There was actually a case where a parrot learned to say "Help me!!!!" to get its owners attention. It did it once when the delivery man was dropping off a package and he called the cops 😂
James Taylor I knew a thief, he actually experienced that with my old neighbor who was a recently widowed 60 year old woman, who was considered to have gone a bit crazy.
Right. Lol. No wonder the parrot doesn’t want to talk with her,”you wanna cracker?”,”no I want a apple!”(bird:/parrot). “Huhhh”,”you want a cracker???”.🐔🐧🦜🦨🦜
The saddest part about these long lived birds is that people do tend to inherit them from deceased relatives. So you sometimes hear them echoing the voice of loved ones that have passed. Well, until you hear your late grandma telling you to shut the hell up.
I was at a greenhouse with my kids shopping for plants. We stopped in front of a cage with a bird and I said to the kids, “I wonder if this bird can talk?”. The bird replied, “birds can’t talk” right on cue.
Birds are amazing creatures, especially Parrots. I remember one time, I was in a store with my parents back in the late 70's. It was a type of thrift store but the owner had a miner bird. I got lost and called for my mom and dad. The bird mimicked the tone of my voice and vocal articulation PERFECTLY. SO perfectly in fact. that my parents went to the sound of the bird's voice expecting to find me.

Omg I love it, it's when they do that menacing laugh where they extend the "ahhhhh-haa-haa-haaa-haaaaaa" is when it get's terrifying, especially if they have a blanket covering their enclosures, omg 😂
Pretty certain teaching the bird "God damn bird" was unintentional :P Parrots with weaker mimicking skills use their "own voice" so to speak, for instance Ara parrots. And aras can be very chatty as well, but they do not mimic the voice of the owner.
As a bird owner (African grey) I personally tune out literally everything he says now, I feel bad when people come over and get freaked out by the talking until I explain that our bird can talk.
@@thedredgod this csan be a bad thing too. my bird for awhile mimic'd my ex's voice saying some trigger phrases for me (ex assaulted me). I had to learn for my bird to ignore those phrases and really it was better for my healing than anything. he doesn't say those now tho.
When I was very young the pet section of a store we'd go to had a talking Myna Bird named Sam, and one of the things he used say in a surprised voice was "FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS?!!!" Which is what they wanted for him. So evidently he picked it up from some of the customers who went there. LOL
The first Macaw that was at the petstore I work at had been there for 3 months before I started and he was already starting to pick up the phrase “how much” I assume because it was easier than “6 and a half grand”
@@AnarchyPenguin There are some smart birds available, but I'm not really a pet bird person. Their like kids in my opinion, they're great as long as they're someone else's, and they or I can go away. 😁
@Kevin Dorfman hahah that cracked me up. Most of it is high pitched, "whose a good girl, you're so cute, etc" then suddenly old grumpy man voice: "god d*mn bird"
Must be strange to hear him mimicking your parents. Great you took him in. I'm kind of worried about all those videos of young birds. What will their future be like....
ab vevo I think that’s what the original commenter was worried about: the young parrots’ owners finding out how long they live and how much work they require and potentially deciding that they no longer want the parrot. I don’t think the commenter has an issue with birds; I think they’re worried about whether or not they have a good home.
harry nac I feel like people don't realize how much effort and dedication a bird takes. I considered having one as a pet as I love to watch them do their own thing and they're really fun to interact with. Ultimately though they're not a good fit for my lifestyle. I can only imagine how those scared some birds get when they get passed around from owner to owner.
Personal experience: My bird is only, hmm....4 years old. He'll probably live until I'm almost 40, at least. The demographic of bird owners has become more well-read on their care, and much younger, like me. Also, a lot of people are adopting, and fostering parrots with owners who passed away. There's still a lot of homeless birds, and it's bad that animals are bred en masse in general, but it is getting better. Also, rule of thumb: Smaller birds live around 20, 30+ years, Larger birds live around 50, 60+ years. However their lifespan has increased insane amounts by learning more about parrots. Many people are told budgerigar parakeets only live about 5 or 10 years, and cockatiels 10 or 15, but as we go on, there's been more and more 13+ year old budgies, and 20, 25+ year old cockatiels.
My Mother's bird Bart used to call out my Dad's name, 'Wayne', three times in a row, in Mom's EXACT voice, increasingly loud and increasingly emphatic (something Bart learned from hearing her), making Dad run thru the house to see what was wrong... it was hilarious to everyone but my Dad.
