- This 'Myna' bird lives at the hotel we were at in Ubud, Bali.
He was very talkative in the mornings. It was hard to believe how he did this.
Note that the ONLY time i prompt him to do anything in this video is for the laugh, the rest he volunteered.
Typically, people would learn what he says, then say it to him to have him repeat it, but this particular morning, he just gave it all to me!
More on the Myna bird: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myna
Imagine walking through the forest by yourself, and then you hear "GOOD MORNING"
Imagine walking through the forest alone and then hearing this creepy female like voice laughing at you, I'd run ill tell you that! 😂
One neighbor had a bird that did wolf whistles.
What else do you think wendigos or other forest ghosts are? "do not run after a crying lady" "it speaks to you", loons and goons and buffoons that is the harsh reality of haunted woods.
I had a great myna named Heckle. He didn’t talk for the longest, but we could hear him practicing while he thought we were out of the room. So amazing, in that they are different than parrots. Parrots use their own voice to interpret, and it sounds pretty close to the teacher. However, mynahs are like a tape recorder. Notice that every nuance is in his words, even a sigh or taking a breath like someone after they speak. Subtle and exact. Amazing.
Yeaaa yo! I actually noticed that some phrases they say.. it sounds like they’re saying them in a completely different voice! I was curious if they actually did that! Like.. mimicked they persons voice who taught them the specific phrase cause you’re right.. they do sound like they just recorded the person speaking and are playing it back. THIS one legit sounds like he’s speaking in a woman’s voice and then a mans voice. AND that “breath” he took at the end of the laughing.. SOOO COOOL DUDE 🤙🏼🤙🏼
There was a mynah bird in the brooklyn children's museum in the 60's that could mimic people perfectly upon meeting them ONCE. MIND BLOWN.
great name choice!! hahaha
Very true! They sound so precise in their mimic. I absolutely love the name Heckle, btw.
Omg that’s amazing.
The laugh is unnervingly convincing.. O.o
It's better than any talking parrot I've ever seen
yes . they can pronounce clearly.
If you think that this is cool, check the lyrebird
parrots are overrated.
They are quite intelligent. They can actually create full sentences too. Most parrots only say phrases. These birds can be a pain in the ass too! 🤣
Their words are so clear!
Truly astonishing even getting down accents! I'd love to hear it do an Irish accent. Probably 10 times more authentic than anyone in Hollywood!
best voice actor ever 10/10 would cast again
Nope
I once was talking to one and when I walked away it started meowing like a cat... Trippiest thing ever!!!
😂😂😂😂
😂😂
This reminds me of my grandma…she had a rescue Myna Bird for about 5 years. Definitely the smartest, most intuitive pet she ever had. Her name was Myna Bird 😅
We had one when I was a kid. Called Major. He used to sing the theme from Dallas and hold a conversation in two voices. Incredible mimics.
That bird sounds so human, it's amazing.
imagine breaking into the zoo... and then in the bird area you hear laughter and when you check theres noone to be found
I wish everyone would just talk back. Birds are smart, they want the interaction. They aren't just saying random words for the fun of it, they're saying what will illicit the most response. Give them a conversation pls. 🥺
Oh trust me I have spoken with this bird plenty of times. I was as quiet as possible only for the purpose of taking this video!
what is amazing and disconcerting as well is that the bird's beak does not move to match the syllables of the words spoken. Only a couple times does his mouth open and shut during a word, the rest is produced through the vocal chords the way his natural calls would be. Very cool
Birds doesn't hv vocal cord they use muscle to produce sound
Disconcerting is the wrong word
@@wolvesnrp nope, i'd say it's pretty disconcerting!
As someone who studied speech pathology, it’s amazing to me that these birds pronunciation is so clear, when they have no lips. Not sure what their hard and soft palates are like, but I’m sure it isn’t very human like.
@@christinahighsmith4453 they use sine-wave speech!
It blows my mind how each of the voices sound like a different person.
the laugh was actually very spooky^^
The breath in at the end was what screwed me up bad.
