    I have a masters degree in evolutionary biology. Parrots are extremely complex in their social needs, activity needs, etc. The kind of social relationships they build are so complex and important. Much of this is due to their incredible longevity in life spans and level of intelligence. I love seeing your work, you absolutely get it about their needs. They require much more care, time and interactions/activities than any other kind of pet.

  • @sjsmith9637
    @sjsmith9637 Před 2 lety +12

    It also looks like he needs a way to say "no." It looks like he uses head scratches to stop humans from making him do stuff. They're so smart they really need ways to 'say' what they want.

      Our parrot says no and it sounds like “Fah. Fah” In a very firm way. Both sounds are clipped. Short. Not run together. We immediately respond. Withdraw or change what we were requesting.

  • @victoriablanc761

    I think a lot of people underestimate the feelings of animals and birds. animals and birds really develop love and deep trust with their owners and they are often devastated when they lose one. it takes them time to grieve that loss. it's good to see him coming around a little.

    Oh my goodness you’re so lucky. I’ve wanted an African Grey for 20 years or a Macaw and never been able to afford one and I’d love to take in a rescue or an unwanted pet. I love working with birds. I hope you know how lucky you really are. Here in the U.K. they are around £1,600 which is around $2000 so they are just too expensive for me. Way out of my price bracket. Saved up the money once and my car engine blew up so I had to spend it on a new engine. Took me about 2 years to scrimp and save only for my hopes to be dashed. I’ve still got the cage and equipment and stands for one because I live in hope my good fortunes will come one day.

    OMG I TOTALLY KNOW LAURA!!!💜💜💜💜 I thought I recognized the name Bean & it being an African grey. Which I also know that Bean was a VERY loved bird of Laura's, so it breaks my heart to see what she must of been going through!💔 At least I know Bean was in good hands....
    I actually bought my very tiny, baby timneh african grey from her back when she use to be in that sorta business.🦜 Also for years after too, she was a great woman/friend that was always there to help when I was having parrot worries & constant questions etc. as it was all new for me back then!💜Then I also found out that I too had Lyme's as well. Anyways, Praying for her and her lil family & I hope she's doing much better by now too!?(Guess I better check on her myself.) She's got some pretty amazing parents too I remember! 💜🙏🏼
    BTW I just adopted a neglected 35 year old African grey from a woman I know up in Sandpoint. Sooo, it's been an interesting 24 hrs so far lol!🤷🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🧏🏼‍♀️ Wish me luck... I'm also ordering food & some other stuff on your guys website right now tooo! Still searching for the perfect cage for her too...Oh and you'll be happy to know that I didn't get her wings clipped either..🥰