@Jennifer 6strings There are many parrot rescue group that have birds in need of homes. I have a 26 year old Yellow Nape Amazon who has been with me 23 years. I rescued him from a man who said he was going to leave him in his cage on the side of the highway. I have no doubt he meant it. There are things you should know about having a bird as a family member but most of it is common sense like they need a good diet and proper environment. Some larger cities have clubs where you can learn from experienced owners. I got my first bird when I was 3 and have had one or more since. I can honestly stay that it has been a rewarding part of my life.
My grandma had a parrot name Kiwi that would charge at her small dogs with its wings extended laughing maniacally. The dogs were super scared of him 🤣 He’d also laugh like a madman right before biting you and chasing you.
Many years ago, there was pet store in a mall that I used to go to. They had a parrot named Chips who would sit on his perch and talk to customers. One day I was in the store and Chips was eating a peanut. He dropped the peanut and said "Oh shit!" I thought I was going to die laughing!
I love that too, and it's interesting that they repeat the 'pretty' and not 'bird', it shows that they are smart and know that adjectives can be repeated but not nouns 😅
@BallOnEm PBS once my grandmother was insulting her looks and our cockatiel said 'pretty girl' out of nowhere. HAHA. My grandmother looks great for her age, she'll be 85 this year and people say she looks to be in her late 60s to early 70s.
@@lizgawin899 - When I tell the elderly that they look great, they asked me, "Don't you mean for my age?" They really don't like hearing that phrase; it is *not* a compliment. It's the same as telling somebody that they look like crap, but just a bit better than all the other crappy-looking people. Please stop adding, "...for your age" -- nobody likes hearing that about themselves. How about just saying that your grandma is in her 80s and she looks great? I think she would really like that 😊
My dad had a bird when I was a child my dad would always ask “who’s a pretty bird” and the bird would reply saying “I’m a pretty birdie. I’m a pretty birdie” It was precious
rubbish I don't believe that for a second. Parrots mimic sounds but they don't have the capacity to construct language. So if you ask a bird a question and it answers in a constructive way...as you suggest, then it was still merely still just repeating what it has heard, and it was just a fluke that it sounded like an answer.
@@PetroicaRodinogaster264 You are wrong. Do some research. Birds are far smarter than thought-especially corvids, who exhibit problem-solving when presented with something they want that is closed away. They will even fashion a tool-for example, fetch a twig to pry out something tasty, and if it isn’t long enough, they’ll go get a longer one; if it’s too long, they’ll nibble it down to size. They manipulate their environment and they teach others in their flock the same behaviour. Long-lived birds like parrots are bright and have long memories, excellent eye-sight, and natural talent for not just mimicry but using that mimicry in the wild, untaught. Ever heard of evolution? It’s still happening. Oh, and birds are what dinosaurs became. They prove brain SIZE is not the main factor in intelligence, as humans constantly prove. There have been excellent programmes, especially on NOVA thru PBS-US, and National Geographic. Don’t be so closed-minded.
The amount of intelligence needed for them to listen to us and accurately reproduce what we're saying is absolutely mind boggling. Birds are super smart.
I have a 70 year old called boy birb. Rescued him from a lady that had all the time in the world for her horses, but no time for boy to feed him, let him have flight time(free time out of his cage, , buy him a strong bedroom(cage) and toys, og cage was ment for a budgie, old and very dirty, he had 1 toy, a budgie mirror. His claws where so over grown he couldn’t move, his purchase where for a budgie, he had no strength in his feetAnd on top of all of that her huge dog kept trying to attack poor boy birb. Now he’s a happy boy, has lots of toys, a large bedroom, good food, lots of head scratch’s, treats, and strong feet, and a young bird sister from a different mister, a Congo African gray called Ella
blaidencortel I understand completely, I also have a old fully grown spur thigh tortoise called freya, another rescue, who was kept outside all year round, in a rabbit hutch, attached by a dog, had very very bad mouth rot and a eye infection when I got her, I’ could tell something was wrong with her, when she wouldn’t eat or drink, thank goodness for strawberries, the juice gave her a bit of energy (I got her late Friday evening)so I had to wait till Monday, to get her to the vet, the vet told me if I’ hadn’t brought her in when I did she would’ve died, the amount of nasty stuff he had to remove from her mouth and the pain she must of been in still makes me cry, fre-yas mouth was raw under all the nasty,the vet gave her a injection of antibiotics, and I had to give her oral pain meds and antibiotics for a month, I could tell immediately when she started feeling better, the vet also told me she’s blind in one eye,caused by the eye infection not being treated for god knows how long, she was also over weight from only eating her hay bedding (at lest she had something to eat), she also had no access to water, poor being was so dehydrated, I have no idea how old she is, the vet just said old. Now Freya’s a very healthy house tortoise, living in a very big indoor rabbit cage, with a water tray that I call her swimming pool(it’s deep enough that she can drink, but no drown) in my bedroom, the first time I put her on grass my poor daughtus ( my daughter tortoise, every though she’s a lot older then me, 26), on grass she hid in her shell, we are working on building her confidence, and getting her used to grass, it’s a work in progress, I have other nickname for Freya, my shellbumkin, I called her fre-ya, because she’s free yay, from neglect, her full name is Freya petal and I love her with all my heart, she’s such a sweet lady tortoise, I might upload a few videos onto my UA-cam if anyone is interested, I have a few other rescue animal family members, animals are family in my home
