaha, for forty-five years and I’ve learned so much. Each one is truly unique. They have a sense of humor...sometimes they seek revenge for their own perceived injustices. They love deeply and truly. They never cease to amaze me coming up with their own words at times when they don’t know what something should be called...fruit or cracker? Crapple! Funny yes? But oh so smart....you decide...I’ve always cursed the first person that thought it was a good idea to put a bird in a cage! We cannot free Willie for he died, (the whale), as would that be the fate of our birds. It just shouldn’t have happened in the first place.
There are B&G macaws on here (UA-cam) that have full conversations with their parents. No one can tell me that macaws simply mimic, that is a diabolical fallacy. What is communication using language anyway but a biological process in the brain; a selection of appropriate word by association, nothing special or endemic to grubby humans. We exalt ourselves as the chosen but humanity has made an absolute mess of the Earth with pollution and their murderous apathy of the creatures that inhabit this world.
@Wolf Ryder; I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your dear friend. We have been owned by a male Greenwing and a female Blue and Gold for sixteen years. The b&g is bonded closer to my husband and the greenwing is my boy. You will understand what I mean when I say he tickles my heart. He is so bonded to me and I to him that it just breaks my heart to hear of your loss. I am so very sorry and there are no words to express the loss I feel for you and your family. May memories of good times past get you through this painful time. Sincerely; Vicki Henderson

Our Parrot “Baytoven” is in love with her.
