    @Unni_Havas 4 роки тому +347

    They don't only mimic our sounds, they can understand human language too if you take the time to teach them(nor sure if all species can, but some). A friend of mine is a professional animal trainer and trained birds to use in shows for some time. Afterwards she kept a few of her favorite birds around. 1 of them act like a 2-4 year old kid. He can eat nicely from a plate, another of her birds same species made a mess. When he was hurt and had to go to the vet, afterwards he was sick and didn't want to eat. She told him that if he didn't eat she had to take him to the man in the white coat again(the vet), he then went over the the food bowl, ducked his head in, pretended to eat and kept an eye on her to see if she bought it. You could also ask him yes or no questions wich he would answer with moving his head. And he always answered correctly. You could ask him follow up questions too like why and he would again answer correctly. He would rat out anyone if they did something the owner didn't like. If she had him in the house she could hold him over a bucket and tell him to go and he did. He spend a lot of time as a house pet was around her a LOT in his younger years though, so don't expect to achieve this if you spend 30 min a day with your parrot.

    Just want to say that if you’re ever considering buying a parrot (that includes budgies and cockatiels) as a pet PLEASE do your research (it’s like having toddlers if you do it right) and consider ADOPTION! There are so many parrots in shelters that need a home! The average parrot will go through three homes in their lifetime before finding their “forever home”.

      Exactly. We got 4 words from the monkey and only one from a bird.
      Sheesh. The vid goes on and on about how great parrots are at speaking, and we didn't hear any parrots speaking. It's as bad as the Monty Python parrot, i.e. dead.
      Even the audio of the bird "singing more notes than there are on a piano in 1/10 oif a second" was unconvincing. You need to show us the wave form and the frequencies in it if you are going to claim things like that.

So, when abandoned, they Grieve. Parrots don't make good pets. They are simply too needy if you wan them to live a happy and fulfilled life.

    Many parrots can live anywhere between about 30 to 60 years and that's in captivity (it's lower when in the wild). They're the ultimate lifetime pet. I've only ever had dogs and a few cats, but having a parrot that can communicate would also be awesome.

    I have cockatiels and I love this video. They all whistle and imitate each other, but the oldest says “beijo beijo”, which means “kiss kiss” in Portuguese, and then replicates the sound of kissing. It’s impressive how smart and attentive they are
