  • Baby, my Yellow-naped Amazon parrot inherited from my parents, has a huge vocabulary. Here are some of her more frequent words & phrases. She's bonded with my wife... they get pretty chatty sometimes. And even though I'm the old sailor in the house sometimes she gets a little salty!

      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.

      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.

      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.

      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.

      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 CZcams if anyone is interested, I have a few other rescue animal family members, animals are family in my home

    The was a parrot at my local zoo I haven't seen in about 10 years, but at some point long ago, a child must have passed by with one of those toy guns that make 20 different sound effects, the parrot emulated them perfectly for years and was the best part of the zoo.

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.

    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’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.