My mother had an African Grey and all that thing would ever do is mimic her laughter. She would spend hours every night watching stuff on TV that made her laugh, so that bird knew every one of her laughs and cackles and giggles.
My budgie is starting to speak and it’s extremely disorienting hearing my voice from the other room & then realizing it’s him 🤣. They are clever beings & I am so thankful to have a little one be a part of my family.
@@DowntownSound1 Budgies are INCREDIBLE talkers. They're smart af. I had one who lived to be 12 and had an incredible vocabulary. He knew what he was saying, too, they have associational thinking just like the bigger birds.
My sister had a parrot that I taught to call the cat. He would call, "Here kitty kitty kitty. Come on kitty" He would do it over and over and it drove the cat nuts. LOL!
my great uncle had a parrot that would dip its beak in his beer, quickly get drunk, and proceeded to walk along the edge of the couch, fall off it, and say "f***ing damnit" 😂
In Germany, my Godmother had an AGray that learnt many 'smart' words. When somebody came to visit, he (Bimbo) would say "Hey! Fat ass!" Bimbo passed away at 40 years of age after a brief illness.
Well... there's probably elephants, Gators, some varieties of snakes, sperm whales, turtles, and other long lived animals that are older than us as well.
Listen, idk if that actually was a typo or a disease, but there was no reason to get like that. If they were wrong about it being a typo, you should’ve just explained it not got all defensive for no reason •_•
It’s interesting the birds able to recreate the sound of her owners laugh, you can tell it’s not a laugh from the stomach, but it somehow still sounds like it is!
My birds used to yell "shut tf upppp!" 😂😂😂 But then again we had 7 at one time so as soon as the sun rose until it was dark they were constantly screaming and yelling 😂
I have a sun conure that is told "no bite" when he does nip us hard enough to warrant scolding and beak holding. Anyway, whenever someone does something that annoys him, i.e. too much scratching, they are told "no bite"
I'm "auntie" to a 33 year old YNA named Verdi and I hope that she stays as healthy as Baby when she gets to that age! You've done a great job of loving and caring for her.
In Shreveport once I was on my girlfriend’s porch when I heard someone say “Help Me, Help me!” I went over to the west side of the house where an older lady lived. She had a fence gate there though the fence was long gone and a concrete drive. In the drive was a puddle that , due to settling wasn’t big but was extensive. In this puddle was a parrot the lady had inherited because her husband had died some years before. I think she had put him on the gate to get some air while she took a nap. The poor bird was standing in a shallow part of the puddle going from foot to foot. When he raised a foot he would say “Help Me!” Then go to the other foot with the same refrain. I got to know him a bit while my soon to be wife lived in this duplex an learned that the two of them(the older lady and the parrot) didn’t have the best of relationships. Sometimes when we were eating dinner in my GF’s appt we would hear the elderly lady talking to the parrot. He would say things like “You old bat” and she would come back with something smart like “shut up.”
Birds don't just copy laughter. I was watching a video on UA-cam and our parrot (who was stood on my shoulder) started rocking from side to side, laughing really hard. My attention had been diverted for a second, I looked at the monitor and when I saw what our parrot was watching, I realised it was funny and I started to laugh. But she began to laugh first...
@BallOnEm PBS They can associate things together. Another string of comments was people talking about how their birds when upset will repeat what you say to them when you are upset (even if it doesn't apply.) One person said their bird will say "Don't bite" if someone scratches them or annoys them for too long (because they would tell the bird not to bite when it did something wrong.) Some birds do seem to have mild comprehension though, but a lot of it is probably just associating things together.
@@haruhirogrimgar6047 they definitely understand to a degree. The same as a young child - regardless of the words set they have an innate understanding of grammar just like us. Very cool.
I think your bird predicted that you were about to laugh. laughter is just another song to her. she wanted to sing along with you and since she already knew what song you were about to start she beat you to the punch.
Taking God's name in vain is not amusing... Exodus 20:7 reads: Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.

