From what I have heard, the reason why they are illegal is because a lot of people used to buy these birds before contemplating what big of a responsibility you gotta have to take care of them. As a result, a whole lot of them get released out there, which is bad because they only thrive in tropical environments. New Jersey has all the seasons all year round, so it can be really bad for the birds. So I'm guessing that's why. I actually have one of these birds myself. Me and my family live in New York, so we believe that he may have been from Jersey. It was in the middle of February and the poor thing was freezing! The neighbors found him and decided not to keep him. We've been taking care of him ever since. It's a shame they're illegal because they make great pets. But at the same time I understand. I love Coty, and it breaks my heart remembering my little feather ball freezing like that...
@@bari2883 They’re so smart! Domesticated birds that are well taken care of love their cages. They have their loved ones around, and the cages are their little homes.
They definitely seem to know. Every time I ask my IR something like "You my handsome boy?" he replies "mhuh" Idk if he simply knows when it's a question looking for a reply by an upward inflexion in that scenario. When he was a baby; he saw snow falling, ran along his perch & said "WOW!" (not a word I'd taught) & when I pointed at a magpie he saw it, turned to me & said "Oh, good boy!" 😍
@gumbess ... ok...so you can't hear all the chirping in the background? you can't see the man preparing many bowls of food for the birds? take off the blinders and the ear plugs BEFORE you make a fool of yourself by making ignorant comments!
I love when they pass on the love they have received from their caretakers to their babies or toys. You can tell his human kissed him a lot to show love, so he is kissing his bunny toy/pet to show his love. He totally gets the concept! Wow! 💕💕💕
damn it, how dare you! I can't believe you have done this.. Uploading something this cute could cause the internet to implode on itself! Just give it time, watch. this video will be the end of us all
This has to be the smartest, cutest, most perfect companion I've ever seen. This beautiful bird is scary intelligent full of personality and blows adorable meter right off the charts. 😍🐦
just saw Marnies B day video... he is cuteness overload... hope he is still around and having a great time with his bunnies... he has such a big personalities
I got to tell you this is one of the cutest things ever when he walks away and comes back and like he sneaking up and says peek-a-boo. You have a very special little guy there
this still blows me away. it's not just the way he can playback sound, it's when he does the peekaboo, he's actually doing it, not just making the noise. it's amazing
I agree with Baked Bear..this video is simply not fair! Such cuteness in one place?!?! I have fallen. I will not attempt to get up. 'Peeek a boo!' OMG. *dies* *happily*
I saw Marnie's picture on KOB4 parade of pets and had to find out for myself how talented he was.... Oh me gosh too much cuteness in one bird! 🥰 Weapon Grade Cuteness!
OMG, I can not believe Marnie exists. He is the most amazing, loving, intelligent and super cute parrot. I have subscribed and looking forward to more videos. This has made a really bad day seem insignificant. I am so cheered up, my heart has melted and I can't stop smilling. He is more like a little Angel than a bird. Thank you for sharing him with us here on youtube.
he a sweetheart. If i had him i would never get anything done i would be to busy playing with him. Why is it that all the cock birds seem to prefer female company
"Why is it that all the cock birds seem to prefer female company" --- There was a Tom cat that always wandered down to the local railway station and would always find a female to sit next to while she was waiting for the train. He only went to males if they had food.
I miss my yogi. He was blue with that adorable voice. This brought me many tears and so much joy. Thank you for posting it. Thank you for being the best bird parents ever. ♡
Valerie Woods Yeah sooo cute right! yh when theyre really happy/excited or when they're really angry their pupils contract like that :) my ringneck does that all the time, all parrots do
The most beutiful and moving part of this utterly adorable exchange was the love and kindness and delight and humour in Marnies parents words and voices... Heartwarming and gratitude inducing. So good to watch, and be part of, the awe and wonder... ❤️
I am finding this excruciating to watch as I cannot be there with this totally adorable bird and interact with it. Oh how he makes me so happy!!!❤️❤️❤️😊
I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS VIDEO! I watch it every day and it gets me smiling before I leave my house! Please put up more videos of your sweet bird friends for us to enjoy!!!
Now this bird is very interesting and loveable. I couldn't understand all this attention Max was getting just saying "hi". This bird I could watch all day.
