  • Einstein perches inside his screen porch and talks a blue streak! Reciting many of the words he loves to say, he speaks clearly and his pronunciation is better than some of the best English teachers.
    🐦
    Einstein Parrot is a very talkative African Grey Parrot! He lives with us in our home in Texas and was hatched on June 15, 1997. Einstein is a silly, smart, and popular parrot who loves to talk and entertain! He is famous for his impression of Matthew McConaughey, ( • Einstein thinks Matthe... ) NOT the "Einstein" that was featured on the TV show Animal Planet. He likes to talk on various "parrot approved areas" in our home, such as the kitchen drawer, the shower, kitchen chairs, napkin holders, and of course his play perches! Einstein has brought much joy to our lives, but training and living with a parrot requires time, patience, and sacrifice.

    When I was home with bronchitis, my grey kept saying, “Hey Hon? “ He repeated it for hours. Finally I said, “What?” And he said, “Are you OK?” I almost fell off the couch. I said, “Yeah I’m OK.” After that he didn’t ask me again. People think parrots just repeat or mimic what they hear - that there is not a real intelligent process behind it. That proved to me that they do associate words with situations - even if it’s one they haven’t experienced before. They are very smart.

      Greys have the intelligence of a 5 year old and the emotional maturity of a 3 year old. I had one I used to have conversations with. She only told me one time " I love you" . It was on mother's day. I hand raised her from a half grown baby. I was experienced with parrots. If I could tell you about a male grey I had without crying , I would. You would be crying too though. I've got tears in my eyes. Gotta stop. He had a fatal disease when I got him but I didn't know. And a small new appliance burning off fumes that I didn't expect ,killed my girl. These guys require lots of knowledge to care for successfully. I miss my greys so much.

      My bird does too. I always observe that he makes the corresponding sound [and words] with the corresponding emotion. They learn language and means of communication that really works. It's especially apparent when you live alone because you really develop a relationship with your bird.

    One thing a lot of people don't realize is that African greys actually have cognitive language skills. They have the ability to not just repeat words, but understand their meaning as well.

    • @PetroicaRodinogaster264
      @PetroicaRodinogaster264 Před 3 lety +85

      @ C Lescell .....No they don't have cognitive language skills.
      It is a smart bird in the world of birds but it is not smart in the true sense of the word. Someone says it is pointing with its foot when it mentions squirrels but it isn't. It is a typical body language of parrots to do that.
      It is just mimicking, not thinking up language. Anyone who thinks it is anything more is not in full possession of their own brain....(so on that level, the bird might be smarter than those people...maybe). He is no more thinking a thought and verbalising that thought, than a computer does. Both need human input first.
      If he can solve problems and obey directions, then that would be smarter than just speaking. Crows are smarter in that respect.
      Don't get me wrong. It is a lovely bird and very cute and entertaining, but it is just a recording machine.

      @thetrueoneandonlyladyprinc8038 Před 9 měsĂ­ci

      I am pretty sure they understand things such as colors and food names, especially when they are properly taught in a way that it doesn’t confuse them - when a being sees or hears a word associated with the thing or action that it reflects multiple times, one automatically learns it, whether one is a hum’n or a parrot, and it’s the same way hum’ns learn, by imitating the words they hear associated with certain items or actions multiple times, hum’ns wouldn’t be able to speak or understand anything if others wouldn’t have taught them little by little with a lot of repetition and association of certain words with certain things or actions, and some parrots have the vocabulary of children, and it also depends on the parrot, because certain parrots are really smárt and have better comprehension skills and better memory than most parrots, as are certain dogs, for example, the dog who has always been loyal to me only was never trained and is naturally smárt and unlike other dogs!

    I noticed how Einstein plays, not only with the combinations of words, but also with the tone, pitch, and emphasis he places within each. It also seems that he tends to group words in like associations. For example, 'wet', 'drink', 'water', and the water sound are grouped together, animal identifiers, both names and sounds are grouped together. He even groups the comforting words together, 'it's alright', 'don't be scared, and 'are you okay?'. Pretty smart bird, Einstein!

      I read a lot of these comments and they are all true, What I particularly liked the most is he was taught not only to be a nice bird, but there is no CUSSING. That is brilliant. Because that's all you see these days is CUSSING birds and while video tapping the owners of the birds act like," that is a very bad bird, don't cuss bad bird"It's disgusting that in itself is sooo fake! Where else are these birds going to learn bad words besides from they're owners? Maybe in rare cases like the original owner had passed away or went to prison, something like that, but very seldom right? These birds in most cases learn it from their owners, Everybody laughs, They get attention. These poor birds correlate cussing attention cussing peanuts or cussing food cussing attention.What I'm trying to say is I like the birds that are intelligent with no cussing so my hat is off to you good job I really like this bird I don't know how to say and so many words but you are like so far the best one that I've seen teaching the birds the right way again good job.

All that he is speaking about is this love interaction ,what is his deep happiness and all the names,sounds and things he has in learnt in the way. This is his rendition of what all around has touched his heart.

    I saw a documentary regarding parrots & the African Grey was amazing! He was "potty trained" so that when he was not caged, he pooped in a pie tin. He would then instruct the other birds, who were not African Greys, to "go potty in the pan" (or some variation of the pan....I cannot recall if he used pie tin exactly). The documentary said that Greys are as intelligent as dolphins & dogs. The documentary did state however that parrots can be destruction if they are neglected & some of them will even pull out their own feathers....obviously that was devastating to see. Such beautiful, intelligent & social creatures. I cannot have one due to my allergic reaction to feathers. Bless these people who share their beautiful animals with us.

      A friend of mine had an African Gray she kept at her shop in town. She could teach him to say anything with in a day or two, but it was always in her voice. He wouldn't mimic anyone else. When she retired she brought him home. Her husband had a very deep voice and over the course of the first year home he switched to the husband's deep voice for everything and picked up new words and phrases only from him.

He's so very, very intelligent and also very sensitive..(I don't know much about parrots/other birds, but it seems like everyone, almost, of them, loves that "Peek-a-booh" - game, is that right?) 💞 And its so good that people now take them out for free flying, and flying inside, too! To fly just must make a bird happyer, be more relaxed in the cage, sleep better, handeling being alone, locked-in, better.. Flying must be wonderful.. I feel so sorry for inclosed birds who's not allowed to fly, not even in a basement-corridor, for example!! People who keep birds locked-up: take the Time and Dedication, and make the right place, so he/she can FLY!! They always come back to you, when you treat them well, give enough food, good, healthy, tasty food! (I have watched "BirdTricks", alot, with JamieLeigh, Capri & David, from USA) 😍❤️🙏🦜🦜🐦🐦🕊️🕊️🐓🐔🥚🐣🐤🐥

    African Greys are truly fascinating! They have been shown to have a cognitive level of a 4-6 year old human!
    It’s been shown in experiments that grey parrots can learn number sequences and can learn to associate human voices with the faces of the humans who create them. It has also been reported that grey parrots are capable of using existing known English words to create new labels for objects which the bird does not know the name. For example "banerry" ("banana" + "cherry") for "apple", "banana crackers" for "dried banana chips" or "yummy bread" for "cake".
    In addition to their striking cognitive abilities, grey parrots have displayed altruistic behavior and concern for others. Researchers found that while blue-headed macaws were unlikely to share a nut with other members of their own species, grey parrots would actively give their conspecific partner a nut, even if it meant that they would not be able to get one themselves. When the roles are reversed their partners would return the favor! This shows they can act selflessly and reciprocate gifts! There is so much more but they are truly some incredibly smart birds!