It goes to show you all animals have a different personality. They are all special just like each human 💞 I'm so grateful that we were given beautiful animals to cherish
Animals are amazing but these parrots adopt personality from the people they are exposed to. Its mimicry through repetition, no credit taken away from how amazing birds are but it's hardly their own personality.
I have a friend that has a yellow naped Amazon. Hes hilarious. If she has company or just takking on her phone and not giving Jack all of her attention he gets louder and louder until she starts talking to him instead. Your bird is just beautiful.

Well, your friends bird get rewarded for his demanding behaviour, so yes that's the problem. Maybe take that phonecall in a room where her parrot cannot interrupt her? Just an idea. ;-)

I'll never forget this one NoSleep Podcast story about a woman inheriting a parrot and it beginning to mimic a creepy voices and sounds. Turns out, there was a peeping tom watching her everyday and the bird was repeating his sexual moans and comments about her. It's is one of the more legitimately terrifying stories they've ever had.
@@mikael2748 oh, no man. Unfortunately not. Sorry if I mislead you. NoSleep Podcast is actually a well produced show that tells short fictional horror stories along with actual voice actors, original music and sound. Some of them are 5 minutes long, some are up to 2 hours, but while the quality of each story varies, the entire production as a whole is genuinely great.
I’ve had my crowned amazing since 1978 when I was just a small child and we bought him from an elderly couple and never found out how old he was when we bought him. He was my father’s bird who became mine 22 years ago. When it’s just the two of us, Popeye and I, he is very calm and friendly. When my son is with me however, my bird turns on me due to his jealousy. If let out of his cage, he would attack me with bad intentions. I’ve been a single dad since 2008 and my relationship with my son is very close. My bird absolutely hates it. He will start screaming relentlessly if he hears us talking, particularly if we’re laughing at something. I love him (the bird) but holy sh*t is he ever an arse sometimes.
Amber Galway he lets my son pet him, when I’m in eyeshot. He literally watches me while my son tickles him (through the cage). If I try, he backs off and glows his eyes. When my son isn’t home, he’s affectionate and I can flip him over and tickle his belly.
My Double Yellow Headed Amazon is about 40-50 years old, she loves me so much, the only time she really bites me is when someone else comes in the room and she gets jealous😋
Funny you should say that because I read recently that a parrot was actually brought into court as a witness to a murder investigation. I say funny, but it's sad.
That did happen. A neighbor called because she heard someone yelling help me from a house but when police came the man went back in and got his parrot while the wife filmed it screaming for help at the police.
That sounds just like my yellow nape Brian! Especially the chuckling and giggling. Brian often cracks himself up. My bird doesn't talk as much though, preferring to sing bad fake opera and whistle, and cry like an infant. That crying still cracks me up after 30 years. When I record it the camera always shakes LOL
i have a 28 tear old African gray, he's a rescue, i'm like his 3rd owner (for 9 yrs). some nights when i come home from work at 11 pm to a dark apartment, i hear a woman's voice say, " you go potty! Good bird!". he may have been trained, but maybe he forgot. or he just likes to poop on me.
Owners are usually quite affectionate with their pets, so their voices will get higher when addressing them. I'd say "hi" like that to any and all animals. :3
It is SO AMAZING the connection and pure love you feel for these birds almost right away. I love your beautiful bird!!! She seems so sweet and she’s just so cute!!! Thank you 🙏 She’s just like a two year old toddler and who can resist the emotions.