Oh so so so darling, when I was a little kid I used to stop by a local pet store almost everyday just to see Charlie the talking mynah bird, unbelievable talking bird, many words and very very clear, he was $350 and he'd tell you that. He was there for many years and many people would go to see him and laugh about how well he could talk. I don't know if anyone ever bought him or not, it's so long ago, $350, really??, now they're probably $3000, but I always wanted one, I thought he was the cutest bird ever. The last time I've one for sale at a pet store was in the late 80's. They are so cool.
Throwing up in Hialeah when I was a child there was a pet store that had a minor bird to talk one day we were walking by the pet shop and my mom said there's a mineberg she said you see that bird she said they can talk and I didn't believe her until one day I went in the pet shop and the bird said hello what's your name and I I couldn't believe it and I realized at that time that it vocalized even better than a parrot it sounded human I wonder how many Myna birds there are left in the wild?
I never thought that myna could speak so well clear loud n audible, I think that they are much better than parrots, it's so nice to listen to them talk. Love them much.
I never seen such a beautiful talking bird...it's way beyond parrots
I could listen to him all day!
Myna is a actual boss in all talking birds world.
that was the most insane thing I've ever watched.
Hello b0ss
Hello 🅱oss
cdahdude51 f
Eyyyy boss
Can I hab aeee pizza pleeees
How are they physically able to do this? I know there are a lot of mimic birds, but the myna birds are on a totally different level. It is more like a recording device than a mimic.
Like voice actors
This CZcams video briefly covers on how they’re able to mimic the nuances in human voices. It features a common mynah bird named Kaleo who is yes good at mimicry, but hill mynahs (this video) are actually the best out of all the mynah species at being chillingly human sounding.
Wonder if it’s like lyrebirds where they have multiple sets of vocal cords ?
Mynah birds are indigenous to my country. They're amazing.
1:18 idk why those sounds made my blood run cold but holy shit
I've never seen/heard something so creepy and adorable at the same time.
The level of speech this bird has made me rewatch this multiple times to determine when the bird talked to realize the bird was talking the entire time
I staged this video to try to get the bird to say as many things as I'd heard it say.
I only prompted it once for the laugh as that's one of my faves!
In the jungle park in Tenerife they have a myna and there was this macaw that was doing funky things like hanging upside down and making funny calls and the myna beside it was like ''awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww'' like he was understanding something or just amazed from what the macaw was doing, it can also say some other words like ''Hello'' and it even said surprisingly ''Scotlanndd'' And sometimes it makes a noise that sounds like a star wars lightsabre and a blaster firing
the sigh after que laugh is hilarious!
He sounds like B-MO from adventure time!
She was definitely a mynah bird in a past life. "No I'm not, no I'm not, no I'm not" 😆
amazing birds, we grew up with 2. they could do any sound, period.
We see and hear so much about other parrots, etc. but the Myna Bird seems to easily be the best "talker" of all. They actually sound like people and don't have that "squawky" sound that most other birds have. I wonder if they are relatively easy to handle, like the parts, etc., usually are.
Imagine yourself taking a shortcut into a cementary at night then you hear that.
The laughing is unnerving lol
The laugh gets me 😂😂
How has Disney NOT done a talking Mynah bird character in one of its animated movies?
I need this pokemon
It’s Uncle Feather!
I'm here because of Uncle Feather. :)
@@jaimeevoth4807 I'm glad someone else likes the Fudge series. :)
Wow,it sounds so clear like an actual human,if it was my alarm clock that'll creep me out.
oh I see
That's amazing how much they can imitate your voice.
The first and only Mynah bird I ever saw, was in a cage. I saw it when I was four years old. It was my neighbors' Nynah. I heard they could talk, just not so well.
When I was young my mum and dad had a Mynah bird named Fred. He talked a lot!
They are beautiful.
Damn that flirt whistle 😂
legit a tape recorder im amazed T^T
Seriously now, who and why would anyone dislike this?
Because he’s in a cage
hahahhaha! This bird is a real talker!
They are all over the place here in Hawaii. Not as pets tho, just flying free. 😊
Unlike parrots they can make deep tones and that’s why they can mimic so accurately
"Laura, myna' bird noise, Laura "
Waldo survived!
wow you caught it all!!
i miss this bird =((((((
Im reading Island by Aldous Huxley and I can now exactly envision the Mynah saying “Attention! Here and now, boys.”
