Koko also described a lemon as 'cry hurt fruit', which is pretty darn accurate.
I didn't heard it in this video can you tell me the name of the video or the link I'm obsessed with bunny
Bunny friend love you
@@sukritialok3026 Koko was a lowland gorilla female who spoke American Sign Language taught to her by her human instructor/student, Penny Patterson. I don't recall the specific video where Penny describes Koko's linking of known words in her vocabulary to identify unknown food/objects, but I did make an error by telling you that cry-hurt-fruit was her way of communicating a lemon. It was actually a radish.
Koko never got the respect she deserved. I can’t tell you how excited I am to see real research being done on animal communication. It’s challenging a century’s worth of assumptions about animal cognition. ❤️
Koko 😢
Koko got all the respects she and her caretakers could muster. She's one of the world's most famous talking animal examples (I mean actually talking, without tricks), advancing our understanding of ape intelligence and awareness immensely. I doubt it could be any better.
Also, RIP Koko.
@@ShadeAKAhayate a lot of ppl tried to discredit her tho:(
@@honeyrose7663 For a reason, there was no rigorous long time research of her, she was more of a media personality due to her keeper shenanigans. Just because it was repeated many times in a media how she could talk doesn't mean it's true, even though many people are emotionally attached to that story. Read critical articles on her, her ability to speak as much as her keeper says were debunked
RIP Koko. The whole thing with her kitten was 😢. Even if she didn’t speak as much as was claimed, still, what a life. She even got an obit in the NY Times.
I love that "Settle Scritches Settle Come" one because it's like she's tricked you into saying it and then she's like "haha! You invited me on the couch! No takebacks!"
There's no doubt this is communication.
No doubt at all. Some people do not realize this is not language, however. Bunny is doing something just as amazing though, taking random sounds, linking them to concepts, and then can use these signs to communicate. It's easy to miss since Bunny are using English words as signs. Imagine if the buttons were not words, and the sounds were not of English speech, but instead of random sounds, then you learn what each sound refer to, and try to communicate using these sounds. In fact, a human could probably not do better than Bunny only using these signs.
One could argue it's not English, but a new framework for exchange of concepts, abstract and concrete. But that is just another way of saying it is a language. And it's English at that even.
(Meaning, she could communicate her needs, and even information about the world, with anyone capable in the English language)
@@grimfpv292 It's not new, it's called semiosis, study of signs. Most definitions of language would require syntax and grammar, which Bunny does not have access to. It requires knowledge of Bunny's training to fully understand what concepts Bunny is referring to with her signifiers (the sounds/buttons). Sometimes Bunny's signifier and the concept in English does not overlap. Such as "upstairs", which Bunny have even generalized to mean something akin to "up", or "above". Bunny's communication is rich with information, but this information can't be interpreted by any random person, because Bunny is not using English. Compare that to the sentences I'm writing right here, which is english, and any english speaker regardless of background can clearly understand.
@@xiupsilon876 Isn't that what language is? Agreed upon sounds used to communicate? Otherwise there would only be one language on the planet. It may be a rudimentary language without a set of grammatical rules, but it is a language. There are languages without sound, body language, sign language. This would fit the second definition. Bunny and her family are the community.
noun
1.
the principal method of human communication, consisting of words used in a structured and conventional way and conveyed by speech, writing, or gesture
"a study of the way children learn language"
2.
a system of communication used by a particular country or community.
@@xiupsilon876 It can't be interpreted yet. It is no different than a child first learning to talk or when a child who cannot speak begins to communicate using a speech or icon board. As they become more experienced they begin to hone their communication to become quite specific.
Sleeping through the day
Someone asks when will they be going outside.
"Why this."
Buns I feel ya.
Lol not only that I don't like to talk as I wake up
"why did you wake me up"
I'm imagining if and when Bunny and Billi meets they'll be arguing which is the best thing, 'scritches' or 'pets'. 😂
Billi would just be like, “mad” hahahahah! I can see it now! 🤣
And Bunny would be excitedly saying “cat” because she loves cats
And doesn’t Billi have a Bunny?
This is the crossover I need.
@@silvia3047 yes she has a toy named bunny.
when she said "happy" while dad was petting her ❤❤❤ i always have to go hug my pup after these videos
Tail begins wagging like crazy- checks out!!!!😍❤️💕
Sometimes a girl just wants to settle and get scritched.