Personal experience: My bird is only, hmm....4 years old. He'll probably live until I'm almost 40, at least. The demographic of bird owners has become more well-read on their care, and much younger, like me. Also, a lot of people are adopting, and fostering parrots with owners who passed away. There's still a lot of homeless birds, and it's bad that animals are bred en masse in general, but it is getting better.
Also, rule of thumb: Smaller birds live around 20, 30+ years, Larger birds live around 50, 60+ years. However their lifespan has increased insane amounts by learning more about parrots. Many people are told budgerigar parakeets only live about 5 or 10 years, and cockatiels 10 or 15, but as we go on, there's been more and more 13+ year old budgies, and 20, 25+ year old cockatiels.
My Mother's bird Bart used to call out my Dad's name, 'Wayne', three times in a row, in Mom's EXACT voice, increasingly loud and increasingly emphatic (something Bart learned from hearing her), making Dad run thru the house to see what was wrong... it was hilarious to everyone but my Dad.
My Amazon is 50 years old too! And I love him sooo much I have had him for 45 years.
Wow
@@stevek-fn6wz Amazons in captivity have a lifespan of between 80-90 years, Steve.
Life goals! 45 years is impressive.
@Jennifer 6strings There are many parrot rescue group that have birds in need of homes. I have a 26 year old Yellow Nape Amazon who has been with me 23 years. I rescued him from a man who said he was going to leave him in his cage on the side of the highway. I have no doubt he meant it.
There are things you should know about having a bird as a family member but most of it is common sense like they need a good diet and proper environment. Some larger cities have clubs where you can learn from experienced owners. I got my first bird when I was 3 and have had one or more since. I can honestly stay that it has been a rewarding part of my life.
That is Amazing and A Loving Bond to Keep him That Healthy! is an Outstanding Feat. Of Yours. Well done.
Love and light. ♡♡ ♡♡

My grandma had a parrot name Kiwi that would charge at her small dogs with its wings extended laughing maniacally. The dogs were super scared of him 🤣 He’d also laugh like a madman right before biting you and chasing you.

Many years ago, there was pet store in a mall that I used to go to. They had a parrot named Chips who would sit on his perch and talk to customers. One day I was in the store and Chips was eating a peanut. He dropped the peanut and said "Oh shit!" I thought I was going to die laughing!
I love it when parrots say “pretty pretty pretty pretty bird” ‘cause sometimes they go on forever with the “pretty” and it’s hysterical
I love that too, and it's interesting that they repeat the 'pretty' and not 'bird', it shows that they are smart and know that adjectives can be repeated but not nouns 😅
My little quaker parrot does this too.
@BallOnEm PBS once my grandmother was insulting her looks and our cockatiel said 'pretty girl' out of nowhere. HAHA. My grandmother looks great for her age, she'll be 85 this year and people say she looks to be in her late 60s to early 70s.
@@lizgawin899 - When I tell the elderly that they look great, they asked me, "Don't you mean for my age?" They really don't like hearing that phrase; it is *not* a compliment. It's the same as telling somebody that they look like crap, but just a bit better than all the other crappy-looking people. Please stop adding, "...for your age" -- nobody likes hearing that about themselves. How about just saying that your grandma is in her 80s and she looks great? I think she would really like that 😊

rubbish I don't believe that for a second. Parrots mimic sounds but they don't have the capacity to construct language. So if you ask a bird a question and it answers in a constructive way...as you suggest, then it was still merely still just repeating what it has heard, and it was just a fluke that it sounded like an answer.
@@PetroicaRodinogaster264 type 'einstein parrot' into youtube and retract this comment, lol.
@@PetroicaRodinogaster264 You are wrong. Do some research. Birds are far smarter than thought-especially corvids, who exhibit problem-solving when presented with something they want that is closed away. They will even fashion a tool-for example, fetch a twig to pry out something tasty, and if it isn’t long enough, they’ll go get a longer one; if it’s too long, they’ll nibble it down to size. They manipulate their environment and they teach others in their flock the same behaviour. Long-lived birds like parrots are bright and have long memories, excellent eye-sight, and natural talent for not just mimicry but using that mimicry in the wild, untaught. Ever heard of evolution? It’s still happening. Oh, and birds are what dinosaurs became. They prove brain SIZE is not the main factor in intelligence, as humans constantly prove.
There have been excellent programmes, especially on NOVA thru PBS-US, and National Geographic. Don’t be so closed-minded.