I actually found a true story about a myna named Aldous! It was in 1962, the same year Island was published, so…
Reading it now and thought the same lol
and here i thought this bird walking all grim aimlessly scared me... :O but wow..
It's like you get the bird to talk to someone over the phone, and make them think it is a human. Awesome prank.
It's all fun and games until he learns to say "Bonjour, stupid!"
Anyone planning on having this bird as a pet should keep in mind that it needs to be cleaned after a lot.. it poops a lot.. makes very loud noises too.
That's all birds
Remember: birds have NO VOCAL CORDS
He should do voiceovers for a video game
My family had a mynah bird, from birth, it was so cool.
He was fluent in bengali when people took apples from our tree it would shout "SWOOR SWOOR!!!" Which means thief.
Our mynah was stolen once and he told my uncle who stole him when asked .It was sooooo cool, family members would spend hours with our mynah and bring lots of guests to visit him -- he actually learnt to speak totally fluent bengali.
He could answer basic questions like :are you hungry, are you tired? And even stuff like what snack do you want?
He learnt from when hearing things repeatedly, for example my nana would always nag us to pray so soon our myna started flying around telling us to pray at prayer times
In the mornings our mynah would sometimes call family members to wake up-- bc he got used to hearing us wake each other in the mornings lol.
If you actually read all of this you have too much time my friend.
That is so cool !😮
The canniness of the mimicry is astounding. They sound like a human, both a woman and a man.
A very intelligent bird.
This bird speaks more languages than I do.
Wow that's incredible
How many viewers or guest at the hotel would enjoy living in cage .So talented let them be free and entertain from trees etc :)
I think this bird may be suffering from multiple personality disorder.
😂😂😂
shawtys just bilingual 😎
Elton John had a myna named Roger, whom someone taught to say “Piss Off!” 😂
That laugh is spooky lol
That's why people tought they could hear spirits in middle age.
Hello 🅱️oss LMFAO
This is amazing
Omg, how do they change their voice like that? Can you imagine if they could prank call people LOL
Amazing bird
THAT IS SO GOOD!!!
1:30 does the sound of the cage opening, teach it to do the lye bird sounds lol aka everything lol
incredible
The only time I have had anything to do with Mynas it was in Kandahar-South Afghanistan. It was a different sort than this, with yellow just around the eyes and the rest totally black (and yellow-orange feet of course). They were a real nuisance, perching on the trees in the thousands and making so much noise that it was impossible to talk to each other without shouting... We had to beat tin boxes to shoo them away and then they were back in 15 minutes and the show repeated... Luckily they showed up only for a few weeks in late autumn.
Awesome.hope he gets out the cage at times
Crazy mini talking dinosaur!
Awesome!
that's a weird looking dog
John Smith
It’s clearly a gorilla
That's scary at midnight someone laugh like that
It isn't really a talking bird
It's more like the hello how are you, morning! *whistles and says hello in japanese* ech, eegch bird
This kind of bird is very intelligent. First time, he just repeat whatever you said. But he learn from context. Some case they can make a good conversation as well
The way he repeated his laugh back immediately was kinda creepy hahah
*her* laugh, but I get it... I have a nice deep voice.
And yes, I staged this video to try to get the bird to say as many things as I'd heard it say.
I only prompted it for the laugh as that's one of my faves!
The ultimate rickrolling weapon.
I'm curious if you played some music with clear vocals to these birds if they could sing like a human.
What should I feed a young mynah bird?
the voice is so clear
A myna lived near my mom's childhood house. He liked to sing the Mario bros theme.
For the winning vocal birds and the other hand
That laugh
So perfect it’s a bit surreal but cool 😎
This whole time I thought another person was talking to the mynah until it started to repeat what it said.
0:21 to 0:25, My Grandmother had a myna that did that, always thought it was funny as hell.
Wow that sounds like an actual human!
this bird working office？
The audio of this mayna was recently used in a movie
Man if i had one i would greet it everyone morning with a "whats good nigga?" Just to have it say it to all mates
Turned out he’d swallowed a tape recorder