EDIT: I think it is entirely possible that Bunny might be the Happiest Doggo in the entire USA.
WAYYY better to be able to communicate than to wear diamond collars and be carried in designer pet purses🐾🧡❗🅱️&🅾️
Bunny always looks like she’s wearing weird pants. Good.
Reminds me of that meme "if a dog wore pants, would it wear them like this, or this?"
Skritches are the corner stone of any nutritious breakfast.
I've been following Bunny for a while, yet it still amazes me how much she's able to communicate. Thanks for sharing these moments/progress, etc.
All dogs. All cognitive animals deserve and feel love
All animals really!
she's such a sweet and loving dog, love her wooly lil face
Scritches now, more, with dad. Bunny is a love.
That nap time view is the best view. Love Bunny’s ears.
The doors this experiment is further opening is substantial. The possibilities are exciting. Thank you for sharing your experience with us and for inviting us into your home. I realize how vulnerable that makes you to the opinions and possible negativity of others. Sending shielding energy and gratitude 🙏
The potential for scritches is nigh infinite.
Amen
@@imveryangryitsnotbutter OMG I love your user name!!!! lol
Where happy, she meant we're happy? We are happy. Yes, we are.
Ok I want a button that says “massage now” 😂😂 ❤️
When Bunny asked "Love you where now?" I could not understand her statement as anything else besides "do you still love me?" it's so pure, and I love it.
I had a severe phobia of dogs growing up, then I went to UConn (home of the UConn Huskies) and after overcoming the general fear, I met my college best friend's childhood dog, and learned to love dogs first hand. Sadly her 14 y/o golden retriever entered doggie heaven a week after i met her. My best friend has since adopted two rescues, and they're both my favorite non-human friends, and I want to join her someday as a fellow dog caretaker, and best believe I'll try to use buttons to give my future dog a voice that I can understand too.
Bunny is amazing. She is so smart and sweet. Her eyes convey so much. She could train me in 2 seconds flat. I would be at the mercy of those eyes.
Settle scritches is the nicest thing
7:20 It's funny, I commented on Undecided with Matt Ferrell's channel about the possibility of Neuralink allowing dogs to talk just like Dug from the Disney movie, UP. And he replied that he almost wouldn't want that because he's afraid some dogs are more judgmental, whiny, or complains a lot. I think he has a point and certainly all dogs have unique personalities but Bunny seems like such a sweetheart. Imagine how much more effective search and rescue dogs could be if they could communicate to us. Imagine all those times dogs were able to warn us with their senses but now with the ability to communicate to us exactly what it is that they are picking up on. I'm sure there'll be many false alarms but I think the possibilities are fascinating.
Wow, that's getting a little bit abstract: using 'this' to indicate the topic of going to the park instead of just reusing 'park'.
We'll see how Bunny handles it, that might be a little confusing!
I was expecting:
You: What play?
Bunny: Play sleep.
:D
Bunny makes me so happy, no matter how bad my day is. My dog gets the same expression on his face when Bunny says happy, and that makes me feel so good ❤️❤️❤️
Bunny: where happy?
Me: oh no...
She's so precious!!!
"I want paw scritches this morning." What an extreme budder-bean.
Thank you so much for sharing, sweet, Bunny with us. I love that France gave Non-Human animals "human rights". I'd like to see the US do the same. Of course they have language. This is soooo great - don't listen to any of the "haters" out there. Bunny is wonderful - being able to watch her progress is a gift! Thanks so much! If my dog was younger, I'd set her up with a play date - they'd have such fun - my girl is like Bunny, sweet, gentle, playful - SMART!!! As a pup - IF - I was able to get the ball away from her - I could only do it that way - once - she's just that smart. Is Bunny gentle with other critters? My girl is. She had her nose on a tiny, baby bunny, didn't hurt it - just wanted to smell it. Right now, I'm watching her watch three Chipmunks forging for food - not 20 feet from her. She's watching and enjoying - not moving. Fur babies are the best. Much Love!
Oh my. She's realized how to get what she wants now.
And my dog can’t find his way out from under a blanket. Bunny, you’re amazing!