His claws where so over grown he couldn’t move, his purchase where for a budgie, he had no strength in his feetAnd on top of all of that her huge dog kept trying to attack poor boy birb.

blaidencortel I understand completely, I also have a old fully grown spur thigh tortoise called freya, another rescue, who was kept outside all year round, in a rabbit hutch, attached by a dog, had very very bad mouth rot and a eye infection when I got her, I’ could tell something was wrong with her, when she wouldn’t eat or drink, thank goodness for strawberries, the juice gave her a bit of energy (I got her late Friday evening)so I had to wait till Monday, to get her to the vet, the vet told me if I’ hadn’t brought her in when I did she would’ve died, the amount of nasty stuff he had to remove from her mouth and the pain she must of been in still makes me cry, fre-yas mouth was raw under all the nasty,the vet gave her a injection of antibiotics, and I had to give her oral pain meds and antibiotics for a month, I could tell immediately when she started feeling better, the vet also told me she’s blind in one eye,caused by the eye infection not being treated for god knows how long, she was also over weight from only eating her hay bedding (at lest she had something to eat), she also had no access to water, poor being was so dehydrated, I have no idea how old she is, the vet just said old.
Now Freya’s a very healthy house tortoise, living in a very big indoor rabbit cage, with a water tray that I call her swimming pool(it’s deep enough that she can drink, but no drown) in my bedroom, the first time I put her on grass my poor daughtus ( my daughter tortoise, every though she’s a lot older then me, 26), on grass she hid in her shell, we are working on building her confidence, and getting her used to grass, it’s a work in progress, I have other nickname for Freya, my shellbumkin,
I called her fre-ya, because she’s free yay, from neglect, her full name is Freya petal and I love her with all my heart, she’s such a sweet lady tortoise, I might upload a few videos onto my UA-cam if anyone is interested, I have a few other rescue animal family members, animals are family in my home

In Shreveport once I was on my girlfriend’s porch when I heard someone say “Help Me, Help me!” I went over to the west side of the house where an older lady lived. She had a fence gate there though the fence was long gone and a concrete drive. In the drive was a puddle that , due to settling wasn’t big but was extensive. In this puddle was a parrot the lady had inherited because her husband had died some years before. I think she had put him on the gate to get some air while she took a nap. The poor bird was standing in a shallow part of the puddle going from foot to foot. When he raised a foot he would say “Help Me!” Then go to the other foot with the same refrain. I got to know him a bit while my soon to be wife lived in this duplex an learned that the two of them(the older lady and the parrot) didn’t have the best of relationships. Sometimes when we were eating dinner in my GF’s appt we would hear the elderly lady talking to the parrot. He would say things like “You old bat” and she would come back with something smart like “shut up.”
I had my lovely Lulu for over 40 years my heart is broken.Cherish every second you have with these super intelligent creatures. I miss her so much.

Birds don't just copy laughter. I was watching a video on UA-cam and our parrot (who was stood on my shoulder) started rocking from side to side, laughing really hard. My attention had been diverted for a second, I looked at the monitor and when I saw what our parrot was watching, I realised it was funny and I started to laugh. But she began to laugh first...
thats interesting
@BallOnEm PBS They can associate things together. Another string of comments was people talking about how their birds when upset will repeat what you say to them when you are upset (even if it doesn't apply.) One person said their bird will say "Don't bite" if someone scratches them or annoys them for too long (because they would tell the bird not to bite when it did something wrong.)
Some birds do seem to have mild comprehension though, but a lot of it is probably just associating things together.
@@haruhirogrimgar6047 they definitely understand to a degree. The same as a young child - regardless of the words set they have an innate understanding of grammar just like us. Very cool.
I think your bird predicted that you were about to laugh. laughter is just another song to her. she wanted to sing along with you and since she already knew what song you were about to start she beat you to the punch.

I love how parrots range in tone from screeching toddler to concerned grandmother
I’ve had my crowned amazing since 1978 when I was just a small child and we bought him from an elderly couple and never found out how old he was when we bought him. He was my father’s bird who became mine 22 years ago. When it’s just the two of us, Popeye and I, he is very calm and friendly. When my son is with me however, my bird turns on me due to his jealousy. If let out of his cage, he would attack me with bad intentions. I’ve been a single dad since 2008 and my relationship with my son is very close. My bird absolutely hates it. He will start screaming relentlessly if he hears us talking, particularly if we’re laughing at something. I love him (the bird) but holy sh*t is he ever an arse sometimes.
Hmmmm maybe slowly introduce your son to the bird...like have him talk to said bird from the cage. And slowly show said bird your son isn't a threat.
Amber Galway he lets my son pet him, when I’m in eyeshot. He literally watches me while my son tickles him (through the cage). If I try, he backs off and glows his eyes. When my son isn’t home, he’s affectionate and I can flip him over and tickle his belly.
My Double Yellow Headed Amazon is about 40-50 years old, she loves me so much, the only time she really bites me is when someone else comes in the room and she gets jealous😋
I think you meant to say Red-crowned Amazon, correct?
I would guess the bird views you as his/her mate and therefore your son is competition.
