That call loyalty

Or drunk ex

Shadow VI or just bored

Shadow VI it’s actually called flight training, aka a smart bird and experienced owner :)

Trust me it's not

That’s why I’m trying to learn about birds while I’m really young and get my dream bird so I can grow old with it..

@@brennakeene3988 awwwww

I want an african grey in the future so i dont have to cry my eyes out anytime with him

Actually many parrots live a long life like 30-40 years to 80 years. Not just this particular species.

ya parrots are lifelong companions

Damagon You might lose a nose lmao

Lmao

I can’t? Dang it! 😂😂😂😂😂

Yeah some humans are nice but not all Only for 1000iq wise birbs

Haha well I did it and they were happy for me 🥰

Yes. They are very reserved and observant.

Each have their own pros and cons.

Brandy Milles no such thing as a civilized bird as they should be free not kept locked up in a house, it’s cruel. In Australia there’s nothing more wonderful than seeing flocks of cockatoos flying free & in the trees screeching, & communicating with each other rather than housebound for the amusement of their selfish owners!

bellabana owners arent selfish they care for them and become friends with them

@@bellabana These birds like this one are happy where they are at so shut up!!!!!!

Kolibri nic3

Thats true..

Nice

I’m so sorry for your loss, Craig Manning!

Love is more important than trust.

I have two African Greys and a Sun Conure. All three are 27 years old. I could hold my little Tequila upside done. He's getting old and I'm getting sad. They are known to live only about an average of 20 years. My Greys I will have to put in my will.

@@cherylcook3688 Both my Green Cheeked Conure and my African red bellied parrot trust me enough to lie on their backs and the African red bellied parrot especially seems to like it. He's also a little acrobat and will flip upside down from your finger pretty much any time. He knows I won't let him fall, so he's willing to take risks other birds would think twice about. Plus, he's under a year old, so he's still learning a lot and curious about everything. Sorry to hear that your older bird is slowing down, it's always sad when they start showing their age.

I've read a lot about parrots. They are akin to young children.

Plain answer to your question is, "Yes, I do." And yes, this is just my personal opinion as a mathematician who has literally collaborated with neuroscientists in their research. There's been no accepted theory about the correlation between brain size (relative nor absolute) and intelligence. There are some interesting readings for this "controversy."

John Shay seems a typical anti science dolt. The rant about scientists manufacturing data for the money is a tell.

Sad... Now your are just emotionally bashing "women" and all the findings of Sigmund Freud----I figured you are not someone that a person like me can converse with. How unfortunate... Good bye, have a nice day.

And she knows the social cue that if he looks back, she will follow 😍 Humans and other pets do same thing, I feel like

EXACTLY MY REACTION 😂

@@MegaZee14 ive grown up in a house with one of these critters, they are actually able to develop the agility to "pick up the phone" if it rings. My foster parents had a land line phone until like 2012, and used it often, and it would hear the ringtone. If nobody picked up the phone, she would make the pick up noise and carry out half a phone coversation in my foster dads voice...was pretty funny! They also like to play Ludo...

@@Elenrai Awww 💜💚

i can speak 8 languages then 😂

Somehow, I was a little disappointed that she didn’t also speak French. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 🇫🇷

Einstein is the coolest.

X Rated Ruby is the greatest lol

ZS6JMP all parrots are coolest

No. there's one that swears. She's the Boolest.

ZS6JMP y

Le Chanclisme robespierriste my dad rescued a parrot when he was around 20 and now he is seventy and he and the parrot are still best friends.

There's always that guy that says "don't buy this animal, u can't hold it, it's not a pet"

@Gi Gi like when my mom said that i can't have a dog

Great warning. It takes a lot of time and patience to raise and keep parrots. Btw I hate birds in cages.

@Ronald Burgandie the 90's years is a definitely a far stretch unless he was confusing a grey's lifespan with a macaw or a cockatoo. Extremely loud sounds more like a cockatoo, macaw, or a conure.

I fed my Indian ringneck Parrot with my own hands for 2 years and he never bit me. He was a baby when we got him so maybe that's the reason.

