    awwww... you know she's truly sorry for her mama because she is mellow and unusually gentle with her words, not being sassy and silly

    The volume change down alone shows a unique intelligence. But the words .. just amazing.

      ​@@rickwilliams967No, it's not. A few sounds, maybe. Ornithologists studying African Grey Parrots have stated the average parrot has roughly the same mentality as a 5-year-old child. Yes, it does repeat some sounds, but the birb does have a rudimentary understanding of words and what they mean, which becomes better with practice.

  • @markjohnson4217
    @markjohnson4217 2 місяці тому +66

    That is not mimicry, Cosmo was picking up on what she was feeling for real. The line "So get a paper towel..."
    THAT was the kicker..
    Just like us, trying to help by giving advice or helpful suggestions? That's mind blowing. There was only one camera cut here near the end. Mostly one long genuine shot so there were no vocal cues or commands. More empathy from a parrot than from most human beings..

  • @Axqu7227
    @Axqu7227 12 днів тому +17

    She was saying the things you say when she’s scared/ hurt/ upset to make her feel better because she knows those are the love and comfort words. That’s so cool. Do you use a paper towel to help clean up minor injuries of hers? Scrapes/ bumps/ broken blood feathers/ etc. If so that’s a doubly intelligent suggestion from her. She’s not only offering comfort, but trying to problem solve and fix your pain too. What a beautiful creature.

    • @Stormcrow-dc3ez
      @Stormcrow-dc3ez 9 днів тому +2

  • @archiesmum8601
    @archiesmum8601 Місяць тому +12

    She's so emotionally invested in how her Mom's feeling, she listens intently to every answer in order to guage what's going on & then responds accordingly...Cosmo shows perfectly what so many non pet owners just don't understand, that is whether or not they can verbalise it, our animals feel what we are feeling & it often shapes how this understanding on OUR feelings makes the bond between us & them strong, loving & mutually beneficial ❤❤❤❤