I love it when she looks like she’s walking across the board but steps on the right button with her back foot on the way across ❤️ Also, she wanted a duvet day, I feel that.
I was in love with Koko from the time I was young. Wrote to her in elementary school and actually got stuff back.
Bunny is just the sweetest and in love with her also. 💝 What a gift.
Seems like “stranger” can be used for anything “new”. Wow, this is fascinating, and adorable!!!😍
I love her so much! That face! What an angel. ❤️
I woulld love to see you do a "beginner" series that goes step by step into how to introduce this to a dog and how to teach them to use it. It seems to open up and develop a whole part of their brain and really "exercises" their mind! I love it!
I would as well! I'd like to try this if I get better and ever own another horse and with other pets(my pets have all passed in the last few years). This could only be beneficial to our critter's lives. It feels like a missing piece that is going to lead to some important insight on communicating with them.
Watch the interviews Alexis has with other people on the topic. She refers to the exact resources she used and uses.
I loved watching Koko! Her kitten, meeting Robin Williams, and Mr. Rogers! Aww 🥰
The *yawn* “why this” is such a mood
She loves her scritches!
Bunny is the cutest thing ever. you are lucky. she is so sweet.
Obsessed with bunny
I...Love...Bunny...
Bunny was all about the scritches today! I love seeing her express herself...
Man, I wanna be dog at this house.
The info on their ear nerves is amazing. I think that is so cool
This is so interesting . It’s like learning the learning the language your child speaks when they learn to talk
It’s so cute to see you all as one big happy family, she sure is a smart dog it so crazy to watch as she actually communicates with you. When you look at her face and you see her eyes I can’t help but say she’s so sweet. Thank you for the vids I love to know what she’s up to.
Bunny cheers up everybody's day 😍🥰😍🥰
Wow, Bunny is a pioneer, on the vanguard of animal communication. This is revolutionary. Our pets do process and try to respond. Makes me more cognizant of my own animals' behavior.
@Tomato Trees . Yes. Thanks for the update. I did see some videos of Stella and its fascinating. I thought of getting my dogs some buttons but I'm kinda afraid of what they will say. 😄✌
@Tomato Trees . Well that would be just lovely. 😊
Dogs are so much smarter than any one knows.
It sounds like scritches make her happy.
"more happy" is my new mantra
My cats learned a type of sign language, come, go, up ok, outside, in, and my name. Plus the inflection of my name being called in the manner for help.they saved my husband from dying from a fall, during the night. Only time ever. I thank them for waking me up.
Love Bunny.
Koko called an onion a "cry apple". What an amazing being she was, so intuitive.
Those eyes!!! Such love in those eyes!💕
Such an adorable family
Your dedication to teaching sweet Bunny is amazing! I can only imagine the hard work you have put into teaching your baby girl how to communicate with y'all...it doesn't go unnoticed! 💗💙💖 (I absolutely love the little bunny foo foo tail!)🤗
I would scritch all day, everyday! I love her.
Lol she wants love all day
i hope one day everyone will have a soundboard for their pet, as mandated by the new animal rights law, for which every animal that can learn to communicate with us is entitled to one ❤️
I hope one day Elon's Neuralink will be able to decipher dogs' brainwaves and allow them to speak just like Dug from the Disney movie, UP.
I’m with you. That would be cool.
Except we can’t even figure out how to communicate with each other. Seen a Republican and Democrat try to have a convo?
Juliann Davis XD i bet my ass the soundboard would help there too! when you need to work around a filter (although in this case a technical one, the mediating soundboard) between what you want to say and what you can say, the brain actually has to work more, and this way it gets rid of many self hurdles, like anger and such, to express what it wants to express. I have experienced this in the form of poliglots being more cordial in conversation, since they know the struggle of expressing something in a new language. It adds to the empathy i think!
@@Apostate_ofmind What a cool concept. I hadn't thought of that, thanks for sharing that idea
@@Apostate_ofmind I was expecting a joke answer, but that ended up being surprisingly informative at the end.
4:16 I like how he pressed it.
Who doesn’t love scritches?❤️❤️❤️🐾🐾🐾
Sise-to-side scritches between shoulder blades, please.
Mom focuses on head and neck.
Dad focuses on shoulders and back.
There's this ONE spot that is too far back for a foot, yet too far forward for mouth.