Go to the BirdTricks here on youtube and learn how to fix that. (I have/ had 4 greys sofar in my life and babysat others: you actually have to teach these birds to bite humans afaik. )

thats not luck

steve bowles that's ok teach him or her not to bite, just search for it

Spend more time with him

Hanlu Cao Thank you ! :)

+Eye_Fire I have some birds and how I got them to trust me is I let them have some space and took care of them and let them know I was the person who gave them food. Then I worked inside the cage without touching them. They eventually got to know me and got on my hand. Hope this helped anyone who reads. This works for a lot of birds!

Waffen Thank you :)

Gerald what, you think? My mums got one and every time we go round to her house. She has it sat on her arm being adorable although when I go near it he tries to take a finger off

I could tell before even watching the video that this grey was a youngster, a mature grey would never allow this

holy shit it’s a cockatoo in disguise

@@noahcrumrine4228 smokey is six years old. Not a baby.

Why

probably because he's worried the bird could out live him ...

not an it

No one older or anyone who can’t give the bird 10hrs a day of attention or affection should ever buy a bird like this. These birds are no different than a 5yr old child and if kept in a cage for long periods will go crazy. Shelters are full of birds like these. Morons with money too burn get them like they’re trophies to show off to their friends and they very quickly find they’re a lot of work. They also live as long as a lot of people. None of this means that you can do what you want with smaller parrots because they’re all extremely smart and require a ton of time and work. Birds are extremely messy and can be very loud and are often very jealous. So they can attack anyone they don’t like. A small parrot bit through my lip and my ear. It frickin hurt! So unless you can give them a huge amount of time don’t get a bird!! They’re very special and very delicate animals

@@canuckpeoplerule I agree. I would add that getting a bird like this is like getting married or having kids and needs that level of consideration. Are you willing to commit to a life long relationship with this creature?

+Diego HZ i love dis parrot too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Where did you get him from? I really want to get one

I thought the exact same. A very large amount of trust here.

The fruits of kindness, regardless of gender or species .......

Don’t you mean dislikes? This isn’t Reddit

She's a girl

Shiny Unicorn ikr so adorable:)

Mike Kafes Your welcome! They are a huge commitment and I don't think a lot of people realize that until they get one.

+wingsNpaws question how so you train smokey to do that so well?

+wingsNpaws Your not going to eat him, right? :^D.

@BTABA i think this also has to do with a level of trust between bird and owner

WHAT!!!??? i hope ur joking...+Kassa

aww :)

Stop yelling, you two!

STOP YELLING

AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

HERES MY CONTRIBUTION@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

AAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHGGHHHHGHHHGHHHGHGHH

PatchouliMoonsong Sweet! Have you had him for all 9 years?

Not the whole of it. We adopted him when he was just 6 months old. :)

+PatchouliMoonsong that's actually old??

Callan Beveridge Oh no, nine is pretty young for a Grey when you consider they can live up to sixty years.

Where did you get him from? I really want to get one

Nicola Senikxy p

I wanted one, instead of buying one, I adopted Shakespeare, he had three homes before us, and was very aggressive, he's warming up to us, loves my husband and he bites less and less, he loves kisses. We hope to have him for the rest of his life. He's our baby and he can talk up a storm, he imitates the dogs, the other birds, my husband snoring, my daughters laughs. We love him so much.

Birds are cute, but I like them best in the wild. Now amplifiers on the other hand, I have hundreds, tube and transistor, and they belong in the home well cared for. Especially guitar tube amps.

+Steven King In the interest of full disclosure, I have an African Grey parrot that hangs out with me in the shop. Yes, birds are well off in the wild, but with a good human family, and constant care and affection, they can be happy and live extraordinarily long lives in the safety of home.

Steven King - I don’t get it! I just don’t get how you can compare amplifiers with birds/parrots... 🐦 A living, thinking and feeling being against a dead THING? Makes NO sense whatsoever! 😜🤓🧐

@@lottatroublemaker6130 Amps aren't 'dead' because they weren't 'alive' to begin with. Saying otherwise makes you look like an idiot. Don't rag on someone's hobby just because you don't understand it.

@@lottatroublemaker6130 It was a joke because the commenter's name was "amplifier experts".

probably that they do not have an awesome bond like that! :)

Maybe they didn't like it because African Gray's are going extinct in the wild because of the international trade in these birds. Maybe Smokey would be happier in her own bird society. They are social animals and need each other, not humans.

@Patty Fulghum, it's so lovely that you gave that poor creature a loving home. :)

I've never seen YT video without dislikes