I just got a female IRN she is 4 yrs old and has not been handled much. I put this video on and held my iPad up to her cage and it was the most interaction she has shown in the 2 weeks since I have had her. guess you know what will be on the big screen for her daily now LOL Hope it will teach her to talk also. she is the same color of blue also.
I just saw my first Marnie video on Facebook. I love him! And I have watched several of your videos. It is such a nice respite from all this coronavirus craziness right now. What birds repeat is a good indication what kind of person their owner is. Clearly you are very good people! ❤
OMG!!! You sweet, Beautiful Parrot! I just stumbled across your site! You are so beautiful and your colors are gorgeous! So much fun to watch and listen to! I can't wait to see more of you, Sweetheart!!!!
Guys, I love the video! One thing, and I only mention it to avoid a horrible tragedy, please cage this baby, or any bird, while burners on the stove are hot, the oven is on and open, or a ceiling fan is running. All it takes is something to spook the little guy or otherwise cause him to fly and land in a hot pan or pot, or hit a ceiling fan and you will suffer a lifetime of guilt and regret. Never had it happen with a stove but several friends have lost their beautiful feather babies to ceiling fans. Take care and keep sharing those wonderful videos!
Your bird has become a meme between my friend and I and we have quoted various phrases for years "whacha DOIN?" "whewwwww it's so CUTE" lol we're weird.
Aren’t they wonderful!? I use to have a parakeet and he was like a baby brother to the family. He’d play games with us eat with us. We had him for nine years. The family was in true mourning for a very long time. It was sad but now I realize what a wonderful gift he was
I love Marnie. He sure loves his new friend. Wants to play peekaboo with it. Maybe you should place a scarf over bunny's head and act like its playing peekaboo with Marnie. Really sweet video. Thanks for sharing.
people love my cockatoo and sometimes talk about wanting one. I always say NO ! its a toddler for life and few can make that kind of commitment. I keep telling them to try an Indian Ringneck. They seem to have sweet personalities and not so much work I hope someone gets one . would love to see that
elizabeth barrett Agree on the toddler comment. I saw a meme that said owning a bird is like having a bipolar toddler. I think it's pretty accurate. Cockatoos are lovey dovey (I have an umbrella) but they are very vocal and with those huge beaks they destroy anything they can get their beaks on. Actually almost every bird gets vocal and temperamental and they need lots of attention. But a fluffy bird who is getting his head scratched is THE greatest stress reliever for me.
Large cockatoos are indeed the most needy, hyper, ears-destroying and agressive when jealous parrot there are. Their bite also does alot of damage and they do bite. The cost of monthly toys, food, vet visits, etc, will rise quickly. They are all nice and cuddly untill puberty, then most turn into feathered devils and end-up alone in a basement or a bird shelter after the owner or a visitor got bit or terrorized by the INSANELY LOUD SCREAMING one time too many. Unexperienced people looking for a parrot should look into cockatiels ( possibly the least noisy, most easy to tame, bite less, less damage on bite ), lovebirds, conures ( watch out, some like the Sun conure scream insanely loud given their size ), galah, indian ringnecks (as in this video, they are a bit loud and can bite deep), Baraband's parrot ( the females are less social ), Senegal parrot, Hahn's macaw, etc. ( Quaker parrots are forbidden in many places as they easily become an invasive species. ) If you plan to get some experience before switching to larger parrots, adopt an older small parrot. When ready for a large parrot years later, after your first one dies, still avoid large cockatoos. Amazons, african greys, large macaws, eclectus parrots, etc, are worlds apart from large cockatoos in how easier they are to care for. ( I stress easiER, not easy. ) Frankly, untill selective breeding yields alot more tame, even-tempered and less loud adult large cockatoos, they will be unfit as pets for all but the most experienced and dedicated parrot enthousiasts. There are dozens of better-suited other large parrots to choose from. If people learned more about the parrot they plan to get before, they would know what to expect and be less likely to make mistakes and give-up. For the exceptional person still willing to get a large cockatoo : great! birds shelters are full of them! Contact one.
Just research, think about your lifestyle, bird needs, etc and then decide. Too many just buy one and then understand. I think that is true of almost any animal we want as a pet.
My GOD. So cute and loving and talking is this parrot. As this parrot is doing this, I get an urge to hug, hold, snd kiss this CUTE ONE. If any person, after watchig this cute parrot, does not get irresistble urge to LOVE , that person will b considered heart-less.
"you're so cute! what are you doing? Hello! give me a kiss... wooo!"
It's like talking to somebody whose mind is everywhere lmao that's so adorable
You said it, adorable
That's how I talk to my kids. And grandkids. And nieces and nephews.