New button combos : scritches +spot and scritches + (body part/region)
Your posts are amazing. Thank you and Bunny for doing them.
CS Lewis would love these buttons. It reflects his Chronicles of Narnia
Bunny is so intelligent.. and sweet. Thankful she has a good mom and dad that allow her to be all she can be! These videos make my day- and my little boy who watches too. ❤ We love Bunny!
She is so intelligent 🧠🧠🧠... She looks even cuter with all this smartness
ok, when you start getting requests, communication is happening... Like most of us, your dog has you well trained...
My dog when she wants that much attention especially gets excited if I get DOWN or SETTLE on the floor with her instead of expecting her to come UP to me on the couch.
I love her black ribbon on top! Can you let it grow longer to look more like a ribbon? Bunny his so adorable and funny!
I first saw "scritches" in a Peanuts comic strip about a hundred and six years ago.
I’m also that old! 😳
She knows what she wants.
I absolutely agree with all You wrote.
Question is,
How dumb are we for thinking we are the most intelligent, just because we communicate with eachother...?!
So does animals, fish, birds, reptiles, all spieces, in their own language.
Surely intelligence can not be measured by the vocal cord?! And that is exactly what people does.
I just love this channel, and as soon as I am able, I will buy buttons to my two older cats. I love our communication, and perhaps they can teach me understand them more, in my own language. As I know THEY understand...
I just ordered buttons for my older cat too because of Bunny!
I agree wholeheartedly! Why would need not jump at this opportunity to make a closer connection with the non-humans in our lives. I am grateful all that you and Bunny are to teach us how to teach and learn from each other and that so much more is possible than we ever dreamed. Very best to you and yours! :)
“More scratches” lol
Aww she is just adorable. I love the little patch on her eye.
I love this channel. It's amazing to see Bunny communicate and you're so patient and loving with her 🥺
You've created a scritches monster.
Bunny's eyes are just the cutest thing.👀
These are just ordinary dogs. They all understand us and if we would only listen...
Scritches is my new favorite word ♡🐾🐾💕 bunny the world needs your innocence and love you's 💕
im so touched by this and really want to get these for my kitty. you have an incredibly smart dog♥
Have you ever asked Bunny to give YOU scritches, Alexis?
such a lovely natured dog i quess thats the poodle in her
More scritches? Never too many
I LOVE BUNNY, BUN, BUN!!
I love love this sweet family
You are all so loving
It makes me sooo happy ❤️❤️❤️
I think it's funny that she calls them "scritches" because I always ask my dogs if they want the scritchety scratches.
P.S.--They usually do.
Seems to me like Bunny just wanted to have some cozy days laying around. I feel ya, sweetie, cozy day with scritches.
I'm so glad this research is taking place! I hope that in a few years from now all dogs will have affordable access to these communication devices and loving caregivers (like you) to spend time learning "dog talk." Bunny is such a love and she's blazing the trail for the future of all dogs!
I wanna give Bunny virtual scritches :3
Amazingly lovable 💕 has my heart.
Those eyes 💕
Awww bunny is so talented and so adorable
Everyone knows they are acutely tuned to the emotions of their packs, human or k9, and we know they can learn "commands" , why do we not believe they want to communicate. Maybe because if we are forced to look at what they truly are we will have to change how we treat all animals.
Time we got over thinking we are the cleverest thing.
I didn’t know that about dog ears! My last dog wouldn’t do anything to hint that she wanted her ears massaged but when I would, she would lean her head into my hand and give a big sigh.
😂🤣😂 if I had a scritches button, my Chihuahua would just stand on it all the time 🤣
crazy to see the progress that has been being made. I wish people would take time to do this in a lab, and read the dogs brain waves with things like an EEG. We could totally develop technology like in that rick and morty episode.
Oh they have dogs in labs, especially Beagles, and you really don't wan to see the neuro experiments. This is much better, providing the "parents" have received sufficient training in how to respond. It falls on them to keep the dog encouraged instead of frustrated. Not every dog parent is qualified to try this. And not every dog is Bunny.
I love that in that episode Snuffles chooses to change his own name to Snowball.
Never heard of scritches, cute expression:-)
She's just amazing!! I see she has a favorite "scritches" 😁💜