It should be illegal for this bird to be this adorable,the adorableness is melting my heart!

Did he say, “YOU’RE so cute,” to the bunny and, “HE’S so cute,” to the humans!?! If so, that is truly amazing.
He is from what I can tell. It's adorable.
Yes yes he did. They told him to give it a kiss and he kissed it too. They are smart its sad that they are caged tho.
very smart birb
@@bari2883 They’re so smart! Domesticated birds that are well taken care of love their cages. They have their loved ones around, and the cages are their little homes.
@@ballsakshafttipspray yes I know captive birds see their cage as security. But many are not as lucky as this one. They take amazing care of them.
he uses his words in context. he understands `cute`
a common trait in the more inteligent species of parrots...they do much more than mindless mimicking
This little birdie has a good heart!! ♥️♥️♥️
@@southernskeeter9634 Every birdie does.
(:

Also thank you after kissing the bunny
It's crazy how quickly and dramatically their pupils adjust
thats called pinning!! parrots do it when they get excited over something. this bird is absolutely pumped about his new toy
Yeah my budgie does this when he's playing
Also when birds get close to something - usual eye behaviour.
Bunny:
Parrot: She's a little slow.
"I love you" "How ya doin'?" "Weeeeeeeeeee"

Don't worry, it gets worse in 5 years :P ;)
@@intrepidnick2939 orh! 😄 ok, maybe it's true, but still... 😸
I hope you've felt better since. ☺
If you'd only known what was coming...
@@moonharp honestly, we don't have it that rough.
OMG how adorable ....you are so blessed to have such a loving bird....
But is the bird blessed to live in such an environment and to be a toy in the hands of inconsiderate humans?
@@anacletwilliams8315
He looks alright to me. Birds need stimulation and he's getting it!
🐦🐇
Marnie is politer than a lot of people I know :D
More polite.
Amen to this
Depends somewhat on if he got the pronouns right. Unless that bunny identifies as any other gender than male, he did brilliantly.
Politer??? You mean more polite. Politer is not a word....hahaha. Funny though.
@@GrassPossum huh
I stumbled upon this video on another parrot binge and honestly, holy hell, that parrot of yours is a heart attack inducing little cutie!
Now that's a creative comment!! Loved it and thanks ....glad you enjoyed my little Marnie!!
'Another parrot binge' LOL! I'm glad I'm not the only one.
I been on a binge to my wife be you watching birds again
@gumbess ... ok...so you can't hear all the chirping in the background? you can't see the man preparing many bowls of food for the birds? take off the blinders and the ear plugs BEFORE you make a fool of yourself by making ignorant comments!

Not only can Marnie talk, but he has an American accent. It's fantastic. He's such a character. And he's so cute ❤️
Well yes, because he imitates his owner. French birds have French accents, Scottish birds have Scottish accents and so on lol.
He's so sweet when he says gimme kiss thank u,your so cute, and Peekaboo.☺️

Haha, "You're so cute" was the first phrase my parakeet learned. He's learning so many new phrases but it's still his favourite. 😊
I agree with Baked Bear..this video is simply not fair! Such cuteness in one place?!?! I have fallen. I will not attempt to get up. 'Peeek a boo!' OMG. *dies*
*happily*
I read your reply to Marnie...he said " that's so silly" !!! one of his more favorite things to say.....
My heart is melting like a popsicle....This is just too cute.
I saw Marnie's picture on KOB4 parade of pets and had to find out for myself how talented he was.... Oh me gosh too much cuteness in one bird! 🥰 Weapon Grade Cuteness!
Thanks! Was it on recently? And did they say he was a UA-cam star?
Marnie is a very sweet and intelligent bird. I love when he tells the bunny to give him a kiss. :) Adorable!
Adorable. (Difficult to believe people could dislike this unless they are stupid, mad, horrible or just plain jealous?)
@Alice Susan Harding Absolutely agree. A sad commentary on a lot of humans....😕😕😕🤷
Smart little birdie. Animals are alot smarter then we will ever know.
Every once in a while I have to re-watch this video. :3 He's such a sweetie pie.

He really is the most adorable bird on the internet.

literally the best diet they could possibly have, and they all clearly can't get enough lol
